Five Star Veterinary Center

Always reasonable, no BS and no up selling for your pets comfort. I drive from Valencia and pass numerous vet offices to drive here.

Doctor Stern is wonderful. I travel 2 hours to get to him and I will keep doing that. He really cares about our pets and us. He takes the time to explain and he is reasonable priced.

Dr. Stern is a very knowledgeable, very caring doctor. The prices are very reasonable, the staff is very attentive. I highly recommend Five Star Veterinary!

Dr. Stern was great. When I called the receptionist was a little rude but I went in anyway as compared to other vets these prices were a lot more reasonable. I was actually surprised when I arrived because the receptionist was very sweet. Must have been a different girl. Anyway I was a walk in and only waited about 5 mins before I was called in. The office was very clean, a little small but cozy. Dr. Stern came in and was very helpful and friendly, you can really tell he cares about the animals he treats. I do feel I was a little pressured to take a certain medication for my puppy (3 different meds were needed-​I thought only 2 were necessary) I took all 3 anyway and my pup is doing great. I was also given an emergency formula to feed my pup free and was told I could go back for more if needed. Luckily it wasn’t needed but it was nice of them to offer. I will definitely be going back and I would recommend dr. Stern to everyone that lives nearby.

Very clean, and I can honestly say they care about their work.
One of my cats was sick, they took the time to try to find food that she liked including going to the store and buying various cat foods.
The Vet was late one day and I had an emergency, instead of wasting my time and possibly killing my cat they sent me down to another Vet after calling to make sure their Vet was there.
The latest story is feeding stray kittens and they were just as helpful. This is my new go to Vet now that Collett’s is so bad.

Dr. Stern is truly a five star veterinarian understanding and reasonably priced. We’ve been going to him for years, my really likes the fact that he takes the time to list and answer all her concerns. We completely trust his opinion and that’s a hard thing to do when it comes to a family member. I recommended him to my mother in law, her friend, and my barber to name a few and all have been very thankful that I did.

I am extremely happy with this veterinarian. He always takes good care of my cat. Azalea is the first cat I’ve had and so I always have a million and one questions and concerns which Dr. Stern is happy to answer. I have 3 veterinarian offices less than a mile away from my house but I much rather make the 30 min drive to this office where I know she’ll be taken good care of.

The worst veterinarian ever! In the beginning I would always take my dogs here and trust the doctor with any diagnosis he had in regards to my dogs. But the last time I brought my new adopted pup to this doctor, he told me she had liver problems and that her stomach was full of fluid. I questioned if she was maybe pregnant, but he assured me she was not after using a stethoscope. X-​rays and blood work were done on her. As well as sticking a needle in her stomach to pull out as much fluid as he could. The cost of this was $ 300. I did not hesitate because I put my trust in him and loved this puppy very much. He referred me to go to get an ultrasound for another $ 300. It took me a few days to think about it.
One week after that visit, my pup had 4 PUPPIES!!! I was furious at the thought that he had misdiagnosed my dog and possibly inflicted harm by sticking a needle in her stomach. How could a veterinarian with years of experience not see if a dog is pregnant through an XRAY? Especially since she was one week away from giving birth?
After confronting the doctor and requesting a refund for pointless tests that led to a misdiagnosis, he refused to give me a refund and clearly said «I am not God, this is practicing medicine.» I would never refer this vet to anyone who cares about their dogs. There are far more better vets than this place. This doctor clearly did not care about my dog, but instead takes advantage of dog owners who place their trust in them.

Great place took my lil man here for a check up and they really made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. I spoke to the vet and he advised me that what lil man was going through was normal. Thank God! costumer service was great. Made me and my pup (Leo) feel very welcomed!

You would think that this place would be as disappointing as it was
Overall they attend your dogs real fast
But after doing some research and looking at different clinics and hospitals
It’s not only over prove but they give the shots that are ment for when they are older not the ones needed at the time
To make it worse when they give you an invoice letting you know which ones they got and will get in there next visit they wanna give them a shot twice that is only ment once
I love my puppy like if he is my own child and the thought of what could happen to him infuriates me

I came to this vet based on the great Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed! The vet that I have used for years in Santa Clarita wanted to charge almost $ 500 to neuter a dog I rescued running along Highway 126. I searched for a low cost spay/​neuter clinic and came upon Five Star Vet Center. The doctor took his time with us, the procedure went very well, my dog had a great recovery. I have been back since for a vaccination and was again pleased with everything, including the office staff. The prices are incredibly reasonable. I will continue to come to Five Star for all our vet needs.

This isn’t a review, just a thank you to all of you for your patronage, and understanding. We hate when you wait, because no one likes to wait. Sometimes it’s unavoidable because some people have more questions than others. We would never want anyone to leave without understanding what is going on. Lastly, we love having the opportunity to care for your pets and we are thankful to have all of you as our clients.

What an amazing center! Very reasonable prices that won’t break your wallet and they truly care about the well-​being of your pets. Right when I met Dr. Stern for the first time I knew I could trust him and his advice in regards to my pet.
My dog recently had to be put down because of his old age and deteriorating health but Five Star went the extra mile and surprised me with a personal card in the mail offering their condolences. I’ve never experienced that sort of level of care and support from any veterinary center.
Again, I highly recommend this place!

I had a great experience, it was my first time and I was very pleased with the doctor and the nurses they were so sweet and gentle with my kitty and the doctor really looked him over and examined him thoroughly. It was great ! happy with the prices and the time it took. They all loved my kitty ! I was overall very pleased

Dr. Stern was meant for this. He consulted with me and cared for my girl with sincerity, professionalism and skill. His rates are very reasonable and his staff are great. I highly recommend this office.

Amazing place and totally reasonable prices. This vet gets the fact that working class people can’t pay 50 dollars for an injection or 60 dollars for a few antibiotic pills.
Office call, two xrays for my dog and two meds to go home = 163 bucks. I am very appreciative for the care my dog received today and the efficiency of the front desk. Thanks to all of the staff.

I have been going to 5 star /​Dr. Stern for over 10 years. Words cannot express how happy we are with his services. I always make appointments, at times i have waited no more than 20 minutes passed my appointment time. There has been a few last minute same day and they always try to accommodate us. His prices are reasonable.
This has been our vet through four dogs (one Shepard mix and three full blooded Pitt bulls). We have never had Dr. Stern treat our dogs differently or lecture us on Pitt Bulls as one of the other reviews has said. We also take precautions as any dog owner should and we muzzle our dogs right when we are being called into the rooms. This protects our dogs, other animals and the vet. Our Pitts are not people aggressive however, any animal big or small can turn if in pain or scared.
I highly recommend Dr. Stern and 5 star!

Dr. Stern is a wonderful doctor. He cares about your pet, and gives you good advises. He checks pets’ physical heath with pationt and spend lots of time for them, and answers to all his coustumers questions. even one time we visit him because of our puppy’s eye diecharges, and he visited our puppy free. Five star vet staff are very nice and helpful.

Brought 2 of my Aussies for OFA certification… It went very well. On my range they are a lot cheaper than other vets from my area… The doctors are very knowledgeable
and the staffs are helpful. It’s totally worth 50min. to an hour drive from Thousand Oaks.
Great job!!!

Ah, I have mixed feelings about this place.
I like them because my boys are comfortable here. They’re not afraid of the staff, the vet, or even driving up to the location; you know how some freak out because they’re scared due to previous experiences. I also like them because their prices are reasonable and they don’t push up charges on you. That’s not to say they don’t suggest it but they don’t make you feel pressured.
However, I HATE the wait time. If you want to avoid the «no appointment» charge you obviously make an appointment, which we do, but it seems like they completely disregard the list. We made an appointment and ended up waiting an 1 and a half before we were seen by the vet. When the vet came over he literally spent 5 minutes with us and already had a diagnosis for my baby.
I’ll be back because it’s a way better option than the other vet down the street. However, I’d greatly appreciate it if they work on their scheduling.
Tip
Call ahead to verify that they are open. It seems like they change hours and days monthly.
