Provided by YP.comDr. Dhillon has been my "family" veterinarian for over 10 years, and I would not take my pets to any other vet. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I appreciate quality care. Dr. Dhillon is very loving, gentle and compassionate about the pets' needs as well as the owner's needs. He is amazing at making one understand the specifics about the situation, and he clearly defines the options. I ALWAYS feel like my pets are in the best hands. His staff is just as wonderful. I'm a customer for life! Thank you Dr. Dhillon!

Provided by YP.comDr. Dhillon has been taking great care of my animals for years now. Starting with my cat Damiaan and now with our two dogs London and Bandito. He always knows exactly what’s wrong and always prescribes the best care. Our puppies always get better immediately and we thank and appreciate him for that! I would recommend him to any pet owner!

Provided by YP.comI would like to thank you for all of the great personalized care which you provided for my dog Caesar. For nearly 14 years Caesar benefitted from your medical expertise, great care and devotion to his health. We now have a new puppy, Attila, which without hesitation I entrust his healthcare to you and your staff. Dr. Dhillon has always had an excellent bedside manner and demonstrates care and compassion with professionalism. He readily provides an explanation of the medical options for your pet. His staff is extremely caring, knowledgeable and has a devotion to the animals which come to the office. I strongly recommend this pet clinic to anyone who is looking for excellent pet care. Thanks again for your care of our pets both past and present.

Provided by YP.comRemarkable - The hidden jewel in So. Cal. pet care. We recently encounters a medical problem with our dog Peaches. The unexpected cost associated with her medical condition caused a great deal of anxiety and Dr Dhillon (and staff) picked up on my emotions and took every possible step to ease the burden. They offered multiple solutions and went above and beyond to ensure that Peaches got the much needed medical treatment. Dr. Dhillon we as far as to follow me to the parking lot to express his concern for Peaches and took extra time to make sure that I understood all financial options. In the end, we were able to proceed with the surgery and received treatment which far exceeded the money spent. Dr. Dhillon requested that we contact him multiple times, late into the evening, to give him updates on Peaches' recovery and offered comforting reassurance as to how she would progress thru her next few days of recovery. Additionally, he asked that we contact him, first thing, the following morning. When he sensed that my wife was reluctant to force feed medications, he suggested that she bring Peaches in where he again went above and beyond. Noticing that my wife was emotional, the requested that she leave Peaches with them for 1.5 hours and they made sure that she received the floods, food and medicine she needed. Less than 36 hours after her surgery, around 8:45pm, I received a 3rd follow up call from Dr. Dhillon personally. I was happy to report that she has progressed much faster than I expected; but right on the timeline he projected. She is at 70% of her normal self and I have EVERY confidence that she will be at the 90% Dr. Dhillon expects when we wake up tomorrow. I can honestly say; I have never seen anyone so passionate about their patience or customers. To know that Dr. Dhillon often works 7 days a week (after 25 years in his profession) and accepts calls from 7:00am thru 10:00pm is nothing short of a passionate Dr. who is a Godsend to any pet owner within driving distance of Black Mountain Road Pet Clinic. Above and beyond any customer service that we have ever experienced. The facility was very clean & organized, the staff were very accomidating, polite and compassionate. From the minute we walked in, for an unexpected surgery on our dog, until she was 100% recoverd; they continued following up and educating us every step of the way. It was clear that our pet's health was their number 1 concern....

Provided by YP.comWe are so happy with Dr. Dhillon and Black Mountain Road Pet Clinic! I have never had a vet take such an interest in a pet before. Dr. Dhillon calls regularly to check on our puppy when he is being treated for something. He really cares about our dog and we appreciate it so much. He is very accessible. He always gives options for payment and treatment and we never feel that we are being taken advantage of. The entire staff is caring, friendly and warm. Thank you Dr. Dhillon and Black Mountain Rd Pet Clinic!

Provided by YP.com** The Best Vet in Town ** You never know, when getting a new pet, how often you will need to visit your Vet. Like our children, our pets need medical care at all hours for all sorts of reasons. And finding a great Vet for our Pets is like finding a great Dr. for our children. This last month has been a trying month for our puppy Kobe. He was bitten by a rattlesnake on the mouth 3 weeks ago. We rushed him to Dr. Dhillon at closing time and he took amazing care of our Kobe for several hours past closing without even a complaint. Thankfully, Kobe survived. Yesterday, Kobe was hit by a car ( I know, it has been a brutal month). We rushed him to Dr. Dhillon again, at closing time, and he immediately took control and care of our dog while showing such care and compassion to us as we were a mess. My Kobe is going to be o.k, lets just say, he will be an inside dog for a while. If you are looking for the best Vet in San Diego, with the best staff, please take your Pets to Dr. Dhillon, he is simply amazing!!

Provided by SuperpagesDr. Dhillon is a skilled professional and a very caring person. I have relied on him for about seven years to care for my pets. I am happy to give him my highest recommendation. The clinic is spotless and the staff is always helpful. I met Dr. Dhillon when my dog was injured and my vet at the time would not make room on his schedule to see the animal that day. Dr. Dhillon recognized the emergency and saw my dog right away, performing minor surgery. The dog fully recovered.

Provided by YP.comWhen we first met Dr Dhillon 5 months ago, we had no idea how quickly he would become invaluable to us and our new puppy Kobe.
At our first visit, we were surprised to learn about the after hours care we could receive with Dr. Dhillon. It never occurred to us that we would be using that service 2 times within the next few months. We cannot express how much it meant to us to have someone so caring as Dr Dhillon and his staff take care of our puppy during these emergencies and not have to rush him to an emergency clinic where they don't know our family, including our Kobe.
Thank you Dr. Dhillon and staff, for giving us the peace of mind of knowing that we always have your office to take Kobe, not only for great regular visits, but for after hour emergencies too!

Provided by YP.comDr. Dhillon has been our pets' vet for about ten years. He runs a small clinic, so I feel that the service is very personalized and since he is the only doctor on staff, my pets always have a consistent experience. The office is clean, the assistants are always really nice and most importantly, everyone handles and treats my pets well.
For a year or two, I tried getting my pets' shots done at a large-chain pet store because it was a little bit cheaper, however I quickly came back to Dr. Dhillon because I realized how important it was to see the same doctor in the same office all the time. Each year, my pets come to the same building, wait in the same exam room, see the same people and smell the same smells. It makes them less nervous during their routine visits, and in the event that they get sick, it will be important that my pet knows the doctor and that the doctor, in turn, knows my pet. Dr. Dhillon also offers extended, emergency on-call hours, in case we really need him outside of regular office times.
In the past I have had experiences with veterinarians who handle the pets like they are farm animals, pinning them down and not seeming to notice or care whether they are scared or uncomfortable. Dr. Dhillon is extremely gentle. Yes, at times he has to do unpleasant procedures on the pets, but he definitely demonstrates care and compassion. I really trust Dr. Dhillon and so do my pets. He offers everything I value in a veterinary clinic.

Provided by YP.comWe have been so pleased with Dr. Dhillon and Black Mountain Pet Clinic we would strongly recommend them to anyone who loves their pets. Our cat of 9 years was sick and Dr. Dhillon met us at his office on a Sunday morning. After tests we determined that our cat would not get better, only worse. What a difficult time it was for our family and Dr. Dhillon took the time to patiently explain what was happening several times so we could make a decision we were comfortable with. We even received a phone call from the doctor making sure we had all of our questions answered. Only a month later our other cat got sick, again the doctor met us after hours, 8 p.m. on a Saturday night, to evaluate our cat. He gave us a phone call later that night to make sure our cat was okay and wanted me to call the next day with an update. I felt and know he truly cares about us and our pets and that this is not a job for him, but his passion and purpose. I feel very grateful to have met him during such a trying time

Provided by YP.comWe have taken our pets to the A Black Mountain Road Pet Clinic since we moved to San Diego in 1988 and over the years we have had 3 dogs and 7 cats. Dr. Dhillon and his staff have consistently provided excellent veterinarian service both as preventative health care and when critical care was needed. They have provided excellent explanations of the treatments recommended and the various treatment options, allowing us to choose the desired course of action. Our pets are always treated with respect and kindness. I continue to recommend Dr. Dhillon, Sara and the entire staff to my friends. Our pets have enjoyed healthy and long lives thanks to their care.

Provided by YP.comI have been taking my dogs to Dr. Dhillion for the past eight years or so for various reasons including neutering, routine vaccines, allergic reactions, ear infections, and on the going treatment of my epileptic dog. Dr. Dhillion has a solid foundation of knowledge and years of experience in the veterinary field. He always clearly explains all charges and gets consent before proceeding with anything. You can opt to decline any treatment or procedure. If your pet has a problem that Dr. Dhillion feels is beyond his scope of his expertise, he will refer you to a specialist for that particular problem.
The prices Dr. Dhillion charges for services and treatments are fair. His clinic is clean and well maintained. Having a sick and beloved pet can be very stressful and can lead to some unwelcome vet bills; however, pets are living, feeling beings who get sick and need medical care just like we humans do! Pets give us unconditional love and joy and are deserving of the dignity of competent medical care when they are sick. If you are going to be upset that you have to pay for veterinary care when your pet becomes ill, it is best that you not have a pet!
In addition to the good care Dr. Dhillion provides at his clinic, I will also mention his assistant, Sarah. She is an excellent adjunct to his practice. She is cheerful and very knowledgeable regarding many animal issues. Anytime I call for refill medications, she is always very prompt and reliable in having them ready on time and goes out of her way to accomodate me. I will also say that this veterinarian is very available when you need him and has after hours calls. Animals do seem to have a tendency to get sick after "business hours!"
