San Francisco Animal Medical Center

I couldn’t possibly be more thankful for the care that Dr. Ybarra has provided to our kitties over the years. She is extremely compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and gentle to our babies and to us. As a veterinarian, Dr. Ybarra’s brilliance and dedication has inspired me to be a better clinician. Our old man kitty, despite many ailments, keeps on going thanks to all of her guidance, monitoring and interventions over the years. We have certainly gained significantly more quality time with him because of her care.

A number of my own pet parents have pets who see Dr. Ybarra too, and every single one of them has said she is the best. Having worked with her outside of the exam room, I can attest that she is actually just as lovely, respectful, kind and delightful as she is in the exam room.

Also, I must thank Dr. Bechtel and Dr. Bar who saw one of our other pets recently. They too were very thorough and gentle, and proactive about offering the highest quality of medicine so we could rule out some potentially scary causes of our cat’s issues. Unfortunately, one of the tests revealed something unexpected, and thanks to their prompt collaboration with the internal medicine service, our kitty was having an abdominal ultrasound by Dr. Ybarra just a few days later so we could get some answers.

Every time we have been seen, all of the team members have treated our pets so carefully and sweetly.
