My advice for anyone in search of an amazing vet, is Stiern, 100% !Several years ago, while another vet was doing nothing to save my dying dog child, we received LIFE SAVING advice from Monet and veterinarians over the phone. After our traumatic experience, we began asking around for veterinary recommendations and received endless praises for Dr. Rako at Stiern. After our advice over the phone and all the recommendations, It was an obvious decision to choose them.I have several animals and they all love Dr. Rako and the kind staff. The Dr is very thorough. Her love for animals is undeniable and my pets sense this warmth. My cat, Coraline, literally snuggles into her, even after her shots. I could go on and on about this hospital. Simply put, this is the best vet in town! Oh, and I LOVE Walter the veiled chameleon in the lobby 💚Here’s pictures of all my cuddly babies (they all adore one another) one of Dr Rako with Coraline and portraits I drew of my 3 doggies.

The staff at Stiern’s Vet is amazing! Everyone is so nice and caring. My dog had an ear infection and their next available appointment was in 3 weeks! Then they called and could work me in three days, but they kept an eye out and when they had a cancellation that same morning they called and saw my sick baby the same day! And the Vet Tech and Dr. Paulden were wonderful with Bandit and he’s on the road to recovery.

Have taken all my dogs to Stierns Veterinary Hospital for the past 30/35 years for their care and was always treated with respect for both myself and my fur babies. So thank you Stierns for a job well done.

As always, Dr. Bollier and his staff were fantastic. My Old English Sheepdog is extremely stressed by vet visits and they are all amazingly patient and professional. We feel lucky to have access to such high quality services!

I'm not a fan of vet hospitals in general for many reasons. So I try to stay away from vets as myas possible by giving my pets the best care possible. But there are those times that you have to come in to get checked. Although it's so hard to get an appointment close enough from the time you call, they do offer an additional convenience by allowing you to scheduling online. And I've only had good experiences here. And I like that it's so close to home.

I drive all the way from tehachapi to see them for anything my pets need. Their prices are great & everyone is very nice. They can usually get us in in a timely manner depending on what we need, which i absolutely love. I even buy different types of medicine from them online.

Dr. Rose Rakow is such a caring Veterinarian. She has treated my male 'ginger' cat🐈, Helios, for the last week; three separate drop off days. Tonight he ate almost a full can of cat food. We are so excited about his progress under her tutelage. Thank you Dr. 🌹. ❤️🐈

I was happy that Dr Rakow could see my dog. She is excellent and took very good care of my Inky who passed away at 15 years in 2018. I want her to take care of my last little dog who is 13 and has heart issues. I know he will be in good hands with Dr Rakow. At this point Stiern Vet is keeping Covid precautions in place even though CA has opened up. I would have preferred a face to face meeting with Dr Rakow, but for now pet owners wait in their cars while the vet examines the patient. Then the vet calls you on your cell phone to give treatment recommendations. It works out ok for now, but if my pet were sick as opposed to a routine exam, it would be better to be in the exam room with my dog. Stiern is expensive for procedures like dental cleanings, but when you have an older pet with health issues, Dr Rakow is highly recommended!05/03/24Dr Pauldon has been caring for my 16 yr old Havanese since he started coughing. She is very kind and knowledgeable. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you Stiern Vet! I am glad you are there for us.

I have been bringing my pets here for years now. This past year we had to put our Princess Coco down and it was the hardest thing for our family to do. The office staff was so empathetic and compassionate with my entire family. Dr. Paulden walked us through every step and they gave up all the time we needed. She is very knowledgeable and patient with all my pets. Especially with my over-hyper Germany sherperd.

We had to make the horrible choice of letting our lovey, former fleabag stray Rocco go. The compassion, kindness and understanding the doctor/staff provided us was exemplary. It’s never easy saying goodbye, but Stiern Vet made us feel like we were making the right decision. Thank you.

Very kind and great communication.I wish the Dr. Was single😊 her and all the girls there are awesome and have a very peaceful way about them. They are up to date and very resourceful. They have great doggie and kitty treats when you walk in. Stiern Veterinary explains everything to you step-by-step.

They always go out of their way to help me understand my dog’s health! Just a tip, vets basically anywhere can be super expensive so it’s best to get pet insurance. The vets here have helped drastically with my baby’s severe seasonal allergies, & he seems to be thriving now & always explain & offer more than what you initially go there for, but at the same time aren’t pushy. They also made me aware that my dog has behavioral issues that I personally never noticed, and provided me with so many resources to resolve the issue.

It feels like there is so much going on, so much activity, but, the staff knows exactly how to manage their clients. The professionalism; caring, and very patient with everyone. Incredibly expedient and efficient with everything I have observed. What an outstanding team they are! So grateful for how they take care of us, our babies, and all the others who walk through those doors. Thank you very much…🤗

The staff is always professional, the service is excellent and the girls up front are always so sweet with my animals. Dr Rakow is attentive to my dogs & so knowledgeable in her field! The office manager, Tara, is always so good to everyone who comes in and makes sure that everything my dogs need is taken care of. Honestly, they are the reason I continue to bring my animals to this office instead of any other in town!

Stiern Veterinary Hospital provides kindness and expertise that keeps our canines healthy. We appreciate being able to drop them off in the early morning, have a phone conversation with Dr Rakow to determine a plan of care and pick up our much loved pets in the afternoon.
