dr. matthu, madeleine, lisa, david, and cassidy have all been amaaazing the past 10 years-- keeping my kitty, dharma, purring well into her senior citizenry (she's almost 17), and the 10 year old lab, mowgli, full of energy cuddles, and continence. but, over the past few months and a couple saturday appointments, the fur children have added the elusive, yet incredible, dr. fosbender to their list of favorite humans. i've added her to MY list, too.

This is a vet hospital with a heart, truly. They understand that emergencies happen, mistakes happen, and not everyone has the means to cover it all. They care about what matters: your sweet furry family members. :) Thanks to Dr Fosbender and her staff for the great work you do

I live in SF and get out of my way to see the University Vet Clinic for my dogs because no one in SF measures up.

Dr. Mattu is my favorite vet that we've had over the years. Dr. Mattu and the entire staff are very calm and caring and great at communicating what is going on and exploring options.

Dr. Mattu is amazing. Our dog Cookie is like putty in his hands when she sees him, and that is a miracle considering she does not like very many people and can be quite snippy...

Dr. Mattu is fantastic! ... Dr. Mattu will make sure to answer all of your questions. He takes his time and listens to what you're saying. He will recognize what is really bothering us even if we don't come out and say it, then address it with tact and professionalism.

...Dr. Mattu and his team were wonderful. They got kitty in for a visit immediately. Everyone at the hospital was kind and helpful. Dr. Mattu was straight forward and worked with us to proceed with tests and treatment that worked in our budget... I think that it is quite likely that our kitty would not be alive and healthy today had we chosen a different vet.

I finally found a vet that I love and am sadly moving. Both Dr. Mattu and his staff were kind, caring and set both me and my dog at ease. I took my 6 year old long haired chihuahua in due to a bald patch I noticed on her chest. Dr. Mattu did a thorough examination and told me about a loose kneecap that she has that no other vet ever found.

My new BF, Wally, went for his first wellness visit. Vet tech, Kelly, greeting Wally lovingly and swept us into the exam room. She was very kind and gentle to my 11 week old, who was very nervous. Dr. Mattu came in and let Wally kiss him all over this face!

I just want to say THANK YOU to Dr. Mattu and everyone else at University Veterinary Hospital. From the first day I adopted my baby Ninja to now, a year later, you have all gone above and beyond for us. Even after moving from Berkeley (and not having a car), it is worth it for us to take the hour long multiple bus ride to see you. Thank you for providing amazing care, and for the peace of mind knowing we found a vet that we can truly trust.
Sofia M. Wrote (on Yelp)
I actually found out about this place through Yelp and I'm so happy I did! Because I'm not from around here, I was very nervous about finding a high quality vet that doesn't charge and arm and a leg for any little thing. The assistants and Dr. Mattu are very caring toward the animals that get brought in and the prices are extremely reasonable. This should be your go-to pet hospital for sure!

Thanks to the dedicated attention from Dr. Mattu and the team, Lola's health has improved and she has recovered. I am now the lucky mom of a 15+ year old cat, who is enjoying the quality of life that all animals deserve. She is back to being the playful and loving cat that I have enjoyed for many years.
Everyone at UVH treated Lola with love and consideration. It is obvious that the UVH team is highly skilled, but most importantly, they calm both the patient and the parent. Most of us arrive with a sick animal, and just want to cry for the pain they suffer. I will never forget how my heart is at peace because I have this wonderful team to help me make sure Lola's last years are happy and healthy. I am very happy and most grateful to Dr. Mattu and UVH team, Tasha, Lisa, Tiffany, Cassidy and David. I am also most impressed with the follow up calls I received from Dr. Mattu, Tasha, and Lisa. The team is just EXCEPTIONAL!
What I like most about my recent trip, and all my other trips, is the legitimate concern that is shown for the animal's health and comfort. Everyone always treats Lola with love... and that goes for Lola's family too! We truly appreciate the valuable service and care. Thank you to all the UVH team and Dr. Mattu!

Dr. Mattu takes great care of my cat - he's kind & gentle with him. its a small hospital but i feel that the staff are very caring. they are good at keeping me updated by sending me info via mail & email. they offer lots of discounts seasonally, which helps my pocket.
i will continue to use UVH since i have had a terrible experience with another vet in Oakland (i cant quite remember the name but will update my review once i do). my cat responds well to UVH ~ thats all that matters to me =)

I am probably one of the more fearful pet owners out there; scared that someone is going to hurt "my girl", or advance services she does not need, but this has never happened. She has all her shots here and had her spay, no problems; they listened and maintained all my instructions.
After an accident, instead of taking advantage of me in a scary time, they gave her a good once over and sent me out the door with the most minimal treatment. Prepared to pay up, but was relieved and won by the honesty and integrity. The doctor gave us a call the next few days to check up and that made us all feel appreciative and happy; they even remember my girl's name when I go in to pick stuff up without her.
They are a great team and they have a clean and welcoming space with fair cost. We have been clients for about one year and every time we have made an appearance to the vet absolutely everyone there has been kind and helpful.

Sure enough, the technician came in and kitty put on quite a show. She was too intimidated to even touch him, but told me that Dr. Mattu had a way with animals and would do much better. I had my doubts.
Enter Dr. Mattu. I swear a white light filled the room. I don't know where this man learned his magic, but he was able to listen to my cat's heart and check his teeth with almost no trouble whatsoever. When he actually managed to look inside his ear with his little instrument, I was astonished. Even more noteworthy was the way he did all of this in such a gentle and loving way, never for a moment giving the impression that he felt that I had a bad or difficult kitty. At the end of our visit, I was presented with a typed note from Dr. Mattu with instructions regarding my cat's care and health concerns. It began "Pablo was gracious to let me work with him today. I am very grateful."
The one who is grateful is me. I have had vets who have been kind and competent before, but this experience was truly special.

So, today was the procedure day, and everything went perfect. The staff is nice, Dr.Mattu was totally sympathetic not only to my child, but to me as well (as were the techs), and they even have their own office cat, George! It wasn't cheap, but then again, nothing ever healthcare-wise is!
I totally recommend this vet! It's also at an easy-to-get-to location, which is nice!

After that, we changed to University Vet. I've seen the other Yelp reviews and what people say about the pricing. University Vet's prices are comparable to other vets.
Lastly, the past month our dog became very ill. Dr. Mattu and his staff have been compassionate, kind, helpful, and responsive. We ended up taking our dog to UC Davis Veterinary Hospital for additional tests. UC Davis vets told us that Dr. Mattu's records were excellent - clear, well-organized, and helpful.
Dr. Mattu and his staff did an exceptional job taking care of our dog, and they were always compassionate, friendly, and helpful with us. They always knew who we were and who are dog was when we called. We highly recommend them and will use University Veterinary Hospital when we get another dog in the future.

This review is way way overdue, so please forgive me for not writing sooner. Thank you on behalf of my Dog Mrss. J. Brown M.D WHO ALSO LOVES YOU TO DEATH. Thank you on behalf of my previous dog Bucky Buckaroo (resting in peace). Thank you for being such a kind, curtious and caring doctor to my pets and a wonderful and helpful person to me.
I will never forget how kind you were to my dog and the day you put Bucky down I saw tears in your eyes cause you are simply the most honorable vet I've ever been too. My dog is totally in love with you and I keep on telling her "stop it girl, he's married!!!!!!!!" I even told her that "his wife has a gun" but, she still wont stop. Oh well that's what you get for giving her all the attention in the world.
Thank you for hiring all these wonderful and amazing people like Lisa,(the incredible and amazing Lisa), Tasha, David, Eric etc....etc.... they are all so amazing.
Thank you for all the wonderful dental work you've given my dog, her teeth look great, she's already lining up her weekend date with a neighbor dog.Too bad I can't get my dental work at your clinic it sure would be cheaper than half the human dentists out there.
Last but not least, thank you for being so generous with your time whenever I come in with my dog or whenever I send you my friends. Every single one of them leaves you office incredibly impressed with your knowledge and service.
Dr Mattu, I dread the day you might hit the Jackpot and then you'll probably buy a house on the hill in Bombay and I really don't know where will I take my dog to get her teeth cleaned for the next boyfriend. Oh my god, what will I do when she's an old fart? where will I get her botox??????????????????
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much you are an ANGEL

I've seen many Vets and vet facilities as we've lived around the state and country. Some more high tech, some that specialize in surgery or other things, and it sometimes feels like when you go there every problem looks like a "nail" and whatever their specialty - the right "hammer". Not so at University Veterinary Hospital. They have the emergency diagnostic tools to get answers "right now" when time really counts, but this is truly a Family Practice, so your bill isn't loaded with the high overhead costs of, for example, a surgical specialty Veterinary Practice. I've never said vet bills were cheap, but my experiences at University Veterinary Hospital have been open, honest, and I've always felt comfortable with their explanation of what things will cost BEFORE they were performed. I've also felt comfortable being able to omit items or delay recommended procedures.
Lastly, I can't be more pleased with the compassion and understanding I feel when my pets are in need of help at UVH. Dr. Matu and the entire staff are animal lovers who understand the bonds we all have with our pets. They understand and feel our pain, and share the weight of our toughest decisions, while still reveling in the joys only animal lovers can share.

Dr. Mattu also demonstrates great care to his clients and patients. He always recommends the best care and preventative measures to minimize health issues for the animals. Dr. Mattu truly cares about the satisfaction of his clients. Problems and complaints are always brought up during staff meetings, and the whole UVH staff have constantly thought of new ways to best serve their clients.
I highly recommend people who are looking for good vet care to come to this clinic. Not only are the prices here the best in the area, the people here really do care. I know many people feel that the clinic recommends too much, but everything recommended does serve a purpose. The plans that the technicians present are formatted to contain as much preventative care as your own doctor would provide you. I would also encourage clients to ask technicians about the purpose of each item. Finally, even on a very limited budget, the doctor and staff are willing to work with the client.
