I read all the reviews and seen 2 or 3 videos on Vet Playas. Some saying Dr. Fimbres didn't speak any english nor did Vet Playas have modern technology to help your pet. I have to say Dr. Fimbres does speak english and gave me a tour of his office. He does have the modern equipment to assist your pets needs. Ron Richards and Dr. Fimbres office went out
of their way to help my dog, and help me and Charlie feel comfortable while we were in Tijuana. I will go back for future veterinary needs. Thank you Vet Playas for your taking care of Charlie.
I agree with the above review. Dr. Fimbres does speak English and they do have Emergency and Critical Care. It is clear the negative review is someone or a company in the States what does not want people crossing the border for medical services at half the cost.
The prices in San Diego are out of control and most people just can't afford the high cost of Veterinary Care.
Great Job Vet Playas Veterinary Clinic for your Emergency Care.
Ronald Richards, the owner of Vet Playas, claims he only speaks English, and Dr. Fimbres claims he only speaks Spanish, yet their website shows a photo, where it states English is spoken. Ron works out of his home. Dr. Fimbres does not speak English, and Vet Playas does not have a translator, which makes this statement misleading. You don’t want to be stuck with a language barrier during an emergency with your pet.
Ron Richards brags about his clinic being better than all of the other clinics in Tijuana, Mexico because he’s an American who looks down on Mexicans and tries to sell his clinic as superior, when in my opinion, it’s inferior to the excellent clinics in Tijuana, and when Ron thinks no one can hear him, he calls his staff “a bunch of idiots” behind their backs.
Tijuana has a few excellent competent Mexican Veterinarians with state of the art Vet Clinics, Vet Playas isn’t one of them.
However, Tijuana does NOT HAVE ANY RELIABLE AFTER HOURS EMERGENCY VET CLINICS. And U.S. Customs forbids an animal who is not healthy to enter the U.S. from Mexico, so you will have no options in attempting to save your pets life once in Mexico.
We go to Veterinarians and their Clinics to save our pet’s life, and to get them the best care possible. We love our pets, and we want to protect them from harm. Vet Playas cannot be trusted to care for your pet.
I am writing this review to warn anyone who loves their pet to stay away from Vet Playas. Mr. Ronald Richards and his incompetent staff cannot be trusted. Mr. Richards is very nice and dishonest when trying to lure you in. However, once your pet is at Vet Playas, your pet will not receive “THE BEST CARE” as their website falsely claims.
Their Ultrasound machine was not working. Their xray machine failed to take clear enough images to detect what the actual problem was. They were not even able to find anyone to do this for them, as all competent ER Vet Clinics would have.
This so called emergency Vet clinic is antiquated and incapable of providing quality, professional and reliable, critical care. Vet Playas is not properly set up for emergencies. Vet Playas could not even have the imaging and results available to be taken to another Vet during an emergency, due to their ineptitude.
They have poor customer service. A rude self centered staff when things go wrong, due to their negligence and dishonesty.
Mr. Richards is unable to be accountable for his mistakes and actions, and chooses to blame everyone outside his clinic, but himself and his staff, for problems he himself and his staff caused.
Taking your pet to Vet Playas is INHUMMANE. Do you really want your pet to suffer at a clinic that will not only not be able to save your pet’s life during an emergency, but will prolong it’s suffering, because they don’t know what they are doing, and don’t have the proper equipment to diagnose your sick pet? If Vet Playas was honest, they would immediately take down all of the false statements that are currently on their various websites, and inform anyone who makes an appointment with them, that they do not have an operational ultrasound machine.
