I'd Never Take My Cats Anywhere Else
by AidaMay at Citysearch
We've been taking our cats to Bastet for years and now that we've been newly adopted by a stray, little Charlie has become the newest patient. Everyone there, from the staff, to the office cats to Dr. Sam himself are warm, caring and careful with our cat-kids. We understand it takes a special person to treat cats and we'd never take our cats anywhere else. Dr. Sam will also take the time to carefully explain diagnosis/prognosis/treatment and will offer alternatives so everyone is comfortable financially, physically and emotionally. We have no hesitation in refering Bastet to friends and/or anyone that's looking for a primo cat vet.
- Pros: Primo Cat Care

Excellent Cat Care

Bastet cat hospital has been around for a long time, in our experience they treat their patients with love and care, they are also very kind to the cat owners. They explain to you what is needed to keep your cats healthy; the doctor always explains to you what is wrong. What you can do to prevent cat problems and recommends different options of treatments. Many times Dr. Basilious will say the cat looks good you do not need that test now, come back in 6 months? The staff knows you by name; they know which food your cat is eating. Some people posted reviews on-line accusing Bastet of being expensive but they never explained the condition. If you go to the hospital for yourself and they tell you, you have kidney failure (like in Cats) and you have to be treated you usually never accuse them being expensive. I do not think that Bastet is expensive because you need to weigh the value of the care, also, you are going to a cats only facility that their cost of the facility may be slightly higher than if you go to Small Animals or All Creatures Hospital. Bastet office exam has been $ 55.00 that is comparable with many vets in the area. I am sure that there are many people are happy with Bastet. You make your choice to go see a doctor who will spend the time with you or go to HMO that is going to treat you as a number (in and out), you do not even know what is wrong with you, and you believe that you are getting care for cheap. Honey let me tell you, Cheap is very expensive and expensive is usually price for a value that translate into better quality.
- Pros: Great Quality, Wish my Dr. Treated me same way like my cat
- Cons: You have to read and sign an estimate

Great place for your cats health checks

I found Bastet about a year ago when one of my 17 year old cats suddenly lost a tremendous amount of weight and his prior doctor dismissed it as him getting old. Dr Basilious did a much more thorough examination and treated my little guy with much more respect. Unfortunately he was sick with aggressive cancer and it was too late to save him, which ended up being the worst day of my life. I am however sure that if I would have found Bastet earlier that he would have had a better chance. I later on brought in his twin brother for a checkup and he was diagnosed with CRF. Dr Basilious recommended special diets and daily medication which have extended my babies life and well being. He’s running around happy and his symptoms have not gone worse. He initially had a hard time getting used to the new diet and the Bastet staff helped me find something that works. Both my babies and I have always been treated with respect and I feel very comfortable visiting Bastet hospital. Prices are a bit high especially during these times but at the same time you get the proper medical care and that is more important than anything. So I am giving a high recommendation.
- Pros: Thorough exams and care
- Cons: A bit pricey
