Dr Polo is the one of the best veterinarians I've ever had the pleasure of visiting! He's kind, attentive, instinctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took a lot of time to listen to my concerns and make my dog feel comfortable during my visit.

I love this vet office! I switched almost 2 years ago and I've been very satisfied. Their veterinarians are knowledgeable and listen to client's questions and concerns when dealing with a patient for any reason. They are great and treat every animal and their owners like family. Highly recommend them!

The team at Black Mountain are true animal lovers! They are super professional and continually give us the “you’re family” experience. Their doctors are amazing and have treated several of my family and friend’s dogs over the years. I’m constantly referring friends to them. Would totally recommend coming here!

Such a great experience overall. Their whole team is very kind and reassuring and takes the stress out of the process of taking your pet to the vet. The technicians were transparent with treatment costs and pricing is fair given the area. Definitely recommend Black Mountain if you are looking for a new vet!

Dr. Purificacion was born the Philippines, where her dream of becoming a veterinarian was kindled by raising a Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso duo at home. Her love for animals led her to completion of her veterinary medicine degree at the De La Salle Araneta University Philippines, and clinical clerkship at the Louisiana State University.
Dr. Ertola grew up in San Francisco, where she spent her childhood engaging in activities centered around animals. She volunteered to help socialize shelter cats, worked at a summer camp with the SCPA Hearing Dogs program, and took horseback riding lessons with her cowboy grandpa.
