Aptos-Creekside Pet Hospital, resulting from the 2008 merger of Aptos Animal Hospital and Creekside Veterinary Hospital, provides full medical, surgical, and dental care, as well as spay and neuter services and routine vaccinations, for your beloved companion animal. We now offer services for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and exotics.

Veterinarians Naomi Kirschenbaum, Sarah Hawklyn, George Hall, Hilary Stern, and their professional staff bring many years of experience to Aptos-Creekside Pet Hospital as they offer caring veterinary treatment for your pets.  We craft individualized vaccination protocols for each patient using the most current medical information and recommendations. From pet dental health care to emergency small-animal surgery, Aptos-Creekside Pet Hospital is here to serve you and your cherished pet.

Aptos-Creekside Pet Hospital also offers vacation boarding for your pets – where our attentive, well-trained staff will look after your companion family member as if it were our own. Dr. Kirschenbaum even boards her own dogs at the clinic when she’s traveling!

Our merger with Creekside Veterinary Hospital allows us to now offer specialized care for rabbits (aka “lagomorphs”), birds and other exotic pets. The added staff also means that we will be open Saturdays for routine pet care as well as pet emergencies. 

Should you have an off-hours emergency with your pet, we excel at co-coordinating detailed follow up care with the local emergency vet clinics in Santa Cruz County, so your pet’s care remains comprehensive, and your veterinary records remain complete.

We are conveniently located just off of Hwy 1 at the Freedom Blvd. exit. The clinic has easy freeway access with a quiet parking lot – making loading and unloading your pet for its veterinary care as stress-free as possible. Visit our Directions page for maps and directions.
