What makes SAGE Veterinary Centers - Redwood City stand out

Pet owners turn to SAGE when facing serious diagnoses that threaten their animal's quality or length of life. The surgical and specialty teams deliver outcomes that give pets meaningful, comfortable extra time.
“They had extended one of our dogs life for 2 more years. She was living these her last 2 years as if nothing was wrong with her.”

The little things that matter
Beyond expectations
Follow-Up Calls After Visits
Vets take the time to personally call clients after their pet's visit to check in on recovery and wellbeing — a small gesture that reassures owners their pet is still being looked after even after they've left the building.
After-Hours Availability
When test results raise a concern, the team proactively offers to reach out after hours rather than leaving owners to wait anxiously until the next business day.
Post-Visit Appointment Recaps
Clients receive a written summary of their visit the following day, giving them a clear record of what was discussed and decided — removing any uncertainty about next steps.
Pre-Consultation Preparation
A vet assistant gathers detailed information before the vet even enters the room, so the doctor arrives fully briefed and ready with an action plan — saving time and signalling that every detail matters.
Transparent Fee Communication
Staff clearly explain cost differences between service levels — such as urgent care versus emergency room pricing — so owners can make informed decisions without feeling blindsided.
Quick Advice Between Visits
Clients can call for guidance on day-to-day concerns and receive prompt, accurate advice — extending the care relationship well beyond the formal appointment.
A Welcoming Environment for Pets
The clinic atmosphere is calm and reassuring enough that pets actually enjoy coming in — a meaningful detail for any owner who knows how stressful a vet visit can be for an anxious animal.
Long-Term Relationship Building
The team invests in understanding each pet's history over time, enabling continuity of care that allows them to manage ongoing conditions with genuine familiarity rather than starting from scratch at every visit.
Tips for your first visit
Make the most of your visit
Expect a structured intake process
A vet assistant will gather all your pet's information before you see the doctor, so come prepared with a clear summary of your pet's symptoms and history.
ER is a viable Sunday option
If urgent care slots are full on weekends, the ER is available with a modest fee difference and typically about an hour's wait.
Ask about after-hours follow-up
Vets here have been known to proactively offer after-hours contact and next-morning check-in calls, so don't hesitate to ask about follow-up communication.
Expect a recap after your visit
The day after your appointment you'll receive a written summary, so keep an eye on your email and use it as a reference for your pet's care.
Request treatment options upfront
Doctors here are known to explain likely diagnoses and walk through multiple treatment options, so feel free to ask questions until you fully understand the plan.
Plan for specialty surgical care
SAGE has dedicated surgeons for complex procedures, so if your pet needs surgery, you can ask to be matched with a specialist rather than a general practitioner.
