We have 4 indoor cats that we absolutely adore and have been seeing Dr. Negrea since the previous vet sold the business. When we met him, we could tell immediately that he has a true love for animals and was very tender and caring toward our cats.
As cat owners for nearly 20 years, we can absolutely state that Dr. Negrea is hands down the most caring, friendly and pleasant person we have had tending to our cats. His office staff are exceptional and they really enhance his ability to provide care.
This is a man who really cares and loves animals and it shows in how he conducts himself at all of our visits. We trust the doctor and his advice. He is pragmatic, friendly and really considers the best for the fuzzy patient, while giving you all of the options to make the best choice.
We would highly recommend him to anyone who has animals that they love as he will care for them in the way that you would want and he is someone who truly has a passion and love for all of his pat

I would like to strongly recommend Dr. Victor Negrea and his staff at Beacon Pet Hospital in Sidney. Doctor Victor is a skilled, knowledgeable and innovative clinician, dedicated to his profession. But more than that, he treats his furring patients with such tenderness and dignity and his clients with respect and compassion. He strives to equip his hospital with state of the art equipment. His computerized record keeping allows his to give his clients a detailed explanation of your pet’s condition and the treatment plan. His explanations are meticulous but easily understood. For a more detailed testimonial please go to Yelp. Carol Bird Note I believe Dr. Negrea acquired the hospital in September 2016.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr.Negrea and team. Always treated my cat as if it was their own, always respectful and informative towards me. I would recommend Dr.Negrea to anyone looking for a new vet for their kitty.

We had used this clinic for our previous cat so we continued with our new cat. General check ups and care was good. The dental work that was done was a very bad experience for us and our kitty. Another vet repaired the damage and we will never go back to Beacon Cat Hospital. I could not recommend this vet.

Outstanding care from a very kind team. We are nothing but pleased with the treatments and reasonable costs of care here at Beacon Cat Hospital.

I went in there to get some information about moving my cat over to prescription food, and whilst I was talking to the receptionist she had to go to the back of the clinic and ask Dr Guttormson a question. As the door opened I could hear and see Dr Guttormson shouting and using extremely foul language! I was very shocked to hear this sort of language coming from a professional person, and what is supposed to be a professional business. I am not a prude but there is a time and a place for this sort of language and a cat hospital during business hours is certainly not what I would count as one of them! I walked out of there disgusted that this sort of language could be used in an environment where members of the public and customers are within hearing distance. I do pity the staff if this is what they have to listen to all day. I know I couldn't!

I find them disrespectful and rude. Not all friendly and they try to every chance to take more money from you! I changed vets and don't regret it one bit.

BCH helped us with the last four years of life of an elderly cat who chose to settle with us and had not had vet care in the past. She finally died of cancer and was helped on her way by Dr. Ellen, who made a home visit and handled the situation with enormous sensitivity and gentleness. We swear by BCH!!!

Reply to the comment below. Dr. Ellen Guttormson does not "push yearly shots" for indoor cats. The vaccination for each cat is recommended depending on the individual circumstances of each cat. It is usual that a totally indoor cat, which does not go out on a balcony, does not board, or has no contact with other animals that go outside has vaccination only every 2nd or 3rd year. This also varies with the age of the cat. Rabies vaccination is recommeded for indoor cats as Beacon Cat Hospital had a situation a few years ago whereby an old cat that had moved from Vancouver and was indoor only came into contact inside the house with a bat which tested positive for Rabies at the federal lab. Luckily this cat had always had vaccination for Rabies before moving to Victoria.

I am happy with this clinic and take my cat here. However, they do still try to push yearly shots when the recommendation for indoor cats is three year intervals, and tried to have us bring her in for a teeth cleaning. The estimate? "Starts at $500" and goes up from there. Uh. No.
