Overview

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of veterinary medicine along with friendly, compassionate service

Santa Ynez Pet Hospital was built in 1983 by Dr. Bob Dean, and has been a pillar of our cozy valley for over 40 years. He created a legacy of phenomenal patient care and a family oriented workplace. In early 2023, Dr. Dean wanted to secure the future and core values of SYPH as a family-owned hospital, so he chose to sell the practice to a local veterinarian, father, and husband, Dr. Neshan Sarkisian
