It was an emergency and they were willing to take her in and treat her urgently without an appointment and despite having a very busy day. Dr. Slaton saw her right away and was honest with us about her condition at this point and recommended what was best. We decided to try hospitalization for the day and see if she would improve. It was a relief knowing she was finally receiving proper care. They treated her as best as they could and administered medications other hospitals we took her to all the days prior didn't bother offering. She unfortunately did not respond to the medications, she was already so ill. We brought her back first thing in the morning. Dr Slaton and his team made her last moments on earth peaceful for all of us. I am grateful to now know about this practice and will be bringing my future pets to see Dr. Slaton. I wish I had brought her to see him a week sooner (and not the other places I took her to.) I know things would have ended differently. -Thank you for taking such good care of our Pepper girl

I wish I could give this business zero stars…read more My experience with Dr. Jamshid Kiumarsi at Townsgate Pet Hospital was extremely disappointing. I took my 15-year, 8-month-old dog "Champ" to the clinic for a rabies antibody (titer) test required for international travel. Dr. Kiumarsi knew my dog's age and medical history, yet no one explained that, because of his advanced age, there was a possibility his antibody level might be too low to pass the test or discussed giving him a rabies booster before performing the expensive titer test. I paid nearly $600 for the test, and the result came back negative. Only afterward was I told to bring my dog back for a rabies booster, wait another month, and then pay for a second titer test. This delayed my travel plans to Turkey by almost four weeks and increased my expenses. My frustration is not that the test was negative--it is that I was never informed beforehand about the risk of a failed result or the option of administering a booster first. Had I been given that information, I could have made an informed decision and potentially avoided unnecessary cost and delay. I expected honest guidance and recommendations that considered both my dog's wellbeing and my time and financial investment. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at Townsgate Pet Hospital.

It's the best of both worlds because he comprehends the western and practices and treats with eastern medicine. My dog Ace was first diagnosed by his vet that he had been seeing for his first 10 years, since I adopted him at 3 months old. His health was great, no hiccups, only one small foxtail in the ear problem. Until his 15 yr old black lab cousin, Bella Dioji passed due to old age and then less than 8 months later, his Corgi/Chow sister passed due to stomach cancer. He had what we thought was a seizure after Bella's passing. Took him to the vet and they said, it was isolated so we just have to keep an eye on it. He then had one on the day we were to take Poochie in to put her to sleep. So we took him in to the vet, they ran bloodwork but didn't really think much of it and said they wanted to continue to watch him. Then he had on the next day and the next. Finally, after taking him in one last time, they suggested I take Ace to a neurologist. We had been seeing Dr. Bittan for Poochie's stomach cancer and decided to bring Ace in as well. He assessed him and asked that we see the neurologist as the other vet had recommended as well. Dr. Bittan directed us to the VCA Specialty Hospital in West Los Angeles. I made an appointment, took him in, they assessed him and immediately, the Neurologist said, she can't help him yet, he has a heart issue. 5 mins later, the Cardiologist came in and from there, it was a rollercoaster. They stabilized his condition then the syncopate episodes (which we originally thought were seizures) started happening again. Long story short, Ace had heart surgery, he did great for a week, then his kidneys began to fail due to the western medicine meds he needed to be on. A few days later, he was lethargic, ok, beyond, he was just laying on the floor, almost lifeless. He wasn't urinating or pooping and I decided to leave him overnight on an IV to see if he could flush the toxins out. Dr. Bittan had finally gotten the test results of the surgery and bloodwork and immediately had Max (his awesome assistant) call to tell me to bring him in. I was on the phone calling different places trying to find a vet that would put him to sleep at the beach, his favorite place. Dr. Bittan looked at him, studied his charts and asked me to commit 5 days to him to try to help Ace. I struggled with my decision, Ace was not Ace at the moment and I didn't want him to suffer. I decided to do let Dr. Bittan have his go at it. He gave Ace a shot, and about 8 different drops to give him every hour on the hour that night. I had to go to the post office so my roommate gave Ace is first dose in the car. By this time it had been at least 48 hours since he had pee'd. We arrived home an hour later and I had my roommate put him on the grass to see if he might want to try. He wobbled a bit, he was week, he hadn't been eating as well. Lo and behold, the little boy pee'd, he pee'd for what seemed to be a whole minute! That was the sign that he was fighting and he was going to be ok. Here I am now, writing this review, almost 7 months later, and the boy is alive and kicking AND happy. Our western medicine and eastern medicine docs communicate and work together to keep my boy as healthy as he can be. He has a couple of very serious conditions that have to be address from time to time but the combination of eastern and western meds have been phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bittan, you won't be sorry.

The space is very clean and comfortable, with calming sounds and enough space in the rooms. The staff is very professional and compassionate and responsive. The first time we went we saw Dr. Kohltfarber. He was very kind and explained what was going on in clear language, and answered all of our questions about how to care for our dog after leaving. The most recent time we went we saw Dr. Ferdowsian. She had to share some scary news with us but was so professional and down to earth that, even though I did feel a bit panicked, I was able to ask all of the questions I needed to and I left feeling hopeful about our dog's plan of care. She also contacted us after our visit to check in and was very compassionate and attentive with all of our concerns. Because of her quick findings at our most recent visit, we were able to get our dog scheduled for surgery at a specialty center that same week to have the issue resolved. Now our dog's quality of life is back to normal, and we couldn't be happier. They are also very clear about costs, including explaining all of our options for diagnostics and treatment. We felt their costs were fair too. We never felt confused or lost, even when we brought our dog in for a more complex problem. If your pet has an emergency I would absolutely recommend them.

No one wants to go to a veterinary urgent care…read more Overall, we had a good experience here. Our boy Atticus was having problems urinating. The staff at Oaks Veterinary were very kind to us and sat us in a semiprivate room up front while Dr. Jimenez did some tests on our kitten (he's 12, but he'll always be our kitten). The diagnosis was Feline Idiopathic Cystitis and we were sent home with a variety of medicines, some cans of prescription urinary care food, and orders to follow up with our primary vet in about a week for more tests. Everything was pretty pricey at $1700, so I appreciated that they gave us the cans of food for free (which our primary vet didn't do when we eventually followed up). They also sent the records over to our primary vet, which I appreciated. I had to follow up with the office staff about getting copies of the records for myself and, when I reached out with concern about how long it should be taking Atticus to recover, it took about 5 days to get back to me. Those are the only reasons it's not 5 stars. Lots of parking and food places nearby if you need to wait.
