I had to write another review for Dr. Fab because she truly is an extraordinary veterinarian…read more When I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my beloved Marley, there was no other doctor I would have trusted more to help us through that moment. Dr. Fab is one of the most compassionate and caring veterinarians I have ever met. It is obvious that she genuinely loves every animal she treats, and that love shines through in everything she does. She treated both Marley and me with incredible kindness, patience, and empathy during one of the hardest days of my life. She made an unimaginably painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be, and for that I will be forever grateful. If you are looking for a veterinarian who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply compassionate, I cannot recommend Dr. Fab highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Fab, for loving my sweet Marley and for helping her cross the rainbow bridge with such dignity, gentleness, and grace. I will never forget your kindness.

Here is my incredibly honest review: Dr. Lopez, Dr. Rosso, and Dr. Fab are all AMAZING. Each of them has made us feel genuinely seen, whether we're in for a routine check-up or something worrying. They take real time during visits to make sure we're heard, and they work to get to the root of an issue without jumping to worst-case scenarios. I'll have a really hard time if we ever have to move and leave this practice. A special thank you to Dr. Rosso, who recently got to the bottom of an issue with one of our cats and had her feeling better right away -- we're so grateful.

Note: This review is for DENTAL services only…read more My vet doesn't perform dental services, so we brought our kitty in to Healing Touch for a teeth cleaning. We chose them due to proximity, reviews, and the no anesthesia approach. We were happy with the service, and will definitely use them again in the future. The only reason one star was docked off the review is the lack of evening or weekend availability for dental service. (My husband had to work around his work schedule to take our kitty in.)

Thank god i got out before i spent any more money. My Sammie has cushings and in result of that she developed arthritis and has no use of her back legs. I took her to see Dr. Audra and she reassured me that she is there to get my dog back to her same old self. I told her about other places that took my money and it was poor results. She told me that is not going to happen here. So i agreed to get my Sammie help, I am in desperate needs here and have no ideal why she is like this. Everything was fine my first consultation, then the first visit came. I made a appointment for acupuncture and i was late due to the fact that i own my own business and it is just my mom and i who run it. So, I had to call and make a later appointment which was fine, but then we get a rush later than we thought and i was not going to leave my mother to suffer. So, I stayed and after rushed home to get Sammie. Mind you that this was around rush hour and i live in van nuys. I called again and asked them if it was ok to still come and she said she would call me back. I then waited for the call and did not want to leave til i got the call and then 15 min later she said it was ok to come. Waiting for the call and traffic i ended up being half an hour late. When i got there the male doctor( i do not know his name) Dr Rude as hell is what we will call him, gave me this death look like i ruined his friday night. Like he had to get ready to ho out or something more important than doing his job. I apologized repeatedly and felt so bad that i was complementing on his glasses. i also gave an explanation of why i was late, but of course he was not having it. I was also asking him questions about how to get her better and asking questions about her not walking or getting up and what i could do about it. He just said straight out well if she cannot walk then she has to have surgery, knowing well enough i cannot afford that. He also decided to humiliate my dog, saying she has no muscles and how weak she is. this guy then picked her up and kissed her?? wtf!! I come to find out from his staff that he is always like that: just an angry man. So, i opted to only go to dr audra and everything was fine til they put toe grips on her nails. Her toe nail fell off during a walk and called them immediately then next business day. I took her in and they said that it was not the toe grips but the fact that she knuckles her paws when she walks. BS!! she has been knuckling her paws way before we came to see them and she never lost a toe nail. I didn't say anything and just let it go. They wrapped her up and charged me like 160. which i did not have. They need to own up to their mistakes and take the proper actions. I went in a week later to get her bandages off and wanted to ask questions on what my next step was. All i got was a technician and not a doctor. Asked for a recommendation on neurologist and the tech came back, not the doctor and told me they do not have one. Guess what it was the male dr who was there. Zi know this because i saw him as he was walking by my waiting room and gave me this dirty look. So i hqve q message for this doctor... Do not treat you customers like dirt or make them feel like that. Do your job, you get paid well, don't you? You do not want to see me again, i will tell you how it is. I am sorry to say this but you will get what you deserve. karma is a bitch.

At no point did we feel like we were an inconvenience, even though the staff stayed nearly three hours after closing to care for her. The entire team did an amazing job explaining the surgery, recovery process, and home care instructions. They answered all of our questions thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication gave us so much comfort during a very stressful situation. Thank you for going above and beyond to save my dog's life. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend this veterinary to anyone looking for exceptional care.

I would not recommend this place!…read more Before driving over, I called and specifically asked what the exam fee would be. I told them I was only about 15 minutes away and was coming straight in. I arrived exactly when I said I would, and the price had suddenly changed. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch. If your pricing changes at a certain time, tell the customer when they're on the phone and saying they are on the way, not after they've already arrived. When I questioned it, the manager was unprofessional and unwilling to honor the price their own staff had quoted me just minutes earlier over the phone. There was no accountability and no attempt to make the situation right. I can easily afford the difference, but that's not the point. I don't appreciate being misled. I told them I was deeply disappointed with how they handled the situation and that I would be leaving an honest review. They didn't seem to care at all. I genuinely feel bad for the owner if this is the level of customer service being provided. The worst part was that my dog was sitting there in pain while we argued over something that should have been simple.I left and went to another veterinary clinic down the street, where my dog was seen within minutes and received excellent care. If a business won't stand behind the price they quote over the phone, it's hard to trust them with anything more important. I imagine their final bill would have been ridiculous. Thankfully, I didn't stay long enough to find out. I won't be returning, and I hope this review saves someone else from wasting their time.

I went on Yelp and called several vets. The veterinarian with Gemcore is the only one who answered…read more I'm so sorry I can't even remember her name because everything happened so quickly and it's all such a blur, but she answered my call at almost 10:00 p.m. while she was driving, when no one else answered. The last thing you want when your fur baby is suffering is to reach voicemail after voicemail. Hearing a compassionate human voice on the other end of the phone brought me so much comfort. She came to my home first thing the next morning. I was worried about my younger Golden Retriever jumping on her or interfering with her care, but she was absolutely wonderful with both of my dogs. She encouraged him to stay in the room with us once he was comfortable with her, and I truly believe that helped him understand what was happening. She was incredibly professional, but I'll never forget one small moment. Out of the corner of my eye, while I was saying my final words and paying my last tributes to my girl, I saw her quietly wiping tears from her eyes. As a healthcare provider myself, I know how often we're expected to wear a mask and stay composed. Seeing that genuine emotion didn't make her seem less professional, it reassured me that she truly cared. In those final moments, your mind races. You question whether you're making the right decision. Seeing her emotion gave me peace because I knew she wasn't simply going through the motions. I knew that if she believed my girl wasn't ready, she would have told me. Most of us are fortunate enough to experience this kind of heartbreak only a few times in our lives. She carries families through it over and over again. That takes an incredible amount of compassion. Thank you for your kindness, your empathy, and for helping my sweet Lilo leave this world peacefully and with dignity. Please take care of yourself, too. The first photo is the day Oliver met Lilo as a puppy, their first photo together. The second was taken just before the veterinarian arrived to help Lilo pass. I didn't realize until later that I had unknowingly captured both the beginning and the end of their story together I will miss my Lilo for eternity.

My (third) senior pup and I are so looking forward to see Dr Gonzalez again this week for his 6…read moremonths preventative / well-being check up.. This is not my first review of our beloved Dr G, and I just recommended her to 6 more people again just these past 2 weeks. I always say to people I give her card to: "you will discover she is an Earth Angel - if she moved to a different town, I'd take my pup there... When you find a great vet, they are Gold! She's not only compassionate, present and knowledgeable, but also she does not oversell." Besides all the regular check ups, Dr G. has performed 2 substantial surgeries on my pup in the last 8 years, and has been extremely kind, providing valuable reassuring step-by-step updates throughout, especially aware that I had lost my beloved first dog, (with a different vet), when he did not make it through the anesthesia... In the 8 years Dr G. has been our one and only vet; everyone I have sent to Dr G. has fallen in love with her, and has thanked me for the referral. I trusted Dr G and her small compassionate team with the euthanasia of my precious second dog, Handsome. She is truly an Angel on Earth. At her Chatsworth location, I love that she's created a lovingly cozy "home environment" for the euthanasia experience. That it so needed during that deeply emotional time, and more veterinary offices ought to follow her example. I found her many years ago when I was dissatisfied with a busy veterinary front desk in Sherman Oaks, after they had made errors in my first dog's chart. Unfortunately he passed, and I learned that finding the RIGHT professional truly makes ALL the difference. So yes, I drive from Sherman Oaks. Gratefully so :) I am thankful that my cherished pups are her patients. Her ethics, her care, her kindness, her knowledge, her integrity - she's our number 1!!!

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm leaving this for a friend who lost her beloved senior dog…read more The care and attention we received by Hannah Ro at the front desk was wonderful. She is so sweet and was on top of getting us updates. Her client care is on point. I am thankful for someone like that during a time of grieving. I'm only knocking off a couple stars because there was a pair of other employees at the front desk, one had a badge and was in business casual so I'm guessing she was a supervisor of some sort. I should have gotten their names but one was African American and the other Hispanic with pink hair. They were basically cackling and gossiping while we were getting checked in. It felt very unprofessional, like they were having a grand old time at a dive bar. The wait was long and there were people waiting for their injured babies for hours and stressed about the situation. I talked to a couple of them while I waited for my friend to arrive with her baby. I could hardly hear what they were saying over the conversation those two were having, which had nothing to do with anything. It was so inconsiderate, and to think this might be a person in charge of a team is terrible. They were so comfortable acting that way in front of a lobby full of concerned pet parents! Do better access!! Once my friend arrived and we spoke with Hannah we felt more comfortable, and she made the check in and check out process quite smooth. Natalie and Dr. Jung were also so sweet and patient with us. These stars go to them!

The prices were always fair-- almost cheap, honestly. Everyone we ever dealt with has been wonderful. They've tried to always accommodate my dog when we needed an unexpected last-minute appointment-- which was kind of a lot because she had a few health issues over the years. They were always so nice and loved on her even though she was a bit of a bad girl. When we had to put my dog down very unexpectedly, they tried very hard to save her. But also, they were honest about no heroics. I mean, they really could've gotten a lot of money out of me to save her, but Dr Moon was honest that it was time to let her go. Over the last nine years, they were all just so good and sweet to her. To be honest, even driving by there, I kind of want to cry even though it's been a few months. But I will always be appreciative to everyone there for being so good to my dog.

Afterwards, we were consulted on everything that occurred and were given valuable information on what other steps we could take. I really appreciate Dr Cohen taking her time to discuss with us everything and both sides asked and answered questions. She was very kind and as our first vet to come across, she didn't make us feel worried and eased our stresses. The standard of care here was very amazing and I have no worries coming back here in the future for invaluable pet care.
