I highly recommend bringing your pets here for acupuncture. I brought my girl Luna for well over a year, at first weekly, then bi-weekly and later every three weeks for maintenance. The team here is so wonderful and kind. All three vets, Dr. Magda, Dr. Lane and Dr. Van Zant were always so attentive and actually read notes from the last visit and asked how she was doing at the time to determine what spots to hit with the needles. The techs were also AMAZING, I cannot tell you just how much it meant to have them care for Luna. A special shout out to my girl, Danielle, who would sit there listening to my random useless facts, would laugh whenever Luna would sigh and side eye her, and of course would talk about her own old baby and share her stories and hold back tears with me. The pricing here is competitive, and if you get the acu package, you get an additional service. Luna always got the laser in addition to her acupuncture because that's what made the most sense for her. I never had any issue scheduling for rescheduling, Michelle was always so so helpful. I actually stopped taking Luna in December because she seemed like she was tired and just needed to spend the rest of her days relaxing at home. February, she turned 14 and gave us a very active month full of energy. Just last week we had to say goodbye to her, and I wish that I had gotten the chance to take her in one last time for the team to say goodbye. But I will never forget how wonderfully they treated us both. Posting my puppy tax, Luna looking very annoyed to have to lay and wait for the needles to work their magic.

Excellent service and space for animals and humans. We arrived and were welcomed into our room with two comfy couches, one for doctor and other for patients and their human family members. The distance between both was helpful for anxious cat like ours. The doctor was respectful to not come close and announce when getting closer to do some observations. At some point, our cat got nervous due to the doctor's close proximity and I took part of the stethoscope up to my cat's body while she listened to the heart. I appreciated her listening to us in knowing what our cat needs to be more comfortable in getting checked up without any drugs as other places have done. We learned more about out cat through this appointment, andwill definitely go back!

Bentley waiting for his acupuncture and laser treatments

Dr Magda is hands down the best veterinarian. She is honest, caring, attentive and kind. Her staff is also amazing. I believe her care has kept my dog Bentley alive and thriving. He's diabetic and has other issues and she's been able to treat all his issues. He has a great quality of life because of her great care. I'm so grateful to have found her!

We love Dr. Magda!! Dr. Magda was excellent with our basset hound during her house call. She is easy-going and connected really well with our shy dog. Dr. Magda thoughtfully talked out the issues we wanted to address. She is extremely professional and kind, with ivy-league training to complement her holistic approach. She is very conscientious of Covid (i.e. wears appropriate mask, cleans hands, etc.). We feel very comfortable with her treating our pup, and can't recommend highly enough!

Dr. Szyrmer and her staff are amazing and very knowledgeable and competent. My senior kitty was seen last week and really liked the vet and her tech. They were patient with my questions and fingers crossed my cats chronic yeast infection is much better now after an ear cleaning and treatment. Both my cats had an issue over the weekend and she emailed me back on Saturday night after working all day. She's passionate and very dedicated and it's reassuring to have her on my pets healthcare team. Her office staff, especially Michelle, are very kind and pawsome!! They are also very affordable considering they are mobile! Look no further for excellent vet care for your pets!!! Bonnie C.

My girl is strong and healthy

I bought a puppy last year, a sweet 3 months old Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. When I took my puppy for the third DA2PP at three months old, a replacement vet. Insisted that I will need to have total four DA2PP for my dog. December 9th for the third vaccine and December 26 for the forth vaccine. When I took my puppy there on December 26, they gave my dog DAPP vaccine, Rabbits vaccine, and oral Bordetella. There was no advanced notice or approval on both Rabbits vaccine and oral Bordetella/ there is one treatment on December 9th already. My puppy was 11 weeks old and 3.6 lb on Decamber 26. I was very stressed on more than one vaccine in one visit on a such young puppy under 4 lb and there was no owner approval. When I checked out my dog, I raised my concern and disappointed. All I got was " our tech has right to decide what your dog needs." My puppy came home can't move nor eat/drink for hours. I hold her the whole night and had a very hard time worrying if she would had bad outcomes. She was trained properly after two weeks in my house, but started bad behavior issues after December 26 vaccine trauma for three months until now. I don't think that I will bring her back to Best Care Pet hospital any more. It is sad, I worked with Dr. Tang for over 30 years and in the same location with same staffs since Dr. Tang moved to this location. I can't trust this clinic for my dogs any more.

I even was able to get somewhat of a last minute appointment with them and they were so great about calling to get me an even earlier time. I've had my fair share of visits with the vet because anytime somethings wrong with my dog, I try and get it checked out right away. The people here are very kind, thorough, they make sure to ask all the questions and also answer all the ones I have. Again, prices are super reasonable too especially with some others in the area I've tried out. If you're in the La Crescenta/ La Canada area, I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Few appointments ago we noticed Dr Youn (owner as well), was giving us the run around and when we told him, please stop trying to upsell us, and let's just treat the problem we originally came for. He didn't like that. I call it how I see it. As for the staff, all dull and not friendly at all at least to us. I guess you have to be in their "La crescenta white" group, to be treated fairly. Very unethical place, and they treat dogs? Twisted. If you love your four legged friend, don't take your dog there. Again please approach with caution.

My dog has formed a small lump in between one of his paws & it was leaking puss. I went ahead & called Hillcrest & the receptionist was able to get me an appointment for the next day instead of having me come in as urgent. Once I was with the vet, they looked at his paw & concluded that this might have been caused by a fox tail. I tried to explain that I didn't believe that was the case since I had not walked my dog around the neighborhood yet nor were there any foxtails by my home. They were pretty convinced this was still the case despite me mentioning maybe an ingrown hair or some other cause. The vet didn't really listen to my opinion & instead recommended my dog either be given medication or go under the knife. Personally, recommending surgery was a ridiculous suggestion in my opinion. It felt scummy. I went with medication, bandaging & cleaning his wound. It totaled to about $403. In the end, the bandaging they did on my dog gave him a new wound that required me to take him to a different vet 2 weeks later. Turns out, the initial lump was just a symptom of my dog having allergies! Condensed Version: -Staff: Super friendly & accommodating. -Veterinarian: They could do better in listening to the owner, especially before jumping to surgery. -Location: Parking in the area was terrible. -Price: Expensive, $403, they kept insisting I buy certain things despite me saying I already had something similar. -Overall Impression: I appreciate the staff willing to accommodate us at the last minute. However, my dog developed a NEW wound due to their bandaging so I had to take him to a different vet. Recommending surgery was a big red flag to me, turns out, it was just allergies! I would have a hard time returning back in the future.

From that very first visit, they've walked alongside us through every season of her life. They've celebrated her milestones, comforted us through the scary moments, and treated our girls: Bay and Ava, with such tenderness. Everyone there, from the front desk (Auntie Lynn!) to the vet techs to the doctors (Dr. Schnabel!), has shown us a level of care that goes far beyond professionalism. It feels like love. It feels like family. We drive from the Valley to Glendale without hesitation because there is simply no one else we trust with our fur babies. Visit after visit, they've cared for our girls, but they've also cared for us. We recommend them with full hearts. VCA Arden isn't just our veterinary clinic...they've become woven into the story of our family. Thank you VCA Team!
