Been going here for about a year now and I've been content with the way my animals have been treated. I do wish we were allowed inside with our pets. Everyone's nice and we see dr.Wilson and he's great.

I'm sorry, but while I can somewhat understand the doing the waiting in the parking lot thing at the beginning of Covid, when everyone was freaking out. I can't understand why they're still doing it. It's moronic. The way a veterinarian visit is supposed to work is that you bring your pet in for an exam, you sit in the examination room with the vet or vet's assistant, and you go over your concerns with them. While the staff is friendly enough, I can't go here any longer due to this backwards policy.

Thank you Linda Mar Vet Hospital.

Sadly, my wiener dog, Max, of almost 17 years passed away a few weeks ago, and his passing was quite traumatic. He was diagnosed with kidney failure from another vet, and just the night before his death he was in that vet's care and told us he had 1-3 months to live. That night, he deteriorated quickly. He couldn't walk, started losing his bowels, vomiting, and we knew the end was coming soon. The next morning, I came home early from work because I knew that he wouldn't be with us for much longer. As soon as I got home, he looked terrible. I knew it was time. I picked him up and held him and kissed him. He seized in my arms, and at that point we knew (well thought) he was gone. I don't know if you've ever seen an animal pass away without euthanasia, but.. they're just there. This seems creepy but their eyes are open, and even if you try to close them they won't, so we thought he was gone at that point. We couldn't feel any heartbeat. We ran down to Linda Mar Vet (which is down the hill from us), and someone came out to see us immediately, e without calling beforehand. The vet came out instantly and was super kind and understanding, and took Max inside. She came back a few minutes later to let us know he still had a very faint, weak heartbeat but we knew we needed to put him to rest. She took him to get him ready, but as soon as she put the catheter in his arm he passed away. Everyone was so incredibly sweet, helpful, and supportive. They had no issues with our family members visiting over the next few hours to say goodbye to our baby. Thank you Linda Mar Vet for your compassion and flexibility during this difficult time. If I get another animal, I'll definitely be coming here. :)

Lab tests are highway robbery. Go somewhere else. Gigantic ripoff IMO. $488 for one battery of blood tests.

This is a long overdue review. Unfortunately I lost my beloved cat in December 2024 but I so…read moreappreciate all the help and support coastal cat clinic had offered us. We worked closely with Dr Couture and she probably single handedly extended my cat's life by at least a year and helped reducing lots of her pain. I love their new location (which has plenty of parking) and love that it's for cats only. I took my cat to general pet hospitals before and all the dogs barking and sniffing around really added more stress to my cat. I currently don't have a cat anymore but if I ended up adopting one, this is where I will be taking my future cat:)

I am a new cat mom and really need a lot of education on cats' issues. But today I was stunned by how the manager treated me. Instead of a hello, I was rudely told to remove my cat from the counter. Minutes later, the same harsh tone again when one cat was on a leash. I get that cleanliness matters, but kindness matters too. And how you say things also matter. That was not compassionate, kind or respectful. I don't need to be reminded that the counter would now need to be cleaned. I simply don't know as all the previous times I was at the clinic, this was all allowed. I am still learning - and there is a better way to communicate. What makes it worse? She didn't even step out to talk, citing an "internal meeting." That's not leadership, that's avoidance. This put pressure on the staff, who by the way, were all amazing and apologetic. Staff shouldn't apologize for manager's behavior! That's not good leadership. Love the doctors here, but management needs a serious lesson in customer service and communication skills.

We loooooove this place! Both of the veterinarians are amazing. All of the physical therapists,…read morereceptionist, and staff are the best I've seen. I started bringing my dog here to address his luxating patella. We came up with a plan to start shockwave therapy and water treadmill therapy and supplements. We've had two appointments out of the five of the package we purchased. He's much more comfortable with all the staff and treatments now. The first two shockwave treatments are done with the doctors to assess and develop a treatment plan, and the following treatments are done with a certified therapist. Everyone has been so kind to my dog that he loves coming here. And not just for the human grade cheese he's given to do the exercises!! We were also given a comprehensive List of physical therapy movements and stretches to do at home. It's too soon to tell if the treatment is working well, but we have high hopes with this clinic! It takes us about 3 hours of traffic to get to and from this clinic, but it's such a gem. They provide towels and blowdryers and snacks for the water treadmill work. We opted to not try the injection as my dog is scared of shots, who isn't really?! The doctor was so kind to provide us with a another supplement option, which we have started. They check in to see how he's doing at the start of every appointment and tailor the session to his needs. We opted to not go through insurance, but they can help out with paperwork if you do so. Well worth it to learn non invasive techniques to rehab your beloved pups. Can't wait to see my little baby become stronger with these amazing professionals!

The staff was kind and helpful and Dr Fady is especially terrific and empathetic. He helped Oscar recover enough to get through a few more months before he had another heart failure that he couldn't recover from. We still continue to take our other dog there and only see Dr Fady unless it's something minor. Although not the cheapest vet in town, they are open 24 hours and have a pretty good size office and staff. Dr Fady is only in 3 days a week, however, but otherwise if you need someone to see your pet they are pretty accommodating and have at least one other vet and several vet techs.

There were genuine positives about my experience. When I could only afford one day of the quoted three-day stay, they extended his stay without charge to ensure his pancreas levels improved. The ER doctor was caring and thoroughly answered my questions. The vet tech that first night was exceptional, she included me in his care, brought me a Gatorade, and spent her time between patients trying to find something he'd eat. She was outstanding. My main feedback is that the communication at this clinic was a consistent problem, and it affected Patches' care directly. I was handed an invoice before anyone had a real conversation with me about my dog. I was told to wait in a room, then sent back to the waiting room, then called back after another half hour with no explanation. On the second night, I arrived at 10 PM and asked the technician when Patches had last been outside to go potty. He said he didn't know. The chart said noon. Ten hours -- while they were pumping him with IV fluids, in a dog with kidney disease. When I raised the issue, the tech awkwardly told me "there's no neglect here." Although I'm sure it's not intentional, there is no excuse. If your internal communication is so bad that you are neglecting patients because of it, then it needs to be resolved immediately. After discharge, his levels worsened significantly within a week. I don't know why the doctor said that we should do fluid therapy every three days and then see how it goes from there. What happened was he ended up needing daily fluid therapy and his levels were so high that he needed to be hospitalized again after one week. If we had just done daily fluid therapy for the entire first week, maybe his levels wouldn't have ever gotten that high. These are all things that we would've been able to communicate about if there was any sort of communication throughout the whole process. I also would've liked to have known that gabapentin is for palliative care and it destroys your kidneys. I was told to give it to him following his hospitalization and his kidney levels went from stage three to double the maximum of end stage kidney failure within one week. The vet nutritionist said that this was all manageable with diet and fluid therapy and the veterinarian at the hospital said that if I don't put him down within a week, he would become violently ill and I shouldn't let it get that far. I met about five different doctors during that week, and 3 different vet techs. As you can tell from reading this, I was being told a lot of different things by a lot of different people. This was a very stressful and chaotic time for me. Meanwhile, my dog is in pain, loosing his energy and appetite and being neglected in critical care, of all the places. It would've been nice if I had somebody who wasn't being pulled away to take care of animals to just sit down and talk to me. I believe this is a capable team and I understand you guys are doing really hard work. My situation was complicated and it was the end of his life, so it's hard to say that anything could've gotten much better. But I am upset about the lack of communication and it does need to be addressed.
