We had such a positive experience when our Belle needed urgent care for a puncture wound. Dr. A and the staff were kind, caring, and reassuring throughout the entire process. They explained our treatment options, kept me updated during her procedure, and provided very clear aftercare instructions. Dr. A also took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. The staff called the next day to check on Belle's recovery. The cost was very reasonable and lower than some of the other pet hospitals we looked into. I would absolutely bring our dogs here again if we ever need urgent care. Thank you for taking such good care of our Belle! read more

I'm agitated. I been looking around for an avian vet and MESSAGED multiple places and I thought this place was quick to get back and seemed trustworthy. I CALLED, they said they do see chicken and gave me the quote. I left work early, CALLED them again to give ahead up that I will be there in 30 mins, and rushed to the place. I got there and checked in. The front desk asked if I have been here are not. I said I've never been here and she continued to take down my infos BUT then she said that they are at max capacity and don't take new patients. Like... what? It is just frustrating because my hen is lethargic and I am very worried. I appreciate that they gave me other options of avian vet but it is 20 miles away from the location which makes 40 miles from my house. Also it is 5 mins before 6 PM so every where was closed! If I was told that they don't take new patients, I could have went to a different place. Don't get me wrong the staffs here seemed very nice but I would like my time to be respected. read more

The morning of 03/31/26 I was desperately looking for a veterinarian that was familiar with reptiles. My leopard gecko had developed a small wound in her mouth that most likely had come from her injuring herself with her feeding tongs a couple nights before. I called 15 other locations before I landed here. Most other places either did not have openings anytime soon or no longer took in reptiles. So I was incredibly happy to hear that this location could see us asap & welcomed exotic pets. Dr. Maryam Alemzadeh was incredibly helpful & informative. It was very clear to me early on that she was familiar with reptile care. She was able to handle my gecko with care & removed what appeared to be an abscess in my geckos mouth. As a result, there was a very tiny hole left behind in my geckos mouth. Dr. Maryam said she was not worried about it as she believed my gecko could recover on her own in a week. She eased my concerns about my gecko needing antibiotics as she felt she didn't want to overwhelm my small reptile with medication & my gecko appeared generally healthy otherwise. However, she did say if the lump came back and/or my gecko was not getting better, to give her a call & she would put in the order for medication. Conclusion: -Staff: Friendly, super quick, & asked so many questions to get an idea of my reptiles enclosure, diet, & behavior to relay to the vet. -Veterinarian: Amazing! I could tell she knew her reptile stuff & eased my concerns. Even went the extra step to point out an issue with my geckos eye & gave me recommendations for veterinary ophthalmologists in the area. -Cost: $150 for the office visit, reasonable as I was quoted a higher price somewhere else. -Overall Impression: My leopard gecko appears to have fully recovered on her own! I would definitely recommend this place for urgent care to anyone who has small pets, especially reptiles! read more

Brought my fur baby here because she had something growing on her lip. I was panicking because I could only go after work which would be around 5:45pm. This place was the only place that helped me with a walk-in that late. The space is very clean and modern. The front desk is helpful and nice. The vet we were assigned to was knowledgeable and even gave us a treat while there. The fee is mid range. I believe we paid $180 just to be seen. Highly recommend! read more

They turned us away without offering closer options. My cat was very ill. They didn't bother to even look at him to see if it would be possible to accommodate a quick visit or provide recommendations. Front office staff lacked empathy . read more

Our hearts dropped when we noticed our fur baby Jonas couldn't stand up/jump. He was hunched over and visibly in pain. We looked around and found this place. We took him in and were greeted warmly. The staff are very nice and accommodating. The doctor was very knowledgeable and with 20 years+ experience. We took her advice about lower lumbar nerve pain/pinched nerve/muscle tightness and started him on recommended meds. Within 2 days of rest, he started to stand up in his hind legs again and had no more pain! Thank you everyone here for helping our fur baby. We appreciate all of you. read more

The office staff and Veterinarian Dr. Maryam Alemzadeh are stellar! They were warm and caring. I brought in a helpless little green parrot that was sitting in my front yard -- unable to fly -- that i kept in a toweled box overnight. They cleaned up the dirty youngster and put it in a "crystal" incubating cage until they could call the appropriate agency to care for it until it reached adulthood. Their facility is spotless and bright. I plan to use them for any emergency i might have with my pet dog. read more

I am very glad to have found this Veterinary Urgent Care very near my house! My regular Vet is incredible, but a bit far away and very very busy. We had a rough situation and scare recently and the service and care our dog received was top notch! The staff is excellent and have a wonderful bedside manner and their prices are very reasonable for this type of service. Cheaper than Access or VCA. Especially their medication prices are very reasonable. They stayed under their quote while doing a very thorough treatment. The facilities are brand new and very nice and spotless. Highly recommend. read more

OMG Dr. Maryam is an amazing human being. I have never met a vet with her compassion, empathy and kindness. I will never forget her. This is the only urgent care my dogs will ever see. She is an amazing doctor and combine that with the a wonderful human being, she is a winner! Kenji unfortunately had kidney failure so he left us 2 weeks ago and it is still difficult, but when Dr. Maryam hugged be during my crying as he was leaving, that showed me who she is as a person. Wow! Her staff was all so nice and helpful. A couple of days ago we received a sympathy card and every employee wrote us a note in the card. I have been recommending this hospital to everyone I know! And I only do that if they are great! It is difficult to find a good vet in Pasadena. I have been looking for a few years and tried a lot of them and was never satisfied. I wish they were more than urgent care, but the concept of Urgent Care is valuable read more

2 weeks ago i had to put my Benson down one of the hardest things I had to do but he was in pain so took him here.

Thank you for comforting us on this hard situation i will for ever be grateful. I received your beautiful card 2 days ago. Again thank you so much for all the care you gave my baby boy Benson. read more

DON'T COME HERE At each visit, I was told that the wound was improving like 20% improvement and I was advised to continue with regular bandage changes. However, in reality, the wound was not healing. Despite multiple visits, no additional diagnostics or reassessment were done, and there were no signs of actual improvement. I was eventually referred to a veterinary dermatologist to check for potential bacterial or skin issues. Due to continued lack of improvement, I brought my cat to a different veterinary hospital, where the attending veterinarian dead tissue on his paw. Surgical intervention was recommended and performed. The second veterinarian stated that this level of deterioration could likely have been prevented if the wound had been properly managed earlier. I followed all your recommendations because I put 100% trust in your professional judgment. I returned for every bandage change, administered all prescribed medications, and asked questions at each visit. However, despite my full compliance, the situation only got worse. This experience has been emotionally and financially distressing, and I feel that my trust was misplaced. While I cannot say with absolute certainty that the treatment provided at your clinic directly caused the necrosis, I believe it is a reasonable and serious possibility that inadequate wound care -- especially the bandaging technique and lack of reassessment -- contributed to the worsening of my cat's condition. read more

Total disregard for the well being of my dog. Completely ignored the unique needs of my animal. Despite the overwhelming clear evidence as to the situation, they refused to acknowledge the situation and placed their business interest over the welfare of my dog. Also, sold medications that were were unnecessary and outrageously priced. Don't trust them to have your animal's best interest in mind. I wish I never went there. read more

My puppy was sick and I was really worried and I couldn't get her into her regular vet. From the first girl that helped us-to the amazing vet-to the girls that helped get us checked out. Everyone was great-so nice, so helpful, so compassionate. I even got a text from the vet the next day to check in on my puppy. I told them I wish they were a regular vet-I'd take my puppy to them every time. 10/10 experience. If I ever had another issue, I'd take her there with no hesitation read more

Great place to take your pet! They will tell you the truth and are full of love and compassion. Not just looking for money.

Took my dog since I couldn't get an appointment at my regular vet. My dog had an ear infection and an infected foot. The whole experience was amazing. Great front office staff, efficient pet tech, very thorough vet! Clean facilities. Gave me a choice as to the extent of treatment for the care. Have no problem referring this clinic to family and friends. Thank you! read more

Everybody here is fantastic and they're vaccination prices are so reasonable. I would never take my pets back to Banfield. They're too expensive if they ripped people off. read more

Took my pet here for a walk-in since he wasn't doing well and many vets were unavailable on the weekend. Flat exam fee is $130, which is understandable given the nature of extended hours. Receptionist was pretty friendly, and doctor seemed knowledgeable. It did seem as though the doctor was a bit cold, and would have appreciated a more sympathetic conversation. Costs presented were also incredibly high, and we opted for further diagnoses and treatment from our regular vet in the following week. Price difference was around $1500. Would recommend if truly in an urgent emergency, otherwise, I'd only visit my regular vet. read more

Brought my dog in due to a cyst bursting on his back. Sweetest and most caring people for animals. Saw my dog and I right away, very professional and clean clinic. We'll definitely be coming back if any emergencies in the future. read more

We recently took a sick cat to Pasadena Veterinary Urgent Care (PVUC) for the first time. That morning, the cat had suddenly vomited several times and strained to soil the floor, leaving behind a small amount of blood. The staff and Dr. Maryam Alemzedeh were easy to work with. They provided options for diagnositics and treatment and gave us a followup call the next day. Staff forwarded records to us and to the cat's regular vet, and the cat is fine now. For many years prior, Dr. Alemzedeh had worked with another vet practice where she also provided great care. We did not know she had moved to PVUC until we looked up urgent care vets to see where we could get in. In addition to our own pets, we have also cared for foster animals for about 12 years, so we see more vets and have more urgent cases than when we simply had a few personal pets. Over time, some ER vets (that seemed to be insufficiently experienced) have ran up high bills with poor outcomes. I chose PVUC because I knew what to expect with the vet's experience and care, and when needed, we will go back. read more

Amazing, friendly & professional staff ! I brought my 11month old kitten in for vomiting & Dr. Alemzadeh was able to see him right away. Thankfully my cat, Stinky, was okay & only needed a anti nausea injection. The hospital itself is super clean & very welcoming the min you walk in the door. Thank you again PVUC for your amazing work ! read more

What can I say? The doctor and entire staff was excellent. We took our green cheek conure in for a nail he lost and they took us in right away. We are from the SFV and would gladly make the drive to have such comfort and piece of mind that our "family members" are in good hands. Within a week, our bird has healed properly. No need to search around for an honest, clean and a caring clinic. You have it all right here. Thank you so very much for your phone calls to check up and accommodating our schedule. You are all fantastic! 5 stars and more from Boba read more
