    Amazing care once again from Dr. Oh and the entire front desk staff! I recently had an issue with a foxtail that got into my dog's paw. Unfortunately, Van Nuys Vet was closed that Sunday, so I had no choice but to take my dog somewhere else. It ended up being one of the worst experiences I've ever had. After that visit, I immediately brought my dog back here and explained everything that had happened. Without hesitation, the front desk staff was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process, and Dr. Oh was amazing as always. The staff here is extremely professional and truly goes above and beyond for their patients. I know it can get very busy here, especially in the afternoons, and sometimes the staff is dealing with stressed or impatient people. But they continue to remain professional and do their best to help everyone. Please don't let the negative reviews discourage you from coming here. I genuinely preach about this place. As a dog owner who considers my dogs my children, having a veterinarian I can trust is extremely important to me. This is, without a doubt, one of the most trustworthy veterinary offices I've been to. The prices are fair, the staff is caring, and the quality of care is incredible. My dog is about 6 years old now, and I've continued to come here throughout her life. Even if I lived an hour away, I would still make the drive just to know my dog is receiving the proper care I would want for her. Thank you again to Dr. Oh and the entire team for everything you do. I truly appreciate you guys!

    Dr Oh is our favorite Vet for our English bulldog Bruno. Bruno has been with Dr. Oh for five years and he has since seen him grow from a puppy to a full adult. During that time, Dr.Oh has treated our dog for every little thing, and reassured us in ways that most vets haven't been able to. Our dog can be reactive, and Dr. Oh sees his potential and works with us on a really good behavioral plan. In addition to this, our dog Bruno suffers from many allergies, and requires monthly injections and medications. Dr Oh has worked with us on getting him onto a really good plan to make Bruno comfortable. He has also appropriately referred us to surgery for amputation of his tail, because he noted that it would improve his quality of life. I trust Dr Oh more than any other Vet, which is why we still drive 30 minutes to his office even though there's plenty of vets near us. The only thing that could need improvement is that because he's so good he's often booked days in advance, so getting a walk-in is practically impossible. Another thing, expect to wait in the lobby for 30 minutes past your appointment time most days, because of the high amount of peopld it does tend to get delayed. The office staff is otherwise pleasant, and will help clear the lobby when my reactive dog needs to come through. Otherwise cannot thank them enough for taking care of our baby!

    Writing this review for the receptionist with an attitude today. I arrived with two very young kittens for what should have been a simple deworming appointment. I'm not sure what was going on with the receptionist at the front desk, but her attitude from the moment I asked for clarification about the estimate and treatment plan was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Apparently, asking reasonable questions as a first-time customer was enough to send her into a frenzy. If someone asking for clarification about what they are being charged for and what is being done to their animals is that upsetting to you, perhaps working in customer service isn't the right job. After repeatedly dismissing me with, "You can just talk to the doctor," I sat down to wait. This same receptionist then looked directly at me and LOUDLY said, "Well, that's the fastest way to become an F." Naturally, I asked what "F" meant. At that point, there were THREE receptionists sitting at the front desk, and every single one of them conveniently decided to ignore me. Little did she know, I used to be a veterinary technician myself. I know exactly what an "F" on a chart means. It's a notation to alert the front and back staff that a client may be difficult to work with. So, I'll gladly be your F. If asking questions, expecting basic respect, and advocating for the animals in my care makes me "difficult," then by all means, mark the chart. Ironically, this "F" ended up receiving a significant discount on the visit, so I guess being difficult worked out pretty well for me. I do want to acknowledge that the doctor did give me half off my visit today, and I appreciate that. However, I was disappointed by how dismissive the doctor was regarding the receptionist's behavior. I was repeatedly told that "everyone could work on their communication skills." Respectfully, no. There is a difference between a communication issue and a staff member openly catching an attitude with a customer, publicly making comments about their chart, and then refusing to answer a direct question. We are paying you to provide medical care to our sick pets. If your staff chooses to give customers attitude, they should not be surprised when that attitude is returned. I came in concerned about two extremely young kittens and expected professional, compassionate treatment. Instead, I left feeling like I was being treated as an inconvenience simply for asking questions. The medical care may have been fine, but the front-desk experience was completely unacceptable.

    Large Bladder Stone removed from my 11 lbs Ragdoll Mix

    Dr. Oh has been seeing my service dog for the past 3 years. He is great with his medication management after two back to back upper respiratory problems (we took him to an ER and the med combo was not ideal for his breed and did not help solve his issue but Dr. Oh did amazing with the medicine combo) Recently we introduced our 4 cats to their team and they were very welcoming and attentive as 2 of my cats are not well socialized (one feral born and the other is a nursery baby I raised) On Wednesday we made an appointment because our youngest cat urinated some blood and Dr Oh and the team LITERALLY save his life and performed an emergency surgery. I was working and sent my not extremely animal savvy boyfriend and Dr OH and the vet shadowing him were real nice, helpful and answered all my boyfriend question so he could be at ease while the procedure was done. The RVT/Nurse assistant that was delivering the estimate was quite rude and rushed my boyfriend while he was making decisions and phone calls to confirm the time off work, check with me about my opinion on the procedure and letting his family know. He really needs a talk about being more kind and patient while a 3000 dollar decision and a life or dead decision is being made, like I said Dr oh and the vet shadowing him AMAZING professionally, this nurse/Rvt/assistent was awful, rush and unkind. I will not reduce my 5 star review of the clinic for an unprofessional rvt when the head of clinic, the reception and most of the team is amazing but I wanted to voice my opinion so he gets the training he needs to work in an industry so delicate as animal well fare. And this coming from a former shelter worker and a boarding/daycare facility manager My cat Toto is recovering awesome at home and I attached a picture of the massive bladder stone they removed from him. THANK YOU DR OH and most of your incredible team.

    My dog had a really bad ear infection and a hot spot, and Dr. Oh was amazing. He took her in right away, gave her steroid injections, shaved the area, and had us out the door in about 20 minutes. Super efficient and gentle with my pup the whole time. I had called around to check prices before coming here, and his rates were very fair compared to other vets. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and doesn't waste time upselling unnecessary treatments. Fast, knowledgeable, and caring service so glad we found this place! She healed with 1 week & a half

    Fully healed and happy

    Dr.Oh and his staff are awesome. I've been taking my fur babies here for years for their (affordable) shots. After having surgery for a hernia repair and baby tooth extraction, my little girl is doing so well. The pricing was surprisingly affordable and included medications. They maintain a clean environment. I recommend this place to anyone seeking affordable, quality care for their babies. Thank you Dr.Oh & team!

    Dr. Oh has been our trusted doctor for over 7 years, providing exceptional care for Marley and always putting us at ease. Dr. Oh's team is thorough, gentle, and patiently answers all our questions. His office staff including the front desk is incredibly helpful and kind, creating a truly welcoming and supportive atmosphere. We highly recommend Dr. Oh for the outstanding care Marley receives every visit. We couldn't thank Dr. Oh enough for his love and care for my baby boy!

    One year without my baby Bella…read more Today marks one year since we had to say goodbye to my Bella, who we laid to rest on October 4, 2025. Bella was my baby for 15 years. I had her since she was born. I played with her, walked her, fed her, slept with her, watched her grow, and loved her through every stage of her life. She was my best friend and a member of our family. Bella had suffered a stroke and could no longer walk. She was barely eating and was whimpering in pain. We took her to the veterinarian several times and were given guidance that her body was nearing the end. We initially decided to let nature take its course because I desperately wanted to believe she would pass peacefully on her own. But as the days went on, watching her suffer became heartbreaking. I knew Bella. I knew how much she loved me, and I knew how much I loved her. I kept praying for a miracle. Ultimately, we made the heartbreaking decision to euthanize her so she would no longer be in pain. She was 15 years old, and her body was failing her. This decision was not made lightly. I still struggle with whether I made the right decision. Unfortunately, what happened at VCA Van Nuys made one of the most devastating moments of my life even more traumatic. A male veterinarian entered the room and said, "You're making the right decision." I understand that perhaps he intended to comfort me, but hearing those words did not make me feel better. How could anyone know what the "right" decision was when I was saying goodbye to my baby of 15 years? All I wanted was to be with Bella when she died. Instead, the veterinarian told us that something was wrong and that they needed to administer the injection in the back. I was in shock, crying, and struggling to process what was happening. My three-year-old child was also in the room, emotional and concerned. Then they took Bella to the back. They put my dog to sleep without me. I will never forget that. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to tell her I loved her. I wanted her to hear my voice and feel that I was there with her during her final moments. Instead, I was left in the room with my three-year-old and husband, knowing that my baby was somewhere in the back dying without me. And then I heard laughter. I could hear the staff laughing and talking about their weekend, their lives, or whatever they were discussing. I know they may not have been laughing at us or at Bella, but in that moment, none of that mattered. My world had stopped. My best friend was taking her final breaths, and I was sitting there crying, feeling like my heart was being ripped out. Hearing laughter from behind that door is something that has stayed with me for an entire year. When the veterinarian finally returned with Bella, she was gone. I picked up my dead baby girl and walked out of the building with her and my three-year-old, completely devastated. I wanted to scream. I wanted to fall apart. Instead, as we were leaving, we were asked to pay. My husband handled the payment because I was simply not capable of doing anything except trying to hold myself together. For the past year, I have questioned whether I should write this review. I have blamed myself for taking Bella there. I have replayed that day in my mind over and over and wondered if I should have waited. But in the summer, I received a voicemail from VCA Van Nuys asking me to call because Bella was due for her vaccines. Bella. My dog who had been dead for almost a year. That voicemail brought everything back. It reminded me of the way we were treated during the worst moment of our lives and of the goodbye I never got to have with my baby. I understand that veterinary medicine is difficult. I understand that euthanasia is emotionally challenging for veterinary professionals as well. But I also believe that compassion, dignity, and sensitivity should be at the center of an animal's final moments. That animal is someone's family. Bella was my family. She deserved to have her final moments surrounded by the people who loved her. And I deserved the opportunity to say goodbye to my best friend. I hope VCA Van Nuys takes this experience seriously and uses it as an opportunity to do better. Families deserve compassion during one of the most painful moments they will ever experience. They deserve to understand what is happening, to be treated with sensitivity, and, whenever medically possible, to be allowed to remain with their beloved pet. We now take our pets to VCA Santa Monica, even though it is much farther from us, because we would rather make the drive than return to VCA Van Nuys. Do better, VCA Van Nuys. Bella, I hope you knew how deeply I loved you. I hope you knew that letting you go was never because I wanted to lose you. I did it because I couldn't bear watching you suffer anymore. One year later, I still miss you every single day. You were my baby. You always will be. Rest peacefully, my Bella girl.
