Veterinarians near Pacific Palisades

“A great animal clinic.<br>And, the staff is really great too.<br>Thank you for being so fantastic!“

“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at this clinic! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an adorable cat named Sherlock at the reception. He has an incredibly calming effect on all the animals that come into the clinic. Not only does Sherlock bring a sense of comfort, but the staff and the vet, Dr. Vlad P., provide top-notch care, making both pets and their owners feel welcome and well looked after.<br><br>A special thank you to Dr. Vlad for his friendly and compassionate approach to animals. Let’s be honest—my dog has a difficult personality, and visiting the vet has always been a stressful experience. But to my surprise, I got back a calm and healthy Maltese after a complex dental cleaning and extraction procedure. Dr. Vlad guided us through each step, thoroughly explaining the necessity of the procedures and how they would be performed. He kept me informed about my dog's condition at every stage, which helped ease my own stress as well.<br><br>I highly recommend this clinic not only for the welcoming atmosphere they've created for animals, but also for their well-selected staff. In particular, I can’t recommend Dr. Vlad enough for his professionalism and care. Having interacted with many veterinarians in various countries, my experience with Dr. Vlad left a lasting and positive impression on both me and my dog. In him, we not only found an excellent veterinarian but also a friend.“

“Great doctors. Loving, caring and professional. They take really good care of my beloved dog, Wesley. Thank you.“

“It was hard to find a vet we liked in the area but are so so happy we found Tarzana Pet Clinic! We will not be going anywhere else now!“

“Ive been going here for years. They've given my brand new kittens their shots, they gave my oldest his final exam. You can trust them. I can afford their care. In the end, that's all that matters to me. Recommended.“

“I am sorry you are reading this but that means you are trying to ensure you find the best final goodbye for your pet. I want to share my experience to hopefully help ease any of your nerves. We helped my sweet pup cross the rainbow bridge on December 30, 2023 but haven't had the mindset to fully revisit the final goodbye. I called heart and halos a couple times, the first time to was once we were beginning to consider euthanasia and I just wanted information and linh was very sweet. I called two times during the next few weeks to check on their availability until we were really ready to let go. We wanted to wait until after Christmas to enjoy having our sweet boy with us one last time but wanted a back up plan in case we thought he wouldn't make it. I was informed it was an extra $200 on holidays (not eve) but otherwise same price on weekends. We paid around $600 for my baby boy but they have different prices depending on after care packages and pet weight. Overall, linh had a big impact on us deciding on Heart and halos as she was very patient and compassionate. I had called other euthanasia places and they were rude and just wanted to know if you wanted to book now or would hang up. Your receptionist is a big representative of the company. About 15 minutes before our appointment time, we got a phone call from a private number to let us know their ETA. They arrived right at our appointment time, not a minute late. My judgment about the company was not wrong, Dr Susan was very sweet. Once they got to the house, I asked that her assistant wait outside and to only have Dr. Susan come inside after a few minutes while I settled into position with my baby boy. Dr. Susan went above and beyond to make sure my sweet boy did not see her. I held him on my chest sitting on our living room couch as she snuck in and kneeled behind the couch. With him facing the opposite direction, she administered the first injection. The only thing I wish I could have prepared for was that my baby did feel the first shot and it did sting him once it was administered. Nothing on the doctors practice, she even diluted it and gave me an option on how I would like the first shot, IV, IM or SQ. She recommended SQ for less pain and even advised she dilutes it with normal saline as part of her practice. As I registered nurse I know that this can happen with an injection, I just imagine it feels like getting a vaccine- very minimal pain compared to a natural death. Luckily my baby had been receiving sq fluids at the same site of the first sq injection, so my baby probably just thought I was poking him again for give him fluids. My baby boy was deep asleep within ** minutes and did not feel the second shot given intravenous. My baby boy crossed the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved, laying on my chest in the comfort of his own home. The experience of putting your childhood pet to sleep is something no one can truly prepare you for, I miss him everyday. But I rest in comfort knowing I chose the very best service to put him to rest.“

“This is my dogs regular vet clinic and I’m super happy about their services and professional staff. They’re highly professional and very kind“

“I met Dr. Kunin approximately 20 years ago. By my second visit he had won my admiration and friendship. In my opinion he stood out from the other Veterinarians I had worked with in the past. Not only did he know his craft extremely well, he also has a caring side for both animal and owners alike. I believe his drive to be a veterinarian came from growing up on a farm and dealing with the suffering of many animals. I believe he wanted to make a difference and do what he could to help animals in peril...which I believe he's done. During my recent time there, I also dealt with two of the other doctors during my difficulties with my dog, Loki (who was going though kidney shut down). It became a 3-way effort with his team, including Dr. Nardi and Dr. Barker. These doctors also have that rare quality of being truly invested in the work they do. I do not know how Dr. Kunin has the ability (or luck) to attract the quality of veterinarians he does, but I am extremely grateful. I can't overstate my admiration for the Doctors, but also for the staff as well. Their technician, Dior, helped with Loki's daily injections. She would greet us with a warm and caring smile. With her kindness, she eventually won Loki over and made a daunting experience bearable. The royal treatment did not end there. If Dior wasn't available, Alejandro, Stephen, Brittany and Yusmary took over with the same enthusiasm and kindness. Senior technicians April and Jennifer always comforted me with therapeutic advice and words of wisdom. Their administrative staff, Alexandra and Jessica kept everything well organized and communicated my needs to the Doctors. I want to mention these technicians, because they are the backbone of this veterinarian clinic and deserves praise for their work. Everyone made it a friendly and comfortable situation every time I walked into the office. Not to mention they added close to a year of quality and happiness to Loki's life. Dr. Kunin's office and administrative staff made me feel as if they were caring for their own pet when they were caring for Loki. Again, my deepest thanks to you all. Loki eventually succumbed to her illness. The team at Veterinary Medical Center comforted me through it all. To this day, I look upon them as friends for life. I will always be grateful to everyone who worked at Veterinary Medical Center. Losing a pet is difficult. I wish I could give them all medals, trophies and a week's vacation in Hawaii ending with an extravagant ceremony for the exceptional service they give on a daily basis. Kudos to this Veterinary Staff, anyone who brings their animals here will be lucky and blessed to have them cared for with such love. -Michael T.“

“The best. Dr Kirby has been treating our allergic dog for years. She’s amazing. She spends the time to examine her closely and explain all the treatment options as many times as it takes. Knows everything including all the latest studies and treatments. Easy to schedule with especially in the post covid vet shortage. And most importantly cares about her patients. We end up seeing her way more than our primary care vet for all these reasons and more.“

“I was recommended here for dental work for my dog from k9 grillz. I am grateful we came here for his dental cleaning and extractions! I was nervous about the process as it's never fun to have to put your dog under and undergo any type of procedure even for their best health. My dog is my best friend and super anxious so the idea made me anxious too! However, the entire staff was so helpful and kind which made me feel so much better. Thank you to everyone who interacted with us and took care of him. I am so grateful for the care and treatment! The process was smooth and easy. I was updated the entire time and I felt like he was in the best hands. Thank you to Dr. Snyder for the honest feedback and safety of Gus during his dental work. He is healing so wonderfully and we could not appreciate it more!“

“Had our very first pet check-up for our cockatiel! Staff was approachable. Ashley assisted us and she was super nice, professional and accommodating! She made sure everything was prepared for the doctor before she came in to check Peanut (our bird) and she made sure everything was explained to us before we left the appointment. Pricing is very reasonable as well! On top of that Dr Berens was so nice, she covered all the information needed and answered all of our concerns. Definitely will come back for our next appointment!“

“Thank you Dr. Jody for being there for my family and puppy in the most difficult moments. You showed compassion and empathy and we are so thankful for your services.“

“My beloved senior cat, Rusty, was suddenly in distress from long-term chronic kidney disease, refusing food for a couple days and unable to drink water without throwing up. I was freaking out because I had to leave town shortly for three weeks. This happened to be an important trip to care for my mom. I hated the thought of both "disappearing" on Rusty at this critical time, or not being there for him should he die. ESAH kindly carried through on offering me a cancelled appointment that same day. Dr. Shin was wonderful and caring. She told me that Rusty was in critical condition and advised of extreme measures that could be taken to try to stabilize his health. She also admitted that treatment may not work and would only offer a temporary solution. She assured me that--far from cruel--this would be a good time to let Rusty go. Her stating this was extremely important to me in making a very painful, sudden decision. Dr. Shin and the ESAH staff were exceptionally kind and supportive. They allowed my husband and I all the time we needed to pamper Rusty and say our good-byes. Rusty was calmed by our presence and drifted off peacefully. I'm grateful to Dr. Shin and the ESAH staff for guiding and helping me through this very tough experience. They followed up by sending me flowers the next day. As sad as I am over the loss of Rusty, I'm also feeling lucky to live near this amazing clinic.“

“Every member of the staff, from the vet to all the aides, clerical people, and janitorial guy, are good at their jobs and care about the animals. They all demonstrate a personal interest in the patients, and do their jobs with a high level of competence. The facility is small, but it is kept very clean, and functions smoothly. Highly recommend.“

“The BHSAH team is knowledge and friendly. They consistently provide my animals with the best care“

“Dr. Chang and her team are the best around. We came to TACOE during the pandemic with our diabetic senior Dachshund when our vet closed suddenly. Our dog, Oreo, was cared for lovingly and we always felt the same. Sadly, Oreo crossed the rainbow bridge at the end of April, however we will always be grateful for the care we all received. We will be back, when we have four legged creatures in the future. Owen Kugell“

“I wish that I could give them 10 stars! This review is about Dog & Cat Imaging Center in Woodland Hills, also owned by Dr. Norman. Based on findings at an emergency vet, it was recommended that I follow up with a specialist to perform and interpret an abdominal ultrasound. I remember seeing a post on Facebook about a facility that only does imaging, so I saved the information for future reference, and I'm so glad that I did. I called and was given a same day appointment, which is amazing! As a board certified internist, I felt that Dr. Norman's expertise was perfect for my pup's situation, and I was right. After the ultrasound, he came out and sat with me explaining all of his findings, offering suggestions, including what to monitor and when to follow up. He thoroughly and patiently answered all of my questions. He's extremely professional and personable. His team is wonderful. I am truly grateful for Dr. Norman and his team. Thank you!“

“Love this vet practice!!! Dr. Mike is incredible but I haven't had a bad experience with any vet we've seen for our dog Ivy and I never feel like they are trying to up charge me or do anything unnecessary. At previous vets I felt like they would do unnecessary blood work or X-rays to make more money. Never here. They are so kind and caring I feel lucky to have found them.“

“Great Vet office. Clean, professional, helpful, reassuring, caring, knowledgeable, kind and patient. Met with Dr Johnson and techs Destiny/Julio. Check up with two dogs. Blood test samples went without a hitch. No unnecessary services. Trustworthy. Would not hesitate to bring my animals here. Cheers Tom“

“My cats have been seeing Dr Quezada for their whole lives and I can't say enough about how great the staff and doctors are. They have been especially understanding with one of my cats who has difficulty going to the vet, or anywhere for that matter.I know that during COVID it was harder to find availability, which was the same everywhere. However, I could always feel like they were trying to help as much as they could, even when spread so thin.“

“I couldn't have imagined a better experience for my beloved Henry. The staff were beyond kind and helpful, and patient and knowledgeable. The facility was comfortable and clean and inviting. They even offered coffee, and sweet waiting rooms. I felt cared for and truly valued as a customer. The surgeon and nurse took over an hour, sitting on the floor explaining the options and different procedures and risks. I never waited more than 10 minutes, and they were beyond accommodating. With all they did to him, he came out looking like he lost a bar fight, and it likely should've cost a mortgage payment, but it was incredibly reasonable. My friend thought it would be double. They were up front about all the costs and explained everything afterwards. I almost want to cry writing this, they took a really scary situation and made me feel so special.. My lil dude too. We will be eternally grateful and loyal to them.. our new fur-ever vet. Thanks Dr. Faro and Amanda and the whole crew!!! xoxo“
