Santa Monica Pet Medical Center: Dr. Anthony George, DVM

May 2024

Dr. George is the best!! I took my dogs to him for over 20 years. The man loves all dogs. My Welsh Terrier had a degenerative disc problem. Dr. Georges acupuncture gave Oliver a lot of relief. I have moved to Arizona and I have taken my current Welsh Terrier to over 10 vets to find someone close in knowledge and compassion to my favorite vet. My search has been futile. Here they treat dogs like cars going in tor a tune up. You first meet with the assistant and then the vet comes in to check out your dog. Than the assistant comes back out and put a list of services they think your dog needs on a computer screen mounted from the ceiling so you can get a good view. screen....read full review

I think that unfortunately, after 6+ years of going to SMPMC, I need to leave. Similar to other recent reviews you'll see, the staff is genuinely wonderful and the doctors are so helpful. What *kills* me is their weirdly predatory upsells during simple (or not so simple appointments.) A simple routine check-up comes with recommendations for: - A $2,500 teeth cleaning - Dog vitamins/probiotics for $60+ - Specialty food - Flea medication - Ear medication If I accepted everything,my appointment would come to $3500 for an annual visit. It gets exhausting constantly denying services- it's almost like going to a Jiffy Lube and having to deny all of these weird add-on services. I hope they read these reviews because I would love to return some day. At times, blood work

I have gone here for over two years now and am finally taking my business elsewhere. Constantly feeling up charged and shamed into taking every vaccine on offer. Recently paid over $1000 for ear infection and vaccine treatment which is way above market. The best quality about this business is the parking availability, but no warm and fuzzy treatment here whatsoever.
