About South Pasadena Veterinary Hospital
South Pasadena Veterinary Hospital is a full-service animal hospital that offers a wide range of services for pets of all shapes and sizes, including cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, and exotics. The hospital is under new management, and the staff is known for their kindness, gentleness, and high level of skill. Customers have praised the vets as "amazing" and the receptionists as "very patient." The hospital has also been commended for its quality service and the lack of "sour faces or grouchy ways." The veterinarian, Dr. Navia, is a superb clinician with great surgical skills and is very gentle with animals. She treated a customer's dog for a bad heart valve and heart failure over a couple of years. When the dog's disease progressed and the customer decided on euthanasia to prevent suffering, Dr. Navia was very skillful at the procedure and provided emotional support as well. The facility is service-oriented, and customers never feel like they are bothering the staff or that they are in it for the money. Customers describe the hospital as a "great business" that is "caring, friendly, and love animals." They also mention that the facility is "fairly priced to inexpensive," and that the weekly injections for a customer's dog were handled by "extremely nice" technicians who "take great care of him despite his protests."
You won't find better service and proper care anywhere else. My cat has been a patient for a little over 2 years. After experiences I've had at other clinics, I only have enthusiastic praise for this place. Friendliest and most attentive staff ever. I've never experienced wait times and my cat is always well cared for and sent home with the proper treatment. They don't push expensive meds and are flexible with treatment options. I don't trust my pets with anyone else.
I HIGHLY recommend this Animal Hospital!! Their staff is kind, courteous and caring. I recently started taking my 2 cat here; one on them who is difficult to manage, and the vets have been patient and understanding; allowing me to reschedule my appointment due to my cat’s ire. They took their time during the visit to offer a full picture of my cats’ health and needed treatment.
Cannot say enough good things about this place. The quality of care and attentiveness is so comforting. My cats both get very nervous at vets and everyone at SPAH is so warm, patient, competent, and communicative. Dr. Chiang went above and beyond, but truly everyone i’ve interacted with there was amazing. I feel really grateful and legitimately heartened to have found SPAH.
