My fur baby, Luna, was due for her rabies shot, and upon my arrival, I learned that Dr. Tang had passed away. First, I would like to send my deepest condolences to his family, staff, and clients. They probably thought I was crazy because the moment I asked about him, tears started forming, and I had to sit down before I completely ugly cried. Dr. Tang was a gentle yet strong man. He low-key scared me a little, but he was always so gentle and loving with my fur babies. He listened to my concerns, provided a plan of action, and never rushed to medication unless it was truly necessary. He was reasonable, compassionate, and genuinely cared. I am going to truly miss him. Luna has always been scared of the vet and groomer, it's just not her thing. Today was no different. We were greeted by the front desk staff, who were as kind and welcoming as always. We then made our way to the exam room, where the veterinary technician asked several questions, checked Luna's weight, and took her temperature. Next, we met with Dr. Moore. She was patient, gentle, and recognized that Luna was having a difficult time relaxing. She took her time with her, and before long, Luna warmed up to her. I'm happy to report that Luna is healthy, received her rabies shot, and we were never pressured into purchasing services or treatments she didn't need. It's sad to see some people come on here and tarnish this establishment and its staff. Dr. Tang set a high standard of care, and I believe he would be proud to know those standards continue today. Thank you, Dr. Moore and staff, for taking such wonderful care of Luna and for continuing the compassionate legacy that Dr. Tang built. read more

Dr. Tang treated all my dogs for over 30 years. He never took advantage of extra unnecessary treatments and love all my dogs. I was heart broken to hear his passing last year. I bought a puppy last year, a sweet 3 months old Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. When I took my puppy for the third DA2PP at three months old, a replacement vet. Insisted that I will need to have total four DA2PP for my dog. December 9th for the third vaccine and December 26 for the forth vaccine. When I took my puppy there on December 26, they gave my dog DAPP vaccine, Rabbits vaccine, and oral Bordetella. There was no advanced notice or approval on both Rabbits vaccine and oral Bordetella/ there is one treatment on December 9th already. My puppy was 11 weeks old and 3.6 lb on Decamber 26. I was very stressed on more than one vaccine in one visit on a such young puppy under 4 lb and there was no owner approval. When I checked out my dog, I raised my concern and disappointed. All I got was " our tech has right to decide what your dog needs." My puppy came home can't move nor eat/drink for hours. I hold her the whole night and had a very hard time worrying if she would had bad outcomes. She was trained properly after two weeks in my house, but started bad behavior issues after December 26 vaccine trauma for three months until now. I don't think that I will bring her back to Best Care Pet hospital any more. It is sad, I worked with Dr. Tang for over 30 years and in the same location with same staffs since Dr. Tang moved to this location. I can't trust this clinic for my dogs any more. read more

God rest Dr Tang's soul, I just found out about his passing and I was GUT PUNCHED! I will never ever find such a caring and straight forward vet EVER AGAIN! I can see the MASSIVE crowd of animal welcoming him over the rainbow bridge! I CAN'T get over it! OMGOMGOMG! read more

I have been taking my dog here since he was just a puppy and he is almost 15 years old. The previous Dr was very nice and always recommended home remedies instead of medication. Unfortunately he has passed and there is a new Dr. I really like her she is very informative and kind. They have reasonable prices. I recommend taking your pet here read more

Don't go here! It is a complete financial ripoff since Dr. Tang left. Horrendous, money hungry vets. Not caring; just looking at the $

I am so saddened to hear of Dr Tang's passing. He was truly one of the best veterinarians around. We need more like him and he will be so missed. I would like to attend his funeral service if possible so I can pay my respects. He took care of my pets for about 20 yrs. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! 10 year customer and all the negative stigma vets receive is the definition of this establishment. New vet came in and rinsed all the customers. It almost feels like she knows the future and is going to make all her money meanwhile. Hearing she ran $400 test to continue giving oral flea and tick medication is diabolical. I feel bad for the technician that are now surrounded around her. Dr you are not a good person. read more

Upon bringing my cat in today, I was so shocked to find out that Dr. Tang passed away. I have taken my cats here for over 20 years and they've received the best care from Dr. Tang, the vet techs, and receptionists. I was always so fond of Dr. Tang's ability to make us pet parents feel at ease with his no nonsense approach. May he rest in peace. I am very surprised by the recent negative reviews since Dr. Tang's passing. I felt compelled to write a review because my experience today was still nothing short of exceptional. The receptionists are still the same - so kind, patient, caring, and efficient. The AMAZING vet tech is the same as well. And the new vet, Dr. Moore, is a rockstar. She was incredible with my cat Leo and so thorough in giving recommendations, answering my questions, and easing my worries. I came in stressed out, and left feeling stellar. The costs were also as affordable as they had been in the past, nothing new here. I had seen some reviews claiming the new costs and "money grabbing" attempts are out of hand, and wanted to add my own two cents: I am someone who also does not like to be taken advantage of into spending more than is necessary, especially in such a vulnerable situation. That's a big red flag for me and a huge reason why I loved going to Dr. Tang - like so many of his other patients. His suggested care was always emblematic of the KISS Method (Keep It Simple, Stupid). He never suggested tests/additional procedures unless he truly deemed it necessary - and even then he didn't make it feel like life or death. However, it did take some emergency vet visits (whenever it was outside Best Care's hours) to understand how important and vital these additional testing/procedures can be for our pets. I just wanted to raise awareness that when vets suggest additional testing/procedures/etc., it really is to rule out any other illnesses and to ensure that the care your cat is receiving is adequate. I don't think it's always a "money grab". Of course there may be some bad apples that try to take advantage, but I truly don't believe they are here at Best Care Pet Clinic. Use your own discretion and don't abandon this amazing place because of recent reviews. Best Care Pet Clinic, thank you again for your care. I will continue to bring my beloved pets here for as long as I can. read more

We have been going here for now 20 years. Saddened by the passing of Dr.Tang, there was some hesitation to see the new vet that took over. However, I'm so pleased with Dr. Dempsey! She was very attentive and thorough with the exam. She even gave us a follow up call to check up on the dog. I know the prices have increased, but I believe they are still reasonable in comparison to other places. read more

After Dr. Tang's passing, and right around when my dog turned 10, we started experiencing all kinds of health issues. I found out the clinic was still open and decided to give it a try. Glad I did! Dr. Dempsey is an excellent and caring vet. So glad she's here! Armen, Linda and Shirley continue to exemplify attentiveness, care and compassion. Many old time customers might not be used to getting their pets blood drawn and/or getting a swab test, but guess what, sometimes it needs to be done to get a proper diagnosis or rule something out. All the "extra" things this clinic recently did to help properly diagnose and treat my dog probably saved its life. Let that sink in. Much love to this great staff and may Dr. Tang rest in peace! read more

Unfortunately Dr. Tang passed away last year. It was truly a loss for the entire community. Dr. Dempsy has taken over. I had experience with her from a few years ago when she would work with Dr. Tang as the second vet and she is awesome. I am so thankful that someone familiar has taken over and it's someone I can trust. The prices have increased slightly but it is still very reasonable. I am very happy with this office and the experience. read more

I have been going to this place for years. My family has gone for over 20 years. Unfortunately the vet passed away a few months ago. He was great and was inexpensive. Now the new vet is charging 10x more it sucks for the great and kind staff who stayed because this place has become way 2 expensive. ​ read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! The new management is focused on making money rather than caring for the animals. They are purely profit-driven now! If you care for your pets, take them with a more caring team. My aunt had a similar experience 2 months ago. She brought her dog in and they attempted to charge her around thousands of dollars after saying management had changed. She had better care for a fraction of the price elsewhere. On top of that, Shirley (front desk) was VERY rude and dismissive during our interaction. For a veterinary office, the lack of compassion was really disappointing. For a cash-based, non-insurance-oriented business, they need to reevaluate how they treat their clients and patients. Word spreads quickly in our community, and unfortunately, this has left a very negative impression. Our whole family/friends used to trust and bring our pets here, but after these experiences, we will no longer be returning. read more

New doctor on board and we are very pleased with her. After we had one our dogs there around Christmas time, she called use a couple of times just to make sure she was getting better. Staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

I have been a customer of Dr. Tang's for over 10 years, and I'm absolutely gutted to hear of his passing. Dr. Tang was one of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever known. I always had complete faith in him and his abilities as a veterinarian. He truly cared, not just about the animals, but about the people who loved them. He was always very efficient, professional and to the point. His staff have always been so patient, gentle, and understanding. Every visit felt like being in good hands. Dr. Tang never once took advantage of anyone -- his prices were more than fair, and his integrity was unmatched. I am completely heartbroken. It's hard to put into words how much he meant to me and to the countless others (furry and non furry) whose lives he touched. He was one of a kind. Rest in peace, Dr. Tang. You were deeply appreciated and will never be forgotten. read more

I just heard about Dr. Tang passing and feel a bit like I lost member of my family- he took such good care of all 3 of my dogs over the last 23 years.

Had a great experience here after another vet was unable to do a procedure. Dr. Tang was serious, but kind, and got along with our dog who is usually nervous with new people. He explained everything very thoroughly and we were aware of all costs for recommended treatment, with all options given. The front desk staff was friendly and communicated well by phone and in-person. Very satisfied with treatment and we are staying with this clinic!!! read more

I just found out the Dr Tang just passed away a few days ago. I'm so sick about this. He was such a wonderful vet. The best ever and had the best unbelievable prices. He didn't care about money only cared about helping your pet. Such very sad news and for the community. I don't know where I can find another such a great Dr. He loved animals so much and would pick up strays and you would see them roaming around in his office. read more

Dr. Tang is a magician! His bedside manner may not be the best, but he is SO GENTLE with my doggie that I don't care! My dog can turn into "Cujo" is an instant, but not with Dr Tang. This man is a wonderful vet! read more

I am another customer of Dr Tang's who's devastated that he's no longer with us. I'm imagining him in the afterlife surrounded by pets that he helped in his lifetime. My love Bella would be one of the first next to him. Bella who lived an additional 2 yrs after her cancer diagnosis, thanks to Dr Tang's care. We're going to stay with Best Care Pet Clinic, now that we've learned that Dr Dempsey and Mr Moore are continuing on. We haven't met them yet, but if they are anything like Dr Tang, we'll be lifetime clients. read more

Late review but better than never. Dr. Tang took care of our dog for many years. We had a Maltese and poodle mix. We always had great experience with Dr. His prices are very reasonable and he was always available. Unfortunately, we lost our dog due to age. We appreciate and recommend this clinic without any hesitations. Highly recommended. read more

My heart is broken to learn of Dr. Tangs passing. I have been going to him for over a decade with multiple doggies. I even had an unexpected passing of our Snoopy while at his office and he (and his staff) could not have been gracious towards my daughter and I. He was straight forward, incredibly knowledgeable and completely honest. He was the only truly honest veterinarian I've ever met. I have sang his praises for years. I would drive for over an hour just to come to him. My sincerest condolences to his loved ones and staff. You you held your profession in the highest regard Dr. Tang. Thank you for everything. You are missed read more

Very saddened to hear Dr. Tang's passing. He was our fur babies' doctor for 20 years. He was compassionate, caring and a good human being. He didn't see us as Dollar signs rather pet parents who needed his help. He was fair and kind. We are very sad and don't know where we are going to find another vet like him. Rest in peace Dr. Tang and thank you for your service for so many years. read more

A Tribute to Chloe Final Journey with Dr. Dawn Dempsey. We recently had the honor of meeting Dr. Dawn Dempsey, who is currently serving as a relief veterinarian at Dr. Yue - Kuang Tang's office following his recent and deeply felt passing. Dr. Dempsey, a former associate of Dr. Tang, has stepped in with grace and compassion as the clinic works to reorganize and carry forward Dr. Tang's remarkable legacy. Last week, we were faced with the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Chloe, after 15.5 wonderful years. Though we had only just met Dr. Dempsey, her warmth, empathy, and professionalism made a world of difference during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. She took the time--real time--to walk us through Chloe medical condition, discuss options, and offer the kind of support that goes beyond clinical care. Her gentle presence and sincere compassion made this painful process a little more bearable. Dr. Dempsey may have been new to us, but in those final moments, she showed us the heart of a truly dedicated and caring veterinarian. We're grateful she was there for Chloe--and for us.

Dr. Tang will be deeply missed. He was very professional in his demeanor, but had a heart of GOLD! He practiced Veterinary medicine to a higher degree than most people caretakers. through his actions in practice, he was the voice of our loving pets. Dr. Tang is the absolute most caring Veterinary Doctor my wife and I have been fortunate enough to know. He has taken care of our various pets for almost thirty years, always with the upmost care Between Dr. Tang and his staff, we feel privileged to have had our pets in the care of this practice, and most importantly, deeply honored and thankful to have known Dr. Tang as a truly wonderful person. read more

My family and I are devastated by the news of Dr. Tang passing. We saw him on Saturday, the day before he died and he was ok. I cannot believe that was his last day on earth and last time we got to see him! So heartbroken! He was an amazing vet for all our fur babies for over 23 years. His staff is just like a family to us! We'd love to attend his memorial and honor his service to our Glendale community. Such a great loss! read more

How are people still going here? Don't be fooled by the five star reviews. Read all the one star reviews this place needs to shut down they kill pets with prescribing wrong medication. . If I can give this place a 0 I would. Not sure how this place is still in business and the Dr still has his practice license. Unprofessional Dr and staff, super rude careless. Over a month ago took my dog here because it was a less expensive place for some treatment. Was given some medicine that made my dog sick, went back and forth, finally took him to another vet but was too late his issue became worse. Took my dog back home with more issues. A month later issue become worse and worse after coming to this place. So the other vet gave some options to treat him and I was told today was my dogs last day. You go to a vet to get treatment yet come out with a huge bill and medication that kills your dog. This place needs to close down. Read the other bad reviews before coming here. read more

I have never felt more comfortable in a veterinarians office then I have here at Best Care Pet Clinic! I brought my dog in because he was scratching himself non-stop and I tried everything. I walk in and the staff is very helpful. Linda and Julie operate the front desk and manage the appointments and were able to get me an appointment early in the morning. Best part about the whole office you actually get to see Dr. Tang and he's very one on one. Calm collected and very professional, he tells it how it is, which I respect. All and all my worry was turned to relief. Had to get two shots for allergies and the itching and I was set to go. Quick, professional, and personal and truly felt like they were looking out for the best interest of my little guy. read more

The office staff is so kind. I like the no nonsense vibe or the vet. He comes in, gets down to business, and tells it like it is. My dogs are never scared to go for their check ups and don't even flinch for their shots. Highly recommend read more

We have been with Dr. Tang since 1997 and are absolutely heartbroken to hear of his passing. Reading all these stories really resonated with me. We first found him after spending thousands on useless testing for our Dobie. One visit with Dr. Tang and he looked at our dogs stomach and said he was allergic to the food and had us change it. He was also with us during the foxtail issues that eventually took our dobie from us and helped us take him over the rainbow. He also paid for my friends dogs surgery when his dog repeatedly kept breaking his leg and my friend ran out of money. Dr. Tang reached out to a surgeon he know who placed a titanium plate in him and Dr. tang wrote a $1000 check to cover the surgery. This man was a SAINT. Never made me vaccinate my little chi. And she's almost 20 years old and has barely had issues. She's tip toeing towards the rainbow and my heart hurts I don't have him to turn to. Dr. Tang I'm sure all the furries were there to greet you. A life well lived, sir. That's how it's done! read more

This vet is truly one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met. My husband has been bringing his pets here for over 15 hears, and now we bring ours too. Yes, he may come off as serious or stern at first but don't mistake that for a lack of care. He is deeply compassionate and truly committed to doing what's right for the animals. He never tries to upsell and goes above and beyond every time. I've seen people bring in dogs they were ready to put down over treatable issues and he stepped in, not for money or praise, but because he cares. It breaks my heart to see people misunderstand his demeanor because he's one of the most selfless and dedicated vets you'll ever meet. If you care more about the well-being of your pet than small talk or sugarcoating, this is the place to go. I'll never take my dogs anywhere else!! Also, every single member of the staff is amazing!! Quick, caring, and always so helpful. You can tell this entire team is there for the animals, not just the job. Truly the best vet clinic I've ever known. read more

I am not one to ever write a negative review but I haven't had a poor experience like this in while with a business. My cats first visit at the clinic was a few months ago, where everything went fine. 07/23- her second appointment, given circumstances on my end and on the company's end she was late on receiving her vaccine and they explained they need to start over which I agreed and we proceeded. (Mind you no explanation from the clinic was given about the vaccines protection life during the first visit). Moving along, before her second appointment, the man at the front desk CALLED to confirm my appointment and asked if I could even come 30 minutes earlier which I agreed. (Let's not talk about the fact that they told me to come 30 minutes earlier but made me wait 45 minutes + to be seen that day) Anyways, their soonest appointment is minimum a month out, given their circumstances which I totally understand. Fast forward 08/16 I called because I remembered she had a vet appointment and wanted to confirm when. The woman on the phone states: "Her appointment was on 08/15 and that they sent me an email to confirm" then proceeds with, "we always confirm through email" followed by a $50 invoice they sent me (ya right). We all know calls get recorded, and they have always confirmed via telephone and even have called more than once when unconfirmed. Honestly, save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. It seems like they just want you in and out of that door as soon a possible with minimal guidance and explanation. Not to mention, they want their clients to work around their circumstances, but lack customer service themselves. read more

I am so heartbroken to hear of the passing of Dr.tang! He was a fantastic vet, who always prioritized the animal and wasn't out for a cash grab! He gave me the best guidance when my cat was passing. while his bedside manners might not be the greatest every time, I would rather have someone be honest and straight forward instead of sugar coating or encouraging unnecessary procedures or tests that won't do anything! I'm so so sad and don't know where I will take my animals now! Rest in peace Dr.Tang! You were an angel to all of my my babies and you'll be greatly missed read more
