It's the best of both worlds because he comprehends the western and practices and treats with eastern medicine. My dog Ace was first diagnosed by his vet that he had been seeing for his first 10 years, since I adopted him at 3 months old. His health was great, no hiccups, only one small foxtail in the ear problem. Until his 15 yr old black lab cousin, Bella Dioji passed due to old age and then less than 8 months later, his Corgi/Chow sister passed due to stomach cancer. He had what we thought was a seizure after Bella's passing. Took him to the vet and they said, it was isolated so we just have to keep an eye on it. He then had one on the day we were to take Poochie in to put her to sleep. So we took him in to the vet, they ran bloodwork but didn't really think much of it and said they wanted to continue to watch him. Then he had on the next day and the next. Finally, after taking him in one last time, they suggested I take Ace to a neurologist. We had been seeing Dr. Bittan for Poochie's stomach cancer and decided to bring Ace in as well. He assessed him and asked that we see the neurologist as the other vet had recommended as well. Dr. Bittan directed us to the VCA Specialty Hospital in West Los Angeles. I made an appointment, took him in, they assessed him and immediately, the Neurologist said, she can't help him yet, he has a heart issue. 5 mins later, the Cardiologist came in and from there, it was a rollercoaster. They stabilized his condition then the syncopate episodes (which we originally thought were seizures) started happening again. Long story short, Ace had heart surgery, he did great for a week, then his kidneys began to fail due to the western medicine meds he needed to be on. A few days later, he was lethargic, ok, beyond, he was just laying on the floor, almost lifeless. He wasn't urinating or pooping and I decided to leave him overnight on an IV to see if he could flush the toxins out. Dr. Bittan had finally gotten the test results of the surgery and bloodwork and immediately had Max (his awesome assistant) call to tell me to bring him in. I was on the phone calling different places trying to find a vet that would put him to sleep at the beach, his favorite place. Dr. Bittan looked at him, studied his charts and asked me to commit 5 days to him to try to help Ace. I struggled with my decision, Ace was not Ace at the moment and I didn't want him to suffer. I decided to do let Dr. Bittan have his go at it. He gave Ace a shot, and about 8 different drops to give him every hour on the hour that night. I had to go to the post office so my roommate gave Ace is first dose in the car. By this time it had been at least 48 hours since he had pee'd. We arrived home an hour later and I had my roommate put him on the grass to see if he might want to try. He wobbled a bit, he was week, he hadn't been eating as well. Lo and behold, the little boy pee'd, he pee'd for what seemed to be a whole minute! That was the sign that he was fighting and he was going to be ok. Here I am now, writing this review, almost 7 months later, and the boy is alive and kicking AND happy. Our western medicine and eastern medicine docs communicate and work together to keep my boy as healthy as he can be. He has a couple of very serious conditions that have to be address from time to time but the combination of eastern and western meds have been phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bittan, you won't be sorry.

Pam is a miracle worker and helped to extend my dog's life! She is professionally trained in animal…read moremassage therapy and has decades of experience on all animals and pets (dogs, cats, exotics, etc.). She is a mobile animal massage therapist serving the Los Angeles area (Santa Clarita valley, where we live, to the SF Valley, Burbank, Los Angeles, and beyond). I have been using her services for just under 2 years now. My 13-year old dog Terra was paralyzed in 3 legs 2 years ago from IVDD. The VCA said she may never be able to walk again (they recommended a very aggressive surgery but I declined to take a more holistic approach first). After a few months of massage therapy alongside rehabilitation (highly recommend Zen Den Animal Wellness), my dog Terra did not only walk but would run and jump! It was a miracle! Not only is Pam incredibly gifted, she is very kind, gracious and reasonably priced (packages may be different from time of this posting, but it's about $60 for an hour session/$40 for 30 min session). For this fee she also makes a house visit and brings all equipment with her. Considering I would have paid $12k for surgery (plus pain and suffering of my dog) and instead opted into her services was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my baby girl Terra. HIGHLY recommend! Do not hesitate if your animal is in need - book today! You will be very grateful!

When we were connected…read morewith Dr. Bertolone, she wasn't taking any new patients but she heard what was going on and very kindly extended an appointment to us at her own home. She not only welcomed us in with open arms, but she made sure that we and my dog, Mojo, were comfortable before she began. She was calm, caring, and genuine throughout the entire appointment and really explained all our options and what she was doing thoroughly. She started with gently feeling his body and assessing it, quickly noticing that his spine was probably causing him some pain. We moved onto acupuncture, where she explained all the points that she was doing and how it would benefit him. She also had some treats readily available to distract him as the needles were going in! After about 7-9 minutes, you can visibly see Mojo just... relax. Completely calm. Not squirming or fidgeting. It was honestly like magic. She was able to do cold laser therapy while the needles were in and then she whipped out KT tape.. Which I didn't even know you could do on animals! As she taped his spine, she gave us instructions on how to help him up the stairs and to lower his pain in his hind legs. She also suggested that we start cooking his meals as well with turkey and some sweet potato. After she taped him up, we carried him out to the car where he immediately took a little nap. While we were in the car, she came out with a lot of medicine for him to take for his nausea, alongside some inflammatory medicine and Chinese herbs. Within a few hours of taking the Cerenia that she gave us, he was able to keep food down (which hadn't happened for about 4 days before this, he was throwing up everything he ate). Not only that, he was able to sleep without any disturbance and seemed incredibly relaxed. Dr. Bertolone treated us with kindness and genuinely cared for him. We will always be indebted and appreciative to her and cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for her. She is undoubtedly one of the best veterinarians that we've ever encountered.

From the moment I walked in, he was not only incredibly kind and calm, but also felt like a true gentleman and a deeply caring human being someone who goes far beyond just doing his job as a vet. My bird had fabric tangled around his toes from a blanket, and I was honestly terrified he might lose his leg or need to be put to sleep. We had been struggling for days trying to carefully remove it ourselves, even using scissors, but nothing worked. Dr. Molnar handled everything so calmly and efficiently--it took him only a few minutes to do what we had been struggling with for so long. I still don't know how he managed it so quickly and gently, but I do know my little bird is now completely free, safe, and happily back to himself again. I left feeling so relieved and so thankful. It's rare to meet a doctor who treats your animals with this much care, patience, and heart. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Molnar to anyone who loves their pets. I won't be taking my birds or my dog anywhere else from now on he has truly earned my trust.

Recently, I had the opportunity to find out just how good she was at Chiropractic medicine. I was suffering from lower back pain and had 1 week to go before a major race. Dr. Sharone had me over stop by and within two visits, my back pain was relieved. I am back on track to run the event - which is saying something once you consider that, several days ago, I could barely get out of bed. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Sharone and her expertise. Warm, friendly, caring, and available when you need her. If you are having back problems of any kind, give Dr. Sharone a call - you'll be glad you did!

Because his session lasts 45 min to an 1 hr, I could be with my dog during the session and I don't have to drive anywhere. He also provides discounted pricing if you book 10 sessions. From the start my dog lovedddd Josh! A lot can be said, when your dog is in love with a complete stranger! Josh is very kind, gentle, communicative and does all types of therapy depending on the progress. Within those 10 sessions in a span of 3 months, along with vet prescribed medication, my dog is now able to walk around the whole block without a carrier now! Thank you so much to Josh for helping Peanut get back on his 4 little legs!
