Everyone here has been extremely accommodating! They helped me figure out exactly what my dog Butters needed. Super friendly and helpful staff! Thank you! read more

Brought my dog in recently for an exam and imaging. The staff was friendly and the process was overall smooth. The doctor took time to explain findings and next steps, which I appreciated. The clinic itself was clean and didn't have that strong vet smell, which I think helped a lot because my dog wasn't even scared during the visit. Pricing was discussed upfront and they were able to fit us in quickly, which helped given the situation. My dog was handled with care throughout. Overall, a good experience and I'd consider coming back depending on future needs. read more

Brought my puppy here for her first wellness visit and had such amazing experience! From the moment I called to make an appointment I was met with amazing customer service. We walked in we were greeted right away and helped out! We got seen almost initially making this whole experience so fast and easy. The nurses and doctors are so friendly and comforting! I was actually recommended to come by my sister and I'm glad I listened to her, this will definitely be my permanent vet office! Thanks again to all the staff for amazing service and friendly faces! read more

The staff is great! Always nice and so accommodating! So glad I found them to take care of my kitty

I am beyond flabbergasted with Brighter Veterinary Center. The lack of accountability, customer service, and transparency is just unbelievable. I took my boyfriend's cat to ultimately receive an antibiotic shot and topical cream at a clinic for a second opinion on Mymy's paw as it has been about 1 month post-op closing up his open wound.. For the past 6 months he has been gnawing at his paw and it turns out that he has basal cell carcinoma in his paw/leg that has also possibly spread to his shoulder area. This was diagnosed with the prior vet clinic and clearly communicated to BVT. I also purchased what was recommended, which was a cat cone to prevent him from licking/biting his paw and eventually lick the plastic cone versus his soft cone which appears to have degraded due to his incessant licking over the past 4 months. The tech or assistant placed the cone on Mymy and asked me if the plastic cone was long enough. I was absolutely floored because one would think a tech who works with animals should know the different lengths of cones and what each length would prevent certain actions. Being the consumer who paid $220 for the visit, the cream, antibiotic shot and the cone, shouldn't be expected to know this information. Up to this 6 month challenge, 4 of the months, soft collars have only been used. I have attached pictures for reference. By the way, this same tech/assistant, a week later, refused to disclose her name when I told her I would be writing a review about the situation. So the issue I'm writing this review about is that Mymy did end up bypassing the cone and gnawed a great amount on his paw. As you can see in the pictures I have included, the date of service was last Friday and by the next morning on Saturday (at 7:57 am), a good portion on the proximal end of his paw pad was gnawed on. Picture has been included. I was so irate bc this was the exact situation that ended up requiring Mymy to have a surgery to close up the area. To make matters worse, the vet clinic refused to ultimately refund the cat cone that wasn't long enough to prevent my cat from gnawing at his paw. The sheer ignorance of the worker who refused to provide her name is unbelievable and ultimately the whole experience is a complete slap to the face to refuse refunding the cat cone after their clear lack of medical knowledge to prevent further damage to Mymy's paw. I believe that the owner or main vet on the premises just took over the practice. He was a traveling vet prior to taking over. That would have been great to have known because then I would have chosen another vet clinic... I felt even more duped bc the reason why I chose this clinic over others was due to it's high ratings. I overheard the information while I waited in the lobby. Which by the way, the staff eventually sent me to Room 4 to be told that they will be refusing to refund the cat cone. Guess they didn't want the others in the lobby to hear the conversation, especially since this could have been completely prevented if the right sized cone was placed on the cat. I will also add that it was my complete surprise that they didn't refund despite being told that I was going to write a review about the situation. The lady who refused to provide her name, unprofessionally raised her voice and stated, "Go write your review" and stormed out. Again this was the lady who mistakenly placed the cone that was too short for the cat. Shame on you... I wonder if the practice is cutting financial corners to the point of hiring workers who are not trained in a legal way. Perhaps assistants do not need prior training... I am not aware of any of the credentials that are needed for an assistant to be working in a medical office. Just unbelievable... if I was that worker and I made that mistake... I would have paid out of my own pocket to make up to a financially struggling couple who is struggling all together, especially after a near $2,000 surgery for Mymy's paw. To make matters worse, my boyfriend had gone to switch out the cat cone for a slightly larger one (10 to 12.5 cm) as I was told that if it was too short to exchange the shorter for a larger one. Because he forgot to bring the cat cone, he purchased a second one, and now we have two cones (the second one we never even used) that they will not refund.. let alone the original one. So frustrating. Never will I go to this clinic... read more

Super friendly staff, talented doctor, and quick fast appointments. Helps that they are open on Saturdays

The staff was very professional and pleasant, but the veterinarian, Dr. Ock had terrible manners, was so rude. I brought my dog for a wellness exam and he started criticizing our care, telling me all that he was missing, which is fine that's why I brought him in. Had he said, I suggest you get this and that, I absolutely would have done it, but he kept scolding me about what my dog was missing. I was there to bring him up to date on blood work, shots, etc... Anyway, I have an appointment somewhere else and will never return to this place. read more

My dog and I found a new vet care after moving to SFV. The place is large enough to accommodate other furry pals. Space is bright, clean, and doesn't smell like a vet clinic. This is located in a mall, and parking is shared with other businesses. I guess the price for a check-up, blood work is pretty close to what I used to pay for in South Pasadena. Getting an appointment was very easy. You have to call and speak with someone. They do have an IG account, but you do have to call when scheduling an appointment. Staff and Dr. Chang were friendly enough. read more

I can't say enough great things about Brighter Veterinary Center! My dog, Clifford, unfortunately tore a ligament or two while playing, and needed an extensive TPLO surgery. When I first asked my primary vet if they performed this type of surgery, they let me know they didn't--but they highly recommended Dr. Ock at Brighter Veterinary Center due to his expertise in orthopedic procedures. Initially, I went to another specialist that a relative recommended, but I was completely shocked when they quoted me $9,000-$11,000 for the procedure! I knew it would be pricey, but that was beyond what I expected, even with Pet Insurance I felt that was a bit much. That's when I did some research and reached out to Brighter Veterinary Center. From the start, they were incredibly accommodating--I was able to get an appointment quickly, and after some X-rays and diagnostic maneuvers, they confirmed that Clifford's right CCL was torn and needed surgery. I'm so glad I got a second opinion because not only was the care exceptional, but the pricing was also far more reasonable. Scheduling Clifford's surgery was smooth, and the entire staff--from the front desk team (Cassandra, Louie, and others) to the techs (Jack and more) to Dr. Ock himself--made the process as stress-free as possible. What really sets this place apart is that they also offer rehabilitation services. I've scheduled Clifford for red-light laser therapy, which helps with pain management, inflammation reduction, and wound healing--so I'm hopeful this will speed up his recovery and keep him comfortable. Clifford still has bi-weekly check-ups to ensure the TPLO plates and screws are in place, and every visit has been a positive experience. The team is always welcoming, and Dr. Ock is incredibly transparent and informative, taking the time to explain everything and walk me through Clifford's treatment options. Even though I'm a newer patient here, I can wholeheartedly recommend Brighter Veterinary Center. They are professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable, and they genuinely care about your pets. If you're looking for a vet that provides top-tier care without outrageous pricing, this is the place to go! read more

Dr. Ock is very knowledgeable and thorough. I appreciate his passion to treat my cats with the right treatments. He has saved my kitties not only with their constipation but also is knowledgeable about various options of supplementation such as pro-biotic and other support methods and isn't interested in just medicating your pet as a first go to. I appreciate his dedication to finding the root of the problem and will continue going here. read more

We really appreciate the warm, friendly staff and the fair pricing. So happy that we found this place.

If you want to take your pet the same day they will "squeeze you in for $75 extra". I think I will pass. I wonder if they will also force you to add a 15, 20, or 25 percent tip after the service. They don't answer their phones but respond to text messages. I will go somewhere else. read more

I had a great experience at this veterinary clinic with my 12-year-old dachshund. We came in for her rabies shot and a blood draw for a general check-up, and the staff was very kind and patient with her. Since she's a senior dog, I always worry about stress, but they handled her gently and took the time to explain everything to me clearly. The vet was professional, caring, and knowledgeable, and I really felt like my dog was in good hands. The clinic was clean and well organized, and the whole visit went smoothly. I truly appreciate how much they care about both pets and their owners. I would definitely recommend this veterinarian to anyone looking for quality and compassionate care for their animals. read more

We had our dog that had a luxating patella issue. The vet recommended double knee surgery. We did it and regret it ever since. It's still not better. He still limps. It was not worth seeing him suffer just to have it not work or help with anything. It was very expensive and really gutted our finances for no reason. Thought if we would wait that it might improve over time like he said. Nope. Still not better. I feel like you can tell by his stitch work that he's not very precise in his surgery. We can't recommend this Vet. read more
