I am saddened to hear this amazing clinic has closed and truly hope for only the best for Dr. Son -- she deserves so much gratitude for what she did to help so many cats and their people. I just wanted to leave this in hopes that Dr. Son and the staff might see it and know they made a real difference. Dr. Son is an incredible human being, and I am deeply thankful for the end-of-life comfort she provided my senior cats. Before I found her, when my soul cat was rapidly losing weight, we had gone to another clinic where they produced paperwork explaining the thousands of dollars I would need to spend just to reach a diagnosis. It all felt so cold. Then I went to Dr. Son. She quickly ran a few tests herself -- on the spot, in front of me, no removing the cat to another room where they come back stressed -- and told me she believed the diagnosis was cholangitis. A definitive diagnosis would require an expensive and, more importantly, painful biopsy that was unnecessary at my cat's age (15 at the time). Instead, we could start treating what was presumably cholangitis and focus on maintaining her comfort and happiness in the years she had left. With Dr. Son's help, the treatment kept her comfortable, lowered her kidney levels, and we had almost three more years together. So many overwhelming problems arose during that time with my two senior cats -- but Dr. Son would send me home with IV fluids, emergency medications, vitamins, over-the-counter suggestions, and diet recommendations. All of it was very affordable; I believe we were paying near cost for many things. I was able to care for my cats at home, empowered by Dr. Son's knowledge and kindness. I've seen negative reviews here about availability and curtness, and it saddens me. This clinic was truly in service of the animals. They were squeezing in as many appointments as possible, and Dr. Son was answering patient questions on weekends and evenings as well. Galloway had not been bought out by venture capital like so many other clinics that prioritize profit -- they were dedicated to providing cats with truly affordable, compassionate care. Thank you, Dr. Son and the staff at Galloway, for the dignified end-of-life care you gave my best friends. I can't tell you what it has meant to me and my family. read more

Praying for you Dr. Son. Thank you for caring for my feline friends. Your kindness, hard work and determination to keep cats healthy and happy is not lost on us. I hope for the day we can call on you again, but first take care of you. God speed, dear lady, Dr. Son. read more

So shocked and saddened to learn about Dr. Son and the closing of Galloway. She is the most caring vet I have met and I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for Roland. I procrastinated bringing Roland for his annual check-up in October and only learned today of the closing. Everyone at Galloway is kind and attentive. I hope Dr. Son is OK and wish the very best her. I will try to monitor the opening on the mobile clinic. Meanwhile, can anyone recommend another vet. to use? Thank you. John Raatz read more

Thank you so much Dr. Son for all that you do! I started bringing Charlie in a couple of years ago and Dr. Son was really a god send. She always took care of Charlie and never pushed anything that was unnecessary. You can really feel her love and care for all the cats that come through her door. I'm saddened by the news of the clinic closing but I'm glad I was able to bring Charlie in and see Dr. Son and the staff before they closed. Please take care of yourself Dr. Son! You've taken care of all of our pets with warmth and love for so long. You are truly one of a kind. I just found out that there is a GoFundMe page for Dr. Son's mobile clinic. Please donate to her page and help the cause if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/f/dr-son-galloway-cat-clinic read more

I'm so happy to learn that Galloway Cat Clinic became a mobile cat clinic, now coming to your door to care for your cat. I've been taking our cat to Dr. Son since she was a 4-month-old kitten (now 10 years old), and now our second cat as well (2 years old). Dr. Son and her staff have always been nice and professional, providing the best and appropriate services at a very reasonable cost. I'm so glad they're not gone. You do need to book an appointment a few months prior, but I would not take my cat to anyone else as long as Dr. Son is available. You can tell she is truly a cat lover, too. Our second cat is very scared of strangers, but she did just fine meeting Dr. Son. She really is a cat whisperer. read more

My two black cats love Galloway! A great thing about this place is they are cat only & are appointment based. No barking dogs or other cats around when bringing them in. This helps decrease a lot of stress for my cats because they are the only ones in the clinic at their appointment time! Prices here are pretty reasonable to me: $55 per cat for a check up! You can tell that they set prices well & don't try to take advantage of us pet owners. They also handle our cats so well! Our cats were a little stressed but they do a good job of trying to keep them calm and still. The vet is kind & caring & we have also had great experiences with the vet techs here. I would definitely recommend bringing your cats here!! read more

Very nice clean place and very loving to the animals ,Dr knows how to work with cats that may be hard to work with this DR is Extremely professional and knowledgeable on handling difficult cats read more

I just called to make appt for my newest fur baby. I hung up and really wanted to cry. I was in shock. Like all of you, she took care of our babies with love and kindness. I'm so mad at myself for procrastinating and not making appt to see her one last time. Thank you, Dr Son. You're an amazing person. You were always there in am emergency. We all you! read more

Would not recommend this place anymore! They book your regular appointments half a year in advance because they are "always booked", had a cat die because his regular checkup was pushed so far out that could have prevented his death! Tried to take my new cat in and the person at the desk had the audacity to instead recommend a "low cost clinic" in San Pedro when I never asked for a recommendation...then she proceeded to not offer an appointment and instead rant about how they are not "seeing new clients" and how I can "text" the dr to "see if she can even see my pet" I hope this business closes, it's false advertisement and they do not care about your pet!! Please do not go here, save your time and try someplace new! If I could give ZERO stars, I would!! read more

We've been bringing our three cats to Dr. Son since they were just 8 weeks old. Now, at 8 years old, they're healthy, thriving--thanks entirely to her compassionate and expert care. When we first rescued them, we showed up with a cardboard box as a carrier. Without hesitation, Dr. Son kindly lent us a real one from her clinic. That small act of kindness meant so much--it was our first glimpse into the kind of person and veterinarian she is. We'll deeply miss her. Thank you, Dr. Son, for your years of dedication to our cats and to the cats of Torrance community. You're truly one of a kind--an irreplaceable doctor, and an even more remarkable human being. read more

I've been bringing my cats to Dr. Son for years, and she is truly an amazing veterinarian. She genuinely cares about her patients' health, is always incredibly responsive, and goes above and beyond to fit them into her busy schedule during emergencies. I feel so fortunate to have her as our cats' doctor and will always appreciate the exceptional care she provides. I've seen a few negative reviews from people who couldn't get an appointment due to her busy schedule, but that's only because she's outstanding at what she does and in high demand. Her staff is also consistently kind, helpful, and professional. Dr. Son and her team absolutely deserve five stars. Thank you so much for your exceptional work and dedication! read more

We're saddened to learn about Dr. Son's health condition. We're praying for her health. Even though we may not be able to see her as often, we would love to keep in touch with her new bussiness. She is the kindest Doctor that we've met, and our cats have always received the best of care, in sickness and in health. God bless her and her staffs. read more

Vet was too busy to help when it was really urgent. Unresponsive when we needed her the most. I took my Sr. Tabby there. We had been in a few years ago a couple times. So we got an appointment due to a cancellation. My kitty was hiding under the bed, weak, and uninterested in food. After this visit I got her meds. Her office guy was cold when I did so. I was told she was too busy to see her. I spent about $200. However, ended up spending much more at an Animal Hospital who actually did save her. I thought highly of Galloway before. I cannot recommend them after the treatment we received. I even sent pics of my cat's eyes. She was having a terrible allergic reaction. But all I got was ignored. Zero stars if I could. read more

I echo Christ V's rating, I will admit Dr Son, IF SHE WILL TAKE YOU, is cheap and actually quite good as a vet, but if for some reason she doesn't want to see you, too busy, you have too many cats, she just wont see you and tells you to go somewhere else. I had been seeing her for years as a loyal customer we got along great then for some reason (my cat had cancer and she did surgery) but the surgery didnt work then she wouldnt see us anymore! And as far as that goes, if you're needing anything beyond normal, like surgery, go to a specialty clinic. After surgery, due to surgery, my cat was low on blood (too much blood loss) which when I took her to a specialty clinic they realized right away and got my cat a blood transfusion (which Dr Son cannot do). Dr Son never told me this could or would happen. My cat ultimately died soon after. So the surgery should have worked (I had been told this by other vets) but I think this is beyond her capabilities and then she wouldn't see us anymore. She's really good especiially cause of her prices, but if you need anything beyond normal care beware and know that depending on how she feels she may just drop you and refuse to see your cat! So not a good person and you should know that! read more

Love having a cat only vet available in the South Bay! You can tell Dr. Son understands cats. She never tries to upsell you and does what is truly best for the animal My cat is a big baby, and at the vet he is an absolute nightmare because he is scared. Dr. Son told me that it is almost more harmful to bring him in for an annual check up than to not have him checked on at all, Especially right now while he is very young and healthy. I appreciate her honest advice and that she never tries to push services that are not needed. Lastly, the prices for medication's and visits are extremely fair. I feel like I get ripped off at every other vet I have ever been to where Galloway really is a fair charge for what the services are. Thank you so much Dr. son and staff! read more

I've been with Dr. Son for over a decade. I always believed she knew what she was doing and I trusted her to care for a few of my cats over the years. Tonight I had to take my 12 year old Maine Coon to Access emergency hospital. Thank goodness I did because he could have died. He was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Dr. Son said to give my cat 3 units of insulin 12 hours apart. I had no idea cats could get diabetes. I gave three separate injections of 3 units as instructed over 36 hours. I noticed my cat begin to sway when he walked and knew something was wrong. I researched the amount of insulin cats should be given and was shocked! You start at .25 or .5 and SLOWLY increase but never go over 2 units! I got in touch with Dr. Son and asked about the dosage and she said "find a new vet and pick up your records at the front desk." I'm still reeling from that exchange. The emergency vet said if I had waited much longer we would have gone into a comma. His blood sugar was 60 (80-120 normal). His body was about to shut down. To think I could have killed him is beyond terrible. Dr. Son never explained anything about hypoglycemia or any warning signs of giving insulin. I'm already $4,000 in with his vet bill. In the moment you don't care and pay the cost. Dr. Son was always affordable but it's a wash now. She was irritated when trying to explain the regime to me and when I tried to repeat or make sure I understood during the "how to give an insulin shot and dosage" lesson she snapped at me twice and said "I already told you that!" I'm still trying to wrap my head around almost losing my cat and Dr. Son's reaction to a question! She has been a good vet for routine things, but I'd caution going to her for anything else. She is cheap, but not worth losing your cat for! read more

This vet is amazing! She got antibiotics for our little Tiger right away for her URI! This vet really loves cats. read more

Dr Son saw Mr Rochester for his urinary issues as a last minute appointment booking. Her exam was thorough, she was very clear with me about his condition and what the plan would be. She supplied him with a new diet and medication to help him out and scheduled his follow up. What I love about this office is how kind everyone is. From the front desk, Chris the gentle technician, and Dr Son herself- everyone is so compassionate, kind and calm. My cat is a stress ball and he never minds visiting this office. Their energy agrees with him! It's a wait and see situation for Mr R but he's already feeling so much better! A million stars for Dr Son and her team! read more

Best cat vet hands down. Dr Son is the ultimate cat expert and cares so much for kitties. My cat was losing fur and I brought him to a different vet before I knew about Galloway, and that vet just gave me essentially neosporin... I did have to wait a few months before I was able to make the initial appointment because they are booked and busy (for good reason!). When I brought my kitty to Dr son and right when she saw him she flipped him over and pulled out a single flea! When my other kitty wasn't feeling well, he had to have some blood drawn and Dr Sons vet tech was so composed and the process was so quick my cat didn't even realize that it had happened by the time it was over. I am consistently amazed by Galloway Cat clinic and will continue to make the drive no matter how long! read more

I went here for flea meds a week or 2 ago. I gave half a pill to each My cats and to this day they still have fleas! Cats still itching themselves like crazy and im getting bit up on my legs! I tried to call them and even texted dr sun with photos of my cats bitten up tail and sores where hes ben biting himself to get the fleas off. I haven't herd from her since This month on the 6th that I texted her! I UNDERSTAND they n she are busy but someone should have atleast texted me or called me back before the 7 days its today! I vacuumed the house washed sheets n stuff sprayed flea killer from vets best n no results. Im hopeing for a refund or get another brand of flea meds I can give them but they don't call people back! This is fusterating cuz the longer I haveto wait the worse it can get like they can develop worms n I don't wanna haveto pay more money for the meds that could have ben avoided if given the correct flea meds .. I've tried to call other vets and they are also fully booked so yea this is bs to me. read more

My cat is very skittish and does not like vets. Knowing this, I was very stressed about how she would behave during her first exam which was a senior exam at Galloway. We were shown to the exam room within minutes of the appointment. Dr. Son walked in and scooped up my 16 pound baby and kissed her on the head. Bella didn't move a muscle. She cooperated with the weigh in, blood pressure check, ultrasound examination and urine sample collection. I was astounded and took a photo to show off to my friends and family. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Son. She tries to keep her prices fair and be accessible to all and I for one appreciate her care. My cat, Bella, thinks Dr. Sin is pretty cool too. read more

Based on all the good reviews, I called today for a wellness check for my elder cat and was told very abruptly that they were not taking any new patients and had not been since last year. What the heck? Wonderful to hear how great they are, but it would be nice if they posted that information about lack of availability. Guess I should have read the other 1 Star reviews about their customer service. I guess they are victims of their own success. read more

Best vet of all time! Dr. Son is amazing and genuinely cares about helping your cats be happy, not like other places where they just want your money. She's caught so many things that other vets have ignored or failed to diagnose correctly. My cat's life changed after her teeth extraction surgery. She turned from a quiet cat that hides all day into the most energetic, sassiest cat that loves to play. I'm so so grateful for her and everyone at the clinic! My husband thinks the guy with the tattoos is super cool too. Love this place. read more

Now that I have a regular vet for my cat, I feel comfortable writing a review for Galloway. I brought her here for her annual checkup. The doc was SO confused as to why I would do that, as if you should only go to the vet if your pet is having an issue. Her assistant was also extremely dismissive with me, I had a lot of questions and he gave curt answers. He made me feel like I was a crazy person. This place was really strange to me. My visit lasted 5 minutes, max. What kind of an annual checkup is that? read more

Galloway Cat Clinic is the finest cat clinic in South Bay. Dr. Son and her team will do everything necessary to ensure that your cats are happy and healthy (keyword: 'necessary' -- she will never order unnecessary tests and she will never overcharge you to keep your cats the healthiest they can be). Frankie, our baby (male cat), is totally comfortable around Dr. Son and always knows he is in a safe place whenever we visit Galloway Cat Clinic. We have also brought 5 street cats to Dr. Son for out-patient neutering/spaying, blood work, and chipping. She has treated every one of them gently and lovingly, performed the services perfectly, and charged us very reasonable prices. Galloway Cat Clinic is the only clinic to go to if great health at an affordable price is your goal for you cats. read more

Best vet ever!! No bullshit charge, straightforward, always get the job done. Galloway Cat Clinic honestly wants nothing but the best life for your cats. If you want your cat to get all the unnecessary tests & check-ups, this clinic is not for you. Because they are too busy to help other cats who really need their help. read more

I love Dr. Son and they treat my boy Angus so well! You can tell the doctor is a cat person and she cares about their well being. Angus had old medical issues and sometimes I worry about his cyst coming back, and the doctor remembers that and urgently helps him even if they're booked months ahead. She is always ready to help sick babies. I go there bright early like 7 am and the Dr. is already there every time. The hospital is her priority, which includes all the kitty members that frequent this fine establishment. And affordable too. Like she chooses fixing the cat instead of beauraucracy. To those saying she's busier now than ever,try to understand that growing pains that occur when business is doing well. It's not easy to simply hire another doctor or expand a staff, because finding reliable colleagues and assistants can be difficult. It's easy to say, but in reality it takes time. read more

About a week and a half ago one of our two cats began urinating outside of his litter box. After doing a lot of research, we learned that the reason might be due to a urinary tract or bladder issue. After doing some research and speaking to others, I learned of Galloway. Everyone raved about how amazing Dr. Son and her staff are. Well, they were right! I called and spoke to Megan, who was incredibly kind and patient. After explaining my situation she worked diligently to get me in to see Dr. Son as soon as possible. After getting an appointment in the not to distant future, Megan provided me with some tips/suggestions to try prior to the appointment. Based on my experience thus far, I could clearly see why Galloway is so highly regarded. So on appointment day, I brought my cat into the office and was immediately greeted by Dr. Son, who was very friendly and welcoming. Within 5-10 minutes, my cat was being given a thorough exam by Dr. Son and Vet Tech Chris, who was extremely nice and gentle with my little four pawed buddy! The exam included a ultrasound and even the trimming of all of his nails. Dr. Son identified this issue which was NOT a medical issue, but rather a behavioral issue (territorial). She spent a good amount of time explaining how to address the issue and also provided some helpful tips to help keep my little guy happy n healthy. I didn't feel rushed and could tell that Dr. Son (and her staff) really cares about animals and it shows. Finally, her fees are remarkably fair and affordable. I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Son, her staff and her Clinic (which by the way was immaculate!!). read more

My cat and I loved the vet at this location. Being that it is a Cat only service there is never any worry about confrontations with other animals. Service prices are very reasonable.

One of my cats had very bloody stools, but I was told the soonest available appointment was 6 weeks away. Not acceptable for a sick animal. read more
