The very best vet , Really nice man who cares , I went to him for years and he was always good with my cats and dog

This has been my main vet since I got my dog 6 years ago. It's a pretty decent pet hospital if you want to get your yearly vaccines/puppy vaccines. Went today to get my yearly shots for my puppers and paid $188 (3% transaction fee for credit card). The Doctor is pretty old and moves slow so I don't know if I would trust them to do surgery but definitely okay for your basic needs. My dog hates the vet and screams every time so they gave me a muzzle so he was easily able to get his 5-6 shots in 30 seconds or so without biting the doctor. Not bad. They also didn't charge me when they couldn't get X-rays of my dog when he was having problems last year with his bowel as well as gave me free laxatives which helped him. No huge complaints yet. They've always been pretty friendly to me but their hours seem to cut down now and close at 2 pm, it used to be 4!! read more

I had a great experience here! Took my cat in about 3 weeks ago. Doctor listened to our concerns and provided my cat with some shots and medicine and she is now up and about. Thank you so much Doctor! God bless you! read more

Always closed hours posted here and on site aren't reliable here it says 9am and outside their door also says 9am-2pm when you call ofcourse no one ever answers voice recording says they open at 12 and now only by appointment no walk ins. read more

I've been going to this vet for many years. Prices are good and the doctor is very knowledgeable and won't overcharge for things that aren't needed. The doctor is able to tell you what is wrong with your pet just by telling him symptoms. read more

This place is trash! I dont know how he got to be a doctor! Such a stupid thing. Properly they bought reviews because they are not professional! My dog was in emergency case, her face all swollen and threw up. I called them and they let us in then the doctor straight out said some rude stuff as she got shocked when he appeared and barked at him once then i said she's friendly and he said to you only, then i said no to everyone then he started giving me attitude and tell me to go to another vet! No explanation whatsoever, the room is dirty and smelly, he's old and looks like he knows nothing about vet! Please do me a favor by not coming here. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR PET STAY ALIVE read more

Disappointed that vet told us our dog had to be trained to go to the vet! Our dog went to 2 years of obedience school. He was scared and shaking. read more

DON'T TAKE YOUR YOUR PETS HERE! Vet is rude and an absolute JERK! He threw my puppy off the table after he needed stitches from an injury. Called me a piece of shit, refused to help my dog. My puppies injuries are worse after this evil vet hurt him even more. His staff is just as bad & heartless. I would give zero stars if possible. read more

This review is based on a first visit as a new patient. I called because I found a lump on my dog. This was the first clinic that was gave me an immediate appointment for the next day. Upon arrival- this clinic is old school (physical files, the place is worn down, only one person running the clinic aside for the vet). The vet was very kind and friendly towards my dog and I. First impressions he looks like he cares about the dog and the owner. Reasons why I wouldn't return: I didn't feel comfortable moving forward (drawing labs and scheduling for the biopsy) after reading a review that he didn't catch a previous dogs cancer even though they did what he recommended (which were labs and a biopsy). Taking this into consideration I will be taking my dog somewhere else to move forward with labs, biopsy, and surgery. The prices are extremely high in comparison to other vets (double in price). Labs here was $250 while at another clinic is $110. The surgery doesn't include anesthesia and medicine. The visit costs $45. Please refer to pic for prices. read more

i was impressed in how the staff and the Vet are genuinely care for our pet; dr very polite, discussed that is to be done proceeded with kindness and even my cat was not upset; Thanks for all the work and kind support read more

Please do not take your dog here. My dog is dead. We were told the surgery our dog had here was most likely the cause. He died within a day of his surgery. He died because of an issue that wasn't even of concern to the doctors we've taken him to. I know it may be the best price you see, it might be the closest, but the money and time you save will not replace the life of your best friend. read more

Thank you for always accepting us last min and being so affordable. Everyone is always so patient and nice. And did I mention, always affordable. read more

I came by to get a sterility form for my dog since my city was asking for one since I neutered my dog 2017 I had to go in for a new form. FYI they only keep files up to two years so I made an appt and had the doctor confirm my dog was neutered here. Thankfully it was fairly quick check and didn't have to pay, but I made the appointment at 12:30 during my lunch break and wasn't seen until 1:30PM. Everything was striaghtforward thankfully but if you make an appointment I'd anticipate waiting longer than your allotted time read more

DO NOT COME HERE. THEY MISDIAGNOSE! Please proceed with caution if considering this as your choice for your pets healthcare. Our dog was brought here because he was in a lot of pain, not barking, eating, walking and was crying. The doctor took bloodwork, gave him an injection for pain and prescribed him medication for a stomach infection. We were never called back with the results of the bloodwork. So I called and they said it came back fine. I told them he was not doing any better. And the doctor said to me over the phone, well give it a few more days. Nothing is wrong with him. We ended up taking him to another hospital and turns out he was MISDIAGNOSED! He never had a stomach infection. An ultrasound was done and he was suffering from something completely unrelated. We were charged over $400 for bloodwork and medicine while the new hospital we took him to charged us $150. Less than half. That place was much cleaner and professional. read more

Our beloved mascot passed away and they were very empathetic and consoling. They only allow 2 in the room when they put an animal down however they have a viewing window from the waiting room in which family members can view the transitional process of your beloved family member. I apologize to the family with 10 yr old boys who saw our group of 8 say goodbye to our old boy. read more

i brought my 6 month old cat here for vaccines and neutering, for some reason i decided to check the reviews on yelp after i dropped him off, i got crazy paranoia after reading most of these, i thought i was gonna get a call from the hospital telling me he died or some shit and then i would have to throw hands but he was fine and he's recovering pretty fast, i think they hired better staff idk (minus one star because i felt like it) read more

Love Dr Tremazi and his staff! I've been to other locations where I waited a very long time and the vet did not care and give attention to my pet. But Dr. Tremazi is by far the best! He really looks at every aspect of my dogs and answers any and every question we have without rushing us. His price is reasonable and he is very honest when doing a check up. He doesn't add unnecessary fluff and charge for ridiculous minuscule things unlike other vets. I support him and have referred friends and family to his practice read more

Hi there well I took my 1 year old husky to get nurtured. When I got her back she was not able to walk out on her own and the gave her back use and did not even give use any instructions on how to care for her. That was Thursday evening. Friday she was getting weeker but drank alot of water which did not help. Saturday morning she was getting worse. I called the Garvey medical hospital they told me to take her in on Monday morning. But unfortunately she passed away Saturday night from international bleeding from one of her stiches coming loose. That's what the 24hr animal hospital I'm passadena told me. I hold the Garvey pet hospital responsible for her death. They have not even called me to see how she is doing. So with that being said do not take your dog or cat to the Garvey pet hospital in el monte. read more

If only I could give negative stars. I brought my dog in because she was experiencing excessive vomiting (9 times). I told the Dr.Tremazi that my dog may have been exposed to the toxic Sago Palm and requested activated charcoal. He said it was too late for that, which was untrue. He performed a panel, which wouldn't be available until the next day. I was sent home with an antibiotic and anti nausea med. Six hours passed, my dog grew more lethargic. I decided to call another hospital and ask for a second opinion. They quickly referred me to animal poison control, which Garvey Animal Hospital should have done in the first place. I called and my dog was rushed to another animal hospital at midnight. She is struggling with her liver now and the survival rate is low for animals that consume this plant. If the vet would have referred her to experts, my dog would have a better chance in surviving. The vet called the next day saying her blood work looked bad, honestly if you don't know how to deal with a situation refer patients to the experts. Sago Palm poisoning should be dealt with immediately and the quicker you react, the better chance your dog has surviving. I strongly discourage other pet lovers from visiting this Veterinarian! By the way, the other hospital provided my pet with activated charcoal, IV fluid, liver medication, glucose monitoring, and she is being hospitalized for 72 hours. read more

I was stressing because my dog had a ingrown nail on his foot and I didn't know what to do and I thought it would be a good idea to take my dog to the vet because every other "normal" person would think that . they charged me 45$ just to look at him like I didn't already tell them my dog had a ingrown nail they were trying to charge me 225$ to make my dog take the pain with out him feeling it and my dog was going to feel "calm and sleepy" I didn't agree with my dog going through that so I left and they just took the 45$ that I really actually work hard for and not just see some dog get hurt and think I'm going to get paid just because we had the same knowledge yes he has a ingrown nail I made it clear why would you want to charge me for something I already knew ? but anyways didn't get my money back fine . but I do have my dog healthy with me right now with no ingrown nail and not stressed about the money I was going to spend for people that didn't care about my dog just worried about the money that came with him . I went to petco got nail clippers and just did it my self without putting my dog to sleep or putting to waste 225$ that I was going to be stressed about getting back .. now im not stressed and my dog isn't stressed... you guys only helped me in not to care about your guys opinion, just because you get paid to work at a job full of animals you love doesn't mean your doing the right things to them . like i said my dog did not have to feel sick after doing something good like cutting the nail off he feels good right now cause i was able to help him without getting sick my dog will never need you guys .... to the lady that called me dumb for not knowing what "consolation fee" means I want to let you Know that your the dumb one for thinking your supposed to be getting paid for just looking at a dogs foot cause if that was the case I would've been rich ... I was asking for help not for my dog to feel bad after clipping his nail because That's what you guys were really doing there . But yet you guys are getting paid for doing the opposite of good but you care about animals ? Make it makes sense you guys are really the dumb ones for thinking your doing the right thing to pets and still getting paid for it on top that's evil money your learning. read more

Garvey Pet Hospital - This is my dog in my care . - Veterinarians Near Me - El Monte, California

Very unprofessional and rude Veterinarian Doctor. I went in to check my dog's eye because I was able to walk in(other appt was a week away), he recommended some medication and I asked some questions/concerns about the prognosis to get a better understanding of the problem. I told him sure, give me the meds according to his recommendation. He proceeded to asked me what other pet hospital I go to, I told him. I think he got offended or something with me asking questions. He then told me I was doubting him and told me to see another Veterinarian... pretty much shooing me away.My pet has to go without meds for her eye for a bit longer now. He has no concern for my pet at all! This old man should just retire if he doesn't give a damn about animals. Dirty, run down place too, says a lot about the practice. Stay away from this place! *I wish I had read the bad reviews before coming here, it exactly describes how my experience went. read more

This vet doesn't know what he's doing. My beloved cat died under his care. I spent more than 500 bucks for exam and blood test and when the result came back, he didn't have any explanation why my cat was sick. He prescribed some antibiotics and my cat died a few days later. I'm surprised he's still in business. read more

This is not the best place for your pet. Please get a second opinion elsewhere. They sent my dog home for two weeks with the same symptoms and did nothing with a very poor prognosis. By the time we went to get a second opinion it was too late. We wasted two weeks and money here. read more

I've been taking my pups here for years but after our last appointment here, NEVER AGAIN! Now I have to find a new place, for the safety of my pups. PUPS' REACTIONS I have two shibas. My 3yo cream shiba is terrified of this place and kept shaking so badly that I've never seen before. Her first and second vaccinations, she bled pretty badly-- from vaccine shots! My 5yo black and tan shiba screamed from her last annual shots. They hate this place and as a pet parent, I felt so bad every time I brought them here. The doctor is getting old and I'm not sure if he knows what he's doing anymore. RECENT LAST VISIT Recently, there are new front desk workers that I haven't seen before. When I arrived, I gave my name and pups' names for our appointment and they were unprepared and unorganized. They made me pay upfront and added unnecessary vaccines to their annual vaccination and said it's recommended. Besides that, I only needed one rabies shot but she said I needed two, when my other pup didn't need it yet. We waited around for an hour and they kept taking in new patients! My boyfriend and I were fed up and asked them why they weren't taking us. They assumed our pups had already gotten their shots. But why would we be waiting around?! We got our money back and left. Wasted time and almost wasted money. FYI, they love to secretly charge for every little thing and change pricing or give unnecessary vaccines whenever they feel like it, so be aware. ABOUT THIS PLACE This clinic is very unsanitary. Often it smells due to other pets. It can get really crowded with pets and people on some days. There is barely any air circulation and gets pretty stuffy, especially during warmer seasons. They don't clean the floor often because we found feces on the floor in the waiting area. Nobody would want to around that. read more

I took my coco for a tumor surgery. If we still proceed with the surgery its possible he won't make it. So it best to put him to sleep. I'm gladly that I took my dog to Whittier Animal Hospital instead and coco survived the surgery (: (DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!! read more

I took my furbaby in as an emergency and was told he broke his back. I left him so tjeu could take X-rays and give him meds, for a few hours. I picked him up in the afternoon and was told he was paralyzed due to slipped disc. Was NOT given any care instructions, just meds for 2 weeks and possible expensive surgery in TWO weeks. NO INSTRUCTIONS whatsoever. I had to ASK for a copy of X-ray, which they refused to give me, even though I was charged $200 for them. Was told I could take a picture if I wanted. So I did. I even had to ASK for a receipt and a letter for work. Still. No instructions. 3 days later, I took my doggy bag because he wasn't eating and still in a lot of pain. All I was shown, in a matter of 3 minutes, was how to press on his bladder to force him to urinate. Sadly, my baby died almost a week later due to an infection CAUSED because of the negligence of this doctor. Today I called for some compensation for services not provided. This dr refused to help me. I am thinking legal action for negligence or malpractice. Is this how they care for all their patients? Horrible medical service. The dr cared nothing for my suffering dog. Just my wallet. read more

All the other animal hospitals in the area are super booked-up or request large deposits, but Garvey Pet Hospital was very accommodating when we had an emergency (our indoor cat got out and was wounded on her tail). The doctor was quick to diagnose the issue and prescribe needed treatment/surgery, and he also scheduled two follow-ups to check on the progress. The assistants were also very kind and took time to explain the needed medication and pricing. The office seems quite small but is actually very well-run and efficient, especially since they are willing to slot people in last-minute. Overall, was a good experience and our cat is pretty much fully healed with no further complications -- even after a surgery, stitches, and two weeks of medications (both oral and topical). Thanks Garvey Pet Hospital!! read more

Garvey Pet Hospital - Mittens after surgery! Still sleepy from the anesthesia - Veterinarians Near Me - El Monte, California

I took my cat to get spayed and I get her back swollen. I thought it was normal until I took her to the hospital later that day because she had started bleeding from where her stitches are. At the hospital they had told me it might be something that went wrong w the surgery and the cone Garvey Pet Hospital gave me was too small for her and that's most likely how she reached it. Luckily the Glendora pet hospital was able to give me antibiotics and pain medication for her. read more

Wow this place suck I would never EVER bring my dog here I would definitely pay more and see a good vet Do not go there it's a total waste of your money and the place stinks read more

First trip to the vet, I brought in our a cat to get his vaccines and to be neutered. No appointment needed. Quick and easy check-in. The first receptionist this particular morning didn't seem all that welcoming. Although, later that after noon Paula helped me check out and she was by far the sweetest and very helpful. I asked about getting something and instead saying "here, BUT it's extra!" She informed me it was only an option and that there would be a cost. I'm glad to know they aren't just looking for a quick buck. I look forward to bringing our car in when needed. read more

Smooth Cat Neutering Process. Dropped off cat early morning and picked him up in the afternoon. I was given thorough explanation of his recovery process.

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE IF IN PAIN OR VERY SICK. I brought my border collie, the doctor did a blood panel, stated he had a high white blood count, that It was a pancreatic infection and anemic, gave him two shots and medicine. My dog was still in pain, making weird coughing noises after two weeks. Brought him back gave him another dose of antibiotics and cough medicine, didn't bother to listen that he was in pain. He just said he needed and ultrasound and told us to find one. Didnt even bother to help us find a place, called everywhere and no one had soon appointments. My dog got worse took him to the hospital and and right away the doctor told us he had blood in his belly he was bleeding internally, had numerous of tumors/ aggressive cancer. How can a doctor miss this with his white blood count!!.. unbelievable. We sadly put our dog to sleep!, I regret taking him here. Btw the bottle in the picture they will charge double the cost when you can just buy it on Amazon. He said my dog was anemic, yes he was anemic because he was bleeding this whole time and you didn't even notice!!! DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE, this place doesn't even deserve a star at all read more

Price is cheaper than a lot of places. Place is a bit old fashioned and outdated. Veterinarian has experience dealing with African wild animals so that's cool. He's a bit on the older side and sounds a bit monotone and dry. He is honest and is straight forward. You just get in and out. For basic things like a wellness check and shots, this is the place. But for anything that is heart wrenching, don't expect a lot of empathy and comfort, I would go elsewhere if you need that comfort and support . Overall still a good place to go. read more

This place is great for emergency pet visits. My cat had a recurring UTI and the office let me bring her the same day. The Dr. didn't beat around the bush with a diagnosis of her urine and since there was no blood present, she just needed a round of antibiotics. I wish it were the shot as opposed to pills but it's better than nothing. Super affordable visit compared to an emergency vet place. Will be going here for minor needs going forward. read more

AMAZING the Front Desk Receptionist was SUPER pleasant, kind, patient and informative, I just can't get over how nice and respectful she was; with all people in businesses behaved like that. The Dr was very personable, kind and gentle. I was so worried but he put me at ease. This is just a small little privately owned clinic and I totally fell in love with it. Parking is a bit tough but it's worth it !!! They were quick to see our Cat Cookie and gave him the Best quickest care. I will definitely recommend them and make them our home Vet office. read more

We brought our cat Theon Greyjoy here during their morning hours because he had an abscess on his hip. Their initial examination cost us 30$, whereas, everything else (which included the procedure, anesthesia, and take home meds) came up to the grand total of $270.00, which I believe to be reasonable given our boy's condition. Their staff was friendly and informative, the doctor was also kind and professional. The interior of this place is very retro yet calm. Hardly any parking out front, so to avoid stressing your animal arrive during their morning hours or have someone take your pet inside while the driver looks for parking. We are due for a return visit soon to close our boy's open wounds. Fingers crossed for a swift and painless recovery! *Edit: Went back in to get stitches for our boy's wound. The stitches cost us $75.00, and they placed about 3 to close the hole on his side. Going back to have them removed in 10 days! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE. IM SAVING YOU A HEADACHE AND MONEY PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT COME HERE. Our pets are our babies we want them to be taken care of and loved.

She got fleas from here, the doctor is no help i continuously had to ask questions to get answers. They give you a bloodwork some medication and charge over 400 dollars. Safe to say for the health of my pet im never coming here again. They are dirty and the doctor could honestly care less. read more
