I had to write another review for Dr. Fab because she truly is an extraordinary veterinarian…read more When I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my beloved Marley, there was no other doctor I would have trusted more to help us through that moment. Dr. Fab is one of the most compassionate and caring veterinarians I have ever met. It is obvious that she genuinely loves every animal she treats, and that love shines through in everything she does. She treated both Marley and me with incredible kindness, patience, and empathy during one of the hardest days of my life. She made an unimaginably painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be, and for that I will be forever grateful. If you are looking for a veterinarian who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply compassionate, I cannot recommend Dr. Fab highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Fab, for loving my sweet Marley and for helping her cross the rainbow bridge with such dignity, gentleness, and grace. I will never forget your kindness.

We have now seen multiple vets at Encino Vet over the past 4 years, and we are truly so happy with…read morethe care they give our sweet babies. Here is my incredibly honest review: Dr. Lopez, Dr. Rosso, and Dr. Fab are all AMAZING. Each of them has made us feel genuinely seen, whether we're in for a routine check-up or something worrying. They take real time during visits to make sure we're heard, and they work to get to the root of an issue without jumping to worst-case scenarios. I'll have a really hard time if we ever have to move and leave this practice. A special thank you to Dr. Rosso, who recently got to the bottom of an issue with one of our cats and had her feeling better right away -- we're so grateful.

Note: This review is for DENTAL services only…read more My vet doesn't perform dental services, so we brought our kitty in to Healing Touch for a teeth cleaning. We chose them due to proximity, reviews, and the no anesthesia approach. We were happy with the service, and will definitely use them again in the future. The only reason one star was docked off the review is the lack of evening or weekend availability for dental service. (My husband had to work around his work schedule to take our kitty in.)

Complete scam and money grab. I called to schedule acupuncture for my dog who was end stage kidney…read moredisease. I was told that in order to get acupuncture I'd have to agree to an exam for $189.00 and this didn't include the acupuncture. They said this included a nutrition consultation. I spent about 4 hours there that day, mostly waiting. I don't know why bc there were no other clients there the whole time. There was no nutrition consultation. It was a dog food salesperson pitching his company's food and trying to make a commission off me. The vet said my dog had "raging heart disease" and that doing sub q fluids could kill him. They tried to sell me over 5,000 worth of scam including blowing air up my dying dog' a**. The things they tried to sell me were not necessary or helpful and some would have been harmful to his already frail condition. They wanted $700 for the "raging heart disease."In the end they scammed $300 out of me for the fraudulent exam and the acupuncture. After I declined to be further scammed, they were clearly done with me. The acupuncture, if they even did it, was about 5 min long and had no effect on my dog. Nobody even came out to tell me how my dog tolerated it or anything. I went to see my amazing regular vet the next day who confirmed that my dog did not have "raging heart disease" and that I should continue with the sub q fluids necessary to support his kidneys. Not only is this place a scam but they will do actual harm to your pets. These are the types of vets that make people distrust vets and then it's the vet profession as a whole and the animals who suffer for it. They should be ashamed and quite frankly out of business. They took advantage of my vulnerability in that my dog was dying. Nobody there wanted to help my dog. They wanted as much money from me as possible even if it meant making my frail dying dog worse. I believe it was Dr. Kay I saw fyi.

At no point did we feel like we were an inconvenience, even though the staff stayed nearly three hours after closing to care for her. The entire team did an amazing job explaining the surgery, recovery process, and home care instructions. They answered all of our questions thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication gave us so much comfort during a very stressful situation. Thank you for going above and beyond to save my dog's life. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend this veterinary to anyone looking for exceptional care.

I would not recommend this place!…read more Before driving over, I called and specifically asked what the exam fee would be. I told them I was only about 15 minutes away and was coming straight in. I arrived exactly when I said I would, and the price had suddenly changed. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch. If your pricing changes at a certain time, tell the customer when they're on the phone and saying they are on the way, not after they've already arrived. When I questioned it, the manager was unprofessional and unwilling to honor the price their own staff had quoted me just minutes earlier over the phone. There was no accountability and no attempt to make the situation right. I can easily afford the difference, but that's not the point. I don't appreciate being misled. I told them I was deeply disappointed with how they handled the situation and that I would be leaving an honest review. They didn't seem to care at all. I genuinely feel bad for the owner if this is the level of customer service being provided. The worst part was that my dog was sitting there in pain while we argued over something that should have been simple.I left and went to another veterinary clinic down the street, where my dog was seen within minutes and received excellent care. If a business won't stand behind the price they quote over the phone, it's hard to trust them with anything more important. I imagine their final bill would have been ridiculous. Thankfully, I didn't stay long enough to find out. I won't be returning, and I hope this review saves someone else from wasting their time.

The last thing you want when your fur baby is suffering is to reach voicemail after voicemail. Hearing a compassionate human voice on the other end of the phone brought me so much comfort. She came to my home first thing the next morning. I was worried about my younger Golden Retriever jumping on her or interfering with her care, but she was absolutely wonderful with both of my dogs. She encouraged him to stay in the room with us once he was comfortable with her, and I truly believe that helped him understand what was happening. She was incredibly professional, but I'll never forget one small moment. Out of the corner of my eye, while I was saying my final words and paying my last tributes to my girl, I saw her quietly wiping tears from her eyes. As a healthcare provider myself, I know how often we're expected to wear a mask and stay composed. Seeing that genuine emotion didn't make her seem less professional, it reassured me that she truly cared. In those final moments, your mind races. You question whether you're making the right decision. Seeing her emotion gave me peace because I knew she wasn't simply going through the motions. I knew that if she believed my girl wasn't ready, she would have told me. Most of us are fortunate enough to experience this kind of heartbreak only a few times in our lives. She carries families through it over and over again. That takes an incredible amount of compassion. Thank you for your kindness, your empathy, and for helping my sweet Lilo leave this world peacefully and with dignity. Please take care of yourself, too. The first photo is the day Oliver met Lilo as a puppy, their first photo together. The second was taken just before the veterinarian arrived to help Lilo pass. I didn't realize until later that I had unknowingly captured both the beginning and the end of their story together I will miss my Lilo for eternity.

My (third) senior pup and I are so looking forward to see Dr Gonzalez again this week for his 6…read moremonths preventative / well-being check up.. This is not my first review of our beloved Dr G, and I just recommended her to 6 more people again just these past 2 weeks. I always say to people I give her card to: "you will discover she is an Earth Angel - if she moved to a different town, I'd take my pup there... When you find a great vet, they are Gold! She's not only compassionate, present and knowledgeable, but also she does not oversell." Besides all the regular check ups, Dr G. has performed 2 substantial surgeries on my pup in the last 8 years, and has been extremely kind, providing valuable reassuring step-by-step updates throughout, especially aware that I had lost my beloved first dog, (with a different vet), when he did not make it through the anesthesia... In the 8 years Dr G. has been our one and only vet; everyone I have sent to Dr G. has fallen in love with her, and has thanked me for the referral. I trusted Dr G and her small compassionate team with the euthanasia of my precious second dog, Handsome. She is truly an Angel on Earth. At her Chatsworth location, I love that she's created a lovingly cozy "home environment" for the euthanasia experience. That it so needed during that deeply emotional time, and more veterinary offices ought to follow her example. I found her many years ago when I was dissatisfied with a busy veterinary front desk in Sherman Oaks, after they had made errors in my first dog's chart. Unfortunately he passed, and I learned that finding the RIGHT professional truly makes ALL the difference. So yes, I drive from Sherman Oaks. Gratefully so :) I am thankful that my cherished pups are her patients. Her ethics, her care, her kindness, her knowledge, her integrity - she's our number 1!!!

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm leaving this for a friend who lost her beloved senior dog…read more The care and attention we received by Hannah Ro at the front desk was wonderful. She is so sweet and was on top of getting us updates. Her client care is on point. I am thankful for someone like that during a time of grieving. I'm only knocking off a couple stars because there was a pair of other employees at the front desk, one had a badge and was in business casual so I'm guessing she was a supervisor of some sort. I should have gotten their names but one was African American and the other Hispanic with pink hair. They were basically cackling and gossiping while we were getting checked in. It felt very unprofessional, like they were having a grand old time at a dive bar. The wait was long and there were people waiting for their injured babies for hours and stressed about the situation. I talked to a couple of them while I waited for my friend to arrive with her baby. I could hardly hear what they were saying over the conversation those two were having, which had nothing to do with anything. It was so inconsiderate, and to think this might be a person in charge of a team is terrible. They were so comfortable acting that way in front of a lobby full of concerned pet parents! Do better access!! Once my friend arrived and we spoke with Hannah we felt more comfortable, and she made the check in and check out process quite smooth. Natalie and Dr. Jung were also so sweet and patient with us. These stars go to them!

The prices were always fair-- almost cheap, honestly. Everyone we ever dealt with has been wonderful. They've tried to always accommodate my dog when we needed an unexpected last-minute appointment-- which was kind of a lot because she had a few health issues over the years. They were always so nice and loved on her even though she was a bit of a bad girl. When we had to put my dog down very unexpectedly, they tried very hard to save her. But also, they were honest about no heroics. I mean, they really could've gotten a lot of money out of me to save her, but Dr Moon was honest that it was time to let her go. Over the last nine years, they were all just so good and sweet to her. To be honest, even driving by there, I kind of want to cry even though it's been a few months. But I will always be appreciative to everyone there for being so good to my dog.

My puppy didn't need to have another booster for a year. Spent money on unnecessary procedure and I felt so guilty for putting my puppy through a shot he didn't need. On top of that, they asked me to come back in a month later for ANOTHER BOOSTER SHOT!! They are very eager to schedule your next appointments but wasn't competent to take proper care of my puppy.

I was surprised I hadn't written a review but here you go:…read more If you're looking for a vet who genuinely cares more about your pet than your wallet, this is the place. I've been bringing my 19-year-old pup here for the last 6 years, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else. Having a senior dog comes with its fair share of challenges, but every time we walk through those doors, Dr. Oh gives me peace of mind. Somehow I always leave thinking, "Okay...my old man is going to be okay." My pup has struggled with seizures for the last three years, and instead of immediately pushing expensive treatments, Dr. Oh recommended natural supplements that have made a huge difference. We went from about two seizures a week to only every several months! Now that my sweet old guy is dealing with doggy dementia, Dr. Oh has continued to be amazing--recommending affordable supplements, giving practical tips to keep him safe at home, and helping me make the best decisions for his quality of life. One thing I appreciate the most? No nickel-and-diming. I never feel pressured into unnecessary tests or treatments. If something isn't needed, he'll tell you. That kind of honesty is hard to find these days, and it means everything when you're caring for a senior pet. The clinic is always clean, and the staff is kind, patient, and genuinely attentive. They make every visit as stress-free as possible. Located on Sherman Way & Van Nuys Blvd, inside the shopping center with Pablo's, Dunkin', and Otto Sushi, with a large parking lot so finding a space is easy. Thank you, Dr. Oh and the entire Van Nuys Pet Clinic team, for helping my old guy enjoy his golden years. You have cared for him like family, and I'll always be grateful.

My little pup decided to do some "parkour" off the furniture after the midweek fireworks scared him, and he suddenly became completely non-weight-bearing on his back leg.Dr. Oh was absolutely amazing. He wasted no time getting X-rays, quickly diagnosed a hairline fracture, and thoroughly explained everything to me. Thankfully, surgery wasn't necessary, and we have a treatment plan to help him heal. Every single person we encountered showed genuine care, kindness, and compassion not just for my dog, but for me as a worried pet parent. The clinic itself is adorable too! I loved all the cute pet photos decorating the office and wish I had taken more pictures because it has such a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Dr. Oh and the entire Van Nuys Vet Clinic team, for taking such great care of my little guy. We truly appreciate everything you did and couldn't have asked for a better experience during such a stressful day.
