    I used to highly recommend this place, but unfortunately something has changed…read more I've been bringing my dog here for years and was always happy with the service. My most recent experience, however, was extremely disappointing. I was about 15 minutes late to my appointment and was told they wanted to cancel it because of the delay. The problem is that when the appointment was scheduled, I was never told that being 15 minutes late could result in cancellation. What makes this even more frustrating is that almost every time I've come here, I've personally had to wait 30-45 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. The bigger issue was the pricing. When I scheduled the appointment two weeks in advance, I was told that because my dog is now 10 years old, a veterinarian examination was required. I was quoted $75 for the exam, plus approximately $60-$70 for the vaccines and anal gland expression. We discussed the pricing over the phone, so I arrived expecting that approximate total. Instead, I was given a bill of approximately $230 for the exam, vaccines, and anal gland expression. In previous years, I had paid around $63 for the same routine services. When I questioned the significant price difference, I was given explanations about increased costs and expenses. I completely understand that prices can increase, but the customer should be informed of the actual price before the appointment, especially when I specifically called two weeks in advance to ask about the cost. What happened next was even more disappointing. I decided to move my dog to another veterinarian and asked for her medical records. Instead of simply helping me with the transfer, I was questioned and accused of potentially altering the records using AI. I was honestly shocked by that accusation. After being a loyal customer for years, this experience completely changed my opinion of the practice. I'm not upset that prices can increase. I'm upset about the lack of transparency, the inconsistent communication, and the way I was treated when I questioned the charges and requested my dog's records. I'm now looking for a new veterinarian where I can feel that transparency, honesty, and trust come before making a sale.

    Thank goodness for Northridge Pet Hospital. We've been…read morecoming here since we moved to the valley in 2021. One of my Pomeranians was born with afew health issues and this has been the only veterinary clinic that he wags his tail to get in the car because he knows he is going to see Maya and his girlfriends (lol) In our house we have to spell the word "Vet" because he gets soooo excited to go We feel so very loved everytime we go in there and in an economy of rising prices...I've noticed that this lovely team of women always take the time to break down the cost, keep prices reasonable and explain everything we need to know about medications and treatments. They truly care about both my boys and all other pets! Thankyou NPH...you have us for life!

    On December 1, 2025, my pup looked at me, and I knew it was time. Our family had called upon Dr…read more Gonzalez before, so there was no question in my mind who to call again. Unlike our previous experience where we were able to book ahead of time and plan for our pup's passing, this was a circumstance where our baby needed immediate services -- his body was failing. Once I saw our senior 13-yr old pup was telling me it was okay, I called Dr. Gonzalez at 7pm. She was at our home by 10pm. Our pup had been sick for several years, and in that last week, our primary vet had already told us his health was declining, so we at least knew the end was near. And I had already mentally prepared to be strong and let him go when he needed to -- so I had Dr. Gonzalez's number on hand. We live in an apartment building, so we reserved a spot for her in our lot as close as possible to an exit. She came upstairs to our home, and she had brought all her equipment. I had already imagined how I wanted this experience to go for my once in a lifetime soul pup. I sat on his favorite place on the sofa, and I had him in my lap. Dr. Gonzalez gave me a pee pad to wrap around him within the blanket understanding there could be an accident in the process as his body released his spirit. I had a candle lit. I had soft music playing. We had low lighting on to honor what was about to happen. Dr. Gonzalez was also super accommodating to our 2nd puppy who was curious about her and wondering what was happening to his big brother. She didn't shoo him away -- she invited us to keep the puppy around so he can know his big brother was about to pass on. She gave us time to speak to Nuxx, love on him, and then let him go. Then, it finally happened. And Dr. Gonzalez stepped out of our apartment for awhile, giving our little family time to grieve, sob, and hold our baby close. Our puppy sniffed him too and said his goodbyes. Then she came back, and she asked us if we wanted to be the ones to carry him out or she was happy to do so. My husband carried him, myself and our puppy followed along -- felt like a procession down our apartment hallway. We got to Dr. Gonzalez's car, and we gently placed our baby's body in her car, and said our goodbyes again. Then...it was done. Throughout the experience, Dr. Gonzalez was so incredibly supportive, gentle, understanding, and patient. What else can you ask for when such a heartbreaking thing is occurring? When a spirit is literally fading in your arms? I am still not over losing him, but at least I know we gave him the most peaceful send-off we could: in his own home, in our arms, surrounded by so much love. If / when we need to go through again, I will continue to call on Dr. Gonzalez. RIP Nuxx.

    We are grateful to Dr. Gonzales at Gemcore for helping us through one of the most difficult moments…read morewe have ever experienced. Dr. Gonzales was professional, compassionate, and helpful. She took the time to explain the euthanasia process clearly and gently, answered all of our questions, and helped us understand what to expect. Having someone so patient and caring with us during such an emotional time meant a great deal.

    Im surprised the reviews aren't better because we have a fantastic experience today with our boy…read moreMuncie. We were seen 15min after our apt and Dr Pitts was kind and caring. Muncie had a laceration and his ear and we were taken care of within 2 hours of closing. Muncie had to be sedated to get stitches and all was done in a fast time, even with a busy waiting room. I highly recommend this vet and well be back for any other needs.

    My cat Sam was 17 years old. She was given an injection two days ago for her eye issue, she had…read moreconstant eye discharge. After the injection, her breathing became labored. She could not eat or sleep. She suffered for two days, I brought her back as a walk in first thing Sat morning. The assistant checked her and said I needed to take her to an emergency facility. I almost gave in, but I asked why Dr Pitt can't see her? After all This happened after he gave Sam the injection. The assistant then said Dr Pitt can see Sam. Another helper came in to take her weight, I asked why? The weight was taken two days ago. The people work there don't bother to check the history, and it is a life or death matter! I could not bear to see Sam suffer more, so I refused more tests, X-rays. I request to let her go. But I want to be with her at the last minutes. Then another assistant comes in to take her away. They robbed me the last 10-15 minutes to be with her!!! I do not want her be terrified without me, but that's exactly what they did. They take her away!!! I am crying hard even now. When they bring her back,her tongue is hanging out, they have given her tranquilizer. Then doc comes in to give her the injection, she is gone in seconds. I am crying because they let her last 15 min on earth being so sick and fearful, without me holding her. I only know afterwards they take her to be catheterized, they put a needle in her forearm. They treat a dying pet with no mercy. I am heartbroken. Spent $1000 in two visits. My Sam is forever gone. Dr Pitt has a good reputation, I am not disputing that. but I am extremely angry about the way Sam was handled her last 15 min on earth.

I have been bringing my dog to this clinic since he was about 2 months old, and unfortunately, the quality of service has declined significantly over the years. On July 9, I brought my dog in for allergy treatment. I spent over $365 on the visit, including allergy injections, yet his condition showed little to no improvement. At checkout, I was told to bring him back for a follow-up within 14 days. My invoice clearly showed the follow-up exam fee as $0. However, when I called to schedule the follow-up, I was told I would have to pay $65. When I questioned why the invoice listed the fee as $0, no one could provide a reasonable explanation. It felt like the clinic was making up policies as they went along. Another frustrating issue was the inconsistency in how appointments are handled. During my last visit, I was suddenly told that my dog would be taken to the back and examined there instead of in the exam room with me present. I explained that this had never been their normal process during the many years I've been coming here. I even showed photos from previous visits where the veterinarian examined my dog in the exam room. I had to argue my case because they initially wanted to charge me for a doctor examination while only having a technician take my dog to the back, allegedly because they were running behind schedule. The lack of consistency, poor communication, and unexpected charges have completely eroded my trust in this clinic. As pet owners, we rely on honesty, transparency, and compassionate care. Unfortunately, I no longer feel confident that this clinic provides those things. After many years as a customer, I will be taking my dog elsewhere. I hope the clinic takes these concerns seriously because pets deserve better, and so do the families who trust them with their care.
