    Before
    afshin a.

    My 7 year old shitzu's skin turned pink and spotty and she started losing her hair after a couple of weeks and I was referred to Dr Dodds. My dog, Pepper also started smelling like a bad odor. After Dr Dodd did a blood test on her, she told me that her Thyroid was low and she gave her Thyroid medicine. I was s thrilled and thought we had found the problem and my dog was gonna get better,, but in a nut shell, she didn't!! We spent almost 2 years waiting and after yet another blood test,, No improvement!!! Dr Dodd had re-assured me that she had found the problem and I trusted her expert opinion. Finally, I took Pepper to Alice Villalobos in Hermosa Beach, who immediately told me that my dog was suffering from a bad SKIN FUNGUS and her condition was a 1 from 1-10 and nearly dying of it!!! She had lost weight from 11 pounds to 8 pounds, no energy, depressed and so on. To make a long story short. I was mislead,, and Yes, I know Dr Dodd has a blood bank and has helped many dogs but She DIDNT HELP MINE!! THANK YOU Dr Alice Villalobos!! You saved us!! I asked Dr. Dodds for some of the over $1000 I spent at her office for allergy test and etc back and she asked me to leave her office! Is that the right way to treat patients that put their trust in you? My dog and I suffered so much before we found help else where. She used to sit, facing the wall depressed for almost 2 years. It breaks my heart! I understand she's helped other dogs but she didn't help mine or even recommended to anyone else. We all can be wrong sometimes but as a professional, I know if my client is not happy, I have to make her happy or they will not return. I will post before and after pictures.

    See all

    There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful my husband and I are to Dr. Eskander for…read moreeverything she did for our sweet Appa. We were incredibly worried and scared about him, and it was such an emotional and overwhelming time for us. From the moment we met Dr. Eskander, she was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring. She treated Appa with so much kindness and love, and she made us feel like we were not alone through such a difficult experience. What really touched our hearts was how much she cared about us too. She took the time to answer our questions, listen to our concerns, and reassure us when we were scared. She helped calm both me and my husband when we needed it most. And then, even after Appa's visit, Dr. Eskander followed up with us to make sure he was okay. That meant more to us than she probably realizes. It showed us that Appa wasn't just another patient to her. She truly cared about how he was doing. As pet parents, all we want is someone who will care for our babies as much as we do, and Dr. Eskander gave us exactly that. We will forever be grateful for the compassion, kindness, and care she showed our boy. Thank you, Dr. Eskander, for taking such wonderful care of Appa and for giving two very worried pet parents some much-needed comfort during a very difficult time. We will never forget your kindness. If you are looking for a veterinarian who genuinely cares about both your pet and your family, we cannot recommend Dr. Eskander enough.

They offer a lot of services and the staff are highly trained and friendly. I came in today to bring my puppy for his routine shot. I was in and out. I was early so I was out early. The place is always clean. Right now. They are renovating the other building and they will eventually be moving to the other building, see photos posted. No complaints just compliments. Thank you for always taking of the real love of my life , my dog

    I can't give enough compliments to this vet. Been here for years and I just realize I haven't wrote…read morea review for this vet because it deserve many many stars. First off thank you Dr. Ash for being informative and especially he always kind and treat animals with care and passion. He never recommend anything that's unnecessary and we - clients appreciate it so much! Neemo has been spayed here and did see Dr many times and been cured here many times. She has good experiences here as well as Ozzy ( though Ozzy is scared of everything, she managed to overcome her fear here so yk the staff are very gentle) If you're curious, prices here are affordable/ reasonable to me. They never push you to do things that not needed atm. 10000% recommend you to come

    If I could give Dr. Ash 10 stars, I would!…read more After many years of sharing my life with cats (including some wonderfully opinionated and very shy ones), I can honestly say Dr. Ash is the best veterinarian I've ever had. Around our house, he's simply known as The Cat Whisperer. Somehow he has this magical "Dr. Ash method" that can calm even my most nervous, difficult cats. Cats that normally hide, hiss, or make everyone work for it seem to trust him. I still haven't figured out his secret! What really sets Dr. Ash apart is the time he gives every patient and every pet parent. He never makes you feel rushed. He explains blood work and treatment options in incredible detail, answers every question, and has even called me in the evening to personally discuss test results. That level of care and dedication is almost unheard of. I also want to recognize his amazing staff. Raquel, Andrea, and everyone at the clinic are always so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Whether they're drawing blood, collecting urine samples, trimming nails, or giving one of my cats a sanitary trim, they handle each cat with such compassion and professionalism. You can tell they truly love what they do. I've trusted Dr. Ash and his team with my cats for many years, and I wouldn't trust anyone more. They treat every one of my cats as if they were their own, and that means the world to me. And here's the highest compliment I can give him: if Dr. Ash ever moved to Timbuktu... I'd be pricing moving trucks the same day. That's how much I trust him. Thank you, Dr. Ash, Raquel, Andrea, and the entire team for the exceptional care you've given my furry family over the years. You are all simply the best.

    It took me some processing time to get to writing this review, but I think it's time now. I took my…read moreShiba pup to this vet about 11 years ago, and then switched vets because I moved further away. In June 2026, I was frantically calling vet offices after receiving an unforeseen and distressing diagnosis for my (then-senior) Shiba at the emergency VCA in Fountain Valley. The receptionist was very attentive and nice, and was able to get us seen straight away in the morning when they opened. Aside from the really great customer/patient service, the lobby was small, but very clean. The atmosphere isn't dreary, which I really appreciated at the time. We were seen by Dr. Acevedo, who was very professional and warm. I explained what was happening to my 11.5 year old boy--he was diagnosed with pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade with ascites--and she explained very thoroughly what they were going to do that day. I did have to drop him off for most of the day and pick him up at the end of it, which I didn't love, but I understand it's because I was basically a very last-minute appointment, and the procedure they were going to do was a drain plus radiographs along with other tests. Unfortunately, as his symptoms progressed aggressively and Dr. Acevedo had results to talk about with me, she let me know over the phone that the prognosis was not good. I then went in, where she showed me the radiographs and gave me a detailed explanation of what she was seeing, and even compared my dog's x-ray to a healthy dog's x-ray to help me understand better what was happening. Dr. Acevedo was very sincere, she told me she's seen this several times before, and the outlook based on what she saw would mean my boy would be in a constant state of recovery. Eventually, I made the very painful decision to lay him to rest with an at-home service with a different practice the next week. Overall, Dr. Acevedo was incredible. Because his decline was so rapid, I was constantly blowing up the phone at her office asking about everything ranging from treatments, to what I should look out for so that I don't wait too long to lay him to rest. Every time, she was very informative and tried to help me with what I was going through with my best friend. Thank you to everyone at Lincoln Animal Hospital. When the time comes, I will be glad to bring my next pup back here. It's worth the drive.

I paid for a visit an ear cleaning and a test for them to look at the ear wax under the microscope. For the vet to say he had a little bit of yeast but didn't not prescribe any medication to teat, when my dog had symptoms of an ear infection. A week later and still no improvement. Looks like we will be headed in to his primary vet to get this treated. Waste of 278 dollars on a visit. Really wish my boy could have been treated the first time around.

Recently my dog needed emergency surgery after getting really badly bit by another dog and even though it was close to closing time and they could have just sent us on to the ER ; they stayed overtime and performed emergency surgery on him . Saved me thousands in what the ER would have charged . I love that they don't take anything lightly , they don't brush anything off . Any concern is addressed and everything gets tested and done by the book . I've had plenty of vets before who just threw meds our way without properly checking first . Their prices are extremely reasonable , they're very nice about giving out prescriptions if you'd rather buy your meds somewhere else , the hospital is very clean and something that is a big deal to me at least - nice big parking lot -lots of spaces and in a very quiet and safe area . The girls at the front desk , the vet techs and the doctors themselves are all just wonderful people and most important - great at their jobs .

I was told that due to lack of cooperation from my pet and his pain, he needed to be sedated $698 to clip and clean infected area. I proceeded with the treatment but doctor and staff forgot to provide a cone which end up being a second visit, one day after the sedation$ 85 charge for the cone and itching medication.Three weeks later when i came back due to no improvement i was told same thing he needed to be sedated otherwise he would not be treated. I ask for antibiotics infection or solution to do it at home but apparently sedated him was the only option. Third visit $58 . My pet still or worse than when he was seen here at this location.

We came twice within a span of two months. The first time, they informed us that our 13 year-old dog has heart condition. They told us she isn't in pain and that medication would help. They warned us that she's in the later stages of her heart condition. They were able to give her an IV with medication and oxygen to help her. We asked if it was her time, but they said not yet. The staff during this visit weren't the friendliest. We took her to her primary vet the next day and got medication prescribed. We were told again that she's okay and it's not her time yet, but to watch for the warning signs and to prepare ourselves. Unfortunately, a month after the first visit, she had a really bad episode in which we knew it was her time. We brought her back and luckily the staff during this second visit were more warm and comforting. They confirmed that it would be best to let her go and so we let her cross the rainbow bridge. They were very understanding in providing us all the time we needed with her. They definitely made this process more comforting. One thing I'd say is that we were sad that they mixed up her blanket and so they had hers in the back in the wash. We asked for it back and they gave it to us wet. I was sad her scent was washed away. Overall, they provided a good visit for us. They have an online waitlist system so you can join earlier. They have some complimentary snacks and water. Also a name tag making.

The following day after his surgery, the nurses allowed me to visit him in a private room three times for about 30 minutes each time - I know my dog felt comforted seeing me while he was recovering. They did an excellent job saving his life and the price was reasonable. I would definitely return here for a pet emergency.
