    Lily and her favorite dog, Summer, who met her at the Rainbow Bridge. RIP sweet girls.
    Michelle B.

    We found ourselves in need of an urgent care vet again, this time for our 18-year old cat Lily. First, I am so grateful that this place is open for extended hours and on Sundays. Fast forward to the point of this review-LBC Vets offered a reasonable treatment plan, reviewed it with us in detail, showed the cost up front, did not pressure us to follow any of the cost-associated options, and offered us excellent customer service (by Dr. Marroquin, the vet tech staff, the front desk staff). We took Lily in on a Sunday because of bleeding in her nose. The suspected cause was 100% unlikely (rat poisoning) since Lily was an indoor, lazy cat. The next obvious cause (cancer) was very likely, but LBC Vets didn't have the equipment to perform CT Scans or ultrasounds. Lily was stable, the bleeding had slowed down, and she was fiesty/angry at me taking her off her cat bed, so we brought her back home. Once home, she began bleeding again. I called LBC Vets and they asked me to bring her back (no exam fee this time). This time, Dr. Marroquin spent quite a while with us talking about all options for a treatment plan. We felt no pressure to do or not do any of the options suggested, and the cost was clear. With her sound advice, we took Lily home again, curled up for the night, and planned to take her to our vet, Little Cottonwood/Dr. Horvath) the next day (Monday). On Monday, Dr Horvath made her comfortable (pain med, sub-Q fluids, etc.), and we found a vet with an ultrasound specialist (Primary Care, Wardlow, LB). The ultrasound showed that Lily had been transparent and brave with us while cancer had grown throughout her sweet body. With the ultrasound information, we had all of the information we needed to make the decision to let her go in peace. The end of this story is sad. Saturday Lily was screaming/yowling for her breakfast at 4 am as usual, and Sunday we were in Urgent Care discussing treatment options. We knew the day would come, and finding the right kind of care during that time is crucial. I am grateful for LBC Vet's Dr. Marroquin's, the vet tech staff, and the front desk staff's professionalism, friendliness, helpfulness during this time with Lily. With that said, the cost was reasonable for what we received at LBC Vets. Dr. Marroquin spent enough quality time with us and with Lily to prepare us to find the right services on Monday so we could make a confident decision. LBC Vets was there when we needed them and I am glad that we have their Urgent Care Services available to us.

    I feel like this review is just going to make them busier but I won't gate keep. So the good is my 8yo labradoodle caught pneumonia last year. His previous vet wasn't giving him an adequate diagnosis or treatment plan and we had no idea what was really wrong but he kept getting sicker. We took him to another local vet and he still wasn't getting better so we ended up at LBC Vets. The vet's are caring and thorough. Long story longer...he was given a cocktail of meds; for which one, Theophyllyn made him even sicker. Although that was given under their care, he needed to be hospitalized and put in an oxygen chamber for 3 days. They course corrected immediately and took him off that med. He got better after about a month and a 1/2 after getting out the hospital, and we are so grateful. Cons: Parking: like others are saying, parking sucks. Be patient. Busy: Yes. It's busy. That's a good and bad thing. There is "some" parking in the back. Another Pro Tip: Their groomer (The Bark Boutique works directly at the LBC Vets office Sarah is the best doodle groomer I've found!!)

    Where do I even start?? This veterinary hospital is top tier. I can't recommend them enough! Dr. Kessler and team provided such amazing care for my cat Bowie who went into respiratory distress two days ago. They took him in right away and admitted him. They made it as affordable as possible and kept me updated and were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I found out my Bowie has asthma but they explained how it's manageable and that he will be good! I can't express my gratitude enough to this office and how amazing they are. If you need somewhere to take your pet and you want high quality care, pick LBC Vets! Thank you for everything!

    I just want to start with a BIG THANK YOU!!!! I took my very pregnant Old English Sheepdog She was in active labor and I was completely nervous even though I read and was " ready". Adriana was awesome!! Very patients and helpful. Lucy was sent home to have her puppies . But LBC Vet never let her alone! They provided helpful info and help over the phone when the pups arrived. They took the time to explain over the phone and the constant text to check on Lucy was much appreciated. We are very grateful to had found LBC Vet & the great staff!!.

    I've never had to make the trip to an emergency clinic until I got my second cat who displayed signs of constipation. The receptionist is incredibly bubbly, and even offered an alternative so that I wouldn't have to spend money. However, the alternative didn't work, and they attended my kitten shortly after. I was there for four hours with very lovely and helpful staff, and left with medication that softened my kittens stool the next day! Given how well my walk-in appointment went, this has become my go-to for emergencies. On a side note, amenities are included!

    See all

    Do they offer military discount? Thinking of switching vets put my other vet gives me a military discount for my pet and a service dog discount for my other dog

    Hello how much is the open airway surgery for a bulldog? My dog is having a hard time breathing. He's around 4 years old.

    Sounds like your dog would need a check up with LBC Vet's, and then you could have a discussion with the doctor on care and pricing vs randomly asking via Yelp

    I used to come to this office when it was run by Dr Gamble. She treated my (14 year old) senior cat…read morewith kindness and compassion above all else. He had localized cancer in one limb and we chose amputation and he lived happily for years with careful follow up within this clinic and was put down with compassion and love when his time came to cross the rainbow bridge. We were mailed a note from staff along with his cremation which we still have. I brought my now senior cat (17 years old) here and did not feel the same kindness and I'm very disappointed and miss the previous team. I was informed we're starting with blood work but his symptoms may indicate neurological up to and including a brain tumor. I do not disagree with this assessment or recommendations as I work in the medical field and brought him in for these concerns. With that said, there is a way to deliver this information with kindness (as I previously received by Dr Gambles practice for my other cat) that was not delivered today. I inquired prior to my appointment if it would have to be a drop off appointment and they said no, exams are with the pet parent present however my cat needed blood work. Feisty as he is, he would need sedation. This sedation I was told was only gas. I'm certainly aware this does not require hours of recovery but I understand the need for drop off. However, I was told they would call me when pickup is ready and I told the tech I need some time frame. I was informed it would be 6+ hours "because we have other clients". I could understand if the rational was sedation for a period of time, but to keep my cat, in distress for being at the vet, for 6+ hours for blood work due to other clients when I made an appt discussing my concerns before coming seems excessive. Upon my question for this concern my cat was just brought out to me. I appreciate this as I do not want my cat in care where his time isn't considered as my main concern is his comfort especially in his age and condition. Overall, I won't be returning. I'm very disappointed in the care that has changed at this clinic. This is not the care that would have ever been delivered with Dr Gamble. **follow up, my cat had an appt with a different clinic and got blood work twice with me present in the room. He was treated with compassion which led to him being compliant without sedation. Additionally, the vet heard a heart murmur that was not discussed at the conclusion of this previous vet assessment. This makes me question the thoroughness of the assessment and the need for sedation as I was not present when they stated they attempted blood work.

    Always a pleasure to take our dogs to Parkview. Staff is always nice and a pleasure to deal with.read more

I brought my dog in for a routine anesthetic dental cleaning. During the procedure, I received a call saying they needed to extract four teeth and that the total would be $2,400. I've had anesthetic dental cleanings done for my dogs at multiple veterinary hospitals over the years, including procedures with extractions, and I have never paid anywhere near that amount. After my husband questioned the estimate, the cost suddenly dropped to around $1,000 for two extractions. That alone left us wondering how the original quote was determined. The pickup experience was even more disappointing. I was handed three pieces of paper with very little explanation and no medication. Every other veterinarian I've been to has sent my dog home with pain medication directly from the clinic. Instead, I was told I needed to call around to CVS and other pharmacies to find one that could fill the prescriptions. Meanwhile, my poor dog had just undergone oral surgery and was crying in pain. I had to take her home first, then immediately drive to CVS. Once there, the pharmacist spent over 30 minutes on the phone with the vet trying to clarify the prescriptions. Then came the most alarming part of the entire experience. One of the prescribed medications was rejected by the pharmacist because it contained xylitol, a sugar alcohol that is highly toxic to dogs and can be fatal if ingested. I was shocked that this prescription was written in the first place. Had the pharmacist not caught it, I could have unknowingly given my dog a medication containing an ingredient that poses a serious danger to dogs. That was the final straw. I have three dogs and recently moved to Long Beach, so I was hoping to find a veterinary clinic I could trust for years to come. Unfortunately, Pine Animal Hospital has lost what would have been a loyal customer. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic and would encourage others to look elsewhere.

I was told we'd receive the results within a few days, but I never got a call and had to repeatedly follow up myself. When I finally spoke with the doctor nearly a month later, he seemed to think we had already discussed the results. I had to remind him that we had only talked about the initial findings and that the entire reason I paid for the additional review was because he recommended it. I also requested my cat's medical records and was told they would be emailed to me, but they never were. The staff were always friendly and professional, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. My concern was never the friendliness of the team, but the lack of communication and follow-through. Had the findings been more serious, the delay in follow-up could have had much greater consequences. At the end of the day, I'd rather have prompt communication than have to repeatedly chase down results while worried about my pet's health. Time for a new vet.
