They had no idea what happened or what went wrong. I was told to wait and they'll call me with more information. 2 1/2 weeks went by before I heard anything from them. I called multiple times to get information about what the next step is. By call #3 I was already pretty upset about being left in the dark without any information. I may have been a little stern but respectful in what I said but the Vet techs took it as disrespect and with that being said the Veterinarian decided to withhold information Regarding on what the next steps should be for my dog. Completely unacceptable and unprofessional! the Vet techs are completely incompetent it's a horrible place to take your dog! Find someone else!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Modern Animal, especially Dr. Ginsburg. She has cared for…read moreall three of our dogs--each with different sizes, breeds, and personalities--and treats every one of them with genuine kindness, patience, and compassion. She takes the time to explain everything, and it's clear how much she truly cares. Our dogs are completely relaxed with her, which says everything. The entire Modern Animal team has been exceptional, and we couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with our pups' care. They've earned our loyalty for life. Highly recommend!

I made my appointment online and it was simple to do! The location is easy to find with available parking. You walk in and the location is definitely modern. They had (2) waiting areas and they were nice setups. The place was not crowded with dogs either. I walked in, gave my pup and my name and was asked to have a seat. I showed up right at my appointment time. I think I waited maybe 5-ish minutes and the tech came out and brought us to the exam room. The room was nice & clean. We spoke to the tech for a bit (she was great!) and she went to grab the Dr. The Dr. was also great. She asked and answered all of my questions. My biggest thing is that she got down on the ground and check my big puppy out. Once complete, she made a medical suggestion and was clear on what the issue could be and the reason. After the Dr. left, the tech (who stayed the whole time - which I also liked) spoke about the packages they had and provided the cost for the medication on a pad. She didn't need to leave and come back a bunch of times. The tech was also knowledgeable about what my concerns were. I chose my package and approved the medication. We stepped out, grabbed a complimentary latte in the fridge and the Tech was back out with her medication and directions, in no time. She gave us the option to pay with the card that was on file (from when I made the appointment) and we were off. I was missing some shot records, which I can bring back at another time. 5-stars!

Losing a pet is an incredibly heartbreaking experience, but I cannot thank Dr. Gamez enough for the…read moreway he supported us during such a difficult time. Yesterday we had to make the painful decision to put our dog down, and Dr. Gamez turned a devastating situation into one filled with peace and dignity. From the moment we walked in, he was exceptionally understanding, empathetic, and comforting. He navigated the entire process with a level of kindness and professionalism that truly set us at ease. He provided his expert medical advice with genuine care, ensuring we felt confident and supported in our decision. Even in the midst of our grief, Dr. Gamez was a light of positivity. He treated our dog--and our family--with the utmost respect. If you are looking for a veterinarian who combines expert knowledge with a truly compassionate soul, I cannot recommend Dr. Gamez and this hospital enough. Thank you for making a "hardest day" just a little bit easier.

I wouldn't recommend this business. The staff is extremely rude. LOOK AT THE LOW STAR…read moreRATING.THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT. I spoke to a woman named Bianca and my dog is a regular patient there. I told her the name of my dog and my last name and then she asked me the same question that I just gave her the information for. Then I repeated it. Because obviously she wasn't listening. Then I told her that my dog still has an ear infection in the right ear. Then she asks which ear is it? Is it both ears or the right or the left?...... Seriously? You can't pay attention? You know there's medication for that. ( I didn't tell her that but I mentioning it in this review that if she has some sort of an attention problem then she needs to take care of that so she can do her job whether it's through medication or whatever). If you can't do your job then you need to get a job elsewhere because if you are not able to pay any kind of attention. And unfortunately this is prevalent these days that people don't pay attention. I told her that I already told her which ear. And she became pretty nasty so I asked for the manager. And the manager was pretty nasty as well. Very disrespectful. Listen if you can't handle the stress at your job and you're taking it out on innocent people, maybe you need to get another job. Maybe at a garden center or cherry picking... Maybe cleaning toilets would be more meditative. So I'm never going to take my dog back. These people don't know what they're doing and are rude about it. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Seriously. Not even for emergency. In fact for emergency this is the last place you want to go especially if you have a big dog. They will drop your dog and pretend nothing happened. Go to VEG. Make sure your vet is not from vca and ask them because if they are you want to avoid them. Drove by this place and remembered what they did. The hate I have for this business and it's staff.... hopefully they go out of business and something better can replace them.

I have been bringing my dog to Modern Animal Playa Vista since it opened, and I've had a…read moreconsistently positive experience here. I primarily go to Modern Animal for routine care and minor concerns. The space is clean and organized. The waiting area is small, but there are two sides so it is possible to keep distance between us and other pets. Our wait time is usually pretty minimal. Tech appointments tend to be very fast. The nurses and vets always ask if they can give my dog treats to make him feel more comfortable, and with my permission they will do so. I really like this about them - I think it really helps my dog feel more comfortable there. They communicate clearly and answer all the questions I come in with. I like the team at this location. They are kind and knowledgeable. I try to see the same doctors if available. It's not as personal as going to 1 specific veterinarian, but it works. Modern Animal as a service overall works really well for me. I like the app, the ease of making appointments and the chat communication. I feel like the membership fee ends up paying for itself if we go in 2-3 times in a year - it also allows us to go in as needed without the stress of additional exam fees. I also like the documentation and the access we have to all of it. The individual services/treatments, which are separate costs from the membership, are more expensive than what I've seen at other places. However, it has been worth the cost for me.

First visit to Playa Vista Modern Animal was OUTSTANDING! I changed veterinary practices because…read morethe one that I had been taking my 9 year old Rottweiler to for four years had changed. They took my dog away to a back room and asked me to muzzle her. She shakes nervously when she's there so Modern Animal was a delight. The doctor, who had an assistant to aid her, examined her and discussed her condition with me while recording everything. She had a tool to measure lipomas that I hadn't seen before at the previous vet who said they should just monitor them. We went outside to videotape her gate to determine which leg was causing a limp. Diagnosis was made and future plans and directions were given to me and my questions were answered. Visit info is available to view on their app. My dog was SMILING by the end of the exam, loving all the attention! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Unfortunately, after our wonderful vet, Dr Galea retired, the place went down in smoke. I can see…read morethat they tried to get different veterinarians to take his place and there are now a handful to choose from. Because I have two older dogs, and one recently had issues, I had the opportunity to try three different ones. Unfortunately, I was not impressed by either. One tried to present herself as a caring, holistically inclined doctor, but she did not properly diagnose the problem. She only tried to sell me Hill's dog food. The other had a bit of an uncaring personality and did not diagnose the problem either. The real gem is the technician. I wish I could remember his name. I miss Dr Galea... he would have taken one look, and would've known what the problem was immediately. That is the value of a fine doctor and moreover... of the French no-bullshit approach, coupled with lots of experience. He was absolutely irreplaceable.

And he's always really nice and treated my babies with love and respect. The bit about honesty: I brought my cat in with a suspected hernia as her belly was hanging really low and it felt tender to the touch. I took her to Dr. Galea and after touching her for a moment, he exclaimed that oh, she's ok. She's just fat. Put her on a more restricted diet and try to only feed her nutritious low carb cat food and don't give her any dry food. I mean, he could have easily asked to do a scan or get further tests and I would have said ok, but he was very upfront and honest and I love him for that. The charge for that visit: $0. He's just amazing!

She claims to advise prior to extraction. Very defensive by nature so every responder is an unnecessary argumentative exchange....everything she told me she would do, all paperwork she sent not highly incongruent and again unprofessional. Tiptoeing walking on eggshells you name it miss use of Authority and the pet suffers as a result. Highly inhumane. What was once a very optimistic sigh of relief for a very nervous rescue could not be further from that situation at this point only found out after working with her. I already paid once for an after visit follow through for information. She should've followed through naturally on her own with. It's very disheartening to attempt to be reprimanded by your vet because of their unprofessionalism and lack of follow through and for me to be pointed out as difficult. All dialogue post initial visit should have been included in the initial visit or she should've stayed to follow through during that time. By no fault of my own, I continued to follow instructions and continue to believe and take her for her word. She talks over you and doesn't let you finish. She doesn't hear what you're saying or whatever you're saying she hears it incorrectly and lashes out at you. Very disappointed. I was very hopeful and very happy at one point. There are many other mobile vets in Los Angeles. Keep looking elsewhere. I'm a very compassionate, patient and kind and absolutely generous client. There is no reason for this behavior from any "professional."
