They always have a wonderful attitude despite a busy office environment right in front of their desk. And I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bazlova. She is super smart, responsive, caring, thorough and kind. When she calls to give test results she thoroughly explains them and next steps. If I email her a question through the website she always responds promptly. Our dog recently developed Cushings disease. She has been so lovely in helping us navigate reaching the diagnosis and now the treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. B and Media City!

Every time we make an appt, the receptionist of the phone has the biggest attitude and puts me on hold for 10-20 min at a time. They are "very busy" apparently. Each visit I am spending thousands of dollars on testing, appts, cleanings that would not cost this much at a different vet. They make you feel horrible for not opting into certain tests or shots or medicine. Would not recommend taking your beloved pets here! 1/10 experience. It's such a scam!

The weekend got worse with vomiting and liquid diarrhea. I didn't want to do an emergency, since it's so expensive but it was something that needed to be looked at. I found Animal urgent care by a referral through Studio City Animal hospital (another winner - love Dr Mike and staff) We got there at 11:45 to check in. We got in right at 12 and my dog was seen right away. Dr. Berman was amazing and thorough. My dog has mast cell tumors and having this issue would add unwanted stress to her system. She also has a dog with the same condition, so it was a wonderful match. She was in and out in 2 hours with all treatments and results. Dr Berman and staff took the best care of my dog and she was so much better when we got home and still doing well today. The bill was very reasonable. They do not price gouge!! The front desk was also so sweet. Overall an amazing experience. I would take her here again if needed, and would recommend any animal owner, if there is no emergency, this is your place to go!

Both my wife and I were crushed at the loss of our Great Pyrenees dog that prematurely suffered from cancer and when it was time to make the call I must say that the experience was absolutely appropriate and private. At some points it was as if he was not even in the room turning away to allow my wife and I to have complete privacy in the middle of this to say goodbye. He shared very few words only to relieve our anxiety and concerns about our animal's initial reaction or what to expect from the euthanasia. This in itself was so appropriate and created an environment where we were not being consumed by the "unknown" with regards to this process. He truly is the right type of person to help anybody from any background in saying goodbye to their pets in private in your own home and like I said, it was almost as if he wasn't even there. He is such an incredible professional. You will be glad that you selected him. - Henry and Rebeca

Our pitbull was losing all function in his limbs to the point we were carrying him everywhere. We decided it was no way to live. After taking him to Yosemite and Big Sur, we knew it was time.

This hospital deserves nothing less than 5 stars. I took my dog here for a broken tooth. It was…read morevery important to me that we found a vet that was both kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Ahmed was both. From the first visit, he answered every question I had and even gave in depth explanations of things I had no knowledge of. His demeanor is one of patience and he knows his stuff VERY WELL. The staff also went above and beyond to handle any questions or concerns. This is also a hospital who gives test results in a timely manner. They are absolutely fantastic communicators (they pick up the phone and return calls). Furthermore, they don't try to scam you out of your money by pushing unnecessary test.Despite the fact that I was willing to pay for specific test before my dog went into surgery (due to my own overthinking), Dr.Ahmed informed me that it wouldn't be necessary. In a moment where It would have been easy to take advantage and over charge for me for test we didn't need, he did not. All in all, Affordable Animal Hospital operates with INTEGRITY AND EXPERTISE. My dog recovered beautifully from her dental surgery. No swelling, no bleeding (although that can be normal) , no adverse reactions from anesthesia or medication (although possible), no behavioral changes after her visits. THIS IS A HOSPITAL THAT CAN BE TRUSTED. Don't waste time searching else where. There prices are unbeatable but MOST IMPORTANTLY, they're SERVICE is PHENOMENAL. Thank you Affordable Animal Hospital you guys have been answered prayer. God bless!

Doctors Kim and Lazarus diagnosed the issue and prescribed meds that solved the problem and he was back to normal in a few weeks. They have an interesting business model (and a great app). You pay $199 and get free office visits for a year. You stil pay for treatments and meds, but the exam is already included. I wish I'd done that the first time I went.

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.

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!!!

Our sweet dog, Prudence, had been sick, and we had been working with Dr. Swope and Dr. De La Torre, and the entire staff, who always answered all my questions with thoroughness and patience. When Prudence's health declined and we were going to multiple appointments a month, they guided us through every treatment and medication option with clarity and compassion. They never rushed us, never made us feel like we were "just another appointment," and treated our sweet girl with the dignity and gentleness she deserved. When it came time to say goodbye, they created a peaceful, loving space for us -- one that made a terrible moment a little less painful. I wanted Prudence to be surrounded by love and support in her final moments and Sweet Home Vet did that for us. Losing Prudence broke our hearts, and I miss her every day, but we are so grateful we found a vet's office that truly cared. I will always remember the kindness Sweet Home Vet showed us.
