I am a US ARMY VETERAN & DO NOT COME HERE TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. After I just paid usually a plave would say" THANK YOU! NOT THIS DISRESPECTFUL UNGRATEFUL ARROGANT technician! No apologies from these people... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEY here!!! I drove here today in the traffic from Orang County to what I thought was the best veterinary clinic even though they are OVER PRICED due to his awesome doctor and the staff. However, the technician who handled my dog's vaccine was DISRESPECTFUL, ARROGANT and UNGRATEFUL to a returning customer. She refused to give back his muzzle he came in with and the dr.. from this clinic have previously given him from past appointments because I asked it if I could have it.. His doctor gave it to me without charging me the cost.. I was very grateful. Today, this technician after I told her that it was given to me. She kept on going and even asked me , if I paid for it acting like she owns the clinic or that she bought the supplies there .. I have paid so much money to this clinic for my dog and cat for anyone to be treating me like I am lying or I stole something when my dog entered that clinic today wearing his muzzle.. This shows how UNGRATEFUL, ARROGANT & UNPROFESSIONAL this place is to a returning customer. This place is so expensive to be treating anyone with so much ARROGANCE AND DISRESPECT causing me panic attack! DONT COME HERE.. THEY WILL ONLY MAKE YOU FEEL BAD after just paying at the counter. This clinic caused me panic attack with that technician hassling me making hard for me to get his muzzle he came in here with ! I didnt come there to be treated with so much ARROGANCE and POWER TRIP, but to get my dog's vaccine.. YOU DO NOT MISTREAT A CUSTOMER AFTER SHE JUST PAID! I am a USARMY DISABLED VETERAN with an ESA DOG who got disrespect at this ARROGANT, UNGRATEFUL , DISRESPECTFUL PLACE . I came here without a panic attack and left with one enough to notify my mental health VA west los angeles Hospital for the panic I attack I am going through... Chest pain and fast heart beat! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY TO THIS ALREADY OOVER PRICED, UNGRATEFUL, DISRESPECTFUL & ARROGANT PLACE! read more

Today my dog was brought in for a check up. The attending vet seemed preoccupied and I felt I did not get there full attention. Upselling I get is common in these vet hospitals but come on. He received worm vaccinations without my knowledge. I only found out when I saw my bill. Pretty upsetting to say the least. I have been here several times throughout the years and had no problem. Sadly it probably won't continue . read more

Lola broke a nail and I noticed it on Xmas eve Couldn't find a vet opened when I came across marina vet center so glad I did. They patched her up gave her drugs for her pain and infection and sent her on her way. The only thing is they didn't tell me the cost before taking her off to her $400 pedicure I don't know what would've happened had I not had the money. Maybe returned home 1 pup short ? But they were so kind and Lola was almost like new so no complaints read more

See all

I love Dr. Halligan. I've been going to her for years and she's just an advocate for animals and a nice person.

We met with Dr Karen Halligan today , such a pleasant and knowledgeable vet , helped us out with our German shepherds gut issues today , she even has her own collar and cents radio show , their bill was 1/4 of what we've been paying and the staff were all amazing I vote #1 vet in Westchester read more

Marina Veterinary Center - Marina vets - Veterinarians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If I could I would give 0 stars for this clinic. I am so severely dissatisfied with this clinic. The only good thing about it is that it's across the street. On Thursday (05/08) my cat had a urinary blockage and was taking in (with my SECOND visit where I insisted that my cat is not okay), they did the procedure and told me that he needs to stay in for 2 days. My cat has attachment anxiety and he is severely stressed if I'm not around. Any explanation of that to the staff - did not make a difference. My cat was locked in that cage from 7pm till 8am next day without supervision and food. On Friday and Thursday evening post procedure - he was refusing to eat until I came and was able to feed him a little. When I came on Saturday at 8am to feed my cat and just be near him so he is less stressed before they will take the catheter - guess what - not only they did not allow me to see my cat, neither to feed him. All reasoning that he hadn't been fed for more than 14 hours were pointless cause this clinic values Bureaucracy over Empathy and individual needs of a cat. Saturday front desk lady lacks 100% empathy and I'm surprised that such people work there. Where when I point out that my cat is in distress - she replied "he is fine". When I said "what if you've been locked for 14 hours without food" - the front desk lady lashed out on me saying "how dare you to threaten me" where I never threatened her and was trying to call out to her empathy, imagining how it would feel. But she tried to make me guilty and gaslight me, saying that I am a problem. So I took him back Saturday around 10am and when I brought him back he was severely hungry. But because of sedation that they put - he could not eat food, like his chewing was uncoordinated. So my poor cat only ate maybe at 12pm. Anyway you would think that after that things got better? Ever since that surgery - my cat is in so much pain, urinating. The doctor "seem to follow up" via email with me but she never gave any clear guidance. So communication and setting the expectations of what's recovery would look like - nothing. Now it's been a week, and I called them saying that my cat is recovering very slow (I'm suspecting partially because of the stress they caused him by not allowing me to be near him) and one of his meds is out, maybe he needs a refill or something else? My heart's aches in pain every time he pees, he growls so much. And guess what they reply "oh since you went to emergency yesterday, go see that doctor again. We do t have doctors for the next 24-48 hours". Like seriously wow. That type of don't giving a shit about animal made me really really furious. And that's after I paid over $2k for his treatment. So STAY AWAY from this clinic at all cost. And today (05/28) I received an email from them saying that they terminating their contract with me cause "I'm a problem". My cat is doing better as of today (05/28) but still has not fully recovered. I hope my review tells a clear story of this clinic's priorities and practices. Instead of calling and making sure that my cat is alright and his recovering is going smoothly- that's the service they provide. Obviously I would never go back and endanger my cat with this clinic but this gaslighting tactics and animal neglect should be revealed to public!!!! And on the picture below you can see "how my cat is fine". That the picture the lady from front desk Saturday morning (05/09) when they were not allowing me to see him. Dr Marissa was the one responsible read more

Marina Veterinary Center has amazing staff and were so kind to my dog, Foster. Foster was having really bad hot spots and itching for months. I tried to fix it on my own but the itching persisted. I took her in to see the vets and they gave her an allergy shot and helped me with a new food plan. Vet Tech Candice was so sweet to my dog and made her feel safe while getting her shots. I can't say enough great things about the staff and this office. Thank you, Marina Veterinary Center for helping Foster feel better! read more

Marina Veterinary Center - No more biting on her paws. YAY!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A year ago I shopped around for so long trying to find a vet who was timely, responsive, and thoughtful. My first visit was wonderful and so I brought all three of my animals in to establish care even though this is definitely not the closest vet to me. Worth the drive or so I thought. I don't know what has happened but things have gone horrifically downhill since. I show up for appointments for which I have email confirmations and they claim they have no record and offer for me to wait 2 hours to maybe see a vet. Ive NEVER seen the same vet twice because AT LEAST THREE VETS HAVE LEFT (red flag!). They recently messed up my dog's dosing so that he suffered horribly and unnecessarily for a week. They don't return phone calls or emails. It's complete mayhem. They're understaffed and management has clearly devolved. Go elsewhere. I have lost all confidence. read more

Why call me at 11:15 and say my dog is ready for pickup before noon when you close at 11:30?! Waste of time. read more

Marina Veterinary Center - Last minute sign that doesn't reflect what you communicate. - Veterinarians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The client experience here has absolutely TANKED. They do not return phone calls or emails, they can't seem to hold on to an veterinarians for longer than a few weeks, they don't communicate with you at all before/during/after testing, and they are laser focused on upcharging you for unnecessary "services" and testing. I've also had numerous medication "mixups." I just would never feel safe taking my animals back here again. Avoid at all costs. I would also note that the VCA is no better. read more

This place has the absolute worst customer service ever! I've been a business owner for over 10 years and every time I need a refill for my dogs medication I have to call back 3-5xs for them to actually refill it. Each time I call they say "well put it on the doctors desk and you'll get an email" and that never happens. I have to call and call and call again to get it written. It can't be that hard or busy especially when I say it's a medication for a dog that needs it asap. Also, in the past they gave me the wrong medication and I gave it to my dog for a week b4 I realized it had another dogs name on the bottle The only reason I even return is to keep my dog comfortable and it's "convenient" but in actuality not convenient at all. read more

WELL, I can only give a one star rating because this supposed Vet Center is only blocks from our home. Otherwise I'd give them a zero . Went for a quick 2 minute consultation with Dr? Halligan, regarding my elder cat Cupcake, who after 13+ years is having some health concerns for me. I rescued her , totally Ferrell kitty, who became a wonderful cat. I inquired How best to get her , being big time carrier resistant to see her. And all she could advise was to make an appointment, Then trap her in a pillowcase & bring her in, & she'd take care of the the rest. Cold & cruel affect. There are many really good , empathetic , and carding Vets in our area. My suggestion is find one other than Marina On Lincoln In Westchester! FYI, found a great local Vet who was compassionate & gave me a tranquil way forward to diagnosis & treatment for our love kitty. read more

This vet clinic is all about the money. They charged me an arm and a leg for the most basic services, and it was clear they cared more about my wallet than my dog's well-being. Avoid this place if you don't want to feel like a walking ATM and they didn't even treat my poor pupper right Get it together. read more

Most expensive vet I've ever been to and they don't reserve time for emergencies. Called when my dog had a very bad hematoma and they couldn't get her in for three days. (Obviously I went elsewhere and they did surgery same day.) The older vet is on another planet and can't remember things you just told her. The younger vet is condescending and an alarmist calling for thousands of dollars in treatment for an ear infection. The blonde vet is great, but I've only seen her once. They've lost my appointments, called to confirm appointments on the wrong day... so the front desk is also a mess. Better to just go elsewhere. read more

I came to Marina Veterinary Center for a standard neuter for a 7mo puppy, who was not already an existing patient, based upon a $ quote given prior to a +$90 pre-neuter 5 minute consult with the vet. At the consult, it came to light a standard blood panel was required at $+200 in cost which was NOT included in the initial quote range and the basis for coming here. This review is for how Marina Vet markets it's services, had the cost been properly disclosed I would not have come in the first place and wasted the otherwise useless consult. On a lighter note, staff was very kind and polite. read more

I had been bringing my cats here for about a year and I kept telling them that one of them was having really bad teeth issues (smell, looking unhealthy.) They always told me that nothing was wrong and that it was normal. Fast forward a couple months after our last visit where I expressed the same concerns - my cat was visually in a lot of pain. I brought her to a new vet and they told me she needs to get teeth extracted since she has had issues for so long. this office literally could've saved my cat so much pain and me a lot of money by just listening. Do not go here. read more

SAVE YOURSELF! GO TO ANOTHER VET! Highly recommend VCA HERMOSA, much more professional and kind to puppy parents that are seeking care for a sick animal. I wish I read the other reviews before going here! Veronica was beyond unprofessional! I showed up for my appointment and she claimed that I called to cancel when I had confirmed just an hour before. She consistently told me what I must have done to cause the mix up on HER end. She could have so easily gotten a new loyal customer but due to her extreme rudeness, I would never send my dog or let anyone else send there dog to a place that can be so unprofessional, patronizing, and rude. Bonus, she told me how I couldn't have been feeling upset because it was my fault and then proceeded to tell me I don't know what words mean :) Talk about a class act! read more

Sadly their level of service has dropped. Last three times have just been a pill. Their automated system and their front desk contradict each other so you are constantly getting wrong information. Today was the third strike. Sad since I actually like their vet but can't deal with the front desk anymore. read more

I have found Dr. Moss and Dr. T to be very caring and the staff to be very nice and responsive. When we learned that our 12 year old Labrador had terminal cancer and was not doing well and we could not get an appointment with Beverly Hills Small Animal Hospital where we had gone for over 30 years, my daughter was referred to several vets and Dr. Moss was the only one able to see us right away. They are much father from our house, but I feel they are worth the drive and in comparison to where we were, much more pleasant, responsive, organized and caring. From the moment, we heard Dr. Moss caring voice after the exam, we felt at ease. He understood the issues and gave us medicine to help his symptoms and told us how wonderful Zeus was, which he was. Dr. Halligan notified us when she felt it was the right time to let him go, which really helped our family as we did not want him to ever pass! We then later adopted a sweet Husky from the Downey shelter, who after being with us for 2 weeks, had an accident and broke 2 bones in her leg. She was in a cast for about 8 weeks and needed to be examined and her cast changed weekly. Dr. T and Dr. Moss were very caring and professional about it all, assuring me she would not lose her leg and she didn't. Dr. T is extremely caring. It was expensive, yes, but sometimes good care and exceptional customer service is. When our husky suddenly passed away, Dr T. found out and called me which was just so sweet. She also reviewed the files from the emergency doctor and explained what had happened and reassured me about her case and care. My other dog is under their care and when I get another dog, so will that one! I wouldn't go anywhere else. I would and have recommended them to several other dog owners! I think they are the best! read more

wondering if anyone knows where Rachael Jones is practicing these days? I understand that she has moved on from Marina Del Rey Vet Center, and it is under new ownership. I really liked Rachael and her perspective to treating animals..and this new owner is not getting very positive reviews from existing customers. I called to see if I could find out if Rachael Jones was still there and they said yes she was and booked an appt., knowing that she wasn't working there any longer. read more

Do NOT go here! They lure you in with a low estimate and then overcharge you for treatments that don't even work! Then they say they will return your phone call and never do hoping you will just go away! Horrible office! Avoid at all costs!! read more

I used to go to Marina vet. 10 years ago. Dr. Jones did an x-ray of my corgi. Missed diagnosed the cancer. When I went back in to ask her about this because there was still a problem with him. she took another x-ray and said oh I should've seen this the first time. I had Eye surgery that day my mistake. What the F. Are you kidding me you admit that there was a problem however you charge me $600 a second time. It's a good thing she doesn't work there anymore. They are very expensive in there. And they can be rude. Animal wellness centers on Lincoln has treated us very well. read more

THEY DO NOT HAVE THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR PETS IN MIND THEY JUST WANT TO TAKE AS MUCH OF YOUR MONEY AS POSSIBLE By far the worst vet experience I've ever had. We brought our 2 dogs in for what we thought was a little flea problem and left with a $700 bill. The entire conversation with the vet consisted of her trying to push extremely expensive medications and foods on us. She told me that because my dogs had ear infections I would have to put them on hypoallergenic food for the rest of their lives, at a cost of $100 per 25lb bag. She then tried to prescribe 2 different antihistamines (?) an antibiotic and a prescription ear wash and prescription flea meds. Before we left we were quoted a total of around $550, but when I got home and looked at the invoice in my email it was for $700. Looking deeper into the invoice, we were charged 5-10x what online pharmacies charge for every medicine but the flea meds. I expect to pay a marked up price from a vet, but this is just greedy. We were also charged a $50 ear washing fee on top of the already 10x marked up single ear wash dose. I should have looked at yelp first, because I see a lot of similar reviews. read more

I would say they are very young without any empathy. In other words, they do their job but they aren't very kind

Been coming here for years! They took care of a spider bite on my dog Suge's face. It turned into an under the skin infection and his face was extremely swollen. They took care of him right away, and after our visit he was back to normal within two to three days. read more

Such a kind, thoughtful office! We came to the very heartbreaking decision to have our 18 year old dog put to sleep. We don't have a regular vet, but they booked us an appointment without question. Due to a mixup as to where the office was located, we missed the appointment. We called to apologize and they gave us another appointment the same day. The staff was very kind, and the doctor very reassuring that we were doing the right thing. Thank you, Marina Veterinary Center, for making a very difficult, sad day so much easier! read more

After reading other reviews I'm so sad I didn't see any of this before so I wanted to share my experience. In short, keeping scrolling for a different vet. Any option will be better! This is a 3 star vet for a reason. They waste your time, your money, and treat you like you like crap. Im so shocked by the way I was treated I needed to write the following more for piece of mind that the doctors in this office will know this is happening. It's really sad to read and now know from experience that the reviews about this staffs verbal abuse of clients is more than true. I've been going here for over a year and am happy to say I never have to go back. At noon on a Monday I was scheduling an appointment over the phone and after voicing I had a bleeding dog, and the urgency of wanting to get her in for needed treatment, meds, etc I asked how long I needed to set aside for the appointment since there were limited options (2 for the entire week) and "I had a 9-5 to get back to" and the receptionist replied "so do I, just like every human". Followed by a few other rude patronizing remarks about having to take the time to answer my question, instead of just answering it. The whole thing led to me to just cancel the appointment and ask her to remove me from the client list. No response to that, she hung up on me immediately. Look, I get if you're having a bad day but then call into work sick if you can't check your attitude at the door. Honestly, this was the worst behavior from anyone in a client/customer/patient facing position in a while, and frankly I don't need to put up with it and I encourage anyone else not to either. If you can't handle a client asking "why" questions because they genuinely have a concern and do not know the answer to the question (or in my case stressed due to my dogs current situation) you shouldn't be in these sorts of jobs - especially if you can't control your attitude. It's just unacceptable to treat anyone that way. Be professional, hire professional staff, or know that there are other options like the great vets at VCA with great staff and receptionists! Already received care at VCA along with the three needed medications and treatment for my pups lacerations. I will never be coming back to Marina Vet Center. read more

Here's the deal: Dr Jones was amazing. Apparently she has left her practice to other doctors. We had Dr Moss. He has the bedside manner and care of someone working in the DMV. Although I don't want to insult people who work at the DMV. You'll wait that long too. That's why there's so many 1 stars as the most recent reviews and glowing 4-5 stars from the past. I won't bore you with details but basically we called the doctor three times to get serious information about our dog whom they had just neutered two days earlier. The doctor never called me back, he had a clueless staff member call with wrong information. A week later I receive an email completely conflicting what the office had said! I BEG the office assistant, Sam (very nice) to have Dr DMV call me back and he finally does with a mouthful of information on male dog plumbing that I needed to hear the week earlier. Turns out that so soon after being fixed he may very well have gotten our female pregnant again (our dog, not the doctor). His staff member was adamant that it could not happen. It's a pretty big deal as we have to do a pretty intense surgery on our girl. Now we are racing for a solution and to another practice and I suggest you do the same. read more

If you like condescending Vets that speak to you like you're an idiot, outrageous pricing, and rude front desk staff then Marina Veterinary Center is the place for you!! Look at all the other 1 star reviews (that are recent!) that talk about all the above. I wish I'd never set foot in that place, but you can save yourself the trouble. There are better vets that actually care about your pet, treat you with respect, and do not overcharge. This place is a joke...... read more

Worst Veterinary experience of my life! Poor, poor care and ripped me off. Charged hundreds more in service, than I agreed to pay beforehand. Also gave a wrong diagnosis, and missed something very important. My cat got ill quickly. I was staying with a friend, over 2 hours away. Which I said when I brought her in. They did a lot of tests, gave her 2 shots, explained very little, and advised me to come back in 2 weeks for follow-up. But, considering how awful the vet and entire experience was, I was never going back to this office. However, they didn't know that. After the shots wore off, my cat was doing very badly. I called three times and asked the tech to speak to the Vet, who last saw her, and for an RX until I could bring her in again. It would take a day or 2, because of the distaance. The vet responded by e-mail, which I never got, as I I didn't have I-net access at my friends. I was told he'd "call me soon" & expected a call. If they'd have said the vet will e-mail you, I'd have told them I didn't have I-net access. The receptionist did say, the Vet agreed to call in, 2 RXs for her. I gave him two different pharmacy ph numbers, to make sure one or the other would have them in stock. But, the vet didn't call any RX in. He either "forgot" or just didn't bother. The receptionist didn't know why he didn't get it done. I assumed after being told he'd call them in, he would. I'd have gone to another vet that night, near where i was staying, had I known he'd "forget". My cat suffered badly all night! Unnecessarily! The next day, I took her to another vet. He explained fully what was happening with her. I was shocked Maria Veterinary, didn't tell me these things, and gave so little information. They quoted me one price (very high), then charged $290 more than I agreed to. All other vets I've been to, give you an itemized bill and ask you to sign BEFORE doing tests and giving treatments. They give through info on your pet and follow up care. They are also slightly under average in the caring department. Years ago when it was just DR Jones, it was a great office But I have not had good care, with two other vets in the office, and she is frequently not in the office. Very Frequently. And, because of how often she is out she can book weeks, or a months in advance. This last was not my only "bad experience" at this office. It was just my last. I would definitely stay away from this office. Some vets here have low integrity and inadequate compassion for animals. read more

Got Teddy shots and the vet called me like in 5 min after them getting him from my vehicle. He was so nice and even said he wanted to take teddy home lol! Teddy got a thorough assessment and I felt comfortable with him in their care while I wasn't there. Unlike Westchester vets. Marina vet places my dog gently to us after they were finished. We have found a great vet this far. read more

This place gets by ripping vulnerable people off. I was really excited to find a vet right in the neighborhood, but after my stressful, disappointing experience here, they couldn't pay me to come back. I brought my kitten in with a common ailment that I've brought other cats to other vets for multiple times. The office staff was friendly and pleasant, especially the vet tech, Alex, who's very sweet and kind and made me feel I was in good hands. Problems started when the veterinarian came in. She barely glanced at my kitten while asking me questions. When she whisked him into the back to collect a sample. I heard him shrieking in terror for an extended period of time - not just the usual upset meowing that's over in seconds - he was straight up screaming and shrieking for too long. Whatever was being done wasn't carried out with enough care, skill or efficiency. They brought him back to me with a huge soaking wet spot on his fur and told me they'd administered SQ fluids. I hadn't authorized SQ fluids. I've had fluids given to other cats before at my usual vet and they were never dripping wet afterwards. The next big shock came at check out. I was presented with a bill 4x higher than expected. I asked for itemization. They provided a list of things that, like the SQ fluids, I hadn't been forewarned of and hadn't been given a chance to authorize. I sat down and waited for the vet to come talk to me about the procedures and the charges. When she arrived she remained standing and immediately started in with, "we're not in it for the money," which translates to "we're in it for the money," and told me the office's rent is really high. For example, a routine exam usually costs $49-55. Here it's $78 and the standard of care is no higher. It's possibly worse. Then she said something that really bothered me: "We don't normally need to inform our clients of prices beforehand. Now I can see how we should, but only for our /shelter pet clients/." What was she implying or trying to accomplish with that statement? "Shelter pet clients" can't afford their high prices? "Shelter pet clients" deserve the consideration of forewarning but other clients don't? I began to notice how much she was fussing with her expensive-looking, freshly-highlighted and elaborate hairstyle. Thankfully they waived most of the charges. It was reasonable of them to correct their mistake and I appreciate it. I paid for the medications, which are priced 500% higher than the average retail cost: $29 for half of a pill that usually costs $5 or 6 (for the full pill) and $32 for a liquid suspension that also runs $5 or 6. I would have liked to go someplace else to purchase the prescriptions, but that would have required another trip, another appointment, another exam, stressing my poor sick kitten out even more and I only had one hour off work. I was directed to give the suspension to my kitten 2x day for 7 days. After 5 days of administering correct dosage, the bottle is empty. They didn't provide enough medicine in a bottle marked up over 500%. This may interrupt his treatment and require us to start all over. Marina Vet's approach is deceptive, inconsiderate and unprofessional. I've never encountered their operating procedure at another vet. Unless the animal is in critical condition, pet parents should always be informed ahead of time what treatments the vet recommends, how much they cost and given the option to decline any or all of them. Anytime a person's pet is sick, they're upset, in a vulnerable position and susceptible to being taken advantage of financially. That's exactly what goes on here. UPDATE 8-14: I posted this review on July 28th, a week after my appointment. Marina Vet claims they attempted to reach out to me via phone to further reconcile the situation. I have one missed call from their office on August 5th and an email dated August 13th from Rachel Jones, clearly written after she noticed my Yelp review. In her email she contemptuously informs me she has reimbursed me for the medications, expresses anger towards me for posting a Yelp review and complains using the aphorism, "no good deed goes unpunished." It's ridiculous I have to point out that correcting your own error doesn't qualify as a good deed. She even threatened to sever the clinic's entire relationship with city animal shelters if I didn't remove my review. I told her depriving all the people and animals they could help just because one person had a bad experience would be an impulsive, irrational mistake. Rachel also initially included private information in her response to my review. I asked her to please remove it. She indignantly refused. I wrote to Yelp and asked them to remove it. They did and she reposted her response. This is not a mature, objective professional with whom I can trust my cats' care. read more

I don't have much to say, I should have read the reviews! It seems this place is all about making the money! Other people commented about this so it should be noted.

Honestly the worst place to bring your dog. All they care about is making thousands of dollars off of you. They don't care about you or your pet! I have a long list of things they did wrong. Here are a few highlights... The front office staff is rude, unprofessional and honestly they do not care about you or your animal. I have two dogs. My older dog had a dental there that cost over 2k. They sent me home with zero information and zero follow up. I brought my dog in for a vaccination and it was a two part series but they never told me that. When I went to take my dog to a daycare they asked for the second vaccination. I called the vet and they said oh they must have have forgotten to tell me it was a two part series. They told me they now had to redo it. Then when I went back in for the second shot they were totally booked and could not accommodate me for the second shot in time. I did notice my other dog who is a golden retriever and loves everyone and everything was super scared to go into the vet again and when the vet tech tried to get him to go back with her for the shot he was so scared and pulling away. I offered to walk him back and she said no it's faster if she takes him. I suggested if she had a treat and she rolled her eyes and went to get a crappy treat my dog didn't care about. She continued to pull at my dog and finally I told her to stop. She just wanted to get the shot done and hurry through her day and was not even considering my dogs feelings. Finally after a big struggle another tech brought us in a room where he calmly got his shot. I could go on and on with issues with this vet! I tried to reach out to the manager and doctors and no one got back to me. So the best thing I can do is leave a review of my experience and hope that no one has the experience I did. I will be finding a new vet. read more

This is the absolute worst vet I have ever brought one of my animals to, in my 15 years of animal ownership. I dropped off my healthy cat for a routine ultrasound to check her heart before leaving the country for a few weeks. Her results were great, healthy happy cat, and I was out $1,000, fine. When i picked her up she was still under anesthesia, and was kind of weird. I called my usual vet to see what was up and he was confused as well as it shouldn't have lasted more then a few hours. I tried to contact the vet, and was told they will get back to me at their convenience. They couldn't provide a window or even tell me if it would happen today. Do yourself a favor and bring your animal to someone who cares. read more

I have been going to a vet for the past few months and left due to them being over crowded and feeling like a number. Thankfully I found Marina Vet Center!! The staff was super friendly and the vet visit was completed in a timely manner! I love that I feel like a person at this vet instead of a number. My dog Homer had a great visit as well. Definitely had a different (happy) energy leaving this vet then how he left the other vet we use to go to. I highly recommend this place! Grateful we found our Forever Vet! read more

Marina Veterinary Center - Homer after his vet visit! - Veterinarians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My beloved Diego (a schnauzer/terrier mix) scratched his eye so much that it seemed to be infected, was swollen and he was surely in pain. I brought him in to Marina Vet. Center and immediately received outstanding care from Dr. Moss, Danielle and Samuel. So happy to say that after a couple days of following the directions of the medications they provided, Diego completely healed and was back to his normal loving and fun self, no longer in pain. This allowed my to get back to normal life, finally not worrying about seeing my baby suffer. I was charged a fair price and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this great veterinary center to any who's pets need anything or a regular checkup. read more

Apparently I was too detailed in my previous review so here I try again. I do NOT recommend this place or Dr. Halligan. My pup went in for a regular dental cleaning and came out with having a misdiagnosis of early renal failure which put me on a path to seek 2 other vets' opinions thereafter, both of whom confirmed nothing was wrong and this vet should have known that based on blood work readings. Also, she removed 2 perfectly good teeth (w/o clearly advising me and having given me this misdiagnosis news which put me on a spiral path downward). The whole experience was awful from start to finish. read more

Always pleasant. Very trustworthy. The vets are always very kind and answer all questions. Going to the vet is always so stressful- I've found this to be a most positive experience every time. Even though it's a little out of my way. It's totally worth it. read more
