    Sadly service and quality declined. Dr Chema wasn't there daily and their days and hours reduced making it virtually impossible to schedule appointments. I had a horrible experience in 2020 with a dog I was concerned about due to pink discharge from his stomach via his esophagus. This was during Covid so they came to my car and I spoke to Dr Chema by phone only. Chest X-Rays were done and Dr Chema diagnosed as "gas" and sold me 2 cases os sensitive stomach canned food. Sent me home with the digital X-Rays and advised if any problems to take him to the emergency vet as they were closing soon. 5 hours later at the emergency vet he was euthanized as he went into shock. He was bloating. The ER vet said the X-Rays clearly showed he was bloating and Chema should have either done or recommended emergency surgery immediately. Later when I mentioned his euthanasia to Dr Chema he told me that he mentioned "bloating " to me. I am an excellent historian ~ he never used the word bloat, only that my dog had a lot of gas in his stomach. I asked if my dog was bloating why sell me 2 cases of sensitive stomach canned food then? Duh. Perhaps my dog couldn't have been saved but he didn't deserve to die a slow, painful death due to this vets negligence. Shortly afterwards I moved all my animals. Don't make the same mistake I made trusting the wrong vet.

    This place should never be allowed to treat animals , I brought my cat in that had been attacked and had a couple puncture wounds on 9/11/24 at which point they let us view a quick estimate and we left the cat to be fixed up they stitched him up put the wrong size cone on Maxx my cat .the vet put wrong size 10 on so as soon as the cat got home he started licking the wound first mistake then apparently they stitched him up improperly because it start opening up like crazy. I took him back on Friday the other lady veterinarian didn't do Jack Dilly squat ,she sent me home with SSD cream" which is an antibacterial fungal burn cream that is not going to close a gaping wound last I f****** checked . I had to race the cat down to greater good Veterinarian Service to the tune of $2,600 plus medication to do the job right which they put a number 12.5 cone on now he can't lick the wound they stitched it up much better it has not opened up Sears veterinarian is completely inept it's wonder the cat didn't get sepsis. previously they canceled two of my dogs appointments he had so they're overbooked understaffed the veterinarian looked overworked and rushed she explained there was two things she could do but she elected to do nothing that's called a nothing Burger. I wouldn't take a dead animal to this place they've been purchased by a corporation no freaking surprise there the previous owner Sears would be rolling over in his grave probably if you knew how this place was run. Where did they get their DVM in a box of Cracker Jacks ? First mangle photo is the way Max left on Friday the second photo is today after bringing him home from a competent veterinarian greater good veterinarian. Sears veterinarian's wanted to go home instead of treating my cat..They are incompetent this is malpractice at the least..what was this Lady vet thinking..Did she get her DVM license ? She cost me a ton of money and heart break and put cat through pain and suffering and stress..Never go to sears veterinarian on ave I.........

    Today I write this with a heavy Sad heart. I had to put my baby Sasha down today. As this was a tough decision EVERYONE was nice and compassionate. They let my husband and I be with her considering their covid guidelines. She went peacefully and we had no issues. The place is always clean and staff is always comforting. I still stand as this place as the best place for anyone to bring there pets here. You won't be disappointed. 2020 has been quite a year and I'm so Thankful and appreciate Sears being available during COVID-19!

    We have been going to Dr. Sears for the last 40 years, most during happy times and some during sad times. When the original owner (Dr. Sears) decided to retire, and we met Dr. Cheema, I knew Dr. Sears would not sell his baby (business) to just anybody, and that Dr.Cheema met the highest standards of quality and care.... just like Dr. Sear did. Also Athena likes Dr. Cheema.

    So.. this is going to be long.. I have an 8 year old Basset Hound that has been a medical challenge since she was a pup. She came from a rescue, where she had been surrendered by a breeder because she has a bad leg. She has horrible allergies, sheds like crazy, prone to ear infections, she's HUGE, hates her nails clipped, has arthritis, and in general, is the sweetest mess you've ever met. A month ago, she once again hurt her leg at 3 in the afternoon and our regular vet couldn't fit her in that day. She was in pain, I wasn't going to wait until the next day, so I turned to Yelp to find someone that could take her immediately without waiting for the emergency vet to take walk ins at 6:30. My first phone call, based on the ratings, was to Sears. I was a little hesitant at first because it's a tiny vet practice in a shady area, but boy am I glad I listened to Yelp. Now, it's been a month, and 3 visits total, to see Dr. Cheema, and the change in Sophie is amazing. Not only did he fix her issue in the moment, but for the first time in years her allergies are under control, she has no inflammation in her leg, her blood work is NORMAL, she's shedding less, and she's playing like a puppy with her pup siblings. Plus, they are very reasonably priced, go over their recommendations completely, and give you treatment options with your budget in mind. Dr. Cheema calls you personally to go over test results, and is completely unrushed and answers all your questions. I'm a believer. Thanks Yelpers! I did not expect to be switching vets when this saga started, but he got results with my old girl that no one else has been able to accomplish.

    My husband was very impressed with the care and time Dr Cheema and his team took with our two dogs on their appointment 05/30/15. Last time I took off a star because they looked like they had just been robbed, when you walked into the lobby. This time, it was all nice and neat, so I'm thinking they probably we robbed or something of the sort. The front desk nurses are always really nice, and the wait time isn't bad, WAY less then what I wait when I'm visiting my own doctor. One of our dogs needed lab work done, and its nice that they do that service there. The staff is really knowledgeable and my husband and I felt safe with the decisions that are made. I really enjoyed my experience here and my dogs aren't super stressed when they leave, which is another good sign.

    Took my dog there for a bump on his side and his physical. The staff are amazing and take their time. Prices are reasonable. My dog loved them and I will keep using them as my go to Vet.

    ....................................................................... DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE!!!!! ....................................................................... I hardly write yelp reviews but when it's bad I have too. I went today with my best friends Siberian Husky to check up on her since she just adopted her. Just for the visit was $59 waited 30 mins and then told us the packages we need to get for her dog, they literally pushed us to do PCR work($152), all four X-Rays ($270), ($50) to just shave her to check her skin condition, blood work ($162), and for her med($49), the exam felt so rushed and brought some guy to tell us how much it will come out too, which was $976 something, I told my best friend to not get the skin cleanup and the X-ray but they persisted to get all the x-rays and I told them that were struggling with money at the moment and our limit is under $500, he leaves and changes the prices removing the visit cost and instead of 4 xrays told us to do the 2 X-ray at least , we tried to remove many off the list but they kept telling us the dog needs them all and wasn't clearly understanding that we can't afford it. We finally got everything fixed and they had to make us come back an hour to pick her up, an hour passed they never called us back so we came back and they made us pay and then brought her out (hostageeee) the x rays found out she has bronchitis and they made us pay more for the meds for that and now we have to wait for her results tomorrow. They didn't really help out cause she was backward sneezjng and they said to let her do that. They so ripped us off with the meds even though they knew we were struggling already, it all came out to $495.94 even though we had a limit of $500, they took ALL our money that we had. There's way more nicer vets who understand and cares about your pet more than money. ................................................................................. Nice staff but money driven vet. (Dr. Cheema) .................................................................................

He is a special boy with re leg deformity which makes him more vulnerable so also more reactive but they do so well with him I cannot thank them enough I have raved about Dr. Ortega but Dr. Soto is just as amazing - these doctors are angels to crazy fur mommas like me !

After…read morereading Yelp reviews, Palmdale Veterinary Hospital seemed like the best choice based on its high ratings and positive feedback. Over the past two months, I've been here approximately 6-7 times with our three dogs for exams, vaccines, and an unexpected surgery for my mom's dog, whom I also recommended to this hospital. The surgery itself went well, and the cost was actually very reasonable considering the procedure. Unfortunately, my experience with the customer service has been consistently disappointing. The wait times have been long at nearly every visit. I understand that emergencies happen, but what concerns me more is how clients are treated by the front office staff and office manager. They often come across as dismissive, lacking compassion, and sometimes even condescending. Instead of simply relaying information, they sometimes seem to offer medical explanations that should really come directly from the veterinarian. When I asked to speak with the veterinarian to clarify questions about my dog's care, I was repeatedly routed through several staff members before getting any answers. That process was frustrating and unnecessary. After my mom's dog's surgery, I expected a little more compassion and guidance. Instead, it felt like we were rushed out the door. We received only limited explanations about medications, dosing schedules, and post-operative care. The focus seemed to be on scheduling the next appointment rather than making sure we understood how to care for our pet at home. When we asked why another appointment was necessary, the only explanation given was, "The doctor said so." During one visit, while waiting for my pet, there were three employees at the front desk, yet no one acknowledged me for about 20 minutes. Even after finally checking in, I continued waiting without any updates. Because this has happened repeatedly over multiple visits--not just once--I don't believe these are isolated incidents. The veterinarians appear knowledgeable, and the pricing has been fair. However, the front office is often the first and last interaction clients have, and unfortunately, it leaves a negative impression. I genuinely hope management addresses the customer service experience because I would like to continue bringing my pets here. As it stands, though, I am considering taking my business elsewhere unless I see meaningful improvement.
