When I noticed my dog Ruby acting strangely while eating and spitting out her food, I checked her…read moremouth and was surprised to find what appeared to be a fracture on one of her large back teeth. I immediately emailed the clinic with a few photos, and within 20 minutes I had both an email response and a phone call (just in case I missed the email), along with an appointment confirmed for 8am the very next morning with enough time reserved to perform an extraction if needed. The responsiveness alone was impressive. At drop-off, the surgery technician, Jorge, was incredible. He was knowledgeable, personable, and immediately put us at ease, especially since this was Ruby's first surgery requiring anesthesia. During our conversation and bringing up a certain topic, he mentioned he recently attended a dental conference which reassured us that the team is committed to continuing education and staying current with best practices. Dr. Gertz, whom Ruby has seen previously for routine care, was wonderful as always. She performed the initial exam, confirmed that the tooth appeared fractured, and explained that the team would call with a definitive diagnosis once dental X-rays had been completed. The treatment plan was straightforward - anesthesia, dental X-rays, bloodwork to ensure levels were appropriate before surgery, and a cleaning with extraction if necessary. A few hours after drop-off, we received a call confirming that the tooth was indeed fractured, although surprisingly still alive. Dr. Luna took the time to thoroughly explain the findings and our options. At no point did we feel pressured. She clearly outlined the pros and cons of proceeding versus monitoring the tooth and explained that leaving it untreated would likely lead to problems in the future. After discussing everything, we decided to move forward with the extraction since she was already under anesthesia. No more than a few minutes later, the team called again because they realized the cost of the updated treatment plan had not been reviewed. I actually hadn't noticed because I already trusted that the recommendation was medically appropriate and that the pricing would be fair (which it was). Still, I appreciated their transparency and professionalism in making sure every detail was discussed before proceeding. When we picked Ruby up around 2:00pm, Jorge spent considerable time reviewing her full-mouth dental X-rays with us and explaining exactly why the extraction was recommended. It was fascinating to learn more about canine dentistry, and we left feeling far more informed than when we arrived. He answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly (even the ones that were already covered in the aftercare packet we had just been handed!). We also were given a full sized sample of a recommended oral rinse for regular maintenance. Ruby recovered exceptionally well from the surgery, which was a huge relief. She had previously undergone sedation prior to X-rays at another clinic years ago and did not have a great experience, so we were naturally nervous. This time, her recovery was smooth, the extraction site is healing beautifully, and she came home comfortable with appropriate pain medication. She has shown no signs of discomfort throughout the recovery process. I also want to recognize Lauren at the front desk. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the process. She worked with us to ensure detailed notes were included in Ruby's chart to help prevent potential insurance issues and even went a step further by following up with the doctor after we left to request additional documentation that could support a smoother claims process. That level of attention and advocacy is rare and deeply appreciated. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We even received a call a few days after her surgery to simply check in on her recovery. From the front office staff to the technicians and veterinarians, every person we interacted with was compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in Ruby's well-being. The communication was outstanding, the care was exceptional, and we never once felt rushed or pressured. Ruby is family to us, and the trust we place in those caring for her is not something we take lightly. We are incredibly grateful for the entire team and feel completely confident entrusting them with the health and care of both of our dogs. Bonus: they were giving out adorable supergirl bandanas they received as promo material!

Our cat took a sudden turn for the worse, and we knew that same day we had to say goodbye. My heart…read morewas already so heavy for my mom. She was losing her cat, and it had only been a few months since we lost our family dog too. It felt like too much all at once. In the middle of that grief, I got on the phone trying to find somewhere, anywhere, that could help us in time. I called five vets. Two of them were so cold and dismissive to me while I was clearly falling apart, and it genuinely stunned me that anyone could treat a person that way during a moment like this. The other three just didn't have room. I remember sitting there feeling so lost, wondering how I was supposed to hold everything together for my mom when I couldn't even get someone to help us. Then I found Seacoast. The receptionist who picked up changed everything. She was so gentle with me. She let me get the words out, she listened, she answered every question with so much patience, and she never once made me feel like a burden. After being brushed off twice already by the other vet clinics, her kindness hit me hard. I kept thanking her, over and over, because I didn't know how else to express what that meant to me in that moment. When my parents brought our girl in later that day, the staff met them with the same tenderness. They were gentle, caring, and present with my parents during the hardest goodbye. In her final moments, our sweet girl was calm and peaceful, surrounded by her family and by the wonderful staff at Seacoast, who treated her with as much love as we did. This clinic didn't just take care of our cat, they took care of us. They saw us as people who were hurting, not just another appointment. I will be forever grateful to Seacoast Animal Health Center for showing us so much compassion on one of the worst days of our lives. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of our hearts.

That's this pet clinic. They do not do well with dogs labeled "aggressive breed" (not aggressive, just labeled aggressive) they are among those who contribute to ignorance about certain breeds. They would do best to stick to medical care of the dogs instead of giving their opinions when unasked. They are not well versed and do not do a good job at welcoming their clients.

We recognize and respect the deep bond between owners and their pets and our goal is to help that relationship thrive by keeping your pet healthy and playful. Our experience did not feel that they were committed to compassion, they did not stick to medical expertise, and they are extremely disrespectful and had bad bedside manner. We are responsible pet owners and people and they definitely pre-judged us and our animals.

They found his heart was the problem, was the reason he was building up water fluid in his belly, and pooping blood. He got meds and he lived another year and a half was better than having him put to sleep. He was my baby. I knew my dog, I told her he is like that. He gets so nervous he has a nervous reaction and she said no that's not normal. He must have neurological problems.

I want other pet owners to know exactly what happened here, because I made a 6-hour round-trip…read moredecision based on what this hospital told me, and every key thing turned out to be wrong. My dog Mousse suddenly lost the use of his back legs (IVDD), and time was critical. I spent last week calling dozens of vets for pricing. On Thursday afternoon, I called this hospital and was quoted $5,000-$9,000 for the MRI and surgery. I asked specifically whether that price included both the MRI and the surgery, because every hospital in LA had quoted me $14,000-$15,000, and I was told yes. I also asked, explicitly, if a neurologist could see him that night if I arrived before 8pm. I was told yes, they were on call until 8. So I took a three-hour Uber with my paralyzed dog, trusting he'd be cared for on arrival. I got there at 7pm. They checked him in. Fifteen minutes later I was told the neurologist was NOT coming that night, he'd be seen "in the morning." Then I was told the actual cost would be $15,000, not the $5,000-$9,000 I was quoted hours earlier. No reasonable person drives three hours each way with a paralyzed dog to pay the same price quoted at home, the only reason I made that trip was the quote they gave me. When I asked them to pull the recorded call to verify what I'd been told, I was informed no one could access the recording until Monday, and that someone would follow up. No one ever did. I had to call them myself a full week later (today) at which point I was told the call "wasn't recorded," despite their phone system announcing that calls may be recorded. When I escalated, the supervisor admitted that the front desk should never have quoted me prices at all and that she could not confirm what I was actually told on that call. To make it worse: the only thing offered that night was an ER exam I didn't need, my dog had already been evaluated by two ER vets that week. I came for a neurologist. During that exam, when I expressed concern that Mousse was in obvious pain I had to ask for pain medication for my suffering dog. I took another three-hour Uber home with nothing resolved. Between the inaccurate quote, the neurologist who was promised and never showed, the "unrecorded" call, and the complete lack of follow-up, this was one of the most emotionally draining experiences of an already devastating week. I would never recommend this place to anyone who loves their animal. Imani and Mousse

I can give this review now based not only on my experience but on subsequent comparison to another facility. I called Dr Knox's office and expressly told them that Milo's surgeon had recommended water therapy - either treadmill or swimming - which they told me they provided. Here's where it went wrong, and is very different to the facility I have since switched to: 1. Charged me an upfront fee of $150 book the appointment (10 days out) 2. The appointment was close to 60 mins all in all and included ZERO therapy, but simply an exam - which I didn't need since Milo had just had one at his follow up appointment with his surgeon. 3. I was given no paperwork showing what the exam (heat exam?) showed 4. Worst of all.... after the appointment they told me they were mistaken in saying they could offer swimming rehab to Milo since he was still slightly incontinent following surgery and I'd need to wait until that was resolved! That had been part of the reason we were referred to therapy in the first place. 5. And finally - there was confusion over a new price "combo" they were offering and told me they'd email me the following day to give me an estimate of the price that the two other modalities they could offer Milo would be. No email received. No follow up with me whatsoever. Silver lining - Milo today had an appointment elsewhere with a wonderful facility. 1 hour, swimming AND electric stim therapy included, $100. Looking forward to getting him back to health. But sadly Dr Knox and his team have not been a part of this.
