    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stitches Veterinary Surgery. We came in during a very stressful time after our dog, Henry Ford, suffered a fractured humerus, and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt supported and genuinely cared for. Dr. Campbell is truly exceptional. He is very knowledgeable and incredibly compassionate. He took the time to explain Henry's injury and treatment plan in a way we could understand and answered every question I had. Knowing our dog was in his care brought us peace of mind. Starr, Dr. Campbell's assistant, was just as impressive. She was gentle, attentive, and reassuring throughout the process, ensuring Henry remained comfortable and well cared for at every step. Liz at the front desk deserves a special mention as well. She was welcoming, organized, and incredibly helpful, making everything run smoothly and stress-free. I also appreciated how transparent they were about pricing. The costs were very reasonable, and they took the time to go over every detail of the pricing plan so there were no surprises or hidden fees. Thanks to this amazing team, Henry Ford received exceptional care, and we will always be grateful. If you're looking for a veterinary surgical team that combines skill, compassion, transparency, and genuine care, I cannot recommend them enough.

    Really can't say enough about the care I received at Stitches Veterinary Surgery with Dr. Campbell and the rest of his team. I had just moved to Long Beach, within two weeks of my ragdoll cat Pouncey's diagnosis of a large kidney tumor that needed to be removed. Truly fortunate that Stitches opened up just earlier this year and is right down the street from me, a beautiful modern surgical clinic and OR suite in one. From the moment Liz took my intake information down to the initial surgery consult, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Campbell understood my anxiety regarding the urgency of the situation and basically held my hand through the entire process, with frequent phone calls and detailed visit notes. He scheduled Pouncey for surgery the very next week. Prices were fair including itemized invoices with which I had no issues getting reimbursed by my insurance. The nephrectomy surgery itself couldn't have gone any better - Dr. Campbell called me immediately afterwards to give me an update. Pouncey healed up quickly without any complications, and his surgical scar improved to the point you can't even see the incision. The best news about all of this was that the tumor pathology turned out to be benign. Thank you to all of the team at Stitches for making Pouncey and my experience so amazing and low stress, and for allowing him to live many more healthy years to come.

    I can't put into words how grateful I am for this team. My dog Silas had been dealing with a recurring mass on his right jaw. We went to multiple hospitals and doctors to try to get Silas relief but none were able to fully remove/drain the mass which kept recurring. I found Dr.Campbell while looking at reviews from a place in Ventura called VetSurg. Although I was no where near Ventura I was willing to make that drive solely based off of the 5 star review from someone who had a similar issue with their dog. I then found that Dr.Campbell had opened his own practice in Long Beach and immediately requested to book a consultation. It's officially been a month since Silas's last recheck and I couldn't be happier with the results. He's back to his happy and healthy self. The entire staff was so welcoming and understanding. I wish this team nothing but success for their future! Thank you Stitches!

    I would drive from anywhere in California to bring my pets to see Dr. Campbell and the amazing staff at Stitches. They truly performed the impossible for my 15 year old chihuahua at a fraction of the cost that a local Los Angeles vet would have cost us. We were devastated to learn that our Quentin doggie had a spleen tumor that was probably bleeding intermittently.... We were told by his vet to either have a splenectomy or put him down to avoid a fatal internal bleed. Dr. Campbell removed his spleen and overgrown parathyroid tissue. Everything from the pictures of the surgery to the incision sites was a work of art- he truly performed human quality medical procedures on our dear doggo. Liz and Missy took care of me all day while I was an absolute WRECK. Together with Dr. Campbell, they have the highest standards for thorough and timely communication. You can tell that each staff member cares about every patient like it is their own pet. Not only did he save Quentin's life, but the transformation in his quality of life has been truly unbelievable. He has reverse aged by 5-8 years!!! He walks with the strength and endurance that he did when he was around 8. Before the surgery he couldn't stand or walk for more than about two minutes. Yesterday, he alternated between walking and standing to sniff for over 25 minutes straight without sitting down once!!! In the house, he used to just lay in his bed with his head down. Now he is curious, active, awake, holding his head hp high, looking around, and interacting with us. To all of the Stitches staff members, you have truly given me the best gift of my lifetime. I think about you every day as I treasure every walk, snuggle, nap, and treat with Quentin.

    Caramelos first day of recovery.

    If I can give 6 stars I definitely would. My whole experience from the consultation to the recovery process was so wonderful. I brought my pup Caramelo to this clinic for his tumor removal surgery & a huge thanks to Dr. Campbell & his awesome team my Caramelo is happy & healthy again. When I went to the consultation I went in so nervous not knowing what to expect & Dr. Campbell gave me a peace of mind knowing everything was going to go well. They truly care so much about your pets/baby's & it truly shows. I feel eternally grateful for Dr. Campbell & the whole staff at Stitches!

    jack recovering from surgery

    Amazing experience here at stitches! My dog, a two year old cane corse was recently diagnosed with bilateral elbow dysplasia. As any concerned dog mom I called so many clinics looking for pricing and orthopedic specialist, even drove my dog to Mexico and had a terrible experience at a well know clinic Vet Playas. When back I came across stitches and gave them a call the receptionist was extremely friendly and immediately gave me rough estimates on pricing for surgery. I made an appt for the following day 8 am for a CT scan. Dr. Courtney and his team are incredible. My Corso is not so friendly, they did everything to make him feel comfortable. They took him in did his CT Scan and by the following day had a diagnosis and plan for treatment. We went ahead did the surgery and we have proceeded with therapy shock wave and PRP therapy to ensure he lives his best pain free life. I am incredible grateful for this whole team from the nurses who greet Jack from the moment we walk in to the friendly receptionist. Dr. Courtney is very knowledgeable and truly has a passion for what he does. Me and my fiancé are both grateful for the care and patience shown to our big bog who is recovering amazingly no longer in pain or limping. Thank you all at Stitches!

    I took my tripod dog there for an exam because we suspected a torn ligament. Dr. Campbell is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My husband had a ton of questions about the procedure and recovery process. Dr. Campbell was thorough in his explanation and helped prepare us for what to expect after surgery.

    How much is boas surgery?

    Hello. We would need to do a thorough exam prior to giving any treatment plan, but BOAS surgery normally is around $6000 for the soft palate shortening and nares opening.

    Do you have an orthopedic surgeon that is well versed in soft palate surgery/nares?

    Hello Criss. Yes, Dr. Campbell has performed many BOAS surgeries. We would love to help if you would like to make an appointment. You can give us a call at 562-579-4899 or use this link to book an appointment online.…

He had localized cancer in one limb and we chose amputation and he lived happily for years with careful follow up within this clinic and was put down with compassion and love when his time came to cross the rainbow bridge. We were mailed a note from staff along with his cremation which we still have. I brought my now senior cat (17 years old) here and did not feel the same kindness and I'm very disappointed and miss the previous team. I was informed we're starting with blood work but his symptoms may indicate neurological up to and including a brain tumor. I do not disagree with this assessment or recommendations as I work in the medical field and brought him in for these concerns. With that said, there is a way to deliver this information with kindness (as I previously received by Dr Gambles practice for my other cat) that was not delivered today. I inquired prior to my appointment if it would have to be a drop off appointment and they said no, exams are with the pet parent present however my cat needed blood work. Feisty as he is, he would need sedation. This sedation I was told was only gas. I'm certainly aware this does not require hours of recovery but I understand the need for drop off. However, I was told they would call me when pickup is ready and I told the tech I need some time frame. I was informed it would be 6+ hours "because we have other clients". I could understand if the rational was sedation for a period of time, but to keep my cat, in distress for being at the vet, for 6+ hours for blood work due to other clients when I made an appt discussing my concerns before coming seems excessive. Upon my question for this concern my cat was just brought out to me. I appreciate this as I do not want my cat in care where his time isn't considered as my main concern is his comfort especially in his age and condition. Overall, I won't be returning. I'm very disappointed in the care that has changed at this clinic. This is not the care that would have ever been delivered with Dr Gamble. **follow up, my cat had an appt with a different clinic and got blood work twice with me present in the room. He was treated with compassion which led to him being compliant without sedation. Additionally, the vet heard a heart murmur that was not discussed at the conclusion of this previous vet assessment. This makes me question the thoroughness of the assessment and the need for sedation as I was not present when they stated they attempted blood work.

I brought my dog in for a routine anesthetic dental cleaning. During the procedure, I received a call saying they needed to extract four teeth and that the total would be $2,400. I've had anesthetic dental cleanings done for my dogs at multiple veterinary hospitals over the years, including procedures with extractions, and I have never paid anywhere near that amount. After my husband questioned the estimate, the cost suddenly dropped to around $1,000 for two extractions. That alone left us wondering how the original quote was determined. The pickup experience was even more disappointing. I was handed three pieces of paper with very little explanation and no medication. Every other veterinarian I've been to has sent my dog home with pain medication directly from the clinic. Instead, I was told I needed to call around to CVS and other pharmacies to find one that could fill the prescriptions. Meanwhile, my poor dog had just undergone oral surgery and was crying in pain. I had to take her home first, then immediately drive to CVS. Once there, the pharmacist spent over 30 minutes on the phone with the vet trying to clarify the prescriptions. Then came the most alarming part of the entire experience. One of the prescribed medications was rejected by the pharmacist because it contained xylitol, a sugar alcohol that is highly toxic to dogs and can be fatal if ingested. I was shocked that this prescription was written in the first place. Had the pharmacist not caught it, I could have unknowingly given my dog a medication containing an ingredient that poses a serious danger to dogs. That was the final straw. I have three dogs and recently moved to Long Beach, so I was hoping to find a veterinary clinic I could trust for years to come. Unfortunately, Pine Animal Hospital has lost what would have been a loyal customer. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic and would encourage others to look elsewhere.

When I finally spoke with the doctor nearly a month later, he seemed to think we had already discussed the results. I had to remind him that we had only talked about the initial findings and that the entire reason I paid for the additional review was because he recommended it. I also requested my cat's medical records and was told they would be emailed to me, but they never were. The staff were always friendly and professional, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. My concern was never the friendliness of the team, but the lack of communication and follow-through. Had the findings been more serious, the delay in follow-up could have had much greater consequences. At the end of the day, I'd rather have prompt communication than have to repeatedly chase down results while worried about my pet's health. Time for a new vet.
