I was coming here with my dog Leo for ozone therapy and acupuncture for his cancer for about a year…read moreand it seemed to really help him! Unfortunately when Leo turned for the worst I knew it was time to set up the appointment to say good bye to him, when I called the woman on the phone was so absurdly rude!! I asked if they offered it with along we cremation and the woman just says "yes". I asked how much and she seemed very annoyed her reply "idk it depends on the size of the dog" I told her he was 5lbs and she let out a sigh because she had to look it up. She gave me a price range. Then I asked if the cremation was done individually or in a group she told me it was in a group so I told her I'd give her a call back because I wanted to talk to my fiancé about if that's what we wanted to do with him. I then told the woman that we were already patients there and her whole attitude changed, her tone of voice got soft and was then apologetic. It rubbed me the wrong way so we took our Leo else where to say goodbye. The vet techs and the vet who did our acupuncture were always so kind but their receptionists always seemed annoyed to be there and after this experience over the phone I will no longer be recommending this vet. Leo really liked the vet techs, so unfortunate. Saying bye to a pet is not easy, especially to make the call to set up the appointment so you'd think they'd have SOME compassion for these situations. Very disappointed.

Well, great big bummer. Dr. Bittan has closed his office, another tragedy of the covid shutdown…read more He was the only vet Joey would tolerate, and the only one who could give him acupuncture. Sigh.

Seriously, all of the reviews for Dr. Bittan do not do him justice. He's a DVM that made the move…read moreover to a holistic practice. It's the best of both worlds because he comprehends the western and practices and treats with eastern medicine. My dog Ace was first diagnosed by his vet that he had been seeing for his first 10 years, since I adopted him at 3 months old. His health was great, no hiccups, only one small foxtail in the ear problem. Until his 15 yr old black lab cousin, Bella Dioji passed due to old age and then less than 8 months later, his Corgi/Chow sister passed due to stomach cancer. He had what we thought was a seizure after Bella's passing. Took him to the vet and they said, it was isolated so we just have to keep an eye on it. He then had one on the day we were to take Poochie in to put her to sleep. So we took him in to the vet, they ran bloodwork but didn't really think much of it and said they wanted to continue to watch him. Then he had on the next day and the next. Finally, after taking him in one last time, they suggested I take Ace to a neurologist. We had been seeing Dr. Bittan for Poochie's stomach cancer and decided to bring Ace in as well. He assessed him and asked that we see the neurologist as the other vet had recommended as well. Dr. Bittan directed us to the VCA Specialty Hospital in West Los Angeles. I made an appointment, took him in, they assessed him and immediately, the Neurologist said, she can't help him yet, he has a heart issue. 5 mins later, the Cardiologist came in and from there, it was a rollercoaster. They stabilized his condition then the syncopate episodes (which we originally thought were seizures) started happening again. Long story short, Ace had heart surgery, he did great for a week, then his kidneys began to fail due to the western medicine meds he needed to be on. A few days later, he was lethargic, ok, beyond, he was just laying on the floor, almost lifeless. He wasn't urinating or pooping and I decided to leave him overnight on an IV to see if he could flush the toxins out. Dr. Bittan had finally gotten the test results of the surgery and bloodwork and immediately had Max (his awesome assistant) call to tell me to bring him in. I was on the phone calling different places trying to find a vet that would put him to sleep at the beach, his favorite place. Dr. Bittan looked at him, studied his charts and asked me to commit 5 days to him to try to help Ace. I struggled with my decision, Ace was not Ace at the moment and I didn't want him to suffer. I decided to do let Dr. Bittan have his go at it. He gave Ace a shot, and about 8 different drops to give him every hour on the hour that night. I had to go to the post office so my roommate gave Ace is first dose in the car. By this time it had been at least 48 hours since he had pee'd. We arrived home an hour later and I had my roommate put him on the grass to see if he might want to try. He wobbled a bit, he was week, he hadn't been eating as well. Lo and behold, the little boy pee'd, he pee'd for what seemed to be a whole minute! That was the sign that he was fighting and he was going to be ok. Here I am now, writing this review, almost 7 months later, and the boy is alive and kicking AND happy. Our western medicine and eastern medicine docs communicate and work together to keep my boy as healthy as he can be. He has a couple of very serious conditions that have to be address from time to time but the combination of eastern and western meds have been phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bittan, you won't be sorry.

I am so happy with our first visit here and to meet our new vet, Tyler Bloedel. I really appreciate…read morethat the vet tech listened to my request to weigh one of my bunnies with the scale on the floor since she can be very feisty and will try and leap off of it. The vet technician was very kind and gentle with both of my rabbits. Tyler was great and did a thorough exam on both of my rabbits and then gave them their vaccines. He handled them with patience and care. The vet tech took them out of the room to clip their nails and brought them back minutes later. We received a new patient bag that had lots of rabbit information, treats and some hay. I really appreciated this information because it included harmful plants and what vegetables they can eat. It was a great experience and we definitely found our new vet in Ventura.

Dr. Pasternak saved my cat's life and I cannot thank him enough!!…read more He was extremely knowledgeable, kept my cat calm and comfortable during every visit, and answered every question I had with detail. I've been to at least 4 different vets in Los Angeles, and he is the first one that seems to actually care more about the animals than making a huge profit. I was able to be seen almost immediately every single visit. My cat was in pretty bad shape when I first brought her in, but it took less than a week for her to make a full recovery, and now she purrs every time she's in Dr. Pasternak's office! The vet techs were also amazing, very sweet and helpful! I am so happy to have found this place!

But his dismissive, arrogant and rude behavior I will no longer tolerate. He does not listen to you, interrupts me when explaining my dogs aliment in a follow up appointment and basically told me what I was doing wrong to heal my dog although I did what I thought was best at 2pm last night. As a small business owner myself, I would never treat a customer(s) like he does. His staff and techs are very nice. Time for a change......
