    Before surgery

    I truly believe some dogs are meant to find the people they are meant to find, and our dog's story is a perfect example of that. My daughter rescued him from the pound about a year ago. He was scheduled to be euthanized that day and was in terrible condition--extremely skinny, covered in skin issues, and suffering from serious eye problems. They thought he was around 10 years old, but we later learned he was only about 2. We eventually discovered that his eye problems were caused by entropion. Dr. Sheahan agreed to take him on as a patient. Knowing he was a rescue, she went above and beyond to help make sure he could receive the care he needed. Her kindness and generosity meant so much to our family. He can be a little challenging in new environments and around people he doesn't know, and Dr. Sheahan and her team were wonderful with him. They were patient, understanding, and willing to work with him. They never made us feel like he was difficult or a problem. His surgery went extremely well, and the results have been amazing. The pictures show his eyes before surgery and just two weeks afterward, and the difference is incredible. His eyes look awesome, and he is going to have a much better quality of life because of this surgery. I truly feel like this dog has had angels looking out for him ever since my daughter found him at the pound, and Dr. Sheahan and her clinic are definitely part of that story. The entire clinic has been amazing. Every person we encountered was professional, caring, compassionate, and patient. They supported us throughout his recovery, and being able to call or text with questions--even on weekends and holidays--and get answers and help was incredible. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Sheahan and her clinic. If you're in doubt about where to go, go here. You will not only receive excellent medical care, but you will also receive genuine, heartfelt care for your animal. You can truly feel how much they care about the animals they treat, and honestly, you can't put a price on that. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Sheahan and everyone at her clinic for taking such good care of our dog. We truly can't thank them enough.

    I brought my cat Toshi to Veterinary Eye Clinic for a dark spot that appeared in his iris. I was concerned that it was something serious, but fortunately it was benign. They explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner and the doctors were very warm, kind, and treated my cat like their own. Everyone involved in his care was welcoming and compassionate. I would definitely bring him back for any future concerns. Thank you everyone!

    We are so grateful that we know Dr. Jennifer Sheahan. We are new owners to a baby bunny and noticed that his eyes were watery. I called Dr. Jennifer Sheahan and she knew exactly what to do. We quickly made an appointment to see her within a couple days and she performed a few different tests to make sure there wasn't anything else underlying. They flushed her eyes out and she was instantly cured. No more watery eyes. Her staff was amazing and very kind. Treated our bunny like it was their own. Thank you Toby! I would definitely recommend Dr. Sheahan to anyone who has animal eye issues.

    Nearly fully recovered!

    Dr. Sheahan and her team at Veterinary Eye Clinic saved my cat Betsy's eye (including her vision), and possibly saved her life. After wasting precious time and money with inadequate care elsewhere, I got lucky and found Dr. Sheahan and the Veterinary Eye Clinic. I was initially impressed by her detailed and thorough demeanor, and now I am an advocate for Dr. Sheahan and the Veterinary Eye Clinic based on the care and results achieved. My cat Betsy underwent a complex CCT procedure to remove a corneal sequestrum and repair her cornea. I would encourage anyone reading this to do their research. If you've made it this far, your pet is likely facing some sort of potentially serious eye issue. There are very few veterinary ophthalmologists on the planet, and only a subset of them who regularly achieve successful outcomes. If my cat Betsy ever faces any veterinary issues again, Dr. Sheahan is the first and only person I'm calling!

    Pepper after cataract surgery on both eyes :)

    We had a great experience with the Veterinary Eye Clinic - doctors and team! They are compassionate, explained the "why" and process before they do anything with Pepper, quick in providing supporting documentation for pet insurance reimbursements, and provided my little girl, Pepper, with the best gift - her eye sight! Pepper was 12 years young, with a healed ulcer and slight cataract on her left eye, and more noticeable cataract on her right eye. Dr. Goldenberg and team [covering for Dr. Sheahan during maternity leave] - Thank you, thank you for giving Pepper a chance! Pepper was going to another veterinary ophthalmologist for a year, and her right eye condition continued to decline due to aging. When asked about cataract surgery for Pepper, the doctor became hesitant when she learned that Pepper has a heart murmur, even though Pepper's heart murmur has been stable for years. Dr. Goldenberg, you did not hesitate when you learned about Pepper's heart murmur and that she was 12 years young. You provided information about what cataract surgery will entail, explained complicated matters in a way we can understand, answered all our questions, and provided guidance on the next steps of various tests to see if Pepper is a good candidate for cataract surgery. You provided recommendations for having an anesthesiologist during her surgery, which we did not know was an option. It brought us extra comfort that we could add-on the anesthesiologist services because of Pepper's heart murmur. Dr. Sheahan and team - Thank you, thank you so much for giving Pepper the best gift - her eyesight! We had tears of joy when we noticed that Pepper could see again! First night at home, she was curious and wanted to explore the house. As days went by, Pepper was able to maneuver around furniture, felt confident going down the stairs, gave her independence back to roam free in the house, and being able to see the doggy door so she can go potty by herself! With all Pepper's complicated health conditions, you were careful and mindful of the medication that Pepper should receive. You responded quickly when we had questions about Pepper's recovery. You explain complicated matters in a way we can understand, and you always have a book ready that we can take pictures of to further understand Pepper's eye conditions and what to look for. You are kind, professional, knowledgeable, and truly love your job! Thank you again for all you do and the services you provide for your community. It is a hard job! Bless you all!

    Dr. Jennifer Sheehan is truly an exceptional veterinary ophthalmologist. She beautifully corrected my bulldog's cherry eyes, and she has also successfully treated my Boston Terrier's corneal ulcers twice--once in each eye. Her expertise, precision, and compassionate care have given my dogs the best possible outcomes every time. What sets Dr. Sheehan apart is not only her incredible skill but also how genuinely caring she is. She takes the time to explain everything, treats my pets as if they were her own, and always makes me feel confident that they're in the best hands. I gladly travel several hours to see Dr. Sheehan because I know the quality of care she provides is worth every mile. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her caring for my dogs, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for the very best in veterinary eye care. Dr Laura Mann

    Dr. Sheahan is amazing! My dog has a bad eye injury and my best friend who's in the vet industry referred me to her. It was an hour drive for me but it was so worth it!!! Dr. Sheahan explained everything in such detail, but in a way us normal folk can understand it. She showed me everything going on in his eye, all the images, had me take pics with my cell from books that had pictures and write-ups of what I needed to keep an eye out for in the future (no pun intended lol) and she played a video for me to watch while they ran tests in the back that taught me how to test my dog's vision tracking. I really can't say enough about her and the care she gave my sweet Teddy! He was already feeling so much better the very next day! If your fur baby needs an eye doctor, you could not choose a better doctor to take them too!

    Dr Sheehan and her team put me and my dog at such ease! after a follow up with our general vet they said we should try to see if we can get an appt with an ophthalmologist before our next follow up. I called their Alhambra office but their next available wasn't until 2 weeks. I called their Pomona office and they were able to get me in within the next 2 hrs. They also had an open slot where the doctor would be in and out with other patients and they'd be able to squeeze us in if we couldn't make the 12pm spot since we had an hour+ drive from LA. We got there 1230 and were seen within 15 mins. My dog isn't the most comfortable at the vet but they were patient with him. We were able to leave the room since he's a bit protective and watch from outside with a peep hole (never had the opportunity to do that) Dr Sheehan educated us on my dog's melting ulcer and how severe it was. She wanted to make sure there wasn't anything lodged inside so we had to sedate my dog but they did it very quickly. Her and her team were also conscious of the costs and sedating my dog for the 2nd time that week. Her front desk team was also so so so responsive before I got there. They upped our eye drop meds from our general vet. I'd send in photos to their team and they'd review it within that day and give me a call. They really put you at ease with how much care they provide for you and your dog. After sending another set of photos and videos to them, Dr Sheehan had called me directly after a long day at the clinic to reassure my dog's eye looks good/healing. Although it's a bit of a drive, I can rest easy knowing my dog is in good hands with Dr Sheehan and her team! I'm glad I was able to find them via yelp/google reviews too!

    Our Benjamin lost his vision on a Thursday night. We found Dr. Sheahan next day and she diagnosed him with the cataract on right eye and lens luxation on left eye. She recommended we take care of both eyes while being completely open about the possible outcomes, both negative and positive. She was able to assemble a team that Saturday for his surgeries. She also mentioned that she's going out of town the following week but her team of doctors and staffs will be able to help us and that she will be in touch herself via text. Benjamin came out of the surgeries with vision back immediately on his right eye. Dr. Sheahan stayed true to her words by making sure that we were able to keep track of the recovery process. Dr. Chang, Dr. Potnis and everyone at both Pomona and Alhambra locations helped us measuring his eye pressures and check on healing of his scars, even seeing us on 4th on July. They sent us home with a print out every visit with clear instructions on how to administer several eye drops and medications. Thanks to all of their help, Benjamin regained visions on both eyes about two weeks after the surgeries. We have worked with countless vets over 20 years as pet owners, but nobody comes close to Dr. Sheahan. We are so grateful we found her and highly recommend her to everyone.

    This is such a wonderful practice. I was terrified my 13 year old golden boy would need surgery requiring sedation when this "thing" popped up in his eye. Dr Goldenberg understood my fears and suggested that rather than rush into surgery, we try two weeks of a steroid anabiotic ointment twice a day and hope that treatment would resolve it. Well, she was right, and you can see the proof in the photos. I could not be more thrilled! I'm pretty sure a lot of other places would've wanted to rush right into surgery and I'm very thankful that our Dr took a more educated and conservative approach and didn't do something that would cause unnecessary stress to my old boy. Thank you a million times over for your excellent care ! I would give you 5000 stars if I could

Dr. Molnar handled everything so calmly and efficiently--it took him only a few minutes to do what we had been struggling with for so long.

He was a rescue as a puppy and had some sort of issue his entire 14 year life but I was lucky to have the means (and pet insurance) to treat any and all issues. That being said, paws and claws has been through with Renly: intestinal blockage surgeries, cancerous lump removal, epilepsy treatment, liver treatment,Osteoarthritis treatments. And because of them my husky lived 14 happy, pain free, years with amazing quality of life until literally his last day. We've been through several vets in the many years of patronage but Dr.D has been our vet for the last couple years and without a doubt her treatments are why my dog lived to 14 pain free and happy. Yes they are expensive, Woodland Hills, but pets are expensive. I highly recommend pet insurance for all pets as that is the reason I was always able to treat my dog. Last: the staff. Everyone at the front desk and the techs are amazing but I have to specifically point out Xavier, who has gone above and beyond for us more than once, and was the one to help renly pass, as they had their own special bond. and Bailey who has been there for us for many years as well. Now I have brought home a 10 month old east valley rescue who had kennel cough and several other shelter related issues and Dr. D has treated him appropriately and he is recovering quickly. I'll never go anywhere else. Love you guys!

This is not my first review of our beloved Dr G, and I just recommended her to 6 more people again just these past 2 weeks.

She's not only compassionate, present and knowledgeable, but also she does not oversell." Besides all the regular check ups, Dr G. has performed 2 substantial surgeries on my pup in the last 8 years here at Paws & Claws; she has been extremely kind, providing valuable reassuring step-by-step updates throughout, especially aware that I had lost my beloved first dog, (with a different vet), when he did not make it through the anesthesia... In the 8 years Dr G. has been our one and only vet; everyone I have sent to Dr G. has fallen in love with her, and has thanked me for the referral. I found her many years ago when I was dissatisfied with a busy veterinary front desk in Sherman Oaks, after they had made errors in my first dog's chart. Unfortunately he passed, and I learned that finding the RIGHT professional truly makes ALL the difference. So yes, I still drive from Sherman Oaks. Gratefully so :) I am thankful that my cherished pups are her patients. Her ethics, her care, her kindness, her knowledge, her integrity - she's our number 1!!!

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.

    On December 1, 2025, my pup looked at me, and I knew it was time. Our family had called upon Dr…read more Gonzalez before, so there was no question in my mind who to call again. Unlike our previous experience where we were able to book ahead of time and plan for our pup's passing, this was a circumstance where our baby needed immediate services -- his body was failing. Once I saw our senior 13-yr old pup was telling me it was okay, I called Dr. Gonzalez at 7pm. She was at our home by 10pm. Our pup had been sick for several years, and in that last week, our primary vet had already told us his health was declining, so we at least knew the end was near. And I had already mentally prepared to be strong and let him go when he needed to -- so I had Dr. Gonzalez's number on hand. We live in an apartment building, so we reserved a spot for her in our lot as close as possible to an exit. She came upstairs to our home, and she had brought all her equipment. I had already imagined how I wanted this experience to go for my once in a lifetime soul pup. I sat on his favorite place on the sofa, and I had him in my lap. Dr. Gonzalez gave me a pee pad to wrap around him within the blanket understanding there could be an accident in the process as his body released his spirit. I had a candle lit. I had soft music playing. We had low lighting on to honor what was about to happen. Dr. Gonzalez was also super accommodating to our 2nd puppy who was curious about her and wondering what was happening to his big brother. She didn't shoo him away -- she invited us to keep the puppy around so he can know his big brother was about to pass on. She gave us time to speak to Nuxx, love on him, and then let him go. Then, it finally happened. And Dr. Gonzalez stepped out of our apartment for awhile, giving our little family time to grieve, sob, and hold our baby close. Our puppy sniffed him too and said his goodbyes. Then she came back, and she asked us if we wanted to be the ones to carry him out or she was happy to do so. My husband carried him, myself and our puppy followed along -- felt like a procession down our apartment hallway. We got to Dr. Gonzalez's car, and we gently placed our baby's body in her car, and said our goodbyes again. Then...it was done. Throughout the experience, Dr. Gonzalez was so incredibly supportive, gentle, understanding, and patient. What else can you ask for when such a heartbreaking thing is occurring? When a spirit is literally fading in your arms? I am still not over losing him, but at least I know we gave him the most peaceful send-off we could: in his own home, in our arms, surrounded by so much love. If / when we need to go through again, I will continue to call on Dr. Gonzalez. RIP Nuxx.

    We are grateful to Dr. Gonzales at Gemcore for helping us through one of the most difficult moments…read morewe have ever experienced. Dr. Gonzales was professional, compassionate, and helpful. She took the time to explain the euthanasia process clearly and gently, answered all of our questions, and helped us understand what to expect. Having someone so patient and caring with us during such an emotional time meant a great deal.

    You always want to find a great, but reasonably priced and experienced veterinarian for your pets,…read morebut Dr. Berens and her entire staff are a cut above in terms of experience and care, pricing, and have the kindest hearts of any vet office I've ever been to. Our kitten, Dweezil recently passed away very quickly and suddenly from FeLV related cancer. We had taken her to an emergency vet hospital and only listed Dr.Berens as her primary vet care on the intake form, so it wasn't even where Dweezil was eventually put down, and Dr.Berens and her staff sent us with the kindest condolence card to us, with each member of her staff who had met Dweezil writing something about her. It was the personal touch of each message on the card that stood out, and that was so kind and very helpful to us in our grief. This is an office that from the top down and bottom up is more interested in making sure your pet gets what they need, than they are about squeezing as much as they can out of you. I can't recommend this place more, you won't be sorry and your pets will be better off for it.

    As owners of two big dogs and a lizard, we have limited options for local exotic animal clinics…read more Thank god for Dr. Berens! She is so kind and knowledgeable, and takes the time to really understand the issue, explore every potential cause, and find the best possible solution. Sure, things can be a bit slow sometimes, but I dont know why so many reviews mention that as if every single dr or vet's office DOESN'T have long wait times. They're way faster than any other clinic I've visited regardless. The team has always been friendly towards us and I feel very comfortable with both our furry and scaly babies in their care.
