Santa Monica Pet Medical Center

I have brought 3 generations of dogs here, and we primarily see Dr. Hernandez. She is great, and I trust her expertise. All the staff are kind and caring. Dr. Hernandez recently stepped up to help my foster puppy with a medical emergency, and used their donation fund to defray some of the expenses to help the rescue group. Thank you for your heroic teamwork!

I am more than pleased with Santa Monica Pet Center. I have been taking my furbaby there for the past 5 months since I adopted her and they have been nothing but kind and compassionate with excellent care. I love Dr Hernandez. I met another female vet when Dr. Hernandez wasn't available and she was also extremely thorough. The staff is kind. Phone calls are returned promptly. I am a very nervous mommy and they make me feel at ease. Yes they are on the expensive side, but isn't everything these days?? Peace of mind is important .. and so far that's what they give me. I found this place through online references and feel I got quite lucky.

I was horrified when my dog had blood in his urine on a Saturday morning. They took me that afternoon. They took all the needed tests and sent me home with the needed medication. Still waiting on test results but their action was Swift and kind. My dog is not an easy dog to handle when he's getting poked and prodded and they took that burden off my hands too. Those vet techs deserve a medal.

I came back in October. Taken me a while to experience other vets but I knew this was not the experience I wanted. Had a 4.5 month pup. First time pet owner. Wanted this place to work out. The service was very transactional. Lots of waiting to get an appointment date. Fill out a lot of info. Then finally got an appointment a week away. The first available. Then waited an hour after the appointment time to get seen I showed up a few minutes early. No one was friendly here except for the technician. Then gave me some diagnosis of worms and Giardia but didn’t help. More about protecting themselves and giving plenty of caveats for care. No thanks. But they are busy so I doubt this review helps as well. Plenty of people will still come here. Thank you for giving me a huge wake up call to the vet industry as a first time owner. Warm warm welcome!!
