About this business
Where experience matters. Family Owned and Operated. Santa Monica Pet Medical Center has been serving the Westside since 1961. Our doctors and senior staff have been with us, on average, for over 15 years. That's experience and dedication that you're not going to find at any other hospital. We only schedule 30 minute appointments so that you and your doctor can have a complete, un-rushed conversation about your pet's health. We are family owned and operated. That means that we make our own decisions about what treatment plan... read more

Dr Hillsbrandt Is an excellent vet. Our first visit she was so thourough. I appreciate her kindness and care. She spent. A lot of time with our puppy and what steps to take prior to surgery. She even called me a few days later to go over my puppies blood lab work . The staff is very friendly and excellent on the phone. I would recommend this veterinary office %. Plus they have lots of chocolate for their clients. So sweet
Im so so happy I joined this vet! From the start, Cece was so wonderful to schedule a same-week appointment for my cat. Dr. Japinder Grewal was amazing, he explained what needed to be done thoroughly and about the results of tests (which took 1 day to get back!). He checked in 2x after my pet's appointment to see how he was progressing and he solved a year-long battle of sniffles & coughs that my cat was experiencing. Unlike Modern Animal which is where my cat was initially--they tried to upcharge me on at least 3 unneces... read more
Brought my 17 year old cat because she wasn't feeling well. The staff were welcoming and professional. The facility is clean and neat. Dr. Prado was amazing. She explained what medical procedures would be necessary in order to determine the best treatment for my cat's medical condition. I think this is the first veterinarian that has called several times to follow up on my pet's health progress. I would highly recommend this pet medical center.
Our German Shorthaired Pointer 'Cash' has extreme environmental allergies, diet sensitivities, and recurring ear infections. Like most dogs, he is highly anxious at the vet. Dr. Grewal sat on the floor with Cash for a few minutes to get him comfortable and walked through the range of symptoms. He explained what things could be related and what treatment would be necessary and unnecessary, offering alternative medications or diet changes. Hopefully we won't have to be back too often but this is the only doctor we'll see!
My husband and I were hiking and our baby must've gotten stung or something stuck in his nose. He started sneezing uncontrollably and blood even came out of his nose. Our close friend recommended Dr. Hillebrand and she could not have been a better choice. We were greeted by the staff with a warm and validating smile. When my dog is in pain I feel so helpless and they assured me he would be ok. The Dr was one of the nicest vets (or people for that matter) I've ever encountered. I was in and out very quickly and they gave my b... read more
Many great things to say about SMPMC, however, this review is specifically about one of the team members, Monica Munoz. Monica is always upbeat, friendly, a great listener and always willing to go the extra mile in providing great customer service be it on the phone or when I have to bring my dogs to the office. It's stressful enough dealing with medical issues for our pets and while Monica understands this, she always try's to take care of the clients needs so that you as the client can test assure that everything behind t... read more

Thank you so much! You made her day!
I've been taking my dog Rosie to Santa Monica Pet Medical Center for the past 6 years. Just this morning, I took her in for her annual rattlesnake vaccine. Their vet tech Max couldn't be nicer - professional, kind, caring and knew exactly how to administer the shot without causing undue stress and trauma. I'm always happy with our wellness (and other) visits to this vet, but after this morning I really wanted to call attention to how nice they are (office staff, vet techs, veterinarians). They are super helpful with gett... read more

Thank you so much! You made his day!
We just got a new puppy and he went in yesterday for his first visit. Everyone was so friendly and gentle with him. He is going to be a big dog so ease of handling is going to be mandatory in the future, and they were so helpful by allowing me to handle him for the exam and create a positive association with the entire process and visit. Dr. Hernandez was wonderful, as usual, and Dr. George came in between surgeries to meet our new little guy, which I was very happy about. We have driven over the hill to SMPMC for more tha... read more
I have had five dogs over the past 30 years and every single one of them has received excellent care from the doctors, techs and receptionists at SMPMC. Everyone is always friendly, welcoming and accommodating during both regular check-ups and emergencies. Dr. George is amazing and I can't recommend him enough. I credit his care to the reason why my chow chow is turning 17 years old this year and still going strong! He truly cares about his patients and takes the time to address the issues they are having. Dr Hernandez is al... read more
