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

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

We've been coming to SMPMC since the mid-90s. We just brought our cats in for check ups and found the entire staff and Dr. O'Donnell super thoughtful, attentive and caring. Thank you, PMC!

Dr. Annie Hernandez has been my veterinarian for over 20 years. I always recommend and refer people to SMPMC. And and the staff at the Santa Monica pet medical center are awesome.

Today I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jones and my puppy Minnie. Everybody in the office was truly amazing, their knowledge and expertise and their compassion is above what you normally see. Minnie was not in any way nervous while we were there and that was a huge sign that we knew we were in the right place. And I am so happy to return to Dr. Jones and the new staff at this location since my return to living in Santa Monica. I highly recommend them.

I've been going to Santa Monica pet medical for a about 4 years now, although I'll admit they are probably a bit pricey, they've always shown genuine care for my dog. The first time I ever went the vet made sure not to note that my dog had a rash because she knew I was getting pet insurance and it would raise the price so she took it off the record. All the other times I've went they had a good understanding that I love my dog but I'm not loaded so never judged me when I felt unsure about doing a certain procedure (I went to... read more

Despite not being a patient of SMPMC for nearly 7 years due to a move to Northern California, I had to contact them recently to help provide medical records for my dog for an upcoming international trip given some recent changes by the EU for an International Health Certificate. The staff was so kind and understanding over the phone, and escalated my needs to the owners right away in order to turn around the necessary paperwork quickly so that our documents for travel could be approved! I am so grateful for how they handled ... read more

I love Santa Monica Pet Medical Center so much. My cat & I saw Dr. Katherine Hillebrand very regularly for my senior cat for a year & the only reason we're leaving is because I'm moving out of Southern California. Dr. Hillebrand is kind, accessible to questions by phone & email, very knowledgeable and genuinely adores animals. She breaks complicated issues down and helps you really learn more about your pet and their health. She also caught my cat's cancerous tumor and I will forever be grateful to her.
