Started bringing my 7 year old lab here after the local VCA never had any appointments available. The front desk is friendly and specifically, Dr. O'Donnell has been just wonderful. My dog has a history of cancer and had a recent scare and she has called to follow up and check on him more than any other general vet we've had. She answers all my questions and addresses my concerns and seems very knowledgeable. Often times she calls after 6 pm which shows me that she really cares and wants what is best for my fur baby. Very gr... read more

I could not be more pleased with my experience today. I noticed a hematoma on my dog's ear on a Sunday night. My regular vet said the first available appointment was in 12 days, so I called around to find somewhere to see her sooner. SMPMC had an appointment available on Monday. The staff was pleasant, the vet was knowledgeable and kind, and they treated my dog in the exam room with me so she would be more comfortable and not be around other dogs, as she's fearful. The staff also let me check out from the exam room so that m... read more

We recently had a wonderful experience at Pet Medical with Dr. Williams, who is new to the center and has an impressive background. My cat was presenting with vomiting and diarrhea. Tests were performed (Pet Medical always gives me a printout of the estimate before they proceed). It was pancreatitis. Follow-up appointment has been made. We've been coming here for 10 years and have never been treated rudely by staff, or overcharged, or made to wait weeks for an appointment, as some reviewers claim. My only complaint is how ... read more

Love Dr. Hernandez. Only vet that sees my 4 leggers through all the years. Long time client. Staff always takes care of me. Last couple of years has been a learning curve, but always been able to get in when needed.

When our beloved veterinarian Dr. Graham retired she highly recommended Santa Monica Pet Medical Center for our future veterinary needs. I clearly remember Dr. Graham's mentioning about this veterinary center's principle of never putting their profit over the pet's welfare -though at that time I did not realized how important that factor was. We became Dr. A. George's patient at SMPMC and my dog was kept in excellent health for over 11 years. Dr. George is highly knowledgeable in Western and Eastern veterinary practices ... read more

We're so grateful for Dr. Hillebrand & the super kind staff at Santa Monica Pet Medical Center. Our sweet Alfie had extreme teeth chattering & the doctor agreed to see Alfie in between other patients at 4:30 pm on a Saturday night (they close at 6:00). Dr. Hillebrand was friendly, a good communicator, caring, and sent Alfie home with pain meds until his upcoming teeth cleaning. Thank you to everyone there! We have taken Alfie for care for the past 8 years intermittently, and have always had great experiences.

I am so happy I found Santa Monica Pet Medical and Dr Hernandez several years ago. The staff and doctors are knowledgeable and kind. They really care. Dr Hernandez always spends the time explaining everything to me and doing the extra tests so we have all the information. The communication is excellent and I haven't had trouble getting an appointment. They don't over charge or upsell and are very clear with estimates up front. I recently lost one of my dogs and the compassion and kindness I received from the staff and vet w... read more

This vet has changed my whole outlook on vets in LA. after having a shocking experience for many months at two other vets, this one was recommended to me and has not disappointed. From the reception (either on the phone or at the surgery), to email responsiveness, and then finally to the care, service, professionalism and friendliness of the team Santa Monica Pet Medical has been outstanding. Dr Bijlani looks after my dog and she is so thorough and so human! This is the only vet I've seen who have been able to effectively n... read more

Aww, I love Santa Monica Pet Medical Center but most importantly, so does my cat! My first cat loved them as well. The quality of care and connection between humans and pets is in all of the staff members! I refuse to go anywhere else after 7 years! Appointments are easy to get, wait times are short, and I truly feel the prices are more than fair. The doctors are helpful in coming up with a step-by-step plan. They've never under done it nor over done it. Balance! ** I felt safe and supported when I was alone and had to p... read more
