Where experience matters. Family Owned and Operated. Santa Monica Pet Medical Center has been serving the Westside since 1961.

That means that we make our own decisions about what treatment plan... 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

This is the best place for your pet, hands down. They offer the best in technology and have an exceptional group of veterinarians and medical staff. Dr. Yuen was amazing, and so is Dr. Hernandez. Not only are they highly skilled and at the top of their industry, they truly care about your pets and do everything possible for your pets to feel calm and safe, as well as keep you informed throughout the process. The front desk staff and medical assistants are warm and friendly, they all give us such peace of mind and keep things... read more

I happened upon this group events when my older dog was in need of acupuncture. They came highly recommended and now I know why! Every single person in the practice is kind, caring and always seems happy to help with whatever is going on with your pets. Unfortunately I lost my pup to a stroke only 6 months after coming here and you would've thought they' had known him forever! Not only did Dr. George call me and send a card but then 2 weeks later I got a 2nd sympathy card signed from pretty much everyone in the practice! ... read more

Local place I've been taking my elderly mutt to for years. I've met most of the doctors at this office and they've all been, without reservation, absolutely top-notch. During one emergency trip, my dog was struggling to recover from a seizure and they saved his life. During another, they found a lung tumor and recommended a surgeon which saved his life again. Afterwards, I got a very kind phone call to check in. Outside the above events, most visits are the opposite of dramatic. The location is peaceful and the staff are ... read more

I'm so grateful that we found Dr Bijlani and SMPMC. Dr Bijlani is so kind and thorough, patiently walks us through our options anytime we need to make a decision, and is upfront with costs and trade offs. I trust her completely with our dog who has complicated medical issues, and also appreciate that she has empathy for us pet owners and how much we care about our pets. They also have done a fantastic job managing everything during Covid & it's much appreciated.

I am a first-time puppy mom and I ask a lot of questions, to say the least. Dr. Bijlani and the entire team at Santa Monica Pet Medical Center are phenomenal. I was referred by a good friend and she couldn't have been more right. The staff is wonderful, always responsive and willing to help. My puppy, Maggie Mae, was spayed this week and she had a great experience-- as did her mawm! :) If I could give Dr. B., Robin, Brimley, Emily and the rest of the staff 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend!

I love this vet. They are super close to my house, friendly, and supportive. One of my kitties this year started to experience seizures and they immediately were able to recommend me to a local specialist to get diagnosed and treatment plan. They handled the follow up well and always were kind and sweet to my poor baby. Now they handle my cat's refill quickly and and answer any questions I have. I'm grateful to have such a great vet so close to me.
