- ASAngela S3 days ago5.0This hospital is a gift to all fur babies. I feel so fortunate that I was referred to this hospital for my dog's emergency injury. She needed to be seen quickly by a surgeon as well as a cardiologist because of her heart murmur. The hospital was quick and careful with everything they did. Dr. Mark Parlier is an amazing doctor and incredible surgeon. He was not only thorough, but exceptionally kind to both me and my dog. We were so fortunate to have him as her doctor. Although we were dealing with a scary laceration injury and a concerning heart murmur, Dr. Parlier was positive, honest, and methodical with his planning. I truly cannot thank him enough. Not only was he an excellent surgeon and was able to fully close her paw pad wounds to reduce the potential for infections and reduce the healing time process, he was also incredibly diligent with addressing her heart condition. I felt confident with his coordination with the cardiologist and that he was putting my dog's heart condition as the priority. He also took the time to discuss the progression of her heart disease with me and to discuss options for me to continue to care for her heart condition going forward. He was truly wonderful! When he came out of surgery to give me an update, he gave me a small thumbs up as he was walking toward me. It's those little things that make all the difference. I felt like I had barely been breathing during her surgery and that thumbs up allowed me to catch my breath finally. His follow up after surgery was detailed and understandable. At no point did I feel rushed and he allowed me the time to ask all of the questions I needed. Upon discharge, I felt fully informed and didn’t feel like I didn’t get to ask something necessary. I cannot express enough how exceptional Dr. Parlier is and how well he handled our situation. He is truly extraordinary! I am confident her situation would not have resulted in the same success had we not had him and VCA West Los Angeles to care for her. I would recommend this hospital and staff to anyone I know for the best care for their animals. I feel so fortunate.
- IOIgnacio Ocegueda5 days ago1.0I was suppose to receive my dogs test results between 24-48hrs and it is now 72 hours and still haven’t heard from anyone. I was last told that his cbc was critically low which is why I retested. I need to know the results to figure out what to do next. Every time I call I get placed on hold for over half an hour with no help. Someone just says “I’ll have someone call you back” but never does.The weird thing is that every time I have brought my dog in I have never one person at the front desk on the phone with anyone for more than five minutes so I don’t understand why they just leave you on the phone for so long.
- JFJasmin Foster6 days ago5.0They treat your pets with so much care and everyone is so friendly. Our dog has been seeing their oncologist since 2023 and has been cancer-free for about 2 years. They are very thorough with treatment and making sure all bases are covered.
- KCK CastDec 30, 20251.0I have been bringing my pet her for @ 5 years, but lately its deception after deception the y keep trying to repeat the same test for my doggy, and fail to find out whats wrong with him. Meanwhile my pet health is declining . I need to find a better vet someone who care about the doggies n not just the money. Im extremely dissapoin5ed and sad . Any vet suggestion?
- JMJess MoslehDec 11, 20255.0I’ve had to make 2 trips to VCA West LA ER this past year. Both times we were attended with great care. Dr. Ngo treated my pup for a UTI, and Dr. Session treated him after he suffered a seizure in the middle of the night. Both doctors were attentive, caring, and extremely helpful. I would also like to mention the front desk help is also wonderful. Adrienne and Maria made our check-in easy and provided clear directions with the medication the doctors prescribed. This will be my go-to ER from now on. Thank you for all you do!
