City of Angels Veterinary Specialty Center - Culver City, California

As long as I live in this area, I’ll never go to another vet. This morning, My dog had 4 seizures at home. I called on the way. They put me on triage board immediately. My dog somewhat recovered upon arrival and I was able to walk him in, but I know they would have come out and got him if I called. When I came inside, they recognized his slight pant that was not normal, rushed him back and found him to be in vtach. They asked if I wanted CPR, which I did not because of his age and heart condition. The vet pretty quickly came to see me in the room to get more info and talk about what I wanted to do. By then, they had at least given him lidocaine for his arrhythmia. The tech thought he might pass as his BP was so low, so they rushed me back to be with him. He ended up being okay at that point and we had some time for me to bring him in the private room and spend alone time. They gave me water, tissues, and a bell for when I was ready. I wasn’t ready but he unfortunately went into vtach again and started seizing. When I called the bell, the vet came immediately and started the sedative to relax him. I did have to put him to sleep, as we didn’t believe his condition was reversible. However, these employees showed they really cared for me and for Neville. They were upfront about costs. They asked my permission for everything. Even when I couldn’t make a decision, they went ahead and got him out of the critical condition right away so he could stop suffering…to give me some time to talk and think. The staff was just amazing. I’ve never felt so supported and cared for in a veterinary office. I can’t remember the veterinarians name right now because I was too upset, but she was just so so great. Props to these people for giving their hearts to both pets and pet parents.

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE. These people are scam artists who prey on people trying to save their pets. They charged my mom $2000 to examine her cat that was hit a car only to tell her that there’s nothing they can do. Then charged her $300 because she did not want the ashes. I could sue these scumbags. Rest in peace Sparky.

Are Cat Almost Died because of this place. They Charged us $600 Dollars and did zero help for our cat. Zero Blood Work Nothing... Even though it was needed badly. Drs don't care and are completely unqualified to be Vets. They even forgot the Pet Cone 3 times. We had to ask for it 3 times. Even Though we paid for it.

I will always be grateful for this animal hospital they saved 2 of my dogs. One of my dogs was hit by a car they took her in right away and literally brought her back to life. When I brought my second dog he is was puppy I had just bought from the previous owner I did not know he was sick the next day he passed out we rushed him to this hospital and they were able to revive him. I did not think my dogs were going to make it but the staff here were able to work miracles.

Refuses to provide Exam/SOAP notes/Reports for insurance claim, been waiting for over 6 weeks. Don't recommend, overall terrible experience from intake, treatment, and to now.

Had a good experience helpful when my cat was feeling sick for a few days and she had an accident that isn't normal for her. Was able to get her fluids and nausea medicine. Very understanding and helpful staff and doctors.

Got turned away earlier today because they were short staffed and were only taking "stat" emergencies, and internal bleeding was apparently not serious. Wound up going to Access instead, who were cheaper, faster, and better care. We were seen there in under 30 minutes, whereas I've never had a pet get seen in under 5 hours at City of Angels.

We have used City of Angels for 5 other visits over the last 5 years for our 2 cats and dogs, and they have always felt predatory, but today, having a receptionist diagnose our dog - we didn't get triaged - was the last straw.

Go anywhere else, these folks suck.

I had a great experience at City of Angels. I brought in my cat for a urinary blockage, which can be lethal if untreated. They took him in immediately. They gave me a very detailed estimate of the costs. The doctor called me to explain what was going on and how long he might have to stay in the hospital. He ended up staying 3 days, and the doctor called me twice each day with an update. They discharged him with clear instructions, and a few sample cans of the specialized urinary diet. They even ended up refunding me for some of the medicine he didn't end up needing. All in all, a very smooth experience, and glad I found them in this emergency. I'll definitely use them in the future (although hopefully no more emergencies will arise).
