Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park

Dr Nunez is great he hit the nail on the head when it came to diagnosing my dogs problem. I brought my dog in, he couldn't walk, after the treatment he received , there was improvement the first night of treatment and within two days of treatment ,my dog was back to his normal self. I will not go anywhere else, the whole staff is wonderful, even my dog bear loves it there. I highly recommend Dr Nunez and staff . Everyone is great at Baldwin park animal hospital. more

Earlier this summer my boyfriend and I found a very small kitten in our backyard who was obviously suffering and in a lot of pain. When we got close enough, we saw she had been attacked by another animal and her back leg and backside were extremely torn up- she had fly sores, you could see straight to her bone... it was bad. Only having been in Orlando for a year, we called our landlord and he referred us to the vet at Lake Underhill. Two days and a bad infection later, we were calling around for another vet. Happily, we found the Animal Hopsital at Baldwin Park. Not only did we get an appointment right away, but the empathy and concern we received echoed our own feelings about our little kitten. When they saw the bad condition, they started work immediately. They did anything and everything to ensure this kitten healed properly- skin grafts, reconstructive surgery... it was impressive. They explained how to clean the wounds, gave us a few wonder drugs, and called during the week to see how she was progressing. Best of all, since we were concerned about this sudden unexpected expense, they encouraged us to call CareCredit, which is a line of credit you pay off in installments. It really helped us out during that time. Our kitten Josie is now a happy terror, running circles around our house, jumping and climbing like nothing had ever happened. Honestly, you can't even see stitches. I cannot stress enough how badly she was ripped apart and how gently and wonderfully Dr. Nunez and his staff took care of her. Thank you for all that you did!!! more

I had been personally referred to Dr. Nunez' clinic by a mutual friend. I needed to board a cat for 5 nights so I could go on vacation. I stopped by personally, chatted with the desk to ask about their facilities, filled out the paperwork, and faxed the vaccination history, so I was all set weeks in advance of my trip. I was also quoted a price of $10.50 per night for the boarding at the time I reserved the spot. THE DAY BEFORE MY TRIP, I received a cheerful phone message from the facility stating that they were raising their rates, and my cat's stay was now going to be $13.50 per night. I called and talked to the desk, who talked to the mgr, who talked to the vets and who got back to me later. They totally understood that this was bad business, raising rates without notice, on the eve of my trip, with my budget set. I also explained that I was bringing all my own food and litter for special needs purposes. And that this boarding was a safety issue as I have 2 cats, and was boarding one to separate the young cat from the 14 year old so they did not stress each other out being alone together. So they called me back and stated that the new escalated prices would stand. Greedy small minded people. So they did not make the $67.50 or the old price of $52.50. And they lost any future revenue from me, including using them as vets for a lifetime for the cat boarding as he is a young rescue and does not yet have a vet. THOUSANDS of dollars this stupid decision cost them. So I rearranged my budget and put him up for 5 nights at a $20 per night luxury cat facility where he was not crated all day and was loved and carried around like a baby. Best for him, great for me, and the pox on the weasels at AHBP. more

My pets have been going here since about 1995. The staff is fantastic, and the three veterinarians are exceptional! The office is like a second home for all my pets and we trust them and their recommendations implicitly! Pros: Great staff and vets more

Several months ago, we brought our dog, Bentley, into the Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park,on an emergency basis. Let me mention that we were not a patient there but barged in anyway. Bentley had Ivermectin posioning, due to another Vet's error. He was convulsing, blind and had no motor skills. We knew we were going to lose him or at the very least he would end up blind or have brain damage. The staff started working on him immediately as well as stayed on the phone with posion control and AVS ( Emerg. Specialists). After several hours, he was stable enough to move to the Emerg. Hospital. The Hospital stated, due to the immediate care from Baldwin Park Animal Hospital as well as Bentley's Age, he had a good chance of pulling through, however we were not sure if he would have any lasting damage. After several weeks of initial and follow-up care we are happy to say that Bentley not only pulled through, he is completely healthly and happy. I have no doubt that without the initial treatment at the Animal Hospital in Baldwin Park that Bentley probably would not have made it. Bentley receives the same care and compassion when he goes in on his regular visits now as he did when he was there on an emergency basis. We could not be happier and would highly recommend the doctors and staff. Bentley LOVES going into the office and has a huge crush on all the girls there! Pros: Professional, Caring and Compassinate Cons: None so far more

We have been taking our cats to Dr. Nunez for more than 5 years. A year a half ago, we brought a homeless kitten home and unfortunately, he was evidently a carrier of Feline Panleukopenia and every one of our 10 cats got the disease. Dr. Nunez and his caring staff saved our cats lives, as this disease is often deadly. We owe a great debt of gratitude to this caring and quite gifted Veterinarian and will never take our pets anywhere else. We live 45 minutes away and drive there for the most routine things for our kitties. Also, this little kitten we brought home had a severe eye infection in one eye. Dr. Nunez' care kept the infection to only the one eye. Sadly, it was too late to save his one eye, but Baron the Pirate kitty still sees great with his other eye! This crazy one-eyed kitty still dashes around the house making us laugh continually! We are very grateful to this wonderful Doctor and caring, compassionate staff! Thank you! Pros: Always offers us a choice, the best of Eastern or Western Cons: Sometimes, the wait time more

Dr. Nunez and staff have always listened to my special needs for my pets. I have three dogs, and it can sometimes be hard to keep up with what they need. The staff always lets me know what my pets are due for and allows me to make up my own mind. I like to combine Eastern and Western medicine and they always tailor my pets' plans just for us! I also board my pets here and wouldn't dream of taking them anywhere else for extended stays! Pros: willingness to listen to my needs for my pets more

Back in May of 2006 my husband and I found a cat laying almost lifeless on the side of the road. We decided to take this cat in for treatment and were advised by the local veterinarian, that he would never be able to use the litter box like a normal cat. It seems that as a result of his injuries, he was paralyzed in that region. However, he functioned normally in every other way. The dr. advised euthanising. My husband and I called Dr. Nunez whose office is 2 and half hours away from us for advise. He said ""bring him to me and I will do a stem cell implant, in the hopes of regenerating cells in the region of his paralysis."" so we did, he amputated the tail which was lifeless and did the transplant. Although he knew the chances were slim, he opted on the side of hope......my kind of guy! Unfortunately, the transplant was not successful. However, he advised us on how to care for this animal rather than opt to end his life. We ended up keeping ""Cato"" for several years, he lived as close to a normal and happy life as possible. Through out Cato's time with us, we found it challenging to board him w/ local vets. because he needed to have his bladder expressed several times daily to keep from getting infected or worse eruption. Most vets found this to be more work than it was worth. Dr. Nunez however, always accepted Cato with open arms and boarded him every time we needed it. \r \r \r \r I guess its a testament within itself to say we were willing to drive 2 1/2 hours to see him and use his facilities (which by the way are state of the art, clean and welcoming), he is CLEARLY worth the drive. I've never met a more focused, professional yet loving, caring and kinder soul. He is an earth loving and free spirit a man with a mission and a clear love for life, music and his profession. Hats off to Dr. Nunez!\r \r Pros: really cares & fair prices more

I have been to many vets with many different animals. Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park is now my vet for these 3 reasons. First they actually know how to clean! I got a tour of the kennel when I went in for my cat's appointment (she was having problems with her ears) and it was clean and smelled great. All of the animals there looked like they were comfortable and the dogs were wagging their tails and coming up to the cage door to say hello when I walked by. Second, they gave me an estimate up front for her ears and explained their recommendations in laymens terms. The doctor did a very gentle, thorough exam (he could tell how scared she was) then answered all my questions and asked me if he addressed all of my concerns before leaving the exam room. The tech was very friendly and knowledgeable of the doctor's orders. Finally, and most important to me, this is the only vet where my cat didn't have a panic attack when we walked in the front door for her follow up visit. Her behavior around the vet and staff speaks volumes about their compassion and they way they treat their patients. If you want a clean animal hospital you can trust, with AWESOME doctors and staff, try this one!! Pros: great vet and staff, great communication more

I have very mixed feelings about this place. My Persian cat was diagnosed with acute renal failure. He went in on Friday to the Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park and I was told that only 10% of his kidneys were working. I was told that if I sent him to the Emergency Vet clinic over the weekend and if he made it through the weekend then he had a good chance of living. The Emergency Vet clinic told me that according to his tests he did not have a chance of living and that I should euthanize him. That was the last thing I wanted to do and was willing to do whatever I could do to save his life. I discussed this with the doctor at the Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park and he suggested a transfusion and other treatments. I mentioned that I had done hours of research on the internet and according to my research it said that cats with end stage renal failure have no chance of living. He said you can't always go by the book and there was hope. He said that my cat could possibly make it and he would be a happy cat with daily treatment. I really got my hopes up but received a call the next day that my cat had passed away. I'm very upset because my total cost of vet bills totals over $3500. I think he should of been honest with me and upfront and told me that my cat wasn't going to make it. Maybe he believed that he could save his life. I'll never know I guess. All I know is that my cat is gone and I'm stuck with outrageous bills. Hollistic and alternative doesn't always save a pets life and can cost you an arm and a leg. I suggest doing a lot of research before spending thousands to this vet clinic. Pros: nice area in Baldwin Park Cons: very expensive more

We recently lost our cat to congestive heart failure. The condition was found by another vet at a different clinic on the FIRST visit after my husband and I took our cat to Animal Hosptial - Baldwin Park 3 times. There was no concern at AHBP for the fact that the cat was losing weight at an alarming rate and was having respiratory issues. After a battery of tests that were very expensive, we were told that our cat had ""Slight Panceratitis"" and we should by special diet food from the clinic...mind you, the whole reason the visits started was she would not eat. By the time she was diagnosed properly it was too late. I would not recommend this clinic to others. Pros: Location Cons: Vet lack of caring, price, inability to diagnois more
