Habra Linda Animal Hospital

I can not say enough about our experience with Dr. Garica. He saved our dog! After going to another vet, for 12 years, that sold us the wrong syringes for insulin for our dog, and caused us to slowly poisen our pet. Dr Garcia was able to determine right away what the problem was and helped us in correcting our dogs blood sugar. He was very compassionate and caring! He really cared about getting to the bottom of it. I know that it costs and being on disability really doesn't help, but show me a vet that doesn't cost. Samson is alive because Dr. Garcia took the time to talk to us and listen, you dont find that anywhere anymore. more

Dr. Geller is fantastic, he is very knowledgable, patient and clearly loves animals. He kissed my cat on the head when I took her there, which I have never seen a vet do before. So sweet. He will always answer all my questions without making me feel like I am wasting his time. \r I did have a not-so great experience with the female vet there, I had to have my dog put down and she was pretty cold. She walked in, quickly gave my dog the shot, and didn't say much. It's a very traumatic experience to be there with your dog as she is dying, and a little warmth would have been nice. I was not impressed with her at all. I would be sure to ask for Dr. Gellar. more

I have used this vet off and on for a few years. I have another vet (holistic) who allows me to incorporate my holistic approaches with traditional medicines to better treat my animals so both vets are necessary. After reading reviews on both of my vets I felt compelled to respond. Any vet office can have a bad day, any one of them can make mistakes, as we are human. I have had some Dr's/vets totally frown at me for using preventive measures, holistic medicine and alternative approaches even when they've proven successful. These Dr's do their best to accommodate me, because I don't believe that everything should be treated with medication that has side effects. Habra Linda did the last dental cleaning on my cat and they did a great job. He was 17 years old when they did the work, so they were very careful with him or he wouldn't be alive today, as you know he had to be put under for the cleaning, That is very tedious. Also, when I called to ask their opinion and advice on tackling a more

Great place. i have been going there for years and years. I have taken all my animals there: cats and dogs. The staff is always awesome as well as the doctors, i have never seen my dogs actually hay to go to the vet. I will be a client for years to come. more

I've gone to Habra Linda for 5+ years now - people are great, and my pup can't wait to go inside. I've only taken her to one other place, once because of an emergency. Really wouldn't think of taken her any where else. People were friendly and informative. more

I have been bringing my animals, doggies Kiki and Tatja to Habra Linda for over ten years! Dr. Gellar and Dr. Garcia are caring and great. They take their time to explain the situations. Their staff has always fit me in and have always went out of their way for us!!! They are the best and I know of many other La Habran's who take their precious animals to their office! Thank you Habra Linda! We love you!!! I highly highly recommend them! Pros: Very nice staff! more

Once I took my 2 dogs in for teeth cleaning and after examining both animals the doctor told me that they didn't need it. I saved about $500. Also, when the time comes to decide about euthanasia, they will be honest and not try to talk you into costly procedures that are in vain. When I recently had to bring my beloved pet dog in for his final visit,i.e. put to sleep, it was done with dignity and love. I imagine a lot of these complainers are the same kind of people that call in on employees everywhere they go and try to get them in trouble. Now a days nothing is cheap. If they couldn't make a profit, they wouldn't be there. A pet is a lot like having a boat. Be prepared to have write a lot of checks! Yes the parking lot is small. I just park around the corner and the dogs get a walk! more

I have known this practice for over 20 years. I would trust them with any and all of my pets. All doctors are different and there are three to choose from. If you don't like one of them try another. I happen to know that they use state of the art medicine and monitoring devices as I was able to watch the procedure being done on my dog. It was like a real hospital. As far as prices go, I know they are comprable and usually cheaper than any VCA or Banfield hospital. Everyone has an off day, so give them a break! They work in a very stressful environment. more

I have been taking my pets to Dr. Geller for 20 years now. We've taken cats, hamsters, and our rabbit. Dr. Geller and the staff at Habra-Linda have always given excellent care and concern for all my pets. Very friendly and helpful. Prices are higher than the Humane Society in Garden Grove, but comparable to any other verterinary hosptial in the area. I highly recommend Habra-Linda and Drs. Geller and Garcia. Had Dr. MacLean once and did not have a favorable experience with her, so if you go there, don't get her. Dr. Geller has been our main vet for all the years we've gone there, and he is wonderful. more

i would STRONGLY recommend habra linda animal hospital to ANYONE who cares about their pets. from the minute you walk in the door to the minute you walk out its a VERY enjoyable experience. the girls up front are ver friendly and nice. they make you feel right at home. the drs are straight forward and try to help you and your pet out in any way they can. even the workers in the back that you dont see all the time are great. you can tell they really care about their clients. again...i would strongly recommend harba linda to anyone in the area!! more

We've taken our pets to Habra-Linda for many years - cats and dogs. They have a very caring staff and the doctors are wonderful. They spend as much time with you and your pet as you need. Questions are answered and love is dispensed. While their parking lot is small and difficult to get in and out of (try parking around the corner and walking), the office staff is always glad to see you and your pets. They have a discount shot clinic on Saturday afternoons which can get busy and crowded, but if you put in the time, you save the money. We had an ailing labrador several years ago and they were wonderful with both him and us. I wouldn't take my animals anyplace else. more

This is a good place to take your animals if they're in need of emergency care or simple routine shots. They have a reduced price shot clinic every Saturday-- it's packed, so get there early with your pet. The vets can be a bit impatient and rude at times, but they care about the animals and will treat them well. There was one person in particular I had a great experience with, her name I believe was Larae, and she worked behind the front desk. She was kind, empathetic and very helpful to all of the patients I saw come into the hospital. The prices for services are pretty standard, and if you have a good rapport with the hospital they will try to work something out with you as far as payments go. more
