My girls just went to heaven in November. TLC tried valiantly to keep one of them going even though her kidneys were failing. We are talking about large dogs who were about 19 a...

Expensive and crowded, but welcoming of APBTs. They provided standard vaccinations, but prescribed an antibiotic for a hot spot without asking us first. Unfortunately, they are ...

TLC saved my dog's life with compassion and expert emergency veterinary care 11/22/2006

Three weeks ago my 110 pound dog began to suffer the symptoms of GDV (bloat), a true veterinary emergency that befalls deep chested breeds. GDV happens when the stomach contents become bouyant and the stomach essentially ""flips"", cutting off circulation and putting the dog into shock as his vital organs are put in immediate jeopardy. The only remedy is immediate surgical intervention, and the dog has very little time to live. It was midnight on a Friday night and we called TLC in a panic. The vet tech recognized the symptoms and told us to rush to TLC West Hollywood, where she and Dr. Mark Hiebert, TLC's chief of surgery and emergency medicine were waiting. Dr. Hiebert evaluated his bloated abdomen and told us that he was already in shock and in literally less than 5 minutes confirmed the torsion by xray. He IMMEDIATELY began to start iv fluids while our boy's kidney function was checked as safe for anesthesia, and he began to decompress the stomach...within MINUTES. We went back into the surgical area to say what we feared might be one last goodnight to our dog and they began surgery. \r Dr. Hiebert called us at 4am after what turned out to be a difficult, major surgery and despite what must have been an exhausting few hours, he explained the procedure in great detail AND prepared us for the potential complications that follow even successful bloat surgery - dangers posed by metabolic toxins that result from the impaired circulation the dog experiences as the stomach twists. They anticipated every conceivable complication and treated him with the latest protocols available. In the week that followed every member of the TLC staff was informed, accessible and extremely caring as we watched our dog come back to full health. EVERY Dr. on call was familiar with the case and I simply can't say enough about TLC and the expert, compassionate care that we received. This is a 1st class facility with top vets and a great staff. And our dog is home and HEALTHY!\r \r Pros: Well trained vets and a high tech facility open 24 hours more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! 9/6/2006

This is the worst animal hospital in L.A!\r \r I started using TLC because it was close and very clean. Immediately, I noticed the doctors were more concerned with selling services than in providing care. The front desk staff are rude and the doctor was just as bad. \r Recently, I noticed a lump on my cat and took him in. The doctor took tests, ran up an $800 bill and sent me home telling me the cat needed dental work. I had to call repeatedly to get the results, untimately demanding any doctor on duty read the chart. He said nothing was abnormal with the cat. (The cat had dropped 4 pounds in a month and had a egg sized tumor - apparantly nothing to be cocerned about.) \r My cat's condition progressively worsened and two days later I took him to another pet center where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. TLC could not have saved my cat, but correct information and courteous service would have helped make him comfortable.\r \r Stay away from this place if you love your pet. Cons: Rude, careless more

Terrible doctor who made us feel worse about our cat dying 9/5/2006

My boyfriend's 15 year old cat fell off a balcony and wasn't moving very much when we found him and brought him back into our apartment. We took him to TLC because it seemed the closest. They were terrible! The doctor on the overnight shift did not believe us that the cat fell off the balcony. He made it seem like we abused our cat, when in reality, why would we bring our cat to the vet at 2 in the morning if we were abusing him? Also, why would I agree to pay over $800 to get test results, if we did anything to hurt the cat? The cat died at 7 that morning at TLC, and I haven't seen any test results, and they're still trying to make us pay. The doctor made us feel worse, and he really should not be a doctor. more

dog eat dog vet services 8/9/2006

I've had the misfortune of having to use TLC animal hospital 3 times in the last 5 years, and each time seems to be worse than the time before. The staff is rude, service is slow and poor. The only thing this group is concerned with is making money on distraught pet owners willing to pay their outragous rates with the hope of healing their sick pets. They need to clean up their act and provide the compassionate care their name implies. Pros: office location Cons: office staff more

Lifesavers. 5/4/2006

We brought our cat into TLC's emergency room after she collapsed. The vets are very competent and the techs are gentle. Their facility is very clean and their prices are reasonable for the area. They have easy access to excellent specialists as well.\r \r Everyone we've dealt with has been very kind, and, while we've paid a lot of money to this clinic in a very short amount of time, we don't feel taken advantage of at all. We are finicky owners--and I'm happy to say that our two year search for a vet is finally over. Pros: Excellent care, Caring techs, Fair prices more

Fair Prices, Poor Treatment 4/17/2006

My cat was seen there back in October of 2005. At that visit the handle of my cat carrier was broken off by tech staff. I've received the run-around from them since and they still have not replaced the broken carrier. Staff there could not care less about anything accept when they get off the clock - at least that's what they vocalize. And my regular vet there has gone on the better things. I, of course, will not allow them to treat my pets any longer. Look for another clinic is me rec. more
