After a horrendous experience at a Tujunga vet clinic, my husband and I finally sought out a new animal hospital in La Crescenta. With so many to choose from, we went with a recommendation for Rosemont...and we're so glad we did. Our first visit was for a bunch of vaccinations that were due and a general check-up for our beagle. Dr. Mitchell was very sweet and natural with our dog, easy to talk to. By the next day, our beagle was having quite a reaction to all of the vaccines at once, so they had us come back in where they checked him over thoroughly and then gave him some IV fluids to make him feel a bit better and help with recovery (on the spot, not requiring a costly overnight visit like some local clinics). Then they sent us home, our fears calmed, and without any charge for the visit or fluids... even though the reaction wasn't their fault. \r

The best part is that Dr. Mitchell is an understanding pet owner herself. She isn't patronizing and doesn't overreact. She understands when you're concerned, even if the situation only requires some fluids, a small tab of Benadryl and some rest. But she also doesn't recommend unnecessary costly treatments just because you're nervous. Despite some of the other reviews, in my experience (and my friends' experiences), they don't seem to make treatment or charge decisions based what they think you can afford...which, unfortunately, has been my experience at another local clinic.\r

If you're unhappy with the care your pet is getting at another Crescenta Valley clinic, give Rosemont a try!
Pros: excellent veterinarians, reasonable cost, cleanliness
