Very bad! Im really disappointed. The nurses are big liers. On Friday 05-12-17 I had took my kitten Vet hospital care and they told me my kitten was going to be ok. They really did not charge me alot. The next day one of my friend came to my house and advise me to take her here at VCA Advanced Veterinary Care for my kitten to get cure fast. I took my kitten the next day after and they ask me for my permission on what I wanted them to do. They ask me if I wanted them to do an Emergency exam Radio graphs, X- rays to see what was wrong with my kitten, and Cpr to have my kitten alive. I said yes because I really wanted my kitten to be ok. While they was treating my kitten they had me sitting on a room and a nurse came in to tell me what was wrong with my kitten. Next minute another nurse came in to tell me they discover another disease inside my kitten. Every minute they would tell me they had discovered alot of bad things my kitten had. They told me if I wanted them to keep doing different treatment but they was going to charge me more. I was confused and they was rushing me to make a decision. They ask me if I wanted them to stop treating my kitten or keep going to help cure my kitten. They kept telling me that they had discovered different disease. I know my kitten was sick but I know the doctors lie and say stuff for me to pay more. So I told them to stop and that I was going to take my kitten home and they told me that if I take my kitten home she was going to die. They told me that if I agree if I wanted them to continue they was going to try keep her alive but they was going to charge me more. The First time I went to another vet hospital they told me a different story they told me that my kitten was sick and she was going to be ok and they gave me medication. I am very sad because I had made a decision to put my kitten asleep because I didnt wanted her to go through pain

Sweet , Very caring office staff from the time you walk in the door, throughout the entire experience. I brought in my cat Cameo, who stopped eating and drinking became severely dehydrated, very near death. The Pet Techs were very kind & gentle handling my cat..Dr. Ogle is the best created a treatment plan: IV therapy, vital signs lab work close monitoring and observation,medications antibiotics appetite stimulant all saved Cameo! Thank you Dr. Ogle, thank you Pet Techs, thank you Janelle & Lelani, thank you everybody else that helped me face this crisis of treating Cameo versus putting her to sleep. Keep up the outstanding work and supportive care that you provide pet owners. I recommend the Lawndale CA hospital highly for any pad emergencies. Its a little pricey but emergency care isnt cheap for humans either

My terrier mix Charlie was involved in a terrible accident while traveling on Christmas day last year. I was told by multiple vets that Charlie would have to have at least one of his back legs amputated. I had scheduled an appointment with a surgeon at a different location, but when Charlies bandages and casts came off the night before that appointment we were rushed into VCA. It was there that Charlie and I met Dr. DCG and the wonderful staff at VCA. I cant say enough wonderful things. Charlie was treated like a celebrity there. Each vet I came in contact with truly showed compassion to my little guy. The front desk staff were caring, accommodating and very friendly. Two surgeries later, Charlie is running and jumping like he was prior to his accident all due to the wonderful people at VCA on Hawthorne!

I simply cant say enough good things about this practice. As a veterinarian, there are certain things I cant do. That is when I turn to AVCC for help. I have referred complicated cases to their phenomenal doctors. But I think what speaks most for them is that the moment something difficult goes wrong with my animals, I jump in the car and take them to Advanced. My newest cat Tidus saw Dr Waterman a few weeks ago in congestive heart failure. Through his prognosis remains grim, under her excellent care he feels fantastic and behaves like a kitten. Dr Waterman was incredibly warm and sensitive with our little man-cat. I hope she is his cardiologist for a long time!! So, so very blessed to have Advanced as a partner in my animals care.

My beloved Marco (jack russell terrier) was treated for Cancer here. The staff here are wonderful! They are very friendly and compassionate people. They made this very difficult time easier. Marco has now passed, but I will always be thankful to the wonderful care he and I received here! I highly recommend this Veterinary Hospital to anyone that wants to offer their beloved pet the best possible care! Keep up the great work! Many thanks to Dr. Elliott, Dr. Tansey, Melissa and all the wonderful caring people that work here. You guys rock!! You truly are all a class act!

At 6 AM after a long night, I brought my dog in with vomiting and diarrhea symptoms. Ben was on duty along with SDr. Hall and they were both very caring, explained things carefully to me and were so careful with both my dog and me. High marks!
