I LOVE this clinic!!! Dr. Yelinek is the best!!! I take my Cavalier King Charles dogs to him for chiropractic adjustments and laser treatments. He is also very knowledgeable about Chinese herbs and will recommend them if your pet requires them and the owner is accepting of their use. That being said he, of course uses Western medicine as well. I foster dogs and many of them come into rescue having unknown issues. I take them to Dr. Yelinek to get a once over and I find the chiropractic adjustments make a huge difference. Several dogs have had issues with their spines and hind ends. I notice that they walk funny and/or do not carry their tails upright (a must for all Cavvys) after several treatments, all my dogs have shown vast improvement! The chiro treatments also improve their attitudes because when the dogs are no longer in discomfort, they are happy! Duh! Dr. Yelinek also takes time to get to know the dog, approaching them very slowly. One of my fosters was a biter, Dr. Y didnt shy away from him but took time to let the pup trust him. Now the dog goes absolutely nuts with happiness when we visit. Of course, Charlie is also totally in LOVE with Melodie the receptionist (and she, with him!!). Speaking of Melodie, she is a wonderful, wonderful receptionist! She always remembers to call me for follow ups and gives us a call just to see how we are! How is that for a caring vet clinic???!!! They always get me in as soon as possible and I really appreciate when I call last minute and they are able to accommodate us! I highly, highly recommend this clinic!

Redondo Shores is the gold standard in Veterinary Care! Staff is friendly, welcoming and professional. Both doctors and the vet assistant are patient, thorough and very personable. My dog loves being here from the moment we walk in the door. The approach of the doctors is more holistic (alternatives to surgery and meds, when possible) than other practices we have used. We can walk here, but its nice to know that house calls can be made. My dog had a badly infected cyst and Dr. Yelineks approach was to try antibiotics and warm compresses, instead of surgery, as an immediate action. They called frequently to follow up on my dogs progress to make sure he was improving. My pooch also had a teeth cleaning and surgery to remove a fatty tumor. Great results and the pricing seemed to be comparable to other practices we have used.

Dr. Dirk has been my Vet for 30 years. First up at Golden Shore, then House Calls for Animals, and then Redondo Shores. I was pregnant my first visit with him 30 years ago now my children use him as their Vet along with my mom, sister, friends, and peers. He is one of a kind, hands on, personable, and listens to his patients and their humans with a caring, compassionate bedside manner. He is an excellent diagnostician of animals and has saved, prolonged, and cured my pets through the years. He has delicately guided me into making difficult decisions when my pets needed it, then gently aided in their end of life care with comfort being the first priority for my pet and for me. Thank you for your years of service for my faithful companions!

We have been taking our cats to Redondo Shores since we first adopted them 7 years ago. They are extremely shy cats as they had been rescued and all of the doctors and staff who have seen them through the years have been extremely gentle and caring. Max has had Melanoma and Sam has had various skin issues which have required surgery. Dr. Dirk has been a constant source of comfort for us and has an excellent bedside manner. We get Maxs nails trimmed at their facility and I am always amazed at how calm he is with them when he would scratch and escape every time we have tried. We love everything about their facility and have never had a less than satisfying experience with our cats.

Dr. Yelinek has been our vet for many years and has taken care of several of our four legged family members! He has been there with us when we brought our puppy in for her first shots and helped us when our very sick and old girl took her last breath at our home. In every single instance, Dr. Yelinek and his staff have shown us utmost professionalism, kindness, compassion and always with a great deal of attention to caring for our our family. I have to say, Dr. Yelinek is one of the best, most thorough medical professionals and THE best vet for our family. We are grateful for him and his awesome staff!!!

When we adopted our new kitten we took him to Redondo Shores for a checkup and shot updates. After seeing him for 30 seconds, Dr. Yelnek says "Hes quite a climber isnt he". YES - hes into everything!! But how did Dr. Yelnek know that after seeing our kitten sit on the exam table for about 30 seconds??? Weve been to our share of vets. Dr. Yelnek stands out above the crowd. Hes extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain -in plain english- what is going on, and what the next steps will be. The office staff is super friendly and nice. You can tell that they all really love animals.

I love Dr. Yelinik and his staff. But more importantly my dog loves going there. She jumps out of the car and literally runs to get inside. Dr. Yelinik is patient and caring and takes the time to just be with her before doing any kind of exam. I never feel rushed and always feel listened to. He clearly cares and his love for animals is the real deal! His staff is just as wonderful, always friendly and courteous and just a nice group of people. If youre looking for a great vet you need not look any further!

The Redondo Shores facilities are state of the art and his staff is warm and friendly and always make you feel at home. Dr. Dirk is also very active in the local community which we think is a plus. Weve always highly recommend this as the place to go with your pet.

If youre feeling unsure with your current vet or relocated to the area like myself...Youll be extremely HAPPY with these guys. Patient/Client for 2 years Malibu - BuBu kitty Liz Hathaway

Best vet Ive ever had. After one visit, Im already a client for life. Doctors and nurses were kind, gentle, informed, and understanding. Took the time to answer all the questions we had and even took my kids on a tour of the entire facility. A wonderful practice with great people. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves their pets and those who care for them.

This was my first time here and Dr Cheng took great care of my bichon frise on Saturday as he was suffering from a spreading skin infection due to allergies. All of the staff are very kind and professional. Because they did a great job and made me and my "buddy" feel comfortable, I plan on making them my go-to vet office. I highly recommend them.
