Veterinarians in Marina del Rey, CA

“We’ve been seeing Dr Blair since 2019. She’s wonderful with our two boys. She’s seen us through a major illness (stomatitis) with one of our cats, and referred us out to a specialist to do a full mouth dental extraction. She’s extremely knowledgeable and provides measured medical advice (ie, I’ve never felt pressured or like they’re trying to bilk me for every possible up charge). Her team is extremely competent and kind.”

“The staff at Vetco is incredibly helpful, and the vet is superb very knowledgeable and genuinely caring with the animals. I really appreciate the level of care and professionalism.

The only downside is that they’re only open on Sundays. Since it’s located right next to Costco, parking can be a real challenge. Getting in and out can be quite stressful due to the heavy traffic in the area.”

“I have an elderly rescue Maltese, Ellie Mae. Who was blessed with a sweet nature and cursed by being susceptible to every skin condition know to man or dog. My regular vet who had been great with my healthy Aussie couldn't make a dent in poor Ellies numerous abscesses, growths and general horrid skin conditions. I've spent the best two years with Ellie since I took her to this clinic. Her regular doctor, Melissa Hall (as well as the doctors we've seen if Dr Hall isn't on that day) has been so caring, innovative and persistent that Ellie loves going there. She spent 11 months in a cone before we came. Only once for a week since then. I can't recommend them stronglyvenough.”

“Well it was my first time in the office staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was only a 1 hr and 30 min validated any thing after is a visitor cost so be prepared for that. Doctor was friendly and polite informative other vets I had each a different experience very pricey though outside of that it was a pleasant clean environment”

“I cannot say enough thank you to Dr. Lim and Animal Wellness Center for the incredible care they provided for our very senior dog, Mook. He was suddenly diagnosed with severe kidney disease, and our previous vet recommended either euthanasia or trying hospitalization at an emergency hospital. However, due to his heart murmur, there was a concern that his heart wouldn’t hold up under the stress of IV fluids. We were looking for a private clinic rather than a big corporate vet, so we decided to visit Animal Wellness Center, which also offers acupuncture.

Dr. Lim suggested a unique approach of daytime-only hospitalization during office hours. While we were worried about Mook’s heart, we trusted Dr. Lim, who took the time to explain everything thoroughly.

Thanks to their incredible care, Mook has recovered well, and now, five months later, he’s still running around happily. We know our time with him may be limited, but we’re so grateful for the extra time we’ve had with him—time that we wouldn’t have had if we had gone the other route. We are truly thankful for the compassionate care we received here.”
