Veterinarians in Simi Valley, CA

“It was awesome that they were open on Sunday, there was no wait, they remedied the problem quickly, they were friendly and not pushing add-on services/products, and the final bill seemed reasonable.”

“The vet staff are very kind and knowledgeable! Our kitties were well taken care of and vet staff were very reassuring to pets and pet owners. They also accept LA City spay/neuter vouchers which covered the entire operation costs to get both my kitties spayed! 100/10!❤”

“My fur baby needed to be seen quickly, all of my local vets offices were booking two weeks to two months out, leaving me with the choice of waiting ( not a comfortable option) or paying exorbitant cost for emergency services (that I felt unnecessary.)

In the mist of my search for a vet, I received an email from Dr. Ron’s , I was familiar with their service through the vaccination clinics they have at The Wharf in Ventura. While on hold with another vets office, I read the email, and realized that they had a clinic, so after another disappointing call to a local vet, I phoned Dr. Ron’s. I was amazed that they could see me the next day and at a far more reasonable price point, additionally the young lady I spoke with was super sweet and helpful (it is really nice to speak with a human.)

Besides being one of the most well run medical offices I've been to (no double booking), It was by far the CLEANEST medical facility I have ever been in, animal or human! The wash room was spotless!

They are quite a drive (approximately one hour), it was well worth the peace of mind. Everyone was wonderful!”

“I have been taking my dogs to Dr Barnes for a years now after he was recommended by a friend. He is a great Dr and I hope he will continue to help our dogs for years to come.”

“This place is the best! Only one vet so she gets to know your pet, not a new vet each visit. My 19 year-old cat with kidney failure is thriving under Dr. Medrazo’s care . The office staff is pretty phenomenal also.”

“I’ve gone to so many that’s before him. Dermatologist that were to help my old English bulldog with his skin condition and he’s the only one who figured it out. My dog is now 10 years old and healthy skin healthy life thank you Dr Novy”

“My first time experience exceeded my expectations, including waiting area, the welcoming staff, and the assistance provided by the physician.
Dr. Hart addressed the symptoms without recommending unnecessary additional tests.
☆
I was able to obtain a senior discount, which was not offered by my previous veterinary service. This is a significant advantage!

Also they took and gave me a picture of my pup for valentines ?.”

“We have taken our dog for her shots to this clinic for the past 3 years. Easy to make appointments online, great communication and reminders of appointments and close to home. Doctor is great too and wonderful with our dog. In and out quickly”

“I want to counteract the one star review left in the Fall of 2023. Dr. Spitzer was just at my house this afternoon to put down our senior dog via Lap of Love. She was wonderful. I met her outside at her car, and we talked a little bit about the decision before she came in and I was able to tell her some details about Rocket. We talked more with her as a family when she came inside. At no point did we feel rushed or that she wasn’t completely gentle with him. She explained everything she was going to do before doing it and then again before she did each step. She was talking to him throughout and she also paid attention to our other dog who was curious/stressed and growling at her. (He stopped growling the minute Rocket passed). I felt the service was excellent and exactly what I had envisioned. At no point did Rocket appear stressed or worried about what was happening.”

“We wanted a second opinion for our Havanese with chronic bloody stools and vomiting . We were told by his previous vet he has colitis. The little guy has struggled with this on and off for over three years but just recently, it was getting more frequent and extremely scary!! After forking our almost $900.00 for an office visit, medications, and being told it could be Colitis and IBS - pancreatitis was ruled out by a blood test - the bloody stools still continued. I found recommendations for Dr. Novy on the Nextdoor App. As with any change, we were skeptical!! However, we found Dr. Novy to be caring, empathetic and knowledgeable! We stopped all the previous medications, Sucralfate, Pepcid and metronidazole to following Dr. Novy's prescriptions and suggestions. Our little guy is doing so much better!! It's been almost a month without any bloody stools! We went from losing hope to enjoying our little guy's bouncing back to his old self each day. Most importantly, Dr. Novy kept tabs on our little guy's progress everyday!! Yes, everyday he wanted us to call in to check in and didn't hesitate at all to answer all of my d*** questions without judgment!! One evening, about 7 PM, I received a call which showed Valley Vet. I just assumed an employee was calling to check up on our little guy. I was shocked it was Dr. Novy himself!!! Thank you Dr. Novy!! Additionally, a quick shout out to the staff!! Thanks for always handling my panicked calls - yes calls - several a day - with so much professionalism and patience!! To top it off, we received a - Thank you - Card for having selected them to be our Vet!! Very classy!”

“Honestly, I don't understand some of the negative reviews here. It's interesting that the people who claim to have been treated "rudely" in this clinic sound not only coarse, bad-mannered, but they write with more contempt than most reviews I've read anywhere. It must be ignorance. The ignorant few who have no idea how hard veterinarians and their assistants work - especially in this clinic.”

“Great but sad experience. We lost our family pet at no fault to them. They made the experience as pleasant as possible and helped with the process. They were great and even sent a card to us signed by the staff. We had our pet cremated through them also.”

“Dr Stirewall is a terrific dr for your fur babies.She has ALWAYS shown concern, consideration and competency for my dogs. Never let's me down and I own breeds that have a lot of issues.Definitely a great vet with an awesome office staff.I've notice three other reviewers complain about Dr. Stirewald being racist....That is a bold face lie. I don't know what agenda these three individuals have, but it is not even close to being the truth.”

“Our cat was sick and we found out our Veterinarian had moved from another facility to Valley Veterinary Clinic (30 miles away) We trust Dr. Megan Thomas and would follow her anywhere to care for our cats. She is thorough, detailed and it was such a relief to find her again. What a pleasant experience at Valley Veterinary Clinic. From the first call to the visit, everyone was so helpful and kind. Dina and Mindy are top notch as well as both Vet Techs (sorry I didn't get your names) you all did such a great job. I also liked the separate waiting areas for Dogs and Cats. The facility is older and I LOVED the warm atmosphere; don't change a thing. You could tell so many fur families have been cared for here. Everything was spotless and organized. What a great place to find to care for our cats. Thank you for taking such good care of Walter. He is already feeling much better.”

“I am a dog rescuer and also have my own dogs. I have used Dr. Sherif over many years and have been VERY happy. I feel he is smart and cares...and the pricing has been fair enough. So for those visits, I'd give him 5 stars. I also want to share one not so good story where I would give no stars. Our dog was limping on her back legs so we took her to Dr. Sherif. Dr. Sherif doesn't do knee surgery but they liaison with an orthopedic surgeon who looked at the x-rays and told us our dog absolutely needed surgery on both knees for a cost of $10,000. We decided to get a second opinion, which was the same. We decided, before moving forward, to visit a Dr. Raviv Balfour at VCA Animal Specialty in West LA. Dr. Balfour said yes, our dog does have 2 torn ACL's but the surgery may not be necessary. He suggested we try Medicam, an anti-inflammatory, for a month or so and see how she responds. Within a few weeks, our dog completely stopped limping and has not limped since, and that was about 2 years ago. Getting a third opinion saved us $10k and saved our dog an enormous amount of pain and suffering. Bottom line, if you are told your dog needs a big surgery, and you aren't sure, get more opinions!!!”

“This place is clean and organized. The employees are polite and competent and to top it all off their very easy to do business with. My dog gets his nails trimmed there and they always do a good job and it takes almost no time.”
