Comment: I had to take my pet to another vet on Monday due to availability. She was having slow recovery and I followed up with a phone call to Dr. Simon on Wednesday with a quick response to discuss her situation. He promptly got her in for another blood test, which ruled out a major issue.

Comment: We have been brining our dog to Marina Hills Animal Hospital for three years and we’ve always received the best care. A family member recommended them to us because they also have a good experience with them over the years.What stands out to me the most about Marina Hills is that the staff actually care about your pet. They care for them as they would for their own pet and that means so much to me. I’ve been to several vets in the past where it seemed like they didn’t care about animals but more about business.

Comment: We were new parents of a 3 month old rescue and unfortunately This kid had experienced an altercation with our sego palm tree and it penetrated his eyeball, this place was in close proximity and under duress we landed here, the ENTIRE staff was not only comforting but executed in such a comfort fashion that we felt not only relieved however we immediately felt he was in the right place, now it’s Four months after the event Gibson continues to go for his baths and nail maintenance and actually loves his brief visitsand the staff continues to treat him like a king,We LOVE this place and share our experience with every dog parent we engage with.

Comment: I love all the doctors and staff at Marina Hills Animal Hospital. They always help me get an appointment when its urgent, and they really spend time with my dogs when there is a concern. Their fees are reasonable and they follow up to check on my pets after a visit. Everything is explained very well, and they always answer my questions when I need assistance. Thank you, MHAH! You take excellent care of my fur babies!

Comment: Over the years my pets have gone to Marina Hills Animal Hospital. I feel comfortable there and feel the doctors and staff understand that our pets are children to so many of us. My cat is now a 16 year old senior and has a few serious medical problems that together we are monitoring and treating. My sweet cat becomes so stressed having to go in her carrier to the doctor. Knowing this I asked Dr. Simon if someone could visit my house and administer an injection my cat needed. I was so pleased to have a wonderful vet technician come after her workday to help us. Both Samantha and my stress level went way down. This means so much to me!

This was not a pleasant experience as we put our loved one down, however I appreciated going through it with the members of this veterinary team. Should the dreaded need present itself again, I will consult with this animal hospital.

Comment: Our furry family members have been patients of MHAH since 2008. The entire team has always been kind compassionate, caring and informative. They took care of many of the puppies-in-training for the Guide Dog school for a very discounted rate, and gave them the same amazing care. They now help us care for some of those foster dogs we adopted and are getting us through the geriatric years one day at a time. I realize care is expensive but have never regretted the testing they recommend. We are never forced to make decisions, and feel the tests have given the team information to help us make informed decisions. Dr. Simon, Dr. Desowitz, Dr. Stevens, Tracy, Ana K Terri and all the staff are wonderful. They also give the best baths around!

Comment: Staff was great but doctor came across as egocentric & kept mansplaining really basic things to me that I was already educated on. It wasted alot of time. He also was not “collaborative” in nature and unknowingly talked down to me. I don’t think hes a bad person I think hes just “unaware” of how he comes across. If I was passive & uneducated I probably wouldn’t have noticed his communication deficiencies.

Comment: My dog was 14 years old and was suffering from partial paralysis of his hind legs. His situation was incurable and we knew it would certainly lead to his passing very soon. He could only drag his rear paws which were always somewhat bloody. Sadly we knew his time was coming to an end very soon as he simply could not go on like it was. He had no quality of life. My wife took him to Marina Hills Animal Hospital, which had been his veterinary provider, to see if any type of medication could help him with the hope that maybe he could live another few weeks. In the past, whenever I took him there they ALWAYS tried to get me to have extra services performed which were always unnecessary and I declined. However, they convinced my wife to have blood workup done on our poor dying dog that was over $500. My wife, desperate and not thinking rationally due to her love for our dog, agreed to the test. 3 days later our beloved dogs situation deteriorated such that we had to euthanize him.I am left angry and bitter that Marina Hills Animal Hospital would prey on my wife vulnerability and recommend an expensive blood test that could not possibly help. The irony is the day before we put him down the vet called very happy to say that his blood work came back good and he was fine...except for some minor issue with a liver enzyme that might require attention. I reminded her that he was dying from his current condition so she stopped pressing that we have his liver checked. To the end they wanted me to spend more money on an obviously hopeless situation. I regret I every trusted Marina Hills Animal Hospital. They have no integrity and clearly take advantage of loving pet owners by recommending unnecessary, expensive treatments, even to dying old dogs.

Comment: I brought my dog to the center and they showed great support and care while they examined my dog. Our doctor, Dr. Arsha did an amazing job examining our dog and she could understand what problem he had almost immediately. Overall this was a great center and I will definitely bring my dog here again because of the amazing care they show for the animals.

Comment: We just moved to California and was referred to Dr. Simon by a neighbor. Our dog had a growth in her nostril that was growing and becoming ulcerated after we tried many courses of treatment. Before Dr. Simon did a biopsy he wanted to send us to an oncologist. Of course no specialist will see the dog without a biopsy confirming a cancer diagnosis. We went back to get a biopsy and he once again told us the 2 scenarios of our dogs prognosis without any information. Whether malignant or benign a portion of her nose would need to be REMOVED! At that point we went to a different Vet to get a second opinion and a biopsy.Thankfully our dog will NOT need to have her nose removed and it is not cancer or anything life threatening. He upset us terribly with no information to substantiate his ridiculous course of action he thought necessary for our dogs treatment. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO TO DR. SIMON!!

Comment: Great 1st time visit! Highly recommend -Dr. Simon & Staff were efficient, professional & friendly. Dr. Simon was able to calm my elderly fearful dog & gave her a thorough exam. I loved that he discussed different options for treatment & together we developed a plan of care to address her pain & mobility issues. Dr. Simon is very knowledgeable & I appreciated his honesty - he did not try to make me change the medicines/supplements/food that have been working for us but explained several improvements for my dogs care that should help her. I look forward to working with Dr. Simon & his Team in the future.

Comment: We were so fortunate to have these vets down the road from us. We had moved into the neighborhood a few days earlier and werent expecting to need a vet so quickly as our dogs were up to date with vaccines, etc. However, our two dogs were rough playing in our backyard and one of them suddenly yelped and went down to the ground in pain. We were able to drop him off so that Dr. Desowitz saw him that day and called to let us know what her thoughts were before moving forward with additional tests and x-rays. Our dog is now scheduled with Drs Simon and Desowitz for surgery as he tore his cruciate ligament in his back left leg. We are extremely pleased with the treatment both we and our dog received and feel lucky to have found Marina Hills Animal Hospital.

Comment: Absolutely the Best Veterinarian Animal Hospital! Excellent customer service. Good and fair pricing. Definitely recommend taking advantage of their Pet Care Rewards membership program. Staff Excel in compassion, knowledge, experience and humor. My family adores Dr. Stevens. Shes amazing.We are grateful for her consultations, attention to detail and clear concise diagnosis with explanations. Dr. Stevens recently diagnosed Dental issues for our 8 yr old baby when we could not figure out why she was so low energy we thought it was age related. Dr. S. recommended and performed dental surgery. Post surgery she has become a mischievous kitten again! The change of her is remarkable!Yagas succinct caring nursing/ Tech skills are unmeasurable. Sues invaluable assistance, positive energy and thoughtfulness along with Sarah Jessica make us feel like theyre part of our family. Collectively above are the very reasons why my husband and I drive from Pasadena. Thank you Dr Simon for creating and providing this unique exceptional Hospital.

Comment: Cannot Recommend –this incident happened a few years back but its a situation that should never occur at any veterinary practice ever! What made this experience so awful was Dr. Tina Stephens trying to run up hundreds of dollars of tests on a puppy that she was told had Intra-Trac 3 vaccine 8 days earlier (this vaccine is for Adenovirous 2, Parainfluenza & Bordatella). The puppy was eating normally, and in fact, had a voracious appetite. Yet this vet wanted to do a$ 178.00 blood panel and $180.00 worth of x-rays and various and sundry other things adding up to $600!!! IMO, a good vet LISTENS to the information a client conveys in terms of symptoms, events and circumstances and proceeds to rule out things in order of probability. Treatment was declined because it seemed as inappropriate as Dr. Stephens theatrics seemingly intended to frighten. The puppy in question was later taken to a veterinary practice on Laguna Canyon Rd, where the veterinarian determined she had Kennel Cough (Bordatella) from her recent intranasal vaccine. No hysterics, no fear tactics, just plain old excellent diagnostic skills ...

Comment: I have been using Marina Hills Animal Hospital for over 4 years and although I recently lost my dog, I will continue to recommend them and, someday in the future when I adopt a new friend, use them again.Dr. Simon, Dr. Stephens and their staff are extremely knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. They always discussed all options available along with costs and potential outcomes so I could make the best decision for my dog.Taking your furry friend to the vet is nearly always stressful...this team makes it much easier with their friendly, calm and caring attitude...I cannot recommend they highly enough!

Comment: This hospital is fantastic! We moved to CA recently and had to find a new vet for our dog and 3 cats. I have been there twice, once for my dogs injured leg and once for a well visit for one of my cats, and I couldnt be happier. Super friendly staff, clean and welcoming atmosphere, and great service. At both visits, after consulting with the doctors, I received a breakdown of the recommended treatment and associated fees. Nothing was done until I gave consent to all treatment and charges, which makes for a pleasant check-out - no surprises when you get the bill! I highly recommend Marina Hills Hospital to anyone looking for a caring veterinarians office.

We have total trust in their treatment of all of our dogs. Also 5 ***** technology, cleanliness and availability in emergencies!
