I’ve been bringing my French Bulldog here since 2022 for environmental allergy treatment, including biweekly immunotherapy shots. Until now, I’ve always had good experiences with the doctors, nurses, and front desk. My recent visit, however, was a complete nightmare because of the receptionist, Rubye K. Her attitude was shockingly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, as if she was doing me a favor just by speaking to me. I came to pick up my dog’s $231+ half vial, which must be kept refrigerated. In the past, they always provided an ice pack, especially since I drive from Santa Monica and don’t go straight home. This time, Rubye and her colleague claimed they have “never given ice packs.” I felt completely gaslit because that is simply untrue after more than three years as a client. When I explained that the weather was almost 80°F and I needed to keep the vial cold, she stomped off, came back with an overly frozen ice pack in a paper bag, tossed it at me, and told me not to freeze the vial or I’d need to buy a new one. No courtesy, no problem-solving, just attitude. There was also an issue with my order on their side. I had already spoken to their lab technician, Jaime, who agreed I would receive a credit for my next order. Rubye repeatedly said, “There is no Jaime working here” and acted like she was disgusted that I even brought it up. When I continued to request written confirmation of the credit, she acted as though I was asking for something outrageous and kept refusing to help. Thankfully, her colleague eventually stepped in and resolved it in seconds. To top it off, when I handed Rubye my parking ticket for validation, she literally snatched it from me and tossed it back. I’ve spent thousands of dollars at this clinic and expect at least basic respect and professionalism. A couple of rude staff can ruin the entire experience, and unfortunately, that is exactly what happened. The doctors here are fine, but after years of treatment, my dog’s allergies have not improved much. The only time he truly did well was under Dr. Wayne Rosenkrantz from the Tustin clinic, who is an excellent doctor but too far for us. After this incident, I am seriously considering switching providers.

The doctor prescribed a prescription flea med on Wednesday. In fact, her suggestion was to get it from Chewy, which I ordered. I called the doctors office on Thursday to ask them to approve it. They never bothered to call me back. I called again on Friday and spoke to Leslie, who was one of the rudest people I've have ever spoken to. She said their policy for meds is 72 hours to approve. In trying to explain to her it was prescribed by the doctor and neither the doctor nor assistant told me anything about 72 hours, she simply kept talking over me saying that was their policy with no interest in listening or helping! Yet, no one in the previous two days said anything about 72 hours. She said no one will look at the request until Monday, 6 days after the med was ordered! Simply ridiculous and Leslie should be fired for her rude demeanor! My cat apparently may be allergic to fleas, thus the possible need for the prescription flea med. To have the cat wait suffering for 6 days to even have it approved (especially when prescribed by their own doctor) and then wait 2-3 days for Chewy to get it to me is pretty screwed up if you ask me! Complete breakdown in the concern for pets here, not to mention it costs a fortune to see these people...$280 just to walk in the door! You'd think at those prices they could hire people that knew how to take care of customers as well as have someone that could simply look at an email and approve a med they themselves prescribed!

My Dog Bhunie is treated by Dr. Erin Corb. She is Not only very Thorough but she is an Expert in her Field. She takes the time to look over the smallest concerns and always comes up with the best Treatment plan. My Dog Constantly has Skin & ear issues that Vary and Everytime I bring her for treatment with Dr. Corb I am beyond Satisfied. She always puts Bhunie on the best medication that actually works. Dr. Corb is a Life saver and has fixed so many issues with my Dog that other Vets have failed to help with. Words cannot describe How Happy I am that my Dog Bhunie has Dr. Corb to Heal and Treat her! Dr. Corb Thank you for being who you are and all that you do for Bhunie!

Wonderful caring staff front and back. I’ve been seeing Dr. Kirby for several years and she’s just amazing. Gemma has greatly improved and needs less meds under her guidance. Highly recommend!

Last Monday spoke w wiley in marina del Rey ofc said appt at Torrance ofc will be scheduled Heather and Natalie answer phone. Natalie made june 16 appt. Very unhelpful w costs. Offended that I even SSKED HOW MUCH EVERYTHING MAY BE!!! $175 for exam plus 75 for most labs upto 3 per exam plus meds Another $300 Get there EARLY. But sat waiting 1 hour. Then another hour in exam room. I came out a few times asking if we have been forgotten. I think the woman behind desk NATALIE- said WE WILL HAVE TO LOCK YOU IN THAT EXAM ROOM! DID YOU LEAVE YOUR DOG UNSUPERVISED?! ( in the closed up exam room). Dr Kirby - female comes in- I ask- was there a near death emergency going on? Is everyone ok? She looked perplexed. I stated- well you are TWO HOURS LATE for my appointment. If it were the other way around YOU WOULD CHARGE ME FOR YOUR TIME AND RESTRICT ME FROM COMING HERE AGAIN! Well Either Dr Kirby is always incompetent or I set her off to be discriminating against my dog because of my initial complaint. So she IS BIASED and must treat her gently She is very sensitive to any valid criticism. No help. Just pay for tests and do a 24 hr test where my dog cannot eat anything?! $500. The allergy serum would be $500 each use every month. I asked can’t we due process of elimination. Dr Kirby Never heard of it! ( turned out - remove CHICKEN FROM DIET SOLVED PROBLEM! And there is a topical antifungal mousse sold at GOOD VET OFFICES that helped the skin sores heal in 3 days!) Also dr Kirby NEVER prescribed antibiotic and antifungal for my dog’s OPEN INFECTED SORES ALL OVER!!! She Said go back to my regular dr for that! Useless and cruel to animals. Waste of your precious time and $$$ My dog was in pain and this place made it worse! Cruelty is the point!
