We’ve been coming here with our pup for 5 years. Our dog loves coming here to much she cries if they don’t take her to the back right away. She can’t wait to see her favorite people. Dr Berg is amazing. He’s so knowledgeable and you can tell he truly cares about your pet; that man is doing the job he’s meant to be doing. Dani the practice manager is also one of a kind, and their tech team is incredible (Stephanie is our babies favorite). We’ve had emergency visits, surgeries, and check ups here. They’ve stayed open late for me when I rushed a friend in for a very unexpected end of life appointment and made us feel so cared for and showed us so much compassion despite having to stay open after hours for us. Huge shout out to the entire front desk team as well - so friendly, approachable, and warm. 10/10 would recommend SMVG to anyone and everyone. When you find a practice that really cares about your pets, you stick with them .

I am an extremely busy person but I would be remiss in not taking a moment to celebrate the outstanding experience I had with Santa Monica Veterinary Group last night. At 7:00pm, I found myself scrambling on google to find a Vet, needing to immediately update a vaccine record for an HOA lease agreement. From the moment I called, I was assured they could help. I arrived 20 minutes before closing, with my 80lb. Dutch Shepherd (Who despises trips to the vet). Each of the 4 four team members I encountered throughout the visit were welcoming, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They made the 25-minute process so easy, offering a wealth of knowledge about my dog's health along the way. Their prices are fair and affordable, I felt great with an afterhour Exam, Vaccine and two flea treatments for $220 and in SANTA MONICA (where everything is usually incredibly- overpriced). They offered several other enticing add-on services and were not pushy when I declined. Their service to my dog seemed genuine and thoughtful overall. It's difficult to find a Business of any kind in LA that hits all the marks so well; Prime Location, Great Prices, Excellent & Knowledgeable Customer Service. SMVG will be the only Veterinarian we use going forward.

I loved my experience here. I felt welcomed, taken care of and as if my dog would be cared for well. Which he was. The staff are professional, provide clarity and answered all my questions. I’d like to especially highlight Mia Rivers nice who provided my dog with exceptional care and set me at ease every step of the way during my visit. I highly recommend be cared for her and if your feeling uncertain about your visit, Mia will be sure to guide you every step of the way. She deserved a raise and promotion for all her professionalism and great work! Job well done! I will be back and tell all my friends.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Santa Monica Veterinary Group and especially Dr. Omar Khalaf. I brought my 11-year-oldFrench bulldog in for a gastrotomy, and after receiving absolutely outrageous quotes from other clinics, Santa Monica Vet Group was not only reasonably priced, but compassionate, honest, and transparent every step of the way. Every single staff member I encountered was kind, considerate, and incredibly helpful. I drove three hours for this surgery, and I would do it again without hesitation. From start to finish, I felt supported and reassured during such a terrifying time. Dr. Khalaf and his team quite literally saved my dog’s life. Their skill, care, and genuine concern were evident in everything they did. I trusted them completely, and that trust was more than earned. I give Santa Monica Veterinary Group my highest possible recommendation. I absolutely loved Dr. Khalaf and his team, and I am forever grateful for the care they provided. Thank you for giving my dog a second chance at life.
