Value Vet

When I rescued my husky he did not receive any of his shots or any veterinary attention and he was already 4 months old. This place does not have the prettiest waiting room or office space, but they have the nicest crew. My husky is the first full bred dog I’ve ever owned and as they were doing the consultation the people that were helping me were giving me little tips and tricks on how to care for a husky while keeping my puppy calm by playing and petting him.
Consultation $ 40

What a great vet! I really don’t know if I can improve upon Kumiko’s review. The office is pretty basic, there are no exact appointment times and sometimes you have to sit in a parking lot waiting for your turn. But what you get is an experienced vet — make sure you see Dr. Davidson — who knows what he’s talking about, and is upfront. He’s a straight talker who doesn’t upsell you on services your pet doesn’t need. And the prices are actually very fair. I’d also like to give a shout out to his assistant John, who treated my dog Fiona like the princess she thinks she is.

Went here for the first time yesterday since I’m done with the other overcharged vets in the area. Consultation is $ 40, not a bad wait, and Dr. Leslie was just knowledgable and straight to the point. He explained that Leelo’s allergy was actually from the pollen not a food allergy that was suggested by our other vet. He also respectsd our decision to feed him raw and dis not make us feel like a «bad guy».
The bill was half of what I’m usually paying, nice doctor, friendly staff, all good

Great price for great care! I came here for my first check up for my puppy and it was quick and only cost me right around 40 $. The Dr. Was very nice and so was the receptionist. Went to VCA last night for the first time and the only thing they had in which was luxuriously different was indoor seating, cups for coffee, and a T.V. With Chanel’s 1 – 13, and I paid 177 $ for the same type of check up which took much longer!
So trust me, though they don’t have a nice waiting area, and you have to sit outside for a bit, it’s worth the money you could possible save for great care! And fresh corn grill is right on the other side so you can get some good lunch while you wait!

I have been looking for a vet office like this ever since I moved to LA 8 years ago! I took my 2 cats in for the first time on a Monday morning. Wait time was less than 15 mins and the visit itself was fast, but not rushed. The vets techs were extremely nice and professional and Dr. Davidson himself was amazing! The DR never tried to push anything on me and talked to me straight about what he thought was wrong with my cats. Other vets have tried so hard to make me feel like a terrible pet owner. I expected to pay a lot, but the bill was quite reasonable considering he looked at my 2 cats at the same time. By far the lowest price for a vet consultation I have come across here in the LA area. The office may be small, but the savings& rewards are huge!
Dr. Davidson is a modern day James Harriot! Thank you!

We’ve been bringing our dogs here for over ten years. Dr. Davidson, while compassionate, is straight forward in his evaluations and so caring in his referrals. He gives us options and listens to our concerns which of course makes us feel better while he is making our dogs feel better. The office staff is very helpful and human — they have good days and bad days so you have to be patient at times. But, it is all worth it because this is the best place in Los Angeles to take your pet! Looking at the other reviews, I would agree on the pricing issues — but honestly, the real reason we come here is Dr. Davidson ~ he is that good and his staff is very caring.

Best Vet in town!!! I can’t say enough about this place! My cat Cudi is SOOOOO thankful for Dr. Davidson and his staff! I’ve been coming here for years and they get it right every time!!! Thanks Value Vet!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! If I was able to give this inhumane establishment zero stars I would!!! There is nothing valuable about this office and the pets who are patients here are better off if this place closed due to lack of expertise, knowledge of animals, and COMPLETE misdiagnosis of my dog.
Not only did Dr. Hall botch my Labradors surgery once, but TWICE! She is the most inconsiderate, heartless, unprofessional «Doctor» that I have ever encountered in my entire life. Let’s first acknowledge that this office is basically a shed and is absolutely not sanitary in any way to perform any type of surgery or procedure in!
We noticed that my dog had a cyst growing out of his left upper eye lid and were immediately concerned. We took him in to get his eye checked and had to wait over an hour and half to finally get in to see the doctor at the office that day, which was Dr. Hall. The doctor or should I just refer to her as the BUTCHER diagnosed max with a cyst that was considered to be «extremely normal» with his breed and referred to his procedure as being «extremely routine» and claimed that she has done «over 30 – 40 of these procedures». She then prescribed our dog with 3 – 4 different kinds of medication to get him ready for his surgery the following week. She assured us that the recovery time was 5 days to a week and that he would only need to wear a cone around his head for one week until his full recovery. Let’s keep in mind that the surgery was around $ 300 not including all of his pre and post op medications that we needed to purchase as well.
We come to pick my dog up the day of his surgery and see 5 – 7 stitches in his eye and that there was yellow discharge dripping out of his eye, which she said was completely normal. 3 – 4 days go by and we noticed that his eye is not getting better and is starting to look even worse then before. There is now bloody discharge coming out of his eye and his beautiful hazel eyes now have a bluish-​grey film over them. Dr. Hall or anyone in that office for that matter, do not bother to even call us to check up on our dog after his surgery and make sure he is okay.
We immediately take him into the office the following day, freaking out and not sure what was going on. Our biggest fear was the he was losing vision in his eye. The doctor that day (not dr. Hall) starts checking his eye and notices that the stitches that DR HALL placed were done incorrectly and one of the stitches was actually scratching his cornea. My dog was in so much pain and after trying calming him down with the help of the nurse (only person in the office that I can say has a heart) she was able to cut the stitch that she thought was causing the scratching and discomfort. She said that would fix the problem and his eye should start healing properly now. Again we were prescribed more medication, a charge for coming into the office and no call from Dr. Hall to see why we had to come in.
That same night around 7 pm, we noticed that our dog, who is normally a very hyper active dog, is acting very unusual and abnormal. We knew he was prescribed some medication that was supposed to make him drowsy, but now his eye was completely shut and he could no longer open it. We rushed him to VCA hospital in west Hollywood and were told that the doctor who did his procedure did not remove the stitch that was scratching his cornea correctly and prescribed him the wrong medication.
A week later we took our dog in to remove the final stitches in his eye and dr hall let us know that the stitches that she placed caused his eye to form scar tissue and that now he needs to have another surgery to fix the first surgery that she botched. Again our poor dog had to go under anesthesia so Dr. hall can «fix» or let’s just say practice her cruelty on his eye. Of course, she completely botched that surgery as well and his eye was completely bloody, and we noticed that he can no longer see anything out of that eye. A couple days went by, obviously no phone call from Dr. hall to see how he is doing, and we decide to take him in again for an emergency check up at Value Vet. The minute my mom walks in with him to see the vet on site that day, she told my mom that she refuses to touch him because of how badly he looked. She was so In shock by the butchery that dr. Hall made that she took several pictures and sent them to the emergency eye care center at city of angels hospital. She looked at my mom and told her to rush there right now because she was afraid that my dog could no longer see from his eye and potentially has lost his vision. Even a member of value vet, came and told my mom that they believed that dr. Hall did botch the surgery and to make sure we have complete records of all of his files in case we need to pursue legal action.
Now, he needs to have reconstructive surgery that is costing us a fortune, he will no longer have full vision in his left eye, and his eye will be permanently grey! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE

Dr. Davidson is the best, most informed vet I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a few with my high maintenance Cavalier. Yes, you will have to wait, but when you finally get in you’ll be with a Dr. who gives you his time, full attention and advice that is best for the animal — not for his pocketbook. He’s relaxed and speaks to you like you have a brain and an idea about your pet’s health. I really appreciated his help with my pup and will be back.

You get what you pay for.
Which means you won’t get a nice lobby to sit in with fancy floral arrangements, a beverage station, comfortable bathroom, or multiple televisions. Or lots of time with the doctor, or an appointment for an office visit. No, you sign in on a check-​in sheet, wait your turn outside in the parking lot, and feel somewhat rushed through your time with the tech and the doctor.
What you DO get is a good chunk of savings – you’re not paying for the aforementioned nonsense you’d pay for at more upscale veterinary hospitals. You’re paying for solid veterinary services. I brought my dog to have a bladder stone surgically removed. The whole situation was somewhat traumatic because I’d just adopted my beautiful dog when I found out she had the stone. There was no way I was going to return her to the shelter!!! I was quoted over $ 3000 at another hospital, which sounded crazy to me. So I found Value Vet and the cost was about one third of that! That includes bloodwork, anesthesia, and post-​op meds.
Dr. Hall performed the surgery. She was very patient with all of my questions and I thought she had a great demeanor. My puppy recovered quickly and has not had any stones or crystals since. She’s been on a diet to reduce urinary stones ever since. By the way, kudos to Value Vet for not marking up their veterinary diets too much! I compared their price to what I’d pay online and it wasn’t much of a difference.
I’ve also taken both of my cats there to both Dr. Hall and Dr. Davidson, who were both great with them :)

I’ve always gotten great care here from the staff. This is an affordable place to take your dog for shots, basic medical care, etc. I used to go to a different vet but it’s hard to afford pet care sometimes with two dogs. I have found this place to be almost half the price as my other vet. Just arrive early and prepare to wait as they are walk-​in.

Woof woof! Dr. Davidson and those that work in the practice are the best! Competent, efficient, and caring care for our two golden retrievers Mick and Jack who have been Dr. Davidson’s patients since they were 8 weeks old. They are both happy and healthy at 9 years and counting. Dr. Davidson and Dr. Hull correctly diagnosed lip cancer on Mick last year. It was removed quickly and Mick has been cancer free for 14 months. Jack was recently feeling under the weather but Dr. Davidson is taking good care, offering solutions and next steps in his care. My kitty kat Murphy also is a patient for the last 12 years and she thinks Dr. Davidson is great too.

A good place to take your pups to get them treated right. They treat my pups like family. The only thing is they sometimes have a long wait and therefore it may sometimes take hours. So call ahead if you can.

I’ve been to so many high end vets and haven’t been impressed at all. This location is just a tiny room behind a pet store and they do not take appointments, but the best vet I have been to. The staff & veterinarian are amazing! You sign in & wait outside. I won’t go anywhere else as long as I am living in Los Angeles. I usually sit in my car with my dogs until it’s our turn. Less anxiety for the doggies. Love this place.

I took my dog here for the first time and will make this my new regular vet. The vet here is so nice, and highly educated. It’s SO reasonably priced, you won’t get ripped off or feel like you are being robbed in order to help your animal. The only downside, which it’s totally worth it for the amount of money you will be saving, the wait can get long if they are busy (an hour tops). It is walk in only so if you go on the weekend, or a busy day since it’s just one vet seeing everyone it can be a wait, but there’s a great restaurant next door you can hang out at, and they go really quick. Most times it’s only a 20 min wait on average though. Parking is great it’s a lot right there by the vet and they fill dog prescriptions there plus there’s a groomer and dog store connected so you can get everything you need in one stop.

My vet office of 15 years recently closed and I thought of checking out a low cost vet office, which led me to Dr. Davidson. I have always paid full price for vet services at various veterinary hospitals, but I trusted the reviews I read about Dr. Davidson and his tiny but well equipped office and went for a visit.
They don’t take appointments but when I arrived there was only one patient ahead of us for vaccines. Dr. D carefully listened as I explained I suspected a thyroid deficiency in my cat. For 65 dollars he was able to do an on site blood test. Unfortunately, my cat had eaten too recently so the test resulted inconclusive. But at no additional cost he sent the blood to be analyzed at a different lab. He thoroughly communicated with me about the condition and took his time with us. Such a dear experienced Veterinarian, I’m sorry I didn’t know about him sooner.
My dog also came along for a nail trim and while we waited for the blood test he gave her a good inspection as well. We talked about some arthritis treatments and cataract eye drops that had never before been mentioned by the «expensive» vets. Hallelujah ! A Dr. That actually cares and isn’t all about surgeries! I don’t normally write reviews but I want to tell everyone this place is amazing. The reception at the front desk was equally satisfying. Smiles and TLC are the name of the game at this place. Also, the exam was 40 bucks and the nail trim was 10. Another office quoted 250 – 300 dollars for a thyroid test.
Thank you Dr. Davidson! Apparently there are different doctors sometimes so I would call ahead to make sure to see Dr. D

The best vet in Los Angeles. Reasonably priced because you don’t pay for expensive overhead. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson and his staff. He is a kind, caring vet and very empathetic and professional.

Excellent! I recently needed to have my cat fixed and I searched on-​line, choosing this place based on price and reviews. I’m really glad I brought our cat to Value Vet. The staff was friendly, quick and up-​front about costs and procedure details, and their service was great. Other places had not only higher prices, but it took a couple calls just to get a quote, in addition to having over a two week wait for an appointment. There was hardly any wait when we dropped him off and picked him up, a simple and quick paperwork process, served with smiles and professionalism. Our questions were politely answered, and you could tell that they really cared about our cat’s well being, as well as easing our anxiety. Our kitty was treated great, was happy, and the surgery went just fine, and he’s been awesome. Great choice! Thank you Value Vet! :)

I like this place because the vets and vet assistants care. The place is LITERALLY 300 sq feet but they have a waiting area outside. Remember if they ask you if you need to see a vet while you’re in there (instead of just having the vet assistant do it) that’s code for an extra cost. Their prices are better than most animal hospitals, which is why I go to them. Sometimes they wave the visit fee.
I’d give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the woman who works at the front desk. Not the young woman, she’s great. There’s a woman at the front who consistently misguides me when I want to come in. She’s told me I can come in and when I get there she tells me that the doctor is done for the day. She’s done this several times.
TLDR; THEY’RE GREAT BUT CALL AHEAD TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN TAKE YOU, THEY DON’T BOOK APPOINTMENTS. AND PARK BEHIND THE PET STORE, THERE’S PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS THERE.

Have taken my dog since she was a puppy, now she is 3.
Best service at best prices!
I love how they are so patient and caring with my dog. They do all they can to make her feel at ease! Highly recommended!
