Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dr. Palmquist is the vet you will wish you had from the start of your pets life. He is so heart centered, real and incredible. I searched high and low for him. Since being with him our cat Ray has lost 3 pounds in 2 months and is shrinking his tumors.

Dr. Palmquist is a gift to animals. I wish all vets would approach care like he does. There is no upselling, overmedicating, or churn and burn feeling. He spends quality time with us to understand his recommendations and time with the dogs to make them safe and calm. We couldn't ask for a better vet for our two dogs, Isla and Rio. He receives our highest recommendation!

THE BEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL in our dog's 14.5 years. I just wish we found this amazing hospital earlier in our journey - it would have saved us so much grief over the years of finding the right hospital. Our sweet boy Auggie, went to many vets over the years. We would find someone we liked and then they would leave the hospital and the care would go downhill. Then we would start the search again. Auggie had emotional trauma from our last vet hospital's negative treatment and I was so worried about starting over at a new place, but my fears went away instantly. The minute I met the staff and Dr Orme, I knew we had found our home. Not only do they practice incredible vet medicine, they truly care about their patients. My uncle is an incredible vet in S. Fl and I was raised at his hospital - Centinela has the same care and quality. It felt like home. Although Auggie had a short time as a patient, as his life was coming to an end, I know that he felt safe and loved at Centinela. Thank you Dr. Orme, Dr. Palmquist, and staff for going above and beyond for our Auggie Boy...even down to the last minutes of his life. We are forever grateful to you all. We are so appreciative of your compassion and professionalism. When we are ready to bring a new dog into our life, we know that your hospital will be the only one we will bring them to.

If I had to sum up the veterinarian in one word, I would ask for more words. I call him humble, knowledgeable, personable, innovative, and caring. Dr. Palmquist takes his time with every patient (don't expect ANY vet's office to be on time) and educates the human that comes with their pet. He takes the time needed to diagram disease processes and the organs that are affected. He is keenly aware of a person's concern and even finances without them being revealed. He took off some $ off my friend's dog's bill because she was going to need treatment twice a week for a few weeks. Nobody else does that in LA! Eventhough they can afford higher priced vets, even celebrity pets come to Centinela. I met a famous Instagram pet in thr parking lot. Though folks might not think Inglewood is safe, Centinela's location is perfectly safe and around the corner from one of the priciest neighborhoods. When you arrive, park your care in the parking lot right next to the clinic. Go in front of the office and they will come out to register you. Dr. Palmquist himself will come find you at your car.

I've been taking my special beloveds to CAH for over a decade. I love the amazing, caring, knowledgeable humans there. They do as much holistically as possible, and conventionally, when needed. This is a small hospital with wonderful people. I've read reviews of people upset that they didn't get fast service or some other issue. Look, the world is still dealing with small staff and supply shortages due to the shutdowns, let's be real. Life is not the same. And yet this crew gets in there and does amazing work with love. Dr Palmquist and staff could not have been more kind or lovely when it was time to let our Ozzie pass. And they continue to be amazing with out sweet Lily and her many health challenges. Dr Palmquist, Dr Orme, Dr Johnson, and the staff are fabulous humans who take beautiful care of my cat. We love and appreciate them.
