We live in the Palisades and I have been using Pali Vet for years. Dr. Jordon and her predecessor provided excellent care. With regret I must post a warning to others. I made an emergency visit to Pali Vet because our then 2 year old pup became lethargic and demonstrated a neurological issue. Rather than perform a urine test to see if he ate something, a complete work up was done at tremendous cost; as it turned out our pup must have ingested something and he quickly recovered within a few hours of being seen. I paid the bill and then wrote to the owner several times and expressed concern about the billing practice. I anticipated the owner would respond and work through the problem. The owner ignored my request for a conversation. Be careful about over utilization. Also, I made several requests for my pups records which were ignored. Finally, yesterday the records were sent to me by email. I inquired once again about having a conversation with the owner. The owner did not respond. Clearly the owner is unwilling to address a reasonable request for a conversation. Be careful if you use this facility. I will post again if this review results in the owner responding.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE. If I could give 0 stars I would. I took my 2 1/2 year old cat here, she's been to lots of different vets and cat dentists and we've never had an issue. After waiting 40 minutes, hearing a scream meow from the back, and then seeing another HUGE cat wandering out, the vet finally came out to tell me my cat was 'attacking' them... My cat has never attacked anyone, and we've never had an issue at any other vet or drs appointment. I asked what they did, she said nothing. Which was shocking after waiting 40 minutes. I took her home and when I got her out of her carrier her leg was soaking wet, I smelled it and it wreaked of alcohol. After calling the office back again, demanding they tell me what they did to my cat, the front desk was adamant they did nothing and almost hung up on me. I had to argue with her to finally ask the doctor what was done since my cat was now licking it and I have no idea what it is or if it's safe. They should have told me what was done and cleaned it off. The doctor said maybe my cat didn't like the smell...it did small like poop and pee, but maybe she didn't like the treatment or having another HUGE cat wandering around her. If you care about your pet, don't bring them here.

Thanks to Dr. L and her staff, my 11 year old Westie now has her severe skin allergies in check. Seriously, this journey has been so challenging for several years, several veterinarian clinicians and specialists. I am elated that I now have my sweet and happy Westie dog back that is loving life again. Thank you Dr L. For your patience and expertise!!🐾❤️

In all the veterinary hospitals I have been to over the many years and pets I have had, THIS clinic/hospital has demonstrated incredibly compassionate care for my current pet, a cat named Lilly de Pueblo. Dr. L was very attentive and caring when treating Lilly. She observed her, took necessary actions to eliminate possible diagnosis's, and listened to what my observations of Lilly were when she was at home. Ultimately, after trying to treat Lilly's condition at home in her own environment, it became clear that Lilly needed round the clock care with IV fluids and medications to help her. Today, 5 days home from her hospitalization, I am very happy to report that Lilly is doing much better. She still has a little more healing to do, but she shows improvement everyday. Lilly is an adopted older kitty, so we don't know all that she has been through, but I do know this much; no cat could be more loved more than she, and no Veterinarian could be kinder and more thorough than Dr. L. Thank you Dr. L and PPVC staff!

Horrible service & experience. We booked our dog a vaccination and called ahead to make sure they had it and we were all set no less than 3 times. We drove an hour & when we got there, they didn't have the vaccine in stock. Their only response was 'sorry'. We're now scrambling to find an alternative a few days before our travel. Wouldn't be as upset if we hadn't called for them to check in advance. Clearly they were just too lazy to actually check.
