Preventive care

We have been going to Pt. Vicente since Liberace was a puppy, he is almost 12. Everyone from the doctors to the technicians have been wonderful this whole time! Over the years Libby started suffering from allergies, then colitis, to an irreversible heart condition to occasional "scares." Dr. Micco has been diligent, caring and has gone above and beyond the call of her profession! She is an angel on earth! In her absence, Dr. B has been amazing. Thank you to all those (Dawn, Shawna, James...) that helped Liberace when he was on a "hunger strike" and wouldn't eat...bringing him food from home, hand feeding him. Big hugs and kisses to you all. Thank you for taking care of our dog, as he is our family and loved so much!!!! Marisa Kunich (picture from the day Santa brought him to this past week, feeling much better)

We brought our bunnies Nomi and Sunshine to Dr. Dueppen for a checkup, and she was absolutely outstanding ! She made our little ones feel right at home, and was so informative and reassuring to us (we are new Bunny parents). Point Vicente is our new go-to veterinary hospital for our sweet little buns !

I took Buttercup here the first time she got sick and they saved her life 💙 They took such great care of her this time as well. They also helped me out with Bruno and he’s a big boy. Thank you guys for the help and the patience, great place to take your sick buddy they really care and know what they’re doing.

I have been going here for years, starting with bringing my rats to Dr. Micco. I now bring my two dogs and I am always satisfied after my visits with the care and compassion I am given. If you are looking for a new hospital, give them a try you will not be disappointed.

Pasadena Hospital had quoted me a $140 deposit for just an exam & availability in 5 days. Same-day was $199. Pt Vicente was over double the commute time but for a hedgehog exam, oral meds, topical cream, & nail trimming it was $127 total & a same-day appt was available! Afterwards, we had a beach photo shoot 2 miles away.
