How to Save Money at Complete Animal Eye Care Center

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Do not waste your $ here. Only spoke to the doctor for 2mins while the technician performed all the testing. The tech brought my dog out to me and the receptionist handed me a folder and said “here is the diagnosis. There is nothing we can do.” I asked to speak to the doctor and she said he was busy and stared at me. I asked how long he would be, she replied “i dont know. Maybe an hour.” $200 for this. Luckily, Google and my vet explained what was going on with my dog and gave me options for treatment. Again, do not go here.

I can't emphasize enough how crooked and expensive vets are here in the LA area. Let alone specialists like Dr. Silverman! Call any eye Doc for pups in all of LA, and just for a consultation exam u are paying a minimum of 400 non refunded or partial credit of like 100 bucks towards treatment. Dr. Silverman charged me more than half the price less! He conducted a procedure for around 300 I was quoted 800 for out of a Doctor in Studio city. 1 of my Bull dogs eyes had further complications due to him scratching his eye again! The Doctor solved the problem in one complete additional visit! I was short on cash and he gave me a discount. Not too mention his rent is sky high with a prime location in Sherman oaks Southside of Ventura blvd. Trust me when I say this... run out of all other eye docs in LA and come here. Dr. Silverman was recommended highly by MASH in West hollywood. The best Vet Hospital in all of LA!. Trust me, he's the best Eye Doc for animals on the WestCoast!. I love this place. Thank u for healing my Henry!

I am so glad I took my dog to Dr. Silverman. My little dog Buddy had a cherry eye that wouldn't go away, so we took the cheap route by having Banfield (our primary care vet) do the surgery, but then 4 weeks later the gland popped back out again. Also, the job looked messy. So then I decided to see a specialist, Dr Silverman. He did an amazing job. When I took Buddy home from surgery, you couldn't even tell he had an operation done. The work was flawless. Unfortunately 5 months later Buddy's cherry eye on the other eye popped out, so we had to give him surgery again. There was absolutely no hesitation in going back to Complete Animal Eye Care. Again, Silverman did a great job and he worked with us in pricing. Silverman went above and beyond. They offered 0% interest financing called Care Credit - which I took advantage of to pay for this.

Dr. Silverman is a miracle worker. Other reviews have shared the same sentiment and I agree with it wholeheartedly. He treated our Boston Terrier for severe glaucoma almost five years ago. Our dog could barely see. Today, our dog is almost 14 and his eyes are still in pretty good condition considering his age. More to the point, our dog can see better today than he could five years ago. Dr. Silverman is a life saver.
