Dr Simon is so knowledgeable. She and her staff were the only ones to come forward to help save our two week old rescue kittens from a life threatening congenital condition. Nathan took my call on a weekend while at a wedding. I was panicking and he was able to give me a sense of reassurance that they could not only save the babies, but do it for $10,000 less than we had been quoted at VCA, yet VCA wasn’t even sure if they would be willing to perform the surgery needed. They seem to care more about money. Nathan put me at ease, and I knew I was in good hands. Pun intended as our kitten they saved is named Hands :) I trust Dr. Simon more than I would any emergency vet. We care so deeply for our babies and our rescue babies, and I see the same care from Dr. Simon and her staff. Thank you Nathan, thank you Dr. Simon. We will always turn to you for the honest and knowledgeable level of care you’ve provided us. ♥️

Nathan at Simon Vet Surgical has been kind to my dog Ruby in two procedures now- a luxating patella and a tooth removal. He’s prompt, efficient, and helped me with insurance claims too. Not to mention their flat fee pricing including prescription drugs is super competitive. Love it!

What can I say except this place is amazing and I'm so grateful for them. I just had a very large mass removal done on my dog Rowan yesterday. It was fast growing and we kept getting the run around everywhere we went. They quoted me over the phone for free. I'd already paid out $800 on consults & tests at other places that went nowhere. It was a flat rate $5,000 cheaper than the previous surgical center quoted me. They called me part way through and alleviated my fears and let me know she was doing well. That her "friend" was gone and they didn't think she'd miss it lol. The humor was appreciated. Let me know she had some dental issues that they could take care of but wasn't not pushy about it or make me feel bad I couldn't afford it right now. Said we could biopsy the mass but also wasn't pushy about it. I'll be bringing my animals here any time they need surgery because you guys did so great. Even gave anxiety meds because coming out of anesthesia is really difficult for your fur baby. I've never had a vet offer that and it shows they go above and beyond for the comfort of your pet.

This review is long overdue. I can’t thank Dr. Simon and her crew enough. She has performed two successful TPLO surgeries and one plate removal surgery for my boy Baloo. She even took the time to talk me through instructions for his care on a holiday weekend when they were closed. A special thank you to Elma, hope I spelled that right, for always relaying important information and helping me feel comfortable with the process. Baloo obviously wasn’t thrilled about going in for checkups. But with time, he was visibly more comfortable in her care. Going through this surgery process was definitely less stressful because of the care and time they gave. I could call anytime I had a question and they’d gladly check him out to make sure his recovery was going well. The rehab therapy instructions provided were also a huge plus. The rehab work is on the owner so I appreciate them going as far as to have it all laid out week by week and even providing videos on their website so we can see how to properly perform the exercises. I’ve recommended Dr. Simon to friends and clients and will continue to do so. Thank you again. My boy is back to strutting around because of you.

Top-notch service at an affordable price! I was really fretting about how expensive TPLO surgeries were at the few SoCal vets I checked out before I found Simon Vet. They were considerably cheaper and it was great to know that my dog would be cared for at a place that specializes in these type of surgeries. The staff was fantastic and walked me through the whole process and after-care very carefully and my dog Bryce was on his feet in due time. He ended up injuring his other leg a few months later and I went back to Simon Vet again knowing he'd be in great hands. They once again handled him with ease and got us right in. Bryce is now back on his feet and happier than ever. I highly recommend this place!
