The staff and doctor could not have been more kind and compassionate. My little girl had her eye surgery and has fully recovered. She is back to her active, happy self.

Dr. McNabb and her staff are a God-send! After having endured a nightmare of eye destruction caused by an incompetent, and likely dishonest, eye doctor in Thousand Oaks, now Calabasas (they recently moved), we were given a referral by a friend to Dr. McNabb. Dr. McNabb was able to save our dog's other "good" eye, after she all but lost the other one to ulceration caused by calcium deposits. The ulceration that ended with her mostly losing her eye was preventable had we been with a competent doctor who could formulate an appropriate treatment plan. It was a terrible trauma and left a young, extremely active Blue Heeler very visually impaired. Thank heavens that we found Dr. McNabb when our dog's remaining "good" eye was also starting to ulcerate for the same reason, only 2 months later. Dr. McNabb quickly and perfectly applied the correct treatment plan, which resulted in the calcium deposits that were causing the ulcerations to dissipate, leaving her with a healthy, clear eye. Dr. McNabb also expertly performed a fairly minor procedure to help polish remaining calcium off our dog's eye, which also helped the medication work better and her cornea to heal properly. Dr. McNabb and her staff are massively attentive, responsive, helpful and are extremely fair on pricing. Unlike the terrible eye doctor who recently moved to Calabasas, Dr. McNabb's office does not try to apply "emergency"charges when it is not appropriate (ie - when they caused the emergency to happen). Take your animal to Dr. McNabb! Do not mess around with anyone else in the area...trust me, it is worth the short drive to Studio City. She is board-certified and extremely excellent all-around and you will have MUCH less trauma, unnecessary suffering and extra "costs$" incurred, both monetarily and emotionally. Dr. McNabb is wonderful.

I've been bringing my Feline friend to Animal Vision Care for about 5 years to treat his Kerititus. This is a condition that effects the outer eye surface and if left untreated it leads to blindness. My Cat got it from his mother as did the rest of the litter. There is no cure but it can be controlled with medication. Untreated, it also creates calcium deposits on the eye surface which can take time to resolve. Most Vets do not specialize in eye ailments which is why we go to a place like this. Animal Vision is run by Dr. Noelle McNabb who is very knowledgeable, helpful, and is pleasant to deal with. Located in Studio City with plenty of available parking. Highly recommended.

AMAZING! We (my dog Lucy, her puppy sister, me and my husband) are so thankful for Dr. McNabb's care with Lucy, we have had the best experience with her and all of her staff. Lucy is doing great and has not needed surgery after proper treatment. Another specialist we saw in the valley prior to making our way here was quick to want to schedule surgery the very next day after seeing her without any kind of records or taking Lucy's heart condition into consideration and scheduled a $6,400 surgery! Talk about insane! Who has that kind of money? We love our girl, but that was a huge pill to try to swallow! Like I said, THANK god I found Animal vision Care & Surgical center, Dr. McNabb is a true care giving doctor and has got Lucy on track to not need surgery and extend her vision in her bad eye with proper drugs without costly surgery.

Having a pet lose their vision is heavy on the heart, but Dr. McNabb and her staff are absolutely incredible! My dog suddenly lost his sight due to cataracts that progressed alarmingly fast, but the team got me in as soon as they could, and Dr. McNabb was so kind and knowledgeable. I don’t think I would have been able to get through this past week without this incredible place, and I know that I can trust them to help me care for a blind pet for this later part of his life. I cannot recommend them enough!
