Valencia Animal Hospital

Although the clinic is a bit of a drive for me and the cats, Dr. Z and the staff at Valencia Animal Hospital are well worth the trek. The clinic is exceptionally clean with separate entrances and rooms for cats and dogs. The wait time is quick to below average, and Dr. Z is attentive, caring, and hilarious too. She is one of the few vets I have been to that seems to have an equal love for all types of animals: cats, dogs, birds, etc! As a cat owner, I appreciate the care and patience Dr. Z exercises while dealing with my crabby old boy cat. This has not often been the case at other vets.

The other thing to note: I have never felt pressured to order expensive tests. The doctor is very clear to distinguish between tests that are absolutely necessary, recommended, and top of the line. With a hyperthyroid and heart murmur cat, the tests alone could wipe out my bank accounts and then some. It's been really great to work with a vet that is sensitive to your limitations and helps you plan/manage your pet's care without making you feel irresponsible. She is great about giving multiple options of both diagnostics and treatment, again without pushing the most expensive plan as the mandatory course of action.

The pricing for my animals medication is also noticeably cheaper here than in comparison to what I was paying at a VCA clinic and another private vet clinic.

Overall, I appreciate the hospital's great care, good prices, and respectfulness. Highly recommended!

Dr. Rosen is a great vet. She has always shown a genuine love and interest in the health and well being of my dog, and he loves her to pieces in return. When he is at the vet for the day, he gets lots of toys and attention, and I get to see all the photos of the fun day he had. He is always wagging his tail in her presence. One of my favorite pictures of my dog is Dr. Rosen giving him a bear hug (he is 100 lbs). Love is the best medicine a vet can give an animal. Love her.

I've been going to Valencia Animal Hospital since they opened. I love this place!. The staff is friendly, caring and will try to work you in in an emergency to make sure your pet is cared for. My animals are always comfortable going there. I think the sun rises and sets in Dr. Rosen! She always gives my 5 animals the greatest care. This lady truly cares about her patients and loves the critters who come to visit her. She is understanding and is willing to work with me while giving my furry kids the very best care possible. What a great vet and staff.

Dr. Rosen is a great vet. She is very knowledgeable and caring. Have not had any problems for 2 1/2 yrs. Feel safe knowing that our dog is being well cared for.

I have been to Dr. Rosen several times over the coarse of the last year. It started out well, but has gotten progressively worse. I am in disbelief with the way the she speaks to her clients. She is very unprofessional and I will not be returning.

They are the best. Pulled my feline-leukemia-stricken cat (now close to six) from the brink of death. Had horrible, rapidly advancing relapse (I had asked Doc Provost to dc a tiny maintainence dose ... after five years Mars still fights taking pills) that took his critical oxygen-carrying components (hemoglobin, red blood cells) from normal to near-non-existent in the course of one weekend. Without additional charge, AND the automatic VETERAN'S discount of 10%, we were seen ASAP Monday and by Thursday the blood levels (and literally the life-force) of my best buddy had returned to within 10% of normal.



This is a fine hospital that gives me one more reason to be happy I left downtown for the Rita Ranch area.
