Santa Monica Pet Medical Center: Yuan Michael DVM

Sep 2022

I was really scared and cautious when I came in due to the recent reviews. But I had a pleasant and very normal experience. I had recently adopted a 7.5 year old dog and brought him in for a full exam. Dr Hernández was very pleasant and seemed to really care. She did recommend a few products which others could see as an upsell but I felt they were logical recommendations based on my dog's health concerns. I also thought the office staff in the front was just fine. This place is worth a try; don't be scared by the 1 star reviews.

Switching to this Vet was one of the best decisions we ever made! We switched to SMPMC when we moved to the Santa Monica area and couldn't be happier. It has been night and day in terms of our experience as compared to our last Vet experience. The Vets, Techs, Front Desk staff at Santa Monica Pet Medical Center are extremely kind, supportive and expert. When we have had time sensitive issues going on with our pup, the Vets would call us back in a timely manner and give us their thoughtful opinion. It has been easy to get through to the front desk for ANY question or issue we came across, and we have always received a call back quickly if we needed to pass a message along...read full review

Started bringing my 7 year old lab here after the local VCA never had any appointments available. The front desk is friendly and specifically, Dr. O'Donnell has been just wonderful. My dog has a history of cancer and had a recent scare and she has called to follow up and check on him more than any other general vet we've had. She answers all my questions and addresses my concerns and seems very knowledgeable. Often times she calls after 6 pm which shows me that she really cares and wants what is best for my fur baby. Very grateful for this - thank you Dr. O'Donnell!
