    Fortunate to have this vet urgent care in Santa Monica. I was able to walk in Sunday morning when my dog had an ear infection. The staff & vet Dr. Hinchey were kind and caring. Medical treatment was comprehensive and reasonable priced (for the area). I really felt good leaving, knowing that my dog was well taken care of, treatment plan in place with a follow up scheduled.
    I’ve been here a few times for urgent care over the years, as well as some other ER vets in the area, Dr. Hinchey is a gem!

    I can’t say enough good things about Santa Monica Veterinary Group and Dr. Khalaf. They were absolutely amazing. You can truly feel how much they care—not just about the customer, but even more about the puppy. From the moment I arrived, everyone was so kind, compassionate, and supportive, helping me through such a sad and difficult process. Their empathy and professionalism made a heartbreaking situation a little easier, and I’m deeply grateful for the care we received.

    Thanks to the entire staff, Liya Kelly and Jorge you guys are great!

    We’ve been coming here with our pup for 5 years. Our dog loves coming here to much she cries if they don’t take her to the back right away. She can’t wait to see her favorite people. Dr Berg is amazing. He’s so knowledgeable and you can tell he truly cares about your pet; that man is doing the job he’s meant to be doing. Dani the practice manager is also one of a kind, and their tech team is incredible (Stephanie is our babies favorite).

    We’ve had emergency visits, surgeries, and check ups here. They’ve stayed open late for me when I rushed a friend in for a very unexpected end of life appointment and made us feel so cared for and showed us so much...read full review
