"I had a great experience when I went to see Dr. Jordan and staff. I recently got a sick kitty from the animal shelter and he really took good care of her. Things that are important to me in finding a vet: 1. competent doctor 2. friendly staff 3. ease of getting an appointment."

I sincerly don't know what could have possibly happened to have those other reviewers post the things they did. Dr. Jordon is amazing. I have 2 cats, one almost 20 and the other 14 and I know that the reason they are so healthy is because of his care. When I first came to the office there were 2 older ladies in the lobby that said to me "whatever is wrong with your kitty Dr. Jordan can fix it!" and I though "how cute, he has groupies". It turns out that one of those ladies had to be in a convalescent home for 2 months and she kenneled her dog with Melrose La Brea during that time. . Dr. Jordan personally brought her dog to see her at the home once a week until she got better! She told me he saved her and her dog! As for me personally, I have recieved excellent, loving care from everyone there but, especially Dr. Jordan. There have even been times were I was struggling financially and the doctor found every way possible that he could help me. I never have been to any other vet that cared more about the actual animals and not just the bottom line. He is not one of these polished "hollywood" vets. He's very old school and I think some folks react to that. His office and style are not flashy but, he brought my cats back from the brink more than once and has kept them healthy and I will never see another vet. I guess now I am a groupie too! I mean this sincerely. If you want an old fashioned, neighborhood vet who loves animals this is your guy.

Excellent doctor who is certified in many states. He is a fountain of information and extremely helpful! Definitely recommended.

You have always treated my pets with 5 star care and afforded me easy payment installments which I have truly appreciated.

I called Melrose La Brea Animal Hospital after moving from the San Fernando Valley to Los Angeles because I was looking for a new vet for my 2 cats. The person who answered the phone was not nice at all. When I asked how much a general check up was, he immediately asked me what was wrong with my cat. Nothing was wrong with my cat, and I am just looking for a new vet. I then asked him how much an annual indoor cat vaccine would cost, and he said that he couldn't tell me. It would depend on the exam, he said. The in-house exam would show what vaccines my cats would need. That was the first time I heard that before. He asked me how much I paid for my annual vaccines and when I told him, he said I must have gone to a pet shop to get it done because no vet could beat those prices. I was totally shocked to hear that because I only take my cats to the animal hospitals or veterinarians for their annual check ups and annual vaccines. He also said that the annual vaccines that I got for my cats weren't all that they needed. He said that they would need much more than that to be healthy, implying that my previous vet didn't know what he was doing. I was so turned off by the phone call, that I immediately crossed them off my list of potential vets to go while we live in Los Angeles.
