When one of our cats got sick the day before we had to go out of town, Dr. Yoo and his staff were there to make sure he got the best of care until we could return. Knowing that we were calling from out of the country, the vet would take our call immediately to give us an update on our cat's condition. The care and concern shown to us was a great relief as we couldn't be there.
Our dog had a seizure and we brought her here to be seen and the bill came up to 1400$. they double charged us on three separate items and when we brought it to their attention they did not care and only begrudgingly removed the charges. They lied to us about our animal and told us she was in severe pain when three different vets have subsequently told us that in such an instance she would not have been in pain and on top of all that they took extra xrays that were unnecessary and then refused multiple times to send her paperwork to our new vet. If you love your animal, or if god forbid you have an emergency, stay as far away from here as possible. As an aside, we had a similar seizure emergency about 6 months later and that bill [from a very well known vet in manhattan beach] was 470$. Also, there is a very distinct language barrier, and we had to have someone come into the room to explain what our vet was telling us.
Problem: My indoor-only cat had soft stool Cost: over $1000 in just two days Result: My cat's stool is firmer, and cat is doing fine. Many tests were done (barium, 2 sets of x-rays, blood and organ checks, laxatone, muscle spasm medication which we never gave our cat) All of the tests came out normal and the vet still does not know why the cat had loose stool. Dr. Yoo also wanted to do an ultrasound (another $350), but we denied it. Looking back, I highly doubt that all of these procedures were necessary. The prices here are high and they never consider giving discounts to long time customers. Recently, without permission, the technician (under the vet's orders) vaccinated my cat only two months after she had already been vaccinated. This can cause an onset of sarcoma (cancer) in cats. We had Dr. Yoo check our cat for Giardia. The results according to him consistently showed our cat as positive. He was ready to prescribe Giardia medication but I was hesitant and suspicious seeing that this was the 4th time our indoor cat came up positive after being vaccinated by him. Dr. Yoo was pushy in administering Giardia treatment, but we rejected it. We had our cat checked by a reputable vet clinic in the South Bay who found that our cat was NEGATIVE and that there were no traces of Giardia cysts contrary to what Dr. Yoo was pushing for.
Do NOT!, I mean DO NOT! NOT! take your loving pat to this irrational place. They charge you rediculous amout for something they can't even diagnose. Even worse, they want to take days to exam so they can charge you each day for over $500. I am SOOOOO upset and I wish I could complain somewhere. Look for a better caring vet.
I took my dog there to have his eye checked a little while ago and the staff took great care to make sure that he was comfortable and well cared for. When I called a week later with a question, dr. yoo was not in but they took the time to call his cell and have him call me back. Saved me from having to worry the whole weekend. Thanks Crenshaw!!
