Reviews By Our Satisfied Clients
"Best Staff and Best Service. Very warm place with the best options for your furry friends."
Joanna P.
"Friendly and efficient office staff. A staff that truly reflects the cultural diversity that is Los Angeles. Great care for our pets. My family and my sister's family believe in this vet. When you can get great care for your pets and be treated with mutual respect, it's a wonderful thing. In our experience with vets on the West Side of Los Angeles, we've never had vets who treated our pets with such loving care, took time to ask us questions, and followed up with us."

"Everything at Culver Palms went so smoothly. Our Pekingese puppy, Mushu had an excellent first visit with Dr. Bergstrom and Tracey! Another vet told me that Mushu would need an expensive hernia surgery, but Dr. B assured me that he was just fine with his belly button the way it is. I really respect and admire the honesty and ethical practices I experienced on this first visit. The vet technician, Tracey is amazing and just bursting with love for all the pets that come through the doors.
All of the logistics were easy too: parking, check-in, and check-out. Thank you to the team at the front desk!"

"I adopted a dog that had never seen a vet office before. The staff at Culver Palms was amazing with my super skittish little one.
She got spayed and a dental scaling and I couldn't be happier with their work. She is very skittish but the staff were super sweet with her.
I highly recommend it!"

"After realizing how fast my grandpa's dog's nails grow, I started bringing her here to get them trimmed regularly. I usually take her elsewhere based on pricing and her usual vet is miles away, but Culver Palms is walking distance from my grandpa's house, making it a more convenient option.

"I brought my akita in to be spayed and the doctor did an excellent job and they were very polite and extremely reasonable especially compared to other vets. I would recommend these folks to anyone that really cares for their animal"
