I have been coming here since 2000 when I had to find a vet open on a Sunday for my cat Jack. They were able to help him and fixed him right up. Since then we added 2 dogs to the family and LM Vet has been on my speed dial :-) Dr. Angelique Cucaro is the absolute best. My older dog, Angelus, loves her. He will get cranky with others trying to poke and prod but she has the magic touch. When Angelus needed knee surgery she recommended the surgeon and that worked out very well also. You need to call for an appointment ... read more

I love this place, they've been taking care of my pets for years. They have helped me through a number of veterinary emergencies over the years and are excellent at explaining the care they are providing. For those of us who are single our pets are like children, a good "doggy doctor" is an invaluable asset, you really can't go wrong with Dr. Amezcua, Dr. Strubel or Dr. Cucaro, my dog absolutely loves them. (Arguably this has a lot to do with the fact that they give him treats before and after any potentially unpleasant... read more

I brought my dog in for a lump that concerned me. I saw two different vets here, both decided it was nothing to worry about. I trusted their expertise--and that trust cost me. By the time I sought a second opinion elsewhere, it was too late. The lump was cancer, and it had progressed significantly in the months I was led to believe it was nothing. This clinic might be ok for a simple ear infection, but I would strongly caution anyone against trusting them with anything more serious. In my case, their misdiagnosis had devas... read more

HORRIBLE RUDE EMPLOYEES - OWNERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. After booking an appointment online for a new pet, I was called by Alexandra (?) at the clinic who proceeded to admonish ME for correctly following the prompts on their website and asking me to send paperwork for my pet to an external email even though I uploaded to site per the instructions. When I inquired and expressed frustration at having to register/book appointment online, after having been directed to by staff to my husband on a previous call, I was told I register... read more

Lab tests are highway robbery. Go somewhere else. Gigantic ripoff IMO. $488 for one battery of blood tests.

I'm sorry, but while I can somewhat understand the doing the waiting in the parking lot thing at the beginning of Covid, when everyone was freaking out. I can't understand why they're still doing it. It's moronic. The way a veterinarian visit is supposed to work is that you bring your pet in for an exam, you sit in the examination room with the vet or vet's assistant, and you go over your concerns with them. While the staff is friendly enough, I can't go here any longer due to this backwards policy.

I brought my puppy into Linda Mar Veterinary Hospital for a routine spay procedure which resulted in me not wanting to ever return there again. During that time, she was mistakenly nicked by a razor when grooming the dog. The nick needed surgical glue to repair. I understood it was a mistake but there was no apology, empathy, or responsibility taken. In fact the opposite happened. When I asked to make it right and make a possible deduction from the nearly $1,400 bill, they essentially double downed and said that they "could ... read more

This place currently has 4 stars. My impression is that there are many good reviews of the past. Management has changed for the worse. PLEASE READ THE LATEST REVIEWS. --------------------------------- I've gone to Linda Mar once ... and thats enough to prove that the current reviews are right: this place isn't a vet, they just administer vaccines. This is the only vet I know that refuses to send their prescription approval electronically. PetSmart called me that they approved the prescription but I have to go physically pi... read more
