La Palma Veterinary Hospital

06/11/2008 Posted by Issykitty

From the moment I walked in and brought an injured 6-week-old stray kitten (attacked by a vicious raccoon), Cynthia, the wonderful and kind receptionist put me at ease and made me know that I came to the right place. Dr. Castillo stayed up until the latest of late hours performing some complicated, life-saving surgery for Frankie, the fighting spirit. This is just the best Vet Hospital I have ever known, and I trust them completely with the health and well-being of all of my furry family members. I cannot say enough good things about them. :' ) We've now adopted Frankie, and I am ever so grateful to them for helping save my baby's life and turning our trauma into a happy ending!

I take my dogs to Dr. Castillo. He just did surgery on my Samoyed's leg and BEAR is recuperating well. Luckily I was able to take advantage of the Pet Credit that was offered. Dr. Castillo is always willing to answer my questions and concerns about my animals. I know he has helped in the effort to spay and neuter cats and dogs in the county. Cynthia is exceptional at the front desk when you bring your animal in or call on the phone. I highly recommend La Palma Vet Hospital for your animals.

Pros: compassionate and skilled staff. Easy to find and park and readily available. Clean.

We had rescued our sweet Barney in mid Jan08 & he slowly started declining from the day we got him. I didn't like the 1st vet that treated him - not very thorough. I found La Palma Vetinerary Hospital from a referral on Craig's list. So glad people post their reviews because that's what steered me to Dr. Castillo (La Palma Vet Hosp). He listened to all my concerns, worries and symptoms for Barney. I asked him to test him for ticks - not likely - but because his symptoms fit and his background was unknown it was worth a try. BINGO! Barney tested postive for Canine Ehrlichiosis - a brown dog tick disease. Mostly found in the south (Florida etc) but also found in kennels. Barney had lived in a kennel for about 1mo b4 we adopted him! May not be how he got it, but whatever, Dr. Castillo took such good care of Barney that he's now a dog with personality! We thought he was just a very mellow dog, but it turns out he was dying! Cynthia, the receptionist is always helpful and encouraging. I am sooooo glad my dogs have Dr. Castillo to take care of them when needed....I highly recommend this office!

Pros: Hours are great - someone always seems to be there!

Cons: a bit far from my home, but that's not their fault...

I will highly recommend Dr. Castillo and his staff to anyone who is looking for a doctor who really cares. Dr. Castillo has been the doctor for my 2 1/2 lb maltese Monchichi and him along with his staff have giving my dog lots of love and really really care for it. Cynthia who takes care of the front desk is the nicest and more caring person I have ever met, I can tell she really loves all animals and if she could she would rescue and give any animal a home with lots of love. They always always follow up and when I go in the office even without having an appointment, they take care of my dog promptly. On top of all the care they provide to my dog which is priceless their prices are very affordable. Monchichi had knee surgery on July 23,07 and after the sugery the Dr. Castillo called me and said that Monchichi was ready to go home and he said that if it was too late for me to pick him up that he would take him to his house and care for him, I have never ran into a doctor that has made that kind of offer. I've had dogs all my life and have been to other hospitals and i've seen doctors who are not honest and make you wait for a long time before your pet gets treatment. Wether you are 5minutes away from La Palma Veterinary Hospital or a couple of hours, I would recommend you start taking your pet to Dr. Castillo because it's well worth it.

I knew Dr Castillo back in Long Beach, and I was excited to hear he was moving to Anaheim! Not only was it easier to get to, but the location is great and easy to find. When my kids need vaccinations I wait until a Saturday when Dr Castillo offers low cost shots. The hospital is clean and his staff are friendly and knowledgable. Having 2 senior yorkies can be expensive so I'm glad that Dr Castillo offers "care credit"- a monthly payment plan interest free, to accomodate my financial situations. If you're a bargain hunter like me- this is the place the be!

I lost Max a week ago due to Parvo and then Bella got sick, My neighbor told me about Dr Castillo.Dr Castillo took care of my Bella and very reasonable price. If it is not for him I will not have my only dog, thank you Dr Castillo. I will recommend him to my friends, neighbors and relatives. He is awesome in personality and services, he really cares for my dog. I can see his extra mile of services that he gave Bella. More power to you Dr Castillo.

Pros: Excellent service and reasonable prices, very nice people
