If you need a reliable , honest vet who will take good care of your pet go here! Read Less

WE LOVE RANCHO PARK VET!!! We have been so happy taking our goldendoodle there for the past 8 years. Dr. NIck and Dr. Marks are always available to answer any questions or concerns. The staff at the front desk is equally friendly and courteous.  Tucker loves knowing he is going to get a cookie or two at the end of his visit. We highly recommend Rancho Park Vet. Read Less

My family has been going here for over 30 years at this point. I have two dogs and two cats and had continued to come here year after year. Jennifer and Georgina at the front desk are great and always have a smile on their face. Jose the tech is also so cheerful! Dr. Marks and Dr. Nic are fabulous and will answer any and all questions and take the time to talk and see what's going on. Would highly recommend this vet. Read Less

Late afternoon January 17 my husband took our English Setter to RPVC as she had collapsed at home.  Dr Marks and Dr. Nic ran tests and found Emmee had a mass on her spleen which needed immediate surgery.  The amazing thing is that all his staff, including Kayla at the front desk, stayed to support my husband until Emmee had made it post-op.  We have been long-time (0ver 20 years) clients of RPVC so we expect great service; but this over-and-beyond effort by the vets and staff was very much appreciated!

Love the doctors and the staff at Rancho Park Veterinary Clinic!  They have been taking care of our pets for several years and I would definitely recommend them.  I can almost always get a same day appointment.  Their prices for their services and products are very reasonable.  And, there is usually parking available in the back of their building.

Our Frenchie recently had an enormous hernia, so we rushed him to our vet right away. Unsure of what it was, she suggested we schedule surgery for the next week when she was back in the office.Worried and unsatisfied with our vet's lack of concern, we visited Washington Dog & Cat Hospital on a whim. Dr. Barron took excellent care of us and called Dr. Marks at the Rancho Park location to schedule surgery for the next morning. Before even meeting our dog, Dr. Marks rearranged his schedule on a moment's notice to accommodate the surgery. When we arrived for our appointment, we were greeted warmly by the front desk staff. Dr. Marks was extremely thorough in examining our dog, Obi, and explained not only the procedure, but how they would care for Obi afterwards. Right away we were impressed with his bedside manner, his honesty, and his genuine care and concern for our baby. The surgery went off without a hitch, and we could not be more grateful that Obi will be ok - all thanks to Dr. Marks. The facilities here are super clean and well kept, and the staff could not be any more pleasant to deal with (especially Kayla at the front desk). We are so pleased with the care we received that we are switching to Dr. Marks to be our primary veterinarian. Thank you again Dr. Marks and staff! Read Less

I've taken my kitten here for a routine physical, a sick visit, and had a follow up call after having to take him to the ER (ER was different office), and another appointment for vaccines. The good: - Appointments and scheduling are super easy and flexible because of the business hours and the reception staff. - parking in back is easy, free. Huge plus in LA.- I appreciated the follow up call after taking the kitten to the ER (ER was different place).- I had two doctors here and they were both really nice and knowledgeable (but see below for our experience with the third doc).What didn't work for me:- We brought our kitten in because he was in pain and had some sort of infection. It looked like it was only in one eye. Dr. marks prescribed an eye steroid (in the form of drops) and an oral antibiotic.  I asked 2 questions: 1) do I put the drops in both eyes or just the one? 2) how do I administer the oral antibiotic - in his food, water..?  To the first question Dr. Marks scoffed and condescendingly said no only in the infected eye. To the second question he scoffed again and impatiently said to give it to the kitten directly in his mouth and that there'd be a dropper. I guess I got answers to my questions, but I was surprised to be treated like an idiot. I thought they were fair questions. Maybe I was wrong to ask? - I'm glad I asked those questions because when we got the meds at the pharmacy (front desk), the eye drop directions said to put it in both eyes. I was able to clarify on the spot. - the oral antibiotic was supposed to be refrigerated, but human error and we weren't told, and there wasn't a sticker on the box. They had premixed the antibiotic, so no need for me to read the mixing instructions in fine print which did say to refrigerate. That's ok... But yeah meds probably not very effective. Two days later, we had to take our little one to the ER. He was in a ton of pain and now both his eyes were infected. we repurchased the antibiotics from the ER, and $900 later (luckily we have pet insurance), that's when we found out it was supposed to be refrigerated. - in the follow up call we got (very nice of them to call after they found out our kitten had been in the ER over the weekend!), I kindly informed them about the medication errors. They eventually put Dr. M on the phone and he did apologize for not having a refrigeration sticker on the box (he said this was unusual - usually they put the sticker there), but when I also mentioned that the eye drops probably should have been shaken before administered he got impatient and essentially rushed me off the phone and hung up. Big takeaway here is that I feel uncomfortable with dr. Mark's bedside manner, but I've had great experiences with the other doctors in the practice. I think it's worth it to go back to the other docs. Not worth it for me though, having been humiliated a couple times. I am going to go down the street. Read Less

We had an amazing first visit for our kittens with Dr. Marks. The staff was very friendly, the faculties clean and pleasant, and the exam went smoothly. Dr. Marks has a great bedside manner and handled our kittens with expertise. We weren't upsold any unnecessary services and the costs were extremely reasonable. We will definitely be returning.

We've been going here for well over a decade and have had aged cats, emergency room experiences for our dogs and always amazing care along the way. We've even used the boarding when we're in a pinch. I personally prefer a house/dog sitter but not always easy to find. Friendly, attentive service and an always clean office and environment. We wouldn't trust our pets with anyone else. We love Dr.Marks but all the physicians are great. My schedule is hectic so I am fine to see the attending doctor when I'm available and I've never felt that my pets could be in better hands.

Excellent, friendly service at our neighborhood vet clinic! After seeing how great one of the doctors was with our kitten and then meeting the owner (also a vet, of course) at a local event to support the community, I wouldn't take our pets anywhere else! Read Less

I have lived in this area for about 25 years, and since he opened his veterinary clinic, Dr. Marks has maintained a glowing reputation for fine care and kindness. I myself am finally about to get a new puppy, and can't wait to go there and find out all I need to know, and book my first appointment. Thank you Dr. Marks and your wonderful staff! Read Less

We are so thankful to the staff and doctors at the Rancho Park Vet Clinic for taking great care of our Autism Service Dogs! Our dogs recently got into something they shouldn't have eaten and the staff made room for an emergency appointment minutes after. The puppies are doing super! Thank you!! Read Less

This is not your typical clinic, it is a full blown hospital. I was surprised the first time I was there how many procedures they can do in house. The staff are great and the vets are awesome! I love Dr. Marks. He's the nicest guy Read Less

Hmm, I'm not sure about all these other bad reviews but I've been taking my dog there for several years. Both doctors are very kind and compassionate and the staff is always nice too. I don't feel like they recommend unnecessary things -- I had my dog's teeth cleaned awhile back ago and I keep asking whether that needs to be done again and they've said that he doesn't need it again yet. They are very patient with my dog's vet-phobia, and the doctors will take the time to explain things to me, return phone calls, etc. Things do add up, but I can't say that anything they've done wasn't needed.

We've been going here for for about 5 - 6 years now. I have a 12 year old chihuahua and a 6 year old shihtzu. I must say, they are not inexpensive, but I've looked around and pretty much most of the clinics are charging about the same price. They do try to sell heartworm meds but really thats up to the owner to get it or not. The staff have always been great and have taken good care of our dogs. Read Less

I have known Dr Marks for almost 3 years, and I can honestly say that I have the highest regard for his work ethic, and eagerness to help his customers. His practice has been taking care of my dog since the day I picked him from the litter! The doctors have always been professional and upfront with me about the required and recommended care for my little guy. I have never had any problems, but I know that if there was a problem, he would make sure to handle it as quickly as possible. I believe his prices are fair, and while they are not necessarily the cheapest on the block, they are not the most expensive. You definitely "get what you pay for", and that is meant with the utmost respect. Read Less

I just moved here and was extremely anxious to find a new vet that was good and not expensive. First thing I noticed was how clean the office was. The front office staff is really nice and really showed an interest in my two sick chihuahuas. Dr Marks was so gentle with them and they hardly even reacted to his shot, which they would normally be royally freaking out. The prices werent super cheap but they were definately not over-priced either. My dogs got treated and were better within a few days just as Dr Marks said they would be. Such a relief to find a local vet! Read Less

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!! We are ever so appreciative of your kindness and expertise in all the steps leading up to the successful surgery that saved Honey's life. It's a wonderful feeling to have such competent, caring Doctors to cure this darling little pup and give her a normal life! Read Less

FEELS LIKE A REAL NEIGHBORHOOD VET!! I've been taking my dogs here for over 10 years, after having had various mediocre to horrible experiences with other vets around Los ANgeles, and Dr. Marks and his staff are the most consistently professional, caring, and accommodating group of vets I've found. I belive I've seen every vet who works there are one time or another, and there isn't a single one I wouldn't trust with the health of my dogs. The office staff are always laid back and friendsly as ewll. The best thing about Rancho Park is that, despide being smack dab in the middle of LA, it sometimes it feels like a real neighborhood vet, in tha they do'nt just treat your pet and rush you out the door for the next client. They answer your questions thoroughly and are always accessible on the phone as well.An added bonus? The place is clean, airy, and smalls nice, which, frankly, is not easy to come by. Read Less

I have been going to this place for a few years now, and have strayed a few times, but I always come back to Dr. Marks. I have outgrown my desire to find the cheapest vet in L.A. and lets face it how many times can you stare down a lobby full of pit bulls and dogs on a rope instead of a leash in order to save a few bucks? Dr. Marks office is clean and everything is in order. I bring my dog in, the doctor tells me what my options are and to be honest when it comes to my pet the more information and options the better. I make my choices according to what is best for me and for my dog. My money, my choice and I choose a clean, well run hospital with a great staff and a doctor I trust. Too bad they dont treat reptiles Read Less
