I've been going to MBAH for 15 years.  The staff are so friendly and nice.  Dr Steinam is very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand what he is explaining.  He always has a smile on his face when he enters the exam room.  When I had to put my dog to sleep he explained what was happening and gave me a shoulder to cry on. When I arrived a couple years later with a new puppy he was so happy to see us.  The other day I wanted to know about some holistic meds and he called me back and said he researched what he could and gave me some info.  If he doesn't know the answer he will at least try and find an answer.

We had a great experience here! Our vet did the most thorough check-up on our cat that we have ever seen at a vet clinic. My cat has fluid sacs under her breasts and we thought that they may have been cancer. The doctor thoroughly checked her and reassured us that they are cysts that developed from a prescription of Oviban that we got at another pet clinic. The receptionist was so friendly and kind and you could tell that the customers were comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital! Read Less

I have a a 5 year old kitty Neva who I have been taking here since I moved to LA, 2 yrs ago ..... I couldn't be happier with Manhattan beach animal hospital! Here she gets amazing care with a vet that spends time to fully examine her no matter what we are coming with.  Great place! Read Less

Dr. Kagan is the best veterinarian I have ever met. She is very thorough. She obviously takes her job very serious. Unlike most Drs. I have brought my pets to in the past she actually cares. She takes the time to explain everything so that you can understand what needs to be done. She doesn't try to up sell you on treatments or unnecessary procedures. My dog was very sick and she diagnosed the problem right on the mark. She prescribed medication right away and my dog was back to good health within just a few short days. Truly a class act and very sincere. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else except to her. Read Less

They rather have my dog die than make there $$ for exam!! All they had to do is call my regular vet to find out the info they needed, instead of potentially saving my dog's life do to heart failure by giving her a simple shot, they'd rather her die unless they get paid first...Read Less

I have a one year old kitty who I have been taking here since I moved to LA, around when she was 6 months. She means the world to me, so I was very careful when choosing a vet. I couldn't be happier with Manhattan beach animal hospital! Here she gets amazing care with a vet that spends time to fully examine her no matter what we are coming in for- talk about good piece of mind that my baby is healthy. And then there are small things, like how the receptionist remembers me and my cat's name without having to look at our file and how she calls to remind me that it is time for vaccinations. They allowed me to stay with my baby girl the entire time throughout the exam, and even offered to give me a copy of the doctors notes in her chart if I wanted it.They just really go the extra mile. I also love that they focus on preventative health, not just fixing whatever is wrong - they truly care about the animals. I just absolutely love this place and my little Sansa does too- she is never nervous while we're there! I would give them 50 stars if I could - bring your pets here, you won't regret it. Yes, it is a little on the pricier side, but aren't your fur babies worth it? :) Read Less

We have been going to MBAH for about twenty years. No matter how busy they are, they always listen and understand. The vets are excellent diagnosticians and the staff is helpful and professional. If a client has a tight budget, they work with them. If a client is unsure of a decision, they are patient and thorough with the choices. For excellent, compassionate pet care, you cannot do better. Read Less

Love them here! They take great care of my dogs and have never pushed me to buy the science diet food or lied about a price quote (though anyone can tell you that a quote isn't a guaranteed price-things come up that may end up costing you more!) Dr. Steinem is a great guy and Dr. Kagan is so amazing with animals! I will always take my dogs to this vet clinic!!! Read Less

Dr. Steinam at MB Animal Hospital has been our Vet for over 30 years. He and his staff are so compassionate toward our senior golden retriever (15 yrs.) and Dr. Steinam's knowledge in the field is amazing. He pin points the problem and is always right on for her treatment. Dr. Steinam takes the time to relate to the animal and is always there to explain to us the home care we need for our golden. Thank you Dr. Steinam for always being there for us! The Walkers and Cali too Read Less

I've been a client of Dr. Moss at Redondo Beach Medical Center for years but when Dr. Moss left I lost confidence. As a volunteer with Boxer Rescue I was referred by an existing client and was very happy to meet Dr. Kagen.  She did a thorough exam and found a very mild heart murmur that had not been detected before.  I really appreciate the time Dr. Hagen spent with us and will come back. I really liked everyone I met today. Read Less

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, but VERY expensive. My dog has skin allergies and was told it would cost THOUSANDS of dollars. The doctor wouldn't give my dog any temporary type of relief. He would only treat him if I committed to a long and EXPENSIVE treatment program involving, shampoos, creams, medication, special food, etc. etc. I took my dog to a nearby vet and received the same diagnosis, but for a quarter of the price. It was $267 to be exact. I am convinced this animal hospital is in the business to make $$$$ as their first priority. Treating and caring for your pet is second priority. Read Less

We have been going to Dr. Steinam and Dr. Kagan and Kathy for going on 10yrs.  They are not only extremely knowledgeable but exceedingly fair in what they charge for their services.  We had two basset hounds who ended up having an extremely rare disease almost unheard of this country.  After seeing numerous specialists and spending thousands of dollars, Dr. Steinam was able to diagnose the problem.  When our Great Dane puppy had neurological issues, Dr. Kagan sent us to the best neurologist in Southern California who was able to surgically correct his problem. As someone who has had very mixed experienced with a lot of different veterinarians and as the husband of a pediatric plastic surgeon who is not easy to impress, I can't say enough about Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital, although it would be nice if at some point they got email.

Great service here! Always friendly, and my dog is always in a good mood after spending a day here. Price for day-boarding is reasonable and I've never had a problem. And the people at the front desk are awesome :) Read Less

If you are new to the area or unhappy with your current Vet, then I highly recommend you go to Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital.  We have been involved with Bulldog rescue for over 20 years and Dr. Steinam and his staff have consistently personified the best in veterinary care.  Their level of professionalism combined with show of compassion for each and every client is a reflection of why they are considered one of the best veterinary hospitals in the South Bay.  Kathy, their office manager makes certain that your pet is treated like the most important client.  They also carry a full line of dog and cat foods.  We have been very satisfied clients for close to 10 years and because we have always adopted special needs or senior dogs, we have relied on their expertise to help us understand the various stages of elder pet care needs.Some of the firemen and police officers who work here in Manhattan Beach also take their pets to Dr. Steinam for their care.  Bravo to the entire staff for outstanding service to the residents of the South Bay!

Very caring veterinarians, who are very gentle with one's pets and who patiently listen to one's concerns. Very pleasant, welcoming office manger too! And Francisco is a very good vet. technician! My vet.for the past 18 years! Read Less

Dr. Steinam has been our family's vet for around 20 years. He has correctly diagnosed illnesses that other vets couldn't figure out, and has saved the lives of our pets more than once over the years. He has a great bedside manner and is super gentle and caring with patients. The vet techs are great and Kathy and all the receptionists are professional and friendly. Read Less

I should have written a review years ago.  Dr. Steinam is the best vet and Kathy, front desk, is wonderful. I have been going there for 20 years and 2 dogs. They are so kind and caring and they check up on their patients. I can't comment on the other vets because I only go to Dr. Steinam. Read Less

I love love love this place! I have been bringing my pets here for 20 years now, and the kindness of compassion of everyone here - from the administrative staff to the vets to the techs and the kennel attendants - are compassionate and kind. Read Less

I have been going to this local vet for many years.  I absolutely LOVE the front staff.  They are courteous and it was so easy to walk my two Golden Retrievers to the vets office.   Mind you one of my Goldie's is older so he's on thyroid medication for life.    The other day my kids came home and one of my Goldie's has gotten into something and was bleeding from his mouth.  I was stuck in traffic from Santa Monica but I called and asked the vet to wait as I wasn't going to get there until 6 pm.   Great so far. My dog is like my child so I'm pretty attached to him   Anyway from what we could see perhaps my Goldie might have broken a molar and injured an artery. They have to do surgery to remove the molar and the estimate is going to be $1500.  Eek!!!! Ok go for it - this is my child after allThey call me and say they put him under and the molar is ok so no surgery.  Hey but while he's under would you like us to clean his teeth.  I think sure why not it will cost less than taking a molar out and I'm already thinking that was going to be $1500    The dog isn't coagulating so they have to give him vitamin k    Ok my husband goes to pick him up the next day and calls me and says the bill is $2500!!!!!!WHAT!  I spoke with the vet and they are willing to give me a $600 discount   How does pulling a molar (est $1500) cost less than a teeth cleaning!!!!   Oh the dog spit a bit of blood under surgery which was made into a big deal that he could possibly have gotten into his lungs. What?!  Sorry this is long .....  Bottom line is how does an estimate go from $1500 to $2500!!!  Ridiculous.  I will NOT going back.   Shame on them for treating such a loyal customer this way!!!

I have had great experiences here. I took my precious Westie to Dr. Behm and she was great. She answered all my questions and was very genuine. Also the staff at the front desk was extremely helpful. They called me back when they were supposed to and even worked directly with my old vet to get my dog's records faxed to them! No hassle for me! Plus they are open on Saturday which I LOVE! Great vet for a busy professional! Read Less

Take your pet some place else. These people are more interested in charging you than your pet's well being. They push you (extremely so) to buy their highly marked up products. They push you (extremely so) to buy their Science Diet products - especially the prescription diet. If you deny, they throw a guilt trip on you intending to make you feel like you are the worst pet owner. There is a conflict of interest in them profiting from selling Science Diet product that way. (prices are higher than pet store prices).They gave unneeded vaccinations, even though I had handed them proof of getting vaccines a few days earlier. Reason -  they did not see the papers. STAY AWAY! Read Less

I had a really bad experience here, Dr. Wang and her staff are awful.  They were very condescending and rude.  Not to mention they seem very incompetent in comparison to the vet I now use.  I've been using my current vet in El Segundo for a year and half, the staff there is a complete 180 difference to Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital, it's really like a breath of fresh air.  I felt taken advantage of by Dr. Wang and her staff, when they tried to sell me on all sorts of expensive testing and shots that my dog did not need.  My dog is thriving now under different veterinarian care, no expensive treatments needed, just better advise.  I'm so glad I found Dr. Streiber and Stacey at El Segundo Animal Hospital.  Ammmmazing difference in treatment of both me and my dog.  A little respect goes a long ways.  Dr. Wang and her staff are shady. If you want to waste a lot of money and feel hopeless about your dog's chronic ear infections or allergies, this is the place to go. Read Less

I took my 1 yr old yorkie here (09/10/12) after she jumped out of my bike basket and got her hind legs stuck in the front wheel. Yes, it was an awful experience and my poor little Mila had blood in her urine shortly after the incident. I called them as soon as I saw the blood and was seen the same day within a couple hours. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I loved that the animals and their owners seem to be frequent patients. Dr. Steinam was excellent and did a thorough exam. I had a feeling I was going to walk out of here with a large bill thinking she'd probably need x-rays/blood work/urinalysis. I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Steinam recommended low-cost household items to tend to her wounds rather than have me spend money on doggy meds. He didn't try to sell me on any extras. He explained everything thoroughly and was very comforting. I walked out of there feeling so relieved! Today I received a welcoming postcard and had a follow-up voicemail advising me to call if I still have any concerns. I LOVE excellent customer service!  I am happy to report that the blood went away and Mila is back to her mischievous little self : )  Everything happens for a reason and I had been looking for a vet. Mila has a new vet now :D Read Less

There are 3 Vets at this office (I believe), and I've seen all of them.  All 3 seem caring and compassionate with the animals, and they handle them gently.  However, one of them told me my dog is overweight, and anther said he wasn't.  Then when he got really sick and became extremely lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink, I took him in, but the Vet (I believe it was Dr. Wang), didn't have a clue what was wrong with him.  We asked if he could be constipated since he also wasn't going to the bathroom.  She ssid she didn't think so, but she gave us a laxative anyways and said we could do an x-ray if we wanted, but she didn't think it would show anything.  We left with a $60 bill for the exam and a laxative, and NO answers! We had no clue what was wrong with our dog, and he hadn't eaten or drinken in 3 days!So we ended up taking him to our old Vet in PV (Dr. Peggy Herrera).  She did a THOROUGH inspection and found that our dog wouldn't even open his mouth because he had a huge lump on his neck that was causing him pain! The other Vet completely missed the lump! She didn't even do a thorough exam and open his mouth, yet she charged us $60! Dr. Herrera gave him antibiotics & fluids, she took a biopsy, and she told us to force-feed him chicken baby food & chicken broth.  Thank God for Dr. Herrera's thoroughness, or our dog could have died because Dr. Wang at this Animal Hospital didn't do her job! I will never go back here and hope other people don't risk their animal's lives by going here! Read Less
