Dr. Sig is the absolute BEST. He is not worried about long conversations but he does worry about your pet. He has treated many of my pets over the years and helped my baby chicks, goat, rabbit, dogs, cats, etc. He is a compassionate doctor who is dedicated to the welfare of your animals. I cannot imagine having to go anywhere else. Read Less

The vet seems to be someone who truly loves his job. This is the kind of person i would take my dog to see. She needed a tumor removed and the price was very reasonable and inexpensive. He talks to us with a smile, always, and asks how our little friend is doing. Read Less

I found LLAH by mistake, but I'm glad I did. I had recieved a previous est. of $1,000 to $1,200 to have my senior cats teeth cleaned. Dr. Sig and his staff gave me a much lower est. He did blood work and called me himself to talk about the results, I was impressed. My cat has an infection so I got antibiotics and after a week he can have his teeth cleaned. He even joked with me about my cats weight, lol, hes a big boy! I'm very happy. The only downfall is its no appts. so be prepared to wait. Read Less

The staff works pretty hard for your pet. The doctor does not try to sell you unnecessary stuff. He's honest and straightforward. Some people may not like his straightforward attitude but I do. He'll provide care for your animal. I believe the price is reasonable. Sometimes the lobby gets crowded but there is plenty of sitting outside and they will call you outside when it's time. For spays and neuters the pet has to be in before 8 a.m. so that can be pretty hard if you have a schedule that doesn't fit that. Overall I recommend Loma Linda animal hospital for services for your pets. Read Less

Excellent service. They all know buddy (our Chihuahua). He boards and receives medical attention there. He always receives a warm welcoming. The place has a long waiting list. They are always busy with furry clients that know about getting great service. Read Less

Had my female dog fixed here and they took great care of her. The staff was very helpful and despite the packed parking lot and waiting area they moved around flawlessly helping animals & their owners like personal friends. Very pleasant experience for my canine and I. Read Less

I have been going to Loma Linda animal hospital for the past 10 years Dr. SIG is incredible he really knows his stuff. The office is not fancy but the prices are reasonable and there is genuine caring there. No big overhead for a fancy office in order to keep prices down and I appreciate that! Staff is very caring. Several years ago when I had to put my beloved dog down Dr. Sig gave me all the time I needed to weigh options. Then after I had to put my dog down, I couldn't stop crying, and a staff member came out to the car and just hugged me and stayed with me for a long time afterwards; I will never forget that. Read Less

The vet is top-notch. Trustworthy, friendly. Great staff. The office is a little "ghetto", and it's first come first serve - no appointments, so you have to be willing to wait an hour or two. But if you go first thing in the morning or right after lunch, you usually get seen pretty quickly. Read Less

My dog is DEAD because I went to Dr Sig for treatment. He prescribed her Azathioprine and then didn't do blood tests to find out if bone marrow suppression was occurring. Finally when he did a blood test that showed it was happening he didn't say a word and didn't pull her off the medication. We went to a specialist because she was getting sicker, The specialist pointed out immediately what was going on with the bone marrow. Her bone marrow never recovered and she died. He never recommended we even go to a specialist, he tried to treat her himself and by the time she went to the specialist she had pancreatitis, liver toxicity and bone marrow suppression. If I had known not to trust him I would not have gone to him and I didn't have a clue to look up anything about the drug. Anyone can look it up under pet pharmacies, veterinary continuing education sites, pet sites, general information sites and see it being recommended to monitor for bone marrow toxicity and weekly tests to see if it is happening. The drug is not even recommended by some specialists until the dog is stable because it has such severe adverse effects. Read Less

We have used this vet for years.He is excellent.Your dog was limping badlyOther vets could not find the problemThe vet was able to determine the problem was a pinched nerve in the dogs neck.The alternative with other vets was exploratory surgery.The solution offered was excellent.He is busy and older but as a vet has no egual Read Less

My cousins' have a non profit dog rescue and have been taking their rescue dogs here for years! Every staff member is so helpful and will take every rescue dog, and they NEVER over charge. The staff here are friendly, reliable, and love your pets as if they were their own. Love the LL animal hospital! Read Less

My dog had parvo, I told doctor I only had 80 dollars. He said he won't start treatment till I had full amount. I left my dog at hospital to try and get more money. I couldn't get money till next day when I get my paycheck. I called LLAH at closing time to tell them I will bring full amount needed to start treatment and if they can start treatment now they said ok. When I went next day to pay, I was told my dog won't make it and to let me see him to say good bye. I know treatment wasn't started my dog had no shaved hair from his legs or anywhere on his body. He let my dog stay overnight untreated because my 80 dollars an my failure to get more money that day. Shame on me I couldn't get more money that day, triple shame Dr. Profit for judging anyone's ability to pay. I guess he is tired of people ripping him off. The Old fart tried to bill me. I'm glad I ripped him off, but I'm mad he is guilty of dogslaughter in the first degree Read Less

The Loma Linda Animal hospital is a fantastic place to bring your pet if they're in need of medical care. The staff and doctor are so nice and want the best for your pet. They always give several options so you can make an educated decision on caring for your pet. It can get busy so you might want to make an appointment but typically once checked in there's not too much of a wait.Read Less

Dr. Sig and all his staff are very attentive to all of your pets needs. Very friendly, and very good service. After having to put my" Kiki " to sleep, because he had cancer, Dr Sig sent me a letter of condolences. How thoughtful was that. Thanks again to Dr. Sigh and all his staff.Read Less

I have been taking my Airedales to Dr. Sigdestad at Loma Linda Animal Hospital since we moved to Redlands, CA in 2006. In my experience, I have found him to be very warm, knowledgeable, and professional. Note that the hospital is a walk-in, no appointment facility and is ordinarily quite busy. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. Dr. Sig is there virtually 7 days a week and is the only doctor at the hospital. Needless to say, he has a lot going on at any given moment. IMO the staff is very efficient for as hectic as the environment tends to be. I love them. Read Less

I've been taking my animals to Dr. SIG for about 15 years and I think he's the best vet around. He and his staff is VERY caring and consoling. I had to put my beloved Ginger down in 2011 the staff was comforting during this process. I don't have to go as much with my cat but I still see familiar faces. Great work Dr. SIG and staff! Read Less

I've taken my two dogs to get spayed and had their dental cleaning done and I liked the work they did, but the reason I give them a 3 star is because they have really unorganized and uninformed staff. Don't even bother calling if it's an emergency just don't waste your time. They won't pick up your calls or not answer any questions you have. It's a walk in hospital no need for appointment. I have a personal doctor I take them to for shots and check ups because this Hospital is not good for when your dog is sick , it's too much of a long wait and my dog can't wait to be treated after what feels like 2 hours . I still strongly agree they need to train their staff better. Half the time they bring out the wrong dog back on the owner and it's the best at its maintenance. I know it's an animal hospital but ithe should still be cleanice and sterile. Read Less

We have always had great service at very reasonable price. For instance, for neuter our dog, another vet in Riverside wanted to charge literally ten times what LLAH charged us. We like the doctor and the staff.Read Less

First off let me start off by stating that I am a nurse. I may not be a doctor or vet, but I do have medical experience, knowledge, and education.That being said, 2 of my dogs had a skin infection. I took them to the humane society and was given cephalexin (standard antibiotic).  This cleared up the skin infection in both dogs, however in one dog it came back. So I took the dog that the infection came back to, to the loma linda animal hospital and explained the situation. The vet tried to pull one over on me and tell me my dog might have cancer and wanted to run all sorts of expensive tests. I explained that it was a nurse and it was a skin infection, both dogs had it, cephalexin was given, and it resolved the issue, thus proving it was a skin infection and not cancer, as the antibiotics were effective in killing the bacteria in the skin. and if it worked for 1 dog, it should work for both. (the dog it came back on is a bit larger and probably needed a higher or longer dose). So we got into a debate over the cancer vs skin infection, he pretty much got caught trying to pull one over on me. I left, took my dog to Dr Butchko's, my dog was prescribed ciprofloxacin and the infection cleared up. To make a long story short, the bacteria had built up a resistance to the cephalexin which is common as it is a very standard abx. So a alternative abx was needed, cipro. the humane society tried to tell me my dog had ringworm....smhthe only place i go is either dr butchkos for standard stuff, or back bay veterinarian in OC for major stuff. have gotten 3 surgeries there and they seem to be the only places that are a vet first and a business second.

I am beyond..beyond outraged with this vet. I understand that they are high volume because they do low cost contracted work with the local shelters but what happened my dog is unthinkable!!! I adopted an 8 month old female mix from Devore shelter. By law all dogs are required to be spayed or neutered before they can be taken home. Our girl was sent to LLAH from the shelter for the procedure. I was to pick her up from the shelter. The morning of the surgery the vet called to ask me if I wanted my puppy to be given pain relief?!?! It's unthinkable to think that this is even optional! Of course, I want her to have pain relief so it was extra. Fine..I can live with paying  the extra few bucks so she won't suffer and also for antibiotics so she doesn't get a post op infection. That's all good until 6 months later she starts bleeding from her vulva! Took her to my personal vet, with her spay cert. Who determined she was in heat! They ran a $350 hormone test and concluded that if she had been spayed the only explanation was that a remnant of an ovary had been left inside which was just enough to cause the heat cycle.  My vet explained that when the ovaries are removed the fallopian tubes retract a bit making the surgery to find it a little more challenging than just a standard spay..with the estimate for surgery...$585-880. This is not an amount that I can just whip out my check book for and since I didn't trust LLAH to redo the surgery and we live out of the area I saved up and made arrangements to have it performed by a vet that a trust. I took her in for the procedure and got a call from my vet saying that SHE WAS NEVER SPAYED!!! SHE WAS FULLY INTACT DESPITE HAVING AN INCISION ON HER ABDOMEN AND A SPAY CERTIFICATE!!!!! What kind of racket are they running? This place is a chop shop!! The county of SB should be ashamed for sending animals here. Read Less

The old man doctor is rude. When you talk to him you can tell he was not listening. Doesn't smile. I asked him a question in the end he said okay buy and tried to walk out. I demanded his attention and asked again. I don't want to go back. Such a cold place. No one gives good customer service. Pretty much when I walked in I was standing there waiting for someone to give me directions what to fill out our even greet me but the lady front desk people noticed me a couple times looking at me but just kept talking and laughing. Don't be timid if you go there. Be direct. Cause people walk all over you. I started asking questions to the nurse in the doctor room like what is this how much is that cause they just start treatment without asking or saying how much each thing is going to be and she rolled her eyes. I gave two stars because the doctor basically told me what I needed to know. Dog may die and it's 450 dollars to try to save life. Cold but honest I guess Read Less

Such a great vet and office! We have been taking dogs here since I was a kid. About 12 years ago my family dog (shepherd mix) had a cancerous tumor removed here and we were very pleased. The prices here are very reasonable too! Just recently my dog (King Charles cavalier / cocker spaniel) was bitten by something on his tail while in our backyard. This was on a Sunday. By Tuesday it was 1,000x worse and swollen to the size of his hind legs. We brought him here. Turns out they needed to amputate his tail or else it was a 50/50 chance of healing properly. Well, we just picked him up and our boy is doing great! So glad we brought him all the way out here. I can't recommend this vet enough! He knows what he's doing!! Also, the cost was very reasonable and didn't break the bank. Read Less

Went to pick up meds for pooch. People were super helpful and nice even though it looked like there was no room, very busy place, which may indicate their success. Definitely recommend, first class service! Read Less

I help with rescues when possible. An adorable little chihuahua came untreated from Devore (a high kill shelter) to Loma Linda for spay and rabies and her infection on her back was still untreated and not reported to the rescue picking her up!! The only thing they said was " watch out! She is MEAN!"!!!! Darn wouldn't you be mean with no pain meds and an untreated nasty infection like that!!! She was at Devore for 10 days and Loma Linda for two days. I personally consider this abuse. What kind of animal hospital doesn't address a sick animal??? 4/20/2016 The cutest little dog was rescued fr a shelter & sent to Loma for neutering. The transporter came to pick him up & was told he was dead! No cal, no nothing. He apparently bled to death. do you really want to use this place?? Read Less

When our dog had become ill and was in pain due to a hernia and infection in her uterus we took her to a few places, none of which were all that friendly or compassionate and seemed incompetent to tell you the truth. One of them basically told us our dog would die regardless of the surgery she needed. The minute we were seen at Loma Linda Animal Hospital we were relieved and filled with hope our tiny stray dog we rescued and made a part of our family would live. The nurses were kind and reassuring about how good the doctor was. Our doctor looked at our dog, told us what had to be done and never seemed to give up on her making it, which was a huge boost to me as I had been up practically two days straight at that point trying to save this dog's life. If you love your pets then you can understand how much it sucks to watch them in pain and be told they were basically going to die, but at LLAH our nurses and vet had so much confidence and kindness it rubbed off on us and we left in good spirits finally relieved our pet would be treated well. They even gave us a great deal on her bill. Highly recommended and will be going back for all of my dogs in the future. Read Less

My family has been going to Dr. Sig for more than 40 years. He loves animals and will go above and beyond to save your pet. 2 years ago we got a new little golden retriever puppy who was very sick. He was under weight, and dehydrated. We nearly lost him twice. Dr. Sig literally took him home with him to keep an eye on him overnight. When it was time to put our senior dog to sleep, we asked Dr. Sig if he would come to our home to do it so the whole family could say goodbye, and he did! If you think his prices are to high then go to the vet on arrowhead in SB where the shelter sends you. You may pay less but the service and the over sell of unnecessary treatment will be shocking. Gotta go, on my way back to see Sig with my kitten... Read Less

I love this place. When we moved here we checked out half a dozen different vets. This one was not only the most friendly, but by FAR the least expensive. We drive 35 minutes to get here. It's that good. Read Less

Dr. Sigstead and his staff have cared for my loved ones for many years. I go there because I trust the staff and I feel that all is done that can be done in each of my visits. Some of my pets are ten plus years and he cares for each wtih personal attention and obvious care Prices are competative. There is often a long wait; his waiting room always has someone waiting/he is always busy A good vet!!!!! Read Less

Dr Zig is a wonderful vet. He has helped to keep my 15 yr old dachshund recover from an illness that we thought we almost lost him. He is caring & compassionate. His office visits are affordable. This business doesn't nickle & dime their clients. I have met other clients who have been taking their pets here for over 30 years The staff is professional & caring. Read Less

Really excellent hospital in most respects. Very caring staff, and Dr. Sig is great. Two important things: You don't have to make any appointments, they just have office hours and it's first come, first serve unless an animal is in crisis. That actually works very well for our family, but can result in 30+ minute wait times. The other is that they give you many options for your budget. For example, a spay or neuter surgery can be just the surgery, or with pain meds before and/or to take home, or with IV fluids, etc. We have never had a bad result with any of our pets here, and have been taking them here for about 8 years. He will even treat birds, rabbits, and other animals. Read Less
