Very friendly nurse but I do not recommend this place to anyone. We were told it was $150 to see the doctor and we left paying $603 with no diagnosis and no solutions. They play on your heartstrings while they request permission to perform services without disclosing the cost of those services. At the end you get a huge bill with no answers and only more suggestions to spend your money. Read Less

This place is absolutely amazing. Dr. Lam is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and sincere. Our dog had to have an unexpected 2nd TPLO surgery a few weeks after moving here, and we were worried because we didn't really know the area/any specialists. We were referred to this clinic and they welcomed us like family. They're good at what they do and they are very accommodating. Lea is also a gem. She's always there when I go in, and she goes out of her way to say hi and make sure our dog feels comfortable. He can be a little shy. :-) My husband and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of special care for their pet. Read Less

Our English Cocker Spaniel had a large growth removed from her liver last year. The specialty staff here kept us informed every step of the way, the surgery saved Penny's life, and the follow up care has kept our senior dog happy and active.

A great place to have your pet taken cared of. From the receptionist to the Techs, and most especially to Dr. White and Dr. Lam, our heartfelt gratitude for their outstanding work with Kobe. We were expecting the worst, but when we came to pick him up, Kobe looked more energetic and happy day after his surgery. Just took his bandages out and his incision and sutures were very clean and beautiful. We are very happy and delighted to have met these very professional, skilled and caring Veterinarians. Read Less

Today is February 25...i took my pet there on Friday February 23 2018. Today my pet is worst than Friday after paying a little over 1000.00 I called them this morning to tell them my pet is worst...lathargic and salavia coming out of his mouth. They tell me well we don't have any open appointments so you would have to pay for emergency visit and probably my pet needs an ultra sound.

Positive: 24/7; friendly; coffee, tea and water available Negatives: They only care about money. My animal was sick from not eating. $800, two useless tests and some useless advice later he's still sick and the only they could do is tell me to come back tomorrow if he's not feeling better for some more tests. I brought up the trembling my animal had and the vet wasn't concerned nor offered to run additional tests. Gotta get that $$$ for tomorrow I suppose. Btw there's an emergency fee of $100+ for no appointment. Stay away from Dr. Curtis Martin by far the worst vet I've seen in the island. Additionally, Their records management needs work. They called me while my animal is sick, about someone else's animal with no update on the results of my pets labs. Recommend the clinic in Waipahu or Honolulu for emergency services Read Less

My dogs throat was torn open and I was crying. We had zero money and it was 161 dollars just to be seen?! We were willing to pay but we had no money and we needed to be seen. We were hoping for a payment plan but they didn't offer any. We left with my dog still injured becuase they wouldn't see us without money. I understand you people have to make your money but turning away us becuase we had none at the moment is criminal. Read Less

Absolutely the best possible experience for our dog. Our 50 lb lab mix required emergency surgery at 3am. The surgery happened almost instantaneously, and from that moment on they cared for her as if she were their own. She is an anxious dog so they allowed us to visit often and they used calming scents and cared gently for her. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and knowledgable. Even though we are moving an hour away to the other side of the island, we will be making the drive back to this hospital for everything our dog needs Read Less

Dr. Ho and our vet tech were very nice and knowledgeable with my two cats. We went in for a routine annual exam. It was our first visit with VCA and I was happy to use the first time free exam coupon. However, it took 45 min to check out. Rediculous. I made a comment that the wait was worth not coming back in the future. Shortly after I said that, one of the girls behind the counter said, "Is there anybody available to work on taking out the rubbish?" It was said very snide, so I think she was talking about me. They then proceeded to say other things like, "a little courtesy goes a long way." Soooooo professional. I had the self control not to be confrontational and call her out on it. It's too bad. I really liked Dr. Ho, but I will not be going back. The front office can stay catty and passive aggressive. They think they're cool like that.Read Less

Dr. Joy Lynn Yasuda-Tanigawa is our vet, and this 5 star rating is for her and the Client service member Brenda. Without them there is no way I'd still be using VCA. Choose your Doctors lightly, they work independently within the Hospital. Our vet does her prices fairly and is issues discounts where they should be. I don't feel I'm being raped like it when I have seen other vets at this VCA. Brenda has the customer service that I've see on this rock. She really needs a promotion for all she's done. Read Less

My wife and I have been bringing our dogs here since they were puppies.
