Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital

I'm really surprised by the low reviews. Last spring, my landlord's (who lives on the premises) older cat was attacked by 3 coyotes while she was out of town. We didn't find him until the sun came up, he had been under a car wounded for over an hour. After getting him out and wrapped up, I took him to LFSAH because it was the closest vet I could bring to mind since I was new to the area. I won't go into the gory details of how bad the cat's injuries looked, but I was heartbroken and convinced as we drove him to the vet that we were probably taking him to be euthanized, he looked so bad it really looked untreatable. They began treating him immediately when we arrived. They gave the most informative diagnosis, were very thorough in explaining exactly what his injuries and prognosis were (several broken ribs, bruised lungs, throat, multiple bite wounds). The vet was the most knowledgeable I've ever seen and she and the staff were very compassionate and concerned. Everyone there was pull

Dr. Costin does rock! I've had appt.s with the other doctors there, but now I only see him because he is caring and very knowledgeable. In fact, last year my kitty was diaganosed with cancer when I brought him for a regular check-up. I was very upset, and Dr. C was extremely compassionate and made that process as good as it could be. Also, the staff has always been nice to me....

I have been going to the Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital for 17 years first with my cat and now with my new puppy. I have always found the front desk staff to be very helpful and professional. I have seen several different vets there over the years and have always been happy with the care with which they have treated my pets. I would highly recommend them to every pet owner.‎

In my experience in going to this facility at various times over the last 12 years, I have found reception and staff to be rude and uncaring and I have found at least one doctor, Dr. Costin (Jr.) to be inept if not incapable of performing his job. In my most recent vist, I took my cat in due to swelling in the rear legs. Dr. Costin (Jr.), indicated that he was unable to find any reason for the swelling and actually said he had no idea what the problem could be. He advised me to go home and see if the swelling went down. It did not. After a month I went back to his office and saw another doctor who brought out xrays from the previous visit with Dr. Costin (Jr.) and pointed out a sub lumbar mass that is not only visibly clear but even noted in Dr. Costin's notes. He actually noted that there was a sub lumbar mass, and then came in and told us that he had no idea what the problem could be. As it turns out it is a fatal form of lymphatic cancer that if treated at the time of our ori
