Good vets: explain thoroughly what is going on and don't try to run up the bill

I took our cat to them after being very dissatisfied with our previous vet. The cat was quite ill at this point. Both vets who I saw took a lot of time in examining the animal and did a fantastic job of describing exactly what was happening, what they were doing and what we needed to watch for. Unfortunately, the cat was too sick and ended up being put to sleep to prevent him from unnecessarily suffering. They were extremely sensitive about this process, and even lit a candle at the reception. Also, they did not try to run up the bills. My experience with them was extremely positive.

Save your dog. Stay away from this place

They were supposed to spay my dog. Instead they accidentally tied off her bowels. This caused her to die a slow and horrible death. Fortunately, I took her to another vet just before she died. This other vet did the autopsy and found what this vet from Overland had done. Overland didn't even apologize. They were horrible.

Stay away.

Avoid it! An immoral owner vet out there.

I have a diabetic cat and been treated at this clinic for about a year. Every visit I made, I asked the owner vet, Dr. Schwartz, if I should change my cat's diet. But he always gave me the same answer saying " Not necessary, just stick with dry food." So, I have fed my diabetic cat the same dry food and continued to five 5 unites of insulin, which is a very high dose by the way. But I felt something was so wrong about Dr. Schwartz. Thanks to my instinct, I took my sick cat to some clinic in Santa Monica, and new vet suggested me to feed canned food instead of dry food. After visiting to new vet in Santa Monica only 3 times, I was told that my cat no longer need insulin! All my cat needed was to switch diet! which the new vet told me that canned food diet treatment was a very common approach for a feline diabetes!!! Well, now I know why the vet at overland clinic never wanted me to switch my cat's diet. That would be the end of my expensive vet visit! The vet at this clinic was waiting for my cat to get a kidney disease, which is a common complication of diabetes. Latter, I asked Dr. Schwartz to call me on this, but he never returned my call. AVOID IT AT ANY COST!

• Pros: convenient hours,
• Cons: An immoral vet
