Excellent first time visit.. Highly recommend this great vet

by heathersky

Found this vet online last week when my outside cat got into a cat fight. Was seen promptly by a very nice female vet. An estimate was given prior to any service done. They fixed Zoey up with stiches and she was ready to be picked up in 4 hours.

The office was clean and modern. The front staff were warm and friendly. Parking was plentiful. NO complaints at all. Will go back next time I need veterinary services or surgery. Highly recommend Mid Valley Vet.

Expensive and avoid Dr. Kim

by svtsteve

ive taken my dogs to this "hospital" a few times. its always clean and has decent, mixed reviews. the staff is usually friendly. the cost is always high at this place. we took our pups for the shot clinic and it was still quite a bit higher than other places we checked out. we did have our mastiff neutered here and it was a little expensive but not TOO expensive and they seemed to do a good job. we've dealt with Dr. Kim on a few occassions and i was less than impressed with her attitude. ive been to a few vets in the SFV and most are always nice and talkative and seem to care about the animals. i finally decided to move on after reading some of these other reviews and finding another vet in the area with even better reviews.

Saved my puppy with parvo and helped with the costs!! A+++

by SteveGordon986

3 weeks ago my lab puppy Tammy was very sick with vomiting and blood diarrheaa. I called around and found a very symphathetic vet, Mid Valley Vet Hospital. On the phone I explained that I adopted the puppy from Lab Rescue and being a CSUN student I was not in a very good financial situation. The kind nurse on the phone told me to bring my pet in and that we would fiqure out whats wrong with her and help in any way we could.

At 7:30 pm on a Friday I brought Tammy in and found a very warm, clean and caring vet hospital. In about 10 minutes a vet, Dr. Michael Pitt came in and did a good exam on her.. After running a couple of tests he diagnosed her as being very sick with a virus called Parvo.

I found out this is a very serious and deadly condition and she would need to stay in the hospital for treatment.

I was given an estimate that was reasonable but much more than I could afford. I spoke to the nurse and was very honest about my financial situation being a student.

Ths nurse, Cindy got authorization to charge me a flat and reduced fee that was very reasonalble and affordable with my finances.

Four days later I took her home. She was back to normal.

I will always be thankful to Mid Valley Vet Hospital for both taking care of her and helping me out with the bill.

I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful and caring vet and give them an A++++ for all their help and understanding.

just my two cents.

Best in Breed! Dog and cat breed that is...

by craig68

First time client last Sunday. My cat was hit by a car early in the morning and I did a Google search in the Reseda area and found Mid Valley Vet Hospital. i called and was surprised to find them open at 8am on sunday. The gal who answered, Lucy was her name, was terrific. Warm and compassionate. She said bring your pet in ASAP. NO MENTION OF MONEY WAS MADE!! Her concern was just for my pet. When I arrived she was seen pronto. A very nice and pretty vet Dr. Kim walked in right away. She performed a good physical exam and recommended some xrays and lab test to make sure my kitty was ok. After about 20 minutes she returned to tell me that Jocelyn our kitty had a broken rear leg but that a splint should fix her up and surgery wasn't indicated. They gave me a very reasonable estimate and I am happy to say that our kitty is doing fine, albeit confined to house arrest. My first time experience at this new vet was excellent. The vet and supporting staff were professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Mid Valley Vet Hospital in Van Nuys for any animal emergency for vet issues. Jocelyn and I say a big thanks guys!

Best Vet in the Valley.. Client for 3 yrs. Never a problem

by dale1970

As a resident of Reseda for 10 years, I have been bring my 4 cats to Mid Valley Vet Hospital in Van Nuys for over 4 years. Dr. Pitt and his staff are amazing. Dr. Kim is an excellent doctor for Sunday emergency vet visits. i have used the facility for simple exams and shots as well as pet surgery needs. They are open 7 days a week as well as late in the evening. I even found them open last Thanks Giving day when my cat had a bad case of the runs. I have never experienced anything but TOP NOTCH care and treatment. The staff even remembers me by first name when I walk in. I highly and mean HIGHLY recommend this top notch veterinary facility for anyone in the valley.

My dog had parvo disease and Mid Valley Vet saved her!!

by mikey80

Last week my 8 week old lab started to vomit and have bloody diarhea. I found Mid Valley Vet Hospital in Van Nuys open on sunday. I took her there to be examined. I was warmly welcomed and seen very quickly. After doing a test the vet came in and said she was very sick with parvo. My problem is that Im a student and have limited savings. A employee came in the room with an estimate that was reasonable but more than I could afford. I then told my story about being a student with very little savings to a very caring nurse named Jack. After some discussion he was very cool and got an ok to give me a huge money break. They just charged me a very fair flat fee and said the price wouldnt go up no matter how long she was sick. Im VERY HAPPY TO SAY that after 3 days she was doing much better and eating. With a warm heart I say THANK YOU Mid Valley Vet for understanding my money problemes, working with me, and healing my dog. I will be a customer for life, and my lab Penny thanks you a million.. I highly recommend this vet as they are caring and compasstionate and will work with you if you have money problems.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - REFUSED SERVICE

by pdd3517

Today I helped rescue a dog that had been hit by a car. This Vet was the closest and we rushed the dog over for medical help. The vet refused to come out from the back office and told the receptionist that they would not look at the dog unless we left a deposit. The dog was hit by a car and the vet refused to even talk to us face to face!! They said that if they did anything they could lose their license - PLEASE!!! I took the dog to West Valley Animal Control and they lovingly took the dog. They said that it is possible that had this "Vet", and I use the term loosely, that they may have been able to save the dog. Unfortunately the dog had to be put down, no thanks to these people. I am happy that they are NOT my vet as they care more about doing nothing than doing what is right. It's painfully (mostly for the poor Shepherd who was suffering) obvious that a love of animals is not the prevailing reason for this veterinary clinic to be open.... A love of MONEY is sadly apparent. There are hundreds of vets in the valley... AVOID this one!

Mid Valley Vet Hospital was there in a pinch!!

by Davidlovesdogs

2 weeks ago on a Sunday, my lab got a piece of bone caught in his throat. He was drooling likely crazy, going nuts, and starting to turn purple. I called Mid Valley Vet where I have had excellent experiences in the past, and was told by a receptionist to get down here PRONTO..

Upon arrival, they rushed him into the treatment area and after signing a quick and very reasonable estimate they have my lab Rex sedated and Dr. Kim removed the bone. She also had to sew up part of his gum that was cut. Dr. Kim called me in 30 minutes to explain the situation and reassure me that Rex was doing fine. I picked him up 3 hours later and he was acting like nothing ever happened.. THANK YOU MID VALLEY VET AND ESPECIALLY DR. KIM FOR SAVING HIS LIFE!!!! You have a client for life.. I am so glad u guys were open on Sundays.
