We wish Dr Tony Beck's new clinic venture all the best. We have a Tibetan Mastiff and a cat and Tony has been our vet for nearly three years. We have been impressed and pleased with his thorough professionalism and thoughtfulness in providing care for our animals. In particular, he has always been responsive to our small pet health dramas and emergencies, and compared to vets we have dealt with in Australia and Hong Kong, he has gone out of his way to help out off regular hours. We have been very pleased at the level of service provided by Dr Beck. Alick Longhurst and Melinda Liu

I called and got an English Speaker!! A real one!
I found a nasty dumpster kitten on the sidewalk next to a pet market. It was foul! I should have taken a pic of it then but I was embarassed to even pick it up.
Anyway, I now have a 5 week old kitten and I'm still living in a hotel.

I called expecting broken english and a bunch of BS but the info was straight forward and honest. I am happy to have found a this place, it's not just a "Western Style" (a term too used often) vet it is one.

It's easy to find but it was late and I ended up at a pet store on the other side of the building. The employees at the pet shop spoke enough English and were eager to help so I soon found the hospital. 5 min later one of the pet shop employees showed up with my New Blackberry in hand.

I would be happy to use this place if they relocated to Los Angeles and adjusted the price to fit so it's a real treat. Not only are they close, they are quick, they speak English (and so do some of the staff) and they are honest and open late.
