Cerritos Animal Hospital

Choosing an animal hospital feels very similar to choosing a pediatrician—because my sweet little fur baby can’t speak for themselves. First, cleanliness. This is the most basic and most important thing. This place was impressively clean. Nothing was left piled up anywhere, and everything was well-organized, which immediately gave me confidence. Second, a doctor who truly listens. Just like kids, pets can’t tell us where it hurts, and since I’m not the one experiencing the symptoms myself, it’s hard to describe things perfectly. But the doctor here let me explain everything I observed and felt in detail, and even picked up on things I had missed. That ability really stood out. Third, gentle and careful handling. No one wants their little one to be handled roughly. I loved how gently and

So grateful for Dr Kim and his staff. My pet felt super comfortable with him since day one. He was right about the timing to perform my pet’s surgery, and explained every detail of the procedure. His staff is super friendly and helpful and took amazing care of my baby. She recovered in just a few days of her surgery. Facility is super clean and has cute treats for our pets. :)

So pleased with the veterinary services at Cerritos Animal Hospital. Customer service these days can be hit or miss, but this team at Cerritos Animal Hospital is truly all-star. We’re so happy we found them! Shout-out to the reception staff—the gentleman at the front desk is not only very personable but also provided excellent detailed follow-up information when I called. The young woman at the front desk is also very polite and accommodating. The office is clean, very welcoming, and well organized. We took our dog in for a dental cleaning and tooth extractions. The vet was extremely thorough, explained everything clearly including post surgery reviewing all the after care instructions, and our dog is recovered beautifully. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Highly rec

Dr. Kim and his staff are compassionate, caring and courteous. I recommend them very strongly. I am visiting the area from out of town and my dog was not doing well. I walked in without an appointment and was seen right away. The office staff was very kind to me and my dog and very efficient with our time. Dr. Kim spent time with me and my dog and made clear recommendations of diagnostics, even telling me which one he personally would choose if it were his own dog. I got a call from Dr. Kim the very next day with the lab results and he very patiently explained the results and his recommendations for treatment. In short, a FANTASTIC experience. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Kim has a condescending and degrading approach as a pet provider when asking questions about medications and procedural structure such as down time, recovery, and operating room flow for the pets. I came in for an evaluation for my yorkie for a dental cleaning and ran away immediately. I told him my dog struggled with waking up from anesthesia in the past, and he showed no interest in learning why or how. This showed a lack of detail and attention which is dangerous for animals who have no voices. He had no awareness of standard medical practice and infection prevention protocols as evidenced by him NOT wearing any gloves upon assessment or hand hygiene. He put his fingers into my dog’s mouth after this. :)
