The best exotics vet practice in L.A. I take all my bunnies to Dr. Kanfer and she is truly amazing! I'm so grateful for her and her entire staff. Exotics vets are expensive but you get what you pay for here. You can trust them completely.

i had an appointment a year ago for my chinchilla for the first time and michael and holly richards were amazing helping my sabrina out. Very professional and easy to talk to would definitely come again for her annual check ups. prices were also reasonable.

Extremely disappointed with their service. They suggested I pay for expensive lab testing for which the results were received about 10 days later. They knew it was critical that those results were received right away to insure the proper medication was prescribed. I called every day for the results to no avail. They knew time was of the essence. Now, that the results have been received nobody calls me back or answers my calls. I finally got through when I called from a different number and nobody was available to speak with me, and still no call back from a vet, tech or office manager. As a result my beloved pet is now dead and I am down $1,000 and I still don’t know what caused it. Extremely disappointed and will not recommend this place to anyone. As a result of their negligence my beautiful pet is dead.

YES, much more expensive than other vets. 4 instead of 5 stars only because of the high rates. Dr. Richards and the techs are great with taking care of my bunny. Can't thank them enough.

My guinea pig is peeing blood and her private is swollen how much would it be for that to be checked out and treated ?

Valery Serrano | Aug 31, 2020
Jenny Evelyn | Aug 31, 2020

I would agree with Amy. They are a little bit pricey but they do take care of your little pet. When I went I paid $100 for the check up and then $200 for the medicine, vitamine shots,and extra things my chinchilla needed. Good thing is that before they do anything to your little pet they will go over your options/treatments and let you decide if its what you can afford. One of my options was xrays and lab test, whcih was going to cost me about $600 plus the cost of the consultation. But I opted for the medication and vitamine shots only option, whcih was affordable for me. After my visit they called me a couple weeks later to check up on my little guy. I would recommend this place for sure.

Kimberly Sotelo | Aug 31, 2020
James D | Aug 31, 2020

Yes but I was very disappointed at how disorganized their office is. And they really push/upset and way more expensive than some other great places in Irvine. Like Pet Points Hospital Dr. Hsu is SUPERB! Might be a little far, but well worth it and exam is only $70. Exotic charges $125-$150 for just an exam!

Do any of u know where I can bring my pet rat Sara w a tumor? Is there any clinic anywhere that helps people who just can't afford it? I'm so overwhelmed by the places I've called, that can't help. Please help..thank you! Andrea

Andrea Hoffman (BLURRYFACE 21PILOTS) | Aug 31, 2020
M. A. G. | Aug 31, 2020

They are expensive, but tbh this is the one place in the LA area I'd feel confident bringing my rats because others are really inexperienced. You can also check with an organization called RedRover.org for a surgical grant to have her mass removed. They give financial assistance for any species. If you happen to have ties in the Bay Area, Adobe Animal Hospital is affordable and more experienced than places in LA.

Do you treat box turtles? And how much will be the consultation fee? Thanks

Jesusa Martinez-Quinn | Sep 1, 2018
Sally Hawkridge | Sep 1, 2018

Yes, and the general exam alone is something like $60-$80. From personal experience, I can tell you that the best time to take your turtle or tortoise to the vet is when you suspect that something might be off. By the time it is obvious that they are sick, they are suuuuper sick and there will be drama.
