Pasternak Veterinary Center

My Cocker Spaniel, Goldy, has been under Dr. Pasternak's care for about four years. Last summer, she developed a stubborn ear infection persisting for three months. Despite trying various drops, pills, and ointments with little success, Dr. Pasternak surprised me by prescribing supplements instead of antibiotics. Remarkably, my 12-year-old dog is now as lively as a puppy, her ears have cleared up, cysts around her body have diminished, and her energy is through the roof. Dr. Pasternak's holistic approach, integrating traditional and alternative therapies, impressed me with its comprehensive care. His emphasis on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms reflects a commitment to overall pet well-being. Clear communication and personalized treatment plans further contributed to this positive experience. Thank you Dr.Pasternak and your team!

Dr. Pasternak and his staff are absolutely wonderful. We brought our dog Bowie in as a complicated case and very sick about a month ago. We were told by a specialist at MASH that our sweet boy had max 2 months to live, so we wanted to see someone who practices both holistic and traditional medicine to make him as comfortable as possible for whatever time he has left. Dr. Pasternak’s treatment approach so far is doing wonders- Bowie has energy, a great appetite, and is looking better than he has in several weeks. Time will tell, but in the meantime we are so grateful for this vet and his team! He’s kind, patient, thorough, thoughtful and incredibly well versed/researched in what he does. For those who left reviews about his demeanor- maybe he’s an excellent vet because he likes animals more than people! I know I do. Regardless we disagree with you. He’s lovely!

Took my 19 yr old cat in to see Dr. Pasternak because of diarrhea. It was the calmest vets office I have been in. Staff was lovely and Dr. Pasternak obviously knows his stuff and had me in and out with Lucy in under half an hour. He is an obvious animal lover and the price was really reasonable. I will be staying here with my kitties.

The best. My once upon a stray cat Charles was a medical mystery with nothing but grim outlooks and little information from other vets. Dr. Pasternak made the reality of his health situation clear and has continued to treat him as needed. Despite his trials and tribulations, Charlie is alive and thriving.

Dr. Pasternak is a highly trained & skilled vet, please do not be fooled by his grumpy exterior. There are a handful of other holistic vets in LA, but his practice offers walk-ins including Saturdays, has no waiting list, and was by far the most affordable of all. Our puppy had seen more than 10 vets in her life, and he was the only one to correctly diagnose her genetic condition. He offers herbs, food, antibiotics only when necessary, and testing only when necessary. Every time we went in, he always returned a healthy pet to me. He can be quick, so come very prepared with all your questions & your documents. The staff in front is so kind & compassionate. We've recommended all our family to bring their pets here as well.
