Our Clients Say...

Dr. Annie Hernandez is a total package. As a health care provider myself, I know how important, and yet rare it is, to be knowledgeable, kind, reassuring and practical.

Gordon A.

Anthony is an essential, outgoing, very professional, and very knowledgeable 😇 I'm very pleased that this company hired him a great person to have on the team.

Penelope S.

Dr G is the best!! He is funny, approachable, and very knowledgeable about a wide range of clinical issues. He even took the time to write a hand written thank you note after our first visit, with a little joke from our appointment.

Muriel H.

I love bringing my 15 year old pug mix here. He is so loved and well looked after. The staff is the absolute best in town. On every level. Every vet my dog has seen there has been top notch. Every procedure and or recommendation has worked out brilliantly.

Dave L.

Dr. Hillebrand was absolutely amazing! The staff was able to squeeze me in last minute for my dog who started sneezing blood from his nose on a hike. They had some availability and were beyond kind, patient, and helpful. The Dr. was very caring and had a huge smile on her face.

Isaac K.

I recently took my cat for a regular check-up at the Santa Monica Pet Medical Center, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, offering a variety of water and coffee prior to the examination.

Nicolas N.

My husband and I were hiking and our baby must’ve gotten stung or something stuck in his nose. He started sneezing uncontrollably and blood even came out of his nose. Our close friend recommended Dr. Hillebrand and she could not have been a better choice.

Kimberley K.

Highly recommend. Had a great experience with Dr. Annie Hernandez. She explained everything throughly, took the time to educate me on best practices to follow with my 4 month old puppy. She followed up promptly after our visit to check in and provide next steps.

Alejandra A.

Our doctor and staff were so thoughtful and provided such kind and quality care when we had to put our sweet elderly dog to sleep. They explained every step so we knew what to expect. They helped us get through this painful experience with grace. They went above and beyond for us.

Andrea H.

My family and I cannot say enough positive things about SMPMC. Dr. George is our vet and he is the best, he is so kind and treats our dog as his own. She is a difficult chihuahua and he still treats her graciously and with great care.
