Las Posas Veterinary Medical Center

I don’t agree with the 5 star ratings for this place. Every single time I have called, the staff has been rude and continually questioning my responses. I’m sorry but how many times do I need to repeat myself before you accept my answer. I have an exotic cat and am going by my breeder’s recommendations however this vet refuses to do anything for my pet unless I do what they say. I basically had no other course of action than to take my cat to a clinic which took care of my cat without question and for less than half the cost. I do not recommend this vet, especially if you have an exotic animal. They are either ignorant to special needs or do not care enough to take your opinion in to consideration. If you do decide to take your pet to this vet I advise if you make an appointment and leave yourself extra time to sit and wait! On my first visit I had to wait over an hour when there were only 3 other people in the waiting room. This is especially frustrating when the employees at the front desk are doing absolutely nothing. As you can tell from this review, every experience with this vet has been extremely disappointing. I have been there at least 4 times and have finally given up on this place. Take your pet and your business elsewhere.

I love these people. So far, my cats have not been ill, just in for check ups. My cats are polar opposites. My girl is so shy and timid but they treat her so kindly and gently. My boy cat is terrible. He hisses and swipes and growls. I had another vet in Camarillo who couldn’t finish the exam with him. But this group of professionals rolls with it and gets the job done… and they do it smiling. They assure me that he’s cute and precious. He doesn’t make their job easy, but they’ve made it look simple.

I have taken my cat, Jack to this clinic for years. He has had some issues in the past 2 weeks and, as usual, the doctor and staff have been wonderful to help him AND me. I had to leave him for a few hours. I was so worried about him and Jennifer was so kind in driving him home for me. This clinic is outstanding in service and caring for your pet. Thank you, Jennifer. And thanks to Crystal and Dr. B. for all your help.

Just wanted to update everyone re: our observations of this veterinary clinic.
Unfortunately, we have been into the office several times in the last few weeks… trying to fix some health issues in both our new kitten and our mature cat. EVERY TIME WE ARE IN THIS OFFICE WE MEET AMAZING PEOPLE! Not just the wonderful people who work at LPVC — and everyone who works there IS very special to us! We have never visited a vet clinic where the clientele were consistently so incredible — I am talking REALLY GREAT PET OWNERS! Both dog and cat people in the lobby are a collection of the most interesting; compassionate and empathic people. This place seems to attract a very loyal group of people who come back year after year with all of their pets. The doctors sometimes change, I think that other than the two main vets, there is usually a third who is in transition in their career and moves on to Emergency Care or another specialty clinic. Still, we were initially recommended by our vet in New Mexico, who worked here years ago prior to relocating to NM. Really, what a gift in this day & age to have a group of people who are so exceptional. Medical care for our pets is very expensive and can be incredibly emotionally charged. This is the place you want to be if you want a warm environment with the same faces greeting you at the front desk every visit, and other clients who are genuine pet lovers and seem to be really decent people.

Once again these veterinarians took amazing care of our prince Tubby. He had a mass removed and teeth cleaned while he was sedated. They care so much about the well being of your pet. They are the best in Ventura County and the only ones there I trust compleatly with my pets life. I know they always have done everything they possibly can to prevent, diagnose and cure whatever ails my animals. Love them!!! Thank you Las Posas Veterinary for everything!!!

I brought my recently adopted shelter dog in today for an exam to make sure everything looked okay on him and to figure out how old he might be. I did not have an appointment but the vet saw me in under 10 minutes! It is conveniently located in the shopping center on Daily and Las Posas and there is plenty of lot parking.
The vet was very sweet and caring to my new friend and helped me figure out my buddy’s age and we even picked a birthday for him together. The vet checked out my dog’s lungs, heart, skin, teeth, and reviewed his shelter paperwork to make sure he was current on all of his shots. I bought some flea medication on my way out and they gave me a free dog and cat calendar and a bag of holiday dog treats! The staff is all very friendly and animal loving. I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone.

Took my cat in the be groomed and found out they sedated him without our permission. Then left him wet. He ended catching a cold and was sick for 10 days. Our other cat caught the cold from him too. Avoid this place.

Misdiagnosed my cat with borderline symptoms of multiple diseases. The doctors prescribed several medications over the course of a year that did not treat any actual issues and made my cat’s health worse over time. Our new vet has correctly diagnosed one simple and easy to treat illness with days of the first visit. My pet is much better off at our new vet.

They were so kind and gentle while examining my dog after he was bit by another dog at a grooming shop in Ventura. Poor dog is never going to want a bath again. Nice staff and service here. I would recommend this place to a friend.

We have two dogs that we bring here. Dr Maloney is great with both. We called because my dog had a hotspot and they were able to accommodate us as soon as possible. The office is very clean and the staff is very friendly. And you don’t have to wait hours to be seen.

Stay away from this clinic.
Dr. Holter and Dr. Maloney are nightmares. Just stay away from this place. Dr. Garrolini knows of their incompetence and still employes them.

We have only used this facility twice since we normally take our animals on base for their vet care. Both instances were for our very precocious St. Bernard puppy and both instances were for emergency care! The vets here are wonderful. The second visit we could not afford the required surgery and we were going to have to put her down. This upset my whole family and what made it worse was that it was right before Christmas. The great staff and owners split the cost of surgery with us in half and have allowed us to make payments so that we could bring our little girl home just in time for the holiday feeling so much better! If we weren’t on such a tight budget I would definitely come here for all of my pet needs. But I would highly recommend this vet to anyone who loves their animals as much as we do!

Price gouging, price gouging, price gouging. BUYER BEWARE at this business. We had a biopsy done on two lumps on one of our dogs and we were just about speechless when we received our bill. After calling four other clinics in the surrounding areas we realized that we were charged approximately THREE TIMES what they were charging for the exact same procedure. Unethical. We won’t be back.

I had an appointment with them for 3:15 on a Friday, as I was driving over they said they had to do emergency surgery, didn’t know how long it was going to take and they had to cancel my appointment. No help trying to find another appointment or offering to see my dog later it the day. It was a Friday afternoon! How the heck was I going to find another appointment? I eventually did with another vet, thankfully.
Try two. I figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt and try setting up an appointment with them again. I called at 8am on a Saturday to set up a same day appointment. Did they have anything? Nope double booked all day.
Needless to say I have found another vet and will not be trying to give them my business again.

Had faith in them in the begining but when they mis-​diagnose your dog and continue to have you pay hundreds of dollars for something that doesn’t help your dog??? Really?

I just got an 8 week old puppy and came in for the free initial puppy exam. She passed with flying colors and they gave us a pack of puppy food and a month’s supply of advantage, also for free. The staff is what impressed me the most, though. They all were so great and friendly and all of them genuinely seemed to care about the pets they were treating. Her first series of shots and a fecal exam for parasites cost $ 70.
