East Charleston Animal Hospital

I took our cat into a local vet hospital. I left our visit very upset and confused. Feeling kinda lost and not so right once my cat wasn’t getting better after a week I did some research and found this office. Not only is the staff amazing but the doc was so friendly. She took the time to explain things throughly and actually cared. She is so knowledgable. I absolutely love this place and you cannot beat their prices. You definitely made a great first impression and I will not go anywhere else when it comes to our cat. Thank you East Charleston Animal Hospital!

Look no further. THIS is the MOST awesome vet. Affordable excellence. So lucky to have found her and her exceptional staff. I couldn’t be more pleased. Being newer to the area, I was super nervous finding a local vet but had to take the plunge. I adopted a pet to find right away that he was sick :(She was very conscientious and sympathetic and provided a full scale emergent care and long term regiment incl meds, etc for half the cost that most wanted just to consult. More importantly they are skilled, caring, patient and provide comprehensive care with genuine passion and love. A scary situation for my family has been turned around completely. Affordable excellence. Will ONLY go here for any and all vet needs in Nevada.

The only issue is that their address is at 601 instead of 701. Other than that, I have to commend this place on absolutely everything.
Their prices are actually pretty good. I brought in my 1 yr old puppy for her annual shots as well as my mother’s younger 8 week old puppy for his shots. They microchipped the young puppy and helped me out with my 1 yr old.
It is clear that the entire facility cares for the animals. As a walk-​in on a Saturday morning, I think the wait time was pretty good. Next time I will definitely make an appointment however.
When my puppy was seen, she was treated gently and the vet was very nice and easy to understand. I told her about some problems I had been having with my puppy and she offered multiple solutions for me, none of them which would earn her any money; she genuinely cared about my dog and wasn’t trying to make money off of me.
I absolutely love this place and plan on coming here again.

Dr. Julie is SOOOO AMAZING! She removed stones from my Shih Tzu’s bladder… I was SHOCKED at the size of the stones! Koda (our dog) is very afraid of cages and she cries the entire time she’s caged. I explained to Dr. Julie I’d like to have her stay with me after the surgery… Dr. julie not only arranged for me to take her home for the evening but she also gave me her personal cell phone in case anything went wrong over night…
******Dr. Julie knew we did not have a lot of extra funds to help our lil love. We could barely afford the surgery… Would you believe that when we went to pick up Koda Dr. Julie had removed a hard lump on Koda’s breast due to those often being/​becoming breast cancer… Of course as soon as she said that, my heart dropped thinking «Oh, no… How much is that?» She did that COMPLEMENTARY… She has saved Koda’s life twice and we just could not be more thankful for Dr. Julie & her genuine thoughtfulness. She’s just a lovely person, I can sing her praises enough!
We proudly drive 30+ minutes to see the BEST! What is different about Dr. Julie VS other Vets… SHE SINCERELY CARES ABOUT EACH ANIMAL SHE TOUCHES!!!

I’ve brought little jack in here several times now for littles things such as ear infections or really bad potty breaks, we didn’t have our first real danger until 1 week ago my not so caring aunt left rat poison on the garage floor OUT IN THE OPEN!!! (still very upset) we went to the Animal Emergency Care on W. Charleston they made him purge and gave him vitamin K to help absorb the poison after 8 days before the pill runs out we were suggested to go to our regular vet for a followup. Dr. Julie has been nothing but helpful and loving to my pet in every aspect in her field, so it really makes me sad to see some bad reviews blaming she doesn’t care for the well being of animals when it the exact opposite, If you truly care for your pet and don’t see them as pet but a son or daughter or brother or sister a couple of bucks are meaningless (f.y.i. there is a thing called pet insurance) as a pet owner finding the best care for them is important and I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the LV. Jack is okay still hyper active as ever!

I have spent thousands of dollars at multiple vets across the valley in an effort to prevent my poodle’s recurrent UTI’s, including an internist. After numerous inconclusive ultrasounds and expensive tests, I felt defeated that she would be on antibiotics continuously for the rest of her life.
After moving into the neighborhood and being walking distance from Dr. Julie, I thought I would seek another opinion. She was very attentive and took a detailed account of my pup’s history, and collected all of her medical records from the various vets. She provided me a full explanation on my pup’s anatomy and why she thought this kept occurring. It makes so much sense in hindsight, and I’m so frustrated that I wasted so much time at other vets when Dr. Julie saw a fairly simple cause and solution. So far, my pup has been in the best health in her five years of life. This is the longest she has gone with no signs of a UTI. I am so overjoyed that she is able to be herself without consistent pain and medication. I am forever grateful to Dr. Julie and will never take my pets anywhere else, no matter where I live in the valley. She also has very reasonable prices and will try to get to the bottom of the problem with minimal tests.

East Charleston Animal Hospital holds a special place in my heart! Dr. Julie and her staff have always been so good to be from when I started as a volunteer to a visitor that stops by at any given moment available. I can tell you that everyone working there really has a passion for animals and are always willing to help others whenever possible. They helped me get another perspective of Veterinary Medicine and not only have they become great mentors, they have become great friends.

I had been very disappointed in my previous veterinary office and was in need of a new vet to take care of my two old babies, one sick and one healthy. Tugger was 14 years old and was living on borrowed time, having had lymphoma for over 2 years along with a urinary tract infection that the previous (corporate) vet clinic had failed to address properly despite hundreds of dollars of tests. I selected E. Charleston based on the reviews here.
From the moment I walked in I could tell that these were caring people. I had come in at this time because Tugger’s health had changed over the last 24 hours and he needed a new evaluation and pain medication. Dr. Julie Ylarde reviewed his past history of tests and my descriptions of his current state, and then took a fair amount of time to explain the possible causes of his various symptoms and exactly how each of her recommended tests would narrow down the problems and point to either a correct treatment or reveal that his condition was not treatable (without thousands of dollars of surgery, etc.)
Then one of her staff came in and went over all of the options and how much each would cost with no pressure, which was important to me as I am retired with a limited fixed income. I opted to take the pain medication and antibiotics and to return in two or three days to have as many of the tests done as I could afford. It turned out that they were out of the retail packaging of the antibiotic but they had about a quarter bottle of it that they used in-​house and they gave it to me for free to tide me over until they could restock.
Unfortunately, Tugger died early Monday morning, just over a day later. Still, I was grateful for the caring support Dr. Julie and her staff offered, and for the opiate pain medication that made his last day and a half more comfortable. I held him most of the night and then placed him in his spot on the bed next to my pillow and stroked his nose and head. He died about an hour later.
The staff also called me Monday morning to follow up on how he was doing, which I appreciated, but I was at La Paloma arranging Tugger’s cremation when they called.
I will definitely be taking my surviving cat to them for regular checkups and vaccine renewals. He’s also 14 but still in excellent health: He looks like he’s only about seven. He’s been moping around and coming to me much more often all week. He misses his brother.

When other vet offices gave us the run around. This animal hospital took such great care of us.
We should have come here first.
THANK YOU Dr. Julie! Fast Eddie is so thankful.

Brought my little chihuahua who hasn’t been acting normal here since I needed answers to why my little pup hasn’t been eating or drinking water. They were nice at first, but as soon as they’re able to get into your wallet, they’re vicious!
I knew it would cost $ 82.50 to have them examine my dog, but to come back with the same analysis as myself, ridiculous!
My estimate to run tests on my dog were as high as a down payment for a car! I’m leaving with no answers.
NEVER coming back here EVER AGAIN.

I will not take my dogs anywhere else ever! The staff is helpful and very friendly! I appreciate the efficient work! They really care about the animals! Dr. Julie is so helpful and very caring! Also is very clean!

I just moved to the area and I learned of this veterinary hospital from my puppy’s groomer All Dogs Go to Bev – and I am SO glad I did!
Dr. Ylarde is a true gem, she knows infinite amounts of information about all breeds and probably even all animals. She seemed to really care about the «kids» as she referred to my two dogs. Also, she was the first and only vet which alerted me of my yorkie’s slight patella slip (nothing serious but good to be noted). My yorkie is two and has been to several vets and none of them ever even mentioned it could be a future problem.
Overall my two pups were well and only one of them received Bordatella, the total for two wellness exams and one vaccination was around $ 70 – 80. Pretty reasonable but truthfully, I would pay any price for my little munchkins to have Julie as their doc!

I’m relatively new to Vegas and had a sick pup in need of an exam. I called this clinic and was able to bring him in an hour later. The vet took the time to lay out all of the options and priced everything out to me so I could make the decision on the course of treatment. As somebody who used to be a vet tech, I found the prices to be VERY reasonable (though maybe these are just prices for the area). Overall I’d say they did a good job and I will be bringing both of my dogs back for their annual checkup and vaccinations as soon as the current issues is resolved.
I took off one star because the staff seemed a bit unorganized in general, but everyone was very friendly and the quality of care seems good so far.

We were mortified to find out our dog, Simba, had bladder stones. There was a animal hospital near our house, VCA Nellis Animal Hospital, and took him there. They quoted us over 900 $ to move the bladder stones back into his bladder so he isn’t in any pain anymore. Little did we know that didn’t solve the problem. The stones would just be moved, not removed. Then they quoted us around $ 2,000 for the actual stone removal. UHH NO! & they told us over time the stones will migrate back & he would eventually die if he doesn’t have the surgery.
Desperately we tried to find another vet. Miraculously we found this hospital. They quoted us only 900 $ for the actual surgery. WOW! Shoulda came here first would have saved 900 $ & just used it for the actual surgery. They were incredibly nice. They even offered to take care of Simba for an extra day because no one was able to watch him when we worked during the day.
I really recommend this place. The area isn’t ideal but the staff & the care they give is totally worth it! & my simba is saved!

I recently brought my dog to ECAH. I was very impressed with the staff and doctor and highly recommend them. Pricing is very reasonable and the atmosphere was fun and friendly. I will recommend ECAH to everyone I meet who has a pet!

Dr Julie is the best. We take our 3 dogs to her. You can tell she really cares for them and that’s why she is in the business. We feel very comfortable leaving them with her and the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend that everyone takes their animals to them. :)

The vet is compassionate & thorough, prices everything out for you before she performs any services on your pet. Vets are expensive but her rates are reasonable. Their hours are different from the ones posted online though.
Not bad overall, better than the Rancho Animal Hospital I previously frequented.

When Mina’s vet left her practice, I was hoping to find something closer to home (I’d been driving all the way to Green Valley!). And I did! Just down the street, in fact. Maybe too close. Now that the vet is a 4 minute drive instead of a 30 min trek, I’ve become the crazy dog mom who packs her kid up at the sign of a sniffle.
But Dr. Julie puts up with my hysteria kindly. I have taken Mina there probably 3 times in the last 4 months. The prices are very reasonable AND they always give you an estimate of all of the charges (procedures, medicines, tests) before they do anything. They will also work with you on a payment plan if need be. AND they trimmed her nails for free. Nice touch. Also, I love that they cut pills in half for me when the dose is ½ at each meal.
Dr. Julie is very good with our dogs, even my little scaredy-​poo. She has a very no-​nonsense attitude and is efficient but caring as well. As a microbiologist, I was thrilled to hear them say that they actually culture and test antibiotics when dogs have an infection, rather than just prescribing a broad-​spectrum! Yay for limiting antibiotic resistance!
It’s a no frills place, but it does a great job at a great price. Walk-​ins welcome. Accepts most major credit cards.

I love this vet. I feel like the staff really cares about my dog. Dr. Ylarde understand that we as pet owners get worried about anything out of the ordinary. She fixes your pets problem in the most cost effective way. Everytime Rudy and I have gone to see her she has made Rudy as good as new! I love that they are open on Saturdays and they are able to fit me in when I need them.

Great service. The vet dr. Was really nice and helpful. The cheapest vet I found in LV to treat cherry eye. $ 420. while others charge $ 700 and up. My dogs eye came out perfect. And the vet even threw in some free wipe solution and guazes for my bulldogs wrinkles. And trimmed his nails on the house while he was sedated. I drove a long way just to come here. The vet is on charleston and Hoover close to las Vegas blvd.
