What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Sunset Animal Hospital is a 24/7 emergency veterinary facility with a mixed reputation. While many reviewers praise the skilled veterinarians (particularly Dr. Woods, Dr. Enrique, and Dr. Cho), the clean modern facility, and life-saving care provided, significant concerns exist around pricing transparency, long wait times, and occasional communication failures. The facility appears to prioritize comprehensive diagnostics which, while thorough, leads to higher costs than some clients expect. Repeat customers appreciate the convenience and quality but frequently cite the expense as a drawback. Owner responses are consistent and professional, though some negative reviewers note lack of follow-through on promised callbacks.

Worth noting

Pet deaths during or after treatment with perceived inadequate care

โ€œMy puppy died. They made her worse and kept raising the prices. If you really love your animals please stay away from here.โ€

Billing errors and unexpected charges

โ€œBilling errors (coding errors amounting to hundreds of dollars of unnecessary billing)โ€

Long wait times (3-6 hours) even for emergencies

โ€œWe waited for 5 hours just to not even get a proper response while obviously knowing something is wrong.โ€

Perceived money-focused approach over pet care

โ€œThey just want to take money from pet owners who are desperate to get help after business hours.โ€

Communication failures - no follow-up calls, misdiagnoses

โ€œThey never called with an update, finally called the vet later and they told me his fever was down and that he was just chillin back there.โ€

Excessive pricing/expensive bills(45 mentions)

โ€œThey wanted $1,000 for all fees including surgery... They let poor Ivy suffer through the night to await the funds to perform surgery.โ€

Long wait times(35 mentions)

โ€œWaited for 2 hours and I was never assisted, I had to leave and take my girl to another place.โ€

Poor front desk customer service(18 mentions)

โ€œThe lady at the front is rude constantly rolling her eyes while im in panic.โ€

Lack of transparency in pricing(15 mentions)

โ€œNo prices were explained ahead of time except the $172 fee to see the vet. When I went to pay my bill before leaving it was $450.โ€

Perceived upselling/unnecessary tests(12 mentions)

โ€œThey ran every test they could think of. Walked out with a $3000 estimate for a cut on a small growth on my dogs foot.โ€
