Matt and Hannah
VEC Alhambra
"I was referred to this clinic by my vet after my dog developed a growth on his eyelid. Veterinary eye clinic did an amazing job taking care of my pet and me. The front desk was friendly, communicative and would follow up before and after appointments. Dr. Sheahan is truly amazing at what she does. I felt like the clinic really cared for my pet and I can’t thank them enough."

VEC Calabasas
"The VEC team was so kind and thorough with our fur baby. He had a freak accident that ultimately had to end up with his eye being removed, but they helped make what was an awful situation the best it could be. They were super understanding and considerate with all things and we are so grateful for the outcome of our little man's operation. Thank you to everyone at VEC for taking care of our Enzo!"
