Animal Hospital of Palo Alto

"We’ve been utilizing AHoPA for all of our Cosmo’s needs (veterinary care and doggy daycare) for over 7 years. The AHOPA front office and care staff is warm,, caring, and professional. Dr. Moding, Dr. Lawrence, and the vet technicians provide Cosmo with excellent veterinary care, while providing us with knowledgeable, practical advice for Cosmo’s care at home. Cosmo is always treated like prince when he struts through the front door with his tail wagging, so he apparently agrees with this assessment. The care Cosmo receives from AHoPA is top notch, and we have absolute confidence in them. AHOPA is the only veterinary clinic for Cosmo. Thank you!"

"Much appreciation to Linda Lawrence, DVM, of Animal Hospital of Palo Alto for excellent care of our beloved Yorkie H, 7 years old! This was his 3rd dental cleaning and he still has nearly all his teeth thanks to Dr. Lawrence who did major work 2 years ago when his teeth (unknown to us) were in a state of decline, as it is with Yorkshire Terriors. But Dr. Lawrence removed all tartar even well below his gumline and has continued to improve his teeth during his last 2 cleanings. We love seeing his sparkling white teeth, and just know he enjoys eating his food with strong teeth! In the past Dr. Lawrence also handled skin irritations, an ear allergy issue, trimmed his nails, glands expression and more. H is only 5 lbs and more sensitive than bigger dogs, but bounces back quickly after his visits and we credit the gentle and loving, but effective care he receives at Animal Hospital of Palo Alto! This morning I received a call from Dr. Lawrence to check up on how H was doing and I was so happy to reply he was doing well. Thank you Dr. Lawrence and all the staff at Animal Hospital of Palo Alto for your loving and excellent care of our beloved Yorkie H!"

"The worse hospital ever. Dr Lawrence and RAikhan lead tech are horrible.Dr Lawrence and RAikhan over charges, she hits dogs when they don’t stay still. On top of all that she over doses pets because she is scared of big dogs. So she rather over dose them to perform a test. For example she gave a dog meds that unfortunately killed the dog.She says she wishes she can slap clients and calls them all types of names! She is a dirty Dr who has board complains because she dose not practice proper. Everything she dose is illegal has a tech who she calls a Dr witch this tech is not a licensed Dr and Dr Lawrence lets her perform A Dr duty’s. Dr Lawrence just sits as the tech dose her job as a Dr. if you love your pets do not take them to this hospital. They even give wrong vaccines and don’t tell clients because she is so scared of the board."

"Dr. Lawrence was very kind to me and my senior cat, Coco. Coco had declined rapidly in the last few weeks, not eating and then not drinking water. Dr. Lawrence gave me bad news that Coco was suffering from terminal kidney disease. There was no hope. I used a mobile Vet to euthanize her at home."

"I had to put my beloved kitty of 18 years to sleep after the emotional devastation of watching him waist away. This was very difficult. He was my companion, loved so very much by the entire family. The Animal hospital of Palo Alto, their caring staff and the wonderful vet were a Godsend. The were empathetic and caring in a very emotional time. They explained what was going to happen, and made Mr. T comfortable, sedating him to ease his pain before this difficult procedure. They gave us time with him, allowed us to say goodbye, and were so gentle with our baby and with us. I can not stress enough how thankful we are that this was where we chose. Thank you for the respectful, caring and beautiful treatment you gave to our very loved family member. I can say the level of care we received here is unmatched with any other vet we have ever had."
