Your pet can get average care at Marina Pet Hospital. The problem is they are probably the most expensive vet in the city. For example, getting a puppy spayed costs $250-$400 at most vets. If you buy their pricey insurance plan, Marina Pet Hospital will do the same job at the bargain rate of $600+. \r

They also don't listen to pet owners and do whatever they want, at least I experienced this. My dog had an issue with his hind legs. The options presented to me were to try an anti-inflamatory and see if it works or to do an x-ray. I stated clearly that I would like to try the anti-inflamatory and go from there. Dr. Kim pushed back but I restated my decision. I was then asked to wait in the lobby. They proceded to do the x-ray anyway, for whopping Marina Pet Hospital prices, more than $500.\r

I would pay more if I thought my dogs were getting better care. But they aren't. If money isn't an issue at all and this clinic is close to you, go with Marina Pet Hospital. I think the vets are capable and they are all quite likable. That said, I didn't feel listened to and can't afford them so here I am on CitySearch looking for another vet.
