Beach Vet Hospital: Valikov Ena DVM

Dr. Ena is an excellent vet. She breaks things down so you can understand what your pet needs and why. I know my kitten is in good hands when I go there. The vet techs, David and Trinidee, are warm and kind and handle my kitten with attention and care. They all make a great team.

It’s hard to put into words how much Dr. Valikov Ena and her team mean to us. For one, when we rescued a Husky that we found on the street, the doctor and her team did everything they could to see her. She had a cough so the dr took the time to squeeze us in to see her outside. When we then found out she had an ear infection, the whole team supported our scared girl to make sure she felt safe, but also got the help she needed. For our old senior dog, another vet had apparently given her medicine (was taken to another dr by my mom without me knowing- I was on my honeymoon) and it made her eye very swollen. Dr. Ena again heard our concern in our voice, squeezed us in, and gave us medicine that immediately made our dog better. The doctor is very passionate about what she does and will not compromise her expertise for anyone- something I admire in a very fast, changing world. She teaches us how to take care of our animals and sometimes that means teaching us that the problem is us humans instead of our animals. We love Beach Vet. If you’ve felt judged, taken advantage of or just not care for by your vet, Dr. Ena will fix that. She’s our forever go to.

We’ve used Dr. Ena at Beach Veterinary Hospital for a long time. She’s taken excellent care of all of our pets, especially those that had unusual or chronic issues. She puts lots of extra time into researching difficult situations like that of our cat. He has chronic G.I. issues, but does not respond to typical treatments. Fortunately, she found an alternative treatment for our pet, and he is still alive two years later. We also appreciate that she is very upfront about treatment costs and explains different possible courses of treatment in detail so that we can make the best choice for our pets and family. This was greatly appreciated when two different pets of ours developed cancer. Dr. Ena and her staff have always treated my family with kindness and respect and we are very grateful for her.

This clinic and team are absolutely phenomenal and I cannot recommend highly enough. Dr. Ena was incredibly compassionate and clearly an expert with my elderly (and grumpy) cat, and was able to diagnose and treat his problem immediately. When I moved to Southern California, I struggled to find a vet that was able to treat my cat, and was always very nervous about the exorbitant costs of veterinary care. Dr. Ena and her staff really care for their patients, and I feel as though Dr. Ena was very conscientious of ensuring that we could obtain the necessary treatments in the most cost effective manner. Dr. Ena and her team are very friendly and welcoming, and I sincerely appreciate that Dr. Ena took the time to explain to me how to best move forward with treating my cat. I am so grateful to have found this veterinary practice.

Dr. Ena likes to demand businesses do as she tells them, then takes to social media to shame them if they don’t. I would never want someone like that treating my pets. I can’t imagine what she would do to them if I didn’t take her advice on something. Very aggressive behavior.

Dr Ena is a character. She's very knowledgeable and has our dogs' best interests at heart. Her staff are lovely as well... I'm sure that they put up with a lot, between the pets and Drs and pet parents!

Dr Ena is amazing. My pet was brought back to life where other places quit on him. Staff is amazing as well, understanding and patient.
