Shane Veterinary Medical Center

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Testa at Shane Veterinary! My Moms grumpy (well maybe a little feral) kitty had a limp and we didn’t think anyone would be able to examine her, but Dr. Testa did! She was amazing in how she handled her and gained her trust right away! From the moment I called, the staff were super accommodating and got us in the next day. The office is clean and inviting. We’re definitely coming back and referring friends and family!

Shane Veterinary has been my vet for over 12 years and I've never had issues with the Drs & staff there. They always treat me, my dogs with kindness. Even in the worst of times, they were compassionate, thorough. They detail concerns (if any), itemize, offer options (with cost) to help you with decisions if needed. I trust my most prized possession 🐾 with Shane Veterinary. Thank you. Donna

This experience was convenient for me and easy on my cat. The vet was knowledge and practical and my cat warned to him instantly. I was surprised because he was scared of the car ride and hiding under the couch in the exam room. As soon as the vet reached out for him, he was comfortable and didn't fuss. Easy to schedule an appointment online!

Tucked right in the heart of Marina del Rey, Shane Veterinary practice is a rare gem—warm, personal, and genuinely devoted to the animals they care for. What sets it apart immediately is its intimate scale. Instead of feeling like you’re being rushed through a massive, impersonal operation, you’re met with a level of attention that only a smaller, more thoughtful practice can provide. Dr. Testa embodies everything you hope to find in a veterinarian. When I brought in Max, my cat, she didn’t reach for an exam table or try to force him into a clinical pose. Instead, she settled onto a soft rug, invited Max to explore at his own pace, played with him, and even scooped him into a gentle hug before beginning his exam. Only after he was fully at ease did she start evaluating him—right there on the rug where he felt comfortable and secure. It was clear she wasn’t just treating a patient; she was caring for someone who mattered. Her dedication to Max’s comfort and well-being left a deep impression. The kindness doesn’t stop with the doctor. At the front desk, Sahara and Darnell set the tone the moment you walk in—warm smiles, genuine friendliness, and a level of helpfulness you don’t often find. They make the entire process—from check-in to follow-up—feel effortless. Another standout point: the cost of care. Their fees are refreshingly reasonable, especially compared to large practices weighed down by massive overhead. You receive exceptional, attentive treatment without the sticker shock. It’s no surprise that this practice has been voted "Best Veterinary Practice" by the Argonaut Newspaper for eleven straight years. After experiencing their care firsthand, the accolade feels entirely earned. Five stars, without hesitation. If you’re looking for a place where your pet will be treated with patience, compassion, and true heart, this is the one.
