This vet has been amazing in their care and respect for me and my pets (cat & dog).
Dr. Dave went completely out of his way to ensure the care and safety for me and my large dog during an emergency during the peak of COVID. Which included him bringing a large stretcher to my home very late in the evening to help do an emergency transport, and talking my very overwhelmed self down from the panic of the situation.
The front office staff are so kind and so helpful, and all the doctors are professionals and honest with care plans. I drive across town for both of my animals due to the quality of care

Dr. Myriam and her team were wonderful with our dachshund's first visit and dental consult. She was friendly and kind, thoroughly explained the exam and next steps, and ensured I understood my options without any pressure or shaming. She was calm and patient with both myself and our dachshund - much appreciated!

The staff at Mahalo offered me the option of same day urgent care or an appointment early the next day. I'm so grateful that I was offered these options and ultimately chose to go same-day. I was contacted well before I thought I would be and was explained the condition and status of my pet concisely and clearly. The prompt attention to my beloved pet is so highly valuable to myself and my family. I am happy to recommend Mahalo to any and everyone, especially because of their relationship with CatNap and because of their friendly approach and efficiency.

Thank you for being so friendly, and patient with all my questions, and friendly and comforting to my dog, as well. I love that it seems appointments aren't booked up months and months in advance. I feel like I can actually get in to see someone if the need arises, between regular check ups and vaccines. Because the vet had a busy morning, I was offered the option of having my dog stay and hang out, and get her check up and vaccines in between the vet's other patients, and I could come pick her up when she was done. We didn't end up having to do that, but what a nice thing to offer, rather than

I have been extremely happy with all of my experiences at Mahalo Veterinary Hospital. The vets and the lovely staff there go so very far beyond one’s expectations. Dr Nancy Louis actually constructed a car ramp for my very elderly dog, in her own spare time, which has transformed my dog’s life, as now she can access the car and visit interesting places! Dr Myriam showed extraordinary compassion when it was time for my cat to make his final visit. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mahalo Veterinary.

My experience with Dr. Louis has been phenomenal! For the last 11 years I've cared for two special needs dogs who had their own specialists. Finding a local vet willing to take on the challenge of caring for Dante was a concern for me. Dr Louis listens, researches and is willing to reach out for a second opinion when necessary while offering great communication. I think she's exceptional. Special mention that Dr. Mira is pretty awesome too! Dante and I are very fortunate to have found Mahalo. Kudos to all the staff as well for keeping things running during the pandemic!

I was very impressed with my visit, it is hard to find knowledgeable exotic vets. I have been recommending Mahalo Vet and Dr Myriam to my friends and family as well as a few exotic pet owners I have run into online who were looking for help. I deeply appreciate your attention to detail, knowledge, and empathy.
Harry thanks you for your excellent care!

I took my dog to see Dr. Miriam at Mahalo yesterday evening after he hurt his toe and I was worried about infection. Dr. Miriam was wonderful- she took her time, my dog loved her, and she's straightforward. I'm a bit neurotic when it comes to my dog, he's my everything, and this is where I will be taking him in the future.

If you are not THRILLED with your current vet, you need to check these guys out! As someone who does rescue and fostering, we have a lot of animals. Every time we have been in, I have learned something new. I now have diagnoses for my animals various ailments, not just drugs to treat their symptoms. I now feel I am a valuable, knowledgeable partner in my animals health and well being, not just their guardian. I now know my furkids ARE getting the best care available, anywhere.
First, the staff here are top notch, and definitely know their stuff.
