Read More On Citysearch fashiongirl2003 7/18/2010 - Try somewhere else instead. Really. You've been warned.
If you make an appointment with Dr. Baum you can expect to wait at least an hour in an overcrowded waiting room. Once you're granted an audience you will be spoken to in an unfamiliar language that sounds like English but at 3 times the speed. Following the 12.6 seconds you spend with Dr. Baum you will be given bizarre and confusing instructions by a receptionist as they are rushing away from you...
Read More On Citysearch newgreenshade 10/27/2009 - Unsafe Vet - Do Not Recommend!1. Took my adopted stray cat and asked for Dr. Baum specifically. Hard to get appt to see him. Did not do much of a physical on a street stray cat, and he should have checked him more thoroughly. I repeatedly asked if he might have worms due to a bloated belly. He said no, cat is just fat. Turns out he had worms of all kinds after all. Dr. Baum has written many articles online on cat care,...
Read More On Citysearch Minerva00 9/23/2009 - Do NOT go there.About December, 2008, we brought our cat to this vet at about 11 p.m. with an abscessed leg. It was self-described as an emergency clinic at this hour.
An extremely unfriendly veterinarian told me that she didn't do this sort of thing, charges us $120.00. We left and drove across town to City of Angels, where the abscess was drained after about a 2 hour wait: not their fault. There were a few fa...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/24/2009 - Ok animal hospital, I would not recommend
I chose Center Sinai because I couldn't seem to find any vets with decent hours and because of my work schedule, I needed all the flexibility possible. Also, many of the vets in LA charge upwards of $20-$35 PER EACH vaccine which is just way too high. They offer a half price vaccine day one Sunday of the month as well as a pet health insurance program that saves you a ton of money (it really do...

Was good ten years ago.
No more.
Dr. Baum did not diagnose a serious problem that lead to the death of my dog.
Read More On Citysearch Seymour13 12/16/2008 - My otherwise healthy dog died there!I'm glad I found this opportunity to offer a review. The experience I cite here was a few years ago. A very good friend recommended Center Sinai. When I first met Dr. Baum, I was very impressed by his maturity, his professional attitude, education and experience. And when he told me that the purely elective surgery of removing a large, benign fatty tumor from my dog would be "a walk in the park, ...
Read More On Citysearch jamescain 8/13/2008 - Unfriendly staffWe brought our dog in after getting him at the shelter. This place was listed as a place where we could bring our dog w/in 3 days of adoption for a free checkup. The vet couldn't have been more cold towards our dog. She treated him like a piece of dirt and treated us like pieces of dirt. Granted, we were not being charged for this visit, but I did mention that we have 2 cats at home thinking ...
Read More On Citysearch huckchinn 7/9/2008 - Terrible Support StaffI have been going to this vet for a number of years during which time my cat has been on run of the mill anti-anxiety medication. I called this morning to renew the prescription and explained that I had to go out of town immediately for my grandmother's funeral in Chicago. They told me that it had been more than a year since my cat's appointment and that they couldn't dispense medication withou...
Read More On Citysearch ntemkin 4/28/2008 - We have a special place in our hearts for Dr. Baum
We have such a special place in our hearts for Dr. Baum. He never gives up on finding a way to help the animals have a quality life, but will always give you the truth as to when the animal begins to suffer so that appropriate steps can be planned and taken.
Read More On Citysearch Margaret465 2/1/2008 - They remember us ...always take callsI?ve been coming to Center-Sinai and Dr. Baum for some time. We?ve had both of our dogs here, and they?re really compassionate, and caring. Our dogs stay happy and healthy. They?ll always take calls, not like some in town, and our neighborhood, because they remember us and know what they have done for our dogs, and they give lots of personal attention.
Read More On Citysearch AnnePear 2/1/2008 - I recommend Dr. Baum to all my clientsI?ve been bringing my own and my clients? pets to Dr. Baum for about 14 years now. He?s great ?- always gives pets attention?I really trust him with both my own and my clients? pets.
Read More On Citysearch NatalieSits 2/1/2008 - Dr. Baum Saved Two of My Cat Tamba's Nine Lives -- so Far!Several years ago I was at my wit's end because my wonderful cat Tamba was suffering from something that was causing her little body to stop functioning -- no eating, no movement of either food or drink through her. The vet I had been going to had no idea of what to do, nor did another I tried in desperation.
Then, thank heaven, I was told about Dr. Baum. I was immediately impressed by his ca...
Read More On Citysearch inawoof 1/2/2008 - Avoid , a dangerous establishmentAbsolutely filthy. People were returning their dogs after boarding with kennel cough. I brought my cat in the morning to be chipped and by the afternoon he was ill. I waited for over 6 hours to see a vet as a walk in and I was under going chemotherapy. The staff was moronic and seemed as though they were using inhalants. I say this having taught high risk students. An ill dog having waited for ov...
Read More On Citysearch noblegases 12/18/2007 - Rude and unprofessionalWe have two puppies which we bring to Center Sinai Pet Hospital for routine vaccinations and I can't say that there's been one pleasant experience... but since they were usually in-n-out visits, we didn't complain. They are reasonably priced, however, completely unprofessional. Our puppy recently suffered from a minor injury and was brought in for an exam and x-rays. We were given a quote over...
Read More On Citysearch simplysoph06 10/15/2007 - inexpensive but not satisfing serviceI wrote a bad review in 10/07 and decided to try this hospital again. I hvae a very good experience this time. My appointment was at 6pm. it wasn't crowded, the staff are friendly (not super friendly, but good enough). I saw Dr. Marissa Williams, who is very patient, answered all our questions, and was not rushing us at all. I saw a staff cleaned the space with alcohol aftre my dog used it, which...
Read More On Citysearch angelhu 10/3/2007 - Used to be the best, but they've gotten greedy and take way too many patientsWhen I moved to this area 4 years ago, a neighbor recommended Dr. Baum. We instantly loved him and his practice. He was very straightforward, knowledgeable, and affordable. Over the past year, I have seen his practice expand to where you have to wait up to 2 hours even if you have an appointment. I recommended him to another neighbor and they waited 1 hour before leaving. It is a shame to se...
Read More On Citysearch jarofstars 12/4/2006 - Best Bird Doctor you can findDr. Spira is very skilled and knowledgeable. She really knows her birds and how to handle their owners. My Umbrella Cockatoo has been seeing Dr. Spira for more than 17 years now, and if she ever retires I don't know what we'll do. My Cockatoo took an immediate liking to her and no matter what type of position Dr. Spira has put her in (on her back and getting a shot) nothing has changed my bird...
