"What can I say...Simon Veterinary employs ANGELS. This is a group of the most caring people I have ever met. They took amazing care of my fur baby. She is a rescue who rescued me. She developed a large tumor on her stomach and I was devastated. Then I read about Simon Vet — emailed Sunday night and she had surgery on Wednesday. Now, one month later my 9 year old love is a puppy again! Thank you so much SimonVet and Nathan, you are the best!"

Dr. Patricia Simon holds a DVM from Michigan State University, a Master of Public Health, and is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine.

Yes, we work with all major pet insurance providers. We'll provide detailed invoices and medical records for your claim. Our flat-rate pricing makes it easy to know exactly what to submit. Many clients find our transparent pricing helps with faster claim processing.
We serve all of Greater Los Angeles from our two locations. This includes Lynwood, Sherman Oaks, Compton, Downey, Bell Gardens, South Gate, Encino, Studio City, Van Nuys, and surrounding communities. We accept surgical referrals from veterinarians throughout Southern California.
Referring vets can email case details to info@simonvetsurgical.com or call us directly. We schedule most referrals within the same week. After surgery, we return complete case notes and imaging so you can continue as the primary care provider. Your client never feels handed off.
Cold laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation at the cellular level. Unlike medications that just mask pain, laser therapy actually speeds healing. Sessions take 10-15 minutes and every surgical patient gets one included in their flat-rate package.
We accept CareCredit and can help you apply. Our flat-rate pricing means you know the total cost upfront, making it easier to plan. We also accept all major credit cards, cash, and checks. Payment is due at time of service.
Every patient leaves with detailed written instructions and you get text access to our surgical team until 9pm on surgery days. A free recheck exam is included in your package. As a CCRT, Dr. Simon designs personalized rehab plans for every patient.
Common signs of CCL injury include limping, difficulty standing, swelling around the knee, and decreased activity. We'll review your pet's symptoms and x-rays during the consultation. TPLO is usually recommended for active dogs over 30 pounds with complete CCL tears.
Customer Reviews
Don't take our word for it
"I couldn't be happier with the results! I got lucky my vet referred me to SVS. My dog's health tanked quickly and I needed to get him in for emergency surgery. Nathan was very helpful. They were fully booked, but were able to fit in emergency surgery for that day. They saved Arch! Professional, clean with great results, and he didn't have to spend the night. They provided all his medicine and therapy within one package. Highly recommended!"
"My pup Oliver broke his leg and I was frantic. I happened to find Google reviews on Dr. Simon. After looking at her website, I was shocked that she offered one of the best surgical procedures (TPLO) for an all-inclusive price that provided supplements, cold laser therapy and more. After speaking to Nathan, her practice manager, choosing Dr. Simon was a no-brainer. All of the staff were kind, supportive and helpful. I am truly grateful to Dr. Simon and her staff for helping my pup Oliver return to a life of joyful play and health."
"I recently used Dr. Simon for TPLO surgery on my 70lb husky/malamute mix, Bowie. I can highly recommend her surgical skills, her team of technicians, and master organizer, Nathan. They have made a harrowing experience easier to navigate. I would use them again for future surgeries, should it come to that."
"Dr. Simon is honest, friendly, and definitely the best surgeon around. Her entire staff is caring and very knowledgeable. Dr. Simon removed a mast cell tumor from my dog Ritzy and a month later she was back to her normal life. Thank you Simon Veterinary Surgical for everything you did for Ritzy."
