Client Reviews

Very nice veterinary doctor 👌. Dog very comfortable with exams today.

Amazing staff, doctor and nurse very professional, caring and helpful. Definitely recommended.

Everyone was friendly and kind. All of our questions were answered and everything was thoroughly explained.

We can't put into words how thankful we are for All Creatures. From the front desk staff, to the vet techs, to the skilled doctors, every single one of them is top notch. Our corgi had a complicated emergency surgery by Dr. Gelfand & needed a lot of follow up care and medications. They were sure to get him right in each time he needed to come back for follow ups. Dr. Gelfand checked in on him every day. A special thank you to vet tech Jackie. We owe her our lives for medicating our dog when he was not making it easy (ready to attack us due to being on lots of meds!) and easing our minds when we were worried. We would still use All Creatures even if we lived an hour away, but it just makes it even better they are just a few blocks from us. I would recommend them to anyone & will continue to do just that. THANK YOU GUYS. Nicole & Mike Samuels

I moved to Long Beach in 2024 and needed to find a new vet, so I decided to give All Creatures a try. Both of my dogs were treated very well and I never felt like anyone was pushing treatment on me. They educated and advised.In February I had to let one of my dogs go to doggy heaven. This was an extremely difficult decision and I was a mess. I want to say a special thank you to Dr. Gelfand for walking me through the process and especially for his warm words.

I had a wonderful experience at All Creatires & I am changing to them!Dr.Pelligrini & the entire staff are great!

I just had an outstanding experience with my cat’s visit to All Creatures Veterinary today! My cat was treated for a ringworm infection, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism we received. The veterinarian was incredibly thorough, explaining the entire treatment plan and ensuring that I felt confident in the next steps for my cat's recovery. The staff was welcoming, and the clinic was spotless, creating a calm and reassuring atmosphere. My cat was treated with such kindness and attention to her comfort throughout the process. I am so grateful for the compassionate and knowledgeable team for providing such exceptional care. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier veterinary.

Friendly caring people that I have been visiting for many years.

The doctors and staff are extremely compassionate and accommodating. Dr. Gelfand who treated my cat is very experienced, kind and explained everything I should be aware of concerning diagnosis and treatment. Any pet is in very qualified hands with this wonderful office. Dennis Berkowsky

I want to say thank you to the staff and doctor for their kind handling and for dedicating their time to help save my Yorkshire terriers from a near death experience. They were kind, caring and compassionate during the whole process and though it took me a while to write this review… I live through everyday grateful for the staff there. Niklaus, King Blue, and I truly appreciate you guys. God bless you all♥️♥️

Bella is 13 and I have been bringing her to All Creatures since she was a puppy! She always receives great care and attention! Thank you All Creatures!

We love everyone at All Creatures! The staff is the best and take excellent care of our Sunny girl 🙂

They have been the vets for my animals for over 25yrs

As always, Dr. Geltman and crew has always done a great job taking care of our 2 dogs over the years.

Love this vet for our dog. This is our first family pet, and the staff are kind, clearly love animals, and the doctors and nurses are very knowledgeable. I love how they work together as a team and interact with our (very big) puppy. We have even used the boarding services for about 5 night stay, and he came home happy, energy spent in the best way, and squeaky clean.

Thank you sooooooo much for saving my elder dog for the second time. Caring and knowledgeble Vets and amazing staff.

Front desk staff is incredible, doctors are extremely smart and caring.

Everyone is helpful and wonderful! My new puppy felt comfortable in their care and so did I! Highly recommend!!!!

The doctors and the staff are incredibly caring and patient. It is also a very clean facility. We have been using them for all of our pets' needs for the last 23 years.

I want to say thank you to the staff and doctor for their kind handling of the end of life process for our senior furbaby. They were kind, caring and compassionate during the whole process and sent a thoughtful card after. We truly appreciate you

Even though I was not previously a long term client, I was seen the day I called, which I am grateful for. All staff members were warm, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I will be using this practice from now on!

Excellent care. Staff and vets are compassionate, efficient, and honest. Facility is clean and comfortable.

All Creatures is THE BEST!! From the front desk staff to the vet techs in back and the excellent veterinarians this is the only team I trust to take care of my best buddy, Duke the pug. His favorite vet, Dr. Gelfand, is kind, caring, smart, and experienced. His love of animals comes through in every interaction.

Dr Gelfand has been my vet nearly 40 years- he truly cares and is always on top of newest meds and procedures. I put my dogs in his hands- and that’s saying a lot!

I have been taking my pets to All Creatures for over 30 years. My experience has always been one that is caring, compassionate and competent. In response to other reviewers regarding numerous tests being performed, if our pets could talk and tell us what is wrong with them, testing would be kept to a minimum. But they don't talk so a guessing game begins and testing is the only way to find the answers. I have dealt with specialists outside of this clinic for specific surgeries and I can tell you first hand, they charge exorbitant prices and make sure you know that they are running a business and their business comes before your pet and your pocketbook. I had one specialist tell me, "get out your credit card and max it out to give your dog this surgery". So as far as prices at All Creatures, you get what you pay for and at All Creatures knowing my pets are in competent and knowledgeable hands is worth every dollar I pay them. They also have a business to run, but you are never made to feel that their business comes before your pet. I have NEVER had a bad experience with any member of this clinic. From their front desk, to the vet techs, to the kennel staff, to the doctor, I am always greeted with respect, kindness and compassion. Even in stressful times when my pets are sick or injured, I never forget that this staff consist of people and I never forget my manners and always return the respect I receive. I highly recommend All Creatures.

You guys are great. Awesome bedside manners. We feel Jack is in good hands when he visits! Thank you!

Finn had wonderful care at All Creatures. Dr. Gelfand understood his problem and gave him medications to promote his healing. Dr. Gelfand took the time to explain the situation and to answer all of my questions without rushing me. I highly recommend Dr. Lee Gelfand for your pet's care.

All creatures have been our vetenarians for the past 28 years. The doctors along with the staff have been caring and wonderful to my three boys. My husband and I would highly recommend their services to anybody.

Have had animals for many years and have been to different vets. Never met a kinder staff! So glad I found them!!! They take the stress away and are so good with my dogs and cats! Very knowledgeable as well.

Dr Gelfand has been our vet for thirty years, and now that we have our third toy poodle, we hope he has no plans on retiring. Kind, caring, compassionate and yes, he will call you back if you have a question. The office staff is a pleasure to work with and the facilities are lovely. Not the cheapest vet in town but definitely worth the extra.

Great care and great staff. Very friendly. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend All Creatures! Everyone from the front staff, to the nurses and techs and of course all of the vets are amazing. We have seen every vet there and they all have taken very good care of my senior dog. We typically see Dr. Pellegrini and he is so smart and kind. Thank you to everyone at All Creatures, we appreciate you and will always recommend you!

My Joey is almost 15, the staff are patient with him and gentle, he deserves that. The doctor is thorough, informative and he cares. The assistants are great and so are the women at front desk, I hardly ever have to wait when we have an appointment Thank you

the doctor was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate as well as very thorough. he spent more than an hour at our visit and answered all my questions. very happy with all creatures, have been bringing my family pets here for over 20 years

Very friendly staff. S/O Adele at the front desk. Vets and staff are professional and engaging. Happy to have found this office in Long Beach. Plowtus and Shlomo are too.

Friendly and knowledgable staff from the moment you enter the building until the time you leave!!

The entire staff, not only the doctors make you feel comfortable and confident in the care of your pet. The doctors are knowledgeable, kind and considerate. They treat your pet as they would treat their own. If you want peace of mind and know that your pet is in excellent hands, look no farther than All Creatures.

When you get hard to hear news about your pup, you need a doctor with compassion to guide you through the tough times. That’s how I felt about the care team at All Creatures. They keep me updated and as we all know, the waiting is the hardest part.

All creatures in Long Beach is an outstanding veterinary hospital. Their doctors and staff are professional and caring. They go out of their way to give you the best care for your pet. I would recommend them to all.

Best veterinary hospital ever. The most skilled, compassionate, kind and loving doctors and staff! I drive over 35 minutes to go there. Did I mention they saved my huskys life when 3 other veterinarians couldn't figure out what was wrong. They have nicknamed him now "the miracle dog". Thank you for all you do!
