What to Expect at Your First Visit

When you are looking for a veterinary care clinic, you should be able to count on superior care and excellent service. At South Bay Veterinary Care in Gardena, CA, we have assembled an expert team of veterinary professionals to bring you the best possible healthcare for your pet. We have a state-of-the-art veterinary facility that is clean, comfortable, and efficient. Call 310-323-9555 to schedule an appointment, and we will find a time that is convenient for you.

Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam and may include teeth and gum cleaning if needed. Dr. Linda Miyashiro will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to South Bay Veterinary Care for service.

Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It’s best to keep a journal of your pet’s health throughout their life, including behavioral shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team. If not, let us know everything that you think will be important. Dr. Miyashiro can still work with whatever information you have.

In some circumstances, Dr. Miyashiro will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery.

Complete Your New Client Form

To help us prepare for your visit and better understand your pet’s medical history, we encourage all new clients to complete our online New Client Form before their appointment.

Providing detailed information ahead of time allows our veterinary team to deliver more efficient, personalized care from the moment you arrive.
