Hillcrest Pet Hospital, affectionately named for the mountains surrounding it, has been serving the greater Los Angeles area since being founded in 1959 in Glendale, California by Dr. Saya. Dr. Saya was Hillcrest’s beloved doctor for over 30 years. Dr. Fries was Hillcrest’s beloved doctor for over 40 years. Dr. Odet Kaspari-Chiriboga became the new owner of Hillcrest Pet Hospital in July 2021 and is beyond thrilled to care for Hillcrest’s adored pets.
We feel blessed to have been grandfathered in to a residential area and are surrounded by fantastic neighborhoods such as Whiting Woods, Oakmont Woods, Sparr Heights and Montrose.
We are conveniently located on the cross streets of Honolulu and La Crescenta close to downtown Montrose, right off Interstate 210.
