Who We Are
We are a privately owned, progressive veterinary ophthalmology practice offering comprehensive evaluations, advanced diagnostics (ERG, Gonioscopy, Ocular Ultrasound, etc.) and both medical and surgical therapies (Ciliary Body Ablation, Cryoepilation, Phacoemulsfications, etc.) for our patients. Established in 2013, Integrative Ophthalmology for Pets started out by renting space from various general practice animal clinics in order to have room for exams. As our clientele grew, so did our company. We have moved from renting exam rooms to having our own location near the heart of the Mid-Wilshire district.
Our services include a wide range of integrative therapies, mixing Eastern and Western medical recommendations for our patients. We also promote general ocular wellness and food therapy based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM).
Our Mission Statement
To create a balanced and preventative ocular health care plan based on a thorough ophthalmic examination and recognition of each patient as a whole and unique individual.
We intend to reinforce our commitment daily by:
- Honoring the relationship between our clients and their pets
- Providing the highest quality ophthalmic care and actively engaging clients in their pet’s health care treatment plan
- Promoting education about veterinary ophthalmology and preventative care
- Integrating conventional (‘Western’) and complementary (‘Eastern’) therapies when indicated and appropriate
- Cultivating a positive atmosphere and always maintaining our integrity
I had been very worried about my dog's scratched cornea. The vet recommended taking her to a vet ophthalmologist. The first two referrals were full for 3 weeks. The final one (IOP) was closed for the day on Friday so I left a message. I received a call back on Monday with an appointment for Tuesday--Yay!My doggie ended up having a Linear Grid Keratotomy for her Indolent Erosion (technical terms). She is now on multiple eye drops and oral medications until the follow up visit. I was very impressed with the whole practice. Having all the details emailed post procedure, including medication sheets and notes on pet's condition, was perfect. It also included what to expect in her eye healing over the coming week. It is always nice to be able to read a doctor's notes when you are at home and relaxed vs. any scribbled notes I might make at an appointment while full of anxiety. At this stage, I am very glad the first two offices called were booked:)And check out the boba place across the street. It's really good.
Amy S.1/30/2020Dr. Park is phenomenal! My dog had progressive eye irritation that just kept getting worse. We took her to the regular vet twice before they told us to see an eyes specialist. Dr. Park was able to see us within a couple days and knew what the problem was immediately. She guided us through some more conservative measures and then some stronger medication. She checked in with us via phone and email throughout the process and was always willing to answer questions. It was such a relief to know that our dog was in good hands. Our pup is as good as new now, and we have Dr. Park to thank. I can't recommend her enough!
Lindsay B.3/30/2018Dr. Park is amazing! After going to two different specialists who were very pricey and were basically experimenting on my cat, I found Intergrative Ophthalmology, which is decently priced and incomparable in service to the other two Specialists.From the very first appointment, Dr. Park was very thorough in her examination and explanation to us. She was very supportive and made us feel very comfortable with her level of knowledge and services. We came in very concerned about my cat's Uveitis as it had spread to both of his eyes. Dr. Park followed up consistently with us and was always very responsive to our emails and texts. She answered all of our questions, and has gone above and beyond our expectations.
Abigail G.6/23/2016I got a referral from my regular vet because ulcer on my cat's eye had gotten worse even after 1 wk of treatment. Dr. Park was very thorough explaining what might have happened with his eye. She was so gentle with my cat, I was amazed how calm he was the whole time!! She explained step by step about how she would be treating him and back up options if it didn't work. However after a day of new treatment she prescribed, he is not squinting his eye as much as he did and his energy level is back!! I am SO GRATEFUL that I found Dr. Park! Also she will work with you if you have a pet insurance like I do.
Jessica Y.7/11/2017I was referred by Dr. Shipps Animal Hospital to bring my Dog Hercules he suddenly went blind from one day to another! I was so hurt and heartbroken from being told he was blind and here The Amazing! Dr. Park gave him a 2nd chance she put him on everything that was possible eye meds and oral! She basically said he was gonna be blind and I was okay with that I was prepared mentally. I prayed and prayed everyday and hoped he could see shadows one day we took him back to a follow up appt and he had 90% of his vision back! It was a miracle!! Dr. Park knows what she's doing I'm so grateful she came into our lives! Hercules isint just a pet, he's my first child, my baby, a family member whom we all love. He helped my son take his first steps. Thank You Dr. Park for everything you've done for Hercules we appreciate you and the staff who's so kind and always answer every question I have when I call. (Btw Incase you guys were wondering what was wrong BOTH of his retinas were detached!! HOW? That's the million dollar question but god is good, And Dr. Park knows what she's doing)
Sarai G.5/08/2020Truly a great place for all your dogs eye care needs. Dr. Nancy Park & her staff really care about your pet. In a sea of specialists here in Los Angeles do yourself the trouble and look no further. Like most, I'm very particular about my pets getting the best care - Dr. Park is not only a very intelligent specialist in her field but she has a huge heart and works hard. I drive from Hermosa Beach to the west side because I trust her work so much. Highly recommend.
Julianne A.1/02/2018Last week, we decided to see an ophthalmologist for our one-year old kitten Leo, who had been possibly having some kind of eye infection and cloudy discharge from his left eye on and off since we adopted him last summer. Our primary veterinarian recommended 3 ophthalmologists and we chose Integrative Ophthalmology For Pets. I'm soooo glad we did!!! During the pandemic of COVID-19 and stay-at-home order, they are taking meticulous safety measures for everyone! The ophthalmologist who examined Leo's eye was Dr. Jennifer Sheahan. I am extremely picky and judgemental when it comes to a veterinarian because I only want the very best for my baby. But trust me, SHE IS THE VERY BEST. Period. [...Long version...] Dr. Sheahan explained everything in such an easy way for me to understand, answered all my questions, and offered treatment options and medications, but never once did she pressure me to do anything unnecessary. I greatly appreciated her straight-forwardness and thoughtfulness. She offered professional opinions and respected my decisions as well. After a few minutes of phone conversation, I was 100% convinced that Leo and I had met a super ophthalmologist! Along with Leo's meditations, I received the comprehensive "Medication Sheet" with detailed instructions and preventative care measures! Not only that, Dr. Sheahan kindly sent me such an incredibly detailed "Visit Summary" which consisted of diagnostics, assessment, additional information, food therapy options and treatment plans -- ALL PERSONALIZED FOR LEO!!! These pages of medical reports carefully and thoroughly written by Dr. Sheahan just blew my mind... I had never, ever received anything like this from any other veterinarian! Not only that (again), Dr. Sheahan kindly called me a few days later and asked me how Leo was doing! She had such a heart-warming, kind, personable conversation with me about Leo, and I truly appreciated it. She has a lot other patients but her professionalism and kindness made me feel as if Leo was her only special patient! Thank you very much Dr. Sheahan, for such a loving, professional care for our kitten Leo. He is doing better and we will see you in 2 weeks for checkup! :)
Yuki N.5/04/2020I am so thankful to have found Dr. Park here in Yelp to treat my fur baby who had a bad ulceration on his right eye. I was so scared for him but Dr. Park was very knowledgable and gentle, it gave me comfort and piece of mind that my fur baby will be okay because she will help him get better and he definitely did after multiple eyedrops and oral meds prescribed by her! Dr. Park is definitely not after the money but the welfare of our pets!! I wouldnt be surprised if she gets her own space for her clinic because she deserves it! Thanks to Dr. Park my baby's eye healed up really well! Will definitely recommend her to friends and family!!!
Mrsm M.10/26/2017Our basset hound had a blocked tear duct that required surgery. We compared prices, services and chose this location because for a slight upcharge the services were more significant and required less recovery time. I liked the surgeon, who explained all of the procedure and care after the surgery.The kicker is the when all was said and done, they have me a bill that was significantly less than my initial estimate. So I got a higher quality of service from a specialist for less than their competitor?? Sign me up.
Alex M.7/28/2019This review is long overdue!!! A few years ago my beautiful dog Gizmoe was put under anesthesia for an ear infection. The sedation caused a Severe issue in his left eye. I sought the opinion of 3 veterinarians who all concluded that he had conjunctivitis, but my intuition kept telling me I needed to seek a 4th opinion. I did my research and came across integrative ophthalmology. I contacted the office to schedule an appointment for gizmoe to be seen but Dr. Park was completely booked for the next month or so ( of course she was , she is the best of the best), but thankfully there was a last minute cancellation. Dr. Park was so kind and welcoming. You can immediately see her love for animals. She examined my gizmoe and diagnosed him with a severe eye ulcer. Gizmoe's eye could rupture at any point in time . Surgery wasn't an option as my fur baby had heart disease, so Dr. Park instead created a custom plan for Gizmoe's ulcer . She prescribed medication and Chinese supplements that would be given at home . Not only did Dr. Park explain everything in great detail, but she gave me hope that my gizmoe would be ok , as I was so stressed fearing the worst . Within two weeks I started to see improvement in my babies eye. The ulcer was closing little by little . Dr. Park saved my gizmoes eye. I can't thank Dr. park and her staff enough !!! Those who know me know that gizmoe was my world!! He passed away a month ago from heart disease but I have comfort in knowing, he had the best Doctors! Dr. Park I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for my gizmoe. Thank you for going above and beyond for your patients !!! There aren't enough words to express my gratitude !!!- liann .
Liann V.3/11/2022The staff here treated my dog with such care and kindness. Dr. Park also has a fun and kind personality, you can tell that she truly loves her job. She made everything easy for me to understand and explained the medications perfectly. I also appreciate the new COVID-19 procedures which included social distancing, wearing facemasks, contactless pay, and curbside pick up. Although it's a bit pricey, it is well worth it for the care your pet receives. My overall experience was great and I had no problems at all.
Izzy V.7/01/2020Well where do I start? It has been a long journey with my dog but Dr.Park has been amazing she has gone above and beyond to help out my dog chai get better from last minute appointments to two surgery's.She has done everything possible to make my dog feel better looks like he is finally in the road to recovery fingers and paws cross. I know I can count on her if I encounter a problem with him. She will do anything possible to add me in her scheduled and help me out even If it's last minute. Thank you Dr. Park for not giving up on him we are truly blessed to have found you. People don't waist your time going elsewhere she is amazing,loving and passionate about animals. She will take the time and love with your pet I'm so grateful to have found her for my dogs needs. Thank youAgain for your time and dedication with my pup
Kendra S.8/01/2017I have two doggos that actually come to Dr. Park. I first came across her when I was searching for ophthalmologists on yelp since one of my dogs has a dry eye condition that wasn't getting any better from our regular veterinary care. It's been about 5 months since my doggo has been under her care and my husband and I have seen so much improvement! My primary vet kept telling me his eye was infected and gave him all these eye drops and antibiotics, ugh I am still pissed about it but when we came to Dr. Park she clearly said it's not infected and gave him the right treatment plan. I'm glad he is doing so much better now. My other dog also had a mass/wart sort of thing coming out from her eyelid and recently had a procedure to get it removed. I am definitely one of those crazy dog moms out there so it's a lot for me to trust someone with my babies. Dr. Park has great bedside manner - a very gentle and sweet woman that explains things thoroughly. I also like that she has in-depth questionnaires about your dog and you can see what kind of element your dog is, "water" "fire", etc. and how their diet is the first step in bettering their health. She actually got us to switch to human-grade food and not kibbles and we've also seen improvement in their stool and overall energy. I would definitely recommend Dr. Park!
Frances M.7/20/2019Dr. Park is absolutely fantastic! Seriously, she's more thorough, knowledgable and caring than most people doctors I have been to. I have an older pug that developed extremely sudden cataracts due to her diabetes. I found Dr. Park on a veterinary ophthalmology site and took a chance giving her a ring and I'm so glad I did. She was able to fit me in right away and took the time to talk to me about my dog's health and ask me questions over the phone, after the phone conversations she sent me new patients forms to fill out before our arrival that even asked about my dog's personality and temperament.The first appointment went smoothly, we were seen right away with no wait at all. Dr. Park did a thorough examination and explained to us every option available, she was very understandable of our finances and did not try to push the expensive surgery option on us at all. At the end of the exam she even gave us lists and suggestions of food we might try to incorporate into my dog's diet that would be good for her specific health issues. Later that day we were very pleasantly surprised to get a summary email that she had taken the time to write up with everything we had discussed in the appointment.Unfortunately, my dog managed to scratch her eye pretty badly after her first appointment and we have been back to see Dr. Park three more times. She has always made herself readily available and responds quickly to any and all questions or concerns we have. If your pet has any eye issues, she is definitely the doctor to go see!
Jackie T.2/16/2016My 7 year old French bulldog started to lose his vision suddenly. The primary vet suggested that we take him to see an opthamologist to figure out exactly what was going on. We took him to one locally and wasn't given a clear explanation. The doctor briefly examined our dog and told us our dog was blind as a bat and there was nothing we could do. He had no compassion and didn't have a plan to figure out what was going on. I knew I had to get a second opinion elsewhere. After browsing on Yelp, I found Dr. Park. I left a voicemail on Friday and received a call back the following week due to them being closed weekends. They were able to see us the following day. I drove about 1.5 hours there. After our visit with Dr. Park, I had hope that she would be able to help my dog. She was kind, compassionate, and throughly explained what was going on. We haven't figured out how my dog started to lose his vision, but she has him on a treatment plan. She took time to explain everything and I was able to be on a video zoom while my dog was being evaluated. Its hard going through this, but Dr. Park gave me hope again. We will be returning in two weeks for a follow up. I want to thank her and her staff for the service they provided. I highly recommend this place !!
Michelle T.1/20/2022Can't be more thankful to have found Dr. park and her staff as they made this gut wrenching situation easier for me to handle and deal with.The whole process was nothing but smooth sailing with my Shih Tzu having an unexpected allergic reaction to the Lidocaine but these guys provided stellar aftercare of him AND me (a typical hysterical freaking out mommie).1. Their office is super clean, high tech and well stocked regardless of the size (which happens to be also located in a super cute location).2. The doctor has an awesome demeanor that exudes her genuine love for animals, and explains everything thoroughly in plain English. She's gentle when handling your pet and very knowledgeable!3. The staff are super friendly and personable (although my dog wasn't too fond of the tech after the procedure, but can you blame him?)4. They're totally fair and honest with their prices and billing practices.5. They were above and beyond my expectations in keeping communication easy since it didn't matter if it was weekend, holiday or outside of normal business hours! Thank you Dr Park, Elias, and Melissa! You guys are the best!!
Suzie K.3/21/2022Dr. Park is the BEST! She has been seeing our dog since 2015, and because of her, his eyes are in the best condition they could be. She is thorough and thoughtful in her examination, diagnosis, and follow up. I am grateful for Dr. Park and everything she has done for our dog to make him comfortable and happy.
Yvonne L.1/18/2019Dr. Park did an amazing job helping me and my dog through a very difficult time. I could not recommend her highly enough. I trust her completely with all my animal ophthalmology needs. Dr. Park has an incredibly calming way with the animals. My dog can be difficult. She is very stubborn and lets people know when she doesn't like something. But Dr. Park handled her better than any vet ever has in her nearly 14 years of life.Dr. Park also truly cares about her patients, and it makes such a difference. I have a phobia of eye related injuries and issues. And Dr. Park was incredibly helpful and patient as we dealt with my dog's serious glaucoma and eventual eye removal. She was always available by text, email and phone. She checked in on us regularly. She made herself completely available. I always felt that she was doing her very best for us and that she was with us every step of the way.Finally, it goes without saying, but Dr. Park is an incredibly skilled ophthalmologist. I always felt that she knew exactly what to do next to try to save my dog's vision and eye. She took excellent care of my dog throughout the long process of dealing with her glaucoma.I hope you won't need ophthalmology services for your animal, but if you do, Dr. Park is person to see.
Jessica L.3/15/2016Great doctor, location, and people. The appointments actually start on time so there is no waiting and one of the best pet eye doctors in LA by far! My dog had a double cherry eye surgery that Dr. Park did such a wonderful job fixing my little guy. A+++ Highly Recommend!!!!
Kameron Pearson10/28/2019Came into Dr. Park for a second opinion on my dogs eyes. First I went to a local vet because it was close to where I live and I'm new to LA. The local vet suggested that my only option was to remove my dogs eyes because of glaucoma! I was so upset I started searching for more options and saw such good reviews of Dr. Park. It was definitely worth the drive to come see her. She gave my more options of saving and treating my dogs eyes without removal of them. I was so relieved, she was so kind and helpful to me and my dog. Explained everything so well for me to understand. Got her on meds for a tenth of the price the other vet suggested! Dr. Parks staff is very helpful and friendly, also their facility was very clean.
Angie L.11/01/2018Our Pitbull mix Dollar, for about three years, had an issue with his right eye that made him tear up and squint. We took him to Dr. Park two years ago and he was diagnosed with entropion but we were very hesitant to commit to surgery. Instead of steamrolling our concerns about surgery, Dr. Park and her wonderful vet techs tried everything to allay his eye issue non-surgically and recommended diet tips as well (Dollar also has a lot of skin allergies). Finally we decided the only way to truly fix his condition was with surgery and now he's doing much better! They were very transparent and upfront with what the procedure would involve and the cost. All our questions and concerns were answered promptly and they were wonderful handling our dog, who is not the easiest dog to deal with (he's super energetic and strong). I'm really happy to see both of Dollar's eyes again and I'm very pleased that his recovery went pretty smoothly. I also appreciate how after every visit you get emailed a very thorough recap of what was discussed. These are people who truly care and want the best for your pet. Thank you so much Dr. Park!
Sara S.2/15/2019I took my senior dog to Dr. Park knowing that there would probably wasn't much in the way of improving his condition, but wanted to make sure he wasn't in any pain and thought it prudent to check if there was a way to preserve the sight in one of his eyes. I wish I had gone much sooner! Regular vets told me for years that my dog had issues with his eyes, but never mentioned any actions that could be taken to treat them or prevent further deterioration. So, if that is your situation, just make an appointment and get clear on what your options are. Dr. Park was very clear, professional, and efficient. The office is remarkably organized and clean. The office staff are informed and kind. I received a full report of everything that was discussed the very next day!!! This is proof of how serious this doctor is.
Crys W.5/17/2019Still 5 stars, Dr Nancy is great, patient in explanting to dog parents and I noticed they have a new online confirmation system for appointments. I also appreciate that they are prompt in responding to emails and sent me my invoices and treatment report quickly. Parking is a little tight in the lot so come prepared for that.
Arielle V.2/02/2019I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. I've taken my Pugs a few times and I was recommended by another pug owner and I can't rave enough about not only the way Dr Park has been able to help us cure and manage some issues on our dog, but also the amazing service, friendliness and overall care she puts to what she does. I would never take my dogs anywhere else!
Dan C.2/26/2020Dr. Park and her staff are great! Dr. Park took the time to do a thorough examination of my senior dog, Alfie. She also took the time to explain every aspect of her findings. I also received very detailed exam notes that also included diet recommendations to help his eyesight. I was very impressed and so happy that I found her. We are continuing therapy on Alfie and his eyes are sooooo much better!!!! Very thankful. I definitely recommend her.
