The experience of an emergency hospital, with the warmth of your family veterinarian. full-service and urgent care in the heart of La Jolla.
We built Pearl Street Pet Hospital for the moments that matter most — the ones where you need a doctor who will slow down, ask better questions, and actually look. You’ll notice the difference the moment you walk in: soft light, a quiet lobby, and a team that isn’t rushing to the next room. Behind that calm is a genuinely advanced hospital — in-house diagnostics, digital imaging, and same-day ultrasound, so most answers arrive while you’re still here, not days later.
A calmer, more considered kind of veterinary medicine.
Welcome To Pearl Street Pet Hospital
“I wanted to practice medicine the way I’d want it for my own animals — carefully, honestly, and without the clock running the room.”
A US- and UK-licensed veterinarian with 16 years of experience across emergency and general practice, and postgraduate training in diagnostic imaging (PgC DI), Dr. Mandeville brings hospital-grade expertise to everyday care — and takes the time to explain it plainly. No jargon, no pressure. Just a clear plan and a partner in your pet’s health.
