Dr. Rana and staff are without a doubt the best Vet hospital we have found in the Langley area and we looked. Our last dog Keba was given relief on our very first visit and one more year of good life from the progressing heart murmur he was suffering from because of Dr. Rana. We will be forever grateful. Other vets just wanted to test him out endlessly without relief, or euthanized. We know our new dog Puppet is in very good hands. Pricing of service is very good compared to others.

My family and I have been taking our pets to Dr.Rana for over 20 years. Amazing vet who cares for each and every animal as they are his own. Always patient, professional and pets best interest at heart. Never have to worry about care and more importantly cost. Dr.Rana is amazing and highly recommend to everyone and anyone.

Dr. Rana is THE BEST, NO QUESTION! I want to share our story in hopes it makes a difference for other families out there. Rani, our fur baby princess, got a lesion on Christmas Day. We took her to an ER vet. On the ultrasound they found a large mass 8cm in diameter attached to her spleen and a 9cm mass that appeared attached to her aorta. They told us she had 2 weeks to live. Looking at her she expressed zero signs of suffering. So we got a second, third and fourth opinion. Dr. Rana was the 4th. He reviewed her file and said 'maybe they are wrong, there are multiple ways to interpret this ultrasound'. We agreed to exploratory surgery, which revealed that in fact the second tumour was attached to the first and considered 'free floating'. They removed the tumours and spleen. They documented everything and keeping us informed every step of the way. We had a follow up ultrasound 3 months later and she was free of any tumours. THE BEST! It's now 6 months and she still behaves like a puppy!

STAY AWAY!! Short woman with black curly hair was extremely unethical. Thinking she is the owner and veterinarian, as there was no other staff. My husband and I stopped in as it was an emergency as our dog was swarmed by bees and bitten 3 times and her face, eyes, mouth and paw were swelling fast. She saw my dog as I was holding her and this woman bluntly stated, "I Don't Have Time To See Her Today" (no customers and parking lot was empty) This was an emergency and she could see my dog was having a bad allergy attack and that her face was swelling fast but didn't even have the heart to take a quick look at her. This woman turned away an animal in distress. If my dog died,I would have sued her for negligence, animal cruelty! We rushed our dog to the Langley 24 hour emergency hospital and they gave her an antihistamine and steroid,once the swelling came down around her throat, they said we could take her home, thanks to caring and loving people! I DO NOT RECOMMEND APEX ANIMAL HOSPITAL!

Thanks Dr Rana and staff for helping to give us extra time with our precious dog Keba. We are ever so thankful to have you guys. We were so close to losing our 12 year old Keba but thanks to you and the weekly abdomen draining and meds on Keba he is able to stay in our lives. Having this extra time with Keba is helping prepare us for losing him in the future. Not looking forward to that. Blessings and appreciation

I feel very lucky to have been introduced to this amazing clinic and Dr. Rana and awesome team by my dog trainer/personal friend Jorge (Marker Dog Training). My Akbash Sheepdog is doing very well recovering from an emergency surgery performed by Dr Rana and his assistants. In June 2020 my 12 year old large dog had a small lump...In August he went to another different Vet to have it checked out as it was growing very rapidly and was now already too large for them to remove. Another couple months went by and the tumour had grown to probably double the size. I explained to Jorge the situation and he referred us to Dr Rana who was able to see my dog promptly. After an ultrasound and a few other tests Dr Rana performed a miracle surgery and removed a 20 pound tumour from my dogs stomach muscle. Without skin grafts. My dog is recovering very well already and now has a new lease on life thanks to Dr Rana's expertise. I cant recommend Dr Rana enough. Trustable-Professional-Authentic- Saviour.

Our 4 yr. old Bulldog was born at Apex Animal Hospital, and has lovingly been cared for by Dr. Rana ever since. He has been under anesthesia 4 times, and we have always had full confidence in DR. Rana's care of our dog. Dr. Rana has a very gentle manner and he spends time explaining and drawing the surgical procedures so it can be understood. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else, as we feel our dog is in the best place, with the best veterinary care possible.

Dr Rana went above and beyond for my dog. He explains things in layman terms and in detail. He is also very reasonable and fair with his charges. I am so glad I was referred to him and I would not go anywhere else!

I have been going to this vet for several years and it has been an awesome experience. I have two rescue cats(one senior) and Dr Rana and staff have been very helpful and compassionate. Dr Rana is very experienced and is always very fair and does not do unecessary things that i find some other vets do. He and his staff are always so patient and i love that he helps out local rescue animals as well. My cats feel very at ease with him and his staff and so do I! thank you Apex animal hospital for all you do.

I want to thank Dr.Rana and his staff for the phenomenal honesty and treatment of our English mastiff.I came to Dr.Rana devastated at the quote we had to remove a tumor off our dog from another place this was his 3 rd tumor and our previous surgery a year before cost us $ 4700.00 and the quote we were given was not much less this time I wish I knew about this wonderful man before.He listened to me in his lobby and told me to bring my dog on a couple days later he performed surgery that day and got the tumor and I was shocked at the price he gave us less than a quarter of the previous surgery this man gave us hope that we could save our boy within an affordable price.But it was also his care I saw he truly cared and that we and our dog were not another price tag.Dr Rana you are a true blessing to this community and you will be the only vet that will be seeing to our fur family. I cant say enough about this man and his staff truly thankful for them God bless you

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Rana & his staff. I volunteer for a rabbit rescue and Dr. Rana has gone out of his way many times to help us with sick rabbits who needed to be seen ASAP. His knowledge and compassion for these sick & injured rabbits is amazing.
He went above and beyond when we were hit with the recent outbreak of Rabbit virus. He donated his time to help vaccinate over 400 rabbits. How many vets would do that?
I wouldn’t hesitate to take any animal in to see Dr. Rana at Apex Animal Hospital.

I've been happy with other clinics and I've given them five stars, but Apex and Dr. Rana remain the best of all. I've had a lot of experience bringing cats and rabbits there and they are awesome. I wish there was a 10 star rating.

After a devastating accident with our family dog right before the holidays, we rushed to the closest animal hospital for emergency care. Fortunately, this is where we met Dr. Rana and his amazing staff and we couldn't be happier with the service and care we received during such a difficult time for our family. Dr. Rana is by far the most genuine, compassionate and caring vets we have ever met. He is honest, skillful and as he is not motivated by money, was able to give our pet the emergency care it needed at a cost we could afford. I will recommend Dr. Rana and his practice to anyone we know moving forward and look forward to having him care for all of our pets in the future.

I just started bringing my cat and kitten to see Dr Rana. I recommend this vet as he is very kind and takes the time to explain things clearly. I also really like that he is very thorough but also does not run unnecessary tests. The staff at the desk are very helpful as well and great with the animals. Thank you Apex Animal Hospital for the care you provide.

I first went to see Dr. Rana immediately after I was inappropriately sent home with my gravely ill puppy from my previous veterinarian. My 18 week old German Shepherd had ingested a natural calming supplement in a large quantity inadvertently and was hyperthermic, unconscious and unresponsive. Thanks to Dr. Rana searching journal articles and research, he was able to find an antidote and save his life. I will be forever grateful for the kind, genuine and expert care we received from him and his fantastic support staff. Everyone treated my dog like they were there own. I will never take any of my animals to any other vet.

Dr Rana's professionalism and extensive knowledge in this profession is quite evident, when one visits his clinic. We have been taking our Dog, Teddy to Dr Rana's clinic for years now, it's amazing to see his passion toward his work. He genuinely cares about your pet and gives you the best advise (possible at the moment). Dr Rana's great personality and great work ethics makes him stand out in the crowd! We highly recommend his clinical services to anyone who is looking to have their pet in the best care(in the event of any illness). More than anything he is a great human being!

Dr Rana and staff are amazing. In December our 7 yr old Doberman was diagnosed with cancer and Dr Rana got her in the next day to perform her surgery. We felt so comfortable leaving her with his staff as they were so friendly and Dr Rana's compassion for our girl gave us comfort knowing she would be in great hands. We love his clinic as he is up to date with all the latest medical innovations. Also we were so happy to learn that he has an Animal Emergency Clinic in Abbotsford which gives us peace of mind if anything were to happen to our beloved dogs after hours.

Its very hard finding a good rabbit vet, and we will travel from Vancouver to Langley with our rabbit rescue bunnies to see Dr. Rana. He is truly awesome. (Knowing he now has a clinic in Abbotsford has made us take on a rabbit rescue project out there as well). :)

My dog got warts which began block his ear. A vet that had already charged me $800 told me to see a surgeon and expect to pay $3,500 - $4,000 to have the ear totally closed. Dr. Rana removed the warts and saved the ear for less than $1000. He followed that with 5 checkups where he cleaned the ear and did not charge anything. Dr. Rana offers excellent value for the money and demonstrates great service.

I brought my dog in after she was attacked by another dog. I thought for sure she would lose her eye but Dr.Rana was excellent! Being an animal owner my whole life and seeing huge vet bills and excellent to horrible vets throughout my life I can honestly say this place was extremely professional, helpful and didn't charge me an outrageous "emergency fee." I highly recommend them!

Dr. Rana had looked after our Maltese, Tico, for many years when we lived in Langley amd we were always 100% satisfied with his professional and skilled care. We now live in Kelowna and have a Yorkie, Moxie. While visiting in the Lower Mainland recently Moxie suffered a serious eye injury; his left eye was pushed out of the socket, tearing muscles. Although it appeared to be beyond repair, Dr. Rana acted quickly and successfully, setting the eye back in the socket and administered the necessary stitches, meds and care. After 10 days under his watchful eye he came home to Kelowna. Now 3 months later he has a fully functioning and healthy left eye. There is no question, Dr. Rana is a highly skilled and caring professional. If ever there is a serious issue with our dog we will drive down to Langley to Apex . Thank you Dr. Rana!

Dr Rana was amazing with me and my 2 year old ragdoll that somehow broke his hip. Through the process he was very reassuring and calming both with me and him. I would recommend this vet. He also is working on the best recovery program with me that will help with the outcome. So in saying that "Thanks for everything Dr.Rana"

When I realized that my 9 year old Border Collie/Healer girl had a large mass in her mouth, my first thought was cancer. I contacted a friend who runs the Cocker Spaniel Rescue in BC to ask if she knew anything about oral cancer. She referred me to Dr. Rana. At our appointment I told him I suspected cancer. He agreed and told me exactly what options we had for surgery. They also would do pre-op x-rays and blood work to determine if the cancer had spread. We opted for the assessments and surgery. My dog had a full removal of her lower jaw. The cancer had been very invasive. Dr. Rana's skill as a diagnostician and surgeon saved our Meg. I don't believe that another vet could have performed the surgery as skillfully and successfully as he did. And having the ability to x-ray and do blood work on site, told us instantly that her lungs and organs were clear of cancer. Meg has completely recovered and has adjusted to licking up her mushy food. We are so grateful for Dr. Rana. Thank You!

I had a Shepherd mix who tore his anterior cruciate. I brought him in the afternoon to have him examined. Within half an hour he was diagnosed had his x-ray done and stayed overnight (I was not charged for the overnight wait) so the surgery could be done first in the morning. Later the same dog developed liver cancer. They had all the equiptment needed to analyze blood work, run an x-ray and perform an ultrasound in one visit. I never felt pressured into doing any procedure. I had dealt with pretty much all the vets in Langley but none of them came close to Dr. Rhana. I now live in the North and often tell people that one of my greatest worries is that my dog will become seriously ill and I will have to drive 18hours to get to Dr Rhana's clinic.

Dr. Rana is the singel reason our 17 year old male cat is still alive. We took Phantom to numerous vets and they all said it was hopeless, he was old, it was cancer just wait for the end . Dr Rana performed laser surgery, removed the cancer and Phantom thinks he is a kitten. that was in 2009. Dr Rana treats my son's service dog Party and our little mix. he is compassionate, kind, honest and expert in many areas. T me he is like St Francis with animals. God Bless Dr Rana

After bringing Doug(ChihuahuaXJack Russell) to Dr Rana for an unrelated incident, we were told that Doug's anal issues were being mistreated. We had been treating it through medication for over 6 months with our previous vet. Dr R said he knew that Doug had anal fistulas that would most likely need to be operated on to take out. He said if left, it would eventually cause tail amputation and/or death. We knew Doug was in a lot of pain over his anal issues and were willing to do whatever it took to make him happy again. After a quick trial of intense medication, Dr R said it was best to operate, so Doug went in for the procedure. We picked him up the next day and he was already in a happier mood. His character quickly improved, as did his bum. We are incredibly happy with what Dr R did for us. Doug has seen him a few times before for blood infections, etc, and he has always helped Doug then too. If it wasn't for Dr R, we would probably still be dealing with anal issues. Thank you Dr Rana

Assistant/Front desk was extremely inadequate. Didn't seem very knowledgeable when I asked her questions regarding the up selling she was pushing and reasons why it was necessary. Extremely frustrating when she didn't listen to what I WANTED done as opposed to more pointless procedures to make the visit more than triple I was quoted on the phone. They also called me three times during the surgery to try and add extras on my bill. I don't appreciate her questioning my answer as why or why not I didn't want something done. I have another vet, I came to you for a specific reason do what your told and don't push me to get more than what I came for. Such a bad experience. Would not recommend to anyone.

Dr. Rana has been treating my pets since 2002 and my family’s pets for many years before that. I have even kept him as our vet since my move from Langley to Vancouver City over 5 years ago, which means driving 45-60 minutes for treatment. But it’s worth it to us because we know that when Dr. Rana is treating our pets, they will be cared for to the fullest extent. He keeps you informed through his treatments, so you can have choices and comfort. While doing such a great job, he still somehow manages to keep things affordable. He gives your pet everything they need with his exceptional knowledge and kind heart. Dr. Rana and his team are the reason why many of our pets are alive and healthy to this day. He has even come to open his clinic for us in the middle of the night for one of our pet’s emergencies – which I think is amazing! I would highly recommend Apex Animal Hospital to anyone who wants to be treated with compassion and honesty, and who wants exceptional care for their pets.

We got 2 kittens from an animal rescue person. They began developing problems within the week we got them (pneumonia, eye infections, viral infections, etc.). Dr. Rana took the time and the energy to explain their problems and come up with medical solutions. Henry and Reilly are now on the path to total recovery with Dr. Rana's help. Thank you for your help with our new members of our family.

I am grateful I found this wonderful vet, whose judgement I can completely trust. He is the best in the field: most experienced and intelligent vet, and also a fine person with a kind heart. Dr. Rana makes sure that we understand what's going on, and he takes time to explain with such earnest and patience. His way of care is so thoughtful and practical. You can trust he will find and choose the best way to deal with the issue, and no single unnecessary procedure will be done to you pet. I think it's an amazing combination of qualities we can ever ask for a doctor: technical and intellectual expertise & kindness and conscientiousness. We are so lucky to have him as our vet and I hope my comment will help whoever is looking for a truly excellent vet.

We have been with Dr. Rana for 16 years and highly recommend him to everyone! Our rotweiller needed knee replacement surgery and Dr. Rana allowed us to make payments, saving our beloved dog from euthanasia. We are now with him for two new dogs as our two boys sadly passed on from old age. Dr. Rana even met us at his clinic on Thanksgiving Day when a "foster" dog of ours was suffering and was very kind to all of us as we had to say our goodbyes. He does not push procedures on us, he gives us our options, his recommendations, and patiently explains everything to us. We have complete trust in him and his care of our pets, who are a huge part of our family. L. and J. Black

This vet is outstanding. He has saved the lives of many of our rescued dogs. He is very conscientious and supervises all his staff especially new ones. He has filled our dog's Rxs unless a trained staff member is there and they do it. He is frequently getting upgraded in areas such as Cardiac illnesses and orthopaedic surgeries and the like. I would recommend him to anyone.His post graduate training at Purdue University puts him above and beyond many out there, in my opinion.
