Animal Hospitals near Aliso Viejo

“They took us in for a late walk in when my own vet was unavailable. They ask a lot of questions so they are thorough in wanting to figure out what we have been experiencing. They are caring and friendly not only with us but also with our fur son. They even do follow up calls…so appreciated!“

“I've been with Alicia Pet Care for many years, going back to the original location on Alicia Parkway. They have always been kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The explanations on the care and treatment of my pets have always been clear and thorough. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.“

“Our usual vet was temporarily closed, so we came here with our giant baby, and we were really happy with how much they were able to accommodate his… particular needs. They were so great about showing this 131 pound goober plenty of patience and love despite his freak outs. 12/10! Highly recommend!“

“The doctors & staff at South Orange County Animal Hospital are very caring & helpful.“

“I am extremely grateful for the outstanding treatment and supportive care my dog received, a testament to exceptional teamwork and communication. Dr. Walker, your professionalism and consistent updates were truly appreciated throughout this entire process. Given the complexities of my dog's chronic medical conditions, your skill in navigating her treatment was remarkable, further enhanced by your proactive consultation with Dr. Cieplucha regarding MJ’s diabetes. Dr. Walker excelled at keeping me informed at every step – from the initial concerns, through surgery, recovery, and upon the return of the pathology report. His thorough communication and willingness to address all my anxieties, particularly surrounding the surgery, were incredibly reassuring. Thank you for your expertise and dedication.“

“I've been going to this clinic for a year with my senior kitties.

General info:
Appointment costs are reasonable if not a bit cheaper than surrounding clinics, which is great.
The clinic is busy, but they're always able to get you in for a sudden appointment if necessary, which I'm grateful for at times when my pets had concerning health issues arise. They always try to accommodate you. There are many vets at the clinic (I've met with at least 4-5), so you'll likely visit different vets each time unless your pet has a health issue, which means you'll see the same vet until it's resolved.
Everyone is friendly and lovely and you don't feel rushed when you have an appointment. *Note: We are the voice for our pets health, so still, make sure you ask all the questions and do whatever you need for your pet, including following up on results for tests, etc.
Because all these vets come from different backgrounds, at this clinic, I've experienced different consultations: vets with firm beliefs and who make immediate diagnoses and vets who advocate doing your own research (which i appreciate) and who consider any and all options before confirming anything. My experiences with most of the vets have been pleasant, but these differences naturally have us inclined toward favoring some vets at the practice more than others.

Personal story:
First, it was an annual exam, then it was my calico's unfortunate diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Later, my tuxedo kitty was suffering from her mouth and because they didn't have any immediate dental care openings, they insisted upon her being checked by a dental specialist at a specialist clinic and we found she had terminal cancer. I'm grateful they did not make us wait. Her loss hurts us still to this day, but this clinic was very sweet in sending a card with their condolences.

Dr. E:
My calico got pancreatitis soon after that ordeal and she was seen by Dr. E, who is kind, very informative, and dare I say, our favorite vet at the practice. My calico was sent to an internal medicine doctor for specialist care, but despite this and some continued struggles, Dr. E was always thinking of ways to help when we needed it and always patiently answering and clarifying our many, many questions. Since working with Dr. E on maintainance care, our calico has gained weight and is doing very well, even when her chronic kidney disease has slightly progressed. What really helped her get out of lasting pancreatitis symptoms by the end was B12 injections Dr. E prescribed. Due to our many positive experiences with her, we continue to ask for Dr. E and highly recommend her.

In conclusion:
We've gone to this clinic so many times in the course of a year, and every time, the receptionists, vet techs, and vets have been wonderful to our cats and the prices of anything and everything have been fairly decent (highly recommend pet insurance with senior pets though). I would recommend this place for your pet's medical care, especially with Dr. E. and Dr. Roberts.

“Been a client for over five years. Always responsive professional service, friendly and customer focused staff.“

“I absolutely adore Dr Vedadi and the dedicated staff at Marguerite Animal Hospital. My furbaby, Mochi, has been seen here since we got her almost 5 years ago. I love the feel of this specific small vet office. Dr Vedadi is so calm and loving to our dog. They all work SO hard and provide loving care. I also appreciate being able to be seen on such short notice in times of need. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Excellent care and the staff is beyond fabulous! I am so grateful to have found such great people who really care about my dogs.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

“Always the best experience with the entire team at Camino Pet Hospital. I have taken my animals there for 17 years plus.“

“We like this hospital very much. Dr Melville is a great doctor and friend of animals. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and attentive. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support we received from this animal hospital during our relocation to Japan.

Even during the year-end holiday season, the entire team continued to follow up closely on our case and never once made us feel rushed or ignored. They communicated promptly with external agencies and laboratories, coordinated seamlessly with government offices, and always took the initiative to move things forward.

What impressed us most was their genuine care for us as pet owners. They understood how stressful international pet relocation can be and supported us not only professionally, but emotionally as well. Every staff member treated us with kindness, patience, and empathy.

Although there was no direct benefit to them, they went above and beyond to help us, dedicating their time, energy, and expertise until the very end. We truly felt that they were on our side throughout the entire process.

We cannot thank them enough and would highly recommend this hospital to anyone who needs a veterinary team that is both highly competent and deeply compassionate.“

“I just moved from Arizona and needed to find a new Veterinarian for my pets. I am so fortunate to have found this place. My Great Dane has tremors and was out of medication since our vet in Arizona could not transfer them. Ann got us on the schedule right away without an additional “emergency visit” charge like other places often do. We met with Dr. Haney, she is fantastic. She did an exam and got us out of there quickly so my dog could take his meds and get some rest. She genuinely cares about the well-being of her patients, I’m so grateful for the entire team at Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center. Thank you!“

“I have a bearded dragon I care deeply about and Dr Wesley did an amazing job, and his front desk team is nothing short of amazing! Not only are they knowledgeable but very kind and friendly! I highly recommend taking your loved pets to here! They will be cared for!“

“Blue and Biscuit had a great vet check up! Blue just had her routine vet checkup and Biscuit had her second round of shots. The staff is super friendly and I’ve been going here for years. ???“

“Decided to go here as they had more of a family vibe that I'm used to going. And no, not because they have family in their name, although that is kind of interesting and unique too. Unless things are really dire, which they usually aren't, the Vets here take on a more conservative approach. Just like at your human doctor, even tho it seems unsure, not everything is an emergency, and if it is, your pet belongs at the emergency hospital, not your regular vet.

You could choose to go a different route and order excessive tests for your peace of mind, despite the Vets here not seeing the urgency. And mind you, they've had education, they've gone thru training, they've had trials. They've seen so much worse... and so I appreciate that they have a cool head on and can be realistic and logistical.

14 years of cat ownership with hundreds in-between for tnr and cat rescue with 2 handfuls at home now. And with this vet and the one prior in anaheim, not one lost from negligence. No intentional delusion or malice. Good honest people who will suggest this and that and reinforce a necessity here and there but aren't pushy or black and white with all or nothing attitude.“

“Dr. Anne Lai is personable and takes her time to listen to our concerns. We have been with her for over ten years and very fortunate to have her as our Vet.“

“Went to VCA Olympad while vacationing in the area for a serious situation with my dog Maggie who has heart issues, stopped eating. My daughter recommended the hospital based on excellent service received for her dog Elton. Excellent customer service. Very organized and timely. Very compassionate care, great suite of competencies, great follow up and provide clear information. The x-rays taken and diagnostics completed were instrumental in her continued care when I came home. Am very grateful.“

“I've been taking my animals to this place for 30 years. They are very knowlageable and kind to all.“

“My 14-year-old cat was in rapid decline due to severe hyperthyroidism. His T4 level was dangerously high at 24, putting him at serious risk for heart failure and his high blood pressure was a threat to his organs Traditional medication wasn’t working, and I was running out of hope—until I found Dr. Broome. Thankfully, his clinic was just 15 minutes from home. From start to finish, the care was both professional and compassionate. It’s now been five weeks since the iodine treatment, and the results are nothing short of miraculous: his T4 is down to 2, his heart is strong, his liver has recovered, and his kidneys are healthy. He’s gaining weight daily and acting like his old self again. Dr. Broome didn’t just treat my cat—he gave him his life back.“

“This veterinary team was so compassionate, understanding, and supportive during my dog's final days. When it was finally time to say goodbye to our 16 year old fur baby, they gave us all the time and tissues we needed. They made us 2 sets of her paw prints so each of my children could have a keepsake. They even had flowers delivered to our house the next day along with handwritten sympathy notes from each team member. I was blown away and am beyond grateful for all their kindness!“

“Dr. Kelly is experienced, kind, and straightforward. I highly recommend her. Your pet will be in good hands.“

“Always great service, they take amazing care of all of my pets. Exotics and dogs! I love Carma, and their little store always has interesting things =)“

“We have been going to Dr. Rosete for 17.5 yrs. Our Cairn terrier was seen by him in 2007 as a pup because he offered a low-cost vaccine clinic. I was so impressed by Dr. Rosete, that I switched vets for all 3 of our dogs. Dr. Rosete is by far the most competent, caring, honest vet we have ever been to. I've referred friends and neighbors who tell me that they are also very satisfied. Both Dr. Ernesto Rosete and his daughter, Dr. Christine Rosete, genuinely care about the well being of our pets first and are fair about pricing. The best decision I ever made for the benefit of our pets.“

“Dr. Tuz and the entire staff are amazing. They get to know the dog and family and provide personal attention. I’ve always been able to get an appointment without waiting too long. I also appreciate the conservative approach and never feel they are just trying g to get my money. Hopefully, he won’t swallow anymore socks!“

“I’m an old animal lover been through many vets over my lifetime and these people are wonderful. They make my little shelter cat so calm and happy and take very good care of him. Their place is so clean and cheerful and it’s It’s so refreshing to find a vet you feel so comfortable & confident with Thank you!“
