“I had such an amazing experience here with my geriatric dog. The staff is gentle friendly and knowledgeable. The office is clean and inviting. I felt that they were fair and transparent with pricing. I am so happy that I made the switch to Bliss!!“
“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.

“Convenient location with plenty of parking. The staff is very patient with my silly, shy dog.“
“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.“
“The doctors & staff at South Orange County Animal Hospital are very caring & helpful.“
“They really make you feel like family and your pet is one of their own! Highly recommend this vet!“
“Dr. Allison Habekost and her entire staff are my heroes. We have been going there since they opened, however recently our dog Dewey became very ill- we thought for sure this was it. I called and shared the symptoms- they were incredibly busy- but they said bring him in and we will see him in between appointments. It was an infection that was difficult to determine what was going on- they were honest and kind. We decided on a treatment plan together and in 3 days our dog was back to being healthy. They were all so kind and considerate. I would give them 500 stars.“
“Been a client for over five years. Always responsive professional service, friendly and customer focused staff.“
“Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr. Mendelsohn was amazing. She explained all of the issues in very clear and understandable language. She also has a very holistic approach that properly values pharmaceuticals while considering their potential impact on the body's immune system. Staff was equally outstanding and, as always, all charges were clearly explained and quite reasonable - especially considering the treatment and work done.“
“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!“
“Dr. Han and his dedicated team saved our cat's life! Our beloved cat, Kiwi, had mysteriously lost almost 5lbs and was walking only in circles. We took her to 3 different veterinary clinics, and almost drove her down to Mexico for a MRI, but the day before doing so I took her to Oso Pet Care Center. I suspected she may have been suffering from nose polyps but Dr. Han's first thought was to run a test for a somewhat rare fungal disease called Cryptococcus. It came back positive so, although we were worried about her prognosis, we were relieved that someone could finally tell us what was happening to our sweet girl. Kiwi was days away from requiring euthanasia, she was in critical condition and was really suffering. Fortunately for us, she was in good hands-- Dr. Han and his team formulated an excellent strategy for her treatment. Though expensive, as all veterinary things seem to be these days, the quality of care was top-notch. Dr. Han did his very best to ensure he got her back to a healthy condition. The treatment was semi-experimental as his team had not encountered this condition first hand before but Dr. Han consulted with different colleagues and professionals to make sure he provided the best treatment possible for Kiwi. I know he did a lot of "behind the scenes" research and really dedicated a lot of his time to her case. Today, we are still fighting the fungal disease but I am grateful to say that Kiwi is back to her healthy, active and happy self. We thought we were about to lose a member of our family but thanks to Dr. Han this story has a happy ending!“
“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! ❤️❤️❤️

“Such a great animal hospital. The staff and veterinarians are so loving and kind. They love their jobs and work with you every step of the way. Pharaoh and Kaya are happy to call this place their hospital.“
“Always the best experience with the entire team at Camino Pet Hospital. I have taken my animals there for 17 years plus.“
“I bring both my cats to Marguerite Animal Hospital and they love it there. The staff is very friendly and treat my babies as if they were their own!! We’ve been coming here since they opened. Recently i took in one of my kitties to Dr. Vedadi for an emergency and they fit me in the same day. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for the best vet and service in OC!“
“doctor helps to heal two of my cats, one 5 years old male and one 2 month old female. Both recover in 2 days! Amazing work!“
“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've been taking my animals to this place for 30 years. They are very knowlageable and kind to all.“
“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.“
“Years ago, I met Dr. Craig after a board-certified surgeon in San Diego abandoned a case that had a lot of complications. I did agility with my dogs and Dr. Craig was highly recommended by several people. Dr. Craig was conservative on treatment and the dog recovered. Years later, my dog needed a surgery consult and I trust Dr. Craig. Dr. Craig was very detailed and honest. Dr. Craig recommended to wait and if if the issue got worse. About 7 months later, the issue got worse so I asked a few RVTS in Temecula who they would recommend. Those RVTS recommended a mobile surgeon in San Diego and also a Veterinary Surgical Specialist. The mobile surgeon is great but he won't do this type of surgery as he told me it needs to be done at a specialty hospital due to the risk of complications. For a surgery that needs to be done by a board-certified surgeon, I would trust the mobile vet and Dr. Craig. I post an update if a surgery happens........“
“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!“
“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!“

“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 =)“
“It's always good to know a veterinarian or a pet hospital who is not all about charging your card based on the level of the emotion is involved. Today Dr Reza brought his beautiful dog Ginger to us for some spaw treatment and at the same time unfortunately my own dog was not feeling well and needed immediate attention. He offered while his dog getting groomed by my staff to take my dog to his hospital and do the necessary work to help my dog . Wooow who would do that these days ? Only a person with the heart of gold who doesn't want to see you or your pet suffer . I am very thankful to DR Reza and his team for taking great care of my baby when I needed them“
