Veterinarians 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.“

“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!“

“Convenient location with plenty of parking. The staff is very patient with my silly, shy dog.“

“We had our first visit to Bliss in December and were very impressed by Dr. Sam and the staff. Dr. Sam took a lot of time to talk with us about our dog's issue, and we received a follow-up call as soon as the test results came back. We plan to continue with Bliss for our dogs' care. We wanted to find a vet that wasn't corporate, and Bliss fits the bill for us.“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are looking for a Veterinarian in Southern Orange County look no further. Dr. Farhtash’s exceptional service, professionalism, and wisdom is worth flying for. After having a beautiful golden with normal issues, Cyrus has shown genuine care and follow through on all issues. I do not feel comfortable taking our beloved golden anywhere but this location in Mission Viejo. If I could rate this any higher I would. Great staff, great recommendations, and genuine care. What more could you ask for while taking your beloved pet for a check in or illness.“

“Such a great help in answering questions and getting me in in an appropriate amount of time for our situation! Awesome staff“

“The Tustin office of Eye Care for Animals offers exceptional service from the friendly and efficient front desk staff to the amazing technicians and knowledgeable and wise veterinarians. Our 5-year-old pug Ruby had a corneal ulcer that was not healing. Vet tech Dani was gentle and reassuring as she took Ruby's vitals and offered clear explanations of what she was doing every step of the way. Dr. Kaminsky then did a thorough exam and took the time to answer all of our questions with professionalism and kindness. Thankfully Ruby's condition will be managed medically without the need for surgery. We were very impressed with and grateful to the team at Eye Care for Animals in Tustin.“

“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 came in with my kitty who had been an accident at home. They were very quick to help us & I love that they were honest and didn’t try to up sale us on anything. They sent us home with medication & instructions on what to look out for in case I needed to bring her back.“

“Excellent service and communication . My cat Boquita was treated with the best staff ever !! Super professional and clean !! I love this place !!“
