Newport Harbor Animal Hospital is one of Orange County's oldest animal hospitals, serving the community since 1947. The practice is consistently described as a caring and exceptional place, with many clients considering the staff to be their pet's second family. The veterinarians, including Dr. Ashbran, Dr. Robertson, and Dr. Wade, are repeatedly praised for being knowledgeable, kind, and thorough, with a unique ability to provide comfort and sympathy. Clients report that the doctors and vet techs are never rushed, spend ample time answering questions, and show genuine care.
The dedicated staff and kennel attendants provide great care, with a texting service and photos offered during boarding. The front office staff is friendly and helpful, facilitating easy scheduling. The hospital is noted for its high-tech facilities and full range of medical services for dogs and cats, including medical and regular boarding with 24-hour attendants. It is open seven days a week with long hours, adding convenience. While some note the prices can be higher, numerous reviews emphatically state the service is worth every dime and that the level of care and love for animals is priceless. The overall sentiment is one of immense gratitude and lifelong loyalty from clients who highly recommend the hospital.
Our family has a long relationship with Dr. Ashbran. He and his staff are friendly and compassionate. Our goldendoodle, Maki, actually enjoys going to the vet, as do we. Always excellent communication and great care! Highly recommend!
