“Staff and veterinarians are always really friendly, helpful and thorough with their explanations. We've been bringing our dogs to them for years, and they've always given us solutions that have improved our pups' conditions. They also are always willing to provide multiple options to keep the costs within our budget, and their fees are better than any other place we've been to.”
“One of the best veterinarian's that I have ever been to. The staff was very accommodating with my reactive anxious German shepherd Luna. They understood her behaviors and helped all of us feel better. The staff and Doctor spent so much time answering all of our questions and we never felt rushed or pressured into anything. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets care in their hands!!”
“I have been bringing my dog to Dr. Jon Sultzer since he was a puppy. Dr. Sultzer is very patient, caring, and knowledgeable.
Last Thursday, we brought Bentley to the clinic because he was having choking problems. Dr. Sultzer and his technician, Fernanda, treated him with so much kindness and care. Bentley also has vision problems, and Fernanda carried him around like a baby to help him feel safe and comfortable.
Thank you, Dr. Sultzer and Fernanda, for taking such wonderful care of Bentley!”
“This was our first experience with Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center, and although it came during an incredibly difficult time, we are so grateful for the care and compassion we received.
Someone in our apartment complex recommended them after telling us what an amazing experience they had. At the time, we were in a bit of a pickle because our 17-year-old Pomeranian was really not doing well. We had previously taken her to a veterinarian in the Newport area, where she had been prescribed several medications, but unfortunately, nothing seemed to be helping.
Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center was incredibly kind and managed to get us in with a substitute veterinarian, who was absolutely wonderful. She was thorough, compassionate, and took the time to perform a complete examination before explaining what she felt our little Pomeranian needed.
Sadly, we ultimately learned that her kidneys were failing, and she reached the end of her life shortly afterward. As heartbreaking as the experience has been, we will always remember how well we were treated at Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center and how cared for we felt during such a difficult time.
What made an already wonderful impression even more meaningful was receiving flowers from Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center after they were notified by Lap of Love, who helped us say goodbye to her peacefully at home. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that meant so much to us.
We still have another little dog, and after this experience, there is no question that we will be bringing him to Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center moving forward. We are incredibly thankful to have found them.”
“We recently moved to the area. In the brief time we've lived here, we've had two emergencies, with two different pets. In both instances, we've had our pets treated that day, without having had an appointment. Both times the quality of care has been great treating the underlying cause. The staff was wonderful, communicating with, keeping us informed, and checking up afterwards. We couldn't have been happier with the overall service.”
“I've been bringing my pets to Dr. Kim for about 10 years now, and I can't recommend him and his team enough.
He's cared for multiple pets of mine through every stage of life. He's performed several dental procedures, surgeries, and routine care, and I've always felt my cats and dogs were in the best hands.
When the heartbreaking time came to say goodbye to a few of them, he and his staff were incredibly compassionate and kind. Those are moments you never forget, and they treated both my pets and me with so much dignity and care.
One thing I appreciate most is that I never feel rushed. Dr. Kim takes the time to answer questions, explain options, and genuinely cares about the animals he treats. His experience and knowledge give me confidence, even in stressful situations.
The staff deserves just as much recognition. They are always friendly, patient, and caring. It's obvious that everyone there loves what they do.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a veterinarian who is honest, skilled, compassionate, and genuinely puts the well-being of animals first. My sister brings her dogs to Dr. Kim too, and we are incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful doctor for our babies.”
“I came here for a health certificate for my dog to travel to Colombia. I had a negative experience a few years ago with a different vet, so I was looking for an animal
Hospital with experience. I could not recommend this place enough. Every single person from the front desk (shout out Alexis) to the doctor Huang was so incredibly kind and thorough. They called to check in, reminders, and were very responsive and quick. These guys know what they’re doing and are really professional. If you’re traveling and need a health certificate , go to them. They even use a program that lays out all the requirements to make sure nothing is missed.”
“Fast, efficient, excellent customer service end to end, staff is friendly and vets appear to be knowledgeable. I really appreciate that the vets read on Mandu's history to come in prepared and try to be thorough”
“Dr Jones and Randy were incredible with my dog as he can be difficult because he is a big scaredy pants. I'm so pleased that they always take the time to make sure his visit is stress free. They are wonderful and the other assistant that helped us that day was awesome too, but I'm sorry I dont remember her name. And, it's the first time Ruger has ever had a Cytopoint shot and the results from that are Great !! Keep up the great work team because you are awesome!!”
“We established care here after one visit because the vet was kind, gentle and caring and we were happy we chose Arch Beach Vet Clinic for Butler's dental care because they handled it so well, communicating everything completely and we feel like he received the best and most compassionate care.”
“We love taking our dog to Camino pet hospital! They take great care of him, the vets and everyone assisting them are so kind and the pricing and recommendations are always very reasonable.”
“The staff at the El Toro Animal Hospital were so compassionate to my cat Bubba and me. We came in during an emergency without an appointment and were immediately taken back. Dr. Paul Francis and the techs were so thorough during her exam and testing. He is so knowledgeable and explained all the results in detail. Also, the lovely receptionist up front was so kind to me while I was in a panic! They were incredibly transparent about pricing and broke everything down on an itemized list. I also appreciate that they have separate doors and waiting rooms for dogs & cats. Thank you El Toro Animal Hospital! Bubba is happy and healthy again thanks to your care and expertise! 🐾”
“Estrella Veterinary Hospital is the best. I had a medical emergency with my cat Maya, and they got us in immediately. The staff and Dr. Wendy were caring, friendly, thorough and gave us choices for follow up care. The next day Dr. Wendy called up to check on Maya and to give us further test results. I highly recommend Estrella Veterinary Hospital!”
“Boarding with Banderas is always such a seamless experience. We know our pets are in great hands with a team we trust, and the facility is always clean, safe, and secure. We especially love receiving the daily updates and photos while we’re away. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“The doctor and nurse were very caring and explained every procedure and process thoroughly. We came up with a solid plan and solution to the reason for our visit. My cat was cared for and everyone on staff was very attentive and welcoming.”

“Camino Veterinary Hospital truly went above and beyond for my sweet (very large!) dog, Sancho. From start to finish, the level of care, communication, and compassion we received was exceptional. Dr. Bates and Dr. Habekost were absolutely amazing—both checked in consistently and personally for a solid week after his surgery, which meant more to our family than I can express. Knowing they were closely monitoring his recovery gave us so much peace of mind.
The entire staff was incredible—so kind, patient, and genuinely loving toward Sancho. It was clear that he wasn’t just another patient to them; he was treated like family. We felt supported every step of the way, and Sancho was clearly in the best hands possible. We are deeply grateful for this team and highly recommend Camino Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care.”
“They’re super available and super kind super professional, and really listen to you and really try their best with any need of your pet!! I super highly recommend this. Also their building is super clean and professional.”
“The Angels must have guided me to Ask Ariel because I somehow stumbled upon what has been the answer to revive my senior cat, Lula. She had an ongoing sinus infection due to long-term steroid use for an Intestinal Lymphoma diagnosis. The supplements from Ask Ariel have allowed me to wean Lula off of steroids and clear the chronic infection. I also switched her to 60% raw diet, per suggestion, and her digestion is better now than it was before she got sick. She improves more every day and she is acting like a young cat again. I am forever grateful for Ask Ariel!! I have and will continue to tell everyone with pets about Ask Ariel! Thank you with all of my heart!!!”
“My dog is a little aggressive towards men but they are so patient with him and Kade has become a real ladies man with the girls who work there. I absolutely refuse to go to another vet office for my Kade”
“I want to thank Dr Barry and her staff for taking care of my two girls. They did a fantastic job and I appreciate it so much. Thank you with all my heart for caring so much for my two girls. Greatly appreciated

“Incredible, Life-Saving Care for My Australian Shepherd
This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center enough. I brought my 10-year-old Australian Shepherd in for what I thought was a routine anal gland secretion issue. Dr. Haney and the team did a quick check and identified that he actually had a severe perianal hernia—a 7 out of 10 on the severity scale. Without surgery, he would not have survived the complications. To fix it, he needed the hernia repaired and to be neutered, as testosterone was causing the tissue to thin.
The surgery had me on pins and needles, but the compassion and care shown by Dr. Haney, Ann, Taylor, and Seychelle was unbelievable. They brought in a specialist surgeon for the procedure and had us come in for several checkups a week to monitor his healing closely. When a minor complication arose involving a hematoma, they quickly used laser therapy to help it dissipate.
I truly love this staff for saving my dog’s life. They feel like a part of our extended family now. If you want a team that is skilled, proactive, and deeply compassionate, this is the place to go!”
“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 taken my Pit Bull, Darla, here several times, and every visit has been a great experience. They offer free wellness and checkup visits, along with free toys, treats, and even a photo of your pet! The medical care is excellent, and the staff is always friendly, caring, and professional. I highly recommend this place to any dog owner. Give them a try, and you’ll see why I keep coming back with Darla!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Alisos Animal Hospital! Dr. Bahou and his team have been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Molly. From the moment we walk in, the staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about Molly’s well-being. Dr. Bahou is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate, always taking the time to explain treatments and answer all our questions. Molly actually enjoys her visits here, which speaks volumes about the care they provide! Whether it’s a routine checkup or something more urgent, we know Molly is in the best hands. Highly recommend Alisos Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a vet who treats pets like family!”
