Mojdeh B.

Thank you Dr. Bahou for being so loving and kind to our dog. I do appreciate your honesty when it comes to what our dogs need or don't need. So lucky to have a knowledge, kind and fair Veterinarian.

Dr Bahou is my trusted VET,  "Snowflake".

f I've been coming to Alicia Pet Care Center for many years,…read morespecifically working with Dr. Matthew Wheaton. I was originally introduced to this veterinary hospital by my dog trainer, Vladae from SoCal Dog Training and I'm very glad I followed that recommendation. Over the years, Dr. Wheaton and his team have taken excellent care of my chocolate Labrador, Bruno. Now with my new puppy, Nico, also a chocolate Lab, choosing Alicia Pet Care Center again was an easy decision. Dr. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly, he is straightforward and trustworthy which is rare and very valuable. Their extended hours, including full-day Saturdays, make scheduling very convenient. They also offer a drop-off service, which is incredibly helpful when things get busy. Overall, a reliable, a bit pricey, but professional, and honest veterinary clinic. Thank you, Dr. Matthew and team.

It's possible their regular vets are fine (hopefully), but their backup vet should be avoided if…read moreyou need to bring your pets here urgently. She recommends unnecessary procedures while using fear tactics, which is a shame. The backup vet was very incompetent. She recommended the wrong solutions and suggested imaging that cannot detect soft tissue issues. She never asked any history questions, examined the wrong area entirely, and jumped straight to worst case scenarios without justification. She spent only 5 minutes on the consultation and pushed for X-rays when in my dog's case, those weren't even necessary. X-rays are not the right protocol for soft tissue issues. I didn't have a choice as they were the only place open that day. A few days later my dog is completely fine because it wasn't actually that hard to fix. He had full anal glands that just needed to be emptied ... and this vet was pushing for X-rays and bloodwork instead One thing worth mentioning, she was very quick to suggest cancer or tumors without proper justification. What she may not know is that intact male dogs actually have hormonal protection that significantly reduces the risk of certain cancers in that area. A more knowledgeable vet would have considered this before jumping to worst case scenarios. This is basic intact male biology that should be understood before making such alarming suggestions to worried pet owners. That's why I usually just bring my dogs to my regular holistic vets in Irvine and Laguna Beach. To be fair, the regular staff are lovely. The vet tech was excellent, agreed with my decisions, and actually helped. So I do believe their regular vets and staff are much better. This one star is specifically for the backup vet. Please be very careful if they assign you to her.

Bliss Animal Hospital saved my cat's life. Words really aren't sufficient to express my gratitude…read moreto this team. I came in here for the first time after our previous vet could not identify my cat's issue, and it was only getting worse and costing more money that I did not have. My cat was suffering, and I was on my last legs trying to find someone to help him. Once he was seen by Dr. Nai, not only did she know almost immediately what it was (without all of the tests I spent tons of money on at my previous vet, for them just to tell me it may be a gut issue, which it absolutely was NOT), Dr. Nai was so present and so in tune with my cat, who she had never even met. I couldn't believe that these nurses, doctors, and staff were treating me and my cat like family, and what matters more than ANYTHING to this team is heart, compassion, awareness and healing your baby. You can truly feel the love that they have for these animals emanating through all of the staff. I will recommend this hospital to literally everyone, and I am a forever customer now because I got to bring home my son, who was purring, at ease, and now on his path to healing, all because of this hospital. I was a stranger to them, yet they treated me and my cat like souls who needed guidance and help before anything else. I think that speaks incredible volumes about what this hospital really is about. Dr. Nai, you are an angel sent from heaven. I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart, and whether you know it or not, I will never forget the way you treated me and Small for the rest of my life. Nurse Priscilla, Winnie, Brittany, and everyone involved in my cat's recovery-this is the best gift you could have given me. I drove home with my cat with tears in my eyes of pure gratitude that my son gets to stay beside me, these doctors, and this staff treated me like a human being, not a dollar amount. They treated my cat like an absolute KING and spoiled him silly! They love animals so, so, so much. Honestly, anyone in the area or even further- this is the hospital you want to bring your baby to because regardless of who you are, what you have, or don't have, they are there for you in a time that often is so scary, lonely, and worrying. I wish I could say thank you in a thousand more ways, but with all that being said, thank you for saving Small. I would have done anything imaginable to help him, and they took that burden off my shoulders and took it from there so I could truly rest knowing he was in the best of hands. Every single one of you will always be in my thoughts, and I genuinely feel indebted. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you so, so much. Love, Taylor and Small

We've been bringing our dog, Checkers, here since she was two months old, and the care has been…read moretop-notch for nearly two years. The facility is clean, modern, and efficiently run, and their communication regarding shots and exams is always clear and helpful. What really earned my respect was how they handled Checkers' recent patella luxation surgery. A piece of their specialized equipment broke just days before the procedure. Instead of making excuses, they went above and beyond. They coordinated with a top specialist in the area--who has performed over 30,000 knee surgeries--to see us at the same time, on the same day, and for the same price. Their honesty and dedication to getting Checkers the best care possible, even when it was out of their hands, is exactly what you want in a vet. They truly care about animals first. Keep up the great work, Aliso Viejo Animal Hospital--we'll see you in August!

It's with great disappointment that I'm sharing a negative experience with Aliso Viejo Animal…read moreClinic. To be clear, the veterinarian provided excellent care, several of the vet assistants were wonderful, and I've generally had positive experiences with the front desk. My dog had surgery to remove a cyst, and the procedure itself was handled very well. For that, I'm truly grateful. Unfortunately, the issue came afterward. When checking out, I questioned the high cost of the medication and mentioned that I normally use Chewy or Allivet. The front desk encouraged me to use their pharmacy instead, assuring me the prescription would be approved quickly and the service would be reliable. Since my dog needed an antibiotic daily for 10 days, I agreed and purchased enough locally to cover four days in case of shipping delays. The medication didn't even ship for three days. By Monday, I was almost out and contacted the office. Instead of receiving understanding or help, I was told it was my fault for ordering through their pharmacy and that I could either pay an inflated price for more pills or "figure it out myself." Of course, I had no choice but to pay because my dog needed the medication. Now I've learned the shipment won't arrive until next Monday, after the medication is no longer needed, forcing me to buy even more locally just to complete the treatment. The delay is frustrating, but the real disappointment is the lack of ownership, empathy, and support when their recommended solution failed. Integrity matters most when something goes wrong. Sadly, because of this experience, I'll be finding a different veterinarian moving forward.

We've been clients of SOCAH for a long time. I don't recall the name of the veterinary practice…read morehere many years ago, but the building was empty for a while and then SOCAH opened. Could've been them back then but I'm not positive. We used to have Dr Jette who recently left. She was there a couple years I think. She went through one of my cats getting diagnosed with diabetes, pancreatitis and DKA. She was very caring and invested in his well-being. We have also seen Dr Vuong and I believe Dr Kim. Both were great. I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a vet's name, I'm just terrible at remembering them unless I interact with that person frequently. The most recent vet we saw today was Dr Cheron. My two cats have been sneezing, so I wanted to make sure their URI didn't develop into pneumonia. At first she asked if I wanted to treat symptomatic issues or if I wanted to figure out diagnostically what is happening. In other words, do tests to see if this was viral, bacterial, etc. I said I wanted to treat symptoms first, as my one cat having had multiple admissions to the hospital last year, was extremely expensive and I needed to avoid a costly bill as much as possible. She was very nice about it and understanding of my financial wishes. I felt like she truly listened to me and my concerns. She made sure to check with me that everything I wanted to go over was reviewed and discussed. She was very thorough in her examination and explanations. Why do I like this office? Front and back office staff are professional. I've never heard them be otherwise. The vets all truly care for your animal. They listen to you and don't make you feel like your thoughts and opinions don't matter. You are shown an estimate of your exam and suggested tests or treatments, but you are free to choose what you approve and will pay for. They have never pressured me to go with what I could not afford. For that, I am grateful to have a vet office that works with my pet just as much as they work with me.
