I'm so thankful to Dr Jung and ALL of his staff. They have been amazing!!! They really care. Our 17 year old Shih Tzu has CHF. We've been in for the Echo, we've met with Dr Jung a couple times, he is well educated in his field and full of information and advice. When we have questions his front desk team (Yasmine and Abiram) have been so kind, listening to our concerns and following up with us after conferring with Dr Jung. The vet techs are experienced and thorough and compassionate. The entire team understands the gravity of the situation and has been tremendously supportive! I'm thankful that there are specialists to help treat my beloved fur child. read more

Unfortunately I can't give a review of Dr Jung because we never saw him. The tech we met prior to the procedure was so rude we came to the conclusion, if hes not kind to us how we can we count on him being kind to our pet?, so we left. Our questions were met with complete dismissal and the tech said if you don't like it you can go somewhere else. Thank goodness we have other options. read more

I was anxious to need a referral to a cardiologist for my cat but Dr. Jung came highly recommended. I requested an appointment online since it was the weekend and by the time Monday came I had learned that I needed to get in ASAP. Yasmine understood this when scheduling and was able to get me on a wait list and a sooner appointment. Everything was explained and additional instructions were online. When I arrived I was roomed immediately and seen by Aram to review details and history. Then it was time for exam and results with Dr. Jung. Everything was explained to me patiently and thoroughly by both Aram and Dr. Jung. I am so grateful for their kindness and expertise. We are lucky to have a relatively positive diagnosis and prognosis, all things considered. However, I have every confidence in Dr. Jung and this team to be able to handle anything. Thank you all! read more

Echo Vet Cardio - We miss him - Veterinarians Near Me - Tustin, California

My little old lady 3lb yorkie was tentatively scheduled for surgery. However lab results showed issues with her heart enzyme levels and an echo was recommended. Again, things one is so unfamiliar with but will do anything and everything for their pet, especially during uncertain times. This is my experience from start to finish. Dr. Jung came highly recommended. I know it would be difficult to get her in quickly but I had to try regardless. I called and spoke with the most pleasant and sweetest girl named Jenna. You can only imagine how relieving it is to speak with someone who is able to provide you comfort with just her kindness as you go thru an emotional time trying to get your furbaby the proper care they need. I gave her my situation and she was kind enough to put me on hold to see what could be done given the urgency of my pet's tentative surgery. To my relief, my pet was able to be seen. The building itself is located in what feels like a shopping center for all your pets needs: animal hospitals/specialties/clinics, etc. There is ample parking. Once you arrive for your scheduled appointment, you call to check-in. You may either wait in your car or they have someone meet you in the front to bring you inside the building, where they have coffee and tea available for the nervous pet parents. Once placed in the treatment room, our technician Zachary came in with just the most uplifting energy. He went over the paperwork we had filled out to be sure nothing was missed, he gave us the rundown on what would be done and how long it would take. Whether it was his smile, his pink shirt that matched my pet's pink tutu dress, or how he picked up my furbaby making her feel safe, but my dog went to him without putting a fight. Few minutes later my dog was returned and we waited for Dr. Jung, who came in a few minutes later. Dr. Jung was kind, patient, and personable. What we appreciated the most was the fact that he took the time to go over everything that was discovered on the test. He was knowledgeable, thorough, allowed us to ask questions, provided us relief and reassurance that our pet would be ok. Not only was I was provided a printed report of results, but results had already been emailed to me and my pet's primary vet office along with rx for my pet's needs. Talk about efficiency! From start to finish my experience was amazing. To have such a kind and caring staff who is able to provide you a sense of comfort during tough times and then have a doctor, who has just as much love and compassion for animals, provide you with that sense of security that your pet will be ok was such a blessing. I can confidently say that I trust this office with my pet's care. Thank you again Dr. Jung, Jenna, and Zachary! We appreciate all you did! read more

this place is really ridiculous and unprofessional. i booked my appointment a month in advance, they sent me an email titled CONFIRMATION of appointment. then a few days before the appointment they send me a series of text messages (which i never agreed to) requiring me to confirm my appointment again within their specified timeframe of a few hours or else it will cancel and go to someone else (what if i'm busy or out of pocket those few hours or have spam messaging blocked?). i would have never even known that my appointment was canceled and would've taken my cat there (which pet owners know can already be a very stressful experience, and then been turned away? plus taken time off of work to do it?). mind you, they are already booked far out in advance, so my pet has been waiting for a month for this appointment, which was ALREADY confirmed when i booked it. why do i need to reconfirm within your specified timeframe? no other doctors operate this way, ive never had this requirement to reconfirm an appointment across any service, a salon, a regular doctor, a vet, a specialist, nobody does this. additionally, you cannot remove yourself from their automated text messaging list, or else you will never be able to confirm an appointment and therefore will always be auto-cancelled. anyways, they lost my business and i will take it elsewhere happily. read more

I regret not paying closer attention to the one-star review. Here's my experience: At the beginning of the year, my toy poodle began suffering from strokes. After months of visiting various vets and emergency clinics, we finally discovered the cause and a treatment plan that seemed to help. Our vet prescribed medication, which made a difference, but also referred us to Echo Vet Cardio for a more in-depth assessment of my dog's heart condition. After some time weighing the decision, I scheduled an appointment. During the exam, Dr. Jung gave us a hopeful prognosis, estimating a life expectancy of 2+ years. He noted there was no fluid in my dog's lungs and recommended discontinuing the Furosemide due to elevated levels of a specific marker in her bloodwork. Following his advice, we stopped the medication for water in the lungs, but, continued the second medication for the strokes. Tragically, within a week, my dog's condition worsened. By Friday, 9/20, her respiratory issues became critical. That day, I called Echo Vet Cardio seeking urgent help. Instead of assistance, I was met with indifference. Aram, the staff member on the phone, seemed more interested in ending the call because it was late on a Friday and the doctor was unavailable. He told me to continue tracking my dog's breathing patterns, even though her respiratory rate was alarmingly high, and promised to follow up on Monday. He never did. When I called back the next day, Aram acted like he didn't even know who we were, reading my dog's symptoms off the computer as if hearing them for the first time. It was a heartbreaking and frustrating experience. Ultimately, due to the advice given and the negligence of the staff, we lost our beloved dog shortly after. For anyone who truly cares about their pet, I urge you to explore other options. Please take all reviews seriously, both good and bad--this clinic's lack of care and compassion could cost you your pet's life. P.s I've attached a few photos of my deceased pet to further support our claim and the place we took our pet to be euthanized sent us a heartwarming card by mail, which honestly just highlights how indifferent and careless Echo Vet Cardio was--because it took complete strangers, in our darkest moment, to show the empathy and compassion that this so-called "specialist" clinic never bothered to give. UPDATE 9/28: As consumers of California, we hold the legal right to file a complaint through the Department of Consumer Affairs, specifically the Veterinary Medical Board. If you had a negative experience at Echo Vet Cardio, I urge you to head over to vmb.ca.gov and file a complaint. You also have the option to remain anonymous.

Echo Vet Cardio - Just finished our appointment with Dr. Jung! - Veterinarians Near Me - Tustin, California

I drive all the way from San Pedro to see Dr. Jung. My Vet referred me to him. They are so Professional. It was a hospital for animals. It looked like a human hospital. I was so impressed. When we went to sign in, they already knew our fur babies name. They even had his name on the room door. That made us so happy and we felt special. My Spanky is 16 years old and has Congested Heart Failure. Mr. Jung was so warm and inviting and so is his staff. They made Spanky and I so relaxed and happy. He took several test for him. He put Spanky on 3 medications. He is doing so much better than the first day we came in. We have had to adjust the medications. But, Spanky is still kicking. When I call for appointments or advice they are so warm and caring. They go way out of their way to make you feel special. Thank you, Echo Vet Cardio! read more

Dr. Jung was recommended to us when one of our dogs had a heart murmur that quickly developed into heart failure. The team at Echo Vet Cardio are very professional and nice. We have also brought another one of our dogs to his office when she was having fainting episodes. Dr. Jung is great with our fur babies and he will explain what is going on internally with your pet in a very easy and detailed manner. He is a very empathetic doctor and also seems to always maintain as much of a positive energy in all situations. My veterinarian trusts Dr. Jung with her own pets which makes it easy for my family and I to also trust him with his care. read more

My husband and I have two Maltipoo dogs that we absolutely adore. So when our 13-year-old little girl began to show signs of declining health, we were heartbroken, but were also lucky enough to have found Dr. Jung and his team. Our first visit was on 11/02/2023. I am innately skeptical, but Dr. Jung turned that around quickly. Sometimes a lengthy education, notable credentials, and a highly regarded reputation can make one arrogant and short-tempered. That is NOT the case with Dr. Jung. He is the most caring, patient, and humble doctor I have ever met, and he is extraordinarily attentive and will unequivocally treat your pet like his own (knuckles to Dr. Jung!) As for his staff - they are also incredible and a true reflection of Dr. Jung. We have had several office visits in the last 6 weeks, and each time they are all very friendly, focused, helpful, and responsive. I have my own professional office as well, and my clients are constantly telling me the same thing. I now have a clear understanding of how much this means to people dealing with some of the toughest times of their lives (special thanks to Jenna for always being so warm and welcoming). My husband and I are truly blessed to have the support of Echo Vet Cardio. Thanks to all of you for caring. read more

Words will never fully justify how incredible Dr Jung, Zach, Isai, Jenna, Aram are. They are incredibly compassionate, understanding, patient, professional. I was met with such kindness during all of my visits with multiple members of my fur family. Dr Jung and his team have guided my family through some really devastating circumstances yet did everything they could to extend all of our pets life & comfort while always being there for us. We never felt rushed, pressured, only cared for from start to finish. He has clearly curated a team of such big hearts who truly love what they do. As a rescue momma who takes on some pretty tough sad cases in their final moments, Echo Vet Cardio has been a life saver and thats an understatement. read more

I'm returning from my long Yelp hiatus to write this review. My cat needed a cardio consult and appointments at most places were weeks out. How many veterinary cardiologists do you know in the LA/OC/IE area? Maybe a handful. How many of them are in private practice? And how many of them would take time out of their schedules to see an emergency walk-in? There's one. That man's name is Dr. Jung of Echo Vet Cardio. Most specialists are affiliated with large animal hospitals and Dr. Jung is no exception. Specialty care is never cheap. However, being able to see him in his own office allows him to provide a more compassionate touch while cutting out the middle man and maintaining competitive prices. The office itself is a shared space with several other veterinary practices. You must check-in outside before entering the building. After doing so, depending on Dr. Jung's workload, he will triage your pet according to how critical they are and then do some preliminary imaging to determine the best course of action. Dr. Jung's staff was friendly and professional. As for Dr. Jung himself, he has a calm demeanor with an excellent bedside manner. He is also extremely knowledgeable -- check out his bio on his website, his credentials speak for themselves. Ultimately, my cat did not additional treatment, but the care provided by Dr. Jung and his team was priceless. read more

Wow! Where to even begin Dr. Jung was literally heaven sent, after our Doberman pup was diagnosed with DCM we were devastated. Dr. Jung and his team took care of us and gave us hope in a time of deep hopelessness. The quick response to medication refills, follow ups, and everything in between. I would recommend Echo Cardio Vet to anyone for Vet care. Dr. jung and all of his staff were always warm and welcoming and had patience with the million questions and concerns regarding our dog's condition. A million Thank you's for always going above and beyond and making this process a little easier. With Deepest Gratitude - Nm read more

I want to give a shoutout to Echo Vet Cardio for being so amazing. First of all, they provide great patient care and you can tell their staff and Dr. Jung care about the animals. I do not live close to this place, but I do not mind making the commute because of the amazing team. I brought my 10 year old Maltese because she was diagnosed with a heart condition. Dr. Jung and the staff gave us hope even though her case was not so promising. They were able to give us a quick appointment given the scenario and he prescribed medication for my fur baby. Next follow up, a couple months down the line, my fur baby is doing a lot better. Today, there was a mix up where I though my fur baby had a follow up appointment, but it turns out she did not. Instead of putting blame on anyone, they were so nice and accommodating. They performed an echo, listened to my concerns, and gave me answers and recommendation. I could not say enough good things about this facility except for I highly recommend them. read more

10/10 recommend!!! I found Dr. Jung when he worked as a cardiologist for another veterinarians office in Whittier. My dog Coco who's 12 years old has heart disease due to mitral valve regurgitation. When Dr. Jung worked at the other vets office, I was absolutely devastated when I found out Coco's diagnosis. However, Dr. Jung was incredibly compassionate and patient with us, took his time to explain the diagnosis, how it occurs, how to prevent it from getting worse, answer all of our questions, etc. Since then, Dr. Jung moved to Irvine (takes me over an 1 hr to drive there, but totally worth it!). It's been a couple years now and Coco is still happy and thriving despite his heart disease, and still sees Dr. Jung regularly to keep his heart happy and healthy. Dr, Jung is still the sweetest, caring, compassionate doctor that he was when we first met him. We are so grateful for him and his wonderful staff for truly caring about not only their patients but also the parents of our fur babies. It's extremely difficult when your baby get diagnosed with a condition and you almost feel helpless about it. Having a caring, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced doctor to guide you through their care is invaluable. Thank you so much Dr. Jung!!! Also, shout out to the receptionist Jenna who is always a sweetheart when I call for any assistance. Always sweet and very professional, she's never failed to follow through whenever I have a question or need anything at all. She's an integral part of the team and they are lucky to have her! read more

Dr.Jung prescribed my dog (who diagnosed my dog with congestive heart failure & 6 months life-expectancy) completely wrong medication. If I did not notice this discrepancy, it would have been a dangerous situation & life-threatening if I had continued the medication without clue. The appointment felt rushed, and I did not receive quality care that I had hoped for from a vet. I came to my visit with great optimism and trust in Dr.Jung that he will provide the best care for my dog. Dr.Jung explained his condition without displaying any echocardiogram results on screen, which is odd because usually diagnostic images are throughly reviewed for owners to truly understand what's going on & understand the severity of the issue. For each questions asked, his answers were quite short&apathetic. However, I didn't think too much of it as I understand that they may have been busy with the next patients--my meeting w Dr.Jung was less than 10min. My main dissatisfaction and frustration came after the appointment because: 1) Dr.Jung prescribed wrong medication which at first, I decided to let it slide because everyone makes mistakes and at least I caught it in time. 2) Given that Dr.Jung gave my dog a life-expectancy of 6 months, his lack of care for my dog was both heartless, reckless, and neglectful. He did not go over each one of my dog's medication with me in-person, in regards to reevaluation of current meds and where exactly I can obtain them (which is the fundamental purpose of the whole visit), which caused great confusion and delaying of urgent meds. He mentioned the med, Entresto, for delaying of CHF and I explicitly expressed my interest multiple times, where Dr.Jung just responded that I can order them online, but it was not prescribed to me. It was only after I left Echo that the need for this was mentioned to me; the one other med was available for me to simply order through the link provided. I don't understand why they did not provide it to me during my visit which goes on to reflect the lack of organization and attentiveness. This could've easily been avoided if the whole visit was more thorough rather than rushed. This careless treatment is both disrespectful for the owner and sick dog. 3) I was recently informed by a pet community about the incredible MVD surgery that can potentially reverse CHF. As a result, I reached out to Dr.Jung about my interest & a request for referral. The response I received was "there is nothing we can coordinate with them for you on your end." Wow, this is the statement that left me absolutely baffled and was a tipping point for this entire situation. What a cold response! The surgery center required a formal letter or "referral" from vet, and this is how Echo Vet Cardio responded for a dog that needs immediate surgery. Echo completely dismissed the gravity of the situation especially when Dr.Jung strongly emphasized that his condition was "very bad." I understand that all the arranging has to be done on my end, and my only request was a referral letter. I'm uncertain whether I came across as naive or overly accommodating by maintain a polite and respectful demeanor before finally voicing my dissatisfaction. Regardless, taking advantage of my willingness to overlook major issues, is unequivocally wrong and unprofessional. 3) As a forgiving person, I decided to give Echo 3 stars instead of the initial 1 star--despite the terrible and negligent care--because although the care my dog received was far below average (no difference before & after visit aside from negative experiences + high potential risk that my dog would have sustained under Dr.Jung's care if I wasn't so attentive), I was still appreciative of my appointment being arranged earlier and also because the other staff was nice. However, Echo Vet Cardio's continuous lack of responsibility and failure for prompt intervention further confirmed their true nature that stands in stark contrast to their displayed image. I had requested Echocardiogram results as they need to be sent to the surgery centers to start the process of determining candidacy & entering the long waitlist but he still hasn't sent them over and it has been almost 1 week since the appointment. The lack of urgency, willingness, and failure to aggressively, if at all, confront the threats of this deadly disease is extremely concerning. Mind you, Dr.Jung gave him a life-expectancy of SIX MONTHS, and this is how he treats a patient with limited time. There are countless vets out there that go above and beyond to treat your pets like family--that's the definition of a true and worthy veterinarian! I hope that anyone reading this finds a genuine vet that sincerely cares for your pet's precious life, health, and longevity. Remaining here will do far more harm than good so I suggest pet owners experiencing pets with grave conditions to find a cardiologist that will actually treat the condition critically and wholeheartedly like they deserve! read more

This little clinic did a great job taking care of my little dog during her echocardiogram. Dr. Jung's assistant took time before the procedure and answered all of my questions. Then, Dr. Jung came to the room after the procedure and he explained everything thoroughly. I did not feel at all rushed. The echocardiogram is expensive but it is good preventative medicine. Highly recommend Dr. Jung. read more

Excellent clinic, the staff that treats you is very humane, friendly, loving, excellent service, the doctor is wonderful, professional

Dr. Jung and the entire staff at Echo Vet Cardio, from the people at the front desk to the techs who explain everything to you in the room before the procedure, were as good as one could possibly hope. I run a non profit rescue organization and have dealt with may vets over many years. This was first rate in every way. When we arrived for our appointment (20 minutes early) the exam room was already waiting for my dog Beau with his name on a sign on the door in bright colors with hearts. Just that alone felt so welcoming and inspired confidence that this is a doctor's office that cares. They were non stop busy but nothing was rushed. They were on time, they explained everything before and after, and when Dr. Jung came in to talk to me about the results and the future, he took all the time in the world to make everything clear; outlining all possibilities and what to expect. His course of action for Beau was designed for the best possible outcome and I have my paws crossed the medicine and followup care will give Beau a longer life. Dr. Jung was very caring, honest yet sympathetic. It's a real mark of how caring and excellent these people are that even though I got bad news I still left there with some hope and confidence that we would continue to be in good hands. Thank you so much to everyone there. read more

If I could give a zero I would, this place killed my baby and gave my family and I false hope. Dr. Jung took him off all medications for 2 days and permanently took him off the medication that was keeping the liquid out of his lungs, and I trusted them because I believed they knew what they were doing. It wasn't until my partner spoke with a his primary doctor at Banfield that we found out the truth, that this quak doctor make a massive mistake in taking him off all his medications especially when he was in a critical state. The doctor lied and told us he had a chance at 2 years with us and but in reality all my family got was 2 days. I don't wish this kind of loss on anyone, so save yourself the grief and find a better Cardiologist. read more

Dr Jung and his team are beyond amazing! He took the time to explain everything to me so I knew exactly what was happening with my fur baby
