I drive far to come here as this was the location I chose when I use to live near to here and keep returning because I think they are good. I will not return, my appointment was made for 10:30 and I am writing this as I wait with my 2 cats for 2 shots that take less than 10 min to do + the exam. I was just told that they do not have rooms available so why book appointments when they're slammed on Saturdays? Just as I write this at 10:57 they have taken 2 animals before me and that adds insult in injury. 11:23 - told the tech my estimate did not include $5 off per shot that they do for the weekend appointments. Hence also making an appointment for the weekend has its perks, not worth it if the techs are so busy that they forget.

I'm so done with this place. I had been a loyal client for 20 years until this past month. The…read moreratings here used to be really high until they were sold to a larger vet company. This seems to be the trend in the industry. Small independent vets getting purchased by the big guys. Next comes the push for profits, the needless upselling and the complete loss of confidence that the vet acts in your best interest. My dog injured himself during play time. A CCL injury (similar to an ACL in humans), the most common in dogs and cats. I brought him in and met with Veronica Botros. She never touched my dog. Just heard about the symptoms and immediately ordered a full blood panel and X-rays. Stated that surgery was probably needed and the blood panel was necessary to see if the anti-inflammatory and pain meds would be a problem on his stomach. I was also talked into a deep ear cleaning and a supposedly new two-phase vaccination. When I saw the costs for everything, I pushed back. All of a sudden, they dropped the price of the blood panel by only screening for what was needed in the first place. Total upselling garbage. My dog is suffering and they are padding the bill. I was there for three hours. I finally got a bill for $900 and was told that someone would view the X-rays and get back to me. A day later, they emailed stating his CCL was indeed torn and surgery was recommended. $4,900 estimate. My bullshit meter was in overdrive. She never touched him! We spent the next two weeks keeping the dog under limited movement and treating with the prescribed meds. He got better but was still favoring the leg. I went out and got a second opinion from my vet in Tustin that takes care of my cat. We have used him since we have some unique issues with the cat and this guy was highly recommended. When this vet saw my dog, he performed a cranial drawer test, something that AAA never performed. He said the ligament was "partially" torn and surgery was not recommended at this time. AAA recommended 6-8 weeks of 100% crate rest. Plus, another 6-8 weeks after surgery if we took that option. That would be pure torture for my little guy. The new vet says to slowly exercise with short slow walks and the same type of limited movement we have been doing. Surgery may still be needed down the road but this is a much more viable option for my family. I can no longer recommend AAA and refuse to go back there. Profits over patients.

He was actively bleeding, and the staff was able to urgently fit him in right away. From the front desk to the nurses and doctors, everyone was compassionate, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable during a very stressful time. Dr. Babcock was outstanding. He thoroughly explained the treatment plan, was completely upfront about costs (which we found very reasonable), and stitched Kota up beautifully. We truly appreciated the time he took to explain his findings and procedure in detail, which gave us a lot of reassurance and confidence. The next day, we discovered a second wound, and Dr. Belluz was able to see Kota immediately. She carefully treated the wound and clearly explained all of our options with patience and compassion. What really sets this office apart is how much they genuinely care. The team followed up with us throughout Kota's recovery, and every interaction made us feel supported as pet parents. We cannot thank the team enough. Kota received exceptional care, and we are incredibly grateful.

I only waited five minutes, and Skittles was seen by a vet tech (I think her name is Zia). She was AMAZING. She is definitely a cat person, and she was so loving towards Skittles! Very knowledgeable as well. Dr. Saini came in and spent a little time with her, checking her eye because she had a cloudy area on her cornea. He did a test that showed it was likely scar tissue, and we got her tested for Herpes and Calcivirus (she was negative for both). He did hear a slight heart murmur, but we are hopeful she will grow out of it. When I was concerned over the next few days about the color of her stools (black, but not tarry), one of the vet techs took the time to call me and reassure me she was okay. I was also impressed that the owner of the practice, Dr. Mann, called me to check up on everything and give me the good results from the viral test. I have had vet techs and front desk workers call me with news in the past, and it is much more reassuring coming from a vet.

When I called to clarify, I was told the clinic had decided to stop working with outside pharmacies--without notifying clients. I even asked if they could provide a courtesy call to Chewy, since Chewy accepts verbal authorization to speed things up, but the front desk staff refused.
