    Inside of Clinic
    Lisa S.

    If I could give no stars I would... I've been here since 8am/8:32am checked in and they called me at 10:40am. I came inside before 10 min later to find out they have a 5 min grace period. I was never told that and stated but the employee that checked me in says she told me about the grace period she did not. I have been coming here for decades for my animals and I don't understand why the attitudes from staff are so rude and especially Zamira (the one that didn't tell me about the 5 min grace period). All while the office manager Kenzie keeps telling me to walk in is optional to stay and I could leave. The manager Kenzi told me the doctor went to lunch but 10 min later she still never went to lunch and now I have to wait until she gets back. You can go to Huntington Pet Vet if you want a low cost veterinary that doesn't treat you like a free clinic. I'm waiting only because I have appt on Tuesday with Huntington Pet Vet but concerned for my pets health and that's why I'm here. They need more compassionate caring staff for the animals and owners. The manager let me know her name isn't Kenzie but Kelly. These two are something else and go out their way to be confrontational as play victim. I was told I'm fired but was never hired and then extradited. I never planned on coming back here anyway because nobody should come to place for help with animals for this kind of treatment. I was told they took notes to back up their BS and GOD BLESS which wasn't meant as a blessing

    My cocker spaniel had gotten spayed here last week and everything has gone smoothly. It is pretty busy but with them being busy and under staff I thought the process was smooth and the staff was really friendly ! From checking in , to the waiting room, and then to picking her up and when they were done. No issues so far on her recovery!

    UPDATE AFTER 2 HOUR 30 MINS ON PHONE: I am once again put in the back of line at #17! Its the THIRD TIME! It seems like Rachel is signing off as business manager Alexandra on her replies to these reviews (see attached pic). This Rachel person also included a general info email for me to email her my number so I don't have to jump back and forth on the phone line...A GENERAL INFO EMAIL. I'd probably would wait days for a reply! PLEASE EVERYONE DO THESE VETS AND RECEPTIONIST A FAVOR, SINCE THEYRE SO BUSY, BY NOT CALLING OR EVEN THINK OF PUTTING YOUR FUR BABY WITH THIS VET HOSPITAL! Will definitely report this establishment to lose their license this is very unacceptable. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This review is solely for their phone system! Be aware, you will be on a wait for hours being jumped up and down the waiting line! 2 hours ago I called in to schedule an appointment for neutering my cat, which is ONLY BY CALL IN APPOINTMENT ONLY. I was #11 in line and over time went down to #7...then all of a sudden went back up to #11 in line! Now #11 again I waited and waited, over time I went down to #6...then guess what happens? I went back up the line to #17! Each jump back of the line NO ONE has answered me! I have no idea how I was jumped back behind the line TWICE. Unfortunately I am still waiting on this call, I wonder when it'll jump me back of the line? Maybe in another hour? Perhaps finding someone to code your website with an online scheduling because this is not it.

    I am so sad that I live so far away from the Garden Grove office! They at least answer the phone when you call! No leaving a message that you'll never receive a callback from or even know if the message was even LISTENED TO! People who love their furbabies NEED to talk to someone who cares as much as you do! This isn't McDonald's where it doesn't matter the kind of service you give. These are living, breathing beings and if the owners of the business can't hire MORE people to help take care of the overworked staff in Long Beach, then WHY are they even IN the business of helping people and their beloved pets?! THERE! I've said my piece! Thank you for listening to my RANT! May have to drive to Garden Grove....

    Updating for Ocean's recent occurrence. We came in for a regular Bordatella shot and I informed the…read morevet that I noticed a little blood in her urine. They ran urine and blood tests as well as x-rays. Her urine and blood results came out normal so she may have just had an infection that went away. However, they noticed a metal bottle cap in her stomach! Ocean often eats random things off the ground but she wouldn't have eaten a bottle cap unless it was in some food! Regardless, they tried a method and thought she would be able to pass it in the next couple of days. Well, a whole week passed and it didn't. So, we took her back and they needed to surgically remove it. The procedure seemed to go smoothly. We picked her up at the end of the day and she was still out of it, but relieved to come home and was able to drink and eat. We gave her medications as prescribed. The incision was about 9 inches across Ocean's belly. We did our best to keep it covered, but she did scratch it a bit. At her follow up appointment, they removed the sutures and provided antibiotics and a solution to keep it clean. At her third follow up, they provided antibiotics and ointment for the redness, but she healed pretty well in a matter of weeks. They said going through the esophagus would have damaged it, so this was the best approach to getting the bottle cap out. As a souvenir, they gave us the cap in a ziplock bag and we could see that it was starting to rust. They were great about calling and checking up on her and they did an excellent job stitching her back up. They gave us an estimate range of the cost prior to the procedure and luckily, it was on the lower end, but still a dent in our wallets. Ocean was a champ through this healing process despite not knowing what had even happened to her! Thanks again to the team here for helping Ocean out!

Our regular vet initially gave antibiotics and medication, and he said if it happens again, we should take her to the hospital for more test as he was thinking there was something in her bladder like stones. When the symptoms returned a week later, we knew we had to take her to the hospital. Since our usual clinic doesn't offer urgent care, we searched and found this hospital on Google. They were able to see us the same day. The front desk staff was very kind and welcoming, and even though the place is currently remodeling, everything still felt organized and efficient. They performed an X-ray, blood test and urinalysis, found a bladder stone, and clearly explained the situation and treatment options. Because the stone was too large to pass naturally, surgery was recommended. They walked us through the procedure, provided a clear estimate, and scheduled surgery for the very next day. The entire visit took about 3 hours, and we felt our dog was in very good hands the whole time. She is now on the road to recovery, and we're so grateful for the care she received. We also appreciate that this hospital is closer to home -- we've definitely found our new vet. Thank you to the whole team for taking such good care of our girl.

Thank you for reaching out and listening to our concerns. I would like to sincerely thanks Ambassador and their sister location, All American Animal for showing compassion during our recent visit on 02/24/2026. We are long-time patients of this clinic and have always trusted the team with our dogs' care, which is why we continue to come here whenever our pets are not feeling well. We brought Kino in because he was experiencing excessive itchiness, redness, vomiting, and was clearly in discomfort. Despite the office being very busy, we truly appreciated the time that Dr. Meina took to see him and make sure he received the treatment he needed. From the moment we were brought in, he listened attentively as I explained Kino's symptoms and concerns. It meant so much to feel heard and understood, especially when your pet is clearly not feeling well and in distress. Dr. Meina took the time to thoroughly assess Kino's condition and explain the available treatment options, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed with the plan of care. His patience, professionalism, and compassion helped make an already stressful situation much easier for both us and our dog. I would also like to thank Marisol, the manager, who reached out after we addressed our concerns and helped refer us to their sister clinic's urgent care so that Kino could receive the care he needed as soon as possible. Despite some initial misunderstanding, the office took the time to listen to our concerns and worked with us to find a way to assist in getting Kino the care he needed. That level of communication and willingness to help truly made a difference. Veterinarians and their teams play such an important role in relieving pain, managing illness, and ensuring our pets are comfortable and safe. We love this clinic and appreciate the dedication the staff shows to their patients and families. Thank you again to Dr. Meina and Marisol for taking the time to listen, support us, and make sure Kino received the care he needed.

Every few months or so I notice she balloons up, strains, the inevitable sludge emerges, and I go "yep! It's time for Dr. Meina!" where we can usually get an appointment within a week or so, and she gets her x-rays and expression done. Dr. Meina is insightful, kind, compassionate, and makes the entire process less stressful on the both of us. It also helps that Ambassador is affordable in our current economy. We're a fan through and through.
