We struggled through a condition that kept disguising itself until it was finally unmasked as entropion, an inward-rolling eyelid so easily mistaken for infection. I felt like Sisyphus, and the boulder was this problem. It got heavier, and I couldn't abandon the struggle. That daily weight forged a bond, so much so that when we finally reached the top of the mountain, nothing felt surreal. Everything faded back into our days of sweat, the way mountain fog absorbs the grander view in detail. And then came the emptiness. The strange abandonment of having nothing left to fight for. Until Leonardo climbed onto my chest, dug his head into me, and frolicked the way he always has, except this time, I'm certain he was thankful. The grandest thing I could have imagined. Cats most definitely whisper. And when you're most receptive, they speak the most enormous truths. Dr. Soheil Shah, looking at his eye in this picture, your artistry is clear to me. It will fade on the outside. Not for me.

I am writing this review to warn other pet owners based on my recent experience with this clinic…read moreAlicia Pacific Veterinary Center. Following my dog's neuter surgery here, he suffered a severe post operative complication involving internal bleeding in his scrotum, causing him immense pain and requiring an emergency hospital visit costing $2,200. When my dog was clearly in distress, I repeatedly reached out to this vet via calls and texts seeking immediate medical guidance. I received zero response or assistance during an urgent health situation. Furthermore, when I asked the clinic to help cover a portion of the emergency room bills resulting from this complication and their lack of follow up care, they completely refused. The lack of post surgical support and total disregard for a patient in distress is unacceptable. I strongly advise pet owners to look elsewhere for veterinary care. Carolyn Perra

My dog had significant inflammation in multiple areas of his paw, including between the toes. However, the veterinarian did not examine the underside of his foot or the interdigital webbing, which is where a large portion of the problem was visible. Instead, I was immediately encouraged to proceed with a needle aspirate and cell analysis quoted at approximately $600-$700. I was uncomfortable moving forward with that without first addressing the obvious inflammation and possible infection. I was also quoted additional fees (around $65) to clean a single wound on one toe, while the rest of the paw condition was not discussed or treated. I asked for oral antibiotics and was told no he did not need them, I was prescribed one ointment called Anamax $35, even after I expressly asked for oral antibiotics she said no he did not need them, (the first thing the other hospital i.e. the second vet said, "we need to get him on oral antibiotics for six weeks as well as steroids", we started that protocol and within one day, I've seen huge improvements.) more in this,. After leaving Sendero, My dog was in so much pain, I sought care elsewhere. The second veterinarian examined the entire paw, including between the toes, and treated him with appropriate medications as mentioned above ( oral antibiotics and oral anti-inflammatory medications ). He has already shown noticeable improvement. I paid about $110 for this visit at Sendero and did not feel that my dog received a thorough evaluation or appropriate initial care. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning or recommending this clinic.

One specific incident I remember was when our Labradoodle had sneakily ingested plant food from one of our plumeria plants. It was over a weekend so we took her to the Urgent Care vet while Rancho Niguel Animal Hospital was notified. Thankfully she was ok coming out of that situation, but immediately that following Monday we received a call from RNAH asking how she was doing as they checked on her status. I found this to be very comforting and was impressed by the care and compassion we received from the team. We're now happy to start the care of our new 4-month-old Standard Poodle here and we hope to continue seeing them throughout his puppy days into adulthood. Dr. Echolds is patient, kind, and caring.

This 1 star review is for the administration and front desk people. A few days ago we started our dog on an antibiotic pill. It was 3 days tops and our dog started to have a bad reaction so we called to explore an alternative option which we were told would be a $200 shot. We asked if there was a way to credit the antibiotic pill charge seeing as though he had an adverse affect and were told no, that the office manager stated that was not possible. When I asked if I could speak to the office manager I was told no. When I asked if I could speak with Dr. Pat, I was told no and that I'd have to schedule and pay for an in person consultation. I asked if he could please call me back and I was told no. I asked if there was anyone else above the front desk girl I could speak with to dispute the charge and I was told no. This is a terrible business practice and it's left such a bad impression for me. Dr. Pat is a great guy and I can't imagine that he would not allow for his customers to dispute a charge.

I tried to make it work because I live close by but I will never come back. After they charged me hundreds of dollars and put my dog through sedation, with still no answers, I was able to get a second opinion and definitive diagnosis at an ethical and reputable vet for $75. When I called Marina Hills Animal to inform the office of our findings they told me their vet had diagnosed my dog in their internal paperwork but never informed me. Instead, I was told they would have to biopsy to know for sure. Another astronomical bill. Fraudulent doesn't even begin to describe my experience here. Same thing with my cat. I came in for a scrape on the chin and a chipped tooth they suggested surgery, which required bloodwork. They pushed my cat to the limit and it was traumatizing for all. Do not come here.

What we appreciated most was that we never felt rushed or dismissed. Dr. Vedadi took the time to listen to our concerns, explain what he was looking for, walk us through the different tests and options, and make sure we understood each step of the process. When your dog isn't feeling like himself and you don't immediately know why, that level of communication and compassion makes such a difference. It was very clear throughout the entire process that Dr. Vedadi genuinely cared about Cooper and wanted to make sure we were doing everything we could for him. We can't thank him enough for being so thorough, reassuring, and kind during a stressful time for our family. We feel very fortunate to have Cooper in his care and would absolutely recommend Dr. Vedadi to anyone looking for a veterinarian they can trust.

They didn't call back until the next day and told me they would not be willing to see us because I gave negative feedback about their pushiness selling their brands of dog food on facebook. For context I randomly commented on someone else's post to provide my own feedback on this vet, this was not a personal post putting them on blast. There are many other reasons I didn't love this place but I hadn't needed a vet for anything recently so I I thought it would be easiest to just return here since my dog is sick and they have all of her records. It is incredibly petty that they kept notes on a comment I must have made a year ago and refused to see my sick dog because of it. Clearly they aren't in the business of caring for sick or injured animals and just want to make money off their dog food I guess. Thank you for rejecting our visit, it has pushed me to find a better vet for our dog and I'm very happy to try a new vet who came very highly recommended.
