    sleep well my baby
    Michelle L.

    if i could give 10 stars, i would. i had this placed saved under "rocky" for all this medical needs. my bff had taken rocky's dad here a couple years back after we were searching for a trustworthy neurology center. so i can't believe i am writing this now. my primary vet (PAW Veterinary Center in RB) could not diagnose my furbaby. it went from tummy issues to possible torn "acl" in the knees to the spine, possible ivdd. after multiple visits to that vet and thousands of $$ (without pet insurance) my baby was getting worse, the meds prescribed weren't helping. i called veterinary neurology center, cori answered the phone, i imagined i sounded so distraught when i called on a monday, she was so kind and patient and asked me all the right questions. we both knew i needed to take him in as soon as possible. i got an appt three days later (thursday) with dr yenlie furman. dr furman listened to our concerns and we felt so comforted during rocky's exam. we went over the time line of events and his symptoms. she wanted to get a MRI done. she assured me it was not his back or knees that were making rocky act out of his character. she said it was either the neck or brain and needed the MR to confirm. YES, do whatever you need to help my baby. we opted to wait, we grabbed lunch nearby, I received txts on updates. long story short, my baby had a inoperable brain tumor that was growing within his brain, pushing pressure against his spinal cord, which made all the sense in the world. but, my baby having cancer? how? why? dr furman went over the MR images and X-Rays, we went through meds and next options. she offered to lay him the rest then but i refused as i wanted to take him home for just a few more days. rocky's health was declining fast as he had an aggressive tumor. the prognosis was poor and i needed to make a decision quickly. we called back saturday to request same day "forever nap" we met with dr. kiley jensen, who perform his nap time. she was very compassionate til the very end. we had a private room and stayed for as long as we wanted. im really lost for words. rocky was my child. it is so heartbreaking to lose that type of love. aimee and stephanie the dr assistants were truly amazing, handled the process with care and respect. veterinary neurology center is the only specialty center in socal that focuses on management of neurological conditions for dogs and cats. so save this! parking: they have two offices, we were in both, they are both located towards the back of the buildings. 3069 and 3051. but no issues with parking at either office. rest up sugarplum.

    It is with full confidence I recommend Veterinary Neurology Center to you. Suddenly, our 6 year old beagle was in constant pain. His amazing regular vet ran blood work, took x-rays, did an ultra sound and put him on meds. He determined Winston needed to seen by a neurologist and was adamant to only take him to Veterinary Neurology Center in Tustin. Dr. Schissler and the entire staff are exceptional. Dr. Schissler gave Winston one week to show improvement before performing an MRI. Ultimately, an MRI revealed a ruptured, extruding disc between C6 & C7. Dr. Schissler preformed surgery and the very next day Winston walked out with no limp and he had immediate relief. We are still amazed. Winston can once again walk, run, itch, bark, perk his ears and do all the things we took for granted. Our family is very grateful to Dr. Schissler and everyone at Veterinary Neurology Center.

    I couldn't recommend this place enough. After several hopeless weeks of worsening IVDD symptoms despite strict rest with our wiener dog, we were referred to VNC. They scheduled an appointment two days in advance on a Saturday, and had our boy's surgery done that night. The urgency, care, and thoroughness of the treatment brought back the happy boy we were scared we lost. I understand the daunting price of surgery, but you pay a premium for top-notch care. After all, it's SPINE surgery, I wouldn't want to trust me boy with what I felt was a discounted service. Our pet insurance helped cover a big chunk of the cost, and I'd pay it again if I had to. If you find yourself in the same place I was scrolling through countless reviews of different vets hoping to find SOME kind of solution for your pup, take my word: VNC is somewhere you can trust taking your pup. They changed ours' life for the better.

    Grace Kelly on her way home after surgery

    My experience with Veterinary Neurology Center in Tustin has been exceptional, and I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Yenlie Furman and her team. My young rescue dog, Grace Kelly, recently underwent cervical spine surgery. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and kind. Their warmth put both Grace and me at ease during a very stressful time. Grace's surgeon, Dr. Furman, was everything I could have hoped for in a specialist--knowledgeable, empathetic, and deeply reassuring. She took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and clarity, helping me feel confident about proceeding with ventral slot surgery. Her expertise and care quite literally saved Grace's mobility. Remarkably, Grace was already acting like her playful self just one day after surgery. A special thank you also to Aimee, Dr. Furman's assistant, whose warmth and compassion made a stressful time feel manageable. From pre-op to post-op, she was gentle with Grace and incredibly kind to me, with thoughtful communications every step of the way. This team is a rare find--highly skilled, compassionate, and deeply committed to both their pet patients and the humans who love them. Their skill and dedication gave Grace the best chance at a healthy future, and I believe she has many happy, mobile years ahead because of them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend VNC to anyone needing first-rate neurologic care for their pet.

    I highly recommend VNC, I come here biweekly to see dr. Heller for my dog's acupuncture and I could not be happier with how she truly cares for my pet and always guiding me towards the best home care ad well. Dr. Heller is genuinely passionate about what she does and goes above and beyond for her patients. The staff is always so kind as well and make sure they make you feel very comfortable.

    The cost of the surgery was upward of 10k and below 15k. Use CareCredit when possible to offset the immediate payments.

    We are so happy with the care we received from Dr. Furman and the team at Veterinary Neurology Center. From start to finish, the care and communication were tops. It was also very easy to reach out to them with any concerns we had after the surgery. Our 9 year old terrier/poodle suddenly stopped using his back legs and needed emergency back surgery. They were able to take care of him the same day as an emergency add-in. The recovery at home has been a lot of work as they shared would be, but it has been totally worth it. It is now five weeks later, and we are over-the-moon we have our sweet boy back and feeling better. I can't express how grateful I am. Our family sends so much praise and thanks to Dr. Furman and Veterinary Neurology Center. Highly recommend!!!

    UPDATE..... Dr. Jensen has been soooooo amazing! She has followed up several times and alerted us that the Meningitis Encephalitis was probably due to the Distemper vaccination. ...so the vaccination that is supposed to keep my dog healthy almost kills him? Interesting?? Nevertheless, this place is amazing and saved him! I can't thank the doctors and staff enough! Highly recommend!

    How much do they charge for an MRI for a frenchie with no insurance?

    I don't but I would avoid this clinic. They do not seem to care much about patients that do not have critical conditions. There are other places that will care more for your little one.

    This review is long overdue. I've been bringing my dog, Chelsea, to OC Veterinary for 10 years,…read moreever since I moved her down from the Bay Area. Chelsea recently passed away at 17, almost 18. She had such a long, happy life because of the care she received here. Chelsea was my baby, and I know how hard it can be to find a good vet. Pets can't talk, but you can see when they are genuinely cared for--and Chelsea got the best care at OC Veterinary. From the receptionists to the doctors, she was loved by everyone, and I am so grateful for that. Chelsea saw both Dr. Horn and, mostly, Dr. Nikki--both are exceptional veterinarians. We saw Dr. Nikki the most, and we had a very special connection with her. After Chelsea passed, Dr. Nikki even reached out to check on us, which was incredibly kind. She is practical, compassionate, and everything you could want in a vet. Chelsea also saw the groomer, Heather, who was very gentle and careful with her. Chelsea had back issues and was an older little lady, so it was comforting to know she was in safe hands. Sandra and Steve also made a big impact on Chelsea's life, especially Steve. They cared for her like she was their own family. Steve even called to check on us after Chelsea passed, which meant so much. I'm sorry this review comes so late, but I feel Chelsea would have wanted me to write it, and I want to honor her memory. No one enjoys visiting the doctor, but I am so grateful that we found such a wonderful facility to care for Chelsea. I loved her with all my heart, and after our family, OC Veterinary loved her most.

The surgeon demonstrated a very high level of skill and confidence, which gave me immediate trust that my dog was in the best possible hands.

I took him to a different hospital at first, and the experience there was very poor and depressing. It felt like they were just doing business, not caring for a living being who was terrified and hurt. Three weeks later, Pepper suddenly stopped eating and began throwing up everything he tried to eat. That's when I brought him to Lee Animal Hospital. His liver had started failing, and the chances weren't good. My daughter and I went to pick him up each day during his three days of treatment, hoping he might have another miracle in him. From the beginning, Dr. Lee was clear and honest about Pepper's condition. I appreciated that more than anything. He didn't try to give me false hope or push unnecessary treatments. I never once felt like he was taking advantage of the situation -- he was simply being truthful, patient, and compassionate during an incredibly painful time. The rest of the team was kind and tried their best. Many of them were very young, but you could see they genuinely cared about Pepper and wanted to help. Even though Pepper didn't get better, I'm grateful for the integrity and care Dr. Lee showed, and for the effort the whole team put into supporting us through Pepper's final days. Pepper was a fighter -- gentle, loyal, and braver than any little dog should ever have to be. After everything he survived, he deserved honesty and compassion at the end, and that's exactly what Dr. Lee gave him. For that, I'll always be thankful.

    My initial review will be short and sweet!…read more I walked into Lee animal hospital with no appointment seeking a quote to get my pup spayed. The front desk was so friendly, they were patient, thorough, and answered all of my questions (even the slightly neurotic ones lol) The hospital is clean, spacious, and makes both you and your fur baby feel comfortable and safe (my pup was happy as a clam in the lobby as I asked my questions) First impressions really do matter because it took all of 10 minutes before I decided to schedule and book my pup's spay. In addition their prices are super reasonable (and I've visited every vet within a 20 mile radius of this one over the past couple of months) I will follow up with another review once my pup has had her spay!
