It also seems like it was the meds making him too sick to eat. He's been home only 2 days now and is eating far more than he was before. The radioiodine therapy is so worth it! We also really appreciated the cameras. It was hard to be apart from our cat for several days, but being able to watch him on the screen made it easier. The office is very organized. They tell you what's going to happen when it's going happen and they stay true to their promises to call and communicate with you. We were very pleased with the service!

I brought my cat here for a CT on the recommendation of an emergency vet in the same center…read more Getting an appointment was challenging due to what was explained as staffing issues (Our phones are busy, we will have to call you back - and not getting a call back) but once I made the appointment on the third attempt everything was great. I was told the CT would take about 2-3 hours so I left to do a couple errands and came back and waited in their lobby. I was there as bit over 4 hours. The staff was really friendly and it is a nice, quiet facility. The doctor reviewed the procedure and let me know they did see something that needed a biopsy, which sunk my heart. He went over a few possibilities and explained in detail what could happen that night, such as a bloody nose, which I am so grateful he told me because when it happened, it didnt cause panic. I did send an email the next day with a photo and a question but did not get a response. I lagged on writing this review, as I did get the results back and my cat has cancer so my world has been turned upside down, so I forget the name of the gal at the front desk that I chatted with a lot this day about cats and birds and other things, she was really nice. My cat seemed comfortable in the exam room which made me happy.

I spoke with the doctor at Animal Diagnostic Laboratory several times in Tustin regarding a…read morenecropsy and potential toxicology assessment for my pet. From the start, he was exceptionally transparent. He clearly explained the necropsy process -- including specimen handling, histopathology, and the limitations of postmortem toxicology -- and then candidly told me that he would not be able to provide an accurate toxicology analysis in this case. Instead of guessing or overpromising, he referred me to another facility better equipped for that type of testing. That level of honesty is rare in this field. Most people would have simply taken the case and left me with inconclusive results -- he did the opposite. His professionalism, integrity, and scientific clarity stood out immediately. For anyone dealing with a difficult loss or complex veterinary question, this is exactly the kind of ethical guidance you want. I left the conversation feeling informed, respected, and genuinely grateful for his candor

We lost our cat all of a sudden. He was our first pet and he was a very energetic cat. We were…read moredevastated to know the cause of his death. We called some animals hospitals around, they either didn't accept us or charged us at an unacceptable rate. In the end, we found the Animal Diagnostic Laboratory. Dr. Shahriar took us and he accepted our request to do the cremation after the necropsy. This made us feel kind of better after a mournful day. We brought the cat to the lab the next morning. We didn't put his body in the fridge overnight. If you are in such a situation, you need to put the body in the fridge. Dr. Shahriar promised to give us the result in 2-3 weeks and will keep us posted. We got the necropsy report in time. Dr. Shahriar performed pathology analysis on most of the body parts and found the potential cause of the cat's death. He pointed out a deadly disease that we had seen our cat had the symptoms before. We agreed it is very likely this is the cause. We feel very sorry to the cat that we neglected his symptoms all the time. In the meanwhile, we were very impressed that Dr. Shahriar can find this disease with limited context. Dr. Shahriar is very professional and warm-hearted. We are very grateful to choose his service. The whole process is very smooth. He explained the report to us and answered all our questions. If you are unfortunately in the same situation, we highly recommend Dr. Shahriar.

Leslie at the front desk is very pleasant and the office is nice and clean. Jack was very comfortable with Dr. An. I was given a written estimate on the low and the high side. I scheduled an appointment a few days later after his bloodwork showed he should be fine with anesthesia. I brought Jack in at 8:30 and I was able to pick him up at 3:30. Dr. An called after Jack was sedated to let me know that his teeth needed to be extracted. 6 teeth! Jack did great and he is acting like a puppy again. He's able to eat without pain! The charge ended up right in the middle.

While we saw missing nails and a few small cuts (it's clear he was fighting for his life) our cat couldn't walk on his front leg or allow us to touch it. Rushed him over to here and he was seen immediately. They completed a medical exam for $200 and didn't recommend x rays because all the bones were intact. He had an abrasion on his left armpit and they prescribed him medications and antibiotics. I appreciate they didn't try to upsell me on x rays (that would have been $700....) or even a rabies shot (which I thought was weird and I had to ask about it) instead told me to monitor him to see if he can walk in the next week or so. He did get pain meds and antibiotics ($30 total). Facility was clean and staff was nice, appreciate them not upselling me on procedures after his exam and gave me an honest evaluation.

This guy sounds good on paper, but my personal experience with him is a Vet who cares nothing for…read morethe animals he's to diagnose. He was used by my regular Vet as a traveling cardiologist. My cat was scheduled for a diagnostic Cardiac Ultrasound. He insists that all pets he is to see must arrive at the Vet by 8am although (in my case) he never arrives until at least 12 noon or later. I waited with my cat, a very sweet, calm male cat for more than 4 hours for him to show up (the vet tells me he won't provide any specific time of arrival. Much to my frustration and my vet's frustration, he attempted the ultrasound and "as he was going out the door" told my vet that my cat was too agitated. My vet aid that she would have medicated him so he could have had the Ultrasound, but he didn't bother telling them. My vet suggested that we take our cat to a center that does Cardiac Ultrasound rather than attempt to us Dr. Brewer as this same thing might be likely to happen (it sounds like it's sort of his MO). We agreed that even if meds were ordered for my cat, by the time we waited 4 hours or more the meds would have worn off. If your Vet recommends any cardiac screening for your pet and they have an outside Vet. Cardiologist come in, ask who it is and if it's this guy go to an independent center (like VCA) to get their test.

The staff is top notch with care, kindness, compassion, and thoroughness. The staff is so attentive, and you can reach out via text or calls or emails and they are on top of getting back to you. Which is important when you have questions and concerns. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Burner. I feel he goes above and beyond. He's so compassionate when things are tough and scary, and seems to really celebrate with you when there are even small victories and improvements with your pet. I've had some serious up and down scares, and the loss of a pet, and he and his staff have been so supportive through it all. The vet techs and front of house staff really make you feel welcome and do their best to answer questions, and even comfort you. I've had my fair share of tears there and all the staff has just been incredible. Shout out to Shana, she's a true rock star in that office! My friends with cats, even if they have a vet they like for their other animals, I rave and recommend Dr. Burner for their cats, it makes a huge difference having someone who specializes in cats, he caught the cancer immediately that my last vet dismissed as a bad tooth. Getting on top of that ASAP gave me more time with my Ramsay. Again, the best there is! We love Dr. Burner!

Dr. Nemetz is so passionate about his work and it shows. He was straight forward and honest which I…read moreappreciate. He had a handout for me to take home as a first time cockatiel owner and provided me with a knowledge of information that I will be using to guarantee my cockatiel lives a healthier life. The dedication he serves is so inspiring. He teaches future generations of veterinarians and does conferences around the world to spread his knowledge. It's a pleasure to have met him and to be so local to his clinic. I selfishly hope he doesn't retire anytime soon as his clinic has saved so many birds and helped so many owners, its hard to come by a avian doctor especially one like Dr. Nemetz! I left my appointment very satisfied and extremely grateful. Chunkers displayed minimal stress during the exam which is another plus! Thank you again to The Bird Clinic!

The…read morefront desk checked me in, had me fill out paperwork and took my parrot in to the vet rooms where she could be calm. The vet came in soon after and I cannot state how amazing it was to watch. Dr. Nemetz is like the bird whisperer, normally my parrot is so frightened of vet visits. He talked to me about the isues my parrot was experiencing and proposed some things to do. We agreed to do blood work and he was able to check all of her vitals and blood without sedating her - she was so relaxed the whole time and it made me feel really good to be in the hands of a vet who understood birds to help them feel safer even in highly stressful situations. Over all he spent a good amount of time explaining things and giving recommendations. So far my parrot is improving and we will be going back. The only challenge was the price, its expensive. Partly because its such a specialty and small clinic and secondly because he is pretty open with he will recommend any and all things needed to make sure a bird is well. He's very deliberate but depending on the tests and things he doesn't skimp out, for example the blood tests we did were sent out same day and to a professional specialty lab. Other places can do it cheaper in house but as he said you don't get the detailed analysis that way. So yeah, be prepared for the price to be high, but front desk can walk you through estimated costs before you go. If you care about your bird, would definitely recommend him .
