    I'm actually surprised of all the bad reviews on Yelp within the past few days. Our experience was excellent yesterday (Monday) around 3:30 pm. The hospital it's located in a weird location, there is plenty of parking, and good signs directing you towards the front door. Very helpful front staff, very kind and welcoming. They had to bring a flat bed to the car because we couldn't moved the dog comfortably. They took really good care of the dog from beginning to end. The doctor and other staff were giving us updates pretty regularly. Very clean lobby, coffee, water, and sodas are available for free! I would recommend it! Our experience was really great!

    I brought my cat here on a referral. She was a healthy cat that was declining quickly. With a thorough assessment and some additional labs and vitals, she was found to be severely hypotensive with pancreatitis. Dr. Mettler was attentive, a great listener, and very caring and professional. She cared for my cat in a gentle way. The communication throughout the process was very appreciated. I ultimately needed to make the crazy, painful decision to put my beautiful cat to rest. Dr. Mettler stayed late to bring her to me so that my son and I could say goodbye. Thank you to Dr. Mettler, Bri (Triage), and the entire staff for the attentiveness and support.

    Beyond disappointed with the care here. My dog's abnormal labs were dismissed as "mildly progressive" with a plan to recheck in a month -- no urgency, just a generic email and diet advice. Meanwhile, her condition worsened and she ended up hospitalized. To make it worse, her primary doctor was out of town and there was no coverage or proper consultation. That's unacceptable. As a medical professional, I can say those labs should not have been brushed off -- this felt like neglect. If you bring your pet here, advocate hard and don't accept "wait and see" when something is clearly wrong.

    Back to normal :)

    I have had 2 different experiences with blue pearl. Both were great! I feel like they are honest and genuine people who love pets. My dog is more like my baby and I fully trust them. I first brought my dog Sonny here in May 2024 after leaving another local vet and having to get a second opinion.. the other vet wanted to perform an unnecessary surgery claiming Sonny had a hole in his stomach. It turned out Sonny had low blood sugar and needed some softer food. I returned September of 2025 when Sonny was not feeling well, wheezing and choking.. it turned out he had kennel cough. I was able to take him in at 2:30am, which isn't ideal but I'm so grateful they are open at this time. The vet was quick, transparent and prescribed medication for Sonny and now he is back to normal!! Thank you blue pearl :)

    I was recommended to Dr. Wayne Berry by my veterinarian at banfield, I'm very glad we follow through because he's a wonderful doctor and has given us a lot of great advice regarding our little dog who will need surgery for his bulging disc, everyone there were very nice and very accommodating, and hopefully within the next couple of weeks, we will know exactly what the next step will be, but as for now he definitely was not pushing Surgery after examining our little boy who is a 17 pound Shihpoo, and wants to see how his hind legs respond after finishing his prednisolone, so will have to wait and see right now! he will be 12 years old in October, they also waved the $277 consultation fee since we are on the banfield plan which I was very happy to hear I would definitely recommend blue pearl pet hospital and Doctor Berry with my dog, who is the love of my life

    I am so grateful for the incredible care my dog received from the team at BluePearl Pet Hospital. From the moment I dropped him off, the team treated him with such kindness and urgency. Dr. Kramer personally called me within two hours with a detailed update on his progress and subsequently, as he continued to improve, which gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful morning. I am especially thankful for Dr. Kramer and attendant Jenn Schwartz--their compassion, expertise, and clear communication made all the difference. It's rare to find a team that cares this deeply, and I'm truly appreciative of everything they did for us.

    We can't say enough about the extraordinary care that BluePearl provided our dog, Cookie over the past week. We wanted to especially thank Drs Sran & Mettler and techs Sam and Sarah. They kept us updated and went above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Outstanding! We are so thankful and appreciative. Thank you to all the terrific people at BluePearl Irvine!

Thanks to All the staff in helping try to ease our burden too! our 9 year old Pup is doing very well. But now time to rest.

    I feel this hospital saved my very sick dog. Back in late 2022, I brought my young dog here who spontaneously started throwing up back to back. She eventually was admitted and had to stay in the hospital here multiple nights. I was absolutely terrified during this whole experience, and everyone treated me and (most importantly) my dog very kindly. They called me every morning with an update right on schedule and let me come and visit her daily. They were also able to give me all the paperwork from the stay that my pet insurance needed and it was approved without further questions from insurance. I had my normal vet look over everything once she was released and he also didn't have any concerns. At the end of the day, I gave them a very sick dog and they gave her back to me healthy and she hasn't been sick again since and that's all I hoped for! If my dogs got sick again, I would bring them here. Here's a pic of what my dog looked like while hospitalized (feeding tube and all) and what she looks like today (happy as a clam!) All my love to anyone out there taking care of a sick pet.

Everyone here has given me and my dog Kira nothing but love, care, consideration and understanding. I rescued my dog Kira from an unfortunate situation when see was what we thought was 4months. Upon our first visit, Dr Kwon right away let me know that she was closer to 6months. Because this is a private practice and essentially a family run vet, Dr Kwon was able to Kira and I out with what was within my budget. He genuinely cares and wants to not only help, but provide the best course of action/treatment that makes sense for your animal. Over the next year, not only was the puppy package that is available at this animal hospital essentially almost all inclusive (I was lucky because Kira was healthy and we didn't need anything outside of the long list of things that were included in that package) but even then, if things came up that wasn't a part of the initial package, the staff and Dr Kwon gave full explanations and worked within my budget constraints. It got to the point that my dog Kira no longer feared,but rather looked forward to seeing everyone at Irvine Great Park Animal Hospital. Lastly, Kira and I needed to relocate out of state back to Hawaii. If you know anything about that process ...it's a lot and it gets very expensive. Dr Kwon and his staff assisted in all the necessary steps needed to make the transition easy and saved me at least $500-$700 on just the necessary blood work (FAVN test) to bring a dog to the state of Hawaii. I highly recommend this place, I need to be up to OC for work every month even after this move and I intend on popping in to visit Dr and Staff only because of the the relationships that we have built over the last yr. Love this place!!!

Her incision and stitches did not look right, and she developed open wounds, signs of infection, and significant discomfort. I contacted the office multiple times, sent photos, and brought her in for a follow-up, yet I was repeatedly told that everything looked normal and that she was fine. After continuing to raise concerns, I was finally told to take her to Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital. I spent the night there and was charged nearly an additional $1,000 to have her incision re-stitched. It was incredibly frustrating to have repeatedly voiced concerns, only to end up paying significantly more to address a problem I had been told multiple times was "fine." I expressed how unhappy I was with the situation and was told the medical director would contact me. I never received a call. More recently, I noticed a pattern on the whites of my cat's eyes and sent a photo to the office. I was told by the vet that it was not normal and that I should either bring her in or see a veterinary ophthalmologist. I followed their recommendation and went to the ophthalmologist they referred me to, only to be told after a 20 second exam that what I was seeing was completely normal. I still had to pay the office visit and exam fees. Between the complications from her spay, my concerns being repeatedly dismissed, the lack of follow-up from the medical director, and being unnecessarily worried and referred to a specialist for something that turned out to be normal, I've lost confidence in the care provided here. My experiences with Dr. Ramos and other veterinarians at both the primary care office and hospital have left me feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously and that the level of care, communication, and professionalism was not what I would expect from a veterinary practice. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

    I can't recommend Bliss Animal Hospital enough, especially Dr. Nayara and the incredible team…read more My sphynx cat, Dobby, developed an anal gland abscess, and before goiing to Bliss, I took him to two other veterinary hospitals. Both recommended surgery under anesthesia. The problem is that Dobby has a heart condition and von Willebrand disease, so his specialists do not recommend anesthesia unless it is absolutely necessary because of the risks involved. At the other hospitals, I felt completely hopeless. I was essentially being told that if he had surgery there were significant risks because of his medical conditions, but if he didn't have surgery there were also risks if the abscess worsened or ruptured. Basically they said that this will not resolve on its own without surgical intervention and being put under anesthesia. As his mom, I felt like there was no good option and I was terrified of making the wrong decision. When I brought Dobby to Bliss Animal Hospital, everything changed. Dr. Nay took the time to carefully evaluate him instead of immediately recommending surgery. She was able to express more of the abscess, gave him a long-acting antibiotic injection, and even contacted Dobby's cardiologist to make sure the pain medication she wanted to prescribe would be safe for his heart. That level of thoroughness and teamwork meant everything to me. Because Dobby was having leakage from the abscess, he developed a severe skin burn around his rear end that looked incredibly painful. Dr. Nay recommended medical-grade Manuka honey, and it honestly worked like magic. The area healed so quickly, and it brought him so much relief. The results were incredible. The swelling continued to go down, the abscess completely resolved, and Dobby healed without needing surgery. I am beyond grateful that Dr. Nay looked at Dobby as an individual instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I also want to give a special thank you to Wilma. She was so kind and compassionate with Dobby and treated him with so much love. When I needed medication for him right away, she went out of her way to help me get it as quickly as possible. That level of kindness is something I'll never forget. I'm a total mama bear when it comes to my boys, and I know I ask a million questions because I want the very best for them. Not once did anyone at Bliss Animal Hospital make me feel like I was being difficult. Every single person was patient, understanding, and genuinely cared about Dobby as if he were their own. Thank you, Dr. Nay, Wilma, and the entire team at Bliss Animal Hospital. You didn't just treat Dobby, you treated him with extraordinary compassion, respected his unique medical needs, and gave me hope when I truly felt like there wasn't any.

I also never feel like she orders unnecessary tests or over charges me just for the heck of it. In fact whenever I am in a bind financially, I tell her, and she takes it into account when we make the treatment plan for my pet. I appreciate that so much. All of the staff remembers my mom and her dog too... so they ask me about them when I come in with my own dog, which is so thoughtful and makes me feel their sincerity in caring for the animals. My dog was abused before we adopted him and he has severe anxiety and separation anxiety. The staff is very accommodating of this and lets me have him back right away after procedures while we wait for results. They also allow me to stay with him in the morning before procedures until it's time to put him under. They understand the situation and genuinely don't want to cause him more distress than necessary. I highly recommend the Stonecreek animal hospital.

    LARGE DOG OWNERS BEWARE!…read more We took our senior dog (rescued one week before) to Northwood Animal hospital because of great Yelp reviews. On closer inspection, you can see that they're great with small animals (hamsters, rabbits, cats, etc.) but larger dogs may be a weak spot, and here's why. The examination room was probably 6'x6', and over half of it was covered by an examination table that couldn't be pulled up because of a small animal scale on it. The net result of this was that our 60-pound dog could only see the feet of people in the room. We notified staff that our sweet girl was a little nervous with new people, and it seems that the vet tech got the memo. The tech was the best part of our experience--even though our dog was nervous, the tech did an amazing job introducing herself to us and our dog, giving her space, etc. It all broke down once the vet came in. Dr. J (Meena Janbahan) came in, did not introduce herself to us, and immediately took our dog by the neck to test her sinuses. While we understood that there was a legitimate medical reason for doing that, her failure to introduce herself to our dog (didn't even offer a hand to sniff), made our dog extremely anxious. Our dog gave about 3-5 seconds of whining before delivering 2-3 warning barks and backing up to us. The vet tech took our dog outside for a brief walk--when they came back, our dog was anxious but okay with the tech--but she did not like the vet. We were in shock that a professional would do this to a dog that had just been rescued and lived on the street before coming to us--but the more we thought about it, we figured that it was absurd to introduce herself to any dog that way. Dr. J followed up this moment by being extremely aloof and dismissive. Our dog had shown no signs of protectiveness at this level before, and Dr. J insisted that there was an inherent problem with our dog based on this meeting (where Dr. J, again, greeted our dog by wrapping her hands around her throat). We began to doubt ourselves and our dog, and would've continued to unless we had gone to another vet (more experienced with dogs) elsewhere, Dr. K (Kirollos Abdelmalek), who introduced himself much more calmly to our dog and assured us that our dog was not behaviorally volatile (see my review of Quail Animal Hospital for more on this experience). The icing on the cake was the $1,000 estimate for our visit. They waived the examination fee because our dog was a rescue, leading to a grand total of $977.80. The itemized receipt is attached to this review, but they don't tell the full story. We were strong-armed into the influenza vaccine (they said they wouldn't give anesthesia without it... which is not standard practice from AVMA guidelines by our understanding), and told that our dog had an ear infection despite the vet saying she was unable to "get a look at her ears." The cytology for the ear infection and treatment being given at the same time also made us raise an eyebrow. Fortunately, we opted to decline all services and see another vet for our dog instead (again, see my review of Quail Animal Hospital for the much better experience). Overall, I would have given Northwood Animal Hospital one star, if it hadn't been for the vet tech who assured us that we were not crazy, despite clear efforts of the business to charge us a ridiculous amount and misrepresent our dog's behavior. It is odd that they would market services for large dogs given that their practice seems--from personnel to facilities--ill-prepared to care for them.

    You know the feeling where you're in panic mode and trying to get answers but come up empty so…read moreyou're sitting there frantically googling and calling a bunch of places only get more disappointed and stressed ? Yup that was my day after spending 4 hours at the vet only to come up empty. My little senior yorki, Basil, was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. She's been unable to walk with her hind legs for a few days. Our vet pretty much told us to go seek a treatment plan from an orthopedic surgeon and didn't give us anymore info on what else we can do to help make her more comfortable in the meantime. I spent my entire morning making phone calls to different clinics asking if they offer orthopedic care at the facility and got turned away by ALL of them. That was until I called northwood animal hospital. Let me clarify. They do NOT have an ortho specialist here at this facility, I did not end up taking my pet here so this review isn't about how well the vet took care of my baby. However, Maria, the person that picked up my phone call was the most helpful person I've dealt with the entire day. Not only did she take her time going over her roster of places that do offer ortho care in the area, she also took her time explaining the varies treatments they specialize in and how it might help Basil's case. She asked about Basils condition and referred me to 3 different clinics. With the care and patience put into a simple phone call when Basil is not even a patient there, I'm certain that there's no difference once you're there in the office with the vet. Def switching over. I have a wellness checkup for Basil next month with the vet at this facility so I'll update then.

Her incision and stitches did not look right, and she developed open wounds, signs of infection, and significant discomfort. I contacted the office multiple times, sent photos, and brought her in for a follow-up, yet I was repeatedly told that everything looked normal and that she was fine. After continuing to raise concerns, I was finally told to take her to Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital. I spent the night there and was charged nearly an additional $1,000 to have her incision re-stitched. It was incredibly frustrating to have repeatedly voiced concerns, only to end up paying significantly more to address a problem I had been told multiple times was "fine." I expressed how unhappy I was with the situation and was told the medical director would contact me. I never received a call. More recently, I noticed a pattern on the whites of my cat's eyes and sent a photo to the office. I was told by the vet that it was not normal and that I should either bring her in or see a veterinary ophthalmologist. I followed their recommendation and went to the ophthalmologist they referred me to, only to be told after a 20 second exam that what I was seeing was completely normal. I still had to pay the office visit and exam fees. Between the complications from her spay, my concerns being repeatedly dismissed, the lack of follow-up from the medical director, and being unnecessarily worried and referred to a specialist for something that turned out to be normal, I've lost confidence in the care provided here. My experiences with Dr. Ramos and other veterinarians at both the primary care office and hospital have left me feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously and that the level of care, communication, and professionalism was not what I would expect from a veterinary practice. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.
