Dr. Pat Echolds is the most amazing vet we have had. I have sung his praises from day 1 and always…read morerecommended him. We have been with him since 2016/2017. 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.

Dr. Stevens spent an hour with us for her initial physical. She couldn't have been nicer. In fact, the entire staff is just great. I had a follow up issue this weekend and didn't have an appointment but needed a bit of an emergency prescription. Not only did they take care of it...but they did it after hours. I was so impressed and I am very grateful. If you are looking for a local vet and want one that will go the extra mile (and is very reasonably priced), I would REALLY recommend contacting them and scheduling an appointment.

We brought our dog to the doctor and found out she was in a pretty critical situation. Dr. Vedadi provided a detailed and thorough evaluation of our pet's health situation and gave us a few recommendations. However, he doesn't try to push or sell services and lets you know what he thinks are possible options on what treatment might work for your pet. We opted to listen to what he thought was best and he was 100% right. Our dog was given the right treatment and now she's on the road to recovery. We are so thankful for Dr. Vedadi. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a doctor with a great disposition and is also brilliant at what he does. Not only is Dr. Vedadi great, his staff is amazing too. They are equally nice and also helpful. They also keep the office clean and sanitary. While we were there, the staff was vacuuming the office and wiping down the tables. We were impressed by how well this office is run. Importantly, the office is also open daily. Even though it's a drive from our house, we would come back because our experience was THAT GREAT!

We've been bringing our dog, Checkers, here since she was two months old, and the care has been…read moretop-notch for nearly two years. The facility is clean, modern, and efficiently run, and their communication regarding shots and exams is always clear and helpful. What really earned my respect was how they handled Checkers' recent patella luxation surgery. A piece of their specialized equipment broke just days before the procedure. Instead of making excuses, they went above and beyond. They coordinated with a top specialist in the area--who has performed over 30,000 knee surgeries--to see us at the same time, on the same day, and for the same price. Their honesty and dedication to getting Checkers the best care possible, even when it was out of their hands, is exactly what you want in a vet. They truly care about animals first. Keep up the great work, Aliso Viejo Animal Hospital--we'll see you in August!

It's with great disappointment that I'm sharing a negative experience with Aliso Viejo Animal…read moreClinic. To be clear, the veterinarian provided excellent care, several of the vet assistants were wonderful, and I've generally had positive experiences with the front desk. My dog had surgery to remove a cyst, and the procedure itself was handled very well. For that, I'm truly grateful. Unfortunately, the issue came afterward. When checking out, I questioned the high cost of the medication and mentioned that I normally use Chewy or Allivet. The front desk encouraged me to use their pharmacy instead, assuring me the prescription would be approved quickly and the service would be reliable. Since my dog needed an antibiotic daily for 10 days, I agreed and purchased enough locally to cover four days in case of shipping delays. The medication didn't even ship for three days. By Monday, I was almost out and contacted the office. Instead of receiving understanding or help, I was told it was my fault for ordering through their pharmacy and that I could either pay an inflated price for more pills or "figure it out myself." Of course, I had no choice but to pay because my dog needed the medication. Now I've learned the shipment won't arrive until next Monday, after the medication is no longer needed, forcing me to buy even more locally just to complete the treatment. The delay is frustrating, but the real disappointment is the lack of ownership, empathy, and support when their recommended solution failed. Integrity matters most when something goes wrong. Sadly, because of this experience, I'll be finding a different veterinarian moving forward.

From the moment she arrived, she was calm, gentle, and deeply respectful of how emotional the moment was for me and my pet. She took her time to explain everything and made sure my pet was comfortable and at peace. The entire process was handled with such dignity and care that it truly made an unbearable moment a little easier. What meant even more to me was that she didn't just provide medical care--she showed genuine empathy. Even afterwards, she checked in to see how I was doing and made sure I had the support I needed. Her thoughtful follow-up and kind words meant so much during such a difficult time. I can't thank her enough for the compassion she showed.

I had made an appointment with another veterinarian to come out, but they called the same morning and canceled due to the doctor being sick. Dr. Clifton was one of the vets they recommended. I was so thankful when she called me back and was able to make it the same day on such short notice. She was a lifesaver. I didn't know if our dog would make it another night and we did not want him going to the vets office where he always has high anxiety. She was so compassionate, so gentle with our Ace, you could just feel her love for animals. My mom didn't even want to be in the room, but once she saw how caring Audrey was she decided to stay. She made us feel comfortable and took her time to explain everything. She is amazing! I have recommended her many times and would use her services again.
