My 13 year old Yorkie tore his CCL on his left leg after jumping off my bed. In a matter of few days, he went from being super energetic to really down and I could tell it was affecting his daily life. I tried the non surgery route and got a bunch of braces/medication but it did not help. I asked several vets in the area regarding pricing and Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic pricing was very reasonable compared to the others. They did his bloodwork a few days before and gave me a call confirming he was good to go for surgery. It has been two months since his surgery but he is back to his normal self or at least a good 90%. He has started to run around and stands on his left leg now. Thank you Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic for giving my dog his freedom back!! read more

I don't usually write negative reviews, but I feel other pet owners should be aware of my experience. I took my 13-pound female dog in for a grooming appointment. She was perfectly fine before the visit. But when I arrived to pick her up, the groomer carried her out to me. She seemed different from her usual self. After the groomer put her down, she kept trying to sit down instead of walking normally. At the time, I assumed she was simply stressed from the grooming appointment. After we got home, she continued showing the same behavior and I realized she was unable to climb the stairs. Later that evening, I discovered significant bruising and swelling on her left thigh. I spent the night applying cold compresses and closely monitoring her condition. What disappointed me was their response when I called the shop the next morning. The manager did not apologize or express concern for my dog's condition. I was simply told that they didn't know what had happened. Later, a friend told me that one of the groomers from this shop had said the staff laughed after my phone call and commented that what I described was impossible, and hearing that was very upsetting. Animals cannot tell us when they are hurt. People who care for them should respond with genuine compassion and empathy, not laughter or dismissal. The attached photos show the bruising on my dog's left thigh, and I have also included a photo of her normal leg for comparison. read more

My beloved dog passed away on August 3. I intentionally waited before writing this review of Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic and Dr. W. H. Cho because I wanted time for my emotions to settle and to describe our experience as fairly and factually as possible. My dog was only nine and a half years old and had been a patient at this clinic since 2024. He was truly a member of our family, and we were extremely attentive to his health. Because we carried pet insurance, he received annual wellness examinations, and we never hesitated to seek veterinary care or approve recommended testing and treatment. In 2026 alone, we brought him to the clinic on April 17 for a general examination, ear cleaning, and an allergy injection for excessive paw licking. We brought him back on June 11 for another general checkup, even though he did not appear to have any significant health problems at the time. On July 6, he was noticeably unwell and had very low energy, so we immediately took him to Dr. Cho. After a blood test and digital X-rays, Dr. Cho diagnosed him with a collapsed trachea. He was given a cortisone injection, along with oral medication. We picked up additional medication on July 10. Unfortunately, his condition did not meaningfully improve. We returned to Dr. Cho on July 20 and explained that the previous injection and medication had not resolved his symptoms. He was given another cortisone injection and the same or similar oral medication. By July 27, his condition had become significantly worse. We returned to the clinic once again, and Dr. Cho administered barium and performed additional digital X-rays. After reviewing the images, he told me that he did not see anything seriously concerning. Only a few days later, my dog became extremely lethargic, could no longer eat or drink, was breathing rapidly, and began bleeding from his mouth. His tongue also appeared to be pushed to one side. We rushed him to a larger veterinary facility, where the veterinarian examined his mouth and discovered a significant tumor beneath his tongue. We were told that the tumor was incurable and was likely causing him considerable pain. On August 3, our family made the heartbreaking decision to let him go peacefully rather than allow his suffering to continue. What troubles me most is that we brought him to Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic repeatedly--including several visits during the final month of his life--and his mouth apparently was not thoroughly examined despite his worsening condition. I understand that not every illness can be diagnosed immediately and that finding the tumor earlier may not have changed the ultimate prognosis. However, a thorough physical examination, including an examination inside his mouth, might have identified the tumor or the source of his discomfort sooner. At the very least, we might have understood the seriousness of his condition earlier and spared him some pain. Looking back, I also realized that routine examinations at this clinic did not seem to include a sufficiently thorough hands-on evaluation of his entire body, ears, and mouth unless we specifically raised a concern about a particular area. Based on our experience, I strongly encourage pet owners to ask exactly what is included in a physical examination and to specifically request that the veterinarian examine their pet's mouth, tongue, gums, throat, and other areas carefully--especially when symptoms persist despite treatment. The clinic may be suitable for straightforward concerns such as ear infections, allergies, or minor skin irritation. However, when an animal's condition is worsening or not responding to treatment, I would urge owners to seek a second opinion or visit a larger veterinary hospital as soon as possible. I was also disappointed by the manner and attitude of some staff members during an already stressful time. Many of my friends used this clinic because of its convenient location. After learning what happened to my dog, several have told me that they are now considering taking their pets elsewhere. My heart still aches when I think that we might have recognized his pain sooner. I trusted that he was receiving a complete and careful evaluation each time I brought him in. I will always carry the sadness of wondering whether he suffered longer than necessary. He is now in dog heaven, running and prancing without pain. He was deeply loved, and he will always be a part of our family. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. we've been a loyal customer for 4 years and never thought we'd experience such mistreatment. my 10 years old dog was groomed here and the next day he had the nastiest ear infection. his ear canals were swollen and dark red as if someone used all their strength to pull out his hairs. we went to the vet next door to get it checked out and as soon as we walked in he started shaking profusely. he's never had this reaction before. the nurse there was standoffish and didn't take accountability. I fully believe that they physically abused him. he has trauma and won't let anyone go near his ears now. please don't take your pets here. read more

Dr. Cho is great, he removed a tumor from an older dog of mine with no issue. His front office staff then carried my poor boy all the way to the car and were so gentle and kind with him; I will remember this act of kindness for the rest of my life. Dr. Cho's joy at my cat's FIP recovery was probably the happiest I've ever seen him. He was then able to get me a prescription for FIP medication. His front office staff are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. (shout out to Deserie and Minnie, both wonderful people). I've been coming here for years, they are always amazing, the above are a few highlights from over the years. read more

Incredible clinic and staff. They literally saved my mother-in-law's 4 year old dog. Their urgency, care, and sensitivity for the issue was top-notch. Thank you to the all the staff on hand when our dog showed up; you all showed so much patience and warmth during such a terrifying time. Our dog survived and was acting like her normal self immediately after treatment. Forever grateful and thankful for your help. read more

dr is rude and misdiagnosed my dog multiple times. now we have to take her to a specialist for testing that he never offered her.

Pros: staff was quick and kind, got in and out in under 30 minutes. Cons: tried to call to verify walk-in availability but was put on hold for a while. Walked in to check it out and was told I should have called. However they did accept me as walk in. Again I was out in 30 minutes for a shot, nail clip, and flea cream. Was met outside at the desk to find out that cost $240. $70 for walk ins would have been nice to know since that's double than any other vet, idk what cortisone goes for but 1shot/$75+waste fee $3.50 sucks. $71 for vet recommended flea cream for 3 months seems excessive. In hindsight, I should have inquired the price of everything but I was use to my original vet telling me what they would like to do, printing a invoice, confirming what I would like to proceed with, and have me sign off on the total prior to conducting services. Whole rushed process and getting slapped with that bill was off putting and again I could have asked what things cost that's my bad it was just not what I was use to and I was not expecting $15 to clip nails and the walk in fee to be double the average. read more

Nahla wasn't Feeling well. I was kind of iffy based on the reviews but the staff was so polite I went in as a first time walk in. Dr Cho was very stern & was informative . I guess people expect a Dr that is genuine but it's not every Drs nature , Nahla is doing well she's resting since she's a night kitty & sleeps ALL day very affordable! read more

My 2 year old dog was showing off signs of discomfort and pain with changes in her mobility. No more jumping or running, difficulty going up stairs etc and had the occasional spontaneous yelp (indicating sudden sharp pain). The first time I took her in, the doctor said she likely has some joint pain in her hips. This was after a very brief and not-so-thorough exam. He touched her for 5 seconds, watched her walk around and essentially dismissed her condition as minor. No medication was prescribed. Just recommended she rest. Two weeks later her condition worsened with clear signs of stress and pain. Stuttering breathes, trembles, crying, back curled in, tail down, tongue out, clingy. They urged me to bring her in so I did. Doctor looked at her for 10 seconds and told me she will be fine with rest. I was charged 45 dollars for that. Her condition worsened drastically within that week and I decided to take her elsewhere where they misdiagnosed her. After 5 weeks of incompetent and careless vets, my dog was diagnosed with ivdd which has progressed to the point of near paralysis of her hind limbs. She is in severe pain and is in need of surgery. By chance the ER doctor specialized in neurology and knew immediately this was ivdd just by doing some basic neurologist tests that she said any vet should know. She questioned why the vet at Fullerton hills didn't administer these tests as detecting ivdd early would've made a huge difference and possibility prevented her paralysis. The carelessness of the vet costed my dog significantly. Even when I called for advice on what I should do, they only tell me to bring her in. Why? So I can pay for the doctor to do absolutely nothing like the last time? I am done with Fullerton hills. They did not take proper care Of my dog and failed to administer basic assessments. Now she is in critical condition. read more

Just took my 11 month old Poodle/Terrier/Chihuahua mix puppy, Rocky, to Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic for a full grooming... we used to a different groomer, but I was never 100% satisfied. They always claimed he was too hyper... his hair was always too short... his facial hair was never fully trimmed ( lots of random loose strands sticking out )... so purchased the grooming vacuum kit from Amazon, so I can trim his body hair and would just bring him to the other groomer for a "sani-cut" ( facial hair, anal glands, trim nails and private part hair trim )... even then, not fully happy. Decided to give this place a chance... 1) they opened right across the street from our place. 2) I don't think the other place took their time and had the patience to make sure they did a good job. Best to say, I am 110% happy with his grooming. No random loose facial hair strands that are long... body trim was just as I had requested, fluffy enough for winter, but not long. Nails trimmed well... I highly recommend this place.... read more

I have been coming here for almost 6 years and now I have two dogs that see Dr Cho. He and his staff have been nothing but wonderful each time. He will squeeze me in for any concerns and has even come in on a weekend when my dog had kidney stones. I have gotten vaccinations, flea meds, allergy meds, grooming, prescribed food, kidney stones removed, ultrasounds, and spaying done here and have never had a less than exceptional experience. Dr Cho is widely knowledgeable and caring of my pets every time and I'm so grateful to him. I highly recommend this office 10 out of 10 times. read more

This is literally the best facility and vet I've ever taken my dog to. Ever since he was a puppy at 1 month old the staff here takes such great care of him, he's never scared to come back here always so excited, and the dr definitely knows what he's doing! The whole staff always treats my dog with kindness and compassion. I bring my dog here for everything, flea treatment, vet visits, shots, and grooming, it's all at a reasonable and fair price, totally worth the drive for me! read more

BEWARE. Disgusting business practice and customer service. We've been loyal to this vet for over 10 years and are appalled by their lack of animal care and accountability. We took our elderly dog to be groomed and when we picked him up his back legs stopped working. No explanation was given and when we asked what happened they denied any wrongdoing and stated that he was always like that and if we wanted to get him checked, we would have to pay for a check up. I don't know why they would be in the vet business if they're planning on being rough with our fur babies. read more

Brought my 2.5 year old Goldendoodle here for the first time as an emergency visit. So thankful they were able to see us the same day. The staff, and I mean EVERYONE I saw working there that day, were extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They gave me so much assurance and care as a worried owner and gave my baby Cookie so much love and attention, she calmed down immediately. For those that say Dr. Cho is a horrible vet.. I mean yeah, the doctor doesn't talk much or engage with me, the owner, besides getting some information about the visit. But the minute he walked into the room, his entire focus shifted on Cookie, and that to me right there is the perfect doctor I trust to care for my baby. He checked her condition after hearing my concerns and let me know some of the tests he would like to run. His recommendations were spot on, gave me tips on how to better care for my dog, and even waited until she woke up from sedation to personally send her home. Obviously we aren't best friends after the appointment, and Dr. Cho did not smile while we got into the car to leave or even say goodbye. What I did notice was that his eyes were fixated on my dog until we drove away out of his view. Thanks to Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic and the entire team, I will be switching to this place although it is a bit further than our normal vet. PS. Cookie finished her meds prescribed by Dr. Cho and is more lively than before her visit!! My baby is healthier and stronger read more

Dr. Cho and his staff are very competent, qualified and caring. I have been bringing all my animals to Dr. Cho for 30+ years. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. In all the years I've known him, I've found him to be a very gentle, caring and highly qualified doctor. The members of his staff also genuinely care for my pets. He does not recommend unnecessary tests or procedures and I feel his rates are very reasonable. I think anyone looking for a wonderful Vet for their pets would be very happy with Dr. Cho's Fullerton Hills Pet Clinic. read more

We have been coming to this Pet Clinic since 1986. There is no better place. We trust Doctor Cho for everything with our pets.

Come here if you wanna be hopelessly misled. The staff is nice, except they weren't helpful with me. My first visit was optimistic since we were prescribed eye and throat medication. 2 weeks later, her condition worsened and I called in to see if they could recheck her since I felt the first diagnostic was wrong. The doctor sees me for 2 minutes, doesn't answer any of my simple questions or concerns besides saying he hears a heart murmur (he forgot to address her eye issue lol). He also didn't ask me anything about her! Then I was told that he can't give me the right medication without paying for a $300 X-ray. Okay sure, but you have no leads as to what it could possibly be? Then he hands me off to a nurse who happily charges me $54 for a recheck ("$10 cheaper than a normal visit!") - even though they gave me useless medication during our first visit & zero advice on my situation now besides asking I do an x-ray. They couldn't answer any of my concerns or questions as if it was impossible to have any thoughts without an x-ray. If you have a real emergency, I'd pass on this scam of a clinic. read more

We started taking our minnie aussie here three years ago and never looked back. The doctor gave us extra anti-barf pills as that was his food problem every couple months and a $500 visit at the local animal pet care and hospital in Whittier. He gave us special Hillscience dog food for his episodes as well and no problem clearing up. Eventually we began feeding him Stella's semi-cooked frozen patties with another brand for variety and he's not had digestive issues for a year. Dogs need veggies and fresh food. Dry kibble is not enough. Recommend this vet to all. He cares. read more

Stay away from this vet clinic if your dog needs emergency attention!!! Our dog was recently attacked by coyote and we immediately took her to this clinic for help. She was bleeding in the neck from puncture wounds and the vet, Dr Cho, REFUSED to treat after he got irritated with our medical questions. He does not care about the well being of these animals and told us to go to another vet for treatment. We have been patients for 14 years. SO disappointed with this clinic and their lack of sympathy. Will never be going back. read more

The place I normally get my dogs groomed at was moving locations, so I decided to try this place out because it was much closer to home anyway. I took my dog Sparky here. A couple hours later, the hospital called saying he was ready for pickup. I was so blown away by how clean and well groomed he came out! He even had a bandana on him (very cute)! After a month or so, I decided to bring my more feisty dog, Snoopy, who has a history of ear infections and doesn't trust strangers as much as Sparky does. Claire, the groomer, groomed my Maltipoo Sparky and was going to groom my other Maltipoo, Snoopy, as well. I warned her that he is a biter, but was shocked to see that he didn't growl at her once and let her pick him up. A few hours later, the hospital called to let me know he was ready pickup. I was very surprised by how clean the insides of his ears were! Usually, Snoopy starts growling and gets ready to bite once a stranger touches his ears, but Claire seemed to have no problem with doing so. Another bandana was put on Snoopy, and Claire had cut his fur exactly the way we asked! Amazing job! We'll be back! read more

Do not take your pet for grooming. I have taken my pet here a few times before they have moved locations and had not had any problems though I have heard some people have had bad experiences with this clinic. About 20 minutes after I dropped off my pet the front staff called me asking me if I had noticed anything on my dogs eye before dropping her off as they had noticed some redness in one of her eyes, mind you I had dropped off a perfectly healthy dog! After rushing back they brought my pet back and her eyes were blood shot! They claim they have done nothing but after speaking to two different vets they confirmed it was most likely caused by injury, injury they claim to never have caused. They claim the cameras don't show the spot in which my dog was being kept and did not offer any treatment or checkups besides antibiotic eye drops. They did not take responsibility for their action at all. The vet (owner) did not want to take responsibility at all and even screamed at his staff demanding them to "take care of THE problem"! I ended up going to another clinic to get all testing and checkup which this place did not offer. Mostly I was worried sick for my dog and disgusted at how they treat the animals and their customers. read more

This place should not be open for business or practice. First of all they overcharge ridiculous amounts of sub charge fees for every diagnostic they run including eye dilation. Patients are diagnosed within 5-10 minutes and usually in the waiting room from anywhere between 30-45 minutes even with an appointment. The Doctor never answers questions about my cat directly and avoids talking directly with you. 09/08 Came in with my cat who had a discharge with slightly red irritated eye only to be prescribed wrong medication from this clinic which included steroids causing more irritation and pain and made my cat almost lose his eye. 09/26 was told to just keep using the same medication without a proper dilation or look at. My cat's eye was getting more irritated and worse. His eyes were red, itchy irritated to cloudy, foggy and spotty. Waiting for a few days and by 09/30 Following my intuition I had another which another doctor diagnose through photos and observation that my cat had an eye ulcer recommended I stop using the vet's prescribed one and use and or try different medication. October stopped listening and coming here and my cat could see without a swollen red cloudy eye. Definitely don't waste your time and or money coming here! read more

I love this pet clinic and I'm so grateful I found it. They always take the best care of all my babies. Panda (my toughest) is scared of everyone and everything and the last vet I took her to she scratched him up and peed in her kennel because she was so scared but at fullerton hills, she was so calm and let the vet techs pet her and everything!

This is a unfortunate post. My dogs were taken to this clinic to be euthanized by my Mom in which I was unaware that she was putting my dogs down.The reason why I am writing this.is because my dogs were chipped under my name and if the de would have checked that before putting them to sleep my dogs would still be alive,but unfortunately the assumption was those dogs were my moms but realistically mine. It is a devastating situation for myself as those dogs were a part of me I just would like to let people know that this could have been avoided had the dr just checked the dogs chips in them.

Dr. Cho and his staff are lovely, caring people. I have been taking my cats to Dr. Cho for two years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They don't "upsell" or recommend procedures, tests and vaccinations that are not needed. When I had to have my best friend Noelle put to sleep, they gave me the first appointment of the day and were ready for us. We didn't have to do a lot of paperwork. Dr. Cho made it completely painless. It is always hard to let a loved animal family member go, but Fullerton Pet Clinic makes it as easy as it could ever be. read more
