Complete conversation and summary of what Stem Cell Therapy can and cannot do…read more It can assist with kidney and liver values, muscles, reflex ability,etc. Anyone that thinks it can make a difference when there is bone on bone- consider humans and the fact is when it's bone on bone we get a knee replacement. Vet Stem Therapy is quite amazing, but one should not expect complete miraculous results that even humans going through it cannot expect!

Dr. Gordon is absolutely wonderful. A trusted friend referred me to him for my 4.5-year-old…read morePembroke Welsh Corgi's neutering procedure and dental cleaning. I'm a first-time pet owner, and this was my first time having my dog go under anesthesia. I know these are very standard procedures, but I was extremely nervous about all of it. During the initial exam, Dr. Gordon discovered a bladder stone as well. He clearly explained the treatment options and made thoughtful recommendations for next steps. After the exam, he personally emailed the lab and bloodwork results and answered all my follow-up questions quickly and kindly. The surgery itself went very smoothly. Dr. Gordon and his team gave clear instructions for after-care. At the end of the procedure day, Dr. Gordon emailed to check in on my dog, and he checked in again a couple of days later. I sent him updates and photos of the incision site, and he responded each time with helpful feedback. I also sent updates on day 5 (when we finished post-op medications) and again on day 10. He reviewed the photos and provided his insights. My dog's recovery was overall very smooth, and as of day 10, he has been cleared of the donut! It was far beyond my expectations for Dr. Gordon to provide so much personal follow-up outside of our clinic visits. He genuinely cared about how my dog was doing, and I'm very grateful for that level of care. Additional details: - Parking: Free parking available; the clinic is up a flight of stairs. - Check-in/Wait Time: Both our exam and surgery check-ins were quick and the wait time was minimal. - Communication: Communication with the front desk was clear and easy via email, text, and phone. - Clinic: The space is very nice and clean. - Wi-Fi: They have guest Wi-Fi, which was helpful as my cell service wasn't great in the area. - Cost: Prices are on the higher end, but I feel it's completely worth it for the attentive care and peace of mind. - Staff: The front office staff and nurses were all kind and helpful. I'm an anxious person, and they were so patient with me, which I really appreciate! My dog is skeptical of new people but can be won over with treats, and the staff offered him treats with my permission to help him feel comfortable. I will absolutely return to Dr. Gordon for future care. And I should note that I live about 60 miles away, but having such wonderful care and reassurance is worth the drive. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Gordon to fellow pet owners!

It's possible their regular vets are fine (hopefully), but their backup vet should be avoided if…read moreyou need to bring your pets here urgently. She recommends unnecessary procedures while using fear tactics, which is a shame. The backup vet was very incompetent. She recommended the wrong solutions and suggested imaging that cannot detect soft tissue issues. She never asked any history questions, examined the wrong area entirely, and jumped straight to worst case scenarios without justification. She spent only 5 minutes on the consultation and pushed for X-rays when in my dog's case, those weren't even necessary. X-rays are not the right protocol for soft tissue issues. I didn't have a choice as they were the only place open that day. A few days later my dog is completely fine because it wasn't actually that hard to fix. He had full anal glands that just needed to be emptied ... and this vet was pushing for X-rays and bloodwork instead One thing worth mentioning, she was very quick to suggest cancer or tumors without proper justification. What she may not know is that intact male dogs actually have hormonal protection that significantly reduces the risk of certain cancers in that area. A more knowledgeable vet would have considered this before jumping to worst case scenarios. This is basic intact male biology that should be understood before making such alarming suggestions to worried pet owners. That's why I usually just bring my dogs to my regular holistic vets in Irvine and Laguna Beach. To be fair, the regular staff are lovely. The vet tech was excellent, agreed with my decisions, and actually helped. So I do believe their regular vets and staff are much better. This one star is specifically for the backup vet. Please be very careful if they assign you to her.

I decided I would take him all of the places that he liked to go, do all of the things that I always dreamed of doing with him and never got around to, feed him whatever he wanted, and to top it off - get an at home dog massage from a professional. This man and his service was great. I really can't say enough nice things about him. He took his time with my dog and let my dog get comfortable and helped to completely relax my dog. I will always remember and appreciate his service for my dog in his last days and I'm so happy that I was able to find this type of service for him at all. I hope this man is blessed all of the days of his life. I appreciate you so much.

Our dog Lulu has TPLO surgery in the middle of February and while she had been healing nicely, she…read morehad lingering tightness in her affected leg. We were told to massage and stretch her out but clearly we weren't doing it correctly because with every follow up visit, the muscle tightness remained. I looked into dog rehabilitation centers but the prices I was quoted for massages and/or PT were well beyond my budget. Then I found Willie and Doggissage. Luckily Willie had an opening the same day I contacted him so we set up an appointment immediately. He was prompt and professional and Lulu took to him right away. She let him work his magic for just over an hour and even feel asleep during both of her sessions. We're very happy with Willie's work and plan on more sessions with him, even after her final follow up appointment with her surgeon. His prices are reasonable and I LOVE that he comes to us. Can't beat that convenience! I highly recommend Doggissage for your pup, whether they're post-op, seniors, or just because you want to treat them.

Jennifer has made such a difference in our lives!…read more Pepper was 1 yr old in 2013 when we rescued her from euthanasia at our local SPCA. She was returned for aggressiveness - she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her with their hands. She guarded her food and snapped at people and growled 24/7 - even when she was having fun. We will never know exactly what trauma she suffered before we brought her home, but we knew she deserved a chance at life. Even if she needed to be separate. That was ok. She deserved to be alive. For years we worked with Pepper, touching her with our feet, then socks over hands, giving her privacy, putting her food off to the side, and letting her come to us when she wanted attention. The ongoing issue was that Pepper wouldn't come unless we forced her. We didn't like forcing her to go out or interact. We knew there had to be another way. Then we met Jennifer! After a few sessions Pepper started coming to me when called, she started volunteering for cuddles and has even started to lay in my lap and allow me to pet her. This is Huge. Pepper prefers my husband, she never ever came to my lap for love before. The Pepper I knew simply "tolerated" me, and would sometimes allow my husband some interaction. Pepper is even more amazing than ever before. Jennifer helped Pepper to know that we love her and would never ever traumatize her or force her to do anything she didn't want to do. She's the nicest, friendliest, loving dog. She is great with kids (we never knew this before!) We knew we could give her a life, but it took Jennifer helping us to reach our goal and go way beyond our expectations. We never would have gotten this far without Jennifer. We owe her a world of gratitude and many blessings for giving Pepper the fullest form of a life possible (and Fur Mom gets lots of Love too ) Thank you Jennifer! Peter, Robin & Pepper Coll

After several awful experiences with other dog trainers--some so harsh that my dogs would literally…read morerun and hide at the sight of them--I was honestly hesitant to try again. But finding Emily of The Dog Listener has been one of the greatest blessings for me and my American Bully puppy. From the very first session, Emily brought a calm, confident energy that completely changed the way I relate to my dog. Through private lessons and her incredible monthly Pack Walks, she has helped my puppy grow into a balanced, well-behaved companion. Most importantly, she's helped me grow--into a more confident, peaceful, and capable handler. What truly sets Emily apart is her compassion. My dogs don't just tolerate her--they adore her. The excitement and joy they show when she arrives is real, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person and trainer she is. Her love for dogs is genuine, and they feel it. I get emotional thinking about where we started and how far we've come. Emily is a true godsend, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a kind, effective, and empowering trainer who truly understands dogs--and their people.

Although Penny wasn't a regular patient of Dr. Cohen's, the Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center's team made every effort to accommodate our last-minute request for our dog to pass peacefully in the comfort of our home. Although our hearts are broken, we couldn't have asked for a better way to say goodbye to Penny. Thanks to Dr. Cohen and his team, Penny was able to transition peacefully at home, on her blanket and bed, surrounded by her family who loved her so much. We are comforted in knowing that in her final moments, Penny was well taken care of by Dr. Cohen and the Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center team. Dr. Cohen's warm and caring energy made Penny and all of us feel at ease. A couple of months after Penny's passing, we made the decision to adopt another dog- a rescue puppy who we named Clifford. We couldn't have thought of a better veterinarian to care for our puppy than Dr. Cohen. So far, Clifford is happy, healthy, and enjoys his trips to the vet. We look forward to many years together with Clifford, thanks to the help of the Laguna Beach Veterinary Medical Center.
