Being new to the area it was time to find a vet that we could call home for our two cats. I came…read moreacross Urbanvet and decided to give them a try since my youngest guy needed to be seen as soon as possible. The entire experience was amazing and I'm so grateful for such a positive visit from start to finish. The staff were all so kind and knowledgeable. They were so kind with my little shy guy and I knew we were in the right hands. It's safe to say that this will now be our home vet in the OC.

My introduction to Urban Vet was under heartbreaking circumstances. I came home one morning to find…read moremy beloved dachshund unable to move and clearly in distress. He was quite old, and I knew in my heart this was likely something he wouldn't survive. I immediately called his regular vet (I'm looking at you CDM Animal Hospital), only to be told, without much compassion, that they were too busy to see him and I should take him to an emergency animal hospital. While those hospitals serve an important purpose, I couldn't bring myself to take him somewhere so cold and overwhelming during such a painful moment. That's when I remembered Urban Vet. I had seen them before when they were located in a nearby shopping center. I called, explained the situation, and they were incredibly kind and told me to bring him in right away. From the moment I arrived, the team was exceptional. They took him back immediately, put him on oxygen, and did everything they could to keep him comfortable. Sadly, it turned out he had a tumor near his heart that had ruptured, and there were very limited options. I made the incredibly difficult decision to end his suffering. The vets were so compassionate and gentle, and they allowed me to hold him in my arms as he crossed the rainbow bridge. I will always be grateful for the dignity and kindness they showed us in that moment. Since then, I've brought both my cat and the dog I recently adopted to Urban Vet, and every experience has reinforced how special this practice is. Every staff member is wonderful and clearly a true animal lover. My pets don't mind going there at all; the office is calm, beautiful, and sun-filled. The vets are top-notch, communicate clearly, and take the time to explain their recommendations. Urban Vet has my complete trust, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

The staff was kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire visit. Dr. Estefan was amazing and took great care of my dog. Because of my anxiety about anesthesia--especially since my dog had not been under anesthesia since his neuter at 6 months old--the team kept me updated throughout the process, which I greatly appreciated and found very reassuring! The level of communication and compassion shown by everyone made a stressful situation much easier. I would definitely recommend this hospital to others looking for quality care for their pets!!

Conveniently located by SNA Airport, Back Bay Veterinary Hospital has friendly, responsive, and…read moregreat staff members. Getting in contact with them was very easy and scheduling was also very easy. I took my dog here for an annual exam as he needed to have updated vaccination. Pricing is fair, and they were very gentle with my dog, who is still wary of strangers as a rescue. They also have boarding, daycare, and grooming services. Their daycare rates are really fair compared to market price in the area. I am looking forward to using their daycare service.

As someone who has always been very involved in my dogs' care, I wanted to take the time to write…read morethis review. Vet visits have never been easy for either of my dogs. They are extremely anxious, easily spooked, and previous experiences unfortunately only made that anxiety worse. At our last clinic we had reached the highest doses of their anxiety medications and even with me present, appointments were still extremely stressful. Hope would freeze, vocalize, and at some point I started believing that was just normal for him. Modern Animal completely changed that experience. Hope was unsure at first, but the calm environment, the patience, and the care from the team made such a difference. Dr. Mursa was incredible. She listened to all of my questions and reviewed Hope's records thoroughly. What stood out most was that she brought up safer medication options considering his seizure history, something I had been trying to advocate for elsewhere for months. That level of attention and care meant more than I can explain. I also have to talk about my nurses Alyssa and Isai. Hope historically does not do well with men, yet Isai had him accepting treats, asking for pets, and showing the sweet personality I know he has underneath his anxiety. Alyssa did his blood draw so calmly and efficiently that for the first time I didn't saw him completely lose it, and it was over before he even realized. Both Alyssa and Isai were also incredibly thorough explaining his medications and follow-up care. Thank you all for making my baby feel safe, loved, and cared for. I never thought a vet visit could become something enjoyable for him, and seeing him leave wagging his tail instead of terrified meant everything to me. Me and Hope cannot recommend this team enough.

Dr. Lee was incredibly kind, patient, and informative throughout Pickle's visit. She was very…read morethorough with her examination when Pickle came in for back pain and was hunched and clearly uncomfortable. Dr. Lee took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, did not rush the appointment, and made sure all of my questions were answered. She also clearly explained the next steps for Pickle's care, which gave me a lot of reassurance. Rebecca, the veterinary nurse, was also amazing. She handled Pickle with great care and gentleness, was very thorough in her work, and treated her with genuine kindness. She even carried Pickle carefully when taking her for X-rays, which I really appreciated. Overall, I am very grateful for the compassionate and professional care both Dr. Lee and Rebecca provided to Pickle.

I couldn't ask for a better vet; Dr. Long is very thorough, attentive to my concerns, and takes the time to explain all available options while guiding me through each decision. He also follows up after every appointment to check on how my fur babies are doing. The staff is amazing, providing stellar service--I couldn't ask for more. I highly recommend Newport Animal Hospital

They continue to provide the absolute best care regardless of your pet's lifestage. I especially want to call out Dr Heathcock and Taylore for truly amazing care and responsiveness. They literally bend over backwards to make sure they have covered all the bases and always provide me with the best care and cost options. Not until going to Newport Animal did I ever have a dog that was excited to go to the vet!

Thank you for your response. However, I need to be clear that my experience at your clinic was…read morecompletely unacceptable. I did not feel listened to or respected, and instead of support, I felt dismissed and insulted throughout the process. This is not just a matter of "miscommunication"--it was a lack of basic professionalism and empathy. I hope you take my feedback seriously and make real changes, so that other pet owners do not have to go through what I did. I will not be returning to your clinic, but I do hope you reflect on how you treat your clients.

I recently switched my primary vet for all 3 of my dogs because I felt like the care at All…read moreCreatures had become extremely overpriced and focused more on upselling than the actual needs of my pets. My 9-year-old pug has previously had a severe reaction to the rabies vaccine, which I explained multiple times. Despite this, they refused to give her Cytopoint allergy injection unless she also received the rabies vaccine. Considering she is an indoor pug with a documented vaccine reaction history, this felt very concerning and unnecessary. I also brought in another one of my dogs for Cytopoint, and they insisted on doing a skin scrape first, which added another $200 to the visit. They ultimately found nothing under the microscope. On top of that, they presented an iPad full of "treatment options" recommending over $1,000 worth of additional tests, medications, and procedures. It felt overwhelming and very sales-driven. After visiting our new vet last week, the difference was night and day. No pressure, no excessive treatment plans.. Just compassionate, straightforward care from people who genuinely seemed focused on helping my dogs rather than maximizing profit. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I hope this feedback encourages more transparency and less pressure to upsell unnecessary vaccines, tests, and treatment options.

I work with animals and this vet tech does not represent this clinic in general. She needs to be fired! They care very deeply for animals and I do recommend them for this.
