Dr Dawn Love is reassuring, dedicated, caring and treats your dog as her own. The receptionist Maria is very pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful.

    We took our dog to North Orange Veterinary for his anal glands to be checked and treated.We were…read moresent home with an antibiotic. It was working great, everything seemed cleared up, until the final day of the treatment. The one gland started oozing again, so we went back to the vet. They determined that the best course of action was to sedate him, flush the gland and fill it with antibiotics. They gave us no cause for concern, so we asked about a skin tag on his eye, if that could be removed while he was out. They said most likely, but it may require just a bit more sedation to ensure it wouldn't wear off before they were done. They gave us no cause for concern. They gave us another antibiotic I think. We had to have him there at 9am, no food after a certain the night before and no water after 6am i think it was. We had him there on time. He was happy to go in that morning. we were given the time frame of when he might be ready to go home. When they took the leash to take him back, he hesitated, then went along. That was at 9 am. We received a call in the afternoon that he crashed out. We were stunned, they clarified it was a heart attack. We flew over there. Dr. Love came in and said she was so sorry. That she didn't know what happened; maybe he had a heart condition we didn't know about, or an allergy to the medication. Well at least their insurance company sent me a letter saying they did nothing wrong. We are just getting started with these people and the Love Doctor.. See you in court soon! Don't go to this place.

When I walked in the people at the front desk were super nice and understanding. Side note: He doesn't like men or going new places. I had to put a muzzle on him so he wouldn't bite anyone during the appointment. My pup also does bite work as he is a working dog. I let everyone know that he does and would need a muzzle to make the process go a little smoother. I felt terrible the whole time and I know it was comfortable for him. The doctor walks in and tells me to hold him by the collar to look at his eyes all this while my dog is flipping out, overstimulated from a man trying to walk toward him. He said that he does have an eye infection and wants to put medication in his eyes. I said I'll do it at home as I already had dogs that have special eye drops. He looked at me like I must be crazy or something. He then proceeded to say "you should get your dog trained" I'm sorry what??? Do not tell me that I should get my dog trained when you don't know anything about him and are trying to hold him and force medication in his eyes. Kept nagging about getting him trained and gave me a business card. I would like to point out I train my dog everyday and take him to a training facility where they know what I need to do to help my dog. My dog is fine but I think it's the doctor that needs to get educated on how to handle dogs cause he clearly doesn't.

I always received thoughtful care and thorough explanations, with top notch lab work every year. The vet techs and front desk staff are great, but the vets that replaced a retired Dr. Alcorn and his staff are really bad, hard to understand, and flat out unprofessional. I booked an appointment after finding a raised bump near my dog's anus that clearly looked out of the ordinary. Doctor K insisted that it was "inflammation" and wanted to give me anti-inflammatory medicine for 10 days then return to see if it goes away. I had to ask why he would not biopsy it to make sure it's not a tumor, because it clearly looked odd and not at all like inflammation. He agreed to the biopsy. He called after several days and Lo & behold, it IS a tumor! And it was growing very rapidly. To be 100% honest, and I hate saying this, I couldn't understand what he was saying while on the phone. His accent makes it difficult to understand already unfamiliar words regarding her bloodwork. I did understand that he would have the staff call me back to schedule a surgery to remove it if I wanted to, or just leave it alone. I insisted that I wanted to remove it as quickly as possible, as I noticed it was growing fast. Staff never called. I started looking around for another vet, because at this point I wasn't confident in his professionalism. At day 10 I finally called and mentioned that he never called me back to schedule surgery. I admitted to the staff that I felt terrible, but I couldn't understand what he was saying about the bloodwork and was hoping they could help out. I apologized, and they mentioned that it actually happens often with him. They even offered to help relay some of the information as needed. When Dr. K finally called back the next day, I reminded him that he was supposed to call to schedule the surgery and he flat out said "Oh I forgot, I must've been delayed." And then asked for pictures of the mass before he agreed to do the surgery. As if he hadn't been the one to see the mass in the vet visit! I told him that I wanted to schedule the surgery right away, because it had grown in size and he had already forgotten to schedule once before. He said "okay send the pictures and I'll call back to schedule."...... Well, he never called back to schedule. So I took her to another veterinary office and they re-ran her bloodwork and scheduled her for surgery the next day! I called the front desk to politely discuss what happened with Dr. K and how unprofessional it was. I expressed disappointment because I loved their practice before. They mentioned that they did change ownership, and Dr. Alcorn retired, in fact, much of the original staff no longer works there. I apologized to the front desk staff and told them that the unprofessional experience had nothing to do with them, but that the overall experience was extremely bad. The staff I spoke to was so nice and understanding. She did ask if I wanted to speak to Dr. K. I asked her to remind him that I'm still waiting for him to call to schedule and see if he even bothers. He called that night at 8:40PM. 8:40PM........ honestly, what used to be a great vet hospital is now an unnecessarily expensive and unprofessional shit show. DO NOT BRING YOUR ANIMALS.
