    Where do I begin with this vet hospital? The staff is absolutely incredible and kind, and I love the brand new facility, which is much closer to me than their hospital in Huntington Beach. Dr. Nguyen is an all-star doctor who knows exactly what to do in every situation. My pup Archer has a long history of ear infections, and Johnny gave us the right solution to fix things. He takes his time and gives a thorough analysis. Definitely a stand-up place to take your pets!

    YES TO FRIENDLY!!!!! Your animals will thank you! I love my fur children. Cats are hard for many veterinarian's because they are not dogs. I have had too many experiences when some very emotionally detached veterinarian and their staff, man handles and terrorizes my cat(s), while telling me it's ok. Dr. Johnny Nguyen, is the opposite of this in every way. After my beloved Dr. Kathy retired, I needed a new veterinarian... I unequivocally recommend this office - From the first phone call to check out and everything in between. The staff are friendly, patient, kind, helpful, welcoming and listen and explain everything. The facility is brand new, has amazing technology and a comfortable atmosphere. I never felt pressured into expensive procedures. I have often felt shamed by vets when I choose not to accept all of their suggestions, like I am a crappy animal owner because I choose not to have a 300 exploratory blood test. Dr. Johnny spoke softly, handled my babies gently, they all LOVED HIM!!! Additionally, my cat has an interesting genetic anomaly, which he continued to research and send information, well after my appointment. He was knowledgeable without being condescending, and truly seems to like animals! And to no fault of their own, are dealing with a torn up parking lot. HATERS GONNA HATE - this has NOTHING to do with their competency - an inconvenience for them too, but they work around it.

    I like them. I have another vet a little further away but I saw this spot being built and was very curious so I took them up on their $27/ first exam for new patients offer. The doctor got on Einstein's level, very knowledgeable of Stein's symptoms and had a few options for what he recommended was the best course of treatment. He mentioned we could try some of the antibiotics as like a trial run and if it didn't workout, we could try something else. The rooms are very clean, I like that they have marble benches to sit on, it's not the gross cushion ones you're scared of what might have happened to them in the past. No bleach or urine smell. Overall it was like a dog spa vibe and everyone was very helpful. And there's great parking!

    I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. This is a 10 out of 10 experience. I am so happy I found Orange Friendly Animal Hospital. My other vet was going under construction, and I was worried about my cat's health. I called in for an appointment, but it later turned into an emergency case; they immediately brought us into a room and helped us out that same morning. Dr. Nguyen and his team are so wonderful and passionate people. They explained everything to you to the details and help you understand what the next steps are. They keep you updated and are really with you the whole process. Everyone was so kind too. I would definitely recommend Orange Friendly Animal Hospital to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen and his team, for everything and for welcoming me and my cat, Sans, into your open arms. I'll definitely be coming back.

    What a dream pet hospital! From the phone calls, to check-in, and examination 10/10 Staff is attentive and actually enjoys what they do. You can just feel the vibez~~~ Dr. Johnny is articulate and informative! He will love your animal! He's not cold and he's not quick to leave. He doesn't dismiss you, rather provides suggestions and his whys behind it. Honestly, I just love that they love my animal because that means the most to me! Rhino received a teeth cleaning and his smile was so bright I became blind! THEIR PRICES ARE AFFORDABLE and a great deal considering location + service. Payment plan is available and it was so quick and easy! I also appreciate that they didn't shove vaccinations or any additional services down my throat. I'm so happy I found my go-to spot. Janelle and Crystal, THANK YOU for taking care of us. The hospitality between you 2 was great. Amazing place. Amazing team!

    Our dog is now a year old, we've brought him since we first got him as a puppy. Everyone at the office has always been so kind and welcoming. We've never waited long after showing up for an appointment. They have always been upfront about pricing.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I just have to share how happy I am after visiting here. I've taken my cats to many vets over the years, but I think I finally found the one! The clinic is newly opened, spotless, and smells so clean . You can tell they really care about keeping everything sanitized and welcoming. Dr. Nguyen was incredibly kind and thorough during the exam. I brought both of my cats in for dental cleaning, and everything was done the same day, including in-house blood work. It made the whole process so smooth and stress-free for both me and my cats. The pricing was also very fair, especially for the level of care they provide. I left feeling so relieved and grateful knowing my cats were in good hands. I'm definitely coming back for all their future checkups. 100% recommend this clinic to any pet parent who wants a caring, professional, and trustworthy vet team.

    I've been going to Dr. Johnny Nguyen for 2 dogs across the years now and I really appreciate how insightful and preventative his approach on veterinary care is. He always lists out the pros and cons before making any decisions. Not to mention he has great mannerisms with pets. I always leave the vet office here feeling reassured my dogs are in good hands. The facilities here are all new and clean. I personally really like the room with the cherry blossom ceilings. You can really tell everyone here loves animals also. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for transparency, and compassionate care for their pets!

    I've been going to Dr. Nguyen since the Huntington Beach location and my dogs love him so of course we followed him to this new location. Even though I live all the way in the SGV, we always make the long drives. My dog wasn't eating and we suspected dental issues but Dr. Nguyen and team took great care of him! He had loose teeth and a root abscess that Dr. Nguyen took care of. His team was thorough with the aftercare and the meds for Chief. My dog has bad anxiety but Dr. Nguyen & the team are always so good with him.

    Happy Carmen getting groomed by Jessica!

    This review is long overdue. I've been bringing my dog, Chelsea, to OC Veterinary for 10 years,…read moreever since I moved her down from the Bay Area. Chelsea recently passed away at 17, almost 18. She had such a long, happy life because of the care she received here. Chelsea was my baby, and I know how hard it can be to find a good vet. Pets can't talk, but you can see when they are genuinely cared for--and Chelsea got the best care at OC Veterinary. From the receptionists to the doctors, she was loved by everyone, and I am so grateful for that. Chelsea saw both Dr. Horn and, mostly, Dr. Nikki--both are exceptional veterinarians. We saw Dr. Nikki the most, and we had a very special connection with her. After Chelsea passed, Dr. Nikki even reached out to check on us, which was incredibly kind. She is practical, compassionate, and everything you could want in a vet. Chelsea also saw the groomer, Heather, who was very gentle and careful with her. Chelsea had back issues and was an older little lady, so it was comforting to know she was in safe hands. Sandra and Steve also made a big impact on Chelsea's life, especially Steve. They cared for her like she was their own family. Steve even called to check on us after Chelsea passed, which meant so much. I'm sorry this review comes so late, but I feel Chelsea would have wanted me to write it, and I want to honor her memory. No one enjoys visiting the doctor, but I am so grateful that we found such a wonderful facility to care for Chelsea. I loved her with all my heart, and after our family, OC Veterinary loved her most.

    Dr. Lee and team slayed my pup's spay! As noted in my…read moreoriginal review, my pup got spayed back in March of this year, and the whole process was as smooth as it possibly could have been (besides me being a nervous wreck the whole time because what dog mom isn't when their fur baby is undergoing surgery?!) The staff was super reassuring, answered every question to every last detail, Dr. Lee made sure to come and speak with me directly to also provide that added reassurance as well. They were very thorough with the discharge as well, I got a phone call from Dr. Lee the moment her spay was completed to let me know everything went well, and he informed me that I could pick her up in a few additional hours as to ensure they could monitor her post spay before discharge. When i went to pick her up, she was understandably zoned out but, you could also tell she was well looked after and she felt safe being with the staff (this is what really made the experience so comforting for me) I was provided discharge papers with instructions, and medication for her to take over the next couple of days. Her incisions were done so neatly, and the stitches were so impressively done! It took about a week for her to be back to her sassy self, and by the end of week 2, her stitches were barely visible!! Dr. Lee uses dissolving stitches so there was no need to go back to have them removed. This was also a huge plus for me as other vets I had shopped around at, did inform me that I would need to come in for stitches to be removed and for a follow up exam. Dr. Lee made it simple and simply asked that I provide detailed photos via email, and that if he felt there was need for a follow up he would determine it at that time. Needless to say, no follow up was needed! It's now been 4 months post spay and my pup doesn't even have a scar! CUSTOMER SERVICE: I had to share, I emailed Dr. Lee's office about an hour ago asking about some general vaccine questions. I didn't expect any answer today as it's past 5 PM on a Sunday, and their office is closed on Sundays anyhow. To my surprise, someone replied to me within minutes, and continued to reply back and forth within the email thread for nearly 20 minutes to answer all my questions!! I know lots of places out there advertise "24 hour support" etc. yet fall short. Lee animal hospital doesn't advertise that but, their customer service simply speaks for itself. This wasn't an email around a paid service or appointment, it was a genuine generic question that I could have easily searched online for an answer but, opted to ask the team for peace of mind. Really shows what a great staff they have and how they truly care about their clients! If you're looking for a new vet, a secondary vet, or just a better vet, i highly recommend Lee animal hospital. Even if you're not local to Orange, if you're in the surrounding cities, it's well worth the short commute and it's conveniently located right off the freeway which is a bonus!

I ultimately had surgery performed elsewhere, where the surgeon had to completely revise the palate and remove a tooth to access the airway. I later learned from the original veterinarian that revisions were supposedly provided at no charge. The veterinarian's insurer has now denied my claim. I understand that things go wrong in life, but what matters most to me is what do you do when things go wrong? I never received anything stating that they do revisions for free. No one told me that when I called in regarding her being symptomatic again, so I had to pay for two surgeries. Be careful when you go for Care !

    I don't really go out of my way to write reviews, but this experience was so disappointing and I…read morewould like to share. I've been with the office for almost five years. I have a senior dog who will be 15 in a few days. I've never really had any terrible experiences with the staff or the doctor, until recently. My dog was treated for a uti that he may or may not have had, but based on the doctors quick visit with my dog, he prescribed him the medicine. I contacted him about a week or so after the medicine was complete to let him know my dog was still urinating on himself and I was concerned about pancreatic issues. He told me to come in and they would conduct a urinalysis. Perfect! That was complete and I was told I would get a call with the results the following 24 hours....that call never came. I reached out to the office about a week later asking for the results and was told, "it was negative." I asked for further information bc the symptoms my dog was exhibiting didn't make sense with the negative result. No explanation. Ok, fine. Even that didn't necessarily leave a bad taste in my mouth. A few days ago I walked into the office, in tears, asking to speak to the doctor as my dog has rapidly declined and was not doing well. As I am crying and visibly distraught, three of the staff ask me "well what's wrong...is it bloodwork that he needs?" I said, "no, I want to speak to the doctor, my dog is not doing well." They continued to ask, "what exactly is it" again, as I am visibly distraught. I told them I did not feel comfortable disclosing that information as I believed it was obvious as I continued to say my dog is not doing well and I wanted to speak to the doctor. I was then told to try to email the doctor and he was not available to speak to me. As upset as I was, I did email the doctor....guess what, I never received a call or an email back. I decided I would switch to a different vet as I am in need of guidance as my dog is not doing well. I contacted the office asking for my dogs medical records to which the staff told me they would email me. I did not receive the email. I then called the following day asking for the records and was told, "I have been meaning to call you, I don't think the email went through." Well, there was no way she was "meaning to call me" bc it was already noon and they like to drill into everyone's head that between 1230-3 they are in surgeries. So, really...they weren't actually going to call me back. Anyway, she resent the email with no attachments, amazing! Forget about having compassion, they can't even send a proper email! I called, for the third time, and this time I was angry and said I needed the email as soon as possible, this was absolutely absurd. The staff then proceeded to explain that she had a full lobby of people and she would send it later, to which I cut her off and told her to not explain further, I just needed her to do her job...send the damn email, it takes two seconds and if they would have done it correctly the first time, we would not have to go back and forth on the phone. Given all of these things, I have yet to receive a simple call from the doctor himself. I would have never thought in a million years that people who work with animals would treat pet owners like this...absolutely insane. No compassion, no brain cells either. Please save yourself the money, bc this place is insanely priced, save yourself the terrible staff interactions, and find yourself and your pet a different clinic.

    My pet cat had an onset of severe allergies. His standard vet without really hearing our concerns…read moresaid probably fleas because of the area we're in. Before bringing in the pet I looked up what could be causing the symptoms - I've had dogs before with flea outbreak so I know what flea eggs look like. I decided to try out dr woods to see if he he'd have other alternatives routes we could take and the risks; he listened and reasoned through some of the literature I found (I thought it could be allergies to a kibble we switched the cat to). He also explained that even though you don't visibly see flea eggs- pets could be allergic to a flea bite (which doesn't manifest into a flea outbreak). Their time estimation for lab results and medicine was truly quick. We were very impressed. The parking lot is big but the street is very busy during peak times.

I had called earlier to ask questions before making an appointment and they were really good about calling my back right away. Intake was quick and easy. They had paperwork I missed filling up before the appointment but it is short and completed in no time. The reception folks were super nice and chill -I had tried to go to a big name hospital vet last month and did not appreciate the attitude the front desk people gave. After intake, they weighed my dog and got us a room. We also didn't have to wait long to see the Dr. He was really calm which I liked as my dog is fearful reactive. Also, he was good about not pushing treatments for my boy that I did not feel comfortable about. I appreciate that reception also emailed an itemized copy of my receipt at end of day. The other clinic I had to call a week later to remind them to send it Service was great, I liked the people. Inside the clinic was cute and welcoming. It did smell like pee in the waiting room but it probably just happened before our appointment. I asked for training resources and and they gave me a card of a local trainer. A good amount of parking in the shared lot. All in all pleased with visit and service. Thank you Dr. Woods and epic front desk team.
