My family brought our 6-year-old pit bull to this clinic for a routine neuter. When we picked him…read moreup, he was extremely sedated still and unable to walk on his own. After bringing him home, his condition worsened, his tongue turned blue, and unfortunately he passed away. I understand that anesthesia and surgery can carry risks, but this was devastating and unexpected. He was a healthy dog. I strongly recommend that pet owners choosing a shelter for spay or neuter procedures consider having blood work done before surgery to check for any underlying conditions that may not be obvious beforehand. I'm sharing this so other pet owners feel comfortable asking detailed questions about post-operative recovery, discharge criteria, monitoring, and what signs should prompt emergency care after surgery.

We were so concerned about this but Lulu was in great hands at Not Just For Paws. Dr. Caudle was able to find the remnant and remove it! They even showed us what they removed when we got there, which put our minds at ease knowing the issue had truly been taken care of. The ladies that helped us at the front desk had such good customer service and the technicians had amazing bed side manner! We will definitely be telling people about this place. Thank you Not Just for Paws for taking should good care of our Lulu!

Our dog was recently attacked by a coyote. We called Menifee Animal Hospital as they were close and…read morewe hoped they could see him immediately. They treated him quickly, were kind, considerate, and informative with upfront pricing and treatment and professional care reccomendations.

EDIT: The response from ownership honestly proves my concerns regarding professionalism and…read morecommunication. It is not "personal character assassination" to reference the public tone and wording that YOU, as the business owner, chose to post publicly under multiple client concerns. Clients are allowed to discuss their experiences and reactions to public interactions from management, especially when those responses come across as hostile, combative, or dismissive. I already acknowledged the written policy in my original review. My concern was the conflicting verbal information provided when I proactively called in an attempt to responsibly reschedule the appointment, as well as the professionalism displayed afterward. Feedback and criticism are part of accountability within any business, especially within healthcare and veterinary settings. Responding defensively to criticism instead of professionally only further reinforces the concerns being raised. I did not simply "miss" an appointment or fail to communicate. I proactively called ahead because I was unable to make the scheduled appointment time and was attempting to responsibly reschedule the appointment. During that conversation, I specifically asked what the fee would be and was verbally told it would be $20. (Please train YOUR staff accordingly if this does not reflect YOUR current policy.) Instead, I was later charged the full $78.97 deposit. What concerned me most was not even the money itself, but the way the situation was handled afterward. The communication from staff felt inconsistent, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile despite my attempt to communicate responsibly ahead of time. After this experience, I began reading through owner responses to other client concerns online and was honestly shocked by the aggressive tone and public hostility displayed by management. Businesses absolutely have the right to respond to reviews, but professionalism, compassion, and respectful communication should still be maintained, especially in a veterinary setting where clients are already stressed and emotional. The "Dr." ego is very real here. Instead of accountability or professionalism, many of the public responses from ownership come across as combative, defensive, and focused on publicly arguing with clients rather than resolving concerns respectfully. The overall experience left me extremely uncomfortable and lacking confidence in the professionalism of the practice. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this clinic to carefully read both the reviews and the owner responses before making a decision. Feedback is what keeps checks and balances within an organization. Public criticism should not be met with hostility, defensiveness, or condescension from ownership. It should be handled with professionalism, accountability, and respect.

Our girl, Nikka, is a 12…read moreyear old Husky/Shepherd mix and she recently developed some hind leg soreness/stiffness and urinary incontinence. We took her to a conventional vet to rule out UTI/kidney issues and had X rays done to ensure there was nothing grossly abnormal structurally with her bones. Everything checked out and I knew I didn't want to start her on a medication with significant side effects or have her on pain meds indefinitely, so I searched for holistic vets who did acupuncture and was so happy to see Dr. Rose was local to us! . On our first visit, Dr. Rose did a thorough exam of Nikka and informed us that Nikka had an unusual heart murmur. A different vet at a conventional clinic that had seen Nikka just a few weeks earlier also mentioned the heart murmur but said it was very mild/quiet and didn't seem concerned about it all and didn't give us any indication that it needed to be investigated. I thought that the murmur must be no big deal based on how the first vet handled the finding. Dr. Rose immediately told us that Nikka's heart murmur was quite pronounced and unusual sounding and she gave us a lot of info and recommendations on next steps. . Well, today we took Nikka to a cardiologist where she had an ECHO and it turns out she has dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which, thankfully, has been caught early and might be able to be improved with medication and dietary changes. . Dr. Rose literally saved Nikka's life with her attention to detail, her excellent clinical skills, and her prompt and informative follow up and recommendations. I will be eternally and forever grateful to her competence and expertise. . Nikka has also had 2 sessions of acupuncture and cold laser/photobiomodulation and she definitely has more pep in her step. Nikka also loves coming to Serenity Holistic Vet, she isn't anxious or nervous and just settles right down and relaxes when the acupuncture needles are in. Dr. Rose is a gem and we are so lucky to have her here in Murrieta.

I have been coming to this vet office for approximately 8-10 years. First under Doctor Telles and…read morenow Dr. Post. I initially found them when Banfield suggested a procedure for my Westie that didn't sound right to me and the vet refused to provide appropriate details or even answer my questions. So I sought a second opinion. Dr. Telles actually did x-rays and her diagnosis was that the procedure recommended by Banfield was not necessary and she saved me approximately $800. Thus started our relationship. Years later, now with an additional dog, I had a terrible diagnosis of my Westie (16 yrs at the time) of kidney failure. Dr. Post was thorough, patient and while I was trying to come to terms with the news and possible euthanasia, Dr. Post pleaded with me to let him try flushing the kidneys first. Not only did that work, he put him on a prescription diet and I got to spend another year with my Mac before his kidneys ultimately failed him. Six months prior to that, I lost my 11.5 yr old to cancer. Dr. Post wasn't there, however, the vet standing in for him was just as empathetic. Both times I received sympathy cards from the vet and staff. I love how this staff loved my dogs for so many years. Both Doctors always provided me multiple options for whatever treatments they recommended. Let me just say that I NEVER felt like this business was trying to upsell me on anything! That has not been my experience.

I visited three different veterinary clinics in Wildomar and Murrieta because it was important to me to meet the veterinarians and ensure my baby would be truly cared for. Dr. Post is amazing and clearly a true animal lover, which makes all the difference. You can barely see Peppers' spay scar, so he is clearly a talented surgeon as well. Thank you again for everything!

They were able to properly diagnose and treat him at a very reasonable cost. Dr. Sean and Kezziah were incredibly attentive and patient, taking the time to make sure I understood everything.

AMCC was constantly overbooked, couldn't keep scheduled appointment times, had very long phone hold…read moretimes, inflated prices for medications, took days to approve scripts and order medical devices, misdiagnosed my dog's condition and could not competently treat it once it was correctly diagnosed. I started bringing Ruby to AMCC in the spring of 2023. She had developed a wheeze and had been suffering hind leg pain since injuring her knee in 2021. Dr. Hymes diagnosed Ruby's wheeze as allergies and her hind leg pain as osteoarthritis. She suggested considering monthly shots of Librela for the arthritis. AMCC made it purposefully difficult to get medications from other sources. They wanted me to purchase Ruby's medications from them, as opposed to online pharmacies, at greatly inflated prices. All medications were at least 2-3 times more expensive than an online pet pharmacy. While they would eventually approve medications to be filled, it usually took them days to do so, and often required multiple calls to get the Rx filled. There was always a wait to be seen at AMCC, at least 45 minutes to an hour after our appointment time. I started Ruby on Librela injections in November 2024. The injection took seconds to administer. At one of Ruby's appointments for just her injection, we waited for 3 hours from our appointment time for her to receive her shot. Whenever I called the office, a 15 minute hold time was the norm, lasting up to 20 minutes sometimes. Librela has warnings from its manufacturer not to be given to dogs with neurological conditions. After 6 months of Librela shots, Ruby's breathing went into crisis after an injection in April. Dr. Hymes finally correctly diagnosed Ruby with laryngeal paralysis (a neurological condition that affects the larynx and often, the hind legs (GOLPP)) after misdiagnosing her for 2 years. I researched and felt that a laryngeal stent would be the least invasive solution for Ruby. A vet in Texas, Dr. Garner, specializes in this procedure and was very helpful in giving information to Dr. Hymes. Having not performed this treatment before, she nevertheless felt confident in her ability to place the stent and agreed to perform the procedure in July 2025. She ordered the wrong size of stents from the medical supply company, despite instructions from Dr. Garner's office on how to order the appropriate size. The first attempt at the procedure resulted in the placement of a very undersized stent. It took an entire week for AMCC just to place the order for the right stents. They initially tried to charge me for both sets but I objected and they relented. The day of the second stent placement, I took Ruby in at 8am. After hearing nothing from AMCC all day, I got a call shortly before closing, asking me if Ruby's procedure could be performed the next day. She'd spent all day at the clinic and nothing had been done. Frustrated, I insisted that it be performed that evening. Ruby was still not seen until 8pm, a full 12 hours after I'd dropped her off. At one point during the procedure, I overheard Dr. Hymes say that if it didn't work again, "He can go to Texas and get it done there." The procedure only took around 2 hours, and we left at 11. I felt bad for the staff's long day, but I was also frustrated with them for having neglected Ruby all day, particularly after all the other mistakes made up to that point. But Ruby was finally breathing normally again for the first time in 2 years, and I was relieved. The next day was Ruby's last day. She coughed the stent out around noon. Immediately, her breathing was labored, and I let AMCC know that the procedure did not work once again. They said it'd be too difficult to replace the stent that day and to wait until Monday (they are closed on weekends) and they would try a 3rd attempt. Ruby's breathing was at first not markedly worse than it had been during previous breathing crises, so I thought that she'd be OK with the drugs we were given to keep her calm until Monday. Throughout that day and night, it became increasingly difficult for Ruby to breathe. I took her to an emergency vet in the middle of the night but she started shutting down, turning blue, and losing control of her bodily functions and I had to euthanize her later that morning. Ruby's last day was full of pain and fear. I will probably second-guess the decisions I made for Ruby forever, including taking her to AMCC in the first place. I can't help but think that she'd still be here if I'd taken her to a different vet 3 years ago, who would've correctly diagnosed her and treated her effectively. Ruby deserved better care than she got at AMCC. At some point, I will get another dog and bring it to a veterinary clinic for its care...but it will not be the Animal Medical Center of Corona.
