VMSG located in San Juan Capistrano really understands how traumatic these unfortunate visits could be and they take everything into consideration. We had to bring our Cavalier King Charles in for 24 hour emergency visit around 1 am. We called ahead as they recommend, they answered, and upon arrival the staff was waiting for us, ready to take her right into treatment. The doctors and especially the front desk staff member, Lynne, kept us updated with the treatment process and prognosis and explained all of our options with caring and compassion. Lynne was very good at answering all of our questions and concerns allowing us to make the right decisions at the right time. We're very grateful that we were able to take our little loved one home afterwards to recover. This is a complete facility with all Diagnostics being performed on site including the CVCA Cardiology clinic next door. They provide clean restroom, beverages and even snacks in their waiting area for the family members.

I cannot say enough about the team at VMSG-OC. My 7 year old, 5 lb Yorkie Leo was rushed in on a…read moreSunday afternoon with severe HGE and septic shock... his blood pressure was so low when we got there they couldn't even draw blood. I was preparing for the worst. 4 days in the ICU, a plasma transfusion, around the clock fluids, pressors to keep his BP up, and a whole pharmacy of meds later... he is HOME and recovering great. They told me his kidney levels were dangerously high on intake and by discharge they were completely normal. I still can't believe it. Special shoutout to Dr. Seo who was working the day Leo was at his worst. He called me Monday afternoon to tell me to come in because Leo was deteriorating. I will never forget that conversation. He fought for my dog when I genuinely thought we were saying goodbye. And to Dr. O'Donnell who oversaw his recovery and gave me incredibly clear, honest updates the entire time, even when the news was hard to hear. They were transparent every step of the way, gave me itemized estimates before each new day. If your pet is having an emergency and you're in OC, go here. They have a board certified critical care specialist on staff (not every ER does) and it makes all the difference for cases like Leo's. Forever grateful to this team. They gave me my boy back.

brought my dog in for a painful foot condition and left feeling like the exam was incomplete and…read morefocused on expensive diagnostics rather than addressing what was clearly going on. My dog had significant inflammation in multiple areas of his paw, including between the toes. However, the veterinarian did not examine the underside of his foot or the interdigital webbing, which is where a large portion of the problem was visible. Instead, I was immediately encouraged to proceed with a needle aspirate and cell analysis quoted at approximately $600-$700. I was uncomfortable moving forward with that without first addressing the obvious inflammation and possible infection. I was also quoted additional fees (around $65) to clean a single wound on one toe, while the rest of the paw condition was not discussed or treated. I asked for oral antibiotics and was told no he did not need them, I was prescribed one ointment called Anamax $35, even after I expressly asked for oral antibiotics she said no he did not need them, (the first thing the other hospital i.e. the second vet said, "we need to get him on oral antibiotics for six weeks as well as steroids", we started that protocol and within one day, I've seen huge improvements.) more in this,. After leaving Sendero, My dog was in so much pain, I sought care elsewhere. The second veterinarian examined the entire paw, including between the toes, and treated him with appropriate medications as mentioned above ( oral antibiotics and oral anti-inflammatory medications ). He has already shown noticeable improvement. I paid about $110 for this visit at Sendero and did not feel that my dog received a thorough evaluation or appropriate initial care. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning or recommending this clinic.

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would…read more My dog is a senior Maltipoo, and I am extremely selective about who handles his grooming. My regular vet recommended Ortega Animal Hospital, and my first two visits with Kayla were excellent. Unfortunately, everything since then has been a complete and frustrating failure. I scheduled my dog's grooming appointment online more than two weeks in advance. Two days before the appointment, I happened to notice it had been canceled -- with ZERO notification. No call. No text. No email. Nothing. I immediately called and was told Kayla had left and that my appointment had been moved to a new groomer. I specifically asked whether the new groomer was patient and experienced with senior dogs. I was reassured TWICE that everything was fine and that my Thursday 2:30 PM appointment was confirmed. Based on THEIR confirmation, I took half a day off work and drove 45 minutes to the hospital -- only to be told upon arrival that I did NOT have an appointment. After explaining the situation, the staff went back and forth before bringing out the manager. When I asked for her name, she initially did not provide it. I had to ask multiple times before she finally said her name was "Dubai." I even repeated it back because it did not sound right, and the interaction made me question whether I was actually being given her real name. What was most shocking was the complete lack of accountability. I was repeatedly told there was "no record," as if the inconvenience and wasted time somehow fell on me. No meaningful apology. No urgency to fix the situation. Just a dismissive and unprofessional attitude. The only options offered were: * Leave my senior dog overnight for a next-day appointment (completely unreasonable for a basic grooming)* Accept a partial discount Neither option even begins to cover the time, gas, and work I lost because of THEIR mistake. I spent roughly $40 in gas round-trip and lost half a workday for absolutely nothing. As someone who manages hair salons, I understand mistakes happen. What separates professional businesses from careless ones is how they recover. This location showed zero ownership, zero urgency, and very little respect for a client's time. And frankly -- if this is how they handle a simple grooming appointment, imagine how they would handle your pet's urgent medical needs. This is supposed to be an animal hospital. Based on this experience, I would not trust them with my pet's care at all. When problems arise, they do not take accountability. I have referred many people to this business in the past. Not anymore. Save yourself the frustration, the wasted time, and the money. Take your business elsewhere. **** Update: I just confirmed with the front desk that the manager I dealt with, Andrea, had lied about her own name, previously introducing herself as "Dubai." The fact that she lied about something as simple as her identity shows how poorly this hospital is managed, how much misinformation they give to clients, and makes me seriously question everything she told me. This is extremely concerning. Whoever is in charge, be aware that your manager Andrea is lying to customers and misrepresenting herself.

This 1 star review is for the administration and front desk people. A few days ago we started our dog on an antibiotic pill. It was 3 days tops and our dog started to have a bad reaction so we called to explore an alternative option which we were told would be a $200 shot. We asked if there was a way to credit the antibiotic pill charge seeing as though he had an adverse affect and were told no, that the office manager stated that was not possible. When I asked if I could speak to the office manager I was told no. When I asked if I could speak with Dr. Pat, I was told no and that I'd have to schedule and pay for an in person consultation. I asked if he could please call me back and I was told no. I asked if there was anyone else above the front desk girl I could speak with to dispute the charge and I was told no. This is a terrible business practice and it's left such a bad impression for me. Dr. Pat is a great guy and I can't imagine that he would not allow for his customers to dispute a charge.

We struggled through a condition that kept disguising itself until it was finally unmasked as entropion, an inward-rolling eyelid so easily mistaken for infection. I felt like Sisyphus, and the boulder was this problem. It got heavier, and I couldn't abandon the struggle. That daily weight forged a bond, so much so that when we finally reached the top of the mountain, nothing felt surreal. Everything faded back into our days of sweat, the way mountain fog absorbs the grander view in detail. And then came the emptiness. The strange abandonment of having nothing left to fight for. Until Leonardo climbed onto my chest, dug his head into me, and frolicked the way he always has, except this time, I'm certain he was thankful. The grandest thing I could have imagined. Cats most definitely whisper. And when you're most receptive, they speak the most enormous truths. Dr. Soheil Shah, looking at his eye in this picture, your artistry is clear to me.
