Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

The best experience I've ever had out of veterinarian place. If you want your animal to be taken care of this is the place. I've never been treated so kindly and seen staff so happy. The veterinarian who came out was amazing and her staff was amazing.

We looked everywhere for an affordable orthopedic surgeon for our cat and finally found this place. We drove all the way from Corona and it was worth it. Our cat had been shot by a bb gun. They staff was so sweet, even to my kids. The doctor explained everything. The staff was very helpful and we are grateful that our cat is on the road to recovery

For being an animal hospital they do NOT know how to treat animals. My partner and I wanted to try a new vet as our usual place is usually extremely busy as it goes off of a first come first serve basis. From the beginning, the doctor comes in with another female assistant, as she goes to check on my dog, she comes from behind his side to examine him. Anyone who has worked with dogs knows that is not the appropriate way to approach ANY dog as it makes them feel uncomfortable as they are unable to see what is going on. My dog is already an anxious dog, given that they have never met our dog or us we expected some type of knowledge from them on how to appropriately approach a dog given this is a animal hospital. The vet also just stared at my dog, again another thing you do not do with a dog you’ve never met or even with one you have met as dogs see this as a sign of intimidation. He did not take the time to make sure my dog felt safe and felt no threat. I would previously recommend this place to anyone who had asked about vets in the area as I have had friends that had positive experiences. I will not be coming back and will not be recommending this place going forward as they clearly do not know how to handle dogs.

Do not, under any circumstances, visit this place. We brought our dog in to get her teeth checked--they put her under anesthesia and only then told us they needed to pull 7 of her teeth! We now suspect she did not need that many (or possibly any) teeth pulled and they did this just to drive up the price (over $1k) with no regard to her actual health. Thankfully she seems to be ok and still eats and drinks fine, but I've heard stories from friends and neighbors whose pets experienced horrible treatment at this establishment--in one case a dog died due to their negligence. Dr. Tran should not be allowed to "treat" any animal ever again.

I’ve been coming here for over 8 years. The staff is very friendly. Every time I see the doctor, they greet you with a warm smile.
