I have no problems with anyone at this establishment, except the owner. Took my 17 year old dog in for a check up for one of her growths / warts. Mind you, she was still very active for her age and was eating, drinking, sleeping, just fine. Extremely playful for a 17 year old dog as well. My dogs usual vet was out of the office and the owner stepped in to fill the duty of the vet for the day I guess. Red flag #1 was when this man showed up over an hour late for an appointment and strolled in as if he didn’t just make us wait in a building with no AC during a heatwave. When he finally decided he took enough of his sweet time, he came in to check on my dog and then he asked the usual vet questions. Once he felt he had enough information he took her to the back to get a more in depth look at her and this is when things took a turn for the worst. Without asking us, or consenting with us, consulting us, or literally without doing anything, he decided to give my dog a steroid shot. My 17 year old, 10 pound dog a steroid shot. He brought her back to me and told me what he had done and I was visibly puzzled but I didn’t really know what I could do at that point the damage had been done. What was the shot even for? She just had some skin irritation. What if I couldn’t afford the cost of the shot? Apparently he does this so often that the staff is aware of it and they claim there’s nothing they can do cause “he’s the owner”. This moron took my dogs life. She went from being so playful and happy the week prior to her appointment, to being miserable and in so much discomfort almost immediately after the steroid shot. Over the course of the next week she instantly started going downhill. Throwing up, not being able to walk, having blood in her fecal matter. It got to the point where we had no choice but to put her down. After getting several other opinions from other vets they all agreed that the steroid shot was the cause of all of this and I truly hope the owner of this place rethinks his career cause he’s a clown. Had I known this idiot was going to do that I would have never let him give her a steroid shot and she would still be here with me today.

Dr. Kelly and her staff are simply amazing. We have been taking our pets here for years. We love and trust them 💯 and have brought many unusual cases to diagnose. 😁 Hands down best vet clinic here in South OC.

Highly recommend this vet for your fur babies! I reached out to them when our smallest cat came into our life. She desperately walked on up looking for help. I called around for any vet that would see me right away as I knew she needed help and they were the only ones in the area to fit me in on such late notice. All the staff here are great in their roles, personable, caring, and take their time with you and your pet. They care so much that they recommended I waited a couple extra weeks before starting vaccines to make sure our little one was well enough to handle them. It was nice to have a vet that cared more about their health. I had vets in the past that would rush the vaccine process. Our little one needed iv fluids, eye drops, de-wormmer, and flea meds. My husband and I were a little bit afraid of the bill but they actually didn't overcharge like other places we have gone to in the past. We loved this place so much we ended up bringing in our other cat for a check-up and medication. Both cats are doing great. Our little one only weighed 1 pound when we brought her and now is up to 3 pounds and living her best life. We will be going back to get her spayed when the time is right. They work with an animal hospital nearby if your animal has any reactions in the night. I haven't been there but I'm sure they are great if they are recommending them. This vet also works with the nerby shelter and does spayed and neutering for them. Pro: affordable, caring, professional, experts, reasonable Con: nothing

I brought my puppy (Cyclone) here for the last few months for vaccinations, spay, and other miscellaneous visits. The staff is very helpful, provide reasonable prices, and always check up on puppy’s health.
