Surf City Pet Hospital

Apart from kindness, I didn’t have a good experience. I was told my male cat had dry skin and to give him some omega-3 to help. Just a few days later, I had a flea crawling on my chest. I’ve never seen a flea, so I wasn’t sure what it was at first. I just moved to California, so I had no experience with them. When I checked my male cat AND my female cat, they were infested with fleas. (And not just eggs. Full-grown fleas. My female even had bites on her back.) My cats are indoor cats only. I have no dogs. I ended up taking him to another vet. I was told there was *no way* my cat was examined. Those fleas were too advanced to miss. I went through three expensive flea treatments in my home, including one requiring an overnight stay in a hotel. Since then, I’m so incredibly paranoid that it will happen again. When I saw this clinic just won “Best of Orange County,” I had to speak up. It’s disappointing. I’m not saying they don’t do good, but clearly they take shortcuts. I don’t think I want to take the chance.

Wonderful place to take our dogs! My whole family uses surf city veterinarian. Dr. Sally and her staff are quite knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend for any of your pets.

My wife and I have been to SurfCity several times with our 2 dogs to have their nails trimmed, etc. The front office always seems to be nice, but they are insistent that you cannot go back with your pet, in fact I have never met the Doctor yet !! Today was a perfect example, I needed to have my dogs nails clipped and ears checked, temp taken, etc. my dog was in there for 5 min at most. The only feedback I received was that my dogs ears were fine & $60 charge. When I got home home my wife asked me for details, which I could not provide, so she called the office. They said they gave our dog a shot and sent home some salve. Upon further inquiry, the receptionist said she was reading notes from a year ago from a previous visit !! Bottom line….poor communication, no interaction with the vet. We will not be returning….

I found a very sick kitten and was able to be seen quickly. The staff was amazing! They were thorough in explaining medications and answering any questions I might have. They were patient, kind, and understanding of my concerns.

Compassionate personal care for my 'furry baby' MISTY is what Dr. Gindi and her staff genuinely demonstrated during our visits at Surf City Pet Hospital in Huntington Beach, CA. Dr. Gindi is very professional, passionate and so wonderful with all of the ‘furry babies’ that enter her office; the reason I continued my loyalty in bringing Misty to this Vet. office. Immediately walking in, you are welcomed by very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Their prices are also reasonable. Dr. Gindi gently cared for Misty (she had a heart murmur) when a prior Vet gave her only months to live. With the proper medication and love from Dr. Gindi and her staff for Misty’s GREAT CARE, her quality of life was awesome as she lived an extra 5 years. Misty (age 13) is in doggie heaven. I am so grateful to Dr. Gindi and her staff, as their compassion and personal care for my MISTY was fantastically outstanding! I highly recommend those who love your ‘furry babies’ to make Surf City Pet Hospital in Huntington Beach your pet’s favorite Doctor to visit. In appreciation always, R. Ramos
