Animal Hospital of Irvine

We trusted them to help us with our Labrador 10 years ago. We were very happy with their services but moved out of state. Ten years later we find them to be the same great organization (kudos Dr Lai). Services (scheduling, billing and care) were professional and well explained. We are now back with our Lab and her daughter. Trust goes a long way and we are ecstatic to renew our relationship.

EDIT: I’m actually updating my review as I’ve recently experienced a veterinary emergency with my dog and this practice has been THE BEST. My dog was extremely sick on Saturday and after chatting with a local 24-hour vet that said it could wait til morning, I called Animal Hospital of Irvine Sunday morning. They worked my dog into their schedule and have been heavensent ever since. They were transparent about costs, gave multiple options and recommendations based on cost structures, and have gone above and beyond to answer multiple questions, spread over many days. They call right away any time there have been test results and everyone has been so patient and gentle in handling my sick little girl. Seeing my little pup sick and hurting has been awful, but the entire team here from the front desk to the techs to the doctors have all been so kind, so supportive, so gracious, and so wonderful. I’m scared, but I know she is in SUCH great hands and will have the best outcome as a result of this team’s hard work and care. I want to shout my gratitude to them from the rooftops. Go here, you won’t be disappointed!! Such a truly incredible practice. Everyone on the phone has been extremely patient and kind, even when I’ve called on a busy weekend afternoon. I’ve had disorganized records and despite my own lack of preparedness, the team has always been so courteous and kind on the phone. That is only minor foreshadowing to their great levels of empathy and care while in the office. All of the vet techs and assistants have been so loving and gentle towards my dog — they’ve recognized she’s a little people shy and each of them have gone out of their way to make her feel comfortable with them, even carrying her in their arms like a baby! The incredible intelligent and honest vet even got on her hands and knees on the floor with my pup to make her feel more comfortable during her physical exam. I took her in recently for some simple services like nail clipping and when I brought her up to the door, she was running to get inside — something she’s never done before at any of the other vets we have visited. It might be just a touch more expensive than other practices we have visited but my god, every single person here has made it so well worth it. I feel so fortunate to have found them and recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for a knowledgeable, loving, and compassionate practice.
