everyone was amazing! From the front desk to your awesome nurse, Arianna and Dr. Lewis! you made a scared dad feel very safe and comfortable. Moxie seemed very at ease with everyone, and I am stoked about being able to come back with the puppy package! Read Less

Such a professional and welcoming Vet. From making appointments to the level of care, the clear information about what the treatment plan and the financial assessment. There is never any pressure to do or pay for anything not approved in advance. Follow up phone calls about lab results and general overall kindness when dealing with a sick pet (loved one) is much appreciated. Dr. Lewis and his team are the best in Huntington Beach. Read Less

So happy we found Dr. Lewis for our pups! He clearly loves animals. He builds his treatment plan considering the whole picture. I have an older pup with hip/knee problems and instead of a more aggressive (and more expensive) treatment plan he suggested something else due to her advanced age. Needless to say, our senior pup is responding great to treatment and I'll be calling for a rx refill soon! Read Less

They tried to charge me over $500 after a routine ear infection exam. I can't trust a vet that tries to gouge money out of my dog on my first visit. The Dr. and staff are friendly, so I had high expectations that they would care for my dog; however, after my exam, they gave me a bill that included miscellaneous pills and treatments that I never even asked for. $188 for a urine and blood tests and fecal inspection that my dog didn't even need (he has had this done in past medical history). $125 for random supplements I've never heard of. Unnecessary ear medication and treatments that totaled $100. I went to AAA animal hospital instead where I paid $100 for exactly what I asked for, and promptly cured my dog's ear infection. If you come here, carefully scrutinize your bill and question every thing they try to charge you. Read Less

My Muggy had a bad allergic reaction to a flea bite. We are new to the area so after reading the reviews I made an appointment with Dr. Lewis at Huntington Beach Pet Hospital. Dr. Lewis was great and put Muggy on a steroid routine that was not overly aggressive and accounted for her very small size. I have been to several vets and this one is definetly one of the best. Read Less

Went here for the 1st time with a 10 year old Weimaraner. I wasn't happy with the vet care she was getting at our previous vet and the care they were giving her wasn't fixing the problems she was having, which was several. Our appointment was at 4 on a Friday afternoon. The staff here are extremely friendly from the moment you walk in the door. Dr. Lewis is very thorough with explaining his approach to how and why he is giving the treatment he is recommending for your animal. He wasn't in a rush and extremely patient. Labs were taken and I expected results to be in later in the week since it was Friday evening and then the weekend. Needless to say I received a phone call from Dr. Lewis himself the next day on a Saturday going over all the lab results that were taken and as to what approaches we needed to altar or add to. I'm very pleased with everyone in this office and the friendly care given by all. Thank you Dr. Lewis and staff. Read Less

I'm not going to lie... I think I'm taking my animals to Dr. Doolittle :)Dr. Lewis absolutely loves animals and that is obvious from the start.  Not only that but he's extremely intelligent and only prescribes what the animal really needs.  He immediately pointed out that my last vet completely missed vaccinating my cat for feline leukemia (which really made me shocked and angry) and with my mom's 12 year old lab mix got her on a NSAID that made her behave like she was years younger.  It's great to see her not hurt as much.  The staff in the office is always friendly and helpful, so it's definitely a great place to take your animals!

We recently adopted a King Charles Spaniel puppy and decided to try a new Veterinarian and chose HB Pet Hospital. This was our second time here and I wanted to wait before writing a review until we have been there twice.The office is staffed with friendly and competent workers. They seem to genuinely care for the pets and show it. Dr Lewis is very good with our dog and is very knowledgeable with all aspects of treatment and preventative medicine.The waiting room is spacious and pet friendly. The exam rooms are a tad small, but works out fine for us. Our overall experience is positive and I would recommend  HB Pet Hospital to anyone that needs a veterinarian for their pet. Read Less

I think Dr. Lewis' response speaks for itself. Fortunately, you can benefit from my experience. Is this the sort of vet you want taking care of your animals? The information below regarding micro chipping animals was taken from American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) website: "Implanting a microchip is quick, easy, and painless. Your veterinarian will inject the microchip under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. The injection is performed with a hypodermic needle that is slightly larger than those used for vaccinations. No anesthesia is required, though animals that are already anesthetized for procedures such as a neuter or spay might be microchipped at the same time."aaha.org/pet_owner/pet_h…As for anesthesia & my cats' temperament, keep in mind that Dr. Lewis never handled him-he looked at him for 20 sec while inside his carrier. My cats behavior was nothing out of the ordinary. Regardless, the risk of anesthesia was not reasonable for vaccination & microchipping. More info on risks: avma.org/public/PetCare/… and now.tufts.edu/articles/p… I also question Dr. Lewis' integrity. In his response below #2 he says he suggested blood/urine tests. This is not true. The procedure plan I was shown had 3 vaccines & the microchip. Two of the vaccines were not needed at that time - one was listed at $180 - & I was never asked for his vaccination history or records. For migrating pets to Australia, the USDA website is not useful for navigating this process. The Australian gov. provides a step-by-step process: agriculture.gov.au/cats-…. There are services that charge to oversee these steps, they are not necessary.I do not recommend Dr. Lewis or the Huntington Beach Pet Hospital for cat owners. I am one of 3 people who have posted on yelp about Dr. Lewis not handling felines well.------------I took my cat in to see Dr. Lewis for a microchip & a rabies vaccination. I mentioned that at some point my cat may be travelling to Australia & that I wanted to make sure the chip & vaccination met the migration requirements outlined by the Australian government. I had all of the information with me, & I also explained that I was familiar with the steps of the process. To begin with, my cat was clearly a little stressed - nothing beyond the ordinary, occasional soft growling & hissing. I was able to keep my h& in the carrier & pet him even when the vet tech & Dr. Lewis were present. He was in no way overtly aggressive, e.g., lunging & swatting etc. Nevertheless, Dr Lewis insisted on sedating my cat, saying that he may use either an injection (of what I am guessing would be Propfol) or gas. Never mind the potential risks associated with sedation & anesthetics, & never mind any pre-anesthetic blood screening.  At one point, I suggested that I hold the cat during the procedure, & he was more concerned with "litigation" then giving my cat sedative or an anesthetic for something as benign as a vaccination & microchip. From this disappointing & concerning start, Dr. Lewis then went on about how difficult it is to bring cats to Australia - even after I explained AGAIN that I was familiar with the process outlined by the Australian government (Dept. of Ag. & Water Resources). Nevertheless, he insisting that he needed to check the USDA website & left the exam room. Never mind that the USDA has nothing to do with exporting pets to Australia - in fact the USDA website refers people to the Australian government website. After waiting about 10-15 minutes, I stepped out & asked one of the vet techs to mention to Dr. Lewis that I had all of the necessary information & that I could show it to him. I then over heard him saying to the tech that he goes by the USDA website & that what's important. For anyone who wants to make sure their cat or dog isn't destroyed at the border... don't go here -- because clearly Dr. Lewis has no concept of the sovereignty of other countries outside of the US.  Along the same line, I asked several times if the microchip they had could be read by an Avid, Trovan, Destron or other ISO compatible readers, & the vet tech kept telling me that they used "PETrac", which is a animal recovery network. That doesn't necessarily mean that the chip can be read on any of the above readers - although, to be fair, in all likelihood it could.Finally, at least 10 minutes later, a new vet tech came into the room with a list of $330 worth of treatments, of which the most of expensive were not necessary, or if appropriate, recommended for this early stage of exportation process. Dr. Lewis also refused to allow me to be with my cat during the procedure - I guess to a certain extent this is understandable - I've never been asked to sedate my cat for such a straightforward procedure.

We took our 12 year old dog for a check-up because her eyes had been red for a while...Dr Lewis and the rest of the staff were friendly and professional! My dog tends to get aggressive when she is being examined or when she is in uncomfortable situations (like going to the vet ). Dr Lewis was understanding and super friendly with her. Her eyes look so much better with the medication they gave her, so we'll definitely keep bringing her here Read Less

Dr. Andrew Lewis and staff are caring, thoughtful and efficient. My friends suggested I switch to Dr Lewis and staff. At the other vet, my 2 dogs were nervous, shaking, unsettled at all times. At Dr. Lewis's business, my dogs started out shaking and then stopped shaking. The dogs even sat down calmly and the dogs left calmly after their procedures were finished. Read Less

Dr. Lewis and team are amazing. We moved down from the Southbay and looked for the right doctor for our cat because of her health issues. It took four visits to four different places. We chose Dr Lewis because he is really knowledgable, thinks outside the box and he wants to fix the issue at the root cause not symptoms.  We're grateful for the team there. Read Less

My little boy, who was put to sleep at this office, and I were not regular patients. He had another vet who I quite didn't trust anymore but that's unrelated for this review. This review is mainly for how they treated him and me during the hardest time of my life. Amanda couldn't be more of a compassionate and sweet vet assistant. My little guy doesn't like anyone at a vet's office but he managed to wag his tail and even kissed her during his last moment. She said she'd be there every step of the way and she was. Thank you, Amanda!As for Dr. Lewis, he briefly talked to me about things related to euthanasia and hospice care and expressed his opinions about those. He did not physically examine my dog and I wonder whether it has to do with the free exam deal since I was a new patient. Nonetheless, it's hard to think back about that day since it's still so recent but I'm glad to have come here and help my dog cross that rainbow bridge. Also, thank you for the personalized card with his printed paw! Read Less

Dr. Lewis was very professional and genuinely interested in the best possible solution to my dogs tooth issue. He was very good at communicating remedy options. I initially went in because of good reviews, and I plan on making them my dogs primary vet. Read Less

Words cannot even describe how happy I am with this place! They literally saved my puppies life. Doctor Lewis is very genuine and trustworthy. His whole staff is friendly and helpful. I won't be bringing my pup (Cooper) anywhere else ever. Read Less

Dr. Lewis and his staff were amazing! Our rescue girl is very skittish and they treated her so well... I really appreciate their patience and the time they spent getting to know her. I know she's in good hands in the future Read Less

I really hate to write a bad review about this vet as we have been coming here for about a year and have recommended many people here. One of my friends that I recommended to come here her puppy ended up needing surgery that didn't go so well. I apologized and thought maybe it was a misunderstanding. But this isn't why I am only giving one star. We brought our cat in with a suspected broken paw. Dr. Lewis took X-rays and confirmed it was indeed broken but said he couldn't cast or splint a cat so sent us home with nothing on our poor kitties paw and said he would consult with a surgeon and get back to us. It has officially been a week of us waiting with a cat with a broken paw limping around our house with nothing to protect it. We took him somewhere else and they did splint it and said our cat would more than likely heal with no problems. With in a day of him being in the splint he is back to his happy crazy self. I am very upset that after all the clients that I have referred here they can't even call me back when I have a cat with 3 broken bones in his paw!!! What am I supposed to do with him??? Leave him hopping around with nothing to protect it??? I spent nearly $400 in one visit and can't get a simple call to check in and suggest something to do with our cat. Just a yep its broken, Good luck!?!  We also had a simple neuter that didn't go well here. I thought at the time maybe it was just our luck and the crazy cat but after hearing the story that our friend went through here and their lack of concern over our latest with our cat I am left wondering if they really care about our animals or our money... Sadly we will be taking our animals and referrals somewhere else. Read Less

Dr.Lewis is the best. We came here because our precious cat Pookie had an infection. Very attentive staff and not bustling busy like other veterinarians around town. She was diagnosed quickly and prescribed antibiotics which brought her back to being her happy sweet self. Dependable staff, thanks again Dr. Lewis! Read Less

I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis to anyone that is looking for an extremely qualified Veterinarian to take care of your beloved pet. Dr. Lewis performed surgery on my Shetland Sheepdog, Sophia, and the results were fabulous! The Dr. Lewis and his staff are extremely kind, considerate, patient, and helpful every time I called to ask questions about her post-operative care. Thank you, Dr. Lewis, for saving Sophia's life! Read Less

Dr. Lewis was great. He thoroughly explained the test results and gave great examples to better understand the medical concept he was explaining. He also diagnosed my Dog with an ear infection that was overlooked by another vet my dog was being seen by. I will continue taking my Dog to Dr. Lewis. The staff was great too and made me feel comfortable. Read Less

After moving to HB, I noticed that my cat, who was quite old, was suddenly not feeling well. I hadn't established her at a new vet, so I chose Huntington Beach Pet Hospital based on its location and reviews. They were able to get me in right away to do blood work.Dr. Lewis called me early the next day with the results. Based on her age and condition, it was his recommendation that I bring my cat in and put her to sleep. As terrible and heartbreaking as the process was, Dr. Lewis and his staff were incredibly caring and professional.Although I have only ever written one other Yelp review in my life, I wanted to especially recognize Dr. Lewis and his team today. Today I received a card with Jasmine's paw prints and a personal note from the doctor and each of his staff members. It was such a thoughtful touch after such a sad experience. That kind of care sets a business apart. Although I currently do not have a pet, I would certainly return to this animal hospital if I decided to get another one in the future. Read Less

I love this vet...I will never go anywhere else. They have helped me with end of life treatment and consult with both my dogs. I would recommend them to anyone! They deliver top notch treatment and a loving environment for animals. Read Less

Professional, considerate, and knowledgeable.  Prices are reasonable, and the doctor is someone I respect for his honest, frank nature.My dog is my family, and Ill drive here from hours away if need be for top notch care.  Thank you, Doctor Lewis and staff. Read Less

Dr. Lewis and his staff are extremely caring. I came upon them on not the best circumstances for my dog and Dr. Lewis has treated us with compassion and being very thorough with his prognosis for our pet. Read Less

I love this vet! Seriously. I was fed up with my old vet. They failed to properly diagnose a problem my dog had, and their lack of understanding that what was complained about was getting worse was really not helpful so I set out to find someone who wouldn't just waive off what was going on with my dog.Dr. Lewis knew we had an issue from the moment he looked at my dog. She had to have a digit amputated. She might have had to regardless of whether the diagnosis was accurate in the first place, but had I taken her to Dr. Lewis first, she wouldn't have had to deal with the discomfort as long.Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also compassionate and caring. He personally calls you with results and to check up on your animal which is unusual in my experience.  His staff are amazing too!Even though he's quite a bit farther from me than my old vet, he's every bit worth the drive. I'll never take either of my dogs any where else. Read Less

I am a registered nurse. I took my puppy to hbph . the staff are very nice and knowledgeable. The Dr. Is amazing and gives more attention to you and your pet than any other vet that I've seen. I highly recommend this kind and professional team. Read Less

We really appreciated all the employees in the office. They were helpful and really honest. Our dog is extremely overweight and now he is on a diet. I hope it works! We will go back to this office because it is obvious that they care about the animals they serve. Read Less

Thank you to Dr. Lewis and his staff for doing a remarkable job with my precious cat, Molly. When I brought her in Dr. Lewis said she was severely impacted. He and his technicians gave Molly an enema and after taking x-rays a second time, Dr. Lewis said she is doing fantastic. I am very grateful for the wonderful care they gave Molly. Read Less

I've never been to a vet before.... like ever. I got my first puppy a few days ago and she needed her exam to make sure she is all ready to go. I found Huntington Beach Pet Hospital on yelp with a ton of positive reviews and I decided to give it a try. We had a 3 o clock appointment on a Monday and were determined to get there on time. However, in true Jesi fashion, we were running over 10 minutes late. This didn't seem to be a problem because we were able to check in right away. My first feeling is that vet/pet hospital is kinda sad ... :( People are walking in with sad faces because of sick pets etc, it hurts my heart.  However, I was here on a positive note. The staff at the front desk was super friendly and very fun. Charlotte sat quietly as I struggled to fill out the form... I guess I was kinda nervous. Once we were checked in, I spoke with the vet tech and she was really fun. She was really helpful with answering the basic questions that  I had as a new pet owner. She let me know that the doctor would follow up with any other questions I had. Charlotte had no problem with the vet tech, she was very friendly with the vet tech (good sign!). Dr. Lewis came in and Charlotte, of course, decided it was nap time. This kind of worked out well for us because we had a chance to discuss everything with Dr. Lewis without her interrupting. We had to wake her up so Dr. Lewis could do his inspections and she was pretty okay with this. This check up portion made me laugh so hard. I had never met a vet before and this was a great first meeting. I had a blast! My favorite part of the visit is that Dr. Lewis nor the vet techs were trying to sell me anything or try to upsell me into more expensive products. Dr. Lewis even told me what to do to avoid having to see him. These are great qualities of this office and I hope it stays that way! Read Less

Let me begin by saying that Dr Lewis and his staff are all VERY friendly -- this review has nothing to do with how I've been treated by the doctor and staff. This review ONLY pertains to the perspective of a cat owner, not canines. This review is based on the fact that I took my cat here a few times to treat her eye, she's been put on multiple medications with no improvement. It got very expensive, which is crucial to me because I am a full time student and employee and cutting corners to afford health care for my pet can be a challenge. I felt like I was being charged for things that were not even necessary. After a few months of bringing her to HBPH, I took my cat to another vet and she was put on another treatment, which immediately showed improvement and now she is fully healed. I suspect that this hospital does not really have expertise in felines, especially because there is only one doctor in this hospital. If you're thinking about taking your feline here for a medical issue, I'd consider taking her somewhere else if you're tight on your budget. Otherwise, I've had a great experience with customer service -- it's just unfortunate that I could not receive the correct treatment for my cat and as a result I feel as though I have wasted money.

Dr. Lewis was really great. Our frenchie was having some skins issues that wouldn't go away so we brought him to Dr. Lewis because the site mentions he specialized in dermatology. After 3 days the pup is cleared up and hasn't itched once! Pricing is very reasonable as well. Luther will keep seeing him. Read Less

We had a great experience bringing our sick kitty MOJO in to see this doctor. MOJO had been very sick, and this doctor switched his diet and helped him get well quickly for our move. I would recommend this veterinarian to everyone. Read Less

I would give this office and every aspect of it (staff, ease of scheduling, cost, service, professionalism, comfort level and of course- the Doctor) more than 5 stars if I could. I've had my dog for 9 years, lived in multiple states, dealt with many veterinarians and this is the first time that the vet actually tried to calm my dog down while examining her. And I'm not just talking about a little pet here and there and then rushing through the exam- but actively trying to make her relax like a normal pet owner. Dr. Lewis answered any and all questions I had about my dog's conditions and gave me realistic expectations for all upcoming testing and procedures that my dog may need. It's refreshing to finally have found a veterinarian who you can tell has a an actual passion for his clients' well being (both human and animal) and whose explanations and personality illustrate his clinical knowledge and skills. It makes me very confident that my dog has finally found the right veterinarian to take excellent care of her. Read Less

We brought our dog Ubu in here for the first time last week. He wasn't feeling well and I wanted to make sure he was okay. The vet we had used in the past wasn't making us feel comfortable anymore and didn't spend time with us explaining things. Ubu is our baby and he deserves better than that. I found HBPH on Yelp and made an appointment for the same day. The staff was kind and welcoming and the Dr was fabulous. He spent so much time with us understanding the situation. He made sure we understood our options, the diagnosis, and helped us make a game plan. We started treating a skin allergy and I am happy to say our dog is back to being his old self. We are so happy to have found this place and will be returning in the future. Read Less

My two Standard Poodles, Jack and Rocco, love Dr. Lewis and his staff. You can tell that they really care about the animals.

Took my dog to Dr. Lewis for a 2nd opinion on a cyst plus my dog's allergies and itchiness, it turns out it was a bad ear infection that caused him to nearly scratch off the cyst!

After having gone to the same vet for over 20 years then having him retire and leave his practice, I've been looking for a new place to take my three cats for quite a while now. I tried a couple different ones, but they lacked the warm, comfortable environment that I had experienced for so many years. When one of my cats needed medical care, I decided to try Huntington Beach Pet Hospital, and I'm so glad that I did. Dr. Lewis is really great and I felt that he genuinely cared about my cat, taking time with him to make him feel comfortable and taking time with me to explain what was going on and where we go from here. His entire staff went out of their way to explain everything and they, too, were extremely caring and helpful. Dr. Lewis called the next morning with the lab results and wants me to follow up in a few days to let him know how Boomer is doing. I will without a doubt be returning to Huntington Beach Pet Hospital. I think that we've finally found our new "home"! Read Less

We knew our baby had a problem and were not getting a satisfactory diagnosis and treatment from our Vet's office, On a recommendation for Second Chance Pet Adoptions we went to see a new veterinarian who just taken over the office at Magnolia and Adams 6 months ago. Doctor Lewis is a U.C. Davis Graduate and has excellent bedside manners. First of all, thank you so much for saving our baby. The other Doctor didn't seem to know what was going on and just wanted us to spend money for more tests. Upon meeting him he really cared for Milo and examined him. He diagnosed a possible blockage in his digestive tract and explained the options in ENGLISH, not Doctorese. We felt that he had the situation under control and followed his recommended treatment for Milo. He and his staff handled Milo with such care and compassion that we have never had experienced at any other veterinary office. To give you an example of how well he and his staff treated Milo, when it can time to remove his staples, Milo was actually happy to go to Dr. Lewis' office. With the other vets we have used he was always shaking and shivering because he was scared. Not with Doctor Lewis. Needless to say, we have a new Vet and will start bringing our other babies to see when the time comes. We whole heartedly recommend Huntington Beach Pet Hospital for all of your babies needs!

Amazing care from truly dedicated professionals. I just recently relocated to Huntington Beach and needed to take my dog for an emergency vet visit for a bad-looking skin problem she had developed during our drive across the country. Being completely new to the area, I took a gamble and tried the clinic nearest my house, which I later learned has recently been taken over by a relatively young, Davis-trained vet. Lucky gamble! Dr. Lewis was highly competent, professional, compassionate and took the time to discuss my dog's diagnosis and care options with me. His staff provided excellent, efficient, and thorough follow-up care. Prices are reasonable especially considering level of service available. Will be using Dr. Lewis from now on and recommend him highly! Read Less

Dr. Lewis and his staff are the BEST! My dogs are like my children and they get the best treatment at ACCHB! I always get an appt within 24 hours.

They treat us like family. Read Less

Just wanted share my immense gratitude for the work that is being done at the ACC of HB. I have used several vets in the OC area over the last few years as I have a diabetic kitty. Dr. Hill and Staff are amazing and so kind. Thank you for taking all the extra time to talk with me about my kitty and answer all my questions and most importantly making me feel that my furbaby is in very safe hands! Thank you so much!

I absolutely love this hospital. They are friendly, clean and actually return my calls and answer my questions. The staff knows their stuff and loves my kitty; even though he can be difficult for getting his blood taken ;-). Dr. Hill always spends a lot of time with me in the exam room and answers all my questions (I bring in lists on my iphone ;)) and loves on my kitty until he calms down. After his last dental he had one tooth extracted and you'd never even know it. He came home that night and ate and acted like nothing ever happened. They truly care about keeping my cat healthy and comfortable. I've referred 2 friends and 2 coworkers there in the past two years. That's how much I trust them. Now just go try them. They have a free new client exam coupon on their website which is really nice too. Read Less
