I had to take my French bulldog to the vet for some skin issues and upset stomach issues.  We have been here before and have been pretty happy with them.   This visit we got to see Dr. Simon for the first time.  (They have a few doctors)   He was very informative, gave us lots of options and never pushy about things.   I feel he is very honest and I trust him with my frenchie.   Rascal (our frenchie)   Is already doing better and seems to have responded to the shot he got for his skin and the meds.   We are really happy with the service and would highly recommend them to others.

Excellent all around, every detail covered to perfection!!!  Dr. Stephens did a very thorough examination of our fur baby (thank you), but from start to finish this place doesn't miss a beat.  Sue greeted us right away, upon arrival, and her recommendation to go directly to the exam room, so that my dog could be off leash, while I filled out new patient forms, was a nice touch.  She even brought a blanket in for our golden to sit on.Terri did our intake, gathering all information about some of the symptoms that were plaguing our dog, and gathered past health info as well, noting everything very detailed in the system, all the while being very personable.I've been to over a dozen vets, mostly due to moving from city to city, all up and down the coast, and this place, hands down, is the winner!  Thank you for being efficient!

We love Marina Hills Animal hospital and everyone who works there, with no exceptions! Thank you for always taking such loving care of Faye and Jepsen. We will always remember and treasure that you saved Faye's life as a puppy Read Less

Our sweet bulldog has been having a lot of seizures lately but dr Simon and all his staff are determined to get her well . We love these people like family now for taking care of our girl. One of the staff even drew a picture of Ivy and handed it to me when I came in, it melted me to know how well she is taken care of when I'm not there Read Less

Best veterinarian in south Orange County. They are above and beyond. The skill level of everybody here exceeds all other practices. Everybody is extremely educated and they always take the time to explain things properly whether it be in person for the first time or overthe phone when you didn't catch it all. They go above and beyond. I trust them with all four of my furry family's life. Read Less

Our Mochi crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday..... She was 11.5 years old and fought polyneuropathy for the past 2 years.....Her strong body became very weak but never her will....... The entire staff at Marina Hills Animal Hospital, along with Dr. Stephens and Dr. Simons, carried for our Mochi exceptionally whether with medical examinations and advice or simple grooming......Yesterday, we no exception. Thank you Marina Hills Animal Hospital.. So grateful for our Mochi..... Read Less

Our dog Louie was a patient of Dr. Stephens for many years. He had a variety of chronic conditions that were each addressed and managed with quality care and expertise. It is very clear Dr. Stephens and all of the staff care about their patients and owners. Highly recommended. Read Less

Cannot Recommend this incident happened a few years back but it's a situation that should never occur at any veterinary practice ever! What made this experience so awful was Dr. Tina Stephens trying to run up hundreds of dollars of tests on a puppy that she was told had Intra-Trac 3 vaccine 8 days earlier (this vaccine is for Adenovirous 2, Parainfluenza & Bordatella). The puppy was eating normally, and in fact, had a voracious appetite. Yet this vet wanted to do a$ 178.00 blood panel and $180.00 worth of x-rays and various and sundry other things adding up to $600!!! IMO, a good vet LISTENS to the information a client conveys in terms of symptoms, events and circumstances and proceeds to rule out things in order of probability. Treatment was declined because it seemed as inappropriate as Dr. Stephen's theatrics seemingly intended to frighten. The puppy in question was later taken to a veterinary practice on Laguna Canyon Rd, where the veterinarian determined she had "Kennel Cough" (Bordatella) from her recent intranasal vaccine. No hysterics, no fear tactics, just plain old excellent diagnostic skills ... Read Less

Everyone at Marina Hills veterinary hospital is top notch. This is the most caring group of people that you could ever care to meet. The doctors stopped at nothing short of miraculous to help our cat Monti recover. The staff was so loving to Monti and did everything within their power to make sure that Monti had the most excellent care possible. We will be forever grateful for all that they have done.

We had our dog Samson in today for shots and an exam. Dr Simon quickly identified a behavioral problem that we are having with our dog and gave us instructions on how to deal with it. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else! Read Less

I have been using Marina Hills Animal Hospital for over 4 years and although I recently lost my dog, I will continue to recommend them and, someday in the future when I adopt a new friend, use them again. Dr. Simon, Dr. Stephens and their staff are extremely knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. They always discussed all options available along with costs and potential outcomes so I could make the best decision for my dog. Taking your furry friend to the vet is nearly always stressful...this team makes it much easier with their friendly, calm and caring attitude...I cannot recommend they highly enough! Read Less

This hospital is fantastic! We moved to CA recently and had to find a new vet for our dog and 3 cats. I have been there twice, once for my dog's injured leg and once for a well visit for one of my cats, and I couldn't be happier. Super friendly staff, clean and welcoming atmosphere, and great service. At both visits, after consulting with the doctors, I received a breakdown of the recommended treatment and associated fees. Nothing was done until I gave consent to all treatment and charges, which makes for a pleasant check-out - no surprises when you get the bill! I highly recommend Marina Hills Hospital to anyone looking for a caring veterinarian's office. Read Less

The BEST in OC! We can't thank Dr. Simons, Dr. Stephens and Marina Hills Staff enough for their continuing compassion with and knowledge about animals, from small to large. We have total trust in their treatment of all of our dogs. Also 5 ***** technology, cleanliness and availability in emergencies! Read Less

I have always had pets, dogs and cats and by far this is the best place I have been to. They gave me a tour on my first visit there. I saw everything and it didn't smell like an animal hospital, ya know what I mean. The doctors and staff were very nice and I enjoyed my time there as well as my dog. He came out from the back with his tail wagging and a smile on his face. The girl who brought him up talked to me with words I can understand and explained when I would hear back from the doctor and made me feel right at home. The next day I recieved a call from the DOCTOR with my dogs blood results and he even answered a few more questions for me. I wish my doctor would be as efficent as these people are. Many thanks to the doctor and staff at Marina Hills! Read Less

To all Pet owners: Form your own opinions, but this is the appalling and unimaginable situation that happened to me. I am writing the following in hopes my story and the horrific, unbelievable situation that happened to my pet and I will provide you with information and insights that might save you and your pet from the heartache and injustice we went through. Additionally, to try and bring awareness to the public about the pet vaccines, particularly rabies, which are a political and economic scam being forced upon pet owners because they do not know the truth. Rabies, nationwide, is nowhere near the problem the veterinarians, media, politicians and bureaucrats would like you to believe. Imagine for a moment taking your pet, your beloved animal to your Veterinarian, because he/she is not feeling well. The same Veterinarian you have been taking your pet (s) to almost exclusively for approximately 6 years; the Veterinarian with whom you have come to trust with the care, concern and well-being for both you and your pet.?..ONLY TO find out the morning you are to pick him/her up, that your pet who was not feeling well, which you brought to him to care for, has instead been called in to animal control by one of the Veterinarian?s assisting Veterinary Technicians? who has falsely reported him/her to them saying that he/she has a fever and has ?been catching bats?. And, that because of her false report, your pet is being seized by animal control and will be quarantined for a mandatory period of at least 1 MONTH at a cost to you of $600.00, given you can provide proof of current rabies vaccination (that vaccination has been given within 1 year); or, if you are unable to provide current proof of rabies vaccination, that he/she will be quarantined for a period of 6 MONTHS at a cost to you in the amount of $3000.00! Add to this, that despite the fact this particular Veterinary Technician, (who coincidently has a husband that works for the Laguna Beach animal control) had given a false report to animal control, that it did not matter and that THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD DO ABOUT IT!!!!

I appreciate how kind and knowledgeable the staff is at this clinic. Dr. Simon took the time to explain to me in terms I could understand just where my dog stood health-wise. I am sure I chose the right treatment for him because he is fine now. I plan to continue to go to Marina Hills for my dog's care. Read Less

My dogs and I feel very well cared for at this animal hospital. Over the life of my several pets, Dr. Simon and his wonderful staff have monitored good health and given medical aid in their declining years. The technology available in the hospital allows timely diagnosis and staff is very prompt in reporting test results. Read Less

Dr. Clayton Simon is excellent. His staff is also very professional, sincere, honest and really know how to make you feel better when you are going through a rough time with your pets issues. I have been to several Pet Care Facility over the last 15 years and this one is the best one yet. I plan on doing business with them for the 15 years! Keep up the excellent work guys and gals!!I foster dogs for a local rescue and I am required to go to their doctors and care facility and they are no comparision to Marina Hills Animal Hospital. I am just thankful that I have Marina Hills Animal Hospital they are the best in Orange County. Read Less

This is the best Animal Hospital I have ever used! Everyone in the front staff is welcoming and friendly. Dr. Simon and Dr. Stephens are compassionate to my pet and show me the respect of explaining my pet's problems to me in a way that I can understand. They are honest, hardworking and even personally call me with laboratory results (ususally the day after I've been in.) I wish I could find a human doctor for myself that offers the excellent level of service that they provide at Marina Hills Animal Hospital! Read Less

I cannot say enough for how grateful I am for Dr. Simon and his staff. I have a 14 month old Yorkie who recently fell off the couch and landed on her leg incorrectly. I took her to my normal vet and they insisted on doing surgery, since she weighs less than 5 pounds I felt that a surgery would be too much for her to handle. I took her to Dr. Simon for a second opinion, he prescribed her an anti-inflammatory and strict confinement for 7 days. Within days she was feeling better and now, 1 month later her leg is back to normal. Needless to say, I have switched her vet to Dr. Simon indefinitely, even though it is a 25 mile commute from home. It is well worth the care and committment that this staff has for their animal friends. Read Less
