Hands down "Monarch Veterinary hospital is the best Veterinarians Practice in Orange County" Its not just in the conversation, it is a place where you can expect to have good conversation because the staff the veterinary text and assistance and the doctors are all very very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and have absolutely no agendas. no one has tried to sell me cat food or tell me that my cat needed to see a whisperer which I have to say, in today's day and age, is kind of surprising in a good way. Today was my cat's 2nd follow up visit in about 6 weeks to check in on the status of what had been a real problematic yeast infection in his ears, one that had been causing excessive itching and unfortunately scarred canals. I am beating myself up about not getting a second opinion sooner, but I am delighted to see just how much his condition has improved, its gone. Im sincerely thankful for the care Romeo has received. I would like to try and explain one very important reason that this practice differs from other practices. I want to also reiterate just how good the customer service is here everyone here seems to be college educated and very professional, not wasting anyone's time it was absolutely no waiting or delays it's and it's not because there's a lack of clientele they're just very very efficient and I never felt like they didn't take enough time or rush me or anything like that. I think that the staff is very well paid which brings me to the next point which is there was diversity amongst the staff and even though it is a traditional Veterinary practice, certain aspects were cutting edge. Orange County is notorious for being a place where people will seek the latest and greatest health or beauty treatments, right?...whether that means stem cells for their collagen production or IV vitamin drips for their hormone levels, OC has developed a reputation of being a place that offers extensive cutting Edge medical care. there was I felt one example of outside the box thinking which is really what I want from my doctors no matter what their practicing. our knowledge base is constantly changing and growing and the fact that a veterinarian who's been practicing for 40 years knows how to stay current is really impressive. In this case, both Dr. Alcala and Dr. Craft demonstrated to me that their techniques and recommendations were very modern indeed. Dr. Craft knew that a certain medication, which was primarily used for canines, would likely have superior results on my Cat. The recommendation for thosebmedicated ear drops worked so well in fact that was thrilled to see just how quickly my cat's condition improved and to what extent. Now, the Doctors did not necessarily come right out and say that this was primarily a canine medication, because as a new patient they could not be surehow I might react, or frankly whether or not I was an Internet know-it-all... there to question their choices, while reciting back some internet post from the one person who may not have had the same result. Haha. Thank god for this office and the doctor's here and really everywhere that have to put up with people that get their doctorates from the Google School of medicine. I truly appreciated this, because it proves their practice is what continues to teach them what works best and not just a book from 1982 or worse a rep for some pet chemical company... and that's how I know they are genuine at heart, and are both very deserving of both their titles and status. Meow meow meow Thank you Again meow meow. and.. that was from Romeo. Read Less

My husband and I utilized Monarch Vets for 13 years until we moved to Portland Oregon in October. We considered Monarch Veterinary Clinic the "PPO" of the dog world. Monarch gave Rug incredible personal service and they had such a caring demeanor. We may never find another vet who can measure up to Dr. Craft, Noah and the staff. Monarch really took the time to get to know Rug from the time she a puppy up to old age. Monarchs had better medical records on Rug than me and my husband's primary care physicians. I am so thankful that we found Monarch Read Less
