Animal Medical Center Of Mission Viejo

This place is the best! I have had a sick kitty for a very long time, Dr. O’Neill was very patient, thoughtful and thorough. She offered me a menu of options and allowed me to choose what fit in my budget. One week later my kitten is well. I am so grateful to Dr. O’Neill and Animal Medical Center Mission Viejo and highly recommend them to anyone needing to find vet care for their pets. Read Less

Very impressive staff. Their attention to detail is superb. My dog had his teeth cleaned and two teeth removed. They called me several times during the day of surgery and afterwards advising me of his status. I appreciated the follow up. Read Less

This is a great vet! We take our labs here because one of them is very fearful, and he feels most comfortable here. They have very fair pricing, are always friendly, and provide great care. Highly recommend ! Read Less

At 4:15pm on a Monday, I called the Animal Medical Center of Mission Viejo for an energency (this location is our usual vet). My dog’s eye had prolapsed (popped out). They told us that since they were about to close, we should go to Urgent Care. They did give me the number. However, once called, it turned out that the Urgent Care facility did not open until 6:00pm—almost 2 hours after we called. We were advised that my dog needed to be seen right away by the Urgent Care facility. The AMC would not even see my dog even though they were not closed. We ended up having to take her to another emergency center in San JuanCapistrano. Needless to say, we will be changing vets. Read Less

Great prices, great staff, and you can trust them with your pet!! They are always caring and have quick service. This is the only vet I will go to. If I move to Kansas, I will still drive all the way to Mission Viejo for my dog (Wesley) to meet with this vet. Thats how much I reccomend this place. Wesley- Pug Thomas C Read Less

Wonderful! My dear dog of 12 years had surgery to remove a sore/growth, this was her second surgery for the same area. The first surgery never healed well this time she healed so quickly. It was a big surgery plus she had three teeth removed and teeth cleaned. Excellent care and great results. This is our vet from now on. They also go over the bill with you and explain all charges and choices ahead of time and don't pressure you at all. I feel they are honest, fair and give great care. Thank you. Read Less

We've been taking our furbabies here for years. The doctors and their support staff are truly amazing. They treat our girls like their own. I would never take them anywhere else. They help me over the telephone and will make every effort to see me on short notice if I feel the need. Not once have they not responsed to any questions I have and there are times I have called often. Read Less

we found this vet when our elder dog had blood in the urine for few weeks, we took our dog to three specialists in Irvine, noone could not find the problem, some doctors just tried to give my dog a surgery for nothing! but these doctors did!!!! and within a month my dog was completly cured by them.since then we kept coming back to this vet many many many times till my dog was expired from a tragic accident.these ppl are hard working, caring and lower cost than any vet we have been.we really want to say thank you for everyone who treated my dog Vivi so sweet everytime.

Great place to take your pet. They take such good care of our little dog. They are so gentle and loving and you can tell that they really care for the pets they treat. We really like that they have drop-in hours for shots, which is so convenient with our busy schedule. We trust them with our 'baby'. Read Less

We are fortunate that our furry best friend, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, is in good health. His wellness care, though, has been outstanding at the Animal Medical Center. He did have a broken tooth that needed extraction, now that I think about it and he came through that in great shape. They are professional, friendly and obviously enjoy caring for our pets.

Have been going here for the last 3 years and am always very happy with our visit. They love our dogs and our dogs love them! Our boxer recently had a large growth on the top of his head removed and they did an amazing job for a tricky surgery. Always very informative but not pushy! Thanks Dr Redlinger... Read Less

AMAZING I Have been going to the animal medical center for 12 years. Dr. Singh is not only kind he is genius, saving not one but two of my pets lives. I must say there is absolutely no other vet I would trust with my kidos. Cheers to all the wonderful staff who always make us feel we are their only client!! Terra, Chantilly & Bella Read Less

I've been taking my puppy Pongo here since he was about 8 weeks old and I love the staff!! The location is great and their prices are even better! I bought my pup the puppy plan (which included all his shots) and I brought my pup in to get fixed. No issues at all! Read Less

Small veterinary clinic located on La Paz Rd, inside a small shopping plaza. Parking is available via the plaza parking lot, although finding a spot can be tough on weekends. They are open 7 days a week.Brought one of our rescue dogs here on their 'low-cost' vaccination day. It may be 'low-cost', but their prices are actually higher than at other low-cost clinics. The hospital was empty, but service was still slow, inattentive, and impersonal. I also didn't like the fact that they took my dog to the back for her vaccination, instead of allowing me to hold her, like at other clinics. I didn't even see the veterinarian on-site.Wasn't blown away by their prices or service. Read Less

I have been going to Animal Medical Center for the last 2 years after being disappointed by multiple other vets in the area. This is the first place I have come where I feel the staff are genuinely concerned about your pet and not just about making money. Dr. Singh is caring and compassionate - he performed surgery on my dog after she was attacked by our neighbor's German Shepherd and even called to see how she was doing in the following weeks. The staff (especially Jill) are friendly, helpful and explain everything in detail - including which options are the most cost-effective for your pet's needs. I love Animal Medical Center and will continue referring my friends and family here! Read Less

I am so disappointed in how this place has changed. I've been taking my dog here now for the past 10 years since he was a puppy. They used to have such friendly staff that really cared for your pet as if it was their own. But now the staff has completely changed. There is one particular girl named SARAH that works at the front desk. It was the animal hospitals worse decision to put a rude, irritable, unkind person as the first person you meet when you walk in. She was very impatient and had the biggest attitude. This is no coincidence as this is the same person everybody is complaining about, a particular brunette in the front. As far as Dr. Redlinger, she shouldn't be working with animals as she has no heart or sensitivity to the situations that might be happening to your pet. Do yourself a favor and take your pets somewhere else, you don't need to ruin you and your pets day with such rude staff. Your pet needs the best care, love, and attention. Unfortunately we will not be getting it from this place any longer... Read Less

One of the worst Vets ever and here's why:  My pup had very low T3, so low that he could have had a seizure.  3 messages for 2 months with very rude office staff except for Jill.  No call back. No concerns.No follow up because I don't think they even reviewed the labs or most likely didn't know how to interpret and provide treatment.   Dr. Redlinger doesn't know how to talk to clients let alone take care of animals.  She was rude, condescending, judgmental and only wanted to push for more tests and get$$.  Neither Dr. Sing nor Redlinger bothered to explain the low thyroid and ignored my calls for explanation and most important, treatment.  But she was not happy when I declined further tests.  She is not up on hew diagnostics nor treatments.  Horrible people and a horrible experience.    We go to Dr. Bridge at Dana Capistrano Animal Clinic.  He is the best because he listens and is very knowledgeable.  straightforward, direct and easy to talk with.  Pup is finally recovering and my cost was 1/3 less then what Redlinger charged! Read Less

This is a good place to go for low cost immunizations.  I went in two weekends in a row.  Unfortunately there is one brunette gal in the front office who was incredibly rude to me both times.  She told me my dog did not need a rabies immunization.  When I got home, I noticed that she was looking at the 'suggested next dose' and so I came back again the following weekend.  Again, she was incredibly rude, disorganized and unprofessional to me.  I decided to leave and find another place to get my dogs immunized.  It's unfortunate, because the location is good for me.  The office is clean.  My suggestion to the clinic:  fire people who are not customer-service oriented and friendly.  This gal was not just having a bad day, she's just rude.  Both times.  Otherwise, would be a nice place to go.  I think I'll go to PetSmart moving forward.

Friendly staff, fair prices and clean office. Looked at multiple vets to neuter my Yorkie, and this vet was local and the Yelp reviews very good, so I gave it a try. Very happy all around and will use them as my main vet now! Read Less

This clinic is very unprofessional. Worst service ever. All about making money and no interest about caring for your animals. Its animal clinics like this one that should not be allowed to be in business only caring for the $$$$$$ Read Less

I am so thankful for my friend Tanya for referring me to Animal Medial Center & Spay/Neuter Clinic for my dog Winnie. This is the best team of animal lovers, and I know my dog is always in good hands. They are caring, attentive, and affordable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

Great Vet, great staff.  My dog needed eye surgery.  Our vet had retired.  Dr. Redlinger was the 4th vet out of 5 that I had seen.  Yes I know a little extreme.  Dr. Redlinger is so good down to earth.  She didn't pressure me into anything my dog did not need.  I was not looking for the cheapest vet.  I was looking for someone that was respectful to me as well as my dog.  I went to several places they want to do unnecessary things to charge you more.  Lexy came out of surgery called me said she was fine.  The cost of the surgery was the quote they gave me.  They are just real honest. and kind vet, and staff.  This will be Lexys, Roxys, Sammys and Izzys new vet.  Thank you all for everything.

Great staff and great vets! The place is clean and they never make you wait. They have reasonably priced shots and have the best flee prevention medicines. Our dogs are not anxious with the staff when we bring them in for check up, always a good sign! Read Less

We found out that our bunny is actually a GIRL! Took HER to her first vet exam today and Dr. Dhanoa from Mission Viejo's Animal Medical Center concluded that I have another little princess!! Great staff super friendly and knowledgable!! High recommend to others!! Read Less

Everyone knows that our pets are like children to us and my little Kya is no exception. Kya is a 2 year old Rott and we have had her since she was a puppy. Our last dog Lou Lou who lived to be 12 died of bone cancer. In all my research I decided to let Kya come into heat once to help her bones and cartilage develop. And of course a 2nd heat snuck up on us. With both heat cycles she developed false pregnancies which were very hard on her. Having lost a dog to a spay as a child I had a lot of anxiety about getting her spayed which also contributed to my delay in doing so. What I didnt know is that the older they become and the more heat cycles the more difficult the spay. Dr Redlinger was our vet and she did a amazing job with Kya,. The surgery was extremely difficult and lasted over an hour. My recommendation is to spay early and if you want a caring experienced vet to do the job please contact Dr Redlinger. The entire staff was caring and attentive! Five plus stars! Read Less

I brought my small dog who had just a small infected cut and the vet insisted that he needed steroids. The steroids have given my dog diabetes and now he loses more and more weight every month and will never be the same. NEVER bring your animal to this clinic. Read Less

I had to recently put my dog down and my vet was too far away to drive there. My friend referred me to them. She said they very wonderful and even came to her house to put her dog down. They were very nice and comforting during this traumatic event the whole family had to go through. They gave us all the options and the prices up front for all the medical procedures. They did not rush us. They were accurate when they told us the ashes would be ready to pick up the following Friday.  They were prompt in calling me and I didn't have to call to ask about them. I would recommend using the peaceful paws company they use for their cremation services. They take great care with your pet and you get wonderful keepsakes from your beloved pet. A week or so later after putting our dog down we got a lovely card from them that had a special note written by each staff member. It was very nice and thoughtful especially since that was the first time ever going to them! Great customer service! Read Less

The staff here was so helpful when I called in a panic about my dog's erratic behavior while we were out of town. The doctor we saw gave a thorough exam, but didn't recommend any unnecessary, expensive testing (which we greatly appreciated). Our dog is fine and just had some anxiety since we had just recently moved. The staff couldn't have been nicer and we will look forward to coming back. Read Less

Not the worst, not the best. I bought my 8-week old puppy and brought her in same day for the an overall exam under the pup plan. Mind you, I had previously called a week prior or so to make this appointment and confirmed that it wouldn't be a problem to do this exam and initial shots, etc. after driving 3 hours north from where we got her. Upon arrival, Dr. Dhanoa said that we probably shouldn't give her the shots because of the drive... Okay, I live far away, so I asked we please do them. She was a big puppy so I doubted she'd get sick. And she was fine.He also urged several times we get her back dew claws removed because the family we bought her from couldn't stomach the thought of cutting them off themselves. That's fine on both of their parts, but he made us feel bad about it like it was our choice. And since we have a shared yard with our neighbors with dogs, he said to absolutely not let her outside until she got all of her distemper shots plus a month on top of that....Anyways, they said they would call me within 2 days for the fecal results but I didn't hear anything so I called on the third day. Not thinking anything of it (because silence is usually a good thing), they surprisingly told me that "she came back positive for a few things"... uh what? I asked to talk to the vet and they said he was very busy, probably wouldn't call back until tomorrow. I am biting my fingernails hoping he will call and tell me what's up. I finally hear from him and he says she has roundworm and that she needs medication right away. This was at 4:30pm in the middle of the week, I work in Long Beach and I didn't get off for another hour. I had to zip down there and get it before 7pm. If it was so urgent, you'd think he would've actually called himself, you know, with some sort of sense of urgency. I asked if I could get dewormer for my cat, too, since I had no idea for the past few days (I even thought I had it at once point, they're super contagious) and they tried to say they really shouldn't but agreed to finally after I said that the doctor insisted I keep the puppy inside and had had accidents all over the house already.A few months later, my pup was having digestive problems and I spent over $200 running tests that proved nothing. I thought it was bacterial from being in the ocean, but come to find out that the $65 I spent on an upgraded fecal test didn't even test for bacteria. Ended up fixing the problem by going to the local Pet Supply down the road who offered solutions the vet never did. Long story short: Vet techs and front desk are very nice and helpful, but I found another vet. Read Less

Very nice caring staff. I have been taking my two dogs to The Animal Medical Center since they were puppies. The doctors are excellent and the staff is very warm and friendly. When my dog passed away recently the staff was so considerate and caring. They sent me a beautiful card in memory of my dog. I will continue taking my other dog to them and any other pets I get.

It was a pleasure to visit Animal Medical Center with my new puppy Mocha. I got her from the shelter. The staff at Animal Medical Center was very curteous, loving and knowledgeable. They helped me find the best diet for her. Dr Singh was very patience and answered all my questions. I am so happy I found them. Above all Mocha loves the place as she gets pampered by Eaja....the groomer every month. The office is very clean and well organized and the pricing for services was very reasonable. Read Less
