We have been going to Yolinda Animal Hospital for all of our dogs routine needs for the last 4 years, even for the last 2 after we moved to South Orange County. The staff is great and always very informative, I know our fur baby is in great hands. And the Veterinarian's are the absolute best!! They provide all the options for our dog so that we can make the best decision for him, and never do they put any pressure on us. We are lifers! Read Less

We've been clients for nearly 10 years, and have gone through the passing of 3 elderly pets, to the bringing home of a 10 week old puppy this past weekend. They always take the best care of both our pets AND us, giving us the support and reassurance we need as pet parents. And one of the best things is how I've never felt that they've tried to "upsell" me, they've only suggested what is necessary and have always respected what we wanted. Read Less

Our cat Starvin Marvin has decided on multiple occasions to pick fights with other cats in the neighborhood resulting in some fight wounds. They've managed to squeeze us in despite shirt notice. The doctors here are all really great and explain their thought process before recommending treatments and i feel they don't order unnecessary testing. The staff is always friendly and smiling. They just remodeled too so the clinic feels brand new. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a vet in OC. Read Less

This was my first time visiting the office with my cat. I was able to make a next day appointment, was seen on time, and appreciated the knowledge and friendliness of the staff. Overall a great experience! Read Less

Great Vetranaian Services. I love Dr Talcott because she is so calm and soft spoken. Not only does she put me at ease, but I think with her demeanor, she puts the animals at ease. Yolinda Animal Hospital has been my only veterinary service and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have always gotten an appointment right away and feel my kitties are getting the best possible care available. They always let me know what to expect as far as charges for service goes so there are no surprises later. This is a very professional, caring group of veterinary providers and I highly recommend their services. My 8 month old kitty was recently spayed and I was VERY pleased that I was given pain medication for her which would last for the next 5 days. A lot of vets wouldn't do that. I'm very impressed and pleased! Read Less

I've seen all of the doctors and they are all wonderful. But the past few visits have all been with Dr. Talcott. She is so kind and patient. I appreciate her calm demeanor and rational and practical means for treatment. I also appreciate Sunday hours! Read Less

I would like to thank the whole staff of Yolinda Animal Hospital for saving my fur baby's life yesterday. We got so lucky this hospital was still open, especially on a Sunday. As soon as we ran in, the staff immediately rushed to help my baby. I appreciated the staff also checking up on me, because I was wreak due to finding him unconscious and having to give him CPR. I thought I lost him. They checked his vitals and gave him oxygen. And ensured me he was alive and breathing. In no time they had me walk down the hall and call him name and he came speeding to me, had already spead to the door, ready to leave. Yolinda Animal Hospital you are the best!I believe everyone should know how to perform CPR for pets and humans. You never know when you'll come into a situations where you'll be able to potentially save a life. Read Less

This place is great! This is my second review and they are very friendly and very knowledgeable. There is absolutely no pressure to do any testing. They allow you to pick whatever you can afford and then go from there. Read Less

Such an awful experience.  Took my dog here in  2017  because she wasn't herself, lethargic and no appetite. Dog was so scared and pitiful.  Vet wouldn't run any tests and made me put a muzzle on her because he thought she was dangerous and had rabies, and he didn't want to be near her.  Hated the way they treated my poor dog.

Misdiagnosed for my cat!! Be careful about this place if you don't want your cat have fake "FELV" disease!! Totally scamming for us for this little poor kitty's first test. Doctor told us that the cat was completely healthy at beginning except some fleet issue, and then few minutes later it turns out that he has FELV positive. "It shows positive later", says the doctor. Me and my girlfriend was sooooo sad for this poor little kitten and my girl cried for the whole weekend. This little one almost died when my friend rescued him few days ago and now he's been targeted by the death again.. Until we did three times more text at other animal hospital on him and it all shows NEGATIVE and we finally realized that we have been totally fooled by them. I called on the next day for my cat's exam report and the front desk accidentally told me that my cat don't have FELV.. I can't believe my ear that they really lied to us. Only because I didn't want to buy the $299 combo for my cat's nail care and other useless stuff she promoted to us, I doubt that they just don't care about any of their patients life. Me and my girlfriend are all international students here in the U.S., and we have no idea how to prevent this shit happens again to anyone since I don't have a lawyer for myself, but please everyone, if you don't want this happen to your beloved furry friends, avoid this place, from all my heart. Now this little guy has became our family and we are so happy that life didn't gave up on him, and believe me, your furry friends deserves better than what they have been doing here at this place.

I will not take my dog anywhere else.  I found Yolinda Animal Hospital a few years ago after my dog needed to go to Urgent Care in the middle of the night.  My experience with Urgent Care was horrible and I walked out with a bill of $750 and my dog still needing more care.  I was so lucky to have found Yolinda Animal Hospital. It is very clear that all of the people who work here care about your pets.  I have never encountered someone who doesn't treat my dog as if she were their own.  There have been several "emergency" appointments where I have had to have my dog seen the same day and they have always accommodated.  It can be really scary when your pet is sick because they can't tell you what is wrong.  This veterinarian helps sooth your worries and you know your animal is in good hands.  I would recommend Yolinda Animal Hospital to anybody.

This place is amazing! My dog had torn both knee CCL'S where she needed surgery on both knees. The surgeon did a amazing job and she's now almost healed. I truly could not have asked for a better place to take my dog and thanks to Michelle who works there for the referral. They do accomodate as far as charges and are definitely affordable as far as vets go. There were time they didn't even charge for some services which is a true blessing. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for my dog. Read Less

I have been taking my pets to this office for the last 27 years. The Staff and Doctors are wonderful!! Was sad and a little worried when Dr Hoffacre retired (wasn't sure we would have the same great experience) I was pleasantly surprised. My pet has been seen by all 3 of the doctors, and we love each one of them!! The staff is friendly & helpful too!!! Read Less

Got my dog neutered here and I must say they did a amazing job. I have a difficult dog and he's not super friendly with people or other dogs but they were able to handle him and take great care of him. My dog Marley has healed great and is a happy dog. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

This review is long overdue.I have been coming to this vet for 4 years now and I have always been more than satisfied. The one time I wasn't satisfied was due to my own ignorance and I was inappropriately rude and short with the manager, Richard. Not only did he apologize when he didn't need to, he politely informed me why they had done what they did and offered his sincerest apology again right after.I have 3 expensive and rare breeds (Coton De Tulear, Alaskan Klee Kai, British Shorthair) and I was looking for the best vets available. Some vet offices charged exorbitant amounts, but Yolinda's vets are just as good if not better and have incredibly fair pricing. The facilities are clean and most of all, the vets are all true animal lovers and truly care about the well being of your loved pets. My very first experience was with Dr. Downs who was just helping on the weekends is no longer there, but her and Dr. Olsen and Dr. Talcott make me question the bedside manner of my human doctors. I've done all my neutering, shots, and other wellness with this vet and my kiddos have always been happy and I can tell that they are not abused or rough with them. This makes me feel incredibly at ease due to the stories I have been encountering recently with animal abuse. Have to give a shout out to the vet techs. Another huge plus is that they're open on weekends! Not many offices are open on the weekends and it makes me very happy that if there's a problem, it is likely they will be there to help. Read Less

Two great experiences with this hospital/clinic. The staff is very kind and caring, they follow up and/or call when they say they will and they are very reasonable in fees. The complete OPPOSITE of Yorba Regional animal hospital where the concern seems to be only for your money. We are very happy to have found great care with Yolinda. Read Less

I've been bringing my cats/dogs to Yolinda for 25 years. When Dr. Olsen and crew purchased the practice, I was pleased with the same high standards as with Dr. Hofacre and Dr. Windt. It is easy to get an appointment and love that they are open on weekend hours in case of an emergency. Read Less

New customer beware. The owner offered me a free examination of my canine for a teeth cleaning and oral surgery. I took my canine in and received a brief examination with a veterinarian. After that they denied knowledge of offer of free examination so I showed them email on my mobile phone. They claimed I did not have the proper paperwork and refused my request to talk with the business owner who offered the complimentary examination. The business manager, Christine, who denied my request to contact the owner became confrontational pressuring me to pay the examination fee in an isolated room. This made me increasingly uncomfortable and I paid the fee to escape the situation.  Here is the initial response from the owner and his generous offer for a free examination is why I took my pup here as I was initially looking at other clinics. Richard G.OwnerSubject: RE: Message from Randall B. for Yolinda Animal Hospital"Thanks for your message. Our dental cleaning is $280 and the bloodwork in house is $80. But extractions are very hard to accurately quote. What I would recommend is a free second opinion with one of our doctors. Would you be interested in this? I got out of a confrontational uncomfortable situation by paying an examination fee, that was comparable to other vets high, but I am thankful it only cost me money. After being pressed for the money I contacted the business owner through Yelp email to work through any miscommunication before posting a bad review and was blown off. This was a very stressful situation for me because I am not comfortable with confrontation and am sorry my dog had to be left to deal with my stress when his own oral pain, which we went in to address, remained unaddressed.

We recently went on vacation and left our dog Sophie in care of Yolinda Animal Hospital between July 2nd and July 18th.  The following is the letter sent to the manager, Rich Guy and his response.I had Sophie groomed before picking her up on the 18th of July after leaving her with Yolinda Vets for two weeks.  Tony, your groomer spoke to me before bringing Sophie out.  He said he had to shave her down around her shoulders due to the amount of matting that was caused by my leaving a halter on her.  I explained that I hadn't seen her in two weeks and a halter is never left on her except for the time she is on a leash.  He then said that I should pay attention to the "boogers" (his words, not mine) around her eyes and to keep the area clean.  Again, I told him that I hadn't seen her in two weeks and had no idea what he was talking about.  Since she had been groomed, no "boogers" were noticed when I picked her up.  After a few days at home I began  to notice that she had some sort of conjunctivitis and took her to a doctor here in Chino Hills.My question is this....why did the person looking after Sophie leave her halter on for two weeks causing matting that couldn't be brushed out and why didn't the tech inform the doctor that Sophie had an eye problem?Another problem I thought you should be aware of is the fact that I called three times to check on Sophie and each time I was put on hold for several minutes and then there was a disconnect.  When I would tell them who I was and that I was calling about Sophie, they seemed to have no interest.  No one ever tried to call me back.  John called when we got into B.C. and checked on Sophie two days before picking her up and was told she was fine, nothing more than that and no encouragement as to her stay.  We dog owners love to hear good things about our dogs.  That they appear happy and are eating.Since you are the Office Manager I felt it necessary to inform you that our experience with Yolinda Animal Hospital Boarding was not a pleasant one.That day I received a response from Mr. Guy stating, "thanks for your very interesting message.  Sorry you and Sophie had a horrible experience :-(  Please give me a few days to do some investigating".The above message from Mr. Guy was dated August 3, 2016........Today, 8-16-16 it has been 13 days and no response from Mr. Guy.  Doesn't appear he is too concerned or interested in customer service.Susan M.

I took my dog their on 4 occasions. I noticed something was wrong with him, he wasnt acting like he normally does. After the 1st visit, I immediately liked them, very friendly, very likable, didnt charge me and arm & a leg for a visit. All our other experiences with other local Vets were awful, btw. So next few months follow, again, my dog is acting odd, not his usual self. Take him back. My wife takes him, she feels the same as I do, nice people, fair pricing, close to home. Win-Win. Her visit, they discover he has low blood cell count, which was odd from a blood test they took. Gave us antibiotics and steroids. Over time he improved, finished the meds, he was doing great. 5 weeks ago, he vomits, and vomits, and vomits. Out of the blue, nothing he's ever done before. So back to Yolinda AH. Same doctor, takes blood test and xray, would not give him anti-nausea meds unless he looked for issue in blood or blockage in xray. Sounded logical to me? Shows me, that he sees no blockage, his blood cell count is better than it was, and he was dehydrated from all the vomiting. Prognosis, give him bland food for a week, set up an appt for 2 weeks July 5th and will check his blood cell count just to be sure. So he slowly returns back to normal, all good? July 2nd, immediately starts vomiting again. Take him back to Yolinda AH, same Vet tells us he has food allergy or intolerance. Checks his blood cell count, says its 41, hes doing great, no worries? More anti-nausea meds. Last night, we rush him to Yorba Animal Hospital. Vet discovers he has mass inside of him, says he developed diabetes, pancreatitus, and his blood cell count is 16. He put him on oxygen, IV, catheter... he is so far gone, if he could survive surgery, his life expectancy would be poor if at best, we have the choice of $3000.00 surgery with a "poor at best" way of life for him, or Euthanize. My wife came home to find him in our bathroom, in the dark, preparing to die. His last day on this earth was of suffering, alone, in the dark. At 12:10am this morning he was Euthanized. This whole ordeal could of been prevented. We were and always have been proactive in his care, yet were sold on dietary issues, which had NOTHING TO DO with his health. His name is Gunther, he would of been 8 this October.Read Less

We had to take our 9 year old dog Woody to the vet on a Sunday and their office was the only one in our area that would see our dog. Their service was exceptional from the moment we arrived.Luckily it was nothing serious but we were provided with medication and instructions to care for our dog.We are happy to have a new vet to care for our four dogs!

The raving reviews on Yelp were surprising me. Be careful about this business. Major problem I had was that my dog was MISDIAGNOSED.My review is based on my 1 (one) time visit in December 2012. I was cleaning my email and came to see my correspondence with this place. I cannot believe that I forgot to write a review for this place.I still remember this place really well due to misdiagnosis and negative experience with the front desk. The front desk staff was very rude when my dog and I visited this place. In addition, after the visit, I called them to ask the doctor's diagnosis (heart murmur grade). The staff just answered it without asking my name and my dog's name. When I told her that the grade she mentioned was not correct, she asked my name and my dog's name. After she "checked" the record in about 3 seconds (yes, 3 seconds), she told me a different grade. At the end, I emailed the office manager because I simply did not expect she gave me the correct answer. He answered my question after I asked him to verify with the vet in a timely manner.I had a regular vet for our dogs. However, the location was far from our home (about 1 hour each way without traffic). I was willing to drive to the vet because I really trusted him and was very happy with him. I drove to this vet when our dogs were sick or needed wellness exam.The reason I visited this place was because my dog had wound on her neck because of itching (most likely due to clipper burn). Home remedy did not work. After the wound had healed and e-collar was removed, she would scratch the neck again until it bled.I decided to take her to a near vet because I thought it was an easy problem. I was completely wrong.The vet, Dr. Bahman K., did not know how to approach a new dog (my dog was shaking so bad -- she really hates doctor's office, unless she goes with her sister) properly. After checking the wound (it took him about 15 minutes to diagnose the wound), he spoke with me. The medicine he gave did not fix the issue, just like my home remedy. I eventually went to my regular vet. The wound had healed within a week permanently after the visit (she no longer scratched the neck after the wound was healed).The major issue I had with Dr. Bahman K. was misdiagnosis. The vet told me that our dog had a grade 3 to 4 heart murmur. She needed to go to a cardiologist that they referred and got an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) that would cost around $400-500. Since I was not convinced with the vet, I searched online about heart murmur symptoms in a dog at home. My dog had none of the symptoms listed. My dog's heart did not have a whooshing sound like a dog with a grade 3-4 heart murmur should have.To make a long story short, 5 (five) other vets said that our dog is fine. Each of these vets could not hear anything wrong with my dog's heart.IF YOUR DOG WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A NEW MEDICAL ISSUE AT THIS PLACE, PLEASE GET A SECOND OPINION FROM OUTSIDE VET (OTHER PRACTICE) IN A TIMELY MANNER.

Let me start by saying that this office is great at showing that they care about my pets. It is highly evident! I went to them for a little over a year. Their methods may work for other clients and that is great, but I needed a more thorough vet and have since moved on. I brought my pet here several times for ear infections and diahrrea issues that just seem to come back consistently, even after taking advice on diet change. After pouring more and more money into visits, I decided to get a 2nd opinion. It turns out that, that pet has a yeast infection in his ear and also is on a plan to get to the root of the stomach upset, and is being tested for IBD which was never an option presented to me by Yolinda before. I liked the familial environment, and I think it is a good establishment, they just weren't thorough enough in trying to fix the discomfort my pet has been having. I put money toward solutions that just didn't work, but most importantly, my pet has been uncomfortable for over a year. I had to move on. Read Less

I cannot give this place enough stars! I was having concerns about my dog on a Saturday night and decided to research places that would be open on Sunday. Yolinda had the best hours and reviews so I decided to make an appointment since their website states walk in appts are pricier. I was able to make a same day appt at the time I was looking for! The vet tech and the vet were extremely kind and tried so hard to make my dog feel at ease. They were very helpful and I'm so glad that I was able to find them. They also return calls extremely quickly and also called to make sure my dog's medication was working. I really appreciate the thoroughness and care everyone displays here. Read Less

Yolinda Animal Hospital took great care of my doggy. He had several teeth that needed to be extracted and because of my work schedule they offered to board him for free the night before the procedure. I picked him up the next day, and this made it made very convenient to get this done. I couldn't be happier with the service and pricing that I received and the loving care for my dog. In the future I will come back to them for Besos needs. I would highly recommend Yolinda Animal Hospital to anyone looking. Read Less

We started coming here 5 years ago when we moved to the area.  Our cat was poisoned on Halloween night and we brought her in the next morning after finding her laying in the garage barely responsive.  Walking into Yolinda Animal Hospital, we did not know that just hours later, we would walk back out without her. The staff was so kind and caring, we even received a sympathy card from them a few days later.  We knew at that point who our vet was going to be when we got another pet. Now, we love bringing our fur babies here. They are friendly and the doctors are great-very patient and thorough. We bring our 2 1/2-year-old German Shepard and our two, 2-year-old, tabby cats here.  the staff is thoughtful and helpful, for example, the last time we were in, our dog would not get on the scale so they covered the scale with a blanket and she hopped right on and laid down.  We also appreciate the text message appointment reminders and the separate entrances; cats on the right, dogs on the left.

Yolinda Animal Hospital brazenly displays their passion for animals on their sleeves, and I couldn't be happier about it!! Not only was each associate I encountered, pleasant, helpful and accommodating, Dr. Olsen actually spent REAL time with me and my latest rescue. She casually spoke with me, answered my questions and provided advice without giving me the slightest impression that she was in a rush. Dr. Olsen laid out various options for care and helped me determine the best course of action based on my life and the life of my cat. Since my cat was a street rescue, it was difficult to determine whether or not she's been spayed. As a result, Dr. Olsen let me know that if I scheduled her spaying, and they got in there only to find it had already been done, that she wouldn't charge me for the procedure. Talk about taking care of your customer!Is Yolinda Animal Hospital the cheapest pet care out there? No. Is it the most expensive? No. But, even if it was, there is no price too great for the peace of mind knowing that your pet is truly being cared for by a thoughtful and skilled veterinarian staff. They, like you, treat your pet like family.Since finding them, I've moved my other cat from her previous vet to this office for her care, and have had my friend's family switch to them as well. They too share my sentiments about this place.If you love your pets as much as I love mine, there is no doubt, you too will love Yolinda Animal Hospital. Read Less

I really like this place. They are so friendly and you can tell everyone here loves animals and loves their job. I've had some heartbreak here as it was my first stop on my journey with my parvo puppy but they do not make you feel pressured into anything extra. Very good people, excellent value. Read Less

Dr Olsen has taken care of our kitty Izzy and solved our problems with an easy change of diet and over the counter products!! She has also now taken care of my parents dog as well.

And Richard has made staying in contact super easy!! He always sends emails to check on the pets and to make sure everything is good. And when I have a question he emails me back within minutes!! I love them!! Thank u Dr.Olsen .. Richard. .and staff!! Read Less

Sweet, sympathetic and helpful staff and doctor as they helped us through our beloved pet's last days... They even made special helpful accommodations despite the fact we were first time clients. What was clearest to me as we went through the process was that they are truly animal lovers here and genuinely kind people. On a practical level the prices seemed very reasonable, and if we needed a vet, I would go back. The 4 vs a 5 is probably more about the services we required than the quality of the service, there's nothing negative at all that I have to say about the establishment itself, or its staff. Top notch. Read Less

Really, really great. Caring, fair prices for surgeries (seriously!), and a staff that's very accommodating. Love the people here. Our dog is dog-aggressive and they're always understanding and accommodating with taking care of her. Read Less

Dr. Olsen is a great vet and this is the only place I will bring my animals to. It feels like I call nonstop and bring them in all the time, but they always put my mind at ease. So glad I have an animal hospital that's not only very close to home and affordable, but very trustworthy. Read Less

When I adopted my black lab Bruce as a puppy a pinch over a year ago, I had to go through all the hurdles of getting him vaccinated and check ups to make sure he was healthy. When I took him to Yolinda Animal Hospital, I have never felt so welcomed and stress free about anything in my life. Im a 20 year old college student who took on the task of raising and adopting a dog, which can be both labor and cash intensive. The people who work at the Yolinda Animal Hospital have been with me every step of the way making sure that I have the best support for my dog Bruce. They are affordable, reliable, and caring group of people. In my opinion there is no better group of people taht are qualified to treat your animals then the great people at the Yolinda Animal Hospital! Read Less

My boxer Tito had a seizure at home and was in need of assistance quick. I drove into Yolinda Animal Hospital for the first time. The staff acted so quick I couldn't believe it. they had Tito inside giving him treatment immediately. It was so good to see a vet that cares so much about the animal in trouble. The Vets were so knowledgeable and had such compassion for Tito.....I was more than pleased. After a few hours Tito was ready to go home and rest after treatment. I have been looking for a new animal hospital and I have found one and so glad I did. Not only are they so compassionate Yolinda is very affordable. I have been trough my share of vets and I could say with out a doubt ......Yolinda is the best! And one of Tito's favorite. Stellar work....and thank you so much. Read Less
