South Coast Pet Hospital

Best Vet we’ve been to! Super accommodating with nervous dogs and their prices are good considering they are in an expensive area. With COVID, there has been a wait time for pick up, but nothing crazy, and it’s to be expected since most other Vet offices were closed. We recently moved away, but will still be making the drive to come here!

I took my bunny here yesterday to see Dr. Aramburu because I could not get him in with his usual vet. We had a great experience and the Dr. did not rush through at all and had a lot of bunny knowledge. I got the sense all of the staff truly cares about animals and feel confident taking my pets back. It is good to know we have a good bunny vet close by.

Dr. A was incredible, often times you are left in the dark regarding the thought processes and decisions made by the vet. But as he treated my dog and as he explained his thinking, it almost felt like he was thinking out loud. Giving me possible reasons for my dogs ailment and levels of approaches in regard to how aggressive we wanted to tackle the problem as well as reasons for the approach. Overall I highly recommend this location and I will continue to come back. Thanks South Coast Hospital!

I discovered this place I'm June when I found newborn kittens. The vet is very nice, he knows how to act around them.i wish I could have discovered this place sooner.i like the roominess of the facility as well. The staff has a really compassionate way of treating. I should have taken my bunny here first. I used to take my cat and dog far away to be seen to save money. This is just as good cause they give out packages of vaccinations for babies. Again I love these people.

Very helpful. My partner and I take all our girls here.

Had a great experience with the Staff and Dr Aramburu. My kitten was a nervous but they took the time to understand and reassure her she was safe and loved. We will definitely be back with our other cats.

Had 2 emergencies w my teeny tiny Yorkie several months apart & both totally diff circumstances. Both times the entire staff was amazing. Caring. Understanding. Dr M Aramburu has a great bedside manner with my tiny baby & remembered her from her first visit!
Great safe place to take your fur babies!
THANK YOU FROM OUR FAMILY!

This has been the BEST pet hospital for us. Around Christmas time we had an emergency surgery for one of our babies and these guys did an amazing job at a fraction of what it would cost us in several places. The staff is amazing, friendly and very professional. We highly recommend South Coast Pet Hospital

My dog got sick and our vet couldn't see her for 2 weeks, so we found South Coast Pet Hospital. They are doing curbside service. You call them when you get there and they come out and take your pet inside to see the doctor. The doctor then calls you while he's doing the examination. He's great and takes his time discussing the different treatment options. They are so nice and even called me yesterday to see how she was doing. (Great, by the way!) I highly recommend them and we are keeping them as our regular vet. Thanks guys, you're awesome!

I am from Minnesota, and my dog Kona got sick, they got her in right away and treated her. I have a phenomenal Veterinarian in Minnesota and now I have a phenomenal Veterinarian in California. It’s hard to find a veterinarian that is caring and loving as these people are for your animals. I would highly recommend this veterinarian clinic to people. The staff are amazing people. Especially when they’re booked up and they say get your animal over here right away.

They were considerate to finish my kittens surgery faster due to the fact I needed to stay out of the sun as much as possible because of my meds making me photosensitive and the only transportation I have is a bike and I needed to save energy. I was willing to wait as long as it took . Basically thinking of my health and my kittens.

This place was amazing.
I brought my rabbit here around the last week of December because I started to notice that her skin color was turning black in a area I brushed her. I let a couple of days to go by because I thought it may have been her fur coming out, she’s a black bunny, but nothing was coming out and it had been weeks and she started to get dandruff. I arrived there at the time I had made the appointment.
They placed me in a room within minutes of checking in. Two different people took a look at her and the doctor who helped me out diagnosed her but they ran tests to confirm the diagnoses which I was ok with . They gave me medicine and they showed me how to apply it and they were very through about what may happen and what to look out for in case she gets better or worse and they thoroughly answered any questions and concerns I had. They informed me that the results for one of the tests was going to take a couple of days and that they would call me. Sure enough they called me a couple of days later to confirm what she had I went for her medicine about a week later. Her treatments took about a month to finish. And a month later my bun is doing great and her skin look healthy and pink with no dandruff! (:
Everyone was very welcoming and extremely friendly and I love how they treated my bun Charcoal. They treated her as I would treat her and I really appreciated that. This is officially Charcoals vet. I highly recommend this place for any rabbit owners .

it was an excellent experience. i enjoyed the process through out, the staff was great. it blew my mind when I received a call from the Vet himself after examining my dog gave a picture perfect explanation on on his condition. We will definitely return in due time

The staff at South Coast Pet Hospital are the most kind and generous veterinarians that you'll find anywhere. Every doctor there is familiar with every patient, they're professional, and they care about their customers like they're family. The front desk staff is beyond compassionate and they will go out of their way to help you, make you feel at home, and help nurse your pet back to health. I can't recommend them enough; they have a customer for life with our family as long as we are anywhere near Orange County.

I cannot thank this vet-hospital enough. My sister took our beloved maltipoo here for grooming and vet visits. She moved him from another vet clinic that was not very empathetic. He was a rescue and even though he was a puppy at heart he an older dog and had lost of accumulating health issues. Unfortunately we had to let him go. My sister was heartbroken to make the hardest decision of her young life. The staff was amazing and sympathized with her pain. It's horrible to loose a fur baby but I am glad there is vets like this that take their time to send their condolences. Thank you for your thoughts.

My 9 year old Lab Mix and 12 year old Kitty have been under their care for the last 5 years. The doctors are Amazing and staff extremely nice.
The doctors will do anything to help your baby, and nothing that is not necessary. Totally trust their expertise and wisdom.

I have had nothing but AMAZING experiences here. Dr. Kumar is one of the best without a doubt. All of the staff truly cares. They're personable, polite, and make you and your furchild a priority. I have been to many vets and so many of them, although they care about the animals, seem to care more about the $$. That is not the case here at all. The staff has come early to allow me to drop off my dog before a procedure and even stayed late as I hurried in after work. I've got three bunnies and a dog. I know that all of them are well taken care of any time I need to take them in.

Today I felt so excited with what transpired in my experience of South Coast Pet Hospital after being concerned about the possibility of my 7 ½ year old bunny girl having GI Stasis. I took the advice from Caroline at Bunny Bunches to take immediate action to get her in to the veterinarian. I recently moved to Westminster from Orange and we had a bunny vet in Yorba Linda that was very good, however they didn’t have any openings and I knew that it would be wise for me to find a great bunny doctor that is a lot closer in case there is an emergency. Well, my two bunny kids will be adopting Matias Aramburu, DVM as their new primary care bunny doctor who specializes in geriatrics, internal medicine, personalized attentive care with a calming effect, a grounded approach with the innate wisdom of when to take an aggressive approach & when to conscientiously treat a problem (like GI Stasis). Before I made the call to South Coast Pet Hospital, I read all the reviews and I am in total agreement with the others that gave the 5 star reviews and I didn’t see any evidence of what would constitute a lower than 5 star review. When I talked with Dr. Aramburu by phone before he proceeded with Suri’s medical treatment, he had such a friendly & warm nature and he took the time to ask me questions, listened intently, reassured and responded to my questions. I felt that we resonated well together and since my bunny kids depend on me to advocate for them and to be a good mommy, it was so easy to understand his protocol and felt that we were definitely on the same page in taking the necessary steps to take conscientious care of Suri. And it is obviously working because the measures that he undertook to treat her in the office had an immediate effect of bringing her out of the lethargy. She has got her spunk back & is alert and responding to affection with a bazillion bunny kisses for me and her brother Arty & even went out on the patio to let her new doggy friend Bently give her love nudges. She has already started eating. Each member of Dr. A’s staff that I met today were so loving, warm, genuinely caring, professional and patient. This had a magical way of making this new & seemingly awkward or different COVID curbside drop off process so natural and the interaction with me as the bunny parent and my bunny children was expressed while maintaining the social distancing. Maddy & Mark took the time to explain about the medications and answer my questions clarifying timing, etc, so I can feel confident and comfortable with embarking on the next step of Suri’s healing recovery process as I administer her meds tomorrow. And Daniel was so wonderful to make sure that the necessary claim forms were faxed into Nationwide Insurance, to do whatever they could from their end to help expedite the reimbursement because the expense (even though was reasonable for what was done for Suri) was unexpected. A Bizillion Gratitude Hugs for a fantastic bunny doctor, Dr. Aramburu & his amazing staff, Gail Kawanami [Bunny mom to my precious bunny kids, Suri & Arty]

We love this place we been coming here for 3 years now and I feel safe and comfortable with them

We have (or more accurately, had) six dogs in our family and SCPH are great at keeping them huffing, puffing and barking. One dog had Addison's disease and thyroid disease so he took a lot of work. Two others were blind and diabetic, and a third furbaby had to have a cancerous tumour removed from his chest. All of these pups were well taken care of and never minded getting out of the car when we had to take them back.

Moreover, we unfortunately have had to guide three of our pups over the rainbow bridge during this pandemic due to old age and the staff here have been very sympathetic and supportive throughout. Dr. A and Mark are great and Dr. Kumar and her husband (who started the practice and still are involved indirectly) were great people as well.

If my dogs trust them after all they had to do to keep them alive and healthy then so should yours.
