This practice has the best vets in Orange County. They are phenomenal with their dedication to helping patients and I love that they’re clear and concise when explaining any procedure that has to be done. The prices are great and their vet tech staff as well as the front desk staff are compassionate and so efficient. I cannot recommend them enough. They are great!

I could not write a higher review. Dr Kim is the vet we have been using for our dog this year based on a referral we were given. Dr Kim is an amazing veterinarian and an equally amazing communicator. Every time he sees our dog, he gives us all of our options and is very transparent about the rational behind each option. We brought our dog in with a life threatening condition and he was treated Immediately, and the staff were checking on us giving constant updates along every step. They even call over the next few days to keep tabs on our dogs progress. Overall this facility runs very smooth and

I came across this hospital when my cat experienced a foot injury on a Sunday and the regular vet was closed. They made room in their schedule to see her and were very kind. That’s why we went back a month later when my cat had weird symptoms and was diagnosed by cardiomyopathy. Dr. Kim got her on a medication regimen that’s been working well and sees her every few months for followup. The pricing is affordable and I cannot say enough about how EVERYONE at this practice is genuinely nice. So happy!

The staff was very helpful. My dog had surgery and was acting very agitated after a few days. The person that answered the phone listened to me and checked with the doctors to see what could be done. I was given an appointment for the next morning. Dr. Kim was amazing and really listened to my concerns and was able to determine that my dog was having a reaction to the mix of medications that he was taking for pain. The next day, my dog was back to himself. I am always appreciative of how great the staff and doctors are when we come in for visits.

All the staff at South Orange County Animal Hospital are so friendly and knowledgeable! They have very safe COVID protocols while still delivering the service that I have grown to expect from them. I absolutely love our vet! Most of my experience has been with Dr. Tani and she is just an absolute gem. So kind, so bubbly, and she cares so much for each and every pet.

Over the past several years, I've been to this practice with multiple foster kitties. I was impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the doctors and staff. The office and exam rooms are very clean and comfortable. I also thought it was very cool that they worked with local rescues.
It was because of my positive experience with my fosters that I wanted to switch to South County. However, when it came time for me to book an appointment for my slightly sick kitty, they pushed me off for an appointment 9 days in the future, even though my kitty had been seen by them as a rescue in the past

A pic from a week ago. Now this lil guy is in recovery mode and he’s slowly but surely on the mend. It was gut wrenchingly scary 😟 and the first time I felt choked up, cried until my… lids were swollen and couldn’t breathe for fear of losing him 😭 That’s mah baby 😭
You know in nursing school when the sim lab always did a DKA scenario? Well there’s a reason for that. You don’t quite notice it until suddenly he gets an infection, it knocks him out and his body starts

There are not enough words in the English language to adequately explain how wonderful this practice is. Dr. Tani and Dr. DeAtley have tended to our fur babies for years now and we simply would not trust anyone else with their care. Being a first-time dog mom, they are very patient and warm with me and help me learn how I can give my boys the… best, longest life possible. They have helped us with routine care, they have helped us with crisis health scares, and they have helped us when we needed to say good-bye to our sweet black lab...I thank my lucky stars that my fur babies are in such

We are thrilled to have Dr. DeAtley caring for our pets! My big, sweet Lab Tolstoy loves going and its works out well since he has been a frequent visitor. I have no idea what goes on behind closed doors but I know its something fun! Thank you to all the professionals who make our visits a good experience.

We were with another local vet for 10 years and thought we were getting the best prices and care. After a pretty unfair interaction, I felt it time to find another place for my furry family....and found South OC Animal Hospital. I regret spending 10 years somewhere else and wish I found them sooner. We have only used Dr. Tani and have been so… incredibly impressed with her compassion, care, confidence and cost saving measures for our family. The front office is on point, the care is top notch and the prices are beyond reasonable. We are moving in 3 years to Idaho and I am so sad to leave
