The attitude of their operator was very bad. She hung up without listening to my words. My dog went to the emergency room today. Because they entered the wrong birthday information, I contacted them to resend the invoice to my email. The other party claimed that it would take 24 hours to process this request. I was very urgent and needed this to deal with the dispute of the puppy being bitten. Then I said that I would report your attitude and the invoice was sent to my email immediately. This attitude really makes people f... read more

Nursing and vet staff are terrible and irresponsible and revenging .when you ask questions for clarification, nurse comes and offer you to go to other hospitals around as your options. Lack of passion and sympathy.

staff is passive aggressive and doesn't provide vital information about cost of services, they perform them without adequately notifying and explaining the costs beforehand. When I called them out not notifying me of the price prior to starting the process the main vet started to guilt trip me talking about how she is 300k in debt because she became a vet, she also twisted my words saying I don't care for my pet when I couldn't afford to keep them their for 12 hours and kept me jammed up by trying to get me to sign release f... read more

"Last week, my cat got sick and I took her to Irvine Valley Veterinary Clinic. They kept her for 3 days and handed me a bill of $10,000. Before starting the treatment, they mentioned that they could get support from different aid organizations and maybe half of the amount could be covered by them. I accepted, and the treatment began. I got my cat back in the same condition, and now we are continuing her treatment at home. However, when I went to get a serum for her that we needed to administer at home, I paid $105, but later... read more

This had to be the rudest most non-empathetic facility I'm guessing possibly anywhere. My poor kitten was killed about a month ago. Because it was after hours, I ended up here. Pet cemetery would be better service. They charged me for her private cremation however, I have yet to receive her remains. No one answers the phone and if you do have the pleasure of meeting one of the staff, they are much more concerned with discussing their social life with their co-workers than they are at assisting, let alone comforting you... read more

I came in here today and chose this place because of the reviews in yelp of them. But, to be honest I didn't like it. Maybe because my pet I came in here for cremation was a reptile.. and not a dog or something greater as to why it didn't matter or I don't know. But it didn't feel they were caring and it mattered. I expected more coming in for a cremation of my beloved pet. All they did was make me type in my name as a "signature" in the consent form. And didn't even ask me what package I wanted or what did I want. Just aske... read more

Review of Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital I am utterly devastated by the experience I had at Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital. My beloved dog, Kimchi, tragically passed away due to their negligent and profit-driven practices. Despite having dog insurance and providing them with $450, they failed to prioritize her well-being and instead focused on extracting as much money from me as possible. After receiving subpar treatment, Kimchi's condition worsened, and I was met with indifference when I reached out for help. Their ... read more

I took my dog there because something was wrong with her. they quoted me $1200 for x rays, blood work etc. since it's the beginning of the month i said I only have $450 but I want to know what's wrong because she was breathing heavy and wouldn't move so they gave her some fluids and a shit for nausea and said she should be fine. I was kind of upset how it's clear something was wrong and they just rushed me out of there and charged me $450. I got home and she got worse which might have been from the medication they gave her s... read more
