Dr. Stefanie Schwartz 26895 Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656

"I believe Dr Schwartz reported my initial review as its no longer on Google, which echoed everyone else about her belief in dominance theory which has been WELL de-bunked. She was also consistently late to my appts as well, which is rude considering I paid like $450 for the appts?! What she suggests would have worsened my dog rather than helping him overcome his fears. Please go to any other VB in the area (SD/LA/remote) if you have a scared/fearful dog."

"I called Dr Schwartz as a new client and she was super short with me. I began explaining the issue my dogs were experiencing and she interrupted me and asked me to keep it short. I then tried to tell her as briefly as possible what was happening and then she said curtly, "well I still don't have a good idea what's going on" well yeah you asked me to keep it brief lol. She then told me that she only meets with clients via Zoom. Since leash reactivity was a concern of mine she said she would just watch me put my dog on leash on Zoom to "get an idea." That costs $500, so I declined."

"As someone who doesn’t write reviews. I think this one deserves one. DO NOT take the time to meet with dr Schwartz. Our consultation was 2 hours spent of going page by page of the intake report she has you fill out. She suggested using the patio for my dog to relieve herself. She was not interested in hearing my concerns of what brought us to the appointment. Waste of money and time."

"I absolutely had the worst experience with this vet and DO NOT RECOMMENDED at all. She was late for the appointment and looked a mess. She never reviewed my pet chart I'd had sent weeks prior to the appointment which irritated me. She basically recommended to keep my pet locked up rather than desensitized and socialize with the help of anti anxiety meditation. After questioning her recommendations she became combative, attacking me. As a veteterinary technician, Dr. Schwartz was a huge disappointment, lacking compassion and knowledge of animal behavior. If you have a German shepherd with typical anxiety please save your time and money, look for a trainer and go to your family vet you trust. I've started my pet on trazadone and it has help tremendously. Isolation is no way to treat a family pet. I consider that neglect and a slap in the face coming from a person who has taken an oath."

"As a veterinarian who refers to Dr. Schwartz regularly, I've been quite impressed with her medicine and care. I'd highly recommend taking her advice seriously as she's helped many of my patients. Thank you Dr. Schwartz, Dr. to Dr.!"
