Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital

"Thank you for helping our family through the toughest decision. Even though we visited frequently the last two weeks and all the tests came back not ideal…or getting worse…I was never once suggested anything but positive options. I am so glad we found your services and your staff were wonderful and attentive. Ty for kissing Jojo goodbye for us! As for the logistics, prices were fair and I did not feel pressured to do anything extra. The membership was also a great option and made sense for my situation. I am grateful to have found this Vet and felt that Jojo was in good hands till the very end."

"My sweet baby ate a fruit snack that contained grape so we rushed here. The vet was so kind and explained a lot. But what really did it for me was they started treatment before they told me the cost (per my request) usually they need signatures or approval on the cost before they start treatment and that takes TIME! Time matters at an emergency vet and if you say cost isn’t an option then it isn’t an option. They proceeded without question and then when he was seen by the vet and treatment started they approached with cost. Surprisingly it was under 800. He felt better and we went home. I appreciate not wasting precious time to haggle cost. Just get it done, my dog is what matters."

"I've never written a review for a vet, but I felt like this place deserves it. My Bourke Parrot Rambo was pretty sick the last 48hrs and looked pretty bad. I've had horrible experiences in the past trying to take my feathered friends somewhere I trust (took my parakeet to a local vet 2 weeks ago and he was dead less than 24hrs later)..so when I called last night to IVV I was really apprehensive. Dr. Bobula and the staff did an amazing job taking care of Rambo and getting him back to health! They were upfront about everything, talked about different diagnosis and care options, and actually gave him the time and care he deserved. I feel that exotic pets get a bad rap at vets as not being as important as cats and dogs, but at IVV it really felt like they cared for all the animals the same and gave attention to care for every patient. I drove over 30miles to come to this place for an emergency visit and Im glad I did. I would highly recommend them for anyone concerned for their birds. And no, price was not horrible considering the treatment. It's $185 baseline for all exotic exams, and then whatever else they decide to do..but honestly it was worth every penny to save this little guy. Less than 24hrs later in the first picture here and he looks like his old self with his meds. Thank you guys!!"

"For some insight to this review Maverick had ruptured 3 disks in his back in March of 2022 in which he was unable to use his back legs and had to undergo surgery. After a few months of rest, recovery, and assistance on my end he was able to regain use of his back legs with some limitations and seemingly no pain. During that time period the neurologist that performed the surgery did not recommend any physical therapy although a shake in his back right leg and apparent resting of weight primarily on his front legs. Fast forward about 1.5 years and Maverick was in very apparent pain and barely able to move one of his back legs again - leveraging only his upper body for movement. This is when we started seeing Dr. Nauss. My experience with Dr. Nauss has been absolutely amazing. He is extremely thorough in his assessments, treatments, and next step plans. Even after Maverick's first treatment, you could see a night and day difference in his pain level and ability to move around. After multiple treatments you could physically feel the difference and relief in tightness around his back and neck (knots removed and body less tense). In addition, you could see the positive change in his personality. Back to being "crazy" and trying to sprint everywhere, play with toys, jump up and down on people, couches, etc. (although we are trying to limit it as much as possible). I can't thank Dr. Nauss and his team enough for the help. Maverick went from a ton of pain, barely walking, and our family stressing about another surgery or potential wheelchair scenario to being back to his old self."

"Dr. Jason and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing. Kind, friendly, and nurturing to my 9wk old Goldendoodle puppy. They answered all my questions thoroughly, and showed such tender care during treatment. Plus, gave my puppers so much love & pets!"
