South Orange County Animal Hospital

Dr. Tani, the other drs., the staff, and everyone is really helpful and focused on your pet here. We have a difficult, defensive dog in Dante. The team here is patient and understanding and have been able to get him to trust them even when he is in pain. We are so glad we switched qnd have been coming here for over 10 years. Thank you all for everything you do!!!

I have been taking my dog Chewie here since he was a puppy and have had nothing but POSITIVE experiences. The staff from top to bottom is very friendly and always helpful! Also worth mentioning that we have been very comfortable with the pricing. The office is very clean and its very easy to schedule and reschedule appointments. If you have a dog, this is the only place to consider! We drive from santa ana just to come here. Truly grateful for the care and love that offered here

I can’t express how much I adore this animal hospital. This is the only place I’ve taken my animals in the last 10+ years. I currently have two cats and live in Costa Mesa but will happily commute here for their needs. Dr. Cheron and Dr. Kim are absolutely fantastic. They truly care about my cats and are beyond kind and caring. They offered to help shelter one of my cats when my partner and I went through a traumatic apartment fire. That’s when I knew they were our forever vets. They truly are compassionate beings. This establishment follows up with my animals after every visit. They are always so kind and polite over phone and in person. If you ever need to leave a voicemail they always get back in a timely manner. I can’t express the gratitude I have for the team at SOCAH.

Dr. Tani has cared for our dogs since he was a puppy, almost a decade. I no longer live close to Lake Forest, but I still take the 30 to 45 minute drive to see her. She helped us navigate a year long relocation to Japan, and always takes the time to listen and really figure out what is going on when something goes wrong. As our dog gets older now, I can’t imagine caring for him with anyone else besides her.

I had a wonderful experience from the moment I walked in. The staff was friendly and welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere for both me and my dog. The Dr. was incredibly thorough during the examination. I was impressed by his realistic recommendations—he didn't try to upsell unnecessary services or treatments, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients. I left feeling confident that my dog was in excellent hands. I will definitely be returning for future visits and highly recommend this vet service to anyone looking for compassionate and honest care for their pets. Thank you for making this experience so positive!
