The best for your pet!. CDM Animal / Vet Hospital has been our only Veterinarian Hospital and Doctors for well over 20 years. From Jay (at the front desk) as well as anyone who greets you to any of the Doctors (ours has been Dr. Aten) your pet could not be in better hands! We trust them with our extended family members and have recommended them countless time to friends and associates with never ever hearing anything but an enormous 'Thank you' in return. I often drive in from Los Angeles to have them care for one of the 'brood'.

Friendly Staff & Loving Doctors!. I've been a loyal client at Corona del Mar Animal Hospital for many years. I'm there at least once a week with my bulldogs for grooming! They do the best job and really understand the breed and all their nasty skin problem! They use the best products and are actually less expensive then Newport Center and Newport Animal Hospital.

What I love most about CDM Animal Hospital is that no matter who is working up front, they always remember my name and my pets names without even having my file! They are all so good at what they do and I would never take my dogs anywhere else!

As far as the doctors go, I'm non specific, they are all fantastic and know my dogs very well! Dr. Aten, Dr. Hooykaas, Dr. Hanson and Dr. Sagartz are the best vet's in Orange County!

Thank you all!

Best Vet's in Orange County. I have been taking my cavalier king charles to this animal hospital since she was a pup. She has received the greatest care from both the staff and all the doctor's. They are always prompt to take care of her and are always do whatever is needed for her health and happiness!

She recently had a neck injury and Dr. Aten was able to diagnosis the problem quickly before it became an issue (Jasmine says thank you, by the way)!

If you want not only a vet, but groomers and new friends, this is the BEST animal hospital in Orange County, hands down!!

Zero for 3; fatal misdiagnoses. Took my beloved to this vet for 10 years. They failed to properly diagnose cancer, called it allergies and pinched nerve. This went on for over one year. Symptoms were classic hemangiosarcoma that should have sent signals and could have been readily diagnosed with ultrasound, but this was not suggested and even discouraged. Perhaps it is because they don't offer it. Finally, I took her to UC Davis, where she had an ultrasound and was diagnosed that same day. She had surgery the next day, but I got the grim news that it is fatal. For whatever reason, my dog's life has been truncated needlessly. Same thing happened to two friend's dogs there. Both of them died. One friend did not know what happened to her dog until mine got diagnosed (one year after her dog's death). This is too common of a situation for this to be missed three times by this vet. Davis recommends an annual check up with an ultrasound to catch this disease early. I am grieving over what I could have done but did not.

Great Vet & Staff. Many years ago, before we moved to Orange County, we were visiting on holiday with our puppy who got attacked by another dog. Several passersby who witnessed the attack stopped to help & two separately recommended Corona Del Mar Pet Hospital. We rushed him there, and although they were closing, they took him in and got him all fixed up. Now that we've moved here, they were the first vet I considered. I still talked around to other pet owners, and everyone had wonderful things to say about CDM Animal Hospital, including a student of mine who was interning for a different vet in the area. They are fantastic. We were sad to leave our prior vet (Dr. Stan Kunin in Woodland Hills - also Top Notch!), but so happy to have Skipper in Dr. Aten's care!
