Canyon Animal Hospital

Used to be good; gone downhill.

by true review at Citysearch

Dr. G is the new owner of the practice as of late 2009 and since he has taken over, it has become a very different place to bring pets.

While sitting in the lobby a man was waiting for his records telling me that Dr. G never returned calls and his dog died.

Separately, there is a $12 cost on top of any prescriptions filled - ridiculous.

Dr. G is one of these doctors that says "leave everything to me" - next thing you know you have a bill for hundreds of dollars for tests that have been performed without your consent.

This used to be a great place to take pets for care. With this new ownership and lack of sensitivity, I highly recommend a new vet.

• Pros: great staff
• Cons: price/new ownership (Dr. G)

Good veterinary care but pricey

by In2dogs at Citysearch

There are three doctors in this practice and all are top notch. That said, although Canyon Animal Hospital has always been pricey, they are now a bit over the top $$$ wise ... especially in this tough economy. Coupled with the trend toward higher prices, some of the staff can be friendly or not depending on their mood. Follow up also can leave something to be desired depending on which vet you are dealing with . And perhaps the most disconcerting factor is feeling that the office is not as organized as it could be.There are other practices that offer a high caliber of veterinary care and are also down to earth and spot on as far diagnosis, surgery etc. at more reasonable prices ... I hope that the docs at Laguna Canyon Animal Hospital realize that their clients are having to keep a tighter control over their finances and reassess some of their current fees .

• Pros: Vets are extremely knowledgeable and personable
• Cons: High prices

great place

It seems like the whole staff cares about whats going on. Yes, they are sometimes a little busy but all top notch people who will take the time to do things correctly even when busy. The doctor seems to be a animal lover also not just a money maker. Great place

• Pros: staff
• Cons: busy
