AAA Animal Hospital

I’ve been coming here for years, and for the most part their service is good. I would only come here to get annual shots. My 3 year old cat has had fleas a few times and I take her there to get a flea dip and I swear EVERY time I get a call saying that they can’t «control» my cat and have to put her under anesthesia for an extra $ 50 or so. She isn’t a hard cat to handle either. Also, a few months ago I was moving out of my parents house and had to stay with a friend for a few days who was allergic to cats to so I took her here for boarding and I came to visit every day, one time the girl let me go back there go see where my cat was staying, and she was in a small cage next to other animals and I stuck my hand in there to pet her and the lady as the nerve to tell me «yeah she normally just sits back in the corner over there. Nobody comes to take her out» ??? Like why would you tell me that? If you don’t have the money for a nicer boarding place and only plan to keep your animal here for a few days for $ 10 a night then do that. So as I said before, take your animal here just for shots and check ups. But if your animal is in serious need of a vet for their health, go somewhere else.

We just adopted a 12 week old kitten from an animal shelter and needed to have the staple for her spay surgery removed. We called ahead of time to make sure that this was something that AAA Animal Hospital could accommodate. After waiting for nearly 40 minutes we were told by the extremely rude and impatient person at the front desk that they couldn’t remove the staple because we didn’t have any paperwork and because AAA Animal Hospital didn’t put the staple in. Needless to say we won’t be returning here and despite having been a customer for several years, I will no longer recommend them.

Went down to Huntington Beach to see the folks at AAA Animal Hospital, and I would recommend going to see them! Their staff members are awesome and they have affordable health care for animals. Plus, they are next to the Orange County Humane Society on Newland St, so if you have the resources and you want a furry friend, go rescue one!

If you love your pet, take him to this animal hospital. The staff are very nice and friendly, and they know how to take care of your pet very well!

Dr. K. Abdelmalek was absolutely wonderful. He was very patient, kind-​hearted, and compassionate as we had to put our dear pet to sleep. He was incredibly reassuring that we had made the right (even though heartbreakingly tough) decision and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I was very impressed with all the staff. My only reason for not giving them 5 stars was the phone time I was on hold was REALLY long. I probably called at an extremely busy time, but they might need an additional phone person on Saturdays. THANKS again for compassionate, professional, competent service at a very fair price.

So thankful of their new hours. The staff is amazing. So helpful and caring. Brought my little one in because her back went out. They worked her up gave some medication and off we went. Awesome service!!!

Been coming to AAA Animal Hospital off Newland for about 2 and a half years now. Really friendly staff and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pet hospital to any of my friends! Come here with your pet and have confidence that you will be treated right.

I have been coming here for the past 26 years. Dr B and the crew are just the best.
Very kind, considerate, and grateful for having them here in HB.

Thank you so much AAA for being fast, friendly, and gentle. My wait time was short. (Although it is a walk in clinic I got lucky) I was in-​n-​out of there in an hour. All for a VERY reasonable price. I look forward to visiting again.

Took my aggressive dog here for the first time and it will not be his last time here! I have never had such a good experience! The staff was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much everyone!

I brought my puppy here for the first time to get her shots/​roundworm/​etc and it was a great visit! The staff are very nice and helpful. The Doctor I got was extremely kind. Pricing is affordable and you don’t have to call for an appointment. A quick and smooth visit for me.

Free exam if you ck in Unilocal.I will keep writing my review after she is done with her dental cleaning. Thx

Staff is friendly and the clinic is very affordable! I paid $ 160 for my kittens set of shots and it’s half the price here…$ 85. Will be back for any future visits :)

I’ve only been here one time and I normally go to the Magnolia Animal Hospital, but I will hesitate bringing little Ninja back here. I will admit the surgery I took him in for went fine, but very long recovery process!
On Saturday, I took little Ninja to the dog park. He was running around with other dogs, and he got bit! I didn’t even see the blood until I got home and my bf saw Ninja had a little bit of blood. We thought it was a small cut, so we figured he’ll slowly heal. When I was playing with him the next day, Sunday, he didn’t want to move, and he didn’t even want to go for his walk! And that never happens. He didn’t want to eat or move. Very out of character. That’s when I called Magnolia Animal Hospital. Since they were closed on Sunday, they forwarded my call to AAA Animal Hospital. I didn’t want to wait until Monday to bring Ninja into Magnolia Animal Hospital, so I figured I’ll give them a try.
They’re a walk in clinic and you don’t necessarily need an appointment. Either way, I got Ninja ready and headed over on a Sunday afternoon. It was a little busy but they took Ninja in within 15 minutes or so, no problems. I filled out some paperwork since it was his first time there. We waited in the lobby, and later the nurse or doctor came out and told us Ninja has a pretty big/​deep bite and there was pus starting to form in the injury, and he needed to get surgery today. We signed some additional legal paperwork to start the surgery and pay the $ 200 for the procedure (total bill from that day ended up being over $ 400 for a bite injury). They said it will be a long wait (about 2 hours or so), so we gave them our number to call when ready.
We got a call roughly 2 hours later, and came by to pick him up. He had stitches and 4 drains. As a first time dog owner, this hurt seeing ninja like that. They gave us some precautions — no excessive playing, no running, no playing fetch, no food or water for today, how long to wear his cone and how to give him his medicine, and all that stuff. They said the puss will be coming out the drains and if any swelling appears, let the doctor know and that type of stuff. She also said 3 days later, they can remove the drains and 2 weeks later, remove the stitches.
Since that was Sunday, I figured the drains will be removed by Wednesday. I called Magnolia Animal Hospital to make an appt for drain removal on Wednesday night. There was pus coming out, and dried blood, and just about anything coming out of the drains. It was pretty bad. We tried cleaning it with cotton balls and water, but it didnt do a lot to help. Especially if we had work and came back, the dried blood was a lot. I even called AAA to see if there was anything we can do, and they said it’s normal for the blood to be draining out.
Then when I took Ninja to get the drains removed Wednesday night at Magnolia Animal Hospital, Dr Aziz told me I should have been cleaning it this whole time and because of all the dried blood, we can’t remove the drains tonight. I was so shocked to hear because I was given no instruction to clean the drains at all. Dr Aziz asked if anyone taught me how to clean the drains or if I knew that would really slow down his healing process. I had no idea, and I was about to start crying. Not really, but I was ready to help little Ninja out of his pain as soon as possible, and got angry that this was not explained to me during check out! Dr. Aziz proscribed me stronger pain medication (so I ended up having to pay for 2 sets of painkillers), and a local anesthetic spray for ninja, so it will be less painful when I clean him. He also taught me to use hydrogen peroxide instead of water because that cleans the dried blood a lot better! There was also charges to the additional labor charges to clean Ninja, additional exam fee, and anesthetic to help calm him down for Dr Aziz to asset Ninja.
So by Wednesday night, I left a second vet with another $ 170 bill on top of my $ 400+ bill from AAA, and no drains removed! I started doing what Dr. Aziz said, but it wasn’t until the following Thursday night that I got all of the drains removed!!! That means the drains were in for an ADDITIONAL WEEK because AAA didn’t teach me to help heal Ninja properly. I just feel like I could have saved a lot of time and money if I went to Magnolia Animal Hospital in the first place and avoided AAA! But 2 stars because the surgery went fine, so I am not complaining about that, but more so the lack of communication to help Ninja after the surgery!

I brought my cat to AAA for the first time on 2÷20÷16. The staff and Drs were helpful and empathetic. The Drs were knowledgeable and explained everything to me in great detail.
I would highly recommend this vet. Their prices and service are awesome. They made my cat comfortable and put me at ease.

The staff here are great. I’ve talked to them several times and they’re very down to earth and helpful. I don’t know why so many people complain about them but I’m guessing that their desire for animal companionship is probably cus they’re jerks to people.
It’s affordable and quick, many visits don’t require an appointment. There can be a bad wait at times but welcome to the world of medicine.

i have been going to this place for 5 years now and I always had a ok experience, since my cats are young and I just took them there once a year to get their annual check up and shots. But recently one of my cats got urinary track infection and this time I experienced what the rest of people who wrote bad reviews are talking about. They recommended 3 or four expensive test to treat a urinary track infection I only agreed to blood test which the result confirmed that it was in fact urinary track infection. They told me for fast result they would inject him the antibiotic instead of giving him orally (which cost $ 50 for the shot).
After 4 or 5 days, I didn’t see any improvement in my cat’s condition, I called them several times and they said it takes up to a week to see result. I had to take him back after a week because the my poor baby was still suffering. this time the vet recommonded to do all the tests that I refused to do the first time since they had to see what else was causing this. i have a strong feeling that my cat was not even injected with antibiotic the first time, just to drag me over a second time to do more useless tests that still proved it was only a urinary track infection. The only reason I belive he never got injection the first time is that as soon as I gave him his med orally he improved with in 24 hours. My cat simple urinary track infection cost me over $ 400 to treat, with a simple antibiotic the vet prescribed the second time to give him at home.
Their service has gotten really bad over years too, Their exam rooms are dirty and smells like urine. I waited 2 hours each time to be seen by the vet.
People trust you with the their animals life and their well being, as a business owner I don’t like to write bad reviews for other businesses but I am very disappointed in the integrity and your business ethics.

I first came here in May when I wanted a second opinion when my doxie wasn’t doing well. My doxie (Ruby) had been seen and treated by all of the doctors here, and I was so impressed! They must take fantastic notes, bc each doctor knew what was going on and was sensitive to it. I made the hardest decision of my life when I put her down, after weeks of treatment and zero improvement. She was 11, and in poor health.
I received the sweetest card from AAA, signed by all the staff. Literally moved me to tears! Not to mention when I went to pick up her ashes, I was blown away by the card, the extras that were included (her paw print in clay), and a snippet of her fur. Amazing service. Wonderful doctors!
A few long weeks later, we brought home a boxer puppy. Otis. He has been here for shots, neutering, and a surgery to have a lump removed from his back.
Dr. B, Dr. K, and Dr. Rizk are all fantastic! I’m a little excessive with constant visits and calls to make sure everything is normal and fine with Otis’ recovery. They are kind and patient and take amazing care of my boy.
I literally can’t say enough great things about this place! It is also AMAZING that they are open 7 days and have great hours! Did I mention that they are really reasonable with pricing? Amazing!
I seriously will never! Ever! Go to another vet. I am so thankful knowing my puppy is in such caring, and great hands!

I had a great experience here today. The staff was amazing. They sure know how to run an efficient office. The Dr and staff we’re great with my kittie trinket.
She had been bouncing off the walls for days and I couldn’t find a vet near by that could take trinket on a Saturday afternoon. I didn’t want to wait till Monday she was going nuts. I walked in and they took her, treated her and bathed her for fleas. She’s so much happier now. Thank you for being open till 5 on Saturdays.

Aaa is amazing, hands down. I’ve been coming here for a few years and by far for vax and wellness checks and even flea medicine for our kittens it’s been the most affordable I’ve come across. It’s extremely clean (and I say this with an emphasis) and well taken care of, so you are getting more than you pay for. The girls who work here are very sweet, it’s a busy hospital so give them some slack and yes they are always SLAMMED with people, it is walk in so be prepared to wait or go early. The doctor I have seen twice now is very nice the techs are always very caring and kind to my babies along with the reception staff. I even spilled my coffee like a dummy trying to carry my kitty and coffee and the one of the receptionist refused to let me clean it up and did it for me which was very kind. Great wonderful staff!
Spay/​neuter is also very affordable and went by with absolutely no problems. I bring my two new kittens and dog here and we will continue to come here.
I recommend this hospital to anyone who wants to keep their pets healthy and up to date.
Please remember spay/​neuter your pets.
