17th Street Animal Hospital

We have been bringing our dogs here for a long time. The vets are amazing and supportive, especially when our fur babies had terminal diagnoses. When quoted for an unexpected surgery to the time of payment, the price remained the same, even with our baby having an extended stay due to complications. Fair and reasonable. The wait is the only reason for 4 stars but knowing they care and take their time with every patient, it’s worth the wait.

The value that Dr. Coghlan gives to the community is that he is real and makes you feel comfortable despite the outcome of your pet’s health. He builds trust, rapport and a safe environment for all the needs of my pets.
He ensures the safety and security for my pets by providing responses and professional pet services with compassion and concern.
Thank Dr. COGHLAN for your awesome dedication and for 15 years of great service. You and your staff are a blessing to the community of Santa Ana, CA.

I came here with my cat during a very hard time when he needed to be put down. Everyone was very helpful during this hard time. Great hours even on Saturday and I am happy that they were able to provide the care and respect my cat needed. I would highly recommend coming here for all of your pet care as they seem to truly care about the animals they treat as much as you do.

I came in to get dental work and teeth extraction done on my dog. The price came out to half other clinics I called (including blood work). I was a little skeptical at first but after a little research, I decided to go with it. Definitely no price gouging, very reasonable, if not generous!!! I was very impressed with their whole operation process, my dog seemed very happy and in no pain, not drowsy and out-​of-​it like the last place I went to. I’d give them 5 for the pricing and the surgical aspects, but a 2 for carefulness because docs for the teeth extracted were not marked correctly, threw me off because I knew 2 incisors had to be removed but a premolar was marked instead. After a check, it was just an error on the papers but totally preventable, hopefully I will return to this clinic.

Our four-​legged friend was very ill, this place was suggested to us by a neighbor. I wish we didn’t go there to save some money. It was hard to breathe in there, and very impersonal. We actually left the place I went to different location.

Affordable??? This place is all about money! They do not care about your animals! They rather have them die unless you write them a check or they aren’t busy with other clients. A dog is hit by a car and dying and the lack of urgency and the demand for payment is beyond my belief. I would only take my dog somewhere where I know they would give them the best care. If you don’t care about your animals take them here. This is a zero star by the way.

This animal hospital was recommended to me by a neighbor about two years ago, and I’ve been going ever since. I’ve had my dogs treated by all four of the vets and haven’t had major issues with any of them. Dr. C. has been very knowledgeable about my Dachshund mix’s skin issues, even pinpointing a reaction to the standard Rabies vaccine and determining a medically sound solution. Dr. Weber likewise has been excellent with my Pomeranian; he has the best bedside manner of the entire staff. Dr. Gonzalez came across as very caring and figured out that my Pom’s breathing trouble was actually a reverse sneeze from allergies. The allergies have been under control from then on. Dr. Vidadi is the only one who I wouldn’t prefer to treat my dogs again. He performed a dental with anesthesia on my Pom, and while my Pom came out of the procedure okay, he had the dirtiest butt! I realize this is more of a vet tech duty, but as the manager on-​duty, Dr. V. should have seen to it that it wasn’t overlooked. I also would think that extracted teeth would not be automatically thrown away. Lesson learned – I’ll specify prior to all future dentals. The good thing was that they didn’t gouge me on the price.
The front desk staff is hit-​or-​miss. I’m unimpressed with the middle-​aged Asian lady and the young Hispanic woman. The rest of them are decent.
And as for the probation on Dr. C’s record with the CA Veterinary Medical Board, if you read both documents, you’ll see that the violations have nothing to do with patient care. Yes, they are shameful, but nowhere in the docs is there a mention of animal mistreatment.

I was recommended to this hospital by my neighbor who had raved about this place being so affordable and that the staff was awesome. Well I would like to disagree very highly.
My dog has been peeing all over the house and so my family decided it was a good idea to take her in to see what was wrong with her. My sister called the hospital and told the lady what was wrong with our dog and she said to come in so the doctor can check her out. My sister takes our dog in and walks through the door and the receptionist said that they were closed until 4pm. It was 12 o’clock when she took her in. My sister walked right out and did not want to return because of that reason.
We found a BETTER animal hospital in orange called OC animal medical center and they were amazing. My dog ended up having hypothyroidism and has a skin condition because of the hypothyroid.
Last year we took our dog to see Dr. Webber for her skin condition and he said it was flea dermatitis because she had fleas because of our backyard that has roaming cats that aren’t even ours. Anyways he shot her up with steroids 3 different times and gave us a conditioner and to bathe her 3x a week. He didn’t even try to take her blood because that is how our new vet found that out. Well after doing all of that for months her skin got worse. So when we tried to take her in last tuesday, we were rejected because they were «closed?» What kind of service is that?
And on top of that two years ago Dr. Webber said our dogs ears needed to be cleaned and she needed to be sedated and that she would be fine after. Well we didn’t even get a simple phone call saying she was ok and to come and pick her up. I had to do all of the work and call them. So once I picked her up after getting her ears cleaned I called my dog to go outside and she just ignored me and the doctor said she wouldn’t be able to hear because they had to go deep down to get all of the crap out of her ears. That’s all fine and dandy but it lasted for 1 years and 6 months!!! I called and he said to give it time. How deep did you go for my dog not to be able to hear for so long.
If I were you I would go directly to The OC Animal Medical Center. The staff is very knowledgeable and are very welcoming.

9÷20÷15 update: i sued james coghlan owner of this hospital, and i won!!! not only did he show up 1 hour late to the court hearing (showing a huge disrespect for the court), but he tried to blame his staff and somehow me for his botched work, but the judge called him out on it since he was the one who did the bad surgery. i wrote to the defendant asking for payment, but he didn’t pay me. so i filed a lean with the court against him and his property. if he thought i was going to go away — he was wrong!
WONDER HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THEM TO REALIZE — They have been using a picture of one of MY CATS as their ‘ Unilocal MAIN PROFILE PICTURE’. The picture of the calico inside my brown/​white checkered carrier is of my kitty.

Dr. Webber is amazing !!! However the TWO stars goes to the front office staff! Lack of empathy and emotion. If it wasn’t for Dr. Webber I would never return! So disappointed.

Love them! They are so sweet to my babies, you can tell they genuinely love animals. Great customer service. They take pet insurance and they even mail a personalized magazine. My babies are very well taken care of here! :)

Dr Weber is the best vet in the world! He has been the only one who has been able to control my dogs skin allergies and skin issues. I have been to 3 other vets offices, I even went to the fancy dermatologist on Edinger street and they did nothing but make his allergies worse. Then we met Dr Weber and it has been all peace for my doggie and for us, no more scratching until he rips out his fur or until he bleeds! Thank you Dr Weber you are the best!!! His compassion and love for all our pets is like no other. If he is not scheduled to work on a day I need an appointment I will wait for the next time he is there.

Best place to bring your pets they are good with them and take there time and talk to you about why you are there and more thank you so much. We been coming here for five years. It’s clean and here and it does not smell see you soon

If you need an affordable veterinarian go here, hands down. I drive 25 miles just to go here. I couldn’t afford my old vet anymore so I researched and found this place. I truly can’t thank the Vets and staff at 17^th street animal hospital enough. They aren’t just affordable, they are VERY experienced and caring. Dr. Weber went above and beyond to figure out what my pups ear problem was when 3 other vets had never seen that issue. Most of the time we had to make same or next day appointments, but the never turned us away. Even when they were booked they try to squeeze you in. We have met 4 different vets working here and I’ve been blown away by all of them. They really care about helping your pet more than how much they can charge and even waived the exam fee when I had to come back a few days later.
Words just aren’t enough, but THANK YOU.

I spent hours doing my research for my baby malti-​poo. Vets tend to overcharge specifically for dental cleanings. This hospital is extremely reasonably priced AND they have non-​anesthetic alternative for deep cleans which is much safer for your pup.
They don’t require blood works if your dog is under 4 years old which made sense. We were in and out within 30 – 40 minutes and my dog hasn’t been happier about her breath and teeth!
Staff there is really nice and friendly too which is always a bonus. They make you feel safe so you aren’t as worried when you are handing over your dog.

They dropped the ball hard on my visit! My dog was not feeling well and when they gave her back to js, they lost her chain and harness. How do you lose both and give her back with what a rope? And then they had the nerve to give us another chain that they probably lost to another patient. What the he’ll is going on at this place. Never want to go back to this place, I don’t care if they are really afordable. if I could I would give no stars.

Dr. Webber is amazing. I took Hazelnut there before due to a bad case of diarrhea. She now has been throwing up non-​stop since last night due to mess she’s on that another vet gave her. I spoke to Dr. Webber on the phone and he is still very kind and patient… He told me to come in if I wanted to her to get a shot to help stop the vomiting until I see the other vet Monday about getting a refund on the mess that’s making her feel ill… I think if she vomits one more time… She will be going to Dr. Webber going forward.

I f you need a caring, knowledgeable, honest vet, go to Dr. Weber. He has been nothing but outstanding towards my baby pit Harvi, me, and my financial situation. I have had immediate service right as I walk in each time I’ve visited. The receptionist are helpful and caring. It is always very clean and Dr. Weber always has a smile on his face. Thank you for doing surgery on my dog the same day I called in. She is so happy and Feels %100 better! Thank you Dr. Weber and 17^th St Animal Hospital for everything!

These guy and gals are great. My Amstaff got a really bad ear infection and allergic reaction to something g and everyone was closed because of the holiday. They let me do a walk in and made sure my puppy was comfortable. Thank everyone!

Dr. Coghlan has been practicing for decades and i only trust the team here to touch my Yorkie Yobo& morkie Boba for shots, preventative care & surgery.
Been going here for years and trust Dr. C, Dr Vendadi, vet tech Emilio & Abraham with my 17 year old yorkie Yoyo & Bobo for all their dental needs as well. The staff Gaby & Jenny are truly professionals that really care, they go above and beyond to answer all your annoying questions on the phone, if they don’t know, they find out, if youre worried, they reassure you and give you a solution. its clear the owners here know how to hire only the best staff to take care of your 4 legged loved ones. Dr. Coghlan added 4 more years of life to my 17 year old yorkie. Without the team here, my fur balls would be in poor health. They know what they’re doing. If you want that unconditional love i suggest you invest in bringing in your pets here for preventative care. I drive all the way from Torrance to Santa Ana to make sure my little kids are well taken care of. Heck, it helps that they’re affordable reasonably priced too. No need to break the franklins to get your furballs the healthcare they need!
