Advanced Veterinary Care Center

My dog Lahki was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur and in conjunction had a collapsing episode. I was worried and decided to seek a cardiologist to find out exactly what was going on with her heart. We saw Dr. Zimmerman and she was fantastic, she spent about an hour explaining what was going on with Lahki’s heart. She even drew a diagram. Yes, it is expensive, but unfortunately if you want the most advanced testing in veterinarian medicine you’re going to have to pay for it. I for one am grateful for Dr. Zimmerman, the wonderful staff and the peace of mind that they gave me.

2,000 dollars to find out if my cat has a problem. 140 for the Dr. to read the labs from another vet. The Dr says that if cost is an issue than you shouldn’t own an animal. We’ve spent 3,100 so far and nobody can tell us a problem. They just put their hand out and say pay more. If you’re so compassionate about animals than try helping the animals out by making it somewhat affordable. Wonder how many range rovers are parked in your driveway at the cost of a the dead animals that can’t help themselves. Embarrassing

I’m typing from an iPad, so forgive my brevity, but … Dr. Morrison’s care and the time he spent with us understanding our personal situation, as well as our pet’s care, was beyond any of our expectations and experiences ever before! Don’t hesitate — go to Advanced Veterinary Care!

Dr. TJ Morrison has been treating my 9-​year-​old cat, Otis, who has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Our general veterinarian (equally awesome – Dr. Harner at Irvine Pet Complex) referred us here. Otis’ original prognosis when he was diagnosed in late June 2011 was 3 – 6 months, but with Dr. Morrison’s help here we are in December and he’s doing amazingly well.
Office visits, exams and tests can be expensive, but this isn’t the kind of place you take your pet for grooming and vaccinations. These are some serious veterinarians, all of which are board certified in their specialty.
You need to be prepared to be actively involved in your pet’s treatment. Understand their disease, monitor their behavior (and vital signs if needed), and don’t be afraid to ask questions. The first visit/​assessment is an hour, so they’re willing to take the time with you. You can even call in between appointments if you have any concerns.
