Magnolia Animal Hospital

Love this place! This is the best place I have been to. Staff is very friendly and the doctors answered all my questions about my dog.

Always easy to make a reservation or to change a reservation. Staff is always very friendly. Doctor is great and knowledgeable, and great with pets. There’s a little jar of treats in the lobby for your kitties or puppies when you stop by.
Had to come here for little Ninja, he hurt his toe. We made an appointment, I called and they had an available spot for Saturday. I was running late that day and called an hour before the appointment, and they said no problem. Very flexible to our schedule. We got in and they weighted ninja, 31.6lbs! Then the nurse did a quick temperature test, said he was normal. And got to see the doctor within 10 minutes of our appointment. Even though it was a crazy day, Dr. Aziz still came by to treat Ninja, see what was wrong. Very helpful. Ninja had an injured toe, so he prescribed pain medication and antibiotics, and said we needed to come back for him to remove the broken toe since he didn’t have time to do it that day. He also prescribed a cone and bandaged up the foot. Since he was also hitting his 1 year mark to get his 2^nd round of rabies shots done, they did it that day too. And since it happened to be a Saturday, it was 20% off! Woo! I started getting a reminder in the mail a week or two ago, so I’m glad they remind you because I feel like most people would forget.
So with his medication, cone, bandage, and check up with the doctor, it came out to be right under $ 200. Luckily, his shots were discounted, and I received a «Free Exam» coupon in the mail awhile ago, and luckily I remembered to bring it in. It saved me $ 35 on the check up, so his shots were only about $ 12!
We came back to get his toenail removed, and Dr. Aziz had to take another look at his toe. He told us that his toe was injured, but it actually was not as bad as he thought it was. He said Ninja can heal on his own, it was more of a sprain. And that if it itches, we can give him the cortizone cream that we use. He says they sell it there, but it’s actually cheaper at CVS or something, so he recommended us going there, which I was surprised that he said that, but awesome doctor. We asked him a few more questions which he answered, and then we were off! They didn’t charge for the second exam, and we were very happy! Will be coming back for Ninja’s regular check ups.

The doctor has been more than helpful each time I brought my cat in for an abscess injury. He’s squeezed in an emergency visit even though he was pretty much booked until closing, so I was very grateful. The staff is really friendly and seem caring of all the animals. I have no complaints about this place. They’ve taken great care of my cats.

I really wished I could give this hospital 5 stars but the lack of communication and their discrepancy in information is rather angering. I want nothing but the best for my fur child and I defiantly feel the doctors here are thorough. However when it comes to getting prescription written up or picking up medicine it’s their Achilles heel. One person will tell you something is ready or that they’ll call you back but nothing is ever relayed or when you show up it’s this whole other circus to get something acomplished. So Magnolia Pet Hospital please get your communication and information relay straight because working a long day and sitting traffic then getting to your hospital and being told something different is not fun and really unacceptable.

I only went here a few times, but my experience was… meh.
Pros– close to my house, great hours, and great at diagnosing a problem and fixing it
Cons– the vet was rude, and my dog HATED going there– and my dog loves going to the vet
We went there for an ear infection, then a paw infection (my pup is a little high maintenance) and both times my dog was scared of the staff, who seemed indifferent to him (not really kind, or trying to make him comfortable, just kind of dragging him along) and the vet had a condescending tone when things didn’t go perfectly (the bandage on the paw came off and he told me «well, we discussed limiting his running. oh well). Seriously? I can’t stop my dog from running for three days! He’s a puppy! I was going to try bringing treats next time so maybe he would warm up to the staff, but I am not going to be spoken down to. Alas, I guess my search for a vet in Huntington Beach area continues…

Open until 10:00 pm on weekdays, extremely convenient for working people. They have always accommodated me when I call at the last minute. My husband & I spent a lot of time there when our cat was sick with the flu and the girls at the front desk were very friendly and supportive. We are fond of both doctors and they take time to answer all of our questions and never tried to «upsell» us as mentioned in another review. For folks who think this place is expensive– you don’t know what expensive is! Prices are very reasonable, take it from someone whose cat was inpatient.

Have been going here for a couple of years. I love the extended hours and that, regardless of how busy they are, they will always get you in the same day when necessary.
Staff is friendly and efficient, doctors are compassionate and very well informed.
Prices are reasonable and technology is up to par for the size of the hospital.
Overall, I would recommend without hesitation.

great place! never have to wait, my dog loves coming here! great service, the vet was very helpful!

I’ve been going here since my pit was a puppy and now she’s 5. The staff has always been so friendly and more than accommodating! Dr. Shokry always makes time in his schedule to see jada girl even when I call right before. When I bring her in the wait is never more than 5 – 10 minutes unlike other hospitals I’ve taken her to before. He is extremely knowledgable and truly cares about the health and well-​being of these animals. The only place I trust and would take my dog. Thank you magnolia animal hospital for all you do and taking such wonderful care of my girl! If you are worried about finding a good vet for your pet, one that you can trust and know that they are in good hands, magnolia animal hospital is the place! You won’t be disappointed!

I recently got my first dog and naturally I wanted to take her to the best vet there is around the area. My friend told me his dad takes his dogs here and so I decided to give them a try since their hours are great and they are so close to me. I called to make an appointment for a wellness exam and arrive promptly that day. When I got there, I stood there for about 5 minutes before the receptionist acknowledge me. There was only 2 other patients there that were both sitting down so here I am standing awkwardly in front of them and they couldn’t even offer at least one «Hi» or «I’ll be right with you.» I guess that should’ve given me the red flag but I still stuck with them. The vet assistant didn’t even seem to really like animals. She didn’t really talk to my dog to make her feel comfortable or acknowledge her. She made no conversation with me as she was checking my dog’s temperature. It was oddly quiet in the room. Not that I expect her to talk to my dog or make convo with me, but I am writing this review AFTER I have been to a few other animal hospitals and both my dog and I were treated in a better way. Just saying.
We saw Dr Aziz. Now I know sometimes first-​time dog owners can have a lot of questions and I bet these vets can see us from a mile away, but I am paying money so I expect ALL of your time. I wasn’t done asking questions yet when he was already halfway out the door. I felt rushed and kept saying «Wait, I have another question». That rubs me the wrong way. The whole time that he was actually there and present, I felt like I was being upsell on things. He insisted Queenie needed this test. or that she needed deworming. or shots. or flea treatment, etc. But if he had only asked me, he would find out she already has all that done recently, minus the test for giardia which I am okay with. So you try to upsell me but then you won’t give me all of your time to answer all of my questions? I was very disappointed with the service I received. This place seems all about money and not actually caring for the animals.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this place has help people and isn’t 100% bad but you better be ready to pay $$$$. My neighbors dog had a seizure and in a panic this was the closest place. He rushed in panicked with his lifeless dog and because he had NO MONEY they refused service! Is this place in it for money or care?! My other neighbor told her dog was older and she took her for a checkup. They ended up running a TON of tests and making her feel like her dog was dying when in the end nothing was wrong. This single mom of 2 asked if she could make payments on her $ 650 bill and instead of working with her they said if she didn’t make a 50% payment she couldn’t haven’t her dog back. They held her dog for ransom for payment! Are they in this for care or money? Glad I asked my neighbors before taking my dog here.

I’ve been through 3 animal hospitals within the first 6 months I had my dog because I felt like the past vets charged for anything and everything even when I asked if it was necessary.
This isn’t the case with Dr. Aziz. He will let you know tips and tricks to save money and looks at what’s best for your pet at its age and condition.
My dog had a slight entropion issue and the vets I went to said surgery is mandatory or else he will end up blind and their quotes were extremely high and out of my budget. At this point, I felt helpless and decided to take my dog to Magnolia Animal Hospital to see if there was another solution.
Dr. Aziz informed me surgery was not a good option since my dog was just a pup. Instead, he prescribed eye medication for my dog. After about a month on the eye meds and attending weekly check ups, Dr. Aziz informed me that his entropion issue wasn’t existent anymore. I felt extremely relieved that I didn’t have to put my pup through surgery and his eye issue was gone!
My dog still comes from time to time for his check ups and I never feel like I am paying for unnecessary procedures or medications. The ladies at the front desk are also always welcoming and helpful.

The main reason I go to this animal hospital is because it’s one of the few that open beyond 6PM. Most close between 5−6PM and that doesn’t help for those of us who work regular 9 – 5 jobs.
Admittedly they are on the expensive side and at times I feel like they try to add things that aren’t necessary.
That being said, I do find they do excellent work in caring for my pets whenever I bring them in. If they weren’t so expensive I would up it by 2 stars.

This place exceeded my expectations. I called them up on a Saturday morning seeing if they had any available appointments for the afternoon. Fortunately they did. I’m a first time per owner so I went in blind. The front office staff were super nice to me and my cat. Even though my cats a candidate to be featured on «My Cat From Hell.» Long story short, it’s a friendly affordable vet. Exactly what I was looking for. If you live in Fountain Valley and own a pet, go here. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic pet hospital! I just moved to the area and was very nervous about going to a new vet, but when my 3 year old cat came down with a nasty eye infection, I needed to make a quick decision and I am so glad I chose Magnolia. They saw me that night and the doctor was thorough and didn’t pressure any unnecessary exams or medication. The ladies at the front are so pleasant as well.
I adopted a kitten since moving to this area and they have taken good care of my little man. Doctors even asked about my other cat and how the eye infection was clearing up during the kittens exam. They seem to really care and I am more than pleased with Magnolia Pet Hospital.

We’re obviously frequent customers here and it’s only for one service. Both my pups now have to get their anal glands expressed monthly and despite having a pet plan and other discounts from school, we get the best price for this service here.
The customer service is always great and friendly. I call the morning of and they’re usually able to have me come in within the next hour or 2. We walk in, sign our name on the sheet, then in less than 5 minutes they take both babies back. I pay $ 16 each and they’re both ready to go! In and out within 20 minutes. Just the way I like it.
Thanks Magnolia! You guys keep my boos from scooting. Haha ;)

Fantastic vet! I took my dog to a highly rated vet in long beach from Unilocal but ended up with a very expensive misdiagnosis! Magnolia is great and Dr. Aziz took his time to explain what’s going on. He also made sure my 4 legged dude went home feeling better with some pain meds. The girls at the desk are extra sweet too.

The vet here really cares about the patients and gives extra information that will help to ensure a healthy life for your loved ones. He doesn’t push expensive treatments unless its absolutely necessary. The staff is very friendly and the place is affordable.
Absolutely making this place the hospital for my dog!

Highly recommended. The support staff is polite and extremely friendly. A few of them (Gabi, Laura, and Theresa) are exceptionally experienced, helpful and quite knowledgeable and will provide you with outstanding service and answers to some basic questions and info that most other places staffers reply with «IDK» or «I’ll have to ask a Dr. «. Even the «techs» there are friendly and helpful.
They’re open until 10pm during the week so the hours are fantastic. Dr Aziz and Dr Cavanaugh are very friendly, informative and competent. Dr Cavanaugh will sit and explain things until you are satisfied, or understand things. Rare! Dr. Aziz is likable, friendly, caring and very easy to talk to. Another rarity!
Even the after hours (closed) phones are routed to a place where the people who answer the phones are knowledgable, helpful and patient. A winning combination any way you slice it.
I would have to say the only drawback might be, that the Dr’s do «day shifts» or «night shifts» and rarely do both during the week. So if you have a Dr preference, or your pet has only seen a particular Dr., you may have to pay an «after hours fee» (after 6pm) just to see that Dr. if they’re not working the «day shifts» that week (s). Or if possible, you can wait until Saturday and hope that they’re working then. That issue aside, it’s THE BEST place I’ve experienced to date.
It’s comforting to know that when you take a 4 legged member of your family in to see the Dr., that you and your pet are treated so wonderfully at this establishment. A Win/​Win in my book!

I cannot express how displeased i am with this business. I used to take my dog here years ago when a different veterinarian worked there. Ever since the owner change I stopped coming here. Dr. Aziz tried to charge me 600 dollars for an ear infection and i never returned again.
Recently my two dogs were left in my backyard and attacked by some kind of animal. One of my dogs was bitten up and found nearly dead. Panicked, i went to my nearest hospital which is Magnolia hospital. They took him in right away. However, since I was in such a rush wasnt able to grab any of my things. The doctor refused to start operating until I paid at least half. When the doctor brought me back to review xrays and see how bad my dogs bite marks were he was very rude. Whenever I would ask him any questions he felt insulted. I had asked him if he could tell what kind of animal may have bit him and his response to me was, «it doesnt matter what bit him because now we need to deal with the problem.» Communication between doctor and client was poor. He didnt keep me updated and his heavy accent made things even more difficult.
My total bill came to be 800 dollars and my dog died. When paying so much money I want to understand and be comfortable with what im paying for and what is happening to my dog. After a long day of trying to save my dog I had to pay the other half however didnt have enough money for the long list of «things that needed to be done» The front desk reads of literally what the paper says and doesnt explain anything more. After telling them i didnt have the money they made it difficult but slowly began cutting things and saying, «we dont need this, we dont need that» one of the things was to send bloodwork out to be examined. Why did i need to pay for bloodwork to be examined AFTER my dog has died?
My other dog had only a small dog bite and they kept insisting i bring him in here, however I drove him to AAA Animal Hospital where the staff is friendly and the veterinarian throroghly explains everything. I would have brought my first dog here if I had the time to drive out there.
SERIOUSLY, I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!
TERRIBLE SERVICE AND AT A HIGH PRICE!!!
