Yorba Lake Pet Clinic

Dear Dr. Bae at Yorba Lake Pet Clinic,
My name is Frankie and I just saw you… I’m the puppy only 9 months old that was feeling pretty sick the other day. My Mommy and Daddy were really worried about me and when they couldn’t get me in to see my regular vet, they turned to Unilocal for Help (haha, I rhymed that on purpose because I’m clever… I mean look at me typing with my paws).
Anyway, if you’re having trouble remembering me, I was the one that got really scared when it was my turn to get on the scale and laid down on the floor, stiff as a board and refused to move. My Mommy had to carry my 50.2 pound self on to the scale (that’s how we know I’m over 50 pounds now) then into the room where when the door shut, I was just fine. You were so nice to me when you checked me out and I think you gave my Mommy a lot of good advice because with my medicine and different diet, I felt way better! And thanks for setting my Mommy & Daddy straight when they brought me back in because they were still worried about me… it was nice to see you again and they were particularly impressed because there was NO charge for a re-​check!
My Mommy and Daddy are so happy with the care here, that now they don’t know what to do… stay with our current vet which is kind of far away or move here which is right down the street. Lucky for me I’m only a puppy and don’t have to worry about anything but looking cute.
Thanks again for taking such good care of me!
Sincerely,
Frankie the Dog

Dr Bae is the most caring vet you will find, do not hesitate to go to her! Our cat became very sick and Dr Bae really went above and beyond to do everything possible for her. In the end it was a terminal condition but the experience was as good as it possibly could be and we now have a vet for life. There are a lot of vets to choose from but you cannot do better.

Just had an office vaccine clinic visit with Dr. Bae. The doctor and the staff are friendly. My dog was treated with DHPP annual vaccine, Bordetella in biannual VX, Rabies K9 3 year vaccine. The total bill was $ 40.99. With most inexpensive price my dog had for the last 12 years and the friendly service we received, we will be back.

Dr. Bae and the staff are wonderful! I have nothing but great things to say about this clinic. I first heard of this location because they had the most affordable dental cleaning package — prices are outrageous in some of the facilities I have researched in the area. In addition, they have clinic pricing on vaccinations on Saturdays which make immunizations for all of my pets very affordable. I recently had a scare with my cat (kidney failure), and Dr. Bae was able to make her better after several days of fluid therapy. She recommended some great products for my cat (and she has been on it ever since) and thankfully she is on the mend. I recommend this place because they have great pricing on just about everything (including vaccinations) and especially for dental. I take my dogs here for non-​anesthetic dental cleaning.

I had to put my pet to sleep after 13 years and the treatment we both got at this Clinic was horrific. I’m standing their crying and this person comes in and asks if I wanted to ‘settle up”. When that didn’t go over very well she left and two assistants came in and manhandled her to give her a shot to put her to sleep. Please, go elsewhere if you care about your pet.

I’m the president of ART N PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE.
I talk with or visit this clinic almost every day regarding the animals in my rescue.
Dr Bea is a very different kind of vet. She is caring and loving to all animals and very knowledgeable. I trust her to care for my personal pets as well as all my rescue animals .
The staff over at Yorba lake are great. They are happy to answer questions, very helpful, polite and friendly.
Their prices are great too!
I used to live in Corona… moved to Murrieta and I still drive to Yorba Lake Animal Clinic. Also all my volunteers drive there as well.
Highly recommended !!!
My advise is to ignore the negative comments. I have worked with them for years and there is no other Clinc that is as good them.
They have treated and saved the lives of so many of our rescue animals and saved my own deathly ill dog from pancreatitis. I am so grateful for the excellent care they give.

I am submitting a claim of a falsified Health Certificate that Dr. Bae signed on a dog from San Bernadino County stating that that she certified that the animal described above and on continuation sheets, if applicable, have been INSPECTED by me on this date and appear to be FREE of any INFECTIOUS OR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES and to the best of my knowledge, exposure thereto, which would endanger the animal or other animals or would endanger public health.
This is a criminal falsehood. The dog had to be euthanized on 11/​19/​2014. The dog was seen on 11/​15/​2014 by a vet in Kamloops, BC. The dog was horribly emaciated (no fault of CA vet not shelter), had stage II heart murmer, was listless, wheezing, and covered in fleas. Diagnosis was Kennel Cough & Pneumonia with severe congestion that breath sounds were not audible! This dog should NOT have gone on transport & probably wouldn’t have had he been correctly diagnosed.

Thank you Dr. Bae and your caring staff for letting me spend time with my Lil Lola when she passed. I’ll never forget your kindness. Wonderful staff and great service!

Had my dog Misae (my-​say) spayed here today, they were informative helpful and very sweet! Loved the results I know my baby will be feeling great soon, they drew a picture of my dog on her medicine bag that I didn’t notice until now so so sweet. I will be going back for all my doggie needs!

I can’t say enough good things about this vet so far. I have only had one of my dogs seen once, but it was a really good experience. Amazing staff, extremely knowledgeable and friendly doctor, and very fair prices. My female pug got a deep scratch on her eye back in November. I took her to another vet at the time who charged me a grip and didn’t do enough. Needless to say it never healed. She was squinting and had a discharge coming from her eyes (apparently she got another scratch on the other eye as well just not as severe as the first). She took a great deal of time to explain her problem and treatment to me and I love the way she was with my dog. It has been 5 days since she was seen and her eyes are looking so much better and she acts like she feels so much better. I’m hoping we can get this fixed for good this time and I am confident that Dr. Bae is committed to making that happen. She showed true and legitimate concern for my dog. I won’t hesitate to take all of my dogs to her and I have already recommended her office to friends and family. Also, while I was writing this review I received a phone call from them regarding scheduling a recheck for my dog. Now THAT is customer service!

THANK YOU so much Dr. Bae, Amanda, Emily and Katie! Saturday my dog was in labor but after delivering one puppy I felt there was problems so I took her to my local vet who did an ultrasound and xray. They said her pup was breached and she needed a c section asap — They were not able to do the surgery since they close early on Saturdays. I called Amanda and she told me to come as soon as I could and Dr Bae would do the surgery. These wonderful people did not look at the clock and worry about what time to lock the doors… they rushed my baby into surgery and delivered all 4 remaining puppies!!! I have been going to Yorba Lake for over a year and have never seen another clinic/​vet with such accommodating, caring, wonderful people! Thank you all for what you did for Jewell and her babies

We chose this clinic based of the Unilocal reviews to spay our puppy. Although I was pleased by Dr. Bae’s work, I was quite concerned about the treatment of my pet by the technicians. I could not help but notice that my puppy smelled as if she’s been rolling around in her own urine all day! Now, I understand that a puppy who is held up in a cage for over 6 hours must urinate in his/​her cage; however, I strongly believe that it is up to the technicians to thoroughly clean them up before their departure.
So, I have called them requesting some sort of a clean-​up bath free-​of-​charge because I felt like the quality was lacking. To my surprise, the receptionists denied my request until I have spoken with a manager. To make matters worse, I was told that I would have to schedule an appointment for her bath! ALSO, they were being very defensive and kept repeating that my pet was cleaned up with shampoo, when CLEARLY my pet did not smell a hint of shampoo.
Now, if I were working at a front desk, I would be well aware that I am representing a clinic that promises best results and happiness of the pets. If I were truly concerned about the patients, I would INSIST on bringing back the pet right away so that they can perform a better job… not ask the clients to re-​schedule for an appointment .
All in all, I believe that Dr. Bae should hire a better staff, because as far as customer service and quality is concerned I would not advise ANYONE to visit this clinic.
Rule number 1 in business: You NEVER imply that the client is wrong and NEVER deny the right service. I am typically appalled by the manager. You should be fired, Amanda.

I am so impressed with the service they provide. I took my dog and cat in and the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and I didn’t have to wait forever like most vet clinics I’ve been to. The doctor is also friendly and I really felt everyone there cared a lot. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Bae, why do you have to be so far away from me?
My husband and I adopted our 4 legged baby, Bailey, from a local rescue group, Cuddly Canines. Bailey was a patient of Dr. Bae’s up until we finished all his puppy shots.
A quick rundown of the office before I continue my verbal love affair with Dr. Bae. Parking is plentiful and the staff is fantastic. I’m sorry I don’t remember everyone’s name but they LOVE animals. The office has an office cat and the staff also fosters pets. That tells you something about how they will treat your beloved pet.
The office is clean, simple and cozy.
On to Dr. Bae and why I wish I could relocate her to wherever I am living forever. She is simply awesome. When Bailey was a tiny puppy, around 7 weeks old, his awesome foster mom noticed his face was swollen. Fearing that he was bitten by a spider, she rushed him over to Dr. Bae. Dr. Bae examined him and was able to diagnose him correctly with a very rare autoimmune disease. Thanks to Cuddly Canine’s awesome foster mom and Dr. Bae, Bailey was diagnosed quickly, accurately and his treatment was successful.
Dr. Bae’s services are EXTREMELY affordable. Actually, it’s kind of surprising how affordable her 5 star care is. Another thing I love about her, her staff and her practice is that they do not try to up-​sell you on ANYTHING for your pet. Never have they recommended unnecessary tests on our Bailey nor have they pushed me to vaccinate him against everything known to man (it was my decision to do so after I compared his vaccinations online and realized there were «extra» vaccines I could give to protect Bailey).
Dr. Bae comes out personally after every examination of Bailey to explain to me what she sees, what her thoughts are and what her concerns /​plan of treatment is. She is very thorough, takes the time to answer all my questions and is very very patient. Bailey just loves her and her staff.
I love her, her office and her practice so much, I would routinely drive every week from Los Angeles to Yorba Linda so that she could continue to treat Bailey while he was sick. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for me anymore and I’m sad she can’t continue to be Bailey’s vet.
But if you’re lucky enough to live within reasonable driving distance from her practice, consider Dr. Bae as your pet’s vet.

We had a vet that we loved. Unfortunately he closed his neighborhood office and started an animal hospital. Going to the vet now became more like going to Walmart only with higher prices. I selected Yorba Lake Pet Clinic to be our new vet. It was close to home and the prices were more than reasonable. Routine visits were all that took place for the first year. The staff was very friendly, there weren’t the 30 minute waits in the examining room, and the doctor showed a real interest in our two dogs. It wasn’t until one of our dogs got real sick. She was diagnosed with an ulcerated stomach and her weight went from 13.5 pounds to 8 pounds. She was forced feed multiple times a day. At 8 pounds we started to think she wasn’t going to make it. The vet suggested a second opinion. The dog was taken to the animal hospital in Tustin. Their team of experts confirm that the treatment program she was on was the right one. I went back to our vets feeling confident that our dog was in good hands. The dog was getting medicine multiple times during the day. One medicine was a large pill which I had trouble administering. The vet told me to bring the dog in and she would have her staff administer the pill. This went on for several weeks and all at no charge. If the vet was in the area when the dog was getting the pill, she gave the dog a quick check, again at no charge. My wife and I could not be more pleased with Yorba Lake Pet Clinic. For those that are interested, the dog is back to normal and her weight is 11 pounds. I highly recommend Yorba Lake Pet Clinic.

The vet is amazing, great surgeries, etc.
The staff is lacking though, They don’t return phone calls. They say they’ll call you back, than don’t. They can’t give an estimate without making you talk to the office manager who never calls back. Really unprofessional. Going to seek out a vet closer to me. You can be a wonderful vet but have a horrible staff & that will push people away.

Sometimes a desperate move yields a wonderful surprise. This is the case with Yorba Lake Pet Clinic.
My family and I fosters rescue dogs with a guideline of one dog at a time. This time around, we ended up with a dog that didn’t yet have a rabies shot. How can a responsible dog owner not get the dog a rabies shot? Great question. I would assume that the prior owner wasn’t responsible. Anyhow, enough rant. Suffice it to say that this new foster dog needed her shot before spending much time with our darling senior dog.
My usual vet was too busy to fit us in with little notice but when I called Yorba Lake Pet Clinic, they answered promptly, were very friendly, and said to come on by. So we did.
The staff was incredibly kind and took great care with our new foster. As a dog only 24 hours out of a high kill shelter, she was noticeably traumatized. Both the front counter staff, vet tech, and vet were all gentle with her and understanding when she looked too tense. Instead of chancing it, they were gentle in putting on a muzzle to give her a shot. When they took the muzzle off, they gave the dog lots of love to help her relax.
I’ll be going back for this foster dog’s booster shots. In addition, Yorba Lake Pet Clinic will become my regular for my fosters and a great back-​up for my permanent pet.
If you are looking to move to a new vet, I’d urge you to try this small and kind vet office. They have certainly earned my repeat business.

I have been to numerous vets in the Anaheim /​Yorba Linda area… Really love this one. They get you in and out and taken care of. Everything is straight forward and the prices are great! The service you get here for the price you pay definitely makes it worth it. I wouldn’t go anywhere else =)

Dr. Bae is honest, kind, very affordable, knowledgeable, competent, and patient. Although I am a bit neurotic when it comes to my son, Yoda, she has been very understanding and accommodating. A rare kind of vet who is not in it to just make money. She really does care.

By far the best vet and team I have experienced. No doubt that Dr. Bae and her staff really care. I went to paws and claws down the street and felt the dollar sign they saw on my head. Dr. Bae has honest affordable pricing and a practical approach to medical procedures. Care along with empathy and honest business make them stand out.
