Dr. Gaan is the the Best. I highly recommend dog moms and dog dads looking for the Best Veterinary Doctor in Orange County. Sonic and Bella was taken care of so gently with kindness, love and expertise. Maria, Kitty, Kristy and Maria were so wonderful and amazing with their warmth and tenderness. I will recommend all of my friends to Northwood Animal Hospital. Thank you so much Dr. Gaan! With warmest regards John Choi Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

Northwood Animal Hospital has treated several pets for me. My pets have not always enjoyed their experience, but I certainly have! The staff is caring and flexible about my pet's needs and that of their owner!

We trust Northwood Animal with caring for our dog so we made the drive from Menifee back to Irvine after being our vet in an emergency previously.

My bebe bunny Jameson and I looove the staff at Northwood Animal Hospital! Though it's located in a teeny tiny plaza, I love coming here because the customer service is amazing! Setting up an appointment is as easy as making a phone call. They'll ask if you're a new or returning member and then discuss reasons for your visit. For your first visit, they charge you 50% of the standard price which is great.
Due to Covid restrictions, only one person may accompany the pet into the room so family must wait in the lobby or in the car. Dr. Roberts is a very well-known vet who specializes in rabbits and she is super sweet! She always calls Jameson "the perfect size" and makes sure to give great pets and snuggles before finishing up the check-up. There is a new requirement to have the RHDV2 vaccine even for grooming services but since it's safer for your bunny, I opted for this anyway.
The vaccine is $45, the nail trim is $20-25, and the visit is $80-90 (can't remember). Overall, this is our primary choice in Orange County and I can't speak highly enough about how great the team is! (50/100--2022)
