I have been taking my pets to Animal Medical center for almost twenty years, first with my sick cat for his monthly injections when AMC was just doing injections and spay/neuter. Now, and for the last several years they have been a full service vet and the care we have received there has always out-shined any other vet. We've sent friends and family to AMC and everyone has had great experiences. They are honest, caring, friendly, skilled, and have a genuine concern for the well fare of animals. Dr. Kendrick, the owner of Animal Medical Center, has been our vet through thick and thin, when our diabetic chihuahua Billy had had enough of his sickness Dr. Kendrick put him to sleep with such care and a gentle touch, though it was painful for us he made the process as smooth as possible. When I bring Billy's 14 year old sister in for her check-ups, no matter how busy they are, Dr. Kendrick always takes an extra moment to pet Honeygirl and tell her what a good girl she is. He always remembers her and tells me how much he likes her every time we go in. The wait can be a little long during busy hours but if you get there when they open at 8am you'll be in and out before you know it. Even when the wait is long it's worth it to know that you're baby is in good hands. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to my family and friends and will never stop taking my babies there. Sometimes it doesn't matter how great the care is, you just can't afford it, well Animal Medical has that covered too. The have the best prices I have ever seen. With them there is no excuse for not taking excellent care of your pets, they make it soo easy. Hope this one helps.

I recently had a terrible experience at the Animal Medical Center in Fountain Valley which upset me very much. I wrote a letter of complaint and received a very nice response (a phone call) from Dr. Kendrick regarding the incident in which he apologized for his staff and said that it looks like a meeting is due with his staff. I think Dr. Kendrick is a wonderful vet and have been going to this Animal Hospital for many years...lately I have noticed some of the staff as being very rude, which is a surprise to me since they have always been so very helpful and caring in the past. The new staff should take some lessons from the staff who have been there for a while. I will continue to take my animals at this Hospital only because of the care and compassion of Dr. Kendrick.

I have used this vet clinic for over 20 years. It used to be GREAT. However, since the new owner took over it is awful. Staff is rude & uncaring, and there ability to schedule appointments is horrible. Use only if you can't afford another vet, as besides the cost they are terrible!

My wife and I (and our pets)had a great experience at Animal Medical Center. Dr. Kendrick is a wonderful veterinarian. He was very kind and compassionate with our dog and cat and provided excellent care. We had seen many other veterinarians for our dog's skin condition and Dr. Kendrick provided the best advice and his treatment worked very well. The prices are affordable too!!! His staff was very professional and friendly and treated us with respect.

I went with a friend to have her dog put to sleep. I was told that no appointment was needed and that euthanasia patients were seen quickly ahead of other patients. They kept their promise and we were taken into the exam room as soon as the paperwork and payment were done. A blanket was ready for the dog and both the staff and vet seemed compassionate. The only (BIG) negative was that the vet missed the dog's vein a few times trying to give the injection - causing the dog and his “mommy” extra suffering.

I have been taking my animals to Animal Medical Center for about 20 years. Prior to Dr. Kendrick's reign, it was an excellent veterinary office. The vet was very kind and personable. However, since Dr. Kendrick has been in the picture I have had many terrible experiences (with him.) Unfortunately, the low cost is what I can afford. Because of the low cost, this office is VERY popular. Expect to wait around 2 hours if you need to see the vet. If you just need vaccinations, a vet tech can do that and you will be in and out much quicker. Dr. Kendrick is often rude and cold, but sometimes he is personable. I do not understand him at all. He also doesn't seem to even like animals. Also, if you are looking for a vet that went to school in America, keep shopping. Dr. Kendrick moved to Italy for veterinary school. One Sunday I had an emergency. AMC was closed, so I took my pet to the Banfield Vet in Pet Smart in Fountain Valley. I have never had such a great experience. The staff and vet were so kind and I was seen right away. However, the bill was about twice what it would be at AMC. In closing, you get what you pay for. If you can deal with Dr. Kendrick’s lack of personality and you’re on a tight budget, this might just be the place for you.

today i took my cat in for a check up because I had a feeling there might be something wrong (ie. worms) i had done an abundant amount of reading articles on the internet and all the signs pointed to worms. so i took her in this afternoon. after waiting 2 hours, they finally asked me to fill out new client information. they were training a new receptionist. new employees are understandable, but 2 hours is a bit excessive. i am in the retail business and that alone is unprofessional. after i explained to the receptionist, the tech and the doctor what was wrong, they all said it couldnt be worms. they took a stool sample and blood and said it was negative. $200 later i came home still concerned about my animal. two hours later, i checked my cats feces not only to find obvious worms in her stool, they were all over her anal area. i am going back tomorrow to demand a full refund and free vaccines. i feel so bad for my cat because she is restless and i can only imagine what she must be going through. DONT TAKE YOUR PET HERE!

My husband and I had a great experience at this facility. We took our small pom in for an intestinal problem and she was seen by Dr. Kendrick who was very professional, friendly and efficient. He prescribed a new food, medication, gave her an injection and asked us to bring her back in two weeks for follow-up. The cost was a fraction of what we would have paid anywhere else. It is a bit of a drive for us but worth it.

I had the same experience as Linda N. My mother had to put her 15 yr old dog to sleep. There were other people waiting however, I feel waiting 3 hours was inexusable. I'm sure NO ONE would have said we couldn't go before them to stop my mom's dog from suffering any longer. I got my mother's money back and we went to an emergency center that had baby blankets out for her dog when we got there.
