I don't even know where to start with how much I love this place! Highly HIGHLY recommend.

I've been to vets in Lake Forest, Foothill, MV, basically everywhere in the area. This is the only one I will go back to. My dog has had a chronic skin condition that I've been seeking help for for years. We've had our share of misdiagnoses, wrongly prescribed medications, etc. I understand that these things happen, but it put a lot of stress on my dog's body. The worst thing about those other vets, though, was their attitudes. They seemed to judge me and make me feel like it was my dog being sick was because I was a bad owner. And the reality was I was doing everything I could to make him better, not to mention I was SEEKING HELP.

I got fed up and tried treating it solely on my own. And then my dog got hurt somehow. I came home one day and he was limping, wouldn't let me pick him up, just crying. I had no choice but to find a vet again. So, I came across El Toro Animal Hospital, and in the waiting room I braced myself for the rude judgement I got from all the previous vets.

Dr. Fred at ET Animal Hospital didn't do ANY of that b.s. He was kind, understanding, and ON MY SIDE. I finally felt like someone was ready to tackle this with me. He took the time to feel my dog's leg/hip, and even walk him! (To observe his movement and limp).

He helps those with limited income, too. I never felt like it made a difference in the was he carried out the treatments. He took the time to explain everything to me in detail until I understood everything. He made a follow up call, personally a couple days later and really has been more helpful than all of those other vets combined. I appreciate Dr. Fred and his team very much! Thank you guys!!!! I will be back.

Oh, and as for my dog! He started walking again, that same day! The medicine Dr. Fred gave us, along with supplements and care instructions, has helped my dog more than I even expected. His eyes are more white, and just feeling better...We are going on a walk now :)

Take care, everyone! And, really, try out this vet. They made a difference in the quality of our lives and I appreciate it so much that I left in tears and I'm leaving reviews on every site XD Thanks!
