We use them regularly. They're really good. They're very thorough. Their staff is very, very helpful, very personable and so is Dr. Dave. Dr. Lori is also very, very good. They really care and that's the big deal. They follow up and make sure things happen. Price is relative but here in Irvine it's always going to be expensive.

Since our cat is an indoor cat, we weren't sure which vaccinations were really necessary. Dr. Lori was honest about what vaccinations were needed and which were not. She gave us the pros and cons of each vaccination. Dr. Lori conducted a basic examination and was just great with our cat. The whole experience was comfortable and we were very pleased with the way each staff member interacted with our cat. Very gentle and calm. They were attentive to listen and ask follow-up questions.

EXACTLY as reported! I was able to get an appt. the very same day and was greeted by an extremely friendly and accommodating staff.
Dr Dave was very professional, knowledgable and attentive. He performed a quick test right on the spot and determined that the lump was a fatty growth and discussed the findings in detail obviously relieving my concerns. I also had my pet's shots made current and was presented with a very fair bill. Needless to say I have found my new vet!

We called and got an appointment that same day. It was New Year's Eve day, and the office was open for appointments until 12:00. We were thrilled to be able to get our dog in to see the Dr.on a holiday, and not have to go to an urgent care center. Dr. Dave was very easy to talk to, and didn't try to sell services that weren't needed. He asked questions, and was very thorough. Instead of suggesting all kinds of tests, he gave us his professional opinion and our options for treatment. The above price was not only for the office visit, but also for the antibiotic, and heartworm medicine. We have found our new Veterinarian.

We are very satisfied, as we have been every time we have visited Dr. Driscoll. We live in Long Beach, where we first met Dr. Driscoll some years ago when he was part of nearby animal clinic, after he left that clinic, we were not happy with other practitioners there -- we had been spoiled! So we searched on the Internet, found where he had started his new practice, and are happy to drive to this office in Irvine, because he always gives our dogs such great care.
He is gentle and kind with the animals and people. He always takes the time to explain his observations and thinking about the dogs' problems, to offer alternatives in treatment when possible, and follows up with a call to ensure all is going well after the visit and to answer any new questions. His staff is professional, courteous and friendly. There is not the high-tension, stressful atmosphere you find in some offices. Dr. Driscoll and the staff are calm, and this carries over to his patients, I think.
He has had care of three of our dogs. One was a shepherd mix who lived to be over sixteen before we had to put him to sleep. That was hard, as is always is for those who love their pets. Dr. Driscoll was so understanding and kind throughout that process.We now have a dog who is 18 months old and one who 15 years old. Both are receiving great care through this office. I have seen many people with smaller dogs and with cats there, and you can see that his clients feel confident in the care their animals are receiving there.

Our kitten was scheduled for a surgical procedure to be done on Thursday morning, June 23. We needed to get her
to the office for blood work on Wednesday and as the trauma of a car ride is so h****** the kitten we boarded her at
the Animal Hospital the night before the surgery. The surgery was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and the Dr. called us
immediately after the operation to give us the results and to reassure us that the kitty was alright; in recovery and would
be available to come home later that day. Upon arriving to pick her up we were given pain medication for her to alleviate
pain before it was allowed to take hold; and given written instructions as to the care and feeding for the following few days.
The experience for us was handled with great care and professionalism. We would highly recommend Irvine Boulevard
Animal Hospital and Dr. Driscoll and his staff to anyone who would like the loving care they give to their patients.

I believe that they are all very compassionate and they are always available when I need them. Their hours are 7 days a week and they are open 24 hours. They do have many doctors on staff, but I prefer Dr. Coran.

THE TREATMENT WORKED PRETTY WELL BUT THE BILL SEEMED OUTRAGEOUS. THE DOGFOOD BAG COST $45.00 ANS WAS 3X THE WEIGHT OF MY DOG AND. THEY CHARGED $30.00 FOR A BATH AND $25.00 FOR EXPRESSING ANAL GLANDS. WHEN I GET THIS SAME THING DONE AT THE GROOMERS NEXT DOOR TO THE VET IT ONLY COST $30 AND INCLUDES A HAIR CUT. I SUPPLIED MY OWN MEDICATIONS OR THE BILL WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $300.00 THAT IS WAAAY TOO MUCH.

THIS VETERINARIAN'S PRICES ARE ON THE HIGH SIDE. HE SUGGESTS THAT YOU HAVE MANY TESTS DONE AND SOME SEEM EXCESSIVE. THE DOCTOR AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY NICE AND ALWAYS ANSWER QUESTIONS OVER THE PHONE. THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT GETTING MY DOG IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT WHEN HE NEEDS TO, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS AN EMERGENCY. THIS VETERINARIAN HAS MADE A GREAT EFFORT TO FIND A CURE FOR MY DOG'S SKIN YEAST INFECTION. AFTER MANY DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS, HE FOUND ONE THAT REALLY WORKED. HE IS VERY GOOD AT KEEPING UP WITH THE NEWEST MEDICATIONS.
