Yolinda Animal Hospital Placentia, California

Thanks so much for help me and my wife through this difficult time.

They did an exam at no cost for me because it was as an issue that required referral. Amazing and I am totally grateful

We have been using this clinic for over 17 years and this is our 3rd dog that we are taking there. Service is amazing. Staff and doctor are very knowledgeable and responsive.

I have been a client of this office for over 10 years now. Dr. Talcott was incredible with my last dog before she passed away and even sent a card when she passed. It seems Dr. Talcott is no longer there though and our new dog has seen both Dr. Lo and Dr. Scott. My issue is with Dr. Scott and the lack of professionalism from the team in general. Dr. Scott is rude, cold, condescending, and just generally does not seem to care about our concerns or our pet’s wellbeing. He speaks to both my husband and I like we’re idiots. As for the team, this last visit, my husband was asked to give over his form of payment when the staff member took our dog in for his exam, which is fine. The issue is that the card was charged without any call to let him know what we were being charged for or what the total was. Very unprofessional.

Our dog needed to be neutered and we took him here on the recommendation of a coworker. Was not disappointed and very happy with the result. They have followed up with phone calls to make sure our dog is recovering as well. Will be using them again in the future for our dog's needs.

I brought in both my kitties kitties and they came out to meet me and explained everything that they needed to do I was unable to go in with my kitties due to the covid but that was OK they seemed very caring In regards to what I needed done for both my kitties I called the doctor multiple times and he was great with all my questions I would highly recommend recommend Yolanda for your pets veterinarian needs and the price wasn't bad either

This is long overdue thank you note to Dr. Emily Talcott Yolinda Animal Hospital Placentia. I have own dogs for more than 30 years and see many general veterinarians, oncologist, internist, surgeon, dermatologist, cardiologist and surgical oncologist. Dr. Emily Talcott is one of the best general veterinarians. She impressed me the most not because of her skills and professionalism but also her caring and compassion. She is very kind and comforting. She is not only healing her patients but also their parents. She cares for my boys and girls just like her own. She makes the world better place.

We took our chihuahua and kitten here today and waited over an hour just to bring them in, and another hour as they were being checked out and vaccinated (2 hours total). They did keep us updated on their treatments which was nice, but we would have been a lot happier if their service was much faster.

My boy needed to see the Doc.

The staff is very caring,concerned,kind and gentle with the pets. I trust them and feel that they provide the care for my animals that they would give their own. Their pricing is fair and they explain in detail what they will provide in advance.

First dog owner. Didn't know what to expect. They have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The doctors are amazing and patient with me. Would highly recommend!

My mini poodle is almost two years old. My daughter has been taking him for walks on Saturdays. Some how he came into contact with fleas. Soon as I spotted them I got treatment. Wow one pill, lasts 12 weeks. After the first day the fleas were gone. The infestation was just starting, but found it hard to believe one and gone.

I am from out of town and came here due to my cat's increased itching. The second consult examination special caught my eye because this was an unresolved issue due to timing of travel. The receptionist laid out their procedure for the "second examination deal" very clearly, with expectations, possible costs, and told me which Dr. would be seeing my cat. They were able to book me an appointment about a week and half after my initial call. I did have to call my current vet and have them send over records, etc, but it was a pretty easy process. When it came to the day of the appointment, I was greeted at my car (covid times) to intake my cat, Orca, and was then contacted by Dr. Lo who discussed treatment with me. All in all, a very positive experience. Dr. Lo provided Orca with the most effective and conservative treatment and answered all of my questions. I was very reassured. Here's hoping my cat feels better and I can revisit Dr. Lo at Yolinda Animal Hospital if there's ever a need, and I'm in town!

It feels like family here. The staff is fantastic and our dog is in love with Christine, Jordan, Kimberly, Dr. Talcott, Dr. Lo. Our dog isn't so sure about their newest vet, Dr. Katz, pictured here.

I have taken my french bulldog puppy to Yolinda Animal Hospital since he came home with us and the doctors and staff there have been nothing but kind and professional. It is incredibly difficult for Vets these days with COVID and so many more people getting pets, I really comend the doctors and staff at Yolinda as they are pushing through all of these challenges and still providing excellent care.

I was really disappointed in my visit to see the vet. My cat hurt his leg two weeks ago and has been limping on it ever since. Had him to an emergency vet when it first happened and he was put on antibiotics. The swelling went away but the limp stayed. I was finally able to get him in the see the vet today (it took almost a week). Due to COVID we can’t go in with the animal (which is good to prevent COVID but in this case bad because the vet acted like I was crazy). He told me my cat had no limp at all and was 100% ok. I brought my cat home and let him out of travel kennel and he was absolutely, 100% limping and not putting weight on the leg. I have no idea if the vet even looked at my cat or not. I am very disappointed and feel really bad for my cat.

We just love Dr Talcott she knows what my pug needs. Always takes time to explain everything.

Don't let you go in then they say they did a puppy check but don't give you the results. Then after I call they say they will mail it

Dr. Talcott is so kind and caring on top of being super professional and an awesome veterinarian. The compassion the office showed when we had to put our older dog down last year was unmatched. My dog is absolutely not a fan of being at the vet, but Dr. Talcott and all staff have worked to make her more comfortable and take care of all her needs. Overall, great staff and vets! I couldn’t imagine taking my dog anywhere else.

Yolinda Animal Hospital has amazing staff and veterinarians.

Very courteous and patient, with all the protocols these days. Dr. Lo seems competent, and is good about explaining what is going on with your animal, and what options you have.

I forgot to get my dog his rabies shot due to all this Covid stuff. They got me in within a day and my dogies are good again. I love the doctors who are so knowledgeable and they point out issues I’m not even looking for. They aren’t pushy like some places I have been. I recommend them every chance I get.

I...and dozens of my animals...have gone to Yolinda Animal Hospital since the late 70's. I was amazed by the combination of training, experience and instinct I saw time after time by Dr. Gene Hofacre, DVM...the long time owner of the clinic. And I see it now in Dr. Lo. Just amazing because he's such a young man. They care and they know what they're doing. I'm sure you care about your animals as much as I care about mine. I wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else. Thank you, Yolinda Animal Hospital, to give my animal friends a better life.

The Dr actually came out to the car and talked to me about my pup ... The rest of the staff is super friendly they will now be our permanent vet for my pup

So far so good! Super professional and very personable. It was so refreshing to have a Vet actually talk to me, ask me questions, LISTEN to me, and offer advice. First Vet I've met that must really enjoy her job.

I have been taking my dog to this group through 3 different ownerships. The current ownership, staff and vets are wonderful. My sweet lab is turning 14 next week and with an older dog we make a lot of vet visits. They are patient, kind, responsive, and understanding. When I have concerns on cost we talk about it and work through the best option for my dog. They have helped my dog maintain a healthy happy life.

Dr. Lowe is the best.

Very helpful, really appreciate all that they did for our little old Wendy!

Just wanted to remove dpg stitches there weren't in and out within less than 3 minutes

We have been bringing our animals her for over 10 years. Dr. Talcott has got to be the warmest and most genuine doctor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We always know our dogs are in great hands, no matter what the concern. Their support staff is prompt with medication refills and even make appointments and refill prescriptions via text. Seriously, could they be any more accommodating?! Highly recommend!
