Hanson Stephen DVM Tustin, California

This place has the best specialists and the most friendly and caring staff.

Great friendly staff please was very clean and well organized

This place is one of the best animal care facilities! Having dealing with putting one of your animals down is not easy thing. The sincere kindness they showed to my Lucy and I made it some what bearable. Just all-around great place super cream super courteous just great people that actually care!

I brought my dog here for seizures and I was impressed with the care and service. They listened to me, watched the videos I had of my dog's symptoms and performed the neccessary testing. It was expensive, but in line with what I expected. At the end it was totally worth the cost for the diagnosis. So reassuring to know there are not tumors or strokes! The anti-seizure meds are working great!

Great people everyone is really friendly and helpful

VNC was truly a blessing to come across. From the friendliness of the staff to the compassionate and professionalism of the doctors and technicians, I cannot be thankful enough for everyone. I was in a horrible situation where my dog unexpectedly became paralyzed due to IVDD. We tried to take him to several places where he was instantly turned down for treatment. As emotional I was I continue to call around town to see if I can find anyone help my poor fur baby. By the grace of God, I managed to talk to the sweetest person Michelle,front desk staff, whose exact words were “Bring him in. , and we will figure it out”. I eagerly made it to VNC and able to talk to Dr. Schissler. He calmly explained the issue at hand to me and promised to do as much as he can to ensure that my dog could walk again. They provided alternative ways to pay for the surgery and ensured to give me an update on a consistent basis. As crazy as it may seem I instantly had a sense of relief that I knew my sweet Frenchie was in the right hands. He was able to have the appropriate surgery ,but unfortunately developed a mass on the incision that forced him to stay in the hospital a little longer. The Dr made sure to call me every day to give me and update until he was comfortable enough to send him home. 2 weeks post surgery and things are starting to feel a bit normal again, thanks to the wonderful people at VNC

Dr. Dugas is an absolute fantastic Neurologist and the entire staff is friendly as well. Your pet is in good hands here.

Great doctor great place

Had a serious accident with my little Pomeranian and the entire staff was amazing. They went out of their way to reassure us. Their compassionate care was so needed at that time. Fortunately my dog made a full recovery.

I had to take a duster dog here who was experiencing neurological issues and the staff was very friendly and caring They ran all the necessary tests and took care with such an emotional situation.

They were ok at first then once we got the diagnosis of my animal they turned into all about money instead of the best interest of my pet

We have seen both Dr Hansen and Dr Shissler. I am so grateful to Dr S for giving my Brandy the ability to walk again. Thank you

I can’t say enough good things about the staff and Dr. Schissler! My baby was paralyzed 5 weeks ago and I was frantic trying to find help in my small town in the high desert. I was referred here on May 14th he accepted her and did surgery that night and couldn’t be happier with the services and results. My girl is walking again and will have her life back thanks to these great people!

The staff and the doctors are just AMAZING!

Made it easy to find

Very friendly staff. The doctors take their time going over diagnostics and suggested treatments. It makes you feel secure and comfortable using them for our pets.

The Staff is great. The Vets go the extra mile reaching out to other vets for support and 2nd opinions.

Best place ever to take your dogs They treated my dog wonderful Highly recommend

Very compassionate and very thorough in explaining everything.

First ever visit here and really liked Dr. Dillard. We couldn't go in due to covid restrictions in place (which I appreciate) but she came out and examined our dog and was very caring. The front desk staff were all polite and not in a rush to help us out with appointments, etc. Overall a very positive experience.

After a stroke, my dog had a remarkable recovery thanks to them!

What a wonderful experience..so confused and concerned about our baby losing mobility: staff and Doctor was efficient, kind, and so knowledgeable! What a relief that the information was reassuring enough to put our worries behind us and look forward to a treatment plan!

I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Dillard. She was extremely professional and reliable. My dog Sully got severely injured when a spinal disk ruptured causing lots of bleeding and complete paralysis in his back legs. Sully had never been injured before and I was a complete emotional mess. Dr. Dillard’s calm and confident approach was very assuring. She also was very easy to speak with and answered all of my questions. After Sully’s mri it was apparent he needed immediate surgery. He had to stay at the vet hospital for two days after surgery and we got constant updates from Dr. Dillard and staff. Sully’s surgery was a complete success and after a few days he was well on the path to recovery and walking again. It has been two weeks since surgery and Sully is acting like he was never injured and has been trying to run and play. I am constantly trying to remind him he is still healing and needs to rest. Sully had his first post surgery check up earlier this week his recovery is going as planned. I have been so overwhelmingly pleased with Dr. Dillard and the Neurology Center.

When you bring your pet here, they already have an issue requiring this specialty and if you're like me, you'll be pretty nervous about it. The compassionate team here, receptionist, staff and doctors, will set you at ease. We felt better even before talking to Dr Vurik, she really set us at ease, she gave explanations, made recommendations and backed them up. If your pet has neuro issues or if your vet refers you here, just go. Price wise, it wasn't as crazy as I expected. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY!!

Dr. Schissler and the rest of the team here are absolutely amazing! My 4 year old beagle was diagnosed with IVDD in her Cervical Spine and was in a lot of pain prior to coming to the neurology center. Dr. Schissler was very thorough when explaining Layla’s condition, the procedure and healing process. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and provides exceptional care! We are so thankful for Him and the rest of the staff for helping Layla!

They were kind and prompt in helping us in a difficult time with our shihtzu. I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while we waited for the MRI appointment. If we ever have another need for their services, I will not hesitate to call them.

Under the circumstances of having to come to this facility, the staff and professionalism was second to none. The care and compassion they showed me and my dog Chuck was very comforting. It was somewhat of a far drive from where I lived but worth it for their knowledge and honesty alone. For anybody that needs this kind of service for their pet, I highly recommend them.

If you have a pet with Neurological needs, this medical facility is the place to take your pet. I love the staff and benefits it offers. I enjoy working with Dr. Stephen as I go and perform quarterly HVAC preventive maintenance on his building.

Dr. Schissler was thorough and compassionate examining our 4lb maltipoo. He patiently walked us through the benefits and risk factors of each of our options between conservative treatment and surgery, which would be his second in six months (one in France). Dr. Schissler was careful to examine the nuances and implications of his unique case study as well as the considerations of his small size and hepatic issues. Within 15 minutes of our hour long talk through the window (due to covid) with Dr. Schissler, we knew that we would have a long relationship with Veterinary Neurology Center. They are the specialist we trust to give our pup, Archer, the best care and chance at as fulfilling a life as possible. We only live an hour from VNC but we know we would make a much much longer journey if need be. We can tell from their expertise, attention to detail, state of the art equipment, and from the amazing reviews on Google that they are the partners we’ve been needing in Archer’s struggle with IVDD. I’m writing a review because I know how critical it is to find amazing care for your fur children when they need you, especially with neurological disorders and spinal surgeries. Take them here, you won’t be sorry.

We've unfortunately had to take one of our dogs twice due to her breed having back issues and we have to say we are super pleased with the level of care and compassion all staff we have encountered has had. Our dog is again on her way to recovery and are grateful that Veterinary Neurology is there.
