Wow! Pet Spa in Mission Viejo 4/1/2010

You will have to travel forever to experience the kind of care your cat or dog, will have at the Alicia Pet Care Center. The vets and the staff are the best! They treated a cat that I found (lying in the street with a hit and run injury to the pelvic area) with such care and kindness, which resulted in a full recovery for the cat. The new facility is like taking your baby to the spa! Beautiful cat kennels and play areas, dog runs and spacious boarding facilities. The staff have a great positive work ethic and always greet you with a smile and a soothing word. Would not have my dog and cat treated anywhere else but here. Try it and see if I am right on! Pros: Cat kennels and play areas, Dog run and luxury boarding Cons: Busy parking area more

An experience to always be remembered! 3/24/2010

Very few clinics have the ability, know-how, staff and expertise to make a veterinary trip worth every penny, time way from work and trust relinquished to care for my dear pets. APCC is nothing short of what a textbook clinic should be! Dr. Wheaton and his staff has been committed to superb service and, above all, building a solid relationship with me. \r \r His nurses, Samantha, Anca, Bethany, Casey and Caroline (over the years) have shown me what true passion and caring should be. They take all the necessary time to be patient and above all LISTEN. From the moment I walk into an exam room the stress and nerves dissipate because I know, and so does my dog, he and I will be taken care of.\r \r What I love and admire most about Dr. Wheaton is his civility, understanding and willingness to take time to do his job to the best of his abilities. A doctor who, once he wants into the exam room, sits right down and greets my dog on his level knows exactly what he is doing to provide service more

True Commitment to the Welfare of Animals 6/25/2009

by Wendy Marie Horn 06/25/2009 \r Dr. Wheaton and his team reached out and helped me when I found a dog that was in dire need of surgery. I found the dog dirty, emaciated, abused, shut-down, and with her eye hanging out, and damage to her jaw. He performed surgery on my dog for free until I could solicit enough donations to pay for it. \r \r All of the staff at the Alicia Pet Care Center are AMAZING!!! I wouldn't leave my animals anywhere else. Precious Life is now a part of my family, and loves cats! Thanks to the Alicia Pet Care Center for saving my dog's life! This was the only vet in the entire state of California that I could find to do the surgery pro-bono until I could raise the funds. They don't just claim to love animals, they really show it! more

Wonderful office 3/30/2009

Dr Wheaton and his staff offer a very warm friendly environment to bring your pets. The front staff are great, very friendly and warm ( and you don't see that at all vets), they great many clients by their first name and just make you feel welcome. Dr. Wheaton is wonderful with the animals, and will tell you how it is , which i definitely appreciate. It is very hard to find a vet you can trust to care for your pets. And I will only refer people to a vet I would trust, and I highly recommend Dr. Wheaton's practice to anyone. With the special needs pets I have, i am extremely particular about what vet I use, and as an animal rescuer He tells you what he recommends, but he wont push or force you into anything you don't feel comfortable doing for your pet and/or financially.I would only take our rescue animals to a vet I trust as well, as they deserve the best care possible. Plus Dr. Wheaton is doing alot of good in the community with his Affordable Spay/Neuter Clinic as we so desperately more

Gave me realistic expectations of my cat's problem 2/18/2009

My experience at Alicia Pet Care Center was good. My cat had a dry and flaky nose that was odd. They were very nice and gave me realistic expectations of the cost and procedure that he would have to go through if I decided to continue. They didn't pressure me at all (another vet had tried to scare me into spending a lot of money elsewhere). The place is clean and everyone was very nice. more

Fabulous Pet Care Center 2/14/2009

We used Alicia Pet Care Center for our two, three legged dogs with special needs. Everyone at Dr. Wheaton's pet care center is very caring. Dr. Wheaton is very knowledgeable, compassionate and competent. Were they a good deal? As far as the cost of veterinary services go, they are on par with others but Dr. Wheaton never pushed us into something not needed. He was very realistic and again, compassionate to us and our dogs. We completely trust him. more

My dog wouldn't recommend them. 1/9/2009

I have a few friends that rave about their clinic, and others that agree with me. Perhaps Dr. Wheaton and his staff have changed over the years, but I personally did not encounter a positive experience at Alicia Pet Care Center. I took my dog to Dr. Wheaton right when Dr. Hawkins started helping out at the clinic. My dog was a very laid back, calm girl that had no problems with boarding or hospital visits. However, after boarding her at Alicia Pet Care Center, she absolutely hated going back. I had never seen her act so fearful in my life, and really feel something must have traumatized her to impact her behavior so much. more

They Will Take Care Of Your Babies! 9/30/2008

Dr. Wheaton came highly recommended by a vet we trusted with the care of our Aussie until he moved to a cat-only facility. Since our first visit back in 2006, Dr. Wheaton and his staff have provided the care and compassion you would hope your own doctor might. Since that day we never took our Aussie to any other veterinarian except in an emergency outside of the APCC's normal business hours. Dr. Matthew Wheaton is known throughout South Orange County as one of the best. It's his compassion, optimism and ability to communicate with both pet and owner that make him our choice for taking care of our babies. more

Just Like Family!! 9/19/2008

Dr. Hawkins and the entire staff at Alicia Pet Care Center treat us like family whenever we are there. It could be 6 months since our last visit and they always seem to remember our faces and our dog. They make sure that we are well informed before our aussie gets any treatments done. The new clinic is beautiful! more

Awesome Animal Hospital Around! 5/12/2008

I have been taking my two cats and dog to Alicia Pet Clinic since 2005. I have never found such friendly and caring Dr.'s and Staff to take care of my babies. I have had animals all my life and have had many a Vet. I love that they are educational, they don't just say that "this" is what is wrong with your animal and "this" is what you have to do to fix it. They sit down with and talk to you about different approaches and why it may have happened and what it could lead to. They are also very reasonably priced. I highly recomend these guys to anyone who cares even an ounce for their animal. They truley are the best I have ever had. Pros: Everything. Cons: Needs a bigger Facility. more

could their staff be ANY better?! 1/4/2008

Dr. Wheaton's staff almost cares for my cat better than my wife and i do, believe it or not. I could not dream of having anyone else take care of my dear feline and Dr. Wheaton has always provided the best care and some of the most cutting edge options in animal medicine to us. more

best animal care around, friendly and knowledgable staff led by an amazing doctor 1/4/2008

I almost wanted to cry when I had to move away from the area a few years ago. The search for a vet comparable to Dr. Wheaton was long and hard. When I moved back to Aliso Viejo over a year ago and walked through the doors to this clinic again, it felt like coming home (and I swear my cat seemed more calm too!). Dr. Wheaton not only seems to know about all the newest and best treatments for your animals, but he does try to push things on you like some of the other salesmen...er...uh...vets seem to do. That right there is reason enough for me to stay loyal to his clinic. But when you throw in his learned and caring staff too... forget about it... this place is the best around.... hands down... no... make that PAWS down! :) Pros: every single thing about the staff, the doctor, etc etc Cons: agreed with a previous review... he might want to get a bigger facility... more

Not Just Pet Care. 12/31/2007

Staff is attentive and helpful. Dr.'s consider all treatment options - including NONE - if thats the needed path! Have taken our cats, dog, and new puppy there since 2003. Could not remember being better served by another Vet anywhere else. Strongly recommended Pros: Easy location. Cons: Small office. Could use a larger space. more

Caring and professional 12/30/2007

This clinic has shown loving, professional care to my animals over the past 5 years. Their equipment is state of the art. My cat was run over by a car and Dr. Matt patched her up so that she lived another three years (she was 19)...they saved my sanity because I was the one that ran over her...Pam more
