Yesterday I made the difficult decision to put my pug, Slick, to sleep. He was 15 yrs old, very sick & in a lot of pain. I called many vet facilities and found Dr. Song and his staff to be the most compassionate. My three kids and I took Slick to South Coast Veterinary Hospital in the late afternoon. A room was ready for us. Soothing music was playing. A soft, comfortable spot had been made up for Slick on the examination table. A small sign was nearby that spoke of how much we cherish our four-legged family members. Slick was given a sedative that calmed him, then something a little stronger. He started to snore. Then the euthanasia. He drifted off and looked so peaceful with his little tongue just barely sticking out of his mouth. We were left alone with Slick until we were ready to let him go. Dr. Song and his assistant, Laura, made this experience the best it could possibly be. We thank you.

Dr. Song is very caring and passionate towards his clients and the pets! I've been taking my cat for a while now and she feels very comfortable when going to visit Dr. Song. He is someone I can trust and rely on when it comes to questions or problems about my cat!

Dr. Song has taken care of my dog Bernie for over a year now. My dog may need a knee surgery to correct a partially torn knee ligament. Dr. Song discussed the treatment options and surgical process with me along with the pros and cons of different surgeries done to correct the knee condition. After extensive research about knee surgeries in dogs, knowing that Dr. Song performs the TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) surgery which is the newest and most logically intuitive surgery for large dogs makes me feel a lot more comfortable if that time comes that my boy needs to have knee surgery. Dr. Songs extensive training in complex surgeries you typically only find at very expensive specialty only hospitals. Rest assured knowing that a veterinarian with the expertise that Dr. Song provides is available as your family veterinarian.

Dr. Song and his team are an amazing group of people who truly care about the welfare and health of your pet. I've been a client of Dr. Song for several years now. His practice has always provided top-notch care for my dog Owen, and his little buddy, Joey. The first day with me as a puppy I made a promise to Owen that I would give him the extra care and attention he would require in his senior years. Dr. Song's attention to my concerns and the health management of Owen ensures I honor that promise. I'm currently managing Owen's heart condition with Dr. Song and trying to keep Owen as comfortable as possible. At 13 years of age, Owen is doing pretty good for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who are sadly prone to this condition. Most don't make it pass their 10th birthday. Dr. Song performs acupuncture on Owen and its made a world of difference in the minor arthritis ailments Owen was beginning to experience. Since his acupuncture treatments began two months ago, Owen now leaps like a gazelle when coming in from the back yard. He acts like he was 8 years old again. It has been an amazing transformation to witness. The services I've utilized with Dr. Song's practice are general canine health care, senior health care and heart management, acupuncture, and non-anesthetic dental cleaning. All the services have been excellent and contribute to maintaining Owen's health. Thank you Dr. Song.

My cat is DEAD!!! Just to be fair - please read to the end. I brought my cat in because she was making a horrible wheezing sound. Dr. Song recommended that all of these tests be ran and everything came out to be negative. I was charged over $500 and Dr. Song said my cat was fine, other than that she might have allergies. You would think that the tests would show my cat had cancer, but they didn't. So I bought the puffer and medications and my cat continued to have problems. Her condition continued to get worse and she stopped eating. Allergies wouldn't cause that so I took her to another vet who diagnosed her with an aggressive form of cancer. She died 3 weeks later. I don't believe Dr. Song, or any vet for that matter, could have saved her, but he could have at least properly diagnosed her from the beginning. This would have spared me from spending $$$ on unnessary treatments, supplies and other vets. I also would not have had the false hope that my dear kitty's condition was minor and that she would recover. Dr. Song may be okay to perform minor vaccinations, but I will never take another pet of mine to him and I don't receommend you taking yours to him either.
