As of November 2024, they've moved! They're just down the street from their old location, in a plaza next to Ace Hardware. There's ample parking here, which was always an issue at their old location. I have mixed reviews about Circle of Friends. Most technicians, Dr. Yasso, and Dr. Connelly have been kind but the clinic is busy and they are often booked out for weeks in advance. I love Dr. Yasso and her work in the rescue community, their *usually* conservative treatment approach, and their pricing is more than fair. That said, I fear they are starting to get too busy. They did just add back Dr. Meinert but I didn't find her to be as personable as Dr. Y and C. Some of the newer techs aren't as friendly either. Our primary vet and a receptionist forgot I had put one of my dogs down even though it was done at their clinic just a month ago. At another visit, I brought one of my dogs in for a vaccine appointment with a technician but they trimmed her nails instead. Not only that, they nicked her, she was bleeding, and nobody told me. Callbacks regarding lab work usually take 1-2 weeks and sometimes multiple follow-ups from me. I mostly like it here and don't really want to leave. But some things are starting to add up...

Circle of Friends Veterinary Introduce

Welcome to Circle of Friends Veterinary, your local Pet Hospital Near You, now located at 1251 E Yorba Linda Blvd in Placentia, California. As of November 2024, we have moved to a new location in a plaza next to Ace Hardware, which offers ample parking, a significant improvement from our previous site.

The environment at Circle of Friends Veterinary is described as generally kind, with many technicians, Dr. Yasso, and Dr. Connelly being well-regarded. The clinic is often busy and booked out for weeks in advance, indicating its popularity but also potential challenges in appointment availability. While one customer found some newer staff, including Dr. Meinert, less personable, another praised Dr. Meinhart as fabulous and thorough. The front desk staff is appreciated by at least one reviewer for being helpful and professional.

At Circle of Friends Veterinary, our services include general veterinary care. Dr. Yasso is noted for her usually conservative treatment approach and her work within the rescue community. Pricing is considered more than fair by some. However, there have been reports of service inconsistencies, including staff forgetting significant events like a pet's euthanasia, errors in appointments (vaccine appointment leading to an unrequested and unnoticed nail trim injury), and slow lab work callbacks (1-2 weeks with potential multiple follow-ups). We do have multiple veterinarians, including Dr. Yasso, Dr. Connelly, and recently Dr. Meinert.

A key feature of Circle of Friends Veterinary in Placentia, CA, is the presence of well-liked veterinarians like Dr. Yasso, known for her conservative approach and fair pricing, and Dr. Meinhart, praised for thoroughness. Our new location offers ample parking. However, potential local users should be aware of reports indicating the clinic's busyness leading to appointment delays and occasional service issues such as communication lapses and errors in care. While many staff members are considered kind and helpful, experiences appear to vary.

Currently, there is no specific promotional information available. Local users in Placentia, CA, may find the information regarding our new location with ample parking and the generally positive feedback about certain veterinarians helpful. However, they should also consider the reported issues with busyness and service inconsistencies when making their decision.

I can't speak highly enough if the Circle of Friends crew! They are the most compassionate and friendly staff at a veterinary practice that I've experienced. All of the staff actually takes the time to get know your pets because they really care. Dr Yasso worked with us for months on the best treatement for our pointer, who was diagnosed with a malignant mass cell tumor. She supported us every step of the way and was open to any and all questions we had. She was also able to fit us in for many emergency visits, and best of all, she was supportive and comforting through the hard times. Also, shout out to Theodora and Gina for always bringing us joy, joking with us, and loving on our pups, Ruger and Whiskey!

It is the worst place where you can take your dog. The customer service is bad. They give you an appointment at a certain time of day and they attend you an hour later and badly. My dog didn't get better with the medicines they gave him so I found a better place. I recommend that you look for a better place.

Very friendly and compassionate staff. Dr Yasso is very knowledgeable. I'm glad they were here when it was time for my boy to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. 馃寛
