You can see Dr. Lopez on Nat Geo Mundo's tv show, "Dr. Vet LA". The center is led by head veterinarian, Dr. Lopez. Growing up on a farm in a small town, he began riding horses around the time he learned how to walk. Eventually, Dr. Lopez went to agriculture school, and spent years learning about veterinary care for farm animals. Following his agricultural and veterinary degree, Dr. Lopez went on to emergency veterinary hospitals in Orange County and Los Angeles. He always knew that he wanted to open his own animal hospital, and in 2003, Animal Hospital in Anaheim, Brookhurst Animal Medical Center opened its doors. Dr. Lopez specializes in care for dogs & cats. His role in Nat Geo Mundo's television show "Dr. Vet LA" allowed him to show his skills treating animals like tigers and elephants; at home at Brookhurst Animal Medical Center, the pets are usually tamer, but Dr. Lopez can adapt his knowledge to all different types of animals.

Dr. Lopez took excellent care of our bunny who had a severe ear infection when we took him in. He was kind and passionate and I would recommend him to anyone with a pet. He really cares about the animals he treats and is very knowledgeable.

We first came here when we adopted our dachshund puppy, to have all his initial shots and checkup. Dr. Lopez and his staff were friendly, courteous, professional, and above all else, they showed lots of tenderness and care to our puppy! They handled him so well, and because of their great service we've never had a desire to bring our dog anywhere else. That was seven years ago.
Since then, we've adopted another puppy (a morkie = maltese + Yorkie), and Dr. Lopez now takes fantastic care of both of them. We've also used their pet boarding service, for the times when we've gone out of town; we've used this service perhaps four times and have been very happy with them. Other services that Dr. Lopez offers that we've had for our dogs include: neuter and spay; microchip implants; grooming; dental/teeth cleaning; and certificates of good health for airlines that require that kind of paperwork for animal travel.
One thing I like to see is that whenever Dr. Lopez and his staff lean down to pick up our little ones, our dogs stand up into their arms -- they are quite comfortable being held by the staff members here; they don't wiggle around or try to get away; instead, they allow themselves to be carried and held, and that's very reassuring for me to see.
I highly recommend Brookhurst Animal Hospital. They have been continuously improving their facilities over the years, including updating their signage and their interior as well. Dr. Lopez cares about his business, and he shows this every time he takes excellent care of our dogs. If you're looking for a place with friendly staff and great service, then try Brookhust Animal Hospital. We've trusted them with our little ones for seven years, and we're extremely happy with them!

I have taken both of my dogs to Brookhurst Animal Clinic to Dr. Lopez. I have a Maltese mix that is allergic to wheat and has very sensitive skin and eyes. She is prone to eye infections and requires a higher level of care than my Terrier mix. Dr. Lopez was the only vet that was able to clear up her chronic eye infection. I have been to three different vets in Orange County and found that his pricing was fair and was consistent with the rates that the other vets charged. His service was superior for treating eye infections. I believe in this doctor and his skills. I have recommended him to my friends; one was looking for a surgeon to perform the surgery to correct problems caused by hip dysplasia. Dr. Lopez performed the surgery and did a brilliant job. My friend was very pleased with the results.

I have had up to 9 dogs at once. Use them for Pet Therapy. This means I have tried many different vets and hospitals in Orange County. Ive never been satisfied with any of them.
I heard about Dr. Lopez from my mom. Dr. Carlos Lopez is friendly as soon as you walk in. You can tell he really cares for the animals.
He is one of the best vets out there. I go to Dr. Lopez when its other than a regular grooming (just because is a little far from my house) . He can diagnose what my pets needs are right away. I even had a friend come here after she had gone to different vets to diagnose a problem and Dr. Carlos Lopez knew exactly what the problem was and saved her dog. He has saved my dog Lindo and healed many of my dogs.
I highly recommend that you take your pets here.

Dr. Lopez saved our sweet cat’s life. One day he stopped eating and was vomiting. We took him to our regular vet, who did x-rays, and said he had probably eaten something that had upset his stomach. He told us to use a different cat food, but Maxie still wouldn’t eat, and he became so weak he could barely get up. Our neighbor recommended Dr. Lopez. It turned out that Maxie’s pancreas was very inflamed and he needed medicine. Dr. Lopez treated our sweet cat so gently, you can tell he really loves animals. He put him on medicine for his pancreas, and gave him an I.V. to get his strength up. He literally brought him back from the edge. His fees were very reasonable, much less than we’ve spent at the emergency for other pets in the past. We have two dogs and a cat, and Dr. Lopez is our new vet.

He overcharged me for less than hour of work (total was over $500.00) and my dog still died. I DO NOT recommend him. He also ripped off my sister. We were talking about the place and found out she was ripped off by the SAME PLACE less than 2 weeks earlier. My poor doggy. If only I went somewhere else....
Not to mention the receptionists are EXTREMELY rude. I was rude back and got my way with her, but do not go here. I heard him talking to another customer who said his turtles were sick after the doctor gave him meds that were supposed to be for dogs! WOW

this place is a rip off!!! i will never take my animals there ever again. the facility is disgusting. it's like a Tijuana hospital, filthy and shady. they charge you a crazy amount for procedures and then when you have to take you animal back less than a day later because their work is half a$$ they blame you and say okay well we'll take care of it and then charge you a second time after the procedure is done. this place is awful, never again! these animals are like your children, for their well being go somewhere else...
