(My e-mail is in my profile.)

What if I pick the wrong one?

Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid Well, if you wanna take a drive, our vet is in Irvine. I LOVE them. Dr. Mouana is great! It's called Irvine Vetrinary Services and there are two locations.

Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I think you probably have to read reviews and ask any local people you know and pick one. Then, if they are not nice or don't listen to you or there's some other problem, then you move on. If you do not like them for even the smallest reason there are many others who would like your business. I wish I had better advice but I never know how to find a vet/dentist/optometrist/etc. in a new area.
