This is the only veterinary clinic that truly helped us find the cause of our dog’s illness and saved her life. Before coming here, we went to two other clinics where we were charged extremely high fees, yet they gave us no diagnosis, no real solutions—just excuses while taking more and more money.
Here, the experience was completely different. The team was professional, compassionate, and genuinely cared about helping our dog. They charged us a very reasonable price, yet the level of care and service was outstanding.
Thanks to their dedication and expertise, our dog has fully recovered and is now happy and healthy again. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, professionalism, and for giving our beloved pet a second chance at life.

I first came in to see you in July, 2003 with a small 4 week orange male tabby (Bailey) that my son brought over to my condo with his eye totally infected. He found this kitten in a dumpster. You took care of him, giving him the proper shots and eye medication and antibiotics and informed me after a few visits that he would be blind in his one eye and it would eventually have to be removed. You were his vet until two years later when I moved to Dana Point. However, when Bailey seemed to have an ear infection I took him to another vet in Laguna Beach (Dr. Susan Davis - BIG MISTAKE) instead of taking him to Dr. Craft (who you recommended)- her associate vet gave him an antibiotic shot along with a booster shot at the same time. Costing me $$. One day later he would not eat, would not drink, did not use his litter box and was hiding and acting spastic - – long story short took him to an emergency veterinarian hospital in Mission Viejo at 10 pm where they re-hydrated him with IV fluids because he had a fever exceeding 108 and kept him overnight for $900. I picked him up the next morning (Friday) and returned to the vet in Laguna Beach where she said she couldn't help him and referred me to a "specialist" that would charge $1200 to walk in the door. I called you at 4:45 pm that day and you said to bring in Bailey and you would wait for him – because of traffic I didn't arrive at your office until after 6 pm on a Friday night. You knew exactly what was wrong with him, stating giving a booster shot AND an antibiotic shot at the same time should never be done. You gave him a cortisone shot and told me to bring him back in the morning. He was 50% better that night and by the next day was 90% better and by the end of the week was doing just fine. Since that time I recommended you to all my friends at church, at work and all my family. I wish I could find another vet like you here in Arizona – they just don't meet up to my standards because of you. Bailey is now 12 and an indoor car living in a wonderful home and healthy!
Five years ago I brought in Bailey and my son's cat, "Cow" to get shots and an overall certificate since we were going on a month long car trip to New York. Again, you and your staff ARE THE BEST. Your staff helped with ideas to keep the cats' safe and calm which worked – they were in cat carriers in the car 6-7 hours a day for a month and they were calm and happy.
Since that time I have called you and you have returned my call on a concern I had about my son's 17 year old cat ("Cow") that had developed a thyroid condition. Again, you helped and even told me that the special diabetic food "cannot" be mixed with other food which is something the vet here in Arizona never told us.
Then again I gave your name to my friend, Lisa Leibovici who is a dear, dear friend dealing with a cancer/tumor ridden Rottweiler. You returned her call and gave her so much information. She informed me what you had said and was so grateful and thankful to you for your helping her understand more about Rottweilers and her situation – something her own vet didn't do. She is now going to recommend you to all her friends and family.
THANK YOU DR. RENEHAN – YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED BY GOD AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU ARE THE BEST VET EVER!!!!!

I *LOVE* this clinic! The staff is very friendly, very knowledgeable, patient, caring, and sensitive to both the needs of our dog and our concerns as owners. I've never left this office frustrated, confused, or felt like I (read: my wallet) was being taken advantage of. No unnecessary tests or procedures, and all treatment options are discussed in detail and take into consideration the current state of health of my pet, what we can afford, and what we know we can or can't follow through with at home. I also love how everyone knows us as we walk through the door or call to set up an appointment (and Dr. Coston, our primary vet, saw me outside the office and inquired about how my dog was doing and remembered everything about her!) -- they feel like family. I HIGHLY recommend this practice to anyone looking for a vet in the area. You won't be sorry!
