Dr. Kuttel is the best! We have been going to him for years. He has helped us through some very difficult and emotional times with our pets. He is extremely kind and empathic. It is very difficult to make a diagnose on a pet when the pet can't say what is wrong, or what hurts. He listens to the owners and examines the pet to draw the diagnoses. He has NEVER been wrong with our pets. I trust this clinic with our fur babies.

I've never met a more uncaring and apathetic medical "professional" of any kind. When called about a medical emergency, he told us to come in, only to give us a paper with his referral code to another practice when we got there. He wasted precious critical time we didn't have. When I expressed my displeasure at this, he scoffed and sarcastically said to write him a bad review online. He boasted that he's been there for 40 years and is immune to negative reviews. I would never entrust any of my animals to such a dishonest individual.

The staff here was wonderful and so helpful. My puppy gets pretty nervous at the vet usually and started to warm up to them. The prices are more than fair as well I’ll definitely come back!

Dr Kuttel is an absolute joke. I have been begging for my pets vet records for a month so I can get their pet insurance set up. He YELLED at me when I had yo ask for it a 2nd time. He is 100 years old just looking for a paycheck.

Dr Kuttel is a very rude doctor. His practice is outdated. I was charged a lot for very poor service. I now have to spend double to see another doctor because he refuses to actually diagnose the issue. Instead of an allergy test he suggested an exclusionary diet and 'figure it out.'

My dog is almost completely deaf after the vet went against protocol and put medication in my dog’s ears without first cleaning them. The vet is geriatric and probably shouldn’t have a license to work as a vet anymore.

I'm usually not one to complain, but this vet literally threatened to euthanize my dog. I have a large dog (8 year old, 100lb lab/pitt mix), who is friendly, extremely mellow, and loves people. I was new to the area and needed a new vet for a teeth cleaning, so I brought him here cause it was local. The receptionist was friendly and sent me back. My dog was nervous and hid under my legs. The vet came in and was an older fellow. After explaining what I needed, he went to examine his teeth by lifting his lips. My dog was visible scared and kept trying to pull his head away. After a number of attempts, he opened his mouth and shook his head. The vet took that as some kind of attack, stood up, and told me "get him the hell out of here now. If he ever comes back, I'll euthanize him". I kid you not, he actually said that. I was speechless. He immediately starting pushing us towards the front. I asked if he was serious. He said "as serious as a heart attack". I said "what kind of vet says that?". He ignored me and walked away. The receptionist gave me this look like "yeah, this happens...". I had to sit down in the courtyard area and just collect myself from that. I never heard someone threaten to literally kill my dog (ie my support animal), let alone from a vet. I assumed he was having a (very) bad day, but I'm hearing from others that they have had similar experiences, so I'm now mortified that this man is in business. From other reviews, he seems to be ok with dogs unless they're difficult, then he really snaps. I'm assuming that vet has been traumatized or has had a rough upbringing in life. Either way, this man appears to have chosen the wrong profession.

I took my dog to this vet because she had hearing loss that had just started and had been going on for a couple weeks. The vet took her temperature and decided there was no infection. After I pressed him to check further, he inserted a long metal camera deep into her ear resulting in unbearable pain for my dog. So much so that it took two grown adults to hold her down! After that he still insisted there was no issue and sent me on my way. A week later my dog woke up at 2 am in extreme pain. I took her to another vet who discovered her ear was severely inflamed because of an inner ear yeast infection. Because this vet did not see such an obvious ear infection, my dog is now suffering possible permanent hearing loss. This vet is too old to be working on pets. He should be sued and put out of business for the pain and discomfort he put my dog through and STILL could not detect the issue she had in her ear. My dog had to endure 2 weeks of pain in her ear because this incompetent vet did not see an obvious severe ear infection.

I cannot believe it has taken me 8 years to find Dr John! He and Leona are just the best! I don't know what I'll do if and when he retires. He is so thorough and gentle. You won't find better and he takes his time with you!!

I have been going to another vet in Irvine for my yellow lab. When Dr. Cole retired, I didn't know what I was going to do. My dog needed a nail trim and a rabies vac and I saw that Huntington Harbour vet clinic was right down the street from me. I called and got an appointment for the next day. Once Ellie and I got there, it was amazing. Dr. Kuttel was awesome and Ellie loved him. Office was clean and prices we pretty good. All in all, we have a new vet and I don't have to get on the 405 to Irvine. Yay me!

Dr. Kuttel is so great. He's extremely knowledgeable, incredible bedside manner, and always willing to help. He explores all options with us and puts our pets as the highest priority. Our family has taken all our animals to him for over 30 years and will continue to do so. We highly recommend him.
