Technological Advances and your Veterinarian

  Technology has taken doctors and veterinarians to places we never thought possible.  We are able to learn about new disease processes, provide better diagnostic therapy, and treat diseases with greater efficiancy while being less invasive.  Few times do human patients or owners of veterinary patients get the opportunity to see some of the technology that helps make them or their pets healthier.  At Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center we not only boast the highest technology the market offers, but we share this technology with our clients, providing them the ability to be hands-on in the diagnostic and treatment processes of their pets.  From general yearly blood work to management of cancer or surgical cases, we offer a state-of-the-art center that provides your pet with human medicine and surgery, and you with the information you need to help the doctors manage your pets care.  In addition to a very high quality technical service, this hospital has gone above and beyond to make sure sterility is at the forefront of their every day practices.  

  Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center has built a 3,000-square-foot facility created by one of the top human hospital designers.  This has allowed us to create a surgical suite with size specifications calculated to produce the lowest bacteria load per square foot while also being ventilated to the outside.  Our isolation area is created with all glass to allow us to see your sick pets at all times, and is again ventilated to the outside to protect the healthy pets from dangerously contagious viruses.  We have installed a water purification system throughout the hospital allowing the staff to keep the hospital virus and bacteria free with every turn of the faucet, and your pets are also bathed in this water allowing us to remove even more debris that you cannot see from your pet’s coat.  The water system is made by a company called EcoSafe, and the system is named Ozone. The system works by attaching an extra oxygen molecule to H2O, creating H3O which ultimately is bacteriocidal, and viracidal.  This new molecule remains active in water for 20 minutes, then returns back to its original form, H2O.   

  Not only does this progressive veterinary center provide the cleanest environment around, we also have the latest in technology allowing clients to receive e-mails with their pet's lab work, x-rays, weights, vaccine schedules, specialists consults and more.  We can provide charting of any trends in our database and have them to you in your email at the click of a mouse.   We have digital x-rays that are read by board certified radiologists in a matter of minutes allowing the most accurate interpretation of your pet’s radiographs, and the interpretation can be emailed to you for your records right away.  We offer digital dental x-ray for all our dental cleanings, and can also have those radiographs read by a dental specialist as needed.  All these images are available to you on a CD at no extra charge.

  If you are looking for the highest quality pet food in town please look no further.  If you have pet insurance from a reputable company, we have pet food from Royal Canin and Hills.  These two companies are considered the best in the industry and many insurance companies will offer some sort of money back for your pet food purchases if you buy food manufactured by either of these two companies.  We gladly provide all your Royal Canin and Hills choices, and will fill out your insurance information and send it in for you at no extra charge.  

  Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center has two goals in mind: Healthy pets and client service.  We are striving to be better every day, and we have the technology and the facility to meet those goals.  Please feel free to call or come in and get a tour of our facility and meet the doctor and the staff.  We are a welcoming group and love to meet new families and their pets.  We are not shy about showing our facility and answering any questions you may have regarding our technology, janitorial care, or how we can better serve you and your pet.  Our address is 30051 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Niguel, 92677, or we can be reached at www.aliciapacific.com, or at 949-388-8499.
