I had a feeling that Dr. Hooykaas was a wonderful veterinarian the first time I saw him at the clinic. He was carrying a very large cat out of the hospital area and the big smile on his face and the warmth he showed to that cat convinced me that he was one of those rare doctors who truly loved the animals that he treated. My husband Don and I have had Dr. Hooykaas care for our beloved Golden Retrievers through all stages of their lives. He gave love and respect to our aging Goldens, and he has joyfully cared for our three 5 year old Goldens since their first appointment as puppies. We are all appreciative to have Dr. Hooykaas taking care of the health and wellness of our dogs.

Dr Hooykaas has been our vet for years. He has always taken such great care of us and our fur babies! He was even such a great support for us when we had to go through the loss of our Golden Retriever. With our French Bulldog puppy, he is familiar with the quirks of the breed and always keeps our pets healthy and happy!

We’ve been taking our dog, Kona, to Dr. Jeff Hooykaas since she was a puppy. She’s now eleven years old and continues to receive excellent care. Dr. Jeff has a way with animals that is quite remarkable and his office staff will always go out of their way to help. There’s no reason to go anywhere other than the Seal Beach Animal Hospital!

In the past, I have always had my guard up at veterinary offices because I felt as though veterinarians try to oversell their services, and get you to spend extraordinary amounts of money. Dr Hooykaas is the most trustworthy, honest, no nonsense vet I have ever had. I never question that he has my animal’s best interest in mind, and he has a very realistic approach. He is very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and straight forward. I’ve been driving 30 minutes to his office for over the past 8 years because the peace of mind I have going to him is worth it. We are extremely thrilled that Dr Hooykaas is opening his own practice in our hometown of Seal Beach. We will be taking our animals to him for as long as he practices veterinary medicine, simply because he is the best in the biz!

For many, their dogs and cats are like family. When their pets need care, the expectation is the medical treatment will comport with this deep attachment . Jeffrey Hooykaas, DVM understands his "patients" are near and dear to their owner's hearts. His care, understanding and exceptional skills as a physician, bring a comprehensive approach to his veterinary practice. What is best for the animal is central in his diagnosis and treatment. For over eleven years, my dogs have received the very best medical care from Dr. Jeffrey Hooykaas - a veterinarian with uncanny diagnostic instincts, medical expertise and compassion.

Dr. Hooykaas is extremely helpful, and takes your needs into consideration as he is suggesting treatment. He worked with my level of comfort in regards to extreme measures while treating my Great Pyrenees. He is very caring, and reassured me that I was making the right decisions for treatment. He treated my pup like she was his own. He took time to listen, and made some great suggestions before proceeding with the next level of care. Not only is he awesome with animals, he has great people skills as well (which is not true for many vets!)
