Monarch Veterinary Hospital

GLENN CRAFT, DVM, KELLY ALCALA, DVM, AND STACY BAUMANN, DVM

Monarch Veterinary Hospital was established in 2002 into Clubhouse Plaza on Niguel Road, tucked in the Hills of South Laguna Niguel. Pet owners in this community love to take their dogs for long walks down the canyon to Salt Creek or Dana Point Harbor, or to the many local parks. MVH is known for exceptional pet healthcare, building long-lasting, trusting relationships with clients, and keeping the culture of the practice such that it is non-chaotic, peaceful, and a place their pets enjoy visiting.

The recent completion of a year-long expansion project has doubled MVH’s space, assuring its practice culture for the future. It now offers 4 exam rooms, a spacious, peaceful lobby, a full-service grooming area, and room to accommodate what it calls “senior spa days” to keep the aged pets strong and active.

Dr. Glenn Craft and his wife, Lisa, envisioned just such a facility when they returned home to California after spending 4 years serving in Thailand with Christian Veterinary Mission, a community development NGO that operates in the poorest parts of the world where livestock is the main key to the local economy. Once home, by working together, they have established a veterinary practice that balances compassionate personal touch with exceptional high-tech veterinary medicine, without compromising a high standard of care. The hospital continues to offer the full range of veterinary professional services from wellness checks, immunizations, general surgery, dental care, therapeutic laser, ultrasound, as well as digital radiography with STAT radiology consults available. The staff at MVH is deeply experienced and provides a level of expertise you can trust.

Four years ago, Dr. Kelly Alcala became an Associate DVM at MVH and brings with her an impressive reputation of being very compassionate and highly competent. A year ago, Dr. Stacy Baumann became an Associate DVM as well, with a 20-year history of practice in Orange County. These doctors, along with Dr. Craft, are very like-minded in practice, and in their communication style with clients. All 3 doctors have established strong relationships with carefully chosen specialists at facilities in South Orange County, including a cardiologist, Dr. Fred Brewer, who comes to the practice whenever he is needed, and Dr. Shenandoah Diehl, who is available for expert ultrasonography and consultation.

From the beginning, Monarch Veterinary Hospital’s goal has been to deliver a personal experience that exceeds the pet owner’s expectations at each and every visit. MVH’s consistently positive reviews exemplify its commitment to delivering quality care and the staff takes pride in providing the best customer service possible.
