Growing up in South Orange County, Dr. Bahou graduated, with honors, from University High School in 1986. He continued working at the same veterinary hospital in Irvine while attending Chapman University on a soccer scholarship; graduating with a B.A. in History in 1991.
He continued his education at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, in St. Kitts-West Indies. There he learned both textbook and practical veterinary medicine and surgery. He finished his veterinary schooling, completing his clinical year at Oklahoma State University in 1994. Dr. Bahou also completed an externship in Dermatology with Dr. Reedy in Dallas, Texas.
Since graduating veterinary school in 1994, Dr. Bahou has been practicing medicine, focusing on individualized, personal care. His special interests include: Dermatology, Internal Medicine, soft tissue surgery and holistic medical therapy.
It has been a dream of Dr. Bahou to own a small animal hospital where he could offer the most comprehensive balance of traditional Western and Holistic Medical Therapy, in a caring and compassionate environment. At Alisos Animal Hospital, Dr. Bahou can finally provide this level of care.
I have a 2 year old male Pit-bull named Donut, a 6 month old male Dachshund names Vino, and a 5 year old quarter horse named Spinner. In my free time I like to hang out with my family, my 2 beautiful daughters, and ride our horses.
Please don’t get me wrong, I love people and animals, which is why I’m the official “welcomer.” I’m just moody and have the type of face that says, “I’m better than you.”
You will often find me lounging on one of my many favorite spots, so feel free to say hi, but no touching.
Alisos Animal Hospital is a well rounded hospital that uses different approaches to veterinary medicine, and I learn something new each day I come to work.
I enjoy spending time with my two cats, Binx and Mochi, as well as listening to music.
Amanda deals with animals and their people with compassion because she knows how much animals mean to all of us. Along with her wonderful husband and two children, Amanda has a dog named Luna and a cat named Thor. When she has time, you will find her at the beach.
Jake is compassionate, understanding, and very empathetic; all good traits to possess working in this field.
When he finds free time, he like to go to the gym, play basketball and dream of one day owning a 1967, four-door Chevy Impala.
Jake, we too hope you get to own that car because if anyone deserves it, it’s you.
We rescued him from animal control and he must have been owned by someone who dressed him up because he absolutely loves his sweater collection.
He also is spoiled and our clinic is full of his various toys, beds and even a cat tower.
Please stop by and say hi when you can. Once you experience his huge face and jowls in your hands, you will be as addicted to him as we are.
