The three things I like about this place: 1. Great, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. 2. Easy to make appointments - often same-day. 3. Excellent pricing. Negatives: 1. The outside of the building isn't too pretty, but personally I could care less. Ugly buildings usually mean lower prices, right? 2. There isn't a lot of separation in the waiting room. You get a few people in there and it's hard to keep the animals apart. This isn't a problem for me, mind you - but I could see how it would be bad if your dog/cat was aggr... read more
Don't be deceived by the very simple outer veneer of this place - all that is gold does not glitter, right? I just adopted a kitten and needed to get him in for his first vet visit. I'm new to the Lakewood area and didn't have a vet already lined up, so I kind of blindly decided to go with proximity and visit the Alameda Vet Clinic (it's a whopping 4 blocks from our house). I also thought I had heard a few online friends sing its praises, so going on both potential pros I took my little Scooter Bill there this afternoon. ... read more
This is a really great Veterinary Clinic - they're open at useful hours - including the weekends, they're very friendly, and they really know their stuff.
Very poor service!!! I made an appointment for my dog to get a rabies shot and asked SPECIFICALLY several times if my pet had to have an exam before she was given the shot and they assured me that I could get the shot without an exam. When we took her in, they claimed we had to pay for an exam before they would give her a shot. They claimed that by law they had to give an exam, yet they gave us a list of other places to get the shot without the exam. Earlier this year my pet had an ear infection and was put on medicati... read more
If I could give less than one star, I would. They continue to be pissy and weird long after I refused to go to them anymore. Just awful.
Avoid at all costs! This is my neighborhood vet clinic. I have been going here for years, and I knew that they were overcharging, but I had no idea how much until I tried to get my dog neutered. They insisted on blood work, although no one else did. When I came for the appointment, I asked what the charge would be for the procedure. After trying to avoid telling me for a bit, they finally handed me a piece of paper with a total of $1100. I immediately left and made an appointment with someone else. The entire procedure cost ... read more
I really, really wanted to like Alameda Vet Clinic, as the staff is generally pleasant and it's close to my house. I gave them multiple chances, but after my recent experiences I now have no other choice but to seek care for my dog elsewhere. As far as annual check-ups go, I never had any issues. But when other problems began to arise with her, I was truly able to see how incompetent and apathetic the staff at this office truly is. My dog is suffering from some health issues (she's asymptomatic, but her blood tests are comi... read more
WARNING: MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. Do not trust with allergies, dermatology, or his judgment regarding what is an emergency situation. Short story: Dr. Howard (mis?)diagnosed my 2yo dog's extremely itchy skin as food allergy induced pyoderma. He gave her 8 different medications including Apoquel and high doses of prednisone over the course of several days trying to manage her symptoms. A month later, she contracted viral pneumonia which killed her. He never warned me about side effects or advised me of any further symptoms to w... read more
Have been bringing our pets here for years. They helped with the passing of our cat, and we also have two dogs that we bring in regularly. Unfortunately, the last 4 or 5 times I've been in, the women working have been so rude. We have moved recently, so they're no longer the closest to us. We were considering finding another vet anyway, but I was in today and the attitude of everyone in there confirmed that we will be finding another place to spend our money. Dr. Howard, however, is a gem and we will miss him terribly!
