They are super nice! I love the staff there. You can truly tell that everyone there really loves the animals so you know that they'll do their best. It's definately on the expensive side -- esp for heartworm and frontline. They also charged me to show me how to cut my dog's nails. I thought that was cheesy. I think that they are knowledgeble enough for every day things but I was surprised that the female vet wasn't more knowledgeble about hip displaysia. I was planning on seeing a specialist anyway but she didn't ev... read more

I LOVE Alpine Vet! I drive all the way from Alexandria, VA to have Alpine take care of our dog. We have a 3 legged Golden Lab & the Dr. always goes out of her way to do a full exam...even getting on the floor & feeling every inch of our dog's body. The staff (everyone) is very friendly & helpful. They really make you feel like family...not just a customer. They also love animals & you can tell the animals they treat are their top priority. Alpine has been wonderful in emergency situations as well as for the routine che... read more

Poor communications. I brought my cat here twice, once to get him neutered and once to get him chipped. On both occasions, the staff failed to inform me of the full process until after the procedure. After neutering, my cat unexpectedly came home with a cone of shame he had to wear for 10 days, after which he had to return to get his stitches removed. The cone of shame was a major inconvenience for him, not something any of my prior cats needed after neutering, and all my other cats had returned with dissolving stitches so t... read more

I'm sorry to say that after 10 years of using Alpine, and being happy with them for routine care, they sorely disappointed us when our sweet dog really got sick. We brought our dog in on a Thursday to Alpine because our dog was bleeding from his gums. The vet said it should go away. On Saturday we were concerned it was really bleeding a lot - a real lot - so we took him back and saw another vet. He said that our dog needed testing but he didn't want to do it because it was close to closing time. He told us to return on Mon... read more

I brought my cat in for a urinary track infection. The vet gave me medicine and soon after taking it my cat got extremely lethargic and quit eating. All she did is lie down down by the water dish and hang her head over it, bleary eyed, lapping water now and again. I called the vet and told her my cat seemed to be having a reaction to the medicine. She said that was not possilble as the medicine had no side effects. After a day I called again because my cat was going downhill. The vet laughed at me and ridiculed me beca... read more

I brought my cat in here because she's been having urinary issues. I felt that they were unnecessarily cruel when they were handling her. They were forcing her head down onto the table and a couple times I heard her head hitting the table. When I asked if they could be a little more gentle, they dismissed my concerns and took her out of the room saying "We'll see what we can do." More than half an hour passed where I was sitting in the room with no idea what was going on. I could only hear my cat crying in the next room, a... read more

I TRIED to take my dog here but was so put off in the lobby that I left and found another vet. I was a new client and when I showed up and checked in, I attempted to give the assistant at the front my dog's medical records. She said she didn't have time and told me to sit down. Just as I sat down, she said, "Oh I can take those now." I proceeded to wait for 40 minutes in the lobby, my dog being stressed out the whole time. I was never told why they were running so late, and they never apologized for not seeing me on tim... read more
