They make an extra effort to get to know their patients and find out what they need. They always remember me and make me feel very important. They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been too. They always make an extra effort to be polite and courteous. The kennels and holding area for pets were so clean and spotless, I would recommend them for sure if you need to leave your pet for a few days. I am going to refer everyone I know here. I absolutely love this place. This veterinarian was so compassionate when my pet was sick. I can tell that they really cared about my pet's well-being and reassured me that things would be alright.

Whenever I make an appointment, I'm always confident that they're going to be ready for me at my scheduled time. At other places I've been to, it's always bothered me when they postpone my appointment, but they've never done that here. It was nice to hear how much the staff respected them. It made me that much more confident that I was under the care of a professional. I love that they are always more than happy to answer my questions, and actually welcome questions. I've felt awkward at some other places I've visited when I've tried to ask a lot of questions, but not here. They always take that extra step to make me feel special. I always enjoy my appointments here. They were very sympathetic to my situation, and made me feel cared for. I knew that I could count on them at all times. This canned review of Dr. Alters vet hospital was essentially correct but I found him to be an excellent vet who cared about his clients above as else, but then also cared about their owners. If you care about your pet Dr. Alter is your man.
