I adopted my first Pet (Harper the cat) since April 5 2023, from an overcrowded shelter (yes she almost got euthanized). After more than a year, I finally brought her to do some checkup and vaccinations, and my friend recommended Alta Vista Veterinary Clinic. My whole experience in this place has been great. They let me know in advance what need to be done, how much it cost, why it needs to be done, etc. After the treatment, my cat looks and acts even better than before, and it also gives me a great peace of mind that my pet's health is in good hands. I will come back again (at least once a year for a checkup, or anytime when my little Harper needs medical assistance). Overall, this is a 5/5 experience.

Dr. Buddy is probably the best out there she understands your situation and can find out the best way to help your pet! Louie has been a regular since he was born and will be bringing all my pets here!

Well I’m a picky and straight forward person. Dr. Budde is the same. I highly recommend her if you are a picky pet owner. How me and my daughter loved the exam my cat and dog received.

The staff was wonderful...5 stars to them. Zero stars for this veterinarian. Why, you ask? I brought my 3-year-old dog here, about a year ago, for a bump that it appeared on her leg. I didn't know where it came from and thought maybe it was an infected nip from our other dog while playing. The bump started out very small and very quickly got very big and gross on our skinny little short-haired dog's leg. When we came in the staff was very nice and our dog was seen for an exam. The veterinarian's recommendation was a complete shock to me. I can only imagine she was operating from the assumption that it was a cancerous bump and her recommendation was either biopsy or amputation followed by biopsy. She strongly suggested going for amputation directly because it would be cheaper than doing two surgical procedures, one for the biopsy and another for amputation. I was in complete shock. I went for a second opinion and ended up doing a lumpectomy and biopsy, which came back negative for cancer. Fast forward lots of different specialist fees and tons of money for diagnosis... we learned that my dog had lymphoma. I won't go into all the details of her treatment at other places because the care she received at the other places was excellent, even though there was not a cure in her future. However, I would have been so horrified and guilty feeling, had I listened to this veterinarian's recommendation and amputated my poor dog's leg, only to find out later that would have been completely unnecessary and would have helped nothing whatsoever. I'm definitely glad I did not follow her recommendations and this veterinarian's "cut first ask questions later" mentality. If I had, my dog's quality of life would have been so horrible for her last year on this Earth. If any veterinarian recommends amputation first thing and you have any doubts whatsoever, please get a second opinion. I will never return to this vet or recommend anyone bring their beloved pet here.
