Had a great experience at Alpine Veterinary hospital! Brought two of my dogs there for teeth cleaning. One of the cleanings was quite extensive, with several extractions needed. The vet tech Damon explained everything clearly and in great detail, and there were no surprises. Highly recommend!

Alpine vet diagnosed our border collie with Pannus, we were having a hard time figuring what was going on with him, got him on medication which helped, and for the last 2.5 yrs he's been improving and about at 100% through changing his diet,and he's no longer on any medication

This is very unfortunate. My dog was nurtured here and after the surgery the sutures needed to be removed, which most of them were the last one seemed like it was a bit difficult for the technician to take out so she informed me that the suture would dissolve on its own. Six months goes by and the suture did not dissolve instead, it seem like there was a bump on the inside I had taken her back and without even touching it, they insured me that it will disappear and here I am a year and a half later, and my dog had an infection on her belly . This was my fault for believing in Dr VIRK and these technicians . When I took my dog in this last time I made sure I said I wanted it out it’s bothering her it took to this point to where they could spare time to do this , when they pulled the sutures out it seemed like a whole shoe lace with a knot at the end . I know for the fact my dog was hurting from it now she allows me to touch her belly and he tail wags wayyy more . Please do better and take care of these animals better .

NEVER TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! They misdiagnosed my dog, and have caused her many years of pain because of it. We now have to put her on many medications and have had to get her various surgeries. So, I repeat DO NOT go here.

I walked in 20 minutes before closing time because my dog was bitten by another dog at Newhall Park! The Dr. Deborah, and the receptionist nurse were so nicely welcoming and making my dog and myself comfortable! Can’t thank them enough.

HIGHLY recommend this veterinarian hospital. I'm serious, please don't hesitate to select Alpine as your go-to, you will not be disappointed. These are the kind of people that you want to take care of your pets. My family used Alpine for our animals as I grew up and now I take my animals here too. So much compassion. Understood our financial situation and went above and beyond to make sure our animals received the best care possible. Nothing but wonderful things to say about our experiences. I will never take my animals anywhere else!

Dr Freeman is the best vet ever. He is wise and most knowledgeable. The Staff is helpful and friendly. Location is gorgeous with a giant tree and lots of parking.

Would give negative stars if I could. They almost killed my cat, weren’t giving me updates on his condition, tried to coerece me into leaving him there, and then did not provide adequate medical records for transfer of care to an ER.They have called my mother repeatedly about overdue vaccines for a dog that has been long deceased, as well as call me about her other dog.

My dog has recently been very Ill with pyometra and kidney failure, however Dr.Virk, the vet techs, and staff have been nothing but amazing going above and beyond to get her back to health. They are so welcoming and very informative. I am so very thankful for finding a vet that cares for our animals just as much as we do.

My family started taking our pets to Dr. Virk in the 90's and once I got my two dogs I also started taking them to see him. I moved to Oregon for a few years and one of my dogs got sick and I went to two different vets trying to get her diagnosed. I eventually sent Dr. Virk her lab results and told him everything that was happening. He called me back and gave me the information and support to finally get her diagnosed and establish a treatment plan. She wasn't even a current patient of his and he still was super kind and helpful. Now that I'm back in California I'm happily taking my pets to him again. I would never consider seeing anyone else!

I highly recommend Dr. Virk and his amazing staff at Alpine Veterinary Hospital. He is very dedicated to his patient's needs, provides recommendations, and optimal care treatment to improve one’s pet needs. Ever since I started taking my dog to see Dr. Virk, my dog’s heart condition has been stable. With the optimal care that Dr. Virk has provided my dog, my dog has been able to undergo 2 surgeries without any complications. My dog has a hard time trusting people and with Dr. Virk and his staff, my dog feels completely safe.

This review is long overdue. Dr. Virk has been helping me and my family with our own animals & rescues for the past five years. From all the minor bumps and bruises like broken toe nails & stitches to giving me a discount on a litter of kittens that I found & rescued that I needed to get fixed to performing multiple mast cell tumor removal on my elderly pitbull to even cleaning teeth! Sometimes the wait in the waiting room for your pet might be a tad longer than expected but remember that’s because these people are busy saving pet lives in the back!! Anything you need you will get quality care for an honest price here. It’s not the most glamorous vets office around but you will not find a single other vet who is genuinely here to help you and to help animals. I can’t say the same for other greedy practices in the area. This place is one of the few offices that’s still here “for the animals” and not for the money that Bay Area pet parents might have. I trust Dr Virk more than any other vet in the bay! Don’t second guess bringing your pets here. Don’t believe the negative reviews. They’re from people who prefer the fake money-hungry vets over the genuine people here.

I have a cat (Duma) with a very bad respiratory infection that she couldn't shake. Alpine vet staff and Dr. Virk have done everything they can with care and compassion. I recommend this place.
