Long (and long overdue) five star review. My cat Fritz 🐈 had a giant lump in his throat. I started going to another vet to drain the mass and was given advice that Fritz should be put down. As Fritz was a dear family member I was loathe to do that. So we kept going back about once a month to drain the cyst(?). After about 4 weeks the lump would come back and make breathing, eating and sleeping hard for poor Fritz. I tried another vet hoping for better news. That vet charged me double for the draining and also told me to put the cat down. My son was going through a difficult time and Fritz is really about the best friend he has, so desperately I went to see Alexander Animal Hospital. I was told that Dr. Alexander was a fabulous surgeon and to come back and see if he could perform some sort of magic on Fritz. I did so, knowing that Fritz was down to his last shot. Dr. Alexander came in like a whirlwind, the hair, the flowing robes, his whole aura changed my outlook on Fritz' impending death. He was a breath of fresh air! He told us that potentially Fritz could be saved and to bring him back just 3 days later. He would take lunch off Monday and perform the surgery. It was my decision to forego the thousands of dollars it would cost on CAT scans and imaging. Fritz was near death anyway and I reasoned that if surgery didn't work he was going to have to be put down anyway. Well, I'm happy to say that months later Fritz is doing wonderfully. Dr. Alexander is a lifesaver. No recurrence of the lump, and he is happy and healthy, back to his old frisky self. He probably does have hyperthyroidism as he's eating and drinking and peeing for an animal three times his weight, but the good Dr. cautioned that was a strong possibility. We need to get that looked at. For now the family and Fritz are enjoying this new lease on life. Dr. Alexander performed the surgery expertly, and saved our dear friend's life. I couldn't recommend this practice any higher. The warm staff and excellent treatment...I wish I could give 10 stars! Tears are welling up as I write this. Thank you truly Dr. Alexander and staff, you have a client for life!

I have recently switched over to Alexander Animal Hospital a year ago and they have been great! Dr Alexander and Dr Mason are amazing! I take my cat and dog to them and they both take their time examining my animals and answer all my questions. My cat recently had a dental procedure and had some reactions to a medication he received, but Dr Alexander has been very easy to reach and has been doing everything he can to make sure my cat is okay. My animals are my family and it’s relieving to find a place I can trust with them. I highly recommend Alexander Hospital and I’m very glad I made the switch to them!

This is the best Veterinary Hospital we’ve ever used. If I could give them a million stars I’d would. Dr. Mason and Dr. Alexander along with their staff are truly amazing! They took excellent care of our yellow lab “Apollo” for over a year. He was 14 years old, had a lot of health issues. Both Vets gave us all that extra time with him. So very grateful 🥲 My husband called Dr. Mason the other night and he stayed after hours with his wonderful staff cuz we knew it was”Apollos” time. These people are so very special. We will always remember them with love and gratitude! If you don’t change your Veterinarian services to them, I feel sorry for your pet and you as the pet owner! Thank you 🙏🏼 Dr. Mason for being you ♥️

Just wanted to share our experience at the vet's office. Dr. Mason was so great with Sonya, taking the time to answer all our questions. The whole team, from the front desk to the treatment room, was really nice. We highly recommend this clinic if you need a good veterinarian.

I’ve been going to this clinic for nearly 8 years now and even though I moved over an hour away my pets still come back here! The staff are amazing and Dr.A and Dr.Mason always work with me and go out of their way to help me and my pets! I do not recommend anyone else ever!
