Dr. Klein and his assistant Brooke put us at ease right away. The vet was patient, friendly and compassionate. He answered all my questions and took his time. Brooke was very friendly too. Dr. Klein recommended a change in diet for my cat which was very helpful. My cat also received the care she needed, as she was not feeling well. I felt very comfortable there, and I highly recommend Alison Animal Hospital.

Dr. Ryan was AWESOME. Super thorough, answered all of our questions thoughtfully, and was so kind and patient with our dog. The assistants (nurses?) were also amazing - and the front desk staff is always so awesome. We also had a dog pass away last summer and the entire staff there, Dr. Klein included, were truly caring and very thorough with her care, especially her end of life care. Best vets we've ever had!

We use this Animal Hospital routinely for our 1.5 year old Bombay cat. Earlier today, we emergency evacuated from our building due to a spreading fire throughout the complex. There was no time to grab a carrier, blanket, food, etc. for our young cat. I carried him out in my arms immediately as smoked filled the building. Given the Vet’s around the corner from our address, I brought our cat to them right away since our cat was clearly in distress (significantly elevated heart rate) and may have been exposed to harmful fumes and smoke. It was a necessary precaution given cats delicate respiratory systems. We were turned away immediately. Please note, I did not request a scan or any immediate assistance. I simply asked for a place to set our cat down so he could regain his composure. Very disappointing. It appears their staff will tend to your pets needs if you’ve paid their overly excessive fees but when it comes to actual emergencies they will neglect to help without hesitation or apology. In this case, they demonstrated an unbelievable lack of empathy toward the animals they vow to treat.

Best Vet I’ve ever been too! They took excellent care of my dog and worked very hard to make sure he was comfortable and happy. They offered him treats and gave him peanut butter throughout his exam to distract him from shots and bloodwork. Definitely recommend bringing your pets here. I know I will for sure be making this my dogs primary vet!

I am writing to state that I had to withdraw my previous review due to the threat of possible legal action. Said notice wasn't via Google but elsewhere, but I figured I should do the same here, since the reviews were identical. The following was the prime motivator: "your words are ultimately your responsibility, and what you post on Yelp can have legal ramifications." Though I will repeat one aspect from my previous review, which is how the business in question are is the rich & wealthy, and as such has more than enough resources to bankrupt a poor civil servant such as myself. Please consider that when choosing a vet if you truly love your pet.
