    We both love that I work from home.
    Nicole S.

    When I adopted Buddy, a friend referred me to her veterinarian, Dr Carr. My friend has worked/volunteered in animal organizations for 20+ years, so her recommendation was similar to Tiger Woods recommending a golf instructor. I wasn't going to question it. Not surprisingly, Dr Carr was initially unavailable, so I went on a wait list. After a few months, we were invited to join the Buckman family. I cannot put into words the love, quality of care, patience, and expertise of the *entire* staff--with a special shoutout to nurse Melanie! Also, I could not hide that I was a very anxious new mom. I was afraid my ignorance would in some way harm Buddy. Dr Carr and the nurses were as gracious, kind, and patient with *me* as much as they were with him. More recently, Buddy has been dealing with gastritis and skin allergies. I quickly discovered that there is an onslaught of information (and possibly misinformation) available from Dr Google. It is a tremendous relief to put the laptop away and have complete faith in Dr Carr's treatment plan.

    So grateful for Buckman vet, my boyfriend and I had to take our Australian Shepard Blu in to urgent care shortly after establishing care here. He is a sweet goofball but when he was sick he was 70lbs of uncooperative. The team here has such a great energy, doing everything possible to work with the pet before resorting to sedation and muzzling. We were seen quickly and kept informed on status and cost throughout the experience. When a minor post-visit issue was discovered it was promptly handled and you could tell they really wanted to know how to improve processes -- All the signs of a great team focused on providing the best possible care. We feel like our pup was in great hands.

    Buckman Vet has provided outstanding care for our cats. We have senior kitties each with medical conditions. Our eldest kitty passed away earlier this year and their compassion and care for end of life needs was flawless. We are so grateful that his final days were under their care. Our other senior kitty has had protein allergies and IBS for the last several years; prescription food was enough to manage her symptoms until this past year. She was in a lot of physical pain (dilated pupils, crying) and would spend most of the day/night hiding in dark spaces. Buckman was able to diagnose and treat her pain-- and now she is back to sleeping in the sun. See photo! Look at those narrow pupils! Lastly, I want to give special thanks to the team there for this outstanding service during COVID. Vet techs, support staff and vetrinarians have had one of the worst times during this pandemic. To receive such excellent care under such challenging times-- I don't have the proper words to express my gratitude to them.

    Having a dog- reactive dog and one who is not super compliant with exams (she can wiggle her way out of anything) makes going to the vet pretty stress- inducing. Buckman goes above and beyond to make sure everyone's needs are met and everyone is safe. While they sometimes are booked out a bit, they are quick to reach out and touch base to get more information and make sure something more serious isn't going on. While going to vet isn't ever fun for me or Goose, Buckman makes it a LOT better! Thank you guys for all you do

    I've taken my cat here a few times now, and everyone who works at Buckman has been wonderful. They've made time for emergency visits, gave me detailed explanations of different treatment options, and are always quick to get back to me when I have questions. My cat has had issues with UTIs and pancreatitis, and every time we've gone in they've helped him quickly get back on his feet (and helped me sleep better). I have a stubborn bengal cat who hates vet visits with a passion, but everyone at Buckman is so sweet to him even when he makes it clear he'd like to murder them. You can tell that everyone who works here truly loves animals, and they're great at what they do!

    We are so happy that we went to Buckman for a second opinion and now are loyal customers/patient. This is really one of the best customer service experience I have ever had, they are really next level. The staff is so kind, helpful and informed. Our cat really loves the vet and crew. We pay a monthly subscription at a vet down the street and are lock in a contract for a year. Even with that monthly subscription, Buckman Veterinary Clinic was still more affordable. Our kitty's dental surgery and cleaning cost hundreds of dollars less the if we went with our other vet.

    I have been taking my sweet baby here since she arrived at 10 weeks old and I have been absolutely blown away ever since!!! This place is AMAZING and they give EXCELLENT treatment. They are true life savers too. They are ALWAYS here for us. I am so in love with Buckman I cannot say enough good things. THANKYOU Buckman!! Me and Ripley don't know what we'd do without you.

    Alberta Veterinary has been my vet since I relocated to Portland three years ago. They've done a…read moreterrific job keeping my eldery Bichon alive and thriving. I couldn't be happier with their care. I'm a bit amazed by those reviews that claim higher prices than expected. For example, Ashtyn C didn't get a written quote for "teeth cleaning?" Really? Does this person have any idea what can be involved with any kind of dental work for a dog? It's likely to include general anaesthesia if it's a serious cleaning. And was it "just a cleaning?" Somehow I doubt that. By the way, a mouth is a mouth. It doesn't matter if your dog is a chihuahua or a great dane, the same costs apply. In fact, chihuahuas are prone to serious and difficult dental issues due to their small mouths and tiny jaws. I've never even had a Chihuahua as an animal companion and even I know that. There's a lot about Ashtyn C's review that doesn't pass the smell test -- including his ignorance about dogs and how veterinary services are priced and shared with consumers. Didn't like the price? Then don't sign the consent form for care. I have never been provided with a significant service by Alberta Veterinary without knowing -- up front -- how much every aspect of that service would cost or likely cost and the low and high limit of the possible bill. I suppose I should give them "special credit for this," but this is standard procedure for ALL VETS. Like every other vet -- primary care or emergency -- they ITEMIZE the quote for you, providing low and high parameters and the time period for which that quote is VALID. They will then go over every aspect of service that you have questions on. I have always been given the opportunity to decide what was an essential part of the service being planned. I have always known what the service would cost. I have never been "surprised" by them. And, let's see, Hi C claimed that staff tackled and laid on top of his dog? Now, why would that be? Why would they be afraid? What exact behavior was your dog exhibiting? Was it a danger to the staff? One would assume so. Dogs can be dangerous. And Hi C was right there and didn't stop them and say, "Let us leave and plan to come back later. Maybe he needs to be sedated." I'm sure that if Hi C had expressed those concerns and sentiments, they would have accommodated their requiest. Hi C's probably the kind of dog owner who doesn't understand why they're supposed to pick up their dog's crap when out on a walk. No doubt, the world revolves around Hi C's sense of entitlement. Newsflash: my dog visits Alberta Veterinary at least once a month for a tech visit. He has never left traumatized. Then again, he's well behaved and well socialized. Maybe Hi C needs to be a little less "Hi" and a little more sensible about the behavior of their pet. Too many people these days don't use their heads, don't plan ahead, or don't plan at all. Or they blame others for their own shortcomings like not training and managing their animal companions well. Vet care is expensive. I'm low-income myself and sympathize with anyone struggling to afford vet care and sometimes having to make painful choices about what care is essential, what is crucial to my dog's quality of life, and what I can afford. If you're a pet owner who can't financially manage "surprises," then make sure you're not "surprised." Get a written quote, look into financing options, and/or see about accessing care for low-income pet owners through charitable organizations. Alberta Vet has never advertised itself as a "low cost" or "charity care" vet clinic so don't expect them to behave as one. Regardless, I have always found their costs for service highly competitive, if not fairly low. Moreover, they've ALWAYS provided me a written estimate up front for any significant care before getting my approval to procede. That includes the cost of a simple exam, a vet tech visit for monthly services, to surgery. They also do a very good job ensuring security for all patients and being aware when some patients are "reactive." That includes asking other people and their pets to vacate common areas when a reactive and potentially dangrous animal is going to be coming through.

We spent all day at home with our girl, knowing we would have to have her euthanized, but didn't have the money. After speaking to our vet about our financial limitations, they told us to contact DoveLewis. Unfortunately, we were above the income requirement to get full assistance, but the total cost was less than any of the at home euthanasia places we contacted as well as cheaper than our normal vet. We arrived around 8:30 pm with our dog and requested their services. We got right into a room with her. They were very kind and empathetic. They were helpful in explaining everything. They allowed us to sit with our girl for as long as we wanted before and after the procedure (we were with her during as well). Letting her go was such a difficult, heartbreaking decision. DoveLewis made it a lot easier on us. I will forever be grateful for the kind staff and for them assisting us in parting with our sweet girl.

The communication has been proactive and clear, the pricing reasonable and also clearly communicated, everyone on the team from the folks at the front desk, to the techs, to the doctors have been incredibly friendly to people and pets alike.

TL;DR - Our dog was misdiagnosed by one of the doctors at Brooklyn Yard, which led to a cancerous tumor growing for months. It was not responsive to any kind of treatment by the time she was properly diagnosed, and my sweet girl has since passed. I discovered a new lump on my dog in early December, and the doctor did a fine needle aspiration. Instead of sending it to a pathologist, she assumed it was a lipoma given my dog's history and the fact she couldn't see any "cellular activity." This led countless back and forth visits to Brooklyn Yard, and their urgent care, Spruce, along with thousands spent in testing and imaging. For months, they led us in circles, insistent it wasn't cancer, despite my poor girl presenting so many symptoms that I now know are common for mast cell tumors. All it took to properly diagnose my dog was another fine needle aspiration, which a specialist sent to a pathologist. This is what Brooklyn Yard should have done to begin with. By this point, though, her tumor was too large and complex for surgery, and treatments like palladia and chemo were not effective. Also, when Brooklyn Yard first received the updated medical records and diagnosis from our specialist, their team called us, not to apologize or offer support, but to tell me they were canceling my dog's upcoming dental cleaning. They have yet to reach out since her passing last month. I am absolutely devastated and can't help but think how different things could have been if we hadn't put so much trust in the doctors at Brooklyn Yard. I miss my girl so much and will never be able to trust another animal in their care.
