Dr Lampert of KL RANCH is an excellent veterinarian. He has been taking care of my many animals…read morefor many years. I have dogs and cats. Even a rabbit. He comes to my home and my shy animals go right to him. Call it animal magnetism. He has treated many conditions from, Lyme disease, neutering, exams, stitches, dental, and euthanasia; and much more. I feel his prices are really reasonable for his services. We're moving and he will be missed.

Brian sits on the floor with our animals and really sets them at ease for their exams. It helps that he's here in our own home! KL Ranch has reasonable fees, even including his travel fees, we find him to be less expensive than a local vet we've had to use when Brian has been out of town. Brian has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and compassion, all the things you want and need in a vet!

Dr Scire and the assistants did everything for him including giving him an IV,full examination and sent us home with medication and food to make him feel better. They even called us the next morning to see how he was doing. We have been taking our pets there for many years when doctor Steve barsanti owned the clinic. Dr scire has maintained the same compassionate care to all her patients. We can't thank her enough,and really appreciate her and her staff. Thank you so much dr. Scire. Wayne and Diane Ulwick.

I had met Dr. Scire's husband at a Laconia based business in January of 2024…read more Through the course of regular conversation, as I was looking for "Rescue Remedy" for my dog, because I had a gift certificate for his store, I mentioned that I was also looking for a new Veterinarian as well. I was delighted when he told me about "their" Alton Veterinary Clinic! Dr. Scire and her staff, from front desk to all the Technicians, were always kind to me which I appreciated because I was going through some very significant health challenges and associated financial changes as well, and I really needed to have a "happy" experience for myself and my dog, Garrison! His needs were: vaccinations, heartworm check, dentistry, and an aggressively growing lump removed. The first visit covered vaccinations, heartworm, fecal and urinalysis. The second visit included his preop bloodwork. The third visit was for the dentistry and surgery performed under one anesthesia, and the fourth visit was for suture removal (included in the fee for the surgery). The charges were as expected and came in UNDER the high end of the range that was quoted. Thankfully, the growth cytology came back benign for cancer! I will always be able to recommend Alton Veterinary Clinic because they were willing to work with the "Scotties Rock Foundation", my source for the funding of Garrison's needs while I was going through cancer screening for myself. I forgot to mention that I am also a Hemorrhagic Stroke survivor as well, dealing with a left side deficit of strength, and they were very accommodating of my medical handicap and personal needs. They also are one of a very limited number of Animal Hospitals in the Lakes Region that still offer a Senior Citizen discount! I will forever be indebted to Dr. Scire and her excellent staff, for their kindness towards Garrison and me!

Kaitlin is now 37 years old, and throughout her childhood we have had 4 other sheltie dogs, most recently Maya, now 3 years old.

Dr Taylor has seen all our pets throughout their lives and for those who needed to be euthanized. He is very professional, has a sense of humor, and provides loving care for all our animals. We are so grateful for his care and dignity when we had to have our dogs put down, due to cancer, etc. We love Dr. Taylor and his staff.

My husband and I have been taking our three golden retrievers to this veterinary clinic since we…read moremoved to the area last March. It's a beautiful office, the vets are well qualified and the staff has almost always been courteous, professional and upbeat. That changed yesterday. Several weeks ago we booked an appointment for annual check-ups/shots for all three dogs. We showed up for the appointment on time. The clinic was running behind considerably, by almost 30 minutes. Things happen, and docs get backed up. I understand that. A heads up call would have been nice, though. As we were waiting in the parking lot, my husband needed to use the restroom. Most adults can hold it. He can't. He's a 3x cancer survivor (sarcoma). His chemo treatment has left him unable to hold it. After sitting in the car in anguish, he politely knocked on the clinic door fully masked, told her he was fully vaccinated and asked if he could use the restroom. The woman with the blue hair (sorry, I don't know her name) answered the door and flat out told him no. Keep in mind that we're paying customers. Yesterday's vet visit likely would have cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 based on our experience with other visits to this clinic. So, we drove down to the nearest Port-o-John so my husband could relieve himself. Meanwhile, I called the clinic and got blue hair lady on the phone. I was calm and pointed, making it clear that we would be taking our business elsewhere because of her lack of compassion for another human being. I wanted this to be a teaching moment for her. I explained my husband's cancer situation, and she said that she would have let him use the restroom if he had told her about his illness. I was aghast that a paying customer and fellow human being was expected to bare his soul to a stranger for some basic humanity. Not sure if she knows a lot of men, but most aren't exactly the soul baring types. Blue haired lady started to cry. She told me she was shaking. Truly, my intention wasn't to make her cry. It was to educate her on her profound ignorance and let her know she had lost a customer. I recognize that this country is a cesspool for inhumanity and narcissism right now. But, one has to wonder if they want their beloved pets being cared for by someone who displays such mean, judgmental and shortsighted behavior to another human being. I got a glimpse into who that person is, and I don't trust her to care for my pups. The beauty of capitalism is that I can take my business somewhere else. I'll not reward rudeness with my hard-earned dollar. There are plenty of qualified vets in the world whose staffs are considerate of both people and pets. **UPDATE** One of the docs left my husband a message. So disappointing and unproductive, claiming I "berated" her employee and hiding behind her Covid protocol. Typical clinician who hasn't a clue about how to run a customer-facing business and doesn't care about people. Why would I trust this person with my pups? Reaffirms our decision to not return to this clinic. Clearly, the management only empowers bad behavior from its employee.

I recommend ANY other vet in the area.

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS VET FOR YOUR ANIMALS BEWARE for false diagnoses!!!…read more Took my dog here for a quote on a teeth cleaning okay, no signs of sickness or any problems. He comes out and says she has a tooth infection from a cracked tooth, so we give her antibiotics and expect a full recovery. I go in 2 weeks later and he says without hesitating that it's lymphoma (cancer). No blood work or tests were done and he jumps to the worst, telling me we had to do a biopsy quoted at $1400. Now there I was in shock, visibly upset on this news and the man continues to tell me about low survival rates and tough decisions to make about treatment WHEN SHE WAS NOT EVEN POSITIVELY DIAGNOSED. And how cruel was he to continue to be so negative and harsh when I was visibly upset and processing this news, I mean seriously do you have no heart?! Where's the oh we will do everything we can or let's get some tests done to figure out what this is. So, fast forward a week later I went to another veterinarian, told them everything and had her checked. She had a full panel of blood work done and a physical exam and you guys my dog is 100% healthy. No cancer and absolutely no need to put her under for a biopsy she doesn't need. This is by far the WORST experience I've ever had with a veterinarian after being a dog owner for 10 years, so needless to say I won't be back and I warn others before taking their animals here of Dr. Macdonald's FALSE diagnoses and his cruel manor.

They asked if they could take her to to back because there was "too many people in the room" (me and my family) they came back a short while later and said my dog slipped her harness(which has never happened before) and that they couldn't do any vaccines or anything for her, until she had been on a sedation medication. I asked for them to try in the room but they ultimately refused. Sent us home with trazodone and gabapentin to give the dog. I gave the meds to her as instructed, but my dog didn't seem different. I told them I would sit with my dog this time(my family was still in the room with us) and again they commented about having too many people(not exactly a choice as they wanted a morning appt and I have young children.) To which I said it'd be fine and that we just need her shots done. They came prepared with ONE of the vaccines that she needed out of several. I held the dog and she was fine, a little nervous but fine. They refused to give her the other shots to "avoid stressing her out more" recommended more meds to sedate my dog further. I refused the meds as that's just additional money that I don't see as necessary. Come time to check out, and they charged me for an exam; which didn't happen. They tried to get me to have the medications more than once which my 5 year old dog has never needed for a vet appt before. So very upset that this was our experience as now we feel we have not much choice than to drive the distance for the vet that seemed to care more for the dog than the money. All the good reviews gave me such hope... thankful we learned this quickly and don't have to go through this again.
