There was no strong animal smell which can be the case for some pet clinics. They have a nice clean restrooms for guest and the rooms for your pets to get checked is nice. Service: the front desk gal Nancy was very friendly and prompt. She got me taken care of right away. Catalina helped us get in the room and asked some critical questions for the doc. The vet doc was thorough and was empathetic to me. He understood how I felt and was offered a realistic prognosis about my dog. He sympathized that I was having a hard time hearing the news and offered care plans for my dog. There are different plans he can come up with if your budget does not allow. He can definitely work you with. I felt very comfortable with the staff and I felt like they cared about my feelings and what is happening to my dog.

So, we stopped off and bought some donuts for the office staff, and headed over there. The entire staff is AMAZING, and Dr. Conlan's bedside manner was so warm! He was so gentile with our girl, and you could tell he has a great love of animals by the way he was handling her. They needed to do imaging on her to find the exact issue so they needed to sedate her (poor girl was groggy for the rest of the day). In the end, we found she definitely injured her knee AND also has the beginnings of hip dysplasia :-(. Luckily, we were told there are things we could do to prolong it. He gave some great recommendations and we felt confident with the instructions we were given for her care when it was time to leave! I hate thinking we have to take our girl back but if we do (for her or any of our other fur babies) Sierra View is the place for our four legged family members to go for care!

Our German Shepherd developed a really bad case of fleas, and because of the chewing he had…read moredeveloped some skin issues. We went to Alta Animal Hospital because they could fit us in on the day we called. We ended up waiting for over an hour and a half past our "appointment" in their cramped waiting area before they even called on us, then there was a lot of waiting in the exam room. When the doctor finally came in, he was pleasant. Then he said someone would be in to "present" the treatment plan and bill. Then the tech comes back in after a while and looks at me and my wife and says, "ok, who will I be *presenting* the bill to?" You would be absolutely correct if by now you are assuming they were fully intending to rip us off. For 6mo of flea medication (Simparica Trio), they charged $300. (Later on, I researched online and it should've probably been $200-$225). They also had several other medications for which they no doubt also completely overcharged us. Total bill was $1200 (!!). Front desk staff (seemed like doctor's wife or family member) was very curt in taking our payment as we left. Now, the Simparica Trio did take care of his fleas, and pretty quickly. However, they wanted us to come back for a follow-up appointment. When we arrived for that they charged us *another exam fee* and wanted us to pay another $500 for additional medications to continue to treat his skin conditions. We paid the exam fee and left. Today we took the dog to another vet for his worsening skin issues. This vet has a much bigger and nicer waiting room, did not make us wait an inordinate amount of time, had a friendlier staff, and was overall a much better experience. For medications (that I think will work this time!) and the entire visit, the bill was $365. Including a no-cost followup visit in a few weeks. It made me think back to the experience with Alta, and realize what an incredible ripoff it was all the way around.

I've never written a Yelp review before, but after my recent experiences at this vet, I feel…read morestrongly enough to speak up. I hope I can help someone else save money or from going through a similar negative experience. I have been to this clinic three times, and unfortunately each visit was worse than the last. While the exam fee of $30 initially seemed affordable, I was always left confused when my total bill ended up close to $500 each time without clear explanations of what was being done or specifically why. Although I did ask questions, I accepted their responses because I didn't know any better at the time. During the first visit, my dog was extremely lethargic and would yelp in pain from touching his lower abdomen. We left without any real diagnosis or explanation for his symptoms. The doctor simply prescribed medication, and gave him some shots. I never received a clear understanding of what was wrong with my dog. The second visit was for an ear infection. Both the doctor and a male assistant handled my dog roughly while he was clearly scared. They did not take time to ease him into the exam or help him feel comfortable, even though he was under a year old and this was only his second vet visit. I tried to comfort him the most I could but they did not play their part. He got some shots, a small sedation for an ear cleaning, an ear cleaning solution, and medications. I later realized some of the stuff I was charged for was unnecessary for a mild ear infection. Our most recent visit last week was for a large lump that had formed from an injury. By this point, my dog was already very fearful when arriving at the clinic. He ran away twice from them when they took him back and hid under the front desk, I have never seen him like this. However, the same male assistant handled my dog roughly again, pulling on his leash while he was panicking. In the process, my dog hit his head while trying to get away. He was muzzled while already terrified, and I became concerned that this experience would create fear-based aggression. I truly believe this is not the correct way to approach a frightened dog. There was no attempt to go slowly, offer reassurance, or build trust.I had warned the staff before hand that he was extremely scared, but they still handled him in a way that made the situation worse. The doctor did not clearly explain what the lump was. He simply stated they would drain it and "hope it goes down." No one explained whether it was infection, fluid buildup, or what may have caused it internally. After giving him a sedative, they drained the lump, but again, there was no clear communication about what they found or what the next steps would be. The lump returned in two days, I truly think they didn't do anything that actually helped. I had to call the clinic myself to ask what the doctor thought was going on, what the next steps should be, and to get clarification on concerns I had after we got home. One assistant that day was kind and gentle, and I appreciated her. She also did go into detail of what medication we were taking home and the instructions for them, I think that was the most care we received was from her. As a first time dog owner, I didn't initially know what was reasonable in terms of pricing, professionalism, and proper care. I gave this clinic multiple chances because I thought the costs were normal. However, after seeking a second opinion at another veterinary clinic in Fresno when the lump returned, I quickly realized how different the experience could be. At the new clinic, the cost was hundreds of dollars less for even better care. The staff was patient, understanding of my dog's fear from his previous experiences at care veterinary, and did not force handling. They offered treats, took their time, and worked to make him comfortable. Although my dog showed fear aggression, something that was never an issue before these previous visits they still handled him with compassion and care. I feel terrible about what my dog experienced, but I am grateful we found a clinic that treats him with kindness and transparency. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this care veterinary. Clear communication, gentle handling, and reasonable pricing are essential, and unfortunately, we did not receive that here.
