Alvarado Veterinary Clinic

"I have used their clinic before with mediocre results. Yes the wait time is very long, but they tell you that upfront. The treatment I was given for my three pets were ineffective. That was disappointing, but yet I was not surprised because I have not had any success with other medications in regards to their issues. So I chalked it up to bad luck and more money wasted. However there is no excuse for this concern. I have called their office three times on three different days at different times JUST to get an ESTIMATE for the price of a test done on my dog. I have been told that my message is "on the board" just waiting for a dr. to look at it and give me a call back. My first call was on January 24, 2024 and today is February 1, 2024 and I still have not heard back. Also, if you go on their website and look at their reviews, it's all 5 stars. This says "negative reviews removed" all over, to me. Also I suggest going to Yelp to see a more accurate star rating."

"It has been the best veteran clinic that I have ever experienced. For starters Dr Rainey saved our coydog Alice 13yrs ago when she was a little puppy. We just had to have her put down due to a bleeding internal tumor. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. The entire staff at the Alvarado Vet. made the experience tolerable with genuine concern and sympathy."

"A new female Japanese Chin came into our family. She’s two years of age. We named her Miko. She recently stopped being “in heat” a few months prior. We had to get her spayed before her next “in heat” cycle. We compared many vets for scheduling and price. In the end, we settled on the Alvarado Veterinary Clinic. It was a 30-minute drive from Mansfield. But the drive is pleasant. Traffic is light. The scenic countryside is relaxing. Not a bad trip. The clinic will do Miko's surgery at 8:00 a.m. That’s when the clinic opens. The check-in was efficient. We waited for 15 minutes in the waiting area. Then a vet measured her weight. She took Miko for surgery. Miko would stay overnight. We picked her up the next day. Miko acted as if nothing happened to her! A vet would need to remove her stitches after a week. No need for an appointment. Her stitches were tiny. For the entire week, Miko behaved like her normal self. I wish I was like her after my surgery. We returned to remove her stitches. We requested a rabies shot for Miko. The entire process only took ten minutes. This was the second time we used the Alvarado Clinic. The first time was for our oldest dog who has passed. Our experience was positive on both occasions."

"Last week we took my Nero to get checked, found out he had lung cancer. It was not the news we expected. I’m thankful to the doctor that gave us medication to help him. We were told he had a month to live but the quality of life during this time would br something to consider. With the medication given to Nero I was able to travel back home and give my baby boy a proper send off. Nero was laid to rest on August 12,2023, his final days were good ones. Thank you for given him the medication he was able to enjoy his final days surrounded with love of his family and friends."
