Alder Trail Animal Hospital

"Please read this review before you schedule with Dr. Yeik!!! I have been bringing my chihuahua to this vet for years. Simple vaccinations and annual check ups. The care was decent and did the job. Dr Yeik is difficult to follow when he speaks and I often left confused. Over a year ago, I brought my 10 year old pup in to see him for a cough she had been experiencing. He did x-rays and simply stated she had chronic bronchitis and will likely need steroids the rest of her life. He did not do labs or any further diagnostic testing. I brought her back again, months later with the same symptoms—I got the same feedback and medication regimen. on Friday, I got home from work and my baby was breathing heavily and hard. She couldn’t catch her breath. I called Dr Yeiks office—they instructed me to bring her into the ER vet in Poulsbo. I asked them to send her records to the ER vet. She was in critical condition. Her pulse ox was a 76 (at minimum should be 93-100). The vet explained that without any diagnostic labs he can assume she had a heart murmur, heart disease and possible other organ failure. He advised me this would have been detectable on a xray a year ago. It was indicated that this was a miss from my vet and the xray was likely so outdated (old equipment) that the vet wouldn’t be able to tell her heart was twice the size as it should be. They also stated Dr. Yeiks notes were not able to be understood and seemed to not make sense. I had to make the devastating decision to put my baby down. this was the most painful thing i’ve ever been through—knowing this could have been caught a year ago. No follow up call from Dr Yeiks office. Nothing. I would not recommend this hospital. I am heart broken and I can’t get my dog back."

"We love this vet. It’s all about the animals. No frills, and no unneeded overhead. Thank you again for helping us with our dog Chai over all her years. We miss her and are still grateful for your care."

"Will never be going back to this vet. I was told you worked on my guinea pig and dislodged whatever was in her throat and causing her to not eat. You even reassured me and told me "I even fed her a couple times already". Giving me hope everything was okay because you said she was now eating. After I got home she was still acting the same just sedated and high on medication. I tried to syringe feed her and care for her until she finally just died in front of me and there was nothing I could do. I feel like I was lied to. I feel like nothing was actually done. I feel like you used us for the money and lied to us and sent us on our way. My poor baby should have been properly cared for and if there truly was nothing that could be done then I should have been told that. I could have put her down in a humane way. so I didn't have to watch her suffer."

"We have been taking our dog to them since we adopted our dog from the shelter six years ago. The doctor and staff are helpful and nice. He recently had to have 4 teeth removed and they were very helpful and the doctor explained everything we asked."

"We recently got a puppy and took him here to establish care, Dr. Yeik was quick and very knowledgeable! He answered all questions, did vaccines with ease, and was very good to our pup. We have been in & out quickly each time with no wait times. Recently our dog was sick, we called and he saw our dog right away. He knew exactly what was wrong, told us how to handle it, gave him medicine, and then sent us home for resting all within 15 minutes."
