Terrible vet Didn't diagnose my kitty correctly She was in heat And he treated her with antibiotics for a infection What the hell?!! He told me to hold my kitten and then flip her over to see what sex it was start with because he didn't know what was wrong I brought her in to be examined because I thought my eldest cat injured her. But that wasn't the case Any vet of 55 years such as this guy should have known she was in heat and that's why she was crying a lot And this was a feral I had rescued So I had no idea if my kitty hurt her or not He also wrote up a bill Then he changed the price and said you didn't get that done so I changed it Then the bill was put on a piece of paper Not a formal billing receipt You know like a invoice type This guy had a dirty back exam area when he shut the door it's cracked so you can't see I wish I could have seen the entire room I would NEVER have let her in there Everything outdated I didn't get to see the back until he brought her back out to me He did the partial exam out front on the counter This guy should retire and NOT be allowed to examine animals I told him I was going to report him They couldn't follow up on him because they couldn't get an address I kept putting it in the complaint and trying to find his license number Nothing It's on North Texas Street Fairfield A year ago I turned him into the BBB read more

Dr Than has been our veterinarian for over 25 yrs. He operates his business in a simple manner which I enjoy. Often I stop by without any appointment and he takes us on first come first serve basis. He does not accept credit or debit cards so be prepared with check or preferably cash. I always come away feeling amazingly grateful that his fees are so incredibly low and affordable. He gives us the opportunity to choose which route to go based on your financial situation without ever compromising your pets care. No fancy office, no frills of any sort. Just a amazingly caring person who does all of his patients right without charging them outrageous prices. He does not have assistants, if he's fill out a card and have a seat, read more

Albern Pet Clinic - You did what? - Veterinarians Near Me - Fairfield, California

Been going here since 2018 and will never go anywhere else! The veterinarian is outstanding and has taken such good care of our dogs and the dogs of two adult children of ours. Literally this vet saved the life of one of our dogs puppies when it got very sick weeks after birth. Love going here and feel very blessed to have our dogs in his care! read more

This was the first time in a long time I felt like I wasnt being taken advantage of. Old school service just a man doing his job no promotions no fuss doctor highly recommend.. very reasonably priced read more

Stay away from this clinic!!! Thanh is very rude. Can't even understand what he's saying. They only take cash and if you don't have cash he will give you dirty look and walk away without saying anything and if you ask for paper prescription to buy the medicine somewhere he wont give it to you so unprofessional. And this place is old and dirty. Homeless people hanging outside the clinic. Never coming back here. read more

Dr Thann is a very good veterinarian! The only drawback is that he is only open part time, and usually refers out for many of the complicated surgeries. read more

Thank you for taking care of our baby girl We appreciate you so much for helping her get better. Thank you again read more

Our family has been bringing our pets here for two decades. Always great treatment and fair prices.

I had my dog spayed here. They were kind and quietly sweet. The clinic is far from beautifully comfortable but if like me your finances are meek this is the place to go. read more

My family has brought all of our animals, both cats and dogs to Dr. Thanh over the past 30+ years. For those questioning his professionalism or lack of a receptionist, understand He is a one man, no frills operation who should be appreciated for his wisdom and many years of experience. read more

I would never return here. Firstly the office is dirty and dated, then the doctor shuffled out and was wearing a face mask that was shredded and caked with dirt. He was also dirty and when he checked my cats ears he did not use a plastic cover. Who know where that equipment has been. He said I will give you some medicine and started to go to the back. I told him I had some from my other cat and would it be okay. I still don't know if it was okay or if he did not understand a word I said. Then I told him he had fleas and I needed revolution. He says they don;t have any, I said okay I just want to get a prescription to petmeds. He said no. I said he is the doctor and I need to handle Sam's fleas and I am depending on him. He said no, go. This guy need to retire. He was so adamant about sending in a prescription I question if his license is active. read more

He is an elderly man of few words and was a bit hesitant but he gave my dog her exam and meds for an eye infection within 30 minutes. The office is in a "sketchy" area and it doesn't look like much, but it looks like he's a one-man operation. He may come off as rude to some, but I think that's just who he is as a person and just wants to get you in and out. If you're looking for something affordable and simple, he's your man. read more

I called with an inquiry about a service based off of a recommendation and unfortunately I was rushed off the phone he said "sorry, busy bye bye." If I could do 0 stars I would even if a business is busy being asked to be put on hold until someone could get on the line and properly speak to a potential customer would've been appreciated My dog is in need of a service that could be life saving and I couldn't even fed a yes or no answer about if they could do it and when or if theyd be available very rude and unprofessional read more

Dr. Thanh is a no fuss, straightforward vet with 33 years of experience-- he examined my cat and identified my pet's health issue with confidence rather than the reluctant tones I usually encountered from other vets. While waiting at the clinic, I had a conversation with a woman who came all the way from Sacramento, CA to get healthcare for her dog so I knew I was in good hands of a reliable veterinarian. My cat had really bad breathe and Dr. Thanh cleaned her teeth throughly and now the only bad breath I can detect is mine. If you're more concern about your pet's health than a lavish animal clinic then I would highly recommend Dr. Thanh at Albern Pet Clinic. read more

This is the BEST pet clinic that I have ever taken my dog to. I made an appointment here based on a referral to this clinic and came here for the first time and was a great experience for me and my dog. My dog is 16 years old and NO other vet has ever been able to examine him without it being an ordeal. This Veterinarian is like a dog whisperer- I was amazed at how my dog was so calm around him and throughout the entire examination. I have already referred him to two of my friends. The BEST veterinarian! read more

Brought my cat in to get spayed and shots, because he had appointments open the next week and reviews seemed decent. All went well, until bringing her back for her return visit to get her stitches out. He turned me away! Told me it was impossible to get them out with it being only him and i holding the cat. And said that i would have to do it myself at home. I will not be returning, that is very unprofessional. read more

I came with my dog last June and he gave me what I needed the [meds for my pup]for a very reasonable price and he was fast and knew exactly what he was doing. I trusted him and I will be going back to him for any issues with my dog. I highly recommend him call before hand to book an appointment he's really good with seeing you that same day if possible he works with you! read more

I wish there was a 0 star rating im very very disappointed in the doctors service. I went in for a cat examination because my sisters cat threw up yesterday multiple times and I was looking for a cheap good clinic and I stumbled across his clinic. My sister got her cat like a few days ago so we were just very concerned for him. Off the bat, his professionalism seemed iffy but I always look the best out of things so I was like "whatever." -once we entered the exam room, there was just a high table no cushion no nothing. My sisters cat got scared after the doctor examined his ears and mouth. He seemed so rough, Poot cat started shaking and running around the little room. I was giving the doctor the benefit of the doubt since he was old and I even told him "yeah it's not going to work today we can come back tomorrow" and even the doctor said "ok", but literally he didn't examine him good, he was making us position our cat and stuff, isn't a vet supposed to know how to do that? And he also squeezed our cat and he got hurt. When he brought these big gloves, the cat got even more scared. He told us we had to pay $29 FOR JUST A EAR AND MOUTH EXAM AND NO DIAGNOSTIC WHAT! I refused and he got so mad. I'm scared now because I left my address and number on the paper sheet thing but I did what I had to do. It's UNBELIEVABLE. -my sister was crying in the car and I just feel so bad for the situation. read more

This is my veterinarian. This was my grandpa's veterinarian. He's been around for awhile. Albern is old school and that's not a bad thing. It's like a one man operation when it comes to this clinic so don't expect anything fancy. He may not be as informative as most other veterinarians that shower you with information, but he's very helpful and knowledgeable; if you don't know something or is curious about something just ask he'll tell you. The one main thing that I love about him is that he's a practical person, he doesn't over do it with things that are unnecessary and prescribe you a lot of things just to make money. Overall He's a great local vet and I have no complaints. My family has taken 3 generations of dogs here to him, along with cats. read more

My dog had an ear infection due to the cold weather lately, and I dropped in to this clinic by my home. It's a simple place, but the vet was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and gave me options. Other places seem to charge alot just to give you no options. I really liked this place, and will return to get my dog's shots. A in my book! Great value for your pet care needs! Cash Only read more

Had a good experience today with my Shepherd puppy. The office was very outdated, no computers, or modern technology. It appeared vacant, as there is no receptionist to greet patients. This appeared to be a one man show. The office is bare bones and old! The Doctor examined my Pup throughly! Asked me, to the point, important puppy health questions, then administered the shots without my pup even flinching. I had to request for my pup to be weighed, he took my pup to from the exam room and kindly weighed him. He presented me with a nice shot record, with the date and time for our next appointment written on it(never asked if this appointment time will work for me, just handed me the card with appointment on it. But I was very satisfied with my pups basic exam. The price was very very budget friendly and for that I'm grateful! Cash or check only. read more

I went to take my two 13 week old kittens to get fixed and everything went well! He really does care for your pets and will give you the best affordable prices for their procedures. read more

Dr. Thanh is very kind and knowledgeable. There's a bit of a language barrier and he doesn't have much help so you'll need to be patient with him. But, he is fantastic and straight to the point. His prices are also very fair..I highly recommend him. read more

So far not too impressed. I called twice to get some information regarding neutering my dog. The man who answered the phone did not speak very good English, so it was a bit hard to understand. I asked how much he would charge to neuter my dog, and he asked if it was male or female. Ummmmm, really. He gave me a price and then proceded to ask more questions. The informed me they no longer service large dogs. He gave me a quote before having any information, then said he wouldn't do it, and wasn't sure if I had a male or female based on the word neuter. I have heard great things about this place, and I need some other services done as well, that a regular vet would charge an arm and a leg for. I guess its time to pay the big money and be over charged for a neuter and to dock his tail. read more

I took my puppy here with my daughter first of all he wouldn't let my 10 daughter come in .Then he had us waiting for over a hour after our appointment time and he was rude im not ever going back read more

Yelp takes you to the wrong location W Travis 1320. Across from livewire car audio. An older gentleman helped us, seems closed to the public unless you call and make an appointment. I was able to get a same day appointment we needed very accommodating. Gave us medication needed at a reasonable price. Give it a try read more

Love the Dr. Very caring, personal, and thorough. Can tell he is an expert at what he does and provides you with the best service at a great price. I recommend all my family and friends for their pet needs to Albern Pet Clinic. Thank you Dr. read more

Have gone to this clinic for many many years, he is the nicest vet and does it all by himself. Great prices also.

Absolute terrible customer service. Literally just called about getting my dog neutered. Whoever answered did not state they were a vet just simple said "yes" when they answered. He asked what type of dog and couldn't really understand and just said thank you and hung up on me.... will not be taking my dog to them for any service. read more

I had a Lhasa Apso and Albern took care of her the 11 years she was with us. She got her teeth cleaned and the tartar on her teeth removed. When she had infections his treatments were simple and it was affordable. Thank you Albern! read more

I have been taking all of my pets here for over fifteen years. Dr. Than is knowledgable, compassionate and reasonably priced. It is a one man operation, and you'll probably have a wait if you come on a Saturday. I don't know what I'll do when he retires. He's the best! read more

My family and I have been taking our pets to Dr Albern for over 20 years. Always satisfied with his care and prices. Do expect a wait for this one man operated vet but so worth it. read more

It is amazing that a person is willing to provide such a service at such low cost. Payments are made in cash only. Expect to wait your turn but know that you and your animal will receive great care at a very reasonable cost. I'm so glad I found this place. read more

Love going to Albern pet clinic. I've taken all my pets there and he does a wonderful job. Will keep going there!

He should be on the Recommended Reviews! He is a great doctor, very affordable Vet and cares tremendously for the animals. I should have made a comment years ago and so sorry I didn't. I've taken my cat to him last year and this year, also previous years. My cat has an on going health issues of not being able to poop. Also she starts to throw up the further along it goes on. I believe a year ago she got so bad that she couldn't eat and just laid there like she was going to die soon. I had taken her to another vet and they ran all kinds of tests, extays, blood work and couldn't find anything wrong. They have given her stool softener at one point which did help but that time she just got worse. I decided to take her to Albern Pet Clinic and he said she had an infection in her intestines, put her on antibiotics for about 3 weeks and she got well. So again my cat ran into the same problem this year. I took him again and he said it is because of her hair, she wasn't passing hairballs so it irritated the inner walls of her intestines which can cause infection, she had a high fever. The problem with my cat or shall I say my niece's cat is she doesn't like to take any hairball medicine, so that's a big problem that she had for Many years. Because originally this is my niece's cat she wants to get some other tests done which we would have to go elsewhere, but I will always take her back to Albern Pet Clinic. Please do try him out. read more

Albern Pet Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Fairfield, California

Dr Thanh has been our vet since the late 1980s when my mother-in-law recommended him. He has treated our cats and dogs, its best to show up between 9 and 10am first come, first serve. He is highly affordable, neuters/spades, shots, minor skin irritations and injuries. All our family takes their animals to him. No emergency services. read more

Love Dr Thanh has been my vet for over 30 years. He provides compassionate care at affordable discounted rates. The average person can barely afford to take their animal to the vet anymore with the outrageous prices and Dr. Thanh understands this and makes every visit affordable. He is not your fancy upscale pet hospital\clinic\groomer\doggie camp type vet but for your pets vaccinations, routine and urgent appointments that can be handled in the office, he is the only place I will go. He does not rake you financially and have you getting test that are not needed. In fact he is an old school vet that has been practicing animal medicine for many generations of animal owners. Must call for appointment or wait in line at 9AM when he opens. Doors remain closed after he sees his patients for the day. He does not have staff so it is understandable that this is how he keeps it cost effective for patients. read more
