The next day we brought our dog to the Animal Specialty Hospital to check. They did a blood test (fine) and examined her. The doctor prescribed increasing the dosage of her medicine from 20mg to 40mg. "Bring her back for an exam in 3 or 4 months," was his parting advice. Less than a week later our dog had resumed eating with gusto and enjoying walks!

From having to be cathetered, gurnied, and carried with a harness to walking freely, my boy has surpassed our expectations! Thank you so very much for your professionalism, care giving, phone support, and efficiency. Amazing. ~Adrienne

I have mixed feelings writing this review. On one hand, I am incredibly grateful that my dog's…read moreemergency surgery was successful, and she is now recovering well with no post-operative complications. The outcome was the best I could have hoped for, and I'm thankful for the veterinarian who ultimately performed the procedure and quite literally saved her life. However, the experience leading up to that point was deeply concerning. My dog was brought in with a closed pyometra--a life-threatening condition--and was understandably in a great deal of distress. She was acting aggressively due to the pain, fear, and severity of her condition. Unfortunately, the initial emergency veterinarian who saw her appeared to lack the patience and compassion you'd expect from someone in this profession. I was shocked when it seemed she was on the verge of turning my dog away due to her behavior. Thankfully, another veterinarian stepped in, took the time to calm my dog, and confirmed the diagnosis. He performed the emergency surgery, which he later told me had to happen that day--waiting even one more day would have resulted in sepsis and likely death. To that second veterinarian: thank you. Your professionalism and quick action made all the difference. I'll update this review with your name to give credit where it's due. To other pet owners: please be aware that depending on who is on duty, your pet may not receive the same level of patience or understanding if they present with aggressive behavior due to pain or stress. This experience was a reminder that while some veterinarians go above and beyond, others may fall short in moments that matter most.

She is certainly fearful, but under the circumstance I felt like the aggression was a reaction to the pain and stress. She had been spayed and a few of her stitches came apart and she got an infection, obviously she was fearful and in pain. In combination, she is a very fearful dog anyways. At All west, they were understanding of our bad experience and they take things at the dogs pace. I appreciate that they are very upfront and clear about pricing and services. The technicians are patient and helpful, the vet has been amazing...and probably more patient with me! I've been really nervous about getting care for my dog fearing that the veterinarian would be always a terrible experience. They make it positive and we don't avoid it any more! Can't say enough good things.

Over a hundred bucks later and 5 extra charges I am quite frustrated. While the Vet was giving my pup one of the vaccinations she clearly missed when my pup jumped and I watched most of it fly in the air. Not professional at all. Very unorganized.

Dr Arakaki performed the surgery and did a fabulous job of keeping us updated on how the procedure went.
