I know it can be really hard trying to find a good vet, and I truly can simply not recommend them…read moreenough! They are always so patient and wonderful with my very anxious (and very loud) dog. We always have a great experience with them-even though our little dog would always rather not be there. I have seen several different doctors now, and they all are really fantastic. Hopefully this can help others get an idea on how simply wonderful they are. My dog just had a dental cleaning with extractions, along with an eye mass removal done. The bill was incredibly reasonable for everything that was done (I see in past reviews people upset that the dental was $1000+, but that is just standard pricing for dental cleanings for dogs and cats because they have to go under full general sedation and have no insurance is covering it unlike people dental visits). Before the procedure, she had some bloodwork done to make sure she was safe for surgery. I figured we would get the results in 2-3+ days like most clinics. Nope, they did the bloodwork there, we waited a short while, then Dr. Dahl brought in a copy of her results and explained them in great depth with us. Despite our noisy dog, Dr. Dahl even picked up on a heart murmur that no one else had heard before. Dr. Dahl caught that our dog was likely showing signs of another problem that we didn't even realize, and sent us home with medication to keep her comfortable (along with a helpful flyer for a cardiologist recommendation). The day of the procedure, after we dropped off our dog, Dr. Dahl called me to clarify called me to clarify some additional services I had requested. I told her she didn't need to worry about anyone calling me until she was ready to go home. I still got a call from Dr. Dahl letting me know once she was out of surgery and how she did. When we picked up our dog, I had expected a technician to give me some written discharge instructions, and then to leave. To my surprise, Dr. Dahl herself went through everything with us. She reviewed what she found during the procedure, and even went over the dental x-rays in great detail with us. She had asked a specialist to take a look at something abnormal in her x-rays, but didn't even charge us a consultation fee for it (which I would have expected). We had a lot of questions, and she was so patient answering them all. A technician even called a day or so after she was home to check in on how she was doing as well! I have absolutely no complaints about this practice! :D

My wife and I added a dog to our family nearly 2 years ago and, at my in-laws recommendation due to the many years they've taken their dogs there and boasted of exemplary care, we elected to use Alpine as our veterinary clinic. 2 years and another dog later, I couldn't imagine taking my pets anywhere else. The vets are people that obviously love animals and prioritize giving them the best care possible. The experience has always reflected that our dogs are like family to Dr. Liz and Dr. Sharkey. They are known by name and have been treated with love and compassion with each visit. I couldn't say enough good things about this facility and feel very fortunate to have a great veterinary clinic so close to home, particularly when hearing the occasional horror stories from friends and colleagues that can't say the same for their veterinary clinics. If you're in the Greeley area, I highly recommend giving Alpine Veterinary Hospital a chance for your pets' needs.

She was extremely extremely disrespectful unprofessional and should not work there! Im not going to have my pets overly stressed because she can't do her job! Very disappointing because a real Veterinarian who works there did my dogs shots before and we were in and out NO problem. Unfortunately I did not get that "Veterinarians" name as she didn't even have the decency to introduce herself. Because of her I will never go back, absolutely a waste of time! Alpine should fire her she has no business being around anyone's pets!

It's taken me a while to stir up the courage to write this review but I feel what I experienced at…read morethe clinic needs to be shared, it might save another animals life. I brought my cat here in 2019 when she wasn't feeling well and I needed to get her seen asap. St Michael's had many open appointments and told me to bring her in. I should of seen this as a first red flag, but when they needed to run testing, they absolutely wouldn't allow me to be with my cat to comfort her during testing and instead brought her into some back room where I couldn't see her or anything other going on. They were very rude and adamant about this and I was trying to trust their judgment but I heard my cat screaming back there and I was mortified to hear that. It was absolutely not normal and not necessary because she had always been curious and loving at previous clinics. Never once have I experienced her having a reaction like this at a vet and it still hurts my heart today thinking that they could have hurt her and I didn't have any idea or chance to stop them. Once testing was done, she was diagnosed with kidney disease. I was offered one route of treatment only, even after trying to explain that I needed something doable, being a college student and caregiver for my mother at the time. After this, I was prescribed the most expensive options available. A $45 bag of SubQ fluids, which were so expensive due to added electrolytes, every two weeks, and the most expensive bag of KD cat food that they carried, which ended up starving my cat because she would not eat it. After I told them that the treatment they gave me was not working for her, Whitnee had the audacity to sit in the room and tell me that I needed to euthanize her because I could not afford it. I can't believe that they tried to convince me that killing my cat was better than finding any other route of treatment to help her. I decided to move to a different veterinarian and seek a second opinion, where they prescribed her a $12 simple bag of fluids, worked with me with finding a food that would work for my cat and let me be in the room to hold my cat during our visits. My childhood companion cat is now 21 years old and has surpassed seven more years of life as a very happy girl. I'm so glad I didn't listen to the b of an owner Whitnee Patten at St Michael's, who loves to laugh in your face because shes smarter than you by the way, and sought out another opinion. The visits at this clinic traumatized my cat for a very long time but also traumatized me taking her to any vet after. They might have a couple nice techs but these people are not animal lovers, definitely not cat people, and would rather kill your pet over money then waste time finding a solution you both can maintain. Avoid them at all costs.

He 100% cured my dog and she is healthy, happy, and couldn't be better! Our family and friends love Dr Freemyer and would recommend him day or night! He's been caring for all of our pets for sevral years and goes above and beyond, even willing to get up in the middle of the night to help a sick or injured animal. He is by far the best, most caring vet that we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's important to remember that the Dermex ointment works by killing off every cancer cell that it comes in contact with until it's gone. That means that if a large area is infected with cancer then once all of the cancer cells have been killed off, only the healthy cells will remain, which may not be a very large amount for some areas of certain patients. Just keep that in mind. But the bottom like is that Dermex works!!

He recommended we hold off on neutering our puppy until he was at least 12 months old because recent studies have shown that neutering can have an adverse effect on the health of a dog. He educated us that the most notable studies indicate a doubled risk of hip dysplasia among males neutered before 12 months of age and the increased risk of mast cell tumors and hemangiosarcoma in dogs neutered after 12 months.

I have been taking my pets to West Ridge for many years now and have been nothing but satisfied with their services. Are they the cheapest vet services around? Probably not, but the old adage "you get what you pay for" does still hold some merit. The staff has been nothing but kind, pleasant, and professional throughout the 7 years I've been using their services, and I've recommended them to friends, family, and colleagues regularly. I do understand that for many people, pets are their family members, but much like human medicine, veterinary medicine is a best effort relationship. There are no guarantees, and you are paying for the attempt, not for any kind of guaranteed outcome. If your dog was hit by a car and subsequently passes away, it's wholly unfair to blame the vet or the medical services provided for the sad outcome. Anyway, the long and short of it is, I personally have been satisfied with the quality and level of services provided to me as a customer and my pets as patients of WRAH for a number of years, and I will continue to use their services for as long as I live in the Greeley area. Thank you WRAH staff for the work that you do, I appreciate all of you.

To say the administration of this place is a mess would be the understatement of the century. It's impossible to have one visit where even most things go right, and that assumes that they remember to write down your appointment. They promise credits because "it was our fault" but never apply them until you complain, charge incorrectly, fail to order medication, promise to make it right, and then call back and say, oh no, we decided we won't do that. If all you need is good doctors and have the time and desire to micromanage their admin department, sure, they're a good choice. But if you need the clerical and financial side of a business to match the quality of the doctors (or just think it should) then you should probably look elsewhere. They're also the most expensive vet in the area, requiring 2x yearly exams for all pets instead of just senior pets, so there is an argument to be made that profit is really the priority here. 5 stars for the vets - 20 stars for the admin
