Alameda Veterinary Clinic - Lakewood, Colorado

My kitty Grayson was just getting some updated vaccines and a check up, and the vet noticed his teeth were bad. I was able to get him scheduled for a cleaning and extraction within 2 months! The vet made sure to walk me through the process and explain the extractions. He is SO happy now. It's been a week now and he has been happier than ever! He was purring nonstop the first 3 days. I mean NONSTOP. Now you can just see he's in a lot less pain. He also cuddles more!! Thank you Alameda for taking care of my boy.

I’m so grateful for the incredible care my cat received at [mAlameda Vet Clinic. After months of struggling with my cat’s health and visiting multiple clinics, I finally found a team that truly cared.

Dr. Joy was incredibly compassionate and attentive. She took the time to listen to our concerns and thoroughly examined our cat. The ultrasound was incredibly helpful in diagnosing the underlying issue. Dr. Sofia was also fantastic, explaining everything clearly and patiently.

The treatment plan they provided has been a lifesaver. Our cat is finally starting to feel better, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and expertise of the entire team at AVC. If you’re looking for a vet clinic that truly cares about your pet’s well-being, I highly recommend this place.

I've been going to this vet for a couple of years now and I absolutely love them I will not go anywhere else. My pets mean the world to me as I feel everyone can relate to and the people that work here really care about animals and it shows. Doctor Howard is so helpful, engaged and personable. I think he should be a national treasure. Photos of my kitties included ?

I appreciate Dr. Howard's extensive knowledge about all things animal. He gave me some great tips on cat behavior for my new kitten. He also has been very helpful prescribing food and care for my senior dog and my other 4 year old pup. The nursing staff emulates his good humor and are all very kind and helpful and caring.

I would no longer recommend this clinic. Their front staff does not communicate with the doctors. We had a very unpleasant experience here recently where they said they would fill a prescription by the morning and to come first thing so our dog could have them. When we arrived at 7:30 (usually when they accept same day sick appts) they were closed with no one around until much later. Doctor showed up late and had a waiting room full of patients without any explanation or notification of why they would be late. We waited for an hour and a half because the doctor needed to approve the prescription prior to filling and then they doctor came out at 9:30 to tell us they wouldnt fill the prescription without an exam (one she has filled before without an exam).

We also had an unpleasant experience where they didn't properly quote us for a dental cleaning. When I tried to check out the charge was almost double the estimate they provided and when I asked about why there was a difference when the surgery went exactly as planned they let us know the estimate was incorrect so they offered us a "discount" which was barely $100 less. For a $1500 surgery that is expected to be around $700 that is hardly helpful.

I used to like Dr. Howard but as he transitions out the new vets have really failed to provide adequate care. We will not be returning and recommend you dont either.

We absolutely adore Dr. Hedlin! We would drive from Colorado Springs to Denver to see her for our cat and dog. When we found out she was back from her sabbatical, we didn’t even hesitate to make an appointment.

Her love for animals is incredible. Truly the only vet I’ve ever 100% trusted with my pets!

LOVE all the vets and techs at Alameda Veterinary Clinic. They are always looking to keep my baby healthy while recommending the most cost effective ways of doing so. They treat my dog as if they were treating their own furry family members. They even rein me in when I consider advanced testing that is expensive and really isn’t necessary. Couldn’t ask for better vets.

We just moved to Lakewood in August 2020 and needed a new vet come March 2021. I made our dog's appointment, and we really only had to wait a week to get her in (not bad, from my POV)! Due to COVID restrictions, you obviously have to stay in your car, but I honestly have never felt more cared for as a pet parent than I have at this clinic. They come out to your car to pick up your pet and explain everything to you. Miguel was wonderful and so kind - 10/10. The vet, Dr. Howard, also came out to the car just to debrief me on our pups annual exam. I have never had a vet do anything like this besides call me from inside the office. I felt like this was such a great personal touch. The exam was quick and to the point as well. I highly recommend this vet. Affordable, kind, and compassionate. Thank you, Alameda Vet Clinic! We look forward to coming here for years to come 🙂

Just here to update that in 2024 the service at Alameda Vet Clinic continues to be 11/10. Our dog was acting strange, and AVC got her in same day to take a look. Dr. Howard is truly the best vet I have ever experienced. He really loves every animal and is so informative about what's going on with your pet and why. He is never trying to sell you something - he just genuinely cares about your animal. I love this vet so much!
