I took my Pit bull in the day after Christmas a month ago today and I only took him in for a medical bath. An hpur later my dog was dead. They left him by himself and lied about being gone for a minute to translate for a customer that didnt psy yet. I paid for services. Devastated thst my fur baby is gone. If I could put -negative next to tthe star. Read Less

My dad brought in his dog after his dog got attacked by stray dogs that got into his yard. Took him in, they just bluntly said it's going to cost too much money and work and that it'll cost 2500 on the spot. I'm sorry, you didn't even clip his hairs and thoroughly look at his wounds and just give an estimate like that? They didn't even assess his wounds. When I saw him he was still covered in matted blood and hair. Mind you that this dog has THICK hairs. My dad refused to be treated there and brought the dog home. The vet prescribed some sort of med that just says "prescription #1" unknown medication... no clue what it is. I brought him to the hospital in Gardena, he stayed there and with medical bill wayyyyy less than what this hospital estimated. Of course the Gardena facility clipped his hairs, performed diagnostics and THEN gave me an estimate. Idk why my dad liked this place before, but I don't like how you randomly prescribe a medication without a proper label...and telling my dad that it's too much work and not giving appropriate estimate before assessing the injuries. And I went over the other day to ask what the unknown medication was because the other hospital was asking... and the lady had audacity to tell me that my dad was negligent in going AMA with the dog there? No thank you. I just didn't want to treat our dog at your facility. It was my decision to go AMA. Not my dads. Received thousand times better care elsewhere. And oh yeah, he survived. You guys thought he wasn't going to live. Alive and well. And lastly, what if someone unknowingly ingested this "prescription #1" and you guys were off hours? It's dangerous!!!! Read Less

My mom use to bring our dog Maylee here before she past away. She always loved how knowledgeable Dr. Gibson was. I am now bronging my two children here (dog and cat). It is kind of pricey but the service is great.Read Less

I have been going to Dr. Gibson for at least 30 years. You will not find a better animal doctor, he cares so much for the pets. I feel so fortunate to have my pets see him. I have moved out of the area, and still go him. Read Less

I am a old client of Dr. GibsonDVM. My dog (a Dobie) went here for over 17 years. And thanks to the loving care of Dr. Gibson and his assistant Marvin, she lived a long and happy life. Thank you and God bless YOU and you staff. Signed. Tim Bennett. Grace Bennett's son. Read Less

I brought my Chihuahua in an emergency with her right eye popped out and needed urgent care the Dr. had a full house and attended my dog right away and managed to re insert the eye back. The surgery was not overpriced. Won't post any photos to graphic but shes recovered and is ok. Read Less

Terrible customer service!!! My husband took his dog for an ear infection , so while waiting at the lobby, older lady at the  receptionist kept telling my 2yr old and 6yr old to be quiet, bribe them with candy so they can stay still and not make a sound!! Really? Sugar will keep him still and quiet? I had to work so he had no choice but to take the kids with him to the vet! I didn't appreciate that Read Less

Love this animal hospital !! There always been there for me. My dog got bit by another dog on the neck. he was bleeding so much closing his eyes. I thought I was gonna loose him. I called alameda hospital and they said they weren't on open hours but that he will open earlier for my emergency. They opened an hour earlier just for my dog! I took the same dog to get fixed and everything came out great the medication said cut into 4 pieces and give one a day maybe people get mistaken and give the whole tablet remember read the directions carefully and everything will come out fine :) and now I take my lil chihuahua here for shots and check ups best doctor ever!! He's a beautiful kind person. If it wasn't for him my dog would've not been here with me today!! Read Less

A house of voodoo, not science. The front desk lady seems to think cellphones will interfere with her machines, but that ancient tv won't. How can you trust a vet that believes in witchcraft? Never returning. Read Less

Today the scariest thing ever happened to my dog. He suffered a seizure at the groomers prior to being groomed. Luckily the Team at PetSmart Alameda location rushed my dog to Alameda Animal Hospital, they kept me informed every step of the way so that I can meet them there. When I called Alameda Animal Hospital to get directions I was told by some loser receptionists or nurse that she had turned my dog and the Petsmart agent away and sent them to Affordable Animal Hospital on Long Beach Blvd because the Vet was at lunch. This lousy loser even said to me "what was i suppose to do, the Vet is at lunch". I cant believe the bad attitude and lack of care for an emergency situation. But overall I am glad that she made that referral the Vet and nurses at Affordable Animal Hospital were absolutely the Best.... Big Props to them and 1 funky star for Alameda Animal Hospital Read Less

*I highly recommend this animal clinic.  The Doctor and staff and very welcoming and assist with all concerns. *Prices are reasonable, not over priced. *Customers are seen promptly without having to wait for too long. Read Less

Today 7-6-2015 I am so overwhelm with joy when I found this hospital, the wait was 10 minutes top to be seen for the first time. When I came in with my 8 week old cat my 16 yr old daughter crying and the cat having seizures uncontrollably it was heart wrenching to see the kitten suffer. I had previously went to another animal care place that try to charge me $100 higher than Alameda hospital and a extra charge for medication which I could not afford. Thank GOD for Alameda Animal hospital Dr. Thomas L. Gibson save my kitten life. After the exam he knew exactly what was wrong. The cost was very affordable, the lobby clean, the environment friendly and inviting. I will be going back for more follow ups for my pet and would recommend you to do the same if you have pets. My kitten name is Bunnie a.k.a Sea Buscuit she is recovering well, what a scare.... Read Less

This is a wonderful place to bring your pets.  The front office person Terri is so nice.  I like talking to her because she has so much knowledge and really cares about the people.  Dr. Gibson is good too.  I would highly recommend this veterinary office to anyone.  No matter where you live, this is the best place to go mainly because of Terri and Dr. Gibson.  The techs in the back are great too.  They do a fantastic job with my dog's nails.  I'm so glad I have a place that I can finally truly trust. Terri is fantastic and I like everyone else is too.  I wish all offices had such a great staff like this one. Way to go.Thank You very much!Tammy T. Schifanelli Read Less

Horrible hospital - wouldn't give a copy of vaccine history to our boarding facility unless they squeezed out another 5$ - Wow !! May as well go to the clinics outside of pet stores - they are definitely more helpful and less expensive. Read Less

Five stars for the nurse/receptionist, none for the Vet I dealt with. I have a veritable zoo at home [a German shepherd, three cats(it WAS four), a bunny and a lizard] and I've had to deal with these guys twice already. The first time, maybe a year ago one of my cats, just a kitty then, was shot with a BB gun by my asshole neighbor...they literally just stapled the wound closed and used an ace bandage as a "cast" for her shattered shoulder. Never even removed the BB or prescribed pain medicine. No wound care follow up.  This last time, my neighbors evil dogs (one whiny shepherd and one husky) had somehow gotten ahold of one of the other kitties...and were about to start playing tug of war with her when my son and I saw and jumped the fence to rescue her. She was only bleeding a little, but meowing and freaking out as we rushed her to the vet. The nurse, who's behavior is the ONLY thing that deserves stars, rushed us into the back room...where we stood waiting several minutes for the dr. The cat died in our arms.  Five seconds later, he walked in and put his stethoscope on her chest and says, "She's dead" before turning on his heel and leaving. As if the blood leaking from her nose and her lack of breathing hadn't already informed us. He only said two words the entire visit. Never even looked me in the eye. And had the nerve to charge me for standing in his office while my cat died. And the wait time is still a mystery, since there was NOBODY besides us there. Don't go here for emergency care, unless you want the worst vet ever. Read Less

Dr.GIbson was wonderful! I took in my boxer pit bull mix because was wasn't eating well, and he was so gentle and kind with him. The staff there was really nice too. The woman in the front was very helpful and very understanding. Its also VERY affordable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a vet! Read Less

I loved this place.....the vet, the staff, all were pet friendly and understanding.  they made every effort to help me and work with me to get my dog's ears taken care of.  My dog completely freaks out normally , when it comes to his ears so I did not know if anyone could help him !  This place was recommended to me by someone who has been a long time happy camper that uses Dr Gibson for her dogs.Thank you !

I just got back from Alameda Animal Hospital where I didn't have an appointment and was in and out of there in under an hour.  Easy parking.  My elderly dog needed some teeth removed and Dr. Gibson treated him with care.  Teri at the front office was nice and friendly.  Prices were very fair too, $30 for an office visit.  I would highly recommend Dr Gibson and his staff.

My dog Lola made it ! :) Great animal care and reasonable pricing . I'm glad I have Trupanion pet insurance , Terrie helped with the Insurance claim . Thank you Alameda Animal Hospital !

I recently took a rescued dog in for her shots and a check up. I found out that she was suffering from malnutrition and a few other things but they quickly took care of her and now she's doing so much better. The service was GREAT! They were very helpful.  I definitely recommend despite what Octavio wrote :) Read Less

Many years ago I took my dog to get his eyes checked out because it looked like he was going blind or maybe had some catarats. This was maybe about 12 or 13 years ago and the vet gave us some cream like medicine for his eyes and some pills. My dog started to have convulsions from the medicine given to him so we stopped giving it to him and went to a different vet. The other vet said that the wrong drugs were given to the dog so that's why he had convulsions. I don't know how that place is anymore but I would not recommend this place to anyone for any reason.
