I love this hospital! When I brought my first kitten in all of the staff had to come in and say hi to her! Not only that but they remembered her when I brought her in for subsequent visits. The vet is a die-hard and got on to me when I admitted to not cleaning my cat box on a regular basis (up to 5 days) and in a kind way where he's showing the concern for my baby. He truly cares about animals and wants the best for them, which is what I personally want for my animal's care! Now that I'm back in the area with a dog in tow I'll definitely be bringing my fur-babies here. They always answer the phone and they always care. I really feel love from the moment I enter to the moment I leave. 5 star in my book!! Read Less

Our new family member came to her first doctor appointment last Friday. The staff was polite and friendly, and Dr. Thorne was very gentle with chili, our dog. He gave us good information about her health, dental condition and what were her options. There is a saying which goes, "don't look into the mouth of a gift horse" but if is a dog (adult dog) you better do it and take him/her to the doctor immediately. I'm glad we did. Read Less

Dr Thorne and his staff are amazing. I found them by dumb luck a few years ago, by calling all local vets to see who would order me a specialized prescription food for my sick dog- after 10 or so "no's" I reached Alderbrook and got a "sure" they were so friendly, professional, and accommodating that I switched over to them and have never looked back. They take great care of their patients, and they always follow up after procedures - and take the time to explain your pets health in detail. I've had problems with several vets in the past, and used to drive to Davis to get the best care, but I've learned over the years I can get that same care with Dr Thorne. I'm so glad I found them!

When I go in with Ruby (African Gray) or Jack (Rescue Dog Extraordinaire) or both at the same time, they help me get in the door, checked in, corral Jack for his pedicure, and wrestle Ruby out of her cage to clip her wings (Ruby can be mean) And, it's all done with professionalism, good humor, and patience. They really do care and it shows!Read Less

We were traveling through Northern California and our dog's cough was getting worse. Just south of Santa Rosa we decided to take her to a vet and called Alderbrook. They were wonderful! Got us in right away even though Dr. Thorne was in surgery. Dr. Thorne gave Lily a thorough exam that included two phone calls to her regular vet for information and gave her some meds. She was better a few days later. Dr. Thorne and the entire staff were helpful and thoughtful. We love our vet in Phoenix, but we would change to Alderbrook if we ever moved near Santa Rosa! Read Less

My name is Homer. I am nine years old. Oh my, how time flies. I was only eight weeks old when I was taken to Alderbrook for the first time. I was more curious than frightened because I knew, even then, that my parents loved me so much. Dr. Thorne was very understanding and reassuring. He gave me a shot that hurt a little for a very short time even in dog years. I have been going to Alderbrook about twice a year and I have always been treated with respect and kindness. I do like to be respected. After all I can trace my family for seven generation. Once when I was sick, he called home to talk to my parents to see how I was doing. He and his staff really care. I have recommended Alderbrook to my friends in the neighborhood and they are very grateful. Thank you Dr. Thorne and Staff, Love you back, HOMER. Read Less
