This veterinarian went above and beyond to serve our dog. Had a tumor on our 9 year old Great Danes leg that opened up! The vet and staff made time to do the surgery the same day and remove two others while he was under at no charge to save us money so he would not have to have another operation next year! They truly care for our family member/ pets Read Less

I was new to the area and didn’t have a vet. My dog had a couple of lumps on him then developed a very fast growing lump on his left chest. I took him to this clinic. Usually my dog wouldn’t let anyone exam him. The doctor sat on the floor with him, talked with him then was able to completely assess him. Turned out he had a total of 10 lumps and 2 mole tags. The doctor performed surgery to remove all. He did a fabulous job at a very reasonable price. I’m so glad to have this clinic and would highly recommend this clinic Read Less

The Dr and his staff are wonderful! For 14 years they have been taking care of our cat. She does not like going to the vet and makes things very difficult but every time they are beyond patient and so kind to her. I cannot say enough great things about this place. I highly recommend them for any of your pets. Read Less

I took my cat here due to him having scabs on his ears. The second the doctor walked in he stated my cat had ringworm. He then recommended a cream and quarantine for him till it was cured and a check up appt in a month. Two weeks into this treatment my cat got worse. We call and ask about the oral medication they talked about during the initial appt. The vet states they have nothing that will help him and referred us to a dermatologist without seeing him. We end up seeing another veterinary clinic. Who then states it doesn't look like ringworm at all. Turns out my cat had a fever and is being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. My cat suffered for an extra two weeks because Alamo animals hospitals neglect. Read Less

Dr. D and staff have been there for me through the worst of times and the best of times. The compassion he has showed my animals and family is second to none! Thanks for everything you do for me Dr. D, always above and beyond!!! Read Less

My husky has been experiencing infrequent  inward coffing over the past week, then today she started tilting her head and shaking one ear as if something was in it. After checking both ears to find nothing in them, my husband called our usual vet to schdule an appointment only to find that they are book up for the next two weeks. This vet was recommend for a sooner appointment, they were even able to fit her in today!The main office is cozy with two wooden benches facing each other, and two office chairs against the back wall. The staff was friendly and efficient.The problem was with the doctors prescription. She was diagnosed with seasonal allergies, and he perscribed ear drops and pills. A side from that, and seemingly unrelated we were told that she can not consume egg, meat, and dairy, with no real explination as to why. Nothing was fully explained. Normally when a vet prescribes something to any of my animals they fully explain why this is being prescribed, for how long it's to be used, and options are provided. Instead I left feeling the need for a second option. Read Less

I always have a positive experience when coming here. The Dr is SO patient with my dog, as well as gentle and compassionate. They have never tried to sell me anything I didn't need or suggest unnecessary testing. The pricing is affordable and the treatment plan is always discussed in depth before anything is decided. My dog has nervous energy and the Dr goes out of his way to be mindful of that fact and handles him with care.  Thank you! Read Less

I am surprised by some of the negative reviews. I have been taking my dogs to Dr. D for a long time. My dogs, being old, have required some surgeries. Dr. D always did a great job, at a reasonable price. Dr. D cares about the pets. I believe some of the reviews are because the people may not understand cultural differences in people. I have traveled many places, and culture  definitely plays a part in one's persona. When I first went there years ago, I was somewhat off put by his persona, but I decided to make my judgment based on the quality care my pet received. Since then, I have come to appreciate him and his personality, as well as the quality care my animals receive. Dr. D is somewhat introverted, direct and gets right to the point, but don't mistake this for not loving pets, because he does very much. When I go to the vet I don't want a long, extended visit, trying to make me feel better, because it's not about me, I'm there for my pet. I want my pet get the care they need, then move along so I can move on with the rest my day. Dr. D and his staff have always gone over and above to get my pets the care they need, when they need it, even making their day longer because my pets needed immediate care. I will definitely continue to use him as my vet, and I personally recommend him regularly. Read Less

A friend recommended I bring my cat here, even though this is not my usual Vet. He had been in a fight and had a terrible infection on his back.  He needed surgery, a Y incision on his back, 4 × 5 inches, with a drain. My cat, who is very difficult to handle, set still for the doctor while he was being shaved for the initial exam! Amazing!  I was charged $417 out the door for everything, which I think is reasonable. I knew what I would be charged in advance.  That included everything, the medicine, and three follow up visits to remove the drain, the top sutures, then the inner sutures. I was worried it would be much more, which is why I went with my friends reccomendation to come here.  We are pretty much at the mercy of whatever a Vets office wants to charge us in emergency situations like this.  Dr. Dahliwahl explained everything to me, was kind and caring.  A great experience overall.  I will not be returning to the Vet I have been seeing in town for the past 15 years.  Alamo Animal Hi spiral has a new and happy customer for my cats and dogs!

Dr. D is amazing.  Helped my dog when another vet (the one by Burger City. Don't go there!) charged me almost $100 just to give me the phone number for UC Davis and medicine that did nothing. Dr. D saw my dog and immediately took her to the back and said bye! We are helping her now! Did surgery and I had her back by the end of the day. Im never going anywhere else with my fur child!

Dr Dhaliwal is amazing. Other reviewers have mentioned that, with him, the animals come first, and no truer words have been spoken. He is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever taken any of my fur babies to. Those reviewers who have complained about his "bedside manner" just don't understand that his sole focus is on making your pet more comfortable and treating what ails them. His staff is very friendly, very caring, and obviously well trained. His prices are very reasonable, and he's so amazing that I'd go there even if they weren't. You'd be doing your pet, and yourself, a great disservice if you take them anywhere else. Read Less

Went there today with my 9 year old dog because she was itchy. Big mistake. First off, his handling skills is atrocious. First thing the nurse did was scan for a chip. She was very sweet and all, but couldn't find the chip. Then the doctor came in and tried. While scanning for a chip he held my dogs muzzle tightly closed and pinned her down, making her extremely uncomfortable. As someone that has gone to vet school when I was younger, that is not how people are taught to handle dogs. It's a good way for him to get but by a less even tempered dog then mine. Then after 15 minutes of continuous looking for the chip he says he can't find, he puts a slip leash on my dog to make sure she can't move away from him and talks down to me as if I was lying about her having a chip. I saw my vet inject her with one when she was a pup. Still he insists on the chip, probably because he wants to sell me another one, when I wasn't even there for that!.. I was fed up by this point. I stood up, took the slip leash off of her and told him I didn't like the way he was handling my dog, or the attitude I was getting. To which he replied that I was the one with an attitude. Real professional. Went back to my normal vet and they found the chip no problem. If you care about how your pet is treated, and the care you get. Don't go here. Read Less

Dr D is the best! Called on Saturday to see if they were still open and the receptionist told me they were closing in a couple minutes. I told her I just found a big open wound on my cats face and not sure what I should do. Dr D got on the phone and told me to bring him in. He saved me a lot of money staying open for me and not having to go to a emergency vet. My kitty is healing and happy at home. Thanks again! Read Less

As a volunteer for a reputable 501(c)3 rescue organization, I called this vet to perform a reference check for an adoption applicant.  This is standard protocol for most - if not all - reputable rescue organizations.  Usually, receptionists are able to answer my questions (and, in fact, I called this same veterinary office for an applicant/adopter last year and had no problem speaking with the receptionist), but this time the receptionist stated that only the vet could speak with me.  Dr. Dhaliwal called me back later in the day and proceeded to verbally harass me and then rudely hung up the phone on me.  For the past four years I have routinely called vets for reference checks, and I have NEVER had anyone interact with me in so hostile a manner.  I understand that he would not release information without the owner's consent, which is totally fine.  Of the many, many vets I've called, the vast majority do not require owner consent, but when they do, that's not a problem; I simply ask the owner to call the vet to give them permission to speak with me.  So, that's no big deal.  What is unacceptable, however, is the manner in which Dr. Dhaliwal spoke to me.  Whereas most vets are extremely helpful and, in fact, thank me for being diligent in ensuring that our adopters are responsible pet owners, Dr. Dhaliwal yelled at me, launched accusations at me, and, worst of all, before hanging up on me, interrupted me constantly and would not let me get in a word edgewise - either to explain our process (which he stated he did not understand) or to let him know that I heard what he was saying and would simply ask the applicant to contact him.  This is not a way to treat anyone.  I cannot speak to his competence as a veterinarian, but I can say that his treatment of me reveals a profound lack of respect for other people (including people who are extremely dedicated to the welfare of companion animals, as evidenced by the fact that they are volunteers for a rescue), an unwillingness even to hear what another person is saying, and a disturbing lack of compassion.  (He remarked to me, "I don't care if you're upset," after I admitted to being upset at his hostile tone.)  I hope for his patients' sake, that my interaction was not typical and that perhaps he was having a bad day.  However, I would not feel comfortable interacting with this vet as a client, nor would I feel that doing so would be in the best interest of my beloved pets.  No matter how intelligent and skilled a vet may be, vets need to be able to listen to their patients' owners, since, as anyone who has a pet knows, an animal's behavior at the vet will not be the same as it is at home.  A vet who demonstrates such an utter disregard for other people and who consistently interrupts, talks over, and demeans others is not a vet I would trust to be receptive to what I - as an attentive pet owner - was observing or communicating.

After I was transferred to talk to the doctor he immediately complained that he was on his lunch break. I informed him how his staff transferred me to him to help my sick cat. He said " I already heard this is not a easy money patient" I informed him that he was a stupid ass and should not be in the business of a animal care specialist to take only easy money cases. he then asked me if I was talking to him and I assured him I was definitely talking to him and he hung up.

Dr. Dhaliwal is AMAZING. He has compassion for animals and people, especially little people. I've been taking my zoo to him since 2005. My mother and sister go there also and love them as much as I do. I have friends and family in the veterinarian field. When I've had issues with my fur babies I've called them. Where they didn't have a clue as to what was going on, Dr. Dhaliwal knew, right off the bat. The tests always confirm he is on point. This man has a gift. The prices are reasonable, and the facility is always SPOTLESS. I'm a clean freak so cleanliness is very important to me. On a personal note, my son has special needs that you wouldn't know by looking at him. Dr. Dhaliwal has the upmost compassion and patience with my son when he comes along to the appointments. He's not bothered by my son making noises and squirming around. He speaks to him like any other person and explains things to my boy. Not everyone understands, even when they know my boy has special needs. His compassion for animals, and children speaks volumes for his character. It warms my heart when I leave knowing my fur baby is getting the best care and my little boy is getting treated like the awesome kid he is, and not a little boy who wouldn't sit still while mommy is talking to the doctor. Dr. Dhaliwal is an amazing veterinarian and human being. The staff is amazing as well. I will always take my fur babies to Alamo Animal Hospital. I wish I could give Alamo Animal Hospital more stars.Read Less

If I could give more stars, I would. Dr. D's office is the only place we will take our pets. He is very knowledgable, patient, and made sure we knew exactly what was happening when our pup got sick! We considered finding a vet closer to our home after we moved, but when the new vet charged an arm and a leg and put out the idea of multiple surgeries on my little boy, we took him to Dr. D for a second opinion. After some fluids and medications, my pup is almost 100% back to normal. His energy is back and he is eating and drinking on his own- no surgery needed! Thanks Dr. D for helping the youngest member of our family :) Read Less

Took my cat with an infection and the vet was fantastic. He was very experienced and professional. I was in and out quickly. Gives you the price upfront before giving any medication. Highly recommend. Read Less

I would give less then one star if I could. The day before Thanksgiving, we were setting up for it in our back yard and as I walked by our dog run, I noticed my almost 9 year old lab wasn't being his normal jumpy self. Later that evening, we went to give them some scraps and he wouldn't even look at us, which was an instant red flag. He would not get up. He wouldn't even look at me. All he could do was wag his tail. He wouldn't eat or drink. Nothing. I didn't think he would make it through the night. But he did, and I knew he needed to be put to sleep. He was looking very old and this was so drastically not him. I have had to put my dogs down before, and they acted the same way. The earliest appointment I could get (due to the holiday) was Saturday morning.     So we took him in and the doctor proceeded to tell me that he wouldn't put my dog down unless there was a medical reason. And old age is not a reason. Which I took issue with. If you are old, your body gives out. And there is a reason when you don't want your dog to suffer. But ok. He proceeded to do the exam. And he tells me that my dog is severely dehydrated and constipated. And I told him well obviously considering he hasn't ate or drank since Wednesday. He then tells me that he has severe arthritis and the pain isn't allowing him to eat. He wants to do a blood test to make sure his organs are working. And prescribe him arthritis and pain medicine. They also gave him fluids. And they will call me Monday with the lab results. So I walk away spending $300.   We go home, put him in front of a heater so he can stay warm and comfortable. And give him the meds. I noticed when I was situating him that there was a mass right by his front leg. And the doc did an exam and didn't see that?? And nothing changes. He lays there from Saturday morning until Monday evening. Monday comes, and I'm waiting for that phone call. Never came. I finally call them at about 2pm asking why i haven't heard from them. The doctor gets on the  phone and tells me that the results say his liver, kidney, and he pancreas are all good. And I tell him that's fine, but my dog is still in the same health as he was when I took him to the vet. I said how come he still isn't eating or drinking when you told me it was because of the pain and he is on pain meds. He shouldn't be feeling anything!! So then he tells me that his blood cell count is low and he thinks he has tumors in his stomach. And I said no shit!! I can feel one by his leg! And then he says the results suggest that he has blood loss from internal bleeding. And basically has stomach cancer. At this stage there isn't much left to do. He said that an almost 9 year old dog looks like he is 14. And that isn't normal. Why on earth he would think arthritis would cause that and not cancer is beyond me. He saw him on Saturday and saw how old he looked!    So I say can we put him down finally then? And he agreed. So I just got done spending another $240 to do what I walked in there saying needed to be done in the first place!! That's $300 wasted and almost 3 more days of suffering that we didn't need to go through! How can u just write it off at arthritis when it's stomach cancer? I am definitely not going back. Ever!

Dr. Dahliwal is such a humble, caring, intelligent, and very experienced Veterinarian. In hindsight, wish we took our furbaby Koda to Dr. Dahliwal months sooner instead of Banfield. Sadly, we eventually had to put our sweet baby girl, Koda down (d/t cancer and blood loss). Dr. Dahliwal and his staff showed so much compassion and gentleness to Koda, this really touched our hearts. Thank you for all you do. Read Less

Dr. Dhaliwal is a very quiet veterinarian, but he is good. He recently put my Buddha mamas to sleep and today I got a card in the mail today and it was signed by everyone in the place. It also had her actual footprints on cards inside the card. It kind of opened up wounds that are healing, but it also helped me to feel better. I seriously love you guys. If you want good care for your pet, go here. These people really care. Read Less

Called because my dog was choking on a treat and I didn't know what to do. Somewhere between the 3 minutes I was on hold I was able to heimlich the treat out of my dog. From beginning to end their main concern was whether "I had an account with them or not," not if my dog would be okay. Go someplace where they actually care about your pet. Read Less

I have been taking my cat here for 5 years now. I have always been ablE to go in the room with him and have discussed his care with the vet (who is a very compassionate caring person). I would and do recommend this vet to everyone. I am taking my puppy in this week to be spayed and am sure she will have excellent care. I WOULD NOT TAKE MY ANIMAL TO ANYONE ELSE. Read Less

Dr. Dhaliwal is a compassionate and knowledgeable practitioner. He takes time to explain your pet's problems in a way you can understand. Twice when I was unemployed he and I worked out a treatment and payment plan that was able to meet the needs of my pet and still allow me to get along. The vet assistant is calm and knows how to work with difficult animal situations. I have taken all my dogs and cats to Alamo animal hospital and will do so again. Read Less

I will NEVER go anywhere else. Alamo animal hospital faithful for life. The doctor and the staff are amazing. They genuinely care about every animal they see. Further more, we all know how expensive having animals can be... I never leave here feeling like they got one over on me or like I've been ripped off. To say the last I 100% trust anything they say or tell me to do for my animals. They should have 5 stars on here. I can't believe they don't. Read Less

This is the best veterinary hospital I've ever been to as well as the cheapest! Dr. Dhaliwal is extremely intelligent and aggressive in treatment. Rest assured he will make sure your pet gets the best treatment without all of the hidden "surprise" fees. During an annual exam, Dr. Dhaliwal found a tumor in my poor dog Princess's abdomen. Although I was devastated, and entertained the worst possible outcome... Dr. Dhaliwal was able to calm me down and together, we talked about a game plan. After a few X-Rays and an ultrasound, the tumor was in her spleen and had to be removed with surgery. The area he performed surgery on was stitched up so nicely I even took a picture of it. He took pictures of the tumor and showed them to me. He also sent it to the lab, thank god it wasn't cancerous, but it was quickly growing and could've ruptured most likely causing sudden death due to internal bleeding. It's very common for doctors to miss things like this. I've referred numerous friends to him and they all really like him. He's very nice. He is more on the quiet side which can come off as rude to certain individuals but that is not the case at all. He's not there to be your therapist. I really like him and his staff. If you want a great doctor for your pets, come here, if you're looking for warm and fuzzys along with sugar coated, over priced BS, don't come here. In fact, I saw at least two dog owners thanking him with hugs. Read Less

Pros: Cost effective, quick and convenient, very polite staff. Doctor is competent.Cons: Vet is cold towards at least my animals and to ownersOk so I do not like giving negative reviews but this vet has pushed me over the edge. I have two dogs that I've had for over two years. Initially I was taking them on base for basic needs but due to medical issues popping up and the base not supporting pet emergencies I brought them to Alamo. I like how they are quick and to the point getting us in and out and not emptying our pockets in the process. I started going to him more regularly for basic needs such as shots and getting fixed. I eventually started to notice that one of my dogs( who is skittish) simply did not like him. She would freak out the minute we walked through the door and did not want him touching her(growling barking) So, I went back to the vet on base. She had no problems walking in and eventually warmed up to the vet. ( She did growl at first but I noted he took a little more time to let her get used to him) After asking around I heard a rumor that he generally does better with cats so I decided to try to take her on base more and use Alamo only for emergencies. This was at the end of 2013.Summer2014: There is a special medication that they do not sell on base that they had prescribed at Alamo. I went there simply to ask for a refill and the staff notified me that the vet would not sell medications for dogs he had not personally given physicals. I notified them that my dog doesn't like him so I try to avoid bringing her in unless there is an emergency and wanted to know if I could just get a vet on base to write a prescription. (The conversation was extremely light. I was not rude. I did not say anything about how he does his work. I did not put any blame on him and the staff was very receptive.) They took my information and said they would ask the vet when he got in. Approximately 30 minutes later he called me and immediately started off with "So you told my staff your dog doesn't like me." I knew this was going to end badly. I said yes and he asked why. I said. "Because my dog is slightly aggressive with you." Him: "So she isn't that way at the other vet?" Me: "She is initially but it's not to the same extent as with you." (Here's the part that sent me over.) He rudely said, "Ma'am that might be your perception but aggression is aggression and I do not scare dogs." A. It might be my perception?! I have never seen my dog act that way with any other animal service provider to include the other vets and several different groomers. He is the only person that requires her to be muzzled.B. Basic customer service and phone etiquette dude. You do not talk to customers/ patients like that just because they said something you didn't like or agree with even though I never put his skills into question.After that the conversation ended with him saying he needed to perform a physical if I wanted meds and me saying I would find alternative options. A simple no I cannot prescribe you medications would have sufficed for that phone call. After this combined with my dog's dislike ( Yes, Dislike) of him I plan to look elsewhere for all future needs for all of my animals and I do not plan on recommending this clinic to anyone.

I am very upset with the Staff and the Vet at Alamo Animal Hospital. I had never been there before but they were recommended by a friend. I called and made an appt to my my kitten spayed. She is a disabled kitten as she has only three legs and she has had previous surgery on the back stump. The morning I dropped her off I was not able to speak to the Vet. I was called at noon to say she was ready to be picked up. When I got there I felt I would see the Vet but again only the staff and they gave me instructions. I was told to come back in three days for a follow up. I called to make an appt they stated the Vet would be in at 9 I could come any time after that. I went at 9am again the staff came pulled my kitten out of her carrier took her in the back leaving me outside in the lobby. A few mins later the staff returned with her said she was doing fine to come back in 7 days for the staples to be removed. Still I have not seen the Vet who did the surgery on my kitten. So I called the morning of the 7th day to make an appt to get the staples out. I had worked nights at my job and called at 8am asked what the earlies I could come in to get them removed she told me the Vet does not get in till 9am so you can come anytime after that, so again I show up at 9:02am and again the staff come and take my kitten from me, I asked am I not going to get to see the Vet since I have not ever seen him and this is my first vist with you guys, she stated oh the Vet is at a dentist appt you would have to come back if you need to see him, she asked is there questions you have. I said NO but I felt I would like to meet him. She walked away with my kitten to return stating she is fine just a little swelling of the site but that is normal. I have never been treated like this before. I feel the Vet should see the family of the pets these are like are babies and I do not take my kids to the doctor and not see the doctor myself. I spent almost 200 dollars and I am not sure what the hell they did. So dont go to this Vet unless you dont care about your animal. Read Less

After reading the reviews, I was skeptical about bringing my cat Gracie who had been suffering from frequent vomiting. But since Alamo Animal Hospital's location was so convenient I decided to give it a try.  As soon as I entered the lobby Dr. Dhaliwal came rushing out to consult with another client but first looked right at me and politely greeted me.  The office staff were friendly enough but their in-house cat was even more friendlier and entertaining which helped pass the time while waiting in the lobby.  Dr. Dhaliwal was very thorough with his examination of Gracie and asked me many questions about her.  His answers to my questions were very informative and he took his time in explaining every detail.  He has even taken out his smartphone to research this product I had researched and was considering giving to Gracie.  He gave me handwritten notes and photocopies of information to remember and would also ask me, several times, if I understood his explanations.  He even thoroughly explained the various treatment options and side effects.  I truly feel that Dr. Dhaliwal cares about my my cat's well-being.  She is very skittish and afraid of her own shadow but he has a very calming effect on her.  He even offers to help me put her back in her carrier.  After Gracie's first dose of prescribed meds which we started 15 days ago her vomiting has gone from almost daily to just once.  She even seems more relaxed and happier.  I am so happy for her and delighted to have found Dr. Dhaliwal.  YES I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend him to other pet owners.

Gosh, I went here without reading the yelp reviews. But I am GLAD I brought my friend's dog in. Our initial impression of Dr. D was almost no impression, lol. A man with little words - very to the point. Dr. D honed in on our dog the moment he came in to the exam room. Gave his prognosis, what the dog needs now and what we should do when we get home. It was unfortunately looking very slim for the dog, but Dr. D gave us all the help our money could afford. He may not be a true people person, but we are there for the dog, not for our egos. Dr. D cares for his profession, and in turn cares for his patients. I am going to return with my personal dogs. 4 star because exam rooms kinda out-dated. I guess I got used to the corporate Banfield inside Petsmart. Read Less

The staff at Alamo Animal Hospital are the better than any vet i have been to. The staff in its entirety are compassionate, helpful, sincere, and overall extremely nice. We have been taking our animals to Alamo Animal Hospital for several years and we will continue to be their patients indefinitely. The vet himself, is one of the greatest people we have ever come across, especially in a field where the nature of the job is not always a happy one. Dr. Dhaliwal will never force you to do anything nor does he quote you the most expensive treatment to try an make a buck. He will suggests several options for treatment doing his best to keep people with lower budgets in mind. He genuinely wants to help pets and their owners. His honesty and compassion is something refreshing in an field that can easily charge you for treatments you "may not understand." One of the many great things about Alamo Animal Hospital is they will explain not only the what of the treatment but the why as well as any dangers (which from my experience several vets will not inform you of even the more common dangers).
