I began taking my 1 year old Pomeranian to Alcor Cresta when the late Dr. Good was the vet there. I was so impressed by his gentleness and his willingness to explain every detail I needed to know. And the price they charged for the exam and the shots was so much less than I had come to expect from other vets. I was so relieved to finally find someone compassionate and caring, both with my baby and with me. So when Dr. Good tragically passed away far too young, I felt it was a huge loss to the whole community, and was worried for myself and my little guy. I was wary when Dr. Clayton first came to the clinic, sure that no one could ever be as compassionate and knowledgeable as Dr. Good. To my relief, after a few visits I found that Dr. Clayton was truly sweet and caring to my little guy, and patient with my questions as well. Later, we added a Chihuahua puppy to our family, and Alcor Cresta added Dr. Mark. Each time I meet a new person at the clinic, I am astounded by the compassion and love they have for animals, and very grateful for the patience and knowledge they share with me. Our little girl had an accident and broke her front leg. We were terrified we'd have to amputate. The doctors spent so much time coming up with options for us, and working with us through an operation and months and months of rehabilitation visits. Both doctors stayed fully aware of every detail of her treatment, and honestly explained all of the possible complications and spent time both in reassuring us and in helping us face the realities. Now, many months later, our little Chihuahua is a speed demon running around on her fully healed leg, and both staff and doctors recognize my two babies and call them by name every time we come in. Despite the terrible things she had to endure, and the unavoidable pain she suffered, our little girl is never afraid to come into the clinic, and our little guy LOVES coming to socialize. That is because everyone at the clinic just radiates love and appreciation for animals, and they did everything they could to take away the inevitable fear that such pain creates. It's amazing to me that Alcor Cresta has truly been able to carry on the legacy of care and love for animals in a way I think Dr. Good would have been proud of. There is no place I've ever been, including my own human doctors, where I have ever seen the same exemplary level of care, devotion, and expertise. Read Less
