I've used alpine since I moved to the gorge a few years ago. Staff are always nice. They follow up the next day which is kind. The vet I saw this past time seemed nervous around my dog which then made her a little weird. Still fine care though.

Alpine is the best! We rescued our boy Clyde a couple years ago. He had some issues so we immediately started taking him there to get healthy. They identified his allergy's and got him feeling like a puppy again. He is doing great because of them! I highly recommend Alpine Veterinary Hospital!

I called about a stray kitten that I have been feeding and it is wild, I can't approach it. It got ripped open by some animal, and its intestines are hanging out. I called this vet, and they refused to put the animal out of its misery, without having an exam.that is $80 and also, then they decide if "my pet" should be euthanized.! Also, with another pet that is dying of cancer.even though they were the ones that said there is nothing that can be done.insisted on a "wellness check" to prescribe the only medication that helps her through this. They are unprofessional and they have no heart.

We came here for a couple visits even though we reside in Portland to get puppy vaccinations while waiting for the first available vet appointment locally. The breeder we got her from goes here and the staff even remembered delivering the litter! It was really sweet how joyful that visit was, and I just wanted to thank you all for being so awesome. Very professional and kind and Dr. Vance is great.
I think having such positive first vet experiences for a puppy has set her up to do well in the future. If we lived closer we would absolutely continue care here, but maybe we will pop in for a visit someday. :

We brought our dog in to Alpine Vet Bingen for a blood draw ordered by portland vet. Alpine Veterinary Hospital in Bingen WA, Dr. Vance told us, is affiliated with Alpine Veterinary Hospital in Hood River OR. However they duplicated services and charged us for the service, which was a general examination of our dog which had been performed less than two weeks prior in Hood River. He then complained that our dog had an odor he was not familiar with and insisted she be tested for thyroid.
We told him that this odor is from swimming in the Columbia daily and that our male dog, same breed develops the same slightly yeasty odor in the summer. Charges for this and other services for which we actually wanted this vet to perform, were not discussed prior to receiving the bill which was essentially double the cost of the requested service. Vance also inserted himself in care of our dog which was being supervised by another vet and gave a lot of bad and unsolicited advice. We are extremely dissatisfied.
