These guys are excellent. I stopped in a couple of days ago and saw Dr. Ghumman for routine vaccines. he looked my dog over from head to toe and he seemed to enjoy the whole exam. he was very gentle and extremely thorough. he did a great job pulling a bunch of my pooch's loose and infected teeth. Since the procedure I really think he feels like a million bucks.
I would recommend this wonderful little neighborhood gem to anyone.

I'm used to seeing Dr. Cameron in Sunnyvale whose clinic I highly recommend and will continue using...

...however I wanted to get a rabies vaccination for my cat during the holiday (it's a long story but basically she needs to be travel worthy and there is a 6month wait period after she gets the vaccine.)

Anyways, after seeing the InsiderPages score for Alta-View and noticing that their location is close to my house I decided to give them a try.

1) after check-in there was a 30minute wait in the front room before going to an exam room. The reception staff were courteous, but the wait seemed to be unjustified.

2) While waiting in an exam room, a few staff members poked their faces in the door without apologizing or even acknowledging they had made a mistake. I asked the technician who weighed the cat if you are always this backed up... He shrugged and smilingly said yes.

3) finally after an additional 15minutes the doctor showed up. He administered both shots (FELV and Rabies) within a few seconds. Then, he asked to borrow the cat so he can take her temperature in the back room out of site. My instincts told me that this is dodgy. Every other vet I've been to has examined the cat in my full view. Taking a rectal temperature reading is not hard to do! They seem to have some protocol which states we must take the pet in the back for about 10minutes for unknown procedures before returning them. I asked the tech about this procedure and all he could say was I don't know...we have people in the back to do this. I'll let you decide for yourself.

4) I requested that the vet scan the cat's chip as a part of the cat's required travel documentation. After a few minutes, the tech emerged from the back room explaining that our battery is not working and we can't scan it... I find this level of ineptitude unacceptable.

The charges are reasonable,

I had a 3pm appointment for my 6 week old puppy. I stood at the front counter for a good 8-9 minutes waiting for someone to come up to the front counter to assist me. 4 different employees walked by me and made eye contact with me so I know for a fact that they saw me standing there and not a single one even acknowledged my presence! It would have been nice to have had someone say something like someone will be right with you or I will be with you in just a moment. But no, they just looked at me and then looked away and kept walking. It was me that had to say loudly Excuse me, I have a 3 O'clock appointment, could you please come give me the paperwork that I need to get started on

Once i was finally given the paperwork to fill out, I had to wait another 45 minutes before I was taken into a room. 25 minutes into me waiting for the room, I asked the girl at the front counter how much longer it might be. She is horribly vague and refuses to give any form of a definitive answer. She leaves you feeling like you are not important enough and that you can just wait.

Once I was called into the room, the DMB came in within 5 minutes which was nice, but when he went to get my puppy her first shot, it took him 20 minutes to return! I used to work at a vets office...IT DOESNT TAKE THAT LONG TO GET AN INJECTION TOGETHER FOR A 1.25 lb. DOG!!!

Since this is my first puppy, I had some very basic questions which the DMV was not interested in answering any of! My fianc???? and I were left with the feeling that our puppy was not important nor were our questions.

Sadly, the room that I was put in with my puppy was filthy! How was I supposed to want to put my puppy that has not had any shots yet on a filthy table?! And to make matters worse, ever since she left Alta View, within 12 hours, she has developed some sort of sneeze that is progressively gotten works. I kno

This is the BEST vet I've ever been to! Dr. Paul was great, actually the entire staff was fantastic! I called and was able to make an appointment for my puppy to get his shots the very next week. We went and the front desk assistant was really nice and didn't look at me weird when I couldn't remember the flea and tick meds he was on... (yeah I know bad momma). The check in was really fast and to get to a room took no time at all... for all you pet parents with overly active pets you know why this is important. My puppy must have loved the place from the start because he wasn't barking and jumping and going wild like he normally does in a vet's office. (Sometimes it's so bad I stand outside until a room is ready.) We went to the room and the vet tech asked me some questions and held an actual conversation with me. She was friendly and gave me some tips that are working for her and her new puppy... Anyhoo I spent about 5 minutes with her and then less than 3 minutes later the vet came in. Can you imagine going to the vet's office and seeing the doc before reading through the table of contents of a magazine??? I know it's unheard of!! Then Dr. Paul and I had the best most thoughtful conversation regarding my puppy baby. He asked great questions, gave me somethings to think about and in an extremely nice why let me know my puppy was a little bit overweight. Even when Max jumped, he was never rude about his behavior and gave me some options on obedience classes. He never pushed any unnecessary treatments on me and their prices where better than any vet prices I've ever paid! For the exam, and 2 shots it was less than $80. If you live near here, heck even if you don't; bring your dog or cat to see Dr. Paul... just don't take up all of the appointments

We took our pet dog Maya in for limping to Alta View Animal Hospital. The vet diagnosed the problem as a torn ligament in the knee. The sugery was performed by the surgeon at the hospital. The knee healed perfect. The follow up care was superb. I would recommend this hospital to anyone who wants great patient care and personal attention. They also have reasonable prices.
