I was referred here by a different veterinary office because they knew this office would be able to get me in sooner. Alta Vista has awesome hours. I called and they were able to get me an appointment 2 days later. I was super happy about this. Apparently, they have many more rooms and much more staff, hence the ability to get me in sooner.
The lobby and exam rooms are clean. There is a separate waiting area if you have a kitty and would prefer to wait there with your cat. I came in specifically looking for a check-up, senior cat blood work, and a urine test for a UTI. They did not try and push anything more than what I came in for. He actually tried to tell me my kitty probably didn't need a UTI check because he's male and it's not really common for male cats to get them. We did the urine test anyways to be safe and to make me more comfortable to know he was having behavioral issues rather than a medical issue.
From the time I got there, plus kitty check-up, blood/ urine work-up, to paid and out the door was a total of 1 hour. The vet called me the next day early in the afternoon with the lab results. I was worried I was going to have to stay on top of this and was very happy that he called me. I was unable to answer the phone, but he left me a very detailed message about the results, what the results meant, and what I would need to do if my kitty continued to have any issues.
I am super happy with this vet office.
