Island pet hospital is in a good location in the Albertson's plaza on Ann/95. The vets and techs are friendly and responsive. The vet used an ear thermometer on my cat, which I appreciated because my cat has been to the vet so often that I hate torturing her more than necessary.
I found Island Pet Hospital by searching for Holistic vets in Las Vegas. My goal was to find a holistic vet who didn't look or talk like a cheesy crystal and beads monger from Venice Beach. Dr. Goldman seemed perfect.
He is very friendly and knowledgeable and has a pleasant demeanor. However, he and I had severe disagreements about the nutrition of my cat. That's fine, and I wasn't surprised by it, but he was also more than a little condescending. He belittled me and assured me that he, and the good folks at Royal Canin, knew what they were doing, and that I, a mere cat owner, had no idea of the best way to feed my cat. Oh, and have a bag of this Royal Canin kibble. It's teh awesome!
Finally, I'm also concerned about the cat "boarding" area. Their boarding area for cats is reminiscent of the kennels at PetSmart where cats waiting for adoption are kept. I suppose this is ok, except that the kennel is kept in the front office, an area that is busy, loud, and drafty.
