Alameda Veterinary Clinic
Dr. MacKenzie and the wider team deliver consistent, unhurried care at prices that feel fair for the region. Reviewers note staff members by name (Dr. Haleigh, Dr. Howard, vet tech Stephanie, front desk Phoebe), praise their willingness to sit with anxious pets and follow up by phone the next day, and highlight the clinic's gentle approach to end-of-life care. Even longtime clients of 16 years speak warmly of new ownership. Alameda handles routine wellness, surgery, dental, and urgent same-day visits across a range of temperaments, from senior dogs to nervous cats. The clinic has been operating for over 60 years and serves Lakewood and surrounding areas. Diagnostic testing can add up (one reviewer noted multiple x-rays were costly), but owners say the care justifies the expense. Staff flexibility, genuine kindness, and clinical skill define the experience.
