My dog has just recently been diagnosed with lymphoma and received her first chemotherapy treatment today with Dr. Hammond. This is only the second time weve been in the clinic, but the staff knew our dogs name immediately - a small thing, but impressive and appreciated. On our first visit, Dr. Hammond spent more than half an hour discussing various treatments for Gingers lymphoma. He was never hurried, gave us his undivided attention, and very helpful information. He also double-checked specifics with a colleague & called us back the next day as promised. Someone sat with Ginger throughout the administration of chemo today, and Dr. Hammond called to apprise us of her condition. When we picked her up, he spent another unhurried 15-20 minutes with us going over all of the possible side effects, when to expect them, and even giving us medicine for diarrhea in case she had it at no charge. Finally, he didnt mark up the cost of her treatment, ultimately enabling us to treat her. He has been very thorough, personable, professional, and caring, and we are very impressed and grateful. We thank God that we have finally found an excellent vet.

Ive taken two cats and a rabbit to this clinic and have had amazing results. The vet is a very kind and gentle man and does a really thorough job examining my pets. The entire time he was giving shots and doing tests he was talking to my pets and making calm reassuring sounds to them. He was never rough and showed a true concern for my furry family. I brought one of my cats in because he had stopped eating and drinking for days. He was able to find a small spot in his thick fur where he was cut and it had become infected. After giving him some fluids and a few shots he was back to normal and eating within a day. My rabbit had a urinary tract infection and he was able to show me how to crush up pills and use a syringe to give him medicine and he made a full recovery. I wouldnt take my animals to anyone but the Alberta Clinic. They always remember my pets and their history and ask how they are all doing. They really care and treat both pets and owners with lots of respect and care.

Very Expensive, my dog was there 30 minutes and received very little care and was put down. I was quoted between $100 and $150. Bill ended up $200. Without compassion I was fleeced at a very bad time. I would never use these people again. I was later told by an employee that had I been a regular customer I wouldnt have received the bill I did. For instance the only med my dog recieved was a shot for $39. Checking today I learned that every vet I called would have given the same injection for under $15. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

I miss taking my pets here. I had to move an hour away and sometimes I try to convince myself I should make that long drive to alberta. This is the best Vet I have ever been to, such sweet and kind hearted people. When I had to put one of my pets down due to an injury, they sent me a card saying sorry for my loss and even put his little paw prints on the card. How amazingly sweet that they took the time to do that! I just cant say nice enough things about this place.

Ive been using Alberta Vet for about 10 years and have found them to be a top rate Tuscaloosa Vet. Ive never had to wait long, and the service is excellent!! I cant say enough good things about them and was so happy when I started going there - I wish I had all those hours I spent waiting the the vet I used to use! You cant go wrong with Alberta Vet... and if you are a student, its less than 3 miles from the stadium.

I love Dr Hammond and his staff. I have taken dogs, cats, and chickens to him and have never been disappointed. On a personal note, I once reported to him some puppies abandoned at his office after hours and was pleasantly surprised when he reacted with the same amount of anger as I did towards whatever coward carelessly abandoned the helpless puppies in the heat on a weekend.

Ripped off. I went there because of the other ratings. Bad idea. Nickled and dimed. Do your research first. After leaving with a vet bill of over $300, found out that my dogs didnt not receive their heart worm meds like I asked. Plus, I received an additional bill later when I paid everything there. Maybe they take care of some, and pass the rest off on others.

Dr. Hammond and his staff are FABULOUS. My former vet referred me to him when I contacted her for a visit with a new kitten and she informed me that she was in her last week prior to retirement. (Dr. May) I really liked and trusted her, and she did NOT steer me wrong. As long has hes in business, and I have a pet, Dr. Hammond WILL be mine, and my pets vet

Dr. Hammond and his staff are so wonderful. We take all of our animals there. Our dog who had a torn ACL among other issues, and our cat who recently passed away. They are very nice. We always feel comfortable there, and most importantly the care our pets receive there is wonderful. The staff and Dr. Hammond truly love animals.
