I was impressed with this vet practice from the moment I first took my dog in. The staff were kind and friendly. The vet was great. He went into so much detail about my animals health and gave great advice. Not once did I feel hurried, nor felt like I was being talked down too. One of my dog loves the vet. She loves the treats and extra attention that the staff showered on her. But my other dog becomes a neurotic mess whenever I even come close to the vet office. They were very kind and gentle with her and encouraged me to be right with her the whole time. There was never any pushing or hurrying with her and her nervous nature. She wont even take a treat from them. By the second visit she was taking treats and even wagging her tail a little. It was at this point I knew Id found the right place. They listen and understand that I know my animals best. Unlike some vet places that take the upper hand and treat me like they know more than I do. I liked that a lot. They made me and my dog feel at ease. So happy with the overall care. They give me lots of options each time. Right down to the type of knee surgery. Both would have worked for my dog and they gave me all the pros and cons of each. They never made me feel awkward if I turned down a treatment or test due to cost. They understand we dont have unlimited money even for our own healthcare let alone our animals. So they give the best treatment in my price range. With blood and urine tests they call you back within a few hours with the results and discuss the outcome over the phone. One of my dogs (the one that loves the vet experience) is getting near the end of her lifespan. When the time comes I know these guys are going to treat her with the love and dignity she deserves. As an extra note to some of the bad reviews I read.... I find it surprising that people are complaining about the clinic wanting all the money from the prescriptions. My personal experience about asking about cheaper alternatives lead me and the receptionist in a discussion of how to get the best prices animal medicines online and making sure it was a recognized place that did not sell counterfeit medicine. They were great at helping me trying to keep my costs down but keeping the care of my animals up.

Will never take my dog here again. My dog has never barked at anybody hes met until the vet walked into the room. My dog started growling & barking, standing by my daughter & I like he was protecting us. The vet tried to tell me how to "train" our dog (like Ive never had a dog before). Everything he told us to do was mean & negative, totally opposite of the positive training/obedience class we were participating in. But when he kept telling my dog that he was a "bad dog" and that we needed to thump him across the nose because of his barking then I knew we were at the wrong place. I am not hitting my dog, not going to be mean to my dog, and definitely not using the negative behavior that was suggested to train my dog. The office staff was nice and we, dog included, really like them but I will never refer anyone to this office.

Not only did the vet scare my 18 year old kid by muzzling our very tame dog without provocation he also told him that he was not taking good care of him and demanded we have an immediate dental cleaning. We took her to another vet and they said while they did see some tartar it was not at all emergent. Go to this vet with caution, he is obviously focused on up-selling and less interested in providing good care for the animals. I really feel he tried to take advantage of my sensitive kid by trying to hard sell him by reaping fear...which is TOTALLY unacceptable.

Dr. Thompson has been taking care of my dog for more than 2 years now and his care has been nothing short of remarkable. My dog is getting along in years and requires a bit more attention these days as mysterious ailments seem to plague her on a semi-regular basis. He has promptly identified her problems and treated them expeditiously within a reasonable price range. His staff is friendly and they clearly love animals. They are all willing to go the extra mile to keep my dog happy and healthy, which is more than I can say for my own doctor!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Thompson and staff at Aloha Animal Medical Center. The service is always friendly, efficient and compassionate. More importantly the Dr.s knowledge and ability to diagnose and treat our family pets is invaluable. After months of watching friends struggle with an unknown illness afflicting their dog we convinced them to go to Dr. Thompson where they were quickly diagnosed and their dog is finally in recovery. When you are in need of an experienced and knowledgeable vet do not hesitate to call.

I love Dr. Thompson and his staff. I have two dogs and they are always so gentle and loving with them. My minnie aussie used to be aggressive at other vet clinics and they would muzzle him. Dr. Thompson has never had to put a muzzle on Cody. From the very first day, he just walked in and picked him up with no problems. My two dogs have had different health problems over the past few years and he has been excellent in treating them. I wouldnt take my dogs anywhere else.

This place is beyond excellent. They helped us extensively with our old cat through the end of his life, and were very compassionate and professional. It was a tough several months for us, and they did an excellent job with diagnostics and treatments to help us make the most of the time we had. They also helped us balance cost vs quality of life improvements so that we could make the best choices available to us. Id take my pet here even if I had to drive across town.

Dr. Erik Thompson got a very bad attitude when I couldnt afford tests on a 16 year old dog. Then the medicine was hundreds of dollars, so I chose to take the prescriptions to Costco where they were under 25.00 for all three prescriptions. The doctor was very mad at me and threatened the pharmicist. I feel he is more concerned about the money then the care of the pet. I will not go back to him again.

Been taking my pets to Doctor Thompson since 1993. Hes been great to work with, his staff is always caring and sensitive. My dogs even like him as much as theyve liked any vet. Plus hes got cats to pet -- First Chip and now Squint. Very clean. The surgeries Dr. Thompson has done on my dogs (cancer, acl, spay, neuter, cat bite cycsts) went well and the animals recovered nicely.

Dr Thompson has been our vet going on 20 years now! All our dogs have received wonderful care and service from Aloha Animal Medical clinic. Staff are always friendly and courteous, the place is always clean. Dont believe those few bad reviews, that is not at all what we have ever experienced here. Highly recommend to anyone who wants quality care for their pet!
