Loyal customer since 1995. Warm, friendly, compassionate and proffessional. You will not find a better vet practice than this. Ive known Dr. Dumaris for many many years. He and his staff have always provided top knotch service. For example, I once brought in a dalmation that had been hit by a car. They got the dog out of my car and in the back in the blink of an eye! There quick action saved the dogs life. They stabalized him and found the owners. They never asked for any up front money either. Also, when my very old farm dog, "Sugar" was ready to be put down, I asked Dr. Dumaris if he could come over to the house to do what must be done as shell feel more comfortable at home. She went peacefully under her favorite tree and my whole family was there. It was a very emotional expierience and it even made the Dr. tear up. Dr. Murphy is an excellent choice should your pup require cherry eye surgery. Also allot cheaper! I was quoted 800.+ per eye at other vets. Alpine charged 400. per eye, half as much! Its been three years now and the cond. has never returned. Hes also really funny! I love Dr. Shultz. My pup is very shy and timid but feels comfortable with her. She is a very good listener and will talk to you about what is going on with your pet thouroghly. You will feel you got allot out of your office visit. She will take time with you and your pet and is very good with follow up and return phone calls. Very proffessional. Dr. Rita helped save my cats life when he developed fatty liver syndrome. She is thee most compassionate person on the planet! The staff at the front desk and techs are so warm and friendly. They always give my pet a lil treat when we come in. They know my voice when I call and treat me like familly. In short, theyve always been there for me and my pets on numerous occasions. Theyve even aloud me to make payments at times when money was tight. They are truely a one of a kind practice. Thank you Alpine View!

So I guess that my review was removed so I will have to keep a copy on file and maintain it on here, so here we go again; My cat had a bad flea problem last summer, I believe that she had bitten herself and caused an abscess and it was not going away so I brought her here, I told the vet what was going on and she had an abscess so she was examined, I was told it couldnt be an abscess (I did asked at this point what this was going to cost with no response) and was told it must be some abdominal obstruction, so after an ex-ray, ultra sound, they could not tell me what it was, told me she had a slight fever, gave her shot of antibiotics, told me to keep an eye on her for the next couple of days and charged me over $500 and sent us home. Two days after the visit the abscess broke opened and drained for two days and with some hydrogen peroxide and clean up it stopped draining. so if this is what vets now charge for there services I will be removing pets from my life style from this point forward, no more cats, and after my dog has passed no more dogs. Its sad that we have reached a point that only Rich People will be able to afford pets.

I first came to Alpine View with my dog in 1993 and have been bringing our furry family members there ever since. In that time, we have seen every vet at Alpine and they have treated our pets with compassion and expertise. My first experience there was getting a second opinion about my dog that had been diagnosed with cancer at another vet. Dr. DeMaris was able to extend her life, and quality of life, for many years more than I could have hoped or expected. When it came time to say goodbye to our 15 year old dog that had been a part of our family since puppyhood, Dr. Murphy created a comforting space and a peaceful passing for our old girl. Now we have a new little member of the family with a chronic skin condition and Dr. DeMaris has helped us manage the condition using both traditional and alternative approaches. For nearly 20 years now, Alpine View has provided routine checkups and vaccinations, surgery to remove tumors and spaying, and treated complex medical conditions for our pets. Most of all, they have treated our pets – and us – with respect and compassion.

We had a terrible experience at this vet 2 years ago so if you dont want your animal to recieve horrible care DONT GO TO ALPINE. They basically slaughtered our german shepherd and treated us with absolute disrespect. They tried to blame us for her condition. They did a faulty surgery on her and didnt put the stitches on all the way because some of them had fallen off. They did the surgery at 2:00pm then called us at 5:00pm and said to come get her. She was still out when we brought her home and she didnt wake up until 1:00am. They called us 7 hours later at 8:00am and said to bring her in so we took her in. They did more tests on her and gave us medicine for her. The vet tech who gave us the medicine was terrible because when we asked her what it was she said, "I dont know". We had to put her down because of the way they treated her. We ditched Alpine from that point forward and transfered all of our animals records over to Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital and its been an excellent experience at Pilchuck.

Absolutely fantastic place - i rarely write reviews, but I felt the need to do so here. We have 3 cats and since moving out here 2 years ago, weve found this to be an excellent facility with great staff. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Schultz - she is our primary go-to person. She discovered a tumor in one of our cats months ago, and had it not been spotted in time, we would have lost him in weeks/months. She shows great care/compassion and is one of the type of people that truly makes you feel like she cares. Most importantly, shes highly intelligent / knowledgeable. They are transparent re: pricing, and can offer different options (i.e. types of prescriptions, or treatments) to fit in with your budget. My wife and I truly love this place. If Schultz isnt available, weve also had great experiences with Dr Baumann. Both docs are top notch.....best wishes to your small family members :)

I have been a client (or rather my beagles have) since 1994. When I moved to WA, I asked around when looking for a vet. Alpine View came up again and again. Dr. DeMaris and his staff have looked after my beagles since then and they have done a wonderful job. Everyone is kind and caring, they call the next day to check on whichever dog had treatment done to see how they are doing. I call all the time with questions and they always answer or get back to me if need be. I trust them ABSOLUTELY with having my dogs best interests at heart. I had a really good vet in CA and am so happy I found a really good one in WA. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.
