We've gone here for over a decade and continue to be impressed. Dr. Jayne is completely in tune with the animals that come in and is very professional. The staff is very friendly and often call you back later to check up on your pet.
This is one of those neighborhood vets that is fun to hang out at even if not there for treatment. It is set back in the woods on the side of a hill and looks like someone's cabin. Inside there are half a dozen old dogs & cats wandering around - obviously strays who bumbled into the right place. There are pictures and letters and drawings hanging on every square inch of the walls. Funky! And cool.
Do plan on waiting when you get there. This place is small and busy.
One time I went to Alpine Emergency vet in Issaquah (turns out it is a corporate vet) because TMV was booked and my dog couldn't walk. On the way home I stopped by to see if they had a minute to spare as I was concerned about the $3,000 surgery diagnosis Alpine had given me. It turns out the diagnosis, although correct (blown out knees) was about $700 too high. They also wanted to see the meds I was given. DANGEROUS! They told me the pain meds I was given at Alpine were fine but the anti-inflammatories could cause bleeding and possibly death. They gave me new ones on the spot.
These folks are good.
Pros: Knowledgeable, comprehensive, fair, kind, empathetic
Cons: Busy! (The price of being good)
