Burke Veterinary Clinic

I have been going to Burke Vet for 30 years or more. I trust the vets there with my babies. My last visit was to say goodbye to my dog. They had the room set up for her comfort (and lots of tissues for me). It was an emotional time and everyone there was very caring and patient.

Dr. Alt rates 5 stars however it seems the past few years have seen a number of veterinarians come and go which in some cases have been a good thing however, the clinic is still not allowing pet owners in so it's difficult to judge the new staff members. I gave the practice 4 starts based on Dr. Alt but am considering changing practices since they still won't let you in with your pet while other clinics opened their doors sometime ago.

This no longer seems cautious but appears that the vets do not want to interact with the pet owners any longer; it can be difficult to point out issues over the phone and the interaction is just not as complete via phone versus face-to-face. I hate to change clinics after 20 some years but this continued "lock out" is ridiculous.

Dr. Alt and the team at Burke Veterinary Clinic are the best. Dr. Alt's gentle way with pets always put my cats at ease. As my cat aged, he was always thorough in his exam, monitored all the various ailments, and compared changes across time. Dr. Alt gives excellent explanations of what he sees and provides options for treatment when necessary. I was especially grateful for him this past week as he helped guide me with end-of-life options for my 13-year-old cat who became ill while I was out-of-town. I shall be forever grateful.

This is the best vet office ever! Staff is caring, attentive, supportive, polite and extremely knowledgeable. They are cost conscious too and generally offer more than one option for treating/managing serious conditions.

This is a great practice. I trust them completely with the care of my dogs. All of the staff are friendly and efficient. Anytime I have a question about my dog's health, need a refill, or anything else, it's handled very timely. My oldest dog had a hemangiocarsoma removed by Dr. Alt some years back, and has had no complications surrounding that issue since.

Before he had surgery, Dr. Alt spent a lot of time going over every detail of what we could expect with the surgery, as well as what to expect afterwards. They are always very thorough, and I never feel as though they are ordering unnecessary labs/testing. We're fortunate to have this practice close by

I have been seeing Dr. Alt for many years.adopted a new pet from Craigslist and called to make a wellness exam.was told they would not schedule an exam until I emailed them records and only then would they call me to schedule something.on a new pet? It has become progressively more difficult to get an appointment with this practice so I will be looking for someone who actually wants to and has time see my pets. I like Dr. Alt but feel like this practice no longer has the time for them.this is not the quality of customer service and true concern this practice used to show!

I have been very pleased with the excellent care given to my dogs by the staff at Burke Veterinary Clinic. I highly recommend them!

I would recommend Burke Veterinary Clinic to anyone pet owners looking for a Veterinary Service. I have been using Burke Veterinary Clinic for just over a year now. I have found their staff to be friendly and responsive. They are always willing to answer any off the wall questions I may have, be it the answer is "this" or recommend you look into "these" possible answers.

Their staff has always been on time, and usually able to accommodate me 10 to 15 minutes earlier than my appointment. I have never felt pressured to make any purchases (or decisions) I was not comfortable making at the time.

Dr Alt is the most caring, compassionate vet. He always calls after the appointment if there's a problem to see how my dog is doing. He's very patient in explaining all the instructions. He gives superb care to my dog. My son likes him so well that he started bringing his dog to Dr Alt. The staff are superb and extremely courteous and good with animals.

This is just a wonderful clinic. I had a very sick kitty who required multiple vet visits this year. Each and every time we took him in, we got excellent care from start to finish. Dr. Alt did an amazing job explaining treatment options and he was so compassionate when we lost our beloved cat. When your furry friend can’t tell you what is wrong, you want to take them to someone you can trust. I have two other cats and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else for care.

Our dog is leash aggressive and this is the only vet or clinic that pays attention to that in his file and they always work with his to get him in and out with no instances. Dr. Alt is wonderful with him, caring and I love the follow up phone calls to see how he is doing. We have had routine medical checks and surgeries, everything has been wonderful and I felt my dog was taken very good acre of at Burke Veterinary Clinic.

I was with Burke Veterinary Clinic for 18+ years. I adored Dr. Alt. Then Something went wrong--not sure what. He sold the practice; was never available; wasn't the caring Dr. Alt my dogs and I had known to love. Recently we had issues with our last dog, Charlie. I phoned sobbing that Charlie was not doing good, I wanted to bring him in and I. think it was time to put him down.

I was told by Esther that "the doctor didn't have any time for Charlie plus they were getting new computers tonight so if you want to put your dog down you need to go to Regional Vet Referral Center to have this done" Really? I was more upset at the lack of passion this office had for my dying dog. This is the.

Love the staff and all the vets. Dr. Alt is a fantastic Veterinarian who truly has the animals best interest at heart. Only recommends test and surgeries that are necessary. Not trying to just make money.

The doctors and staff are outstanding! My dog had a seizure and they had me come in right away. Most of the true emergencies they have made time right away or within 24 hours. I've had 4 dogs as patients over the last 14 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

We love Burke Veterinary!! I have taken four dogs there and my parents take their two and their cats. They are compassionate and caring. The doctor you saw always calls a day or two after visits to check on the well being of the pet taken in and they never push for completely unnecessary testing. The doctors and the staff all are very loving toward all the animals.

I have been in for everything from Puppy shots to end of life care and the random injuries and sicknesses in between. Thank you especially to Dr.’s Alt and Monahan for your kindness to me and my pups.

My dog loves coming to see the vet. She knows where they hide all of the treats! Dr Alt and Dr Wilson have been great with my puppers.

We highly recommend Burke Vet Clinic and Dr. Alt! As soon as we brought home our new puppy, he had some serious complications that resulted in emergency surgery. Dr. Alt and the staff were with us every single step of the way. I never expected having to call an office so many times for a sick puppy, and I also never expected the personalized care and attention we received from Dr. Alt. Five stars from us!

I've taken my dogs there for all their lives, the staff is wonderful and the Veterinarian's are excellent! Very caring, and always following up after an illness or surgery

Burke Vet Clinic is the best. Kind, compassionate, I've been bringing my pets here for years. My dogs actually seem to enjoy coming, at least for their wellness check ups. Prices seem reasonable as well. When you have a problem and leave an after hours message Dr At always calls back quickly. I feel like my "babies" are in good hands here.

The staff and doctors are amazing and friendly! My dog, Olive, loves visiting and they have provided top notch care. My dog needed a booster shot and I was going to board her the next week, since I was headed out of town. I explained the situation to the staff and they squeezed Olive in on a Friday afternoon, so I wouldn't have to postpone my trip and she would have her shot early enough to still allow her to be boarded.

Overbook their schedule, incorrectly schedule appointments, but never accommodate you even if it's their mistake. I brought my dog in for kennel cough vaccine (a second visit, the first time they scheduled it on the wrong day and told me I had to come back). The room was full of dogs (presumably because they were overbooked) and my dog actually ended up contracting kennel cough at that visit!!!

I've been going here 10 years and it only recently got bad. There must have been a change in office manager. The vet's are fine but I would like to know that protecting my pet and having respect for clients is more important than packing your schedule to squeeze out a few more dollars.

We've been going to Burke Veterinary Clinic with our present golden retriever puppy and our previous goldens for about 25 years. Dr. Alt is very gentle and has a soothing way with animals. Always answers questions and/or concerns and then personally calls to follow-up after hours. The staff is courteous on the phone and in person! Thanks for all you do!!
