Veterinary Specialists of Alaska

My kitten fractured her leg this week. I have been teetering between anxiety, sadness, and complete ignorance as to what to do. From the very first moment I felt welcome and cared for at this practice! I knew my kitten was in good hands and that she will be healed in no time. The surgeon was extremely helpful and broke everything down for me to include: expectations, the procedure, aftercare. I know he and his team TRULY love and care for my kitten. She is at home recovering with me and I can’t thank you all enough. ✨ UPDATE ✨ She went for her bandage change and the doctors took SUCH GOOD CARE OF HER. They have empathy and compassion for her needs. They even put a little heart on her bandage and talked me through everything they did. I cannot thank you all enough!!!

Went in with 10 y/o mini goldendoodle who suddenly developed hunch in her back, weak back legs and stiff front legs. Vet rapidly diagnosed FCE, did X-ray & labs. Really good discharge reaching. Not as busy as they can be but it took us 6 hours.

The staff was fantastic and friendly. They answered all of my questions and addressed concerns I had with my 10 yr old dog needing surgery. I’m comfortable and confident it will go well and I highly recommend VSOAK!!

Life is full of surprises! When we saw Dr. Edwards for Sunny's TPLO surgery in January 2022, we were not expecting to be back six months later for TPLO surgery on Sunny's other stifle. Lorraine was able to fit us in within two weeks! The short wait after his injury has made the world of difference in Sunny's recovery. We can't recommend VSA enough. Dr. Edwards, Lorraine, Taylor, Christine, the entire staff are incredibly patient, compassionate, and excellent communicators. They all clearly know how much are fur children mean to us! Taking the time to personalize the bag that his meds came in was a thoughtful touch!

I had an emergency with my dog and the clinic staff and doctors moved to heaven and earth to get us in and taken care of! My dog is home and on the mend. Thank you VSOA!

My lab/husky needed major back-to-back surgeries on two different limbs, with all the related recovery time, and every single person at VSOA helped make the three-month experience just as easy as it could have possibly been. The results have made it all worth it. I feel that my dog has been given the most comfortable senior years he deserves.

Customer service here is top notch. Amazing attention to detail throughout the entire process. The Dr. spent the time explaining every detail of the procedure my dog was going to have... in minute detail! I've never had a Dr spend that much time with me. Should be held as the standard bearer!
