  I felt long and hard about making this post, But given what my social media followers have told me and encourage me to do here we go. Dear Vet Alexa F Budde I took 24 hours and three different social media platforms to make this decision on this place today. You and I both know what you said to me yesterday at the front office Of your clinic yesterday, We brought in a coupon for a spay from Alameda County , clearly, we didn’t have enough money to pay for other services yet you still went out of your way to have your staff and yourself harassed my staff and my family member to pay for services. Our puppy did not need , And when we repeatedly told you, we couldn’t afford it. You told us to go clear the bushes in your back parking lot … Unacceptable Like I said, I took 24 hours to even write this post . There were multiple people in that clinic that watched you talk down at me.

  We’ve been taking our PitBull to Dr. Budde since he was 4 years old and now he’s 16 so that goes to show the great care Dr. Budde and her staff have given him over the years along with the love and care our family has. If you’ve never gone to Dr. Budde the way she expresses her opinion regarding your pet may come off as very blunt but she tells you how it is and gives you the honesty you and your pet deserve. Her prices aren’t too bad compared to others in the area, she’s very reasonable and does what’s best for your pet. There is no other vet like Dr. Budde we don’t know what we’ll do once she decides to retire(hopefully not soon), she also has great staff that are always so nice and welcoming. If your looking for a honest vet that cares for you and your pet Alta Vista is the place for you.

  very *** Interesting I only gave one star ..... because - "I had to-! - in order to possibly post my comment" - which is ...... the staff were very interested in their Pokemon card conversation or whatever it was that held priority over the topic of: my cat and , her having a miscarriage in my arms as she had been and all while losing blood for the past half hour prior to my arrival . once I was able to break into the (now numbering 3-?nurses or vet techs?- conversation , I urgently explained what I knew of my cats current condition and ongoing situation . Maybe I seen too many emergency TV shows where they show real life trauma events and everybody is "all concerned" and "seemingly determined" as I felt from what I seen it would be the approximate time ....!??? ... but , nope not for these people ! in the old saying - when in Rome act like a Roman } would it be the same if I were to say ..... when in a job position where you are paid very well to be that person you are to be while at work - ----- do that job to your best ability . if the job is a garbage man then bust your butt to get those benefits and $36 bucks p/hr . and wave hi to all the people in the street and greet them with a "g-morning " . and you would be in great shape all the way around . ! ..... however .......if you have a job to do - that doesn't fit you due to lack of several simple varying interests but I believe should be - ( mandatory ) qualifications : or skills , abilities , or measurable qualities that one would need to possess like.... empathy #1 #2 care #3 a very little bit of heart. ...just the tiniest piece would suffice . which in my unprofessional opinion = could not be witnessed nor even measured , not even with a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer . I -do -not- believe - the individuals employed herein could be the correct fit for the position they are employed for ... maybe , towing or something else but ... no . not a veterinarian. if I can't say something nice then all I can say is .... my mother ...... gave me some advice that I just figured - EVERYBODY - had been given by their mother or caretaker, : she said to me " if I acquire a job that is something I like to do , then I'll never work a day in my life "!!! maybe the occupation that you're in now isn't for you because I can tell when people genuinely like to do their job due to factors which at most times are somewhat incommunicable but when I see them I can recognize them Immediately . ! this experience and place is a prime example..... soo when you're in the wrong occupation , the evidence will be overwhelming . to oneself and to any person who has two eyes or ears or in this case ..... all you need in order to access and conclude if truly people are in the wrong line of work , is to own a pet , that needs medical assistance .. I pray that a day such as the one I am currently experiencing never fall upon any person else . have faith and hope that people will care and help care for one another . I believe in the Bible someplace it may mention a point God may want to teach us all .. when he said " if _you_ help take care of the people- I -care about then- I - will help take care of the people _ you _ care about !
