Dr. Alvarez is the most thorough, kind and compassionate Vet. We have been under her care for over 10 years and cannot say enough about her wonderful care of our pets.

We have been going to Animal Wellness from the moment we got our dog. Wonderful vet; great team. Dr. Alvarez and her staff are kind, friendly, courteous, compassionate and you can tell they truly love animals. Dr. Alvarez combines traditional western medicine with alternative/naturopathic methods to provide best care for each patient (and that was one of the main reasons I picked her clinic to begin with). Every single time we are there, as soon as we come in, we are taken right into our own exam room and seen promptly. The entire clinic is clean and inviting.

After we moved we tried a few different vets, but they didn't feel like they cared, just wanted to charge you for everything they could. Dr. Alvarez is AMAZING! You can tell she cares the about the animals. She is knowledgeable and explains things without talking down to you.After we started seeing Dr. Alvarez one of our dogs started having a lot of health issues and ended up needing surgery, we couldn't have been happier we had Dr. Alvarez.There staff is extremely kind and helpful. They are easy to get a hold of. If you have pets you need Animal Wellness Veterinary Center!

We have been using AWVC for 12 years, and we wouldn't trust our dogs with anyone else. We love Dr. A's obvious passion for her profession and for our furkids, and she has seen us through some rough periods with illnesses and injuries, and love that she thinks outside the box. All of which is why we travel MANY miles to continue using AWVC. And it isn't just Dr. A -- the ENTIRE staff is phenomenal. Wish we could give more than 5 stars!

UPDATE: We've moved way up into Litchfield Co. and still drive back to Dr. Alvarez! We've been seeing Dr. Alvarez with our past and present dogs and cats for seven years now. I just recommended her to a friend in Stamford as she isn't happy with her current vet. Give them a call, you won't regret it!_________________________________We have two cats and a dog and have been going to Dr. Alvarez for four years, since we moved to the area. She is the perfect balance between western and eastern medicine and always has the pet's best interest in mind. Her staff is caring and patient and I'll be a client here until the day when/if we move away.

My dog was SO stressed at her old vet we had to try somewhere new. Our experience here could not have been better. We were seen immediately (vs a minimal half hour wait) Our dog happily bounded in with her frisbee in tow to with loving and enthusiastic assistants. Dr. Alvarez is thorough and proactive and nit alarmist in any way. Extrememly glad we made this switch!

I took my 6 month old puppy and I really liked the way they treated him for his first vet's appointment. They checked him in front of me and was cero traumatic for my pet. I do appreciate the staff and doctors take the time to ask and listen to pet's parents. Prices a very friendly too! Cozy place!

Everything you would hope for in a Veterinarian. Dr. Alvarez is smart, experienced, professional and genuinely warm and caring. Her staff was also kind and cheerful.
