Terrible place to be in. Dr.Aliziane is disrespectful to the techs, to me and my cat. Hes very aggressive and he will not listen to what i have to say. He gives the worst attitude and makes me feel like im dumb. He acts like he knows everything but he doesn’t. The techs and front desk were the only nice people in the building. I never want to come back and i hope they fire Dr.Aliziane. WORST VET EVER. He should learn to show respect to owners and to the people he is working with. If i could give no stars i would. So much respect to the people that work with him everyday. Disrespect to alizianie, respect for the team.

I’ve never left a review in my life, but the bad taste this place left in my mouth was unacceptable. Between the price gouging, the unnecessary tests they run without your permission, and the vague estimates, it was a frustrating experience from start to finish. To make it worse, when I questioned why the final bill was nearly double the original estimate, the staff showed attitude instead of empathy. For the prices they charge, you’re better off going to a reputable veterinary clinic that won’t try to take you for every penny and actually cares about your dog’s well-being.

Have been taking our dog here ever since he was 3 months old and he’s 12 years now. Never had health issues and for a 12 year old he’s still healthy, playful and his breath is still odorless. He runs, plays, eats and poops well. He’s over 12 already and for some time (may be a few months) he’s been licking his buttt and visibly something seem off, however we do not see any infections or sign. This week took him for a normal check up to see if there’s anything concerning and he’s a 80lb (not overweight for his size and gets enough exercise daily). He was being little cranky and the VET “Rachid Aliziane” barely touched the itchy area for even a second or 2 and said it’s cancer. “This guy is a “Cat vet” and inherently hates dogs. He did not touch the dog for 3 seconds and all he did was throw some hypothesis; in his own words “from experience” and suggested a healthy happy running and playing should be put to sleep. Mind you they also seem to have lost records and nothing they said made sense about recent/past tests and immunizations. I would never let Rachid Aliziane see my dog and done with this place. I can say from My a decade of experience this is not a good vet for large Dogs.
