Alston Darin DVM

Oct 2024

We love AVS! We moved to the area last year and have bounced around Vets offices to find someone we like. Dr. Alston and his team were the perfect fit!

Very knowledgeable about anything that could be the cause for any visit and his team treats our babies like their own. Never once have we been displeased with the service there!

Even better, their prices are extremely reasonable as well! They're not out there charging as much as possible just to fill their pockets.

Our human family started a K9 Boxer family with Dr. Alston many generations of amazing dogs ago... He was a young vet then and we were on our 1st boxer named Remus. Since then, Dr. Alston, Allison, and all the friendly folks at AVS have continued to provide our routine wellness checks, shots, cleanings, etc for our Boxer family as we have grown. Remus and our rescue Cash had a large litter that Dr. Alston helped us prepare for new homes and continues to care for the two pups we kept, Fabiola and Seth. When we sold 6 of our 8 pups, we provided AVS as our vet of choice for the new families that lived nearby. So, in all this vet clinic has cared for the patriarch of our Boxer family until his departure at 11 years old. They care for Remus' Baby Momma "Cash" (our rescue from a Clayton County neighbor) who is currently about 11 years old. This very special team currently keeps Remus' two littermate pups in our household well - Fabiola and Seth (they are 7 years old). Last but not least, one of our families who took a pup 7 years ago still patronizes AVS for all of Sebastian's wellness needs. In all, it has been about 20 years of service with this clinic. We respect and try to patronize our local businesses, especially Black-owned business. Dr. Alston probably keeps costs to his clients so low by staying in the small strip of Youngstown Square off Point South Hwy and not wasting money on a bunch of bells and whistles that we pet-owners don't use or need anyway. This man knows animals. He no longer performs the big surgical procedures but, for your routine maintenance - this is your guy! Please don't pay too much credence to the nasty reviews for this business, they have and always will be a five star provider of services to pets!

The staff is really polite and explain things thoroughly but my only complain is that I would love it if they didn't took your loved ones to the back to be seen by the doctor. It would be more professional to have the dogtor go onto the room and examine them in your presence. But we re in covid times but still,if the nurses get to do so the doctor from my point of view should do the same.
