If I could give more than five stars, I would! Dr.Faber and her team are amazing. I had to share my experience because I struggled immensely when I was told my 18yr old cat with stage 3 kidney disease needed full mouth extractions. There were so many risks to this surgery and I truly didn't know what the right decision was. After the referral from my primary vet, Dr.Faber allowed me to do an over-the-phone consult with photos (rather than going in), which was a big deal because my cat doesn't do well in the car. She was incredibly thorough with questions and answers, and explaining the procedure

I cannot express my gratitude for Dr Faber and her team! They are amazing! I called every hour our furbaby was in surgery and they took every call with a smile on the other end and provided me with updates! They went over in every call, where they were at, how he was doing, what was left to do. It was a very long day for ME, as I worried about our furbaby as he is 16 years old and has a heart murmur. Dr Faber and her team are fantastic! At discharge we had so many questions about his medications and etc. Again patient and made sure we were comfortable before we left the clinic. Thank you so much

Dr. Faber and staff: Amy, Teresa, Kayla have been so helpful, professional and supportive when my puppy was for tooth extraction. Amy helped me with regards to understanding pet insurance claims and following up with my pup's appointment. Dr. Faber was very detailed and organized on explaining with regards to the procedure. Teresa was caring to update me on Sushi's wellbeing and to go through post tooth extraction. Overall it was a success and I commend the team effort of this clinic. I highly recommend their services to other pet owners and parents.

Amazing staff. Exemplary support and service. The receptionist is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable. Dr. Faber is kind, sweet and knows what she's doing! I wanted to give her a hug at the end! She removed my cats problem tooth safely and found issues no one else found before. She is amazing and I'm so thankful that she took care of my sweet cat. The atmosphere is very nice, they offer coffee when you walk in. They are positive and it good spirits. I love it! Would highly highly recommend their clinic and Dr.Faber.

The staff at Alberta Veterinary Dentistry and Dr Faber are absolutely amazing. I have a young Bernese mountain dog and he had a growth in his mouth that grew very rapidly. Bernese are prone to cancer and I was very concerned. I called Dr Faber and she got me in to see her the next day and my boy had surgery to remove the growth a few days later. I was incredibly impressed by Dr Faber and her staff throughout the whole process. They went through everything very thoroughly with me before the surgery and kept me updated while Wyatt was in surgery. I could not have had a better experience. I highly

My Blue Heeler Rambo was born with an underbite, I was quoted for the necessary procedure but was unable to follow through due to my finances. After about 6 months I noticed his bottom K9s were starting to damage his upper pallet, I returned to Dr. Faber and explained my circumstance and she was very understanding and cooperative. she was able to re-quote me for the original procedure at a price I could afford, as well as donating some of her services once it was found he needed more work than the original procedure. Dr. Faber Provided Rambo, as well as performed the operation, with the highest

My dog likely experienced some sort of trauma is his early puphood and as a result his teeth, from what I understand, have been slowly deteriorating. As a result, my vet referred me to Dr. Fabre at AVD. Canine dentistry sounds expensive and it very much is. However, AVD took the time to explain everything in detail, both when I was dropping my dog off for his dental work and again when I was picking him up. They even included before and after pictures of this teeth!
It's very expensive, yes. But if you love your dog like I love my dog and you're put into a position where, of course you're going
