- Dr. Charles Watson founded Alpine Animal Hospital in 1971.Many long-time Issaquah residents still remember the alpine hut architecture of the original building, along with the chickens living in the front.
- Changes involvingthe widening of Sammamish Road and the development of Pickering Place altered the course of Issaquah Creek and necessitated the demolition of the old building and construction of the building we are in today. In 1997, we added 24-hour emergency care to our day practice, and in 2005 we joined the VCA family of hospitals.

Dr. Van, Ashley, and the front desk staff were very caring and supportive. Dr. Van and Ashley were trying everything and hopefully we have made some progress trying different meds and food. Thank you, seems so simple because Lily is happy and finally bonded to us. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart and Lily's feline heart!
- Thank youI am not a client at Alpine, but recently I had to bring my puppy to their emergency. They did everything they could and had him for 24 hours until he was able to come home. I just wanted to say thank you to all the staff for everything they did to get my little guy back to his old crazy self. Without the staff I don't believe my puppy would be waiting for me to come home every day. My puppy is like my child, and never during our visit did I feel likewise.Thank you again for all your hard work! Samantha, Steve and Gucio.
