I had a very good experience with the staff and doctors. They were able to quickly identify valley fever in my dog and get her started on immediate treatment. They were helpful, informative, and followed up with me on how treatments were going. Thank you for a great experience and helping my sick pup.

This facility has literally saved my dogs life twice. I can't put into words how lucky I was to find them. With so many practices with price gouging terrible reviews, I feel like I hit the Grand Prize jackpot. I drive 45min one way to bring my dog to Desert Hills Animal Clinic, without a second thought! Don't waste time searching you have stumbled onto the best Doctors for you pet.

Dr. Bryan Neidigh performed a bilateral FHO on my cat, Onyx, due to severe hip dysplasia. Recovery was rough, but it has now been about 4 months and he runs around and plays like no surgery ever happened. He can even jump on my lap again. He has zero pain whatsoever and he has been given a much higher quality of life. Just wanted to give an update and say thank you to Dr. Bryan Neidigh and staff -- from Onyx and me!

I can't say enough about this place and the staff
Our sweet dog was suddenly sick, they got her in right away, the tests were relatively reasonable and the staff were So Caring!! They called to check on her later that day then got us in when we needed to put her down, due to lung cancer confirmation. They were gentle, patient patient so sensitive to our pain.

I have brought my dog and my family's dogs here and they saw Dr. Fitzpatrick, the assistant is always so good with them and the Dr. is as well. I recommend them to everyone nearby because I can tell they truly care about the puppies and do an incredible job at keeping everyone calm.

Dr. Neidigh has always been amazing to my dogs. They tell you the price way in advance before you agree to anything. Very honest and very loyal. My two boxers are my world and I will never send them to anyone else other than Dr. Neidigh.

Hi, I don't usually post reviews, but I recently had a very bad experience with one of the vets there. It was so bad that I filed a complaint with the Vet board and I won the complaint because this Vet lied to the board.

My cat has a heart condition along with fluid in his lungs and the vet said he suggested Xrays and I turned them down, but the truth is he never suggested Xrays; in fact, I had a phone conversation with him a couple weeks after I took my pet into the Emergency Vet and he told me over the phone "I guess I should have suggested Xrays".

I was already to lose to a

I've used this clinic for many years and with several different animals. They have done great in the past, and not so great in recent years. When I first started with Dr. Gold, it seemed like they were genuinely interested in helping without regard to padding their bills. As the years went on, it seemed that collecting money was the main objective over delivering exceptional care.

We had a cat that was very ill. They pushed me to do dental work on him and I reluctantly agreed (a bad call on my part that I will never forgive myself for...no seriously ill animal should ever be subjected to

The office staff are not friendly and customer service oriented along with the office not being clean. Dr. Fitzpatrick is far from a great doctor. I brought my dog in because of an infection which they packed my dogs ears and prescribed medication. Over the course of a month I had brought my dog in for check ups and because of their lack of care and knowledge, my dog is still sick and every time I went I was charged. It's nothing but a rip off, they don't care about animals, only the $$$. They over charge and provide a poor service that they should be called out on and ultimately closed

I Took my old cat in the be euthanized, he had been having seizures, the staff put me in a room, and said the Doctor will be in "shortly" We wanted for over 15 minutes.... My cat started seizing again and I yanked opened the door and said, "Come put him down now!!" I was hysterical. The staff then burst in grabbed him and took him into the back room and administered the drug. If they would have seen him at his appointed time, it would not have to have been so tramatic for me.

We have gone here for 20+ years wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else. Friendly staff, I am conservative regarding the health and wellness of my dogs. I do not desire a high vet Bill and lots of expensive test. They will move at your pace. Love, love, love. Wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else.

My dog has valley fever and after moving to the area a year ago my neighbor referred me to desert hills animal clinic for my dog. The testing that I have to get done a few times a year is about $100 less than at the last veterinarian I went to. The staff here are all great and very accommodating to all of our dogs needs.

Dr. Neidigh and his staff are nothing less than amazing. I took my english bulldog here during her pregnancy and ultimately, for her c-section. It was my first time visiting this clinic (I was recommended to this vet from another bulldog owner), and although it is not close to my house, I still plan to continue going here for ALL of my pets because they were that great! The staff makes you feel so welcome, they even offered to board my bully for an entire day while I was at work because I was so freaked out about her going into labor when I wasn't home. They made her a nice comfy bed and

I live right around the corner and have used these guys for years. I've always thought the price was kinda high but put up with it for the convenience. Last year we had one of our dogs that needed a tooth removed and also had his teeth cleaned. Over $300 later! Today we have another older dog that has a broken tooth. Now the cost is quoted at over $600! I can go to my dentist and have a tooth removed AND a full cleaning for less money! I can also have my large animal vet come to my house and do the teeth on 2 horses cheaper than I can take 1 dog to them?

I believe in paying a reasonable

Today was the last straw. We needed a prescription refilled and it took 4 phone calls after they said it had been faxed- it hadn't. We have been thinking of moving - ever since Dr Gold left. Only reason we had not switched is our dog is elderly so thought it better to stay. I am not confident in services provided anymore so a move is worth the hassle.

Hands down this is the best veterinarian office in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area . All the doctors are great and the staff is wonderful. They treat my babies with love and care. Dr Gold always provides the best care possible, along with great advice and his love for animals really shows.
That means everything to me. The prices are very reasonable and also this is the only vet that's not trying to rush me out . I have referred family and friends to Desert Hills Animal Clinic and will continue to do so.
