Veterinarians in Fountain Hills, AZ

“We are in Arizona for a few months in the winter. My dog got very sick and they took me in and showed tremendous care, seeing him through a severe illness or poisoning. I can't say enough positive about the doctors and staff!”

“I just saw Dr. Mattick for my baby boy, Tigger. I was concerned for my kitty because he has been acting strange, lethargic, and has been hiding (very unlike this outgoing boy's typical orange cat behavior.) I can't say enough good things about this place. I had just taken him to a VCA a few days ago thinking this was an emergency matter, and $700 later all they did was take a thoracic x-ray and tell me they weren't qualified to properly read it. They stated he "might have asthma, but we don't know." They then proceeded to tell me I'd have to pay an extra $250 just to get someone qualified to read it. *sigh* NOT HERE! I had the sent the imaging from the VCA over to El Dorado and Dr. Mattick was instantly able to get a read on things. He was so incredibly kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. He answered my million questions with extreme patience and was transparent about what was actually necessary and what wasn't. Their prices are honestly so reasonable, especially for the exceptional care they give. We proceeded with bloodwork, as I decided to take a precautionary step to make sure my baby was okay. I can't thank El Dorado and Dr. Mattick enough for putting my mind at ease and for taking excellent care of Tigger! This is definitely my new place of choice for my two kitties and I will certainly be returning to Dr. Mattick, although I bet everyone here is incredible! THANK YOU A MILLION!”

“We drive 40 minutes to take our corgi to see Dr Jutten at Palisades, and we love everyone there! After Dr J moved from our area, our corgi would flip out when we took him to the new vet, AZ Animal Hispital, to get a nail trim. Az Animal Hospital always took Kylo in the back to examine him, trim his nails, or even this most basic thing. Dr Jutten never did that and even during COVID lockdown, the cave creek vet always allowed one of us to go back with our corgi. After we noticed how forcibly Kylo freaked out when we drove near AZ Animal Hospital, we decided to make the trek to Fountain Hills to reunite with Dr. Jutten. Now, Kylo is not afraid at the vet, and they don't seem to need to "take them in the back room" to examine him. HMMMM. Why would a vet or a vet tech be unable to examine him or trim his nails or clean his ears in our presence???? I will never, ever take Kylo to AZ Animal Hospital again! It's worth the 40-minute drive each way to know Kylo is getting the best care. He walks right in wthout freaking and hiding under my legs, he allows them to touch him, clean his ears, cut his nails, axamine him, etc without crying and he feels safe bc he's not taken into the back and tied to a post with a muzzle over his nose so they can act without us watching. AAH never even offered us the option to have him examined and/or treated in the EXAM ROOM. That shoud've been our first clue; the high employee turnove rat AAH shouldve been our second clue. We found our vet for life at Palisades, and those folks at AAH who terrified my baby know why they have such high employee turnover. People who love animals won't stay long in a place that mistreats animals, especially sick ones. Palisades always has the same staff every time we go...including the front office staff. Hmmmm! We LOVE Palisades :)”

“Our dog came down with a horrible hot spot and bad ear infection caused by allergies while we were visiting this area. They were able to get us in the same day that I called and Dr. Hessian and her tech were extremely helpful. We received meds to get her better and will follow up later in the week. Thank you for your prompt service and help for our dog.”
