    Our pup
    KATHLEEN K.

    We brought my dog in three weeks ago to urgent care. We saw Dr Meredith and we feel that she did an excellent job of examining her and finding her pain. We were very happy with the front desk and also with our call, being able to let them know we were on our way so they were expecting us. I love that we were put straight into a room because my dog isn't good with other dogs. It was such a nice exam room with two nice chairs and a window. The medical assistant was great as well. Very kind and professional.

    Maybe some better options if you don't want to get screwed‍

    Horribly overpriced and didn't resolve ANYTHING! They wouldn't even see my cat until they checked credit limit on account, sent me home with 7 pills totaling over $32 and when I asked them to approve a Chewy order to get pills at a reduced price, they wouldn't approve order. Chewy charges $8 for 90 100 mg capsules of Gabapentin and they charged me about $25 for 4 capsules. They just called to let me know that they would decline order as they don't get any money if it's ordered from Chewy. They are clearly just in it for profit. I spent almost $800 there yesterday for a few tests. I'm absolutely disgusted with this place!!!!!

    Don't wanna be here.

    Unfortunately I recently had to send my Basset off to the big playground in the sky. She had a ruptured gallbladder which led to pancreatitis. They ran the tests and assured me there was no way we could have seen this coming or done anything to prevent it, which was something we needed to know so we didn't spend the rest of our lives wondering if there was something more we could have done. The tests weren't cheap, but they were well worth the money for the peace of mind they provided. Normally we have a service come to our house for this, so our loved ones can pass away peacefully in familiar surroundings, but she was in such pain that this wasn't an option. Our biggest concern was that she would be put to sleep on a sterile metal table surrounded by terrifying strangers, but they have a special room set aside in their office, which is away from other animals barking and which provides a calming experience for both the animals and owners. They were very sympathetic and professional about it. It broke our hearts having to let her go, but but at least she found some peace and wasn't additionally traumatized by the experience.

    Our doggy went in and all the staff was very helpful. The place had no wait at all and was very clean and organized and the vet technician was honest with us and didn't seem like they were trying to give us any services our little one didn't need. Really happy we went here will definitely come again.

    Rocky was our female friend and companion... and will be missed.

    Our 18 year old Cat Rocky had to be euthanized, and this staff went out of their way to be kind and caring thru-out the process, even though it was 8pm at night. Our normal Vet closed at Noon that day. We even received a staff-signed sympathy card from 1st Pet a few days later. We were touched by the total experience. Thank you to all of the staff there! You have earned our Business for our remaining cats. It will be a huge relief going forward knowing that 24-hour care is available at our time of need.

    Winston

    If we could give 1st Pet Vet - Mesa and Chandler 10 stars we would! Five years ago our beloved flat coated retriever, Winston tore both his ACL's and meniscus. He had to have double TPLO surgery and we chose Dr. Dan Guastella. Dr. G did an awesome job and got our boy fixed up. After Winston recuperated for a bit, my husband and I thought it would be a good idea to start him on PT rehabilitation. Our Winston enjoyed going weekly for his underwater treadmill and laser treatments. He absolutely knew when his rehab day was. He would be prancing around the house excited, we could just about hear him say, are we leaving yet?!?! The rehab team at Mesa is AWESOME. He loved them all so much. Kayla, Krista, Trinity, Tat and Melissa all worked with him. You could tell how much they loved him, too. This past Friday our world was shattered when we discovered our boy had cancer all over his poor little body. The amount of grief this has caused us is unbearable. You see, we tried to grow our family and after many failed attempts, we decided to be ok with being dog parents. Our boy was with us as we went through that long and heartbreaking journey and he comforted me many nights when I was depressed. We had been going in and out of 1st Pet this last month to see what was going on with him and every time, Krista would come out to see him and take him back to say hi to the rest of the rehab team. She even said he felt like he was hers. There is nothing more than amazing praises to her and the rehab team and Dr. Heather Lindgren. While our hearts are completely broken, we're so grateful 1st Pet was part of our family for all these years. Thank you for the beautiful flower arrangement. We are forever thankful to you all.

    Scarlett  -2 weeks post op...   This was her experience from day one, just smiles and no discomfort.

    See all

On…read moreDecember 30th we took him to the vet and were told that he most likely had a foreign body, and that he would need emergency care. We took him straight to EVE where we got our boy the care he needed from such a kind and caring staff. They checked him out and confirmed he would need surgery to remove a foreign body that was lodged in his intestines. I was so scared, but the nurses answered any questions I had and assured me he was in good hands. Leaving him there over might was really hard, but the night staff seemed to already have fallen in love with him so I knew he'd be cared for. I got multiple calls and texts over the next 24 hours with updates on hus surgery and recovery. He was even doing well enough after to be able to go home a couple hours early, and they even gave him some extra medication to help keep him calm since he's a very skiddish kitty and that night was New Years Eve and I was concerned about him hurting himself. We were given very good instructions on his aftercare, and there were no issues with his recovery. He is now fully recovered and back to his healthy, happy, playful self. Eve saved my kittens life. As far as pricing goes, they have lots of options that you can choose from as far as payment plans to help us pay for the surgery that was incredibly expensive for us. Plus, we were very happy because when we came back the next day to pick him up, they went over pricing with us again, and told us that the surgery would actually cost about $1000 less than we were quoted the night before so that lifted some weight off of our chests.

It is very easy to find and in a nice location. There is a separate parking lot for this ER, so you can park very close to the entrance and get your pet in quickly. The building itself is very clean and calm. There were about 6 other dogs there in the waiting but the waiting room is divided in such a way the dogs can still have privacy while waiting. Almost like little cubicles. I only waited about 20 minutes to be taken back. The vets are knowledgeable and very friendly. Our vet explained everything in detail and her nurse made our dog feel at ease. We were very happy with the service itself. Lastly, they are upfront about all costs. They don't force you into anything and give you a full breakdown of each cost. You can request notes if you need them for insurance purposes. If ever an emergency, we will definitely come back here.

We were treated with such care - as this was such an unexpected situation. They didn't make the service about money at all - and everything was VERY reasonable. The staff was absolutely amazing. Immediately brought us in to check on our cat and broke everything down. While this wasn't what we were hoping for, they made it easier to digest. We received a card in the mail today from all of the workers and they personally signed us a card. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else with how abrupt our situation was - and I can't thank them enough for helping us during one of the most challenging times in our lives. We drove to this location for the reviews online and I'm glad we listened. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

They are careless and endanger pets or worse kill them like they did Sirena 3-3-26. Also Stephany the manager helps to cover it up and will belittle you. Read the reviews I'm not the only one who has had this experience. A man had to bury his best friend in one. A woman almost lost her kitty in another, took them to court and a judge ruled the vet was not fit for practice suspended license for a year. Read the reviews. Almost a quarter of them are the same thing. Sirena's life was taken because they failed to run appropriate tests including xray to determine and diagnose. They lead to her getting worse not better and then administered incorrect dosage for sedation and pain management leading to death. They failed to properly supervise her under anesthesia. They failed to inform me of any risks, alternatives, or the prognosis of the treatment. They lied on the report several times falsifying what happened so they could be unaccountable. This place did not care about the consequences of taking a life nor what it does to a family after the fact. Sirena was a victim and this will happen again unless you don't give them the chance. My Sirena was with me everyday for 4 years and trusted me to take care of her and I let her down going to this place. She deserved better! It breaks my heart reliving being at Gilbert Queen Creek emergency veterinarian and specialist center. I know Sirena would be alive today if I had gone elsewhere. Crystal the hospital director called 5/1/26 offering 300$ "on the books" saying they could have done better. I will never go back to Gilbert queen creek emergency veterinarian. I was shocked she would even insinuate that I would. The grief of losing Sirena and having conversations with these people mentally and physically takes a toll on me. If Sirena was given critical care, the right care from the right specialist, she would be alive today.
