    Why have one check up when you can have six
    Megan H.

    Dr. Bracken and his staff is the best veterinarian I have ever used. Dr. Bracken is so caring and passionate about his patients (animals) that I wouldn't trust anyone else. He has helped us through the great times and the tough times and if it was only possible id let him take care of me as well. I would recommend Dr. Bracken to anyone looking for a new vet or that's new to the area.

    Dr. Bracken is one of the most amazing people I have had the pleasure to know. I have been going to the same vet since I gained the ability to form a memory and they were in a different location and the Vet was Dr. Copher (spelling I'm most likely butchering). When he left to retire my family and I were heart broken- but we knew whoever he would chose as his successor would have to be someone pretty greatz- competent and caring. I am so grateful for all the nurses and techs and everyone who works there- my dog is my world. I accompanied a friend with their dog to another vet once and was just horrified at the experience we had. Arcadia Animal Clinic is nothing like that and I am so grateful to be able to trust that I am getting the absolute best care for my most precious baby boy, my very best friend who I would do anything in this world for.

    My dog, Hollywood, after Dr. Bracken denying to call in a refill for his seizure medication.
    Kristen B.

    It has taken me a year to write this review because reliving the heartache of losing my best friend and dog, Hollywood, due to Arcadia Animal Clinic's actions, haunts me daily. Hollywood was a patient there for 12 years. Two years ago, he began having seizures and required emergency veterinary care. Thankfully, he recovered after a severe episode--it was a miracle he survived. He was prescribed Keppra (seizure medication), which he needed long-term. After nearly a year seizure-free, Dr. Bracken refused to refill his prescription due to an $800 outstanding bill, despite my explanation of financial hardship following the $3,500 emergency vet visit. They falsely claimed that he would have to have a blood test taken and demanded payment before doing so and before refilling, knowing that abruptly stopping Keppra could trigger seizures. On the second day of not having access to his seizure medication, Hollywood suffered another severe seizure episode, requiring three days of emergency care and over $6,000 in vet bills. I had to create a GoFundMe to help cover the expenses to keep my baby alive. He was stable enough to come home, but he lost his mobility and strength completely, and a month later, he passed away in my arms, unable to recover from the seizures caused by the lack of his medication. Dr. Bracken's refusal to refill his prescription over $800, despite my prior payment history and financial difficulties, is unconscionable. He falsely claimed a mandatory annual blood test requirement, which was untrue; Hollywood had been in for a visit 5 months prior and had a blood test then. It was as simple as Dr. Bracken calling in the prescription to Safeway Pharmacy, yet he decided that the $800 I owed was far more important than ensuring Hollywood remained seizure-free. I grieve for Hollywood every day. I urge others to avoid Arcadia Animal Clinic, as they prioritize money over animal welfare. Their negligence contributed to Hollywood's death. Their subsequent letter dismissing us as patients, after our threat to report them, was an insult. I will never forgive them and will curse their name till the day I die. My dog was my everything, and he deserved so much better.

    Amazing vet! Couldn't ask for a better vet than Dr. Bracken. Not only do we love this place but our dog Maggie does as well!

    Awhile back I saw a special item on the menu of local restaurant hotspot Chelsea's Kitchen. It was a Bracken Burger. When we asked, the manager on duty confirmed it was indeed named after the neighborhood veterinarian. When neighborhood restaurants start naming menu items after you, you know you've left your mark on your community. Such is the case with Dr. Bill Bracken and his more than 3 decades of animal veterinary work at his humble neighborhood practice. My family has used Dr. Bracken for his expertise since I was a toddler. From Scottish Terriers, to Labradors, to various mixed breeds, and even a couple of felines, Dr. Bracken has been my family's go to veterinarian for all my family's pets. His practice is a little hard to find as its embedded in a residential neighborhood. Go one block north and west of 40th Street and Campbell and you'll come upon a building that has been largely unchanged for more than 30 years. Many of his staff members have been with him almost from the beginning. Treatments and technology have evolved of course, but Dr. Bracken's personal touch, abundant sense of humor and straight forward approach to animal care have remained the same throughout. Just as an aside, please don't use Dr. Bracken's parking lot if you're coming to dine at one of the neighborhood restaurants. Dr. Bracken loves and makes use of all the neighborhood restaurants and understands there isn't much room for parking in the area, but asks that you please only use his parking lot if you're coming to his office for an appointment. In addition to having his clinic, Dr. Bracken's office can also make arrangements to board your pets if needed. And if the job of fixing what ails your pet requires a specialist or surgeon, Dr. Bracken can refer you to a network of specialists in the valley (many of them have been around as long as he has). Dr. Bracken truly is a pillar of the Arcadia neighborhood. He grew up here, raised his own family here, and has never moved or expanded his practice beyond this little corner. And his clientele are just as resolutely loyal as man's best friend.

Their website provided all information necessary for making an informed decision for at-home euthanasia, including clear pricing options. Booking was easy, I filled out their online form and within about 15-minutes, I received a text offering additional assistance and the opportunity to book the service for my dog. They do take Care Credit which was a great help. Although I cancelled my first appointment due to my uncertainty that it was indeed time, I was able to reschedule also through text. The doctor, Dr. Frost, gave me a call when she was on her way and was very compassion both over the phone as well as upon arrival and throughout the process. While having my 15 year old dog euthanized was a tough and heartbreaking decision to make, I felt comfort knowing that not only was my dog going through this process in the comfort of his own home, but also by a team who truly cared. I would highly recommend Angel Veterinary Services to others making the same difficult decision, especially for the comfort provided throughout the process.

We had a virtual urgent care call and they were concerned enough that we brought him into The Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic to check in on him. After an ultrasound, they found that he had a mass on his spleen and was internally bleeding, and had to go into immediate overnight emergency surgery. The surgery was successful, and after a 36 hour hospital stay, Barkley is back home and on the mend. While this was such a scary experience and few days, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about The Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic and their team. They are open 24/7/365, and provided around the clock care. Because of the length of his stay, we worked with and spoke to multiple of their veterinarians and assistants (thank you to Dr. Ferguson, Dr. Fleming, Dr. Goldberg, and Dr. Blackmon), and everyone was so kind, attentive, and caring through every step of the process, gave us calls throughout the night with updates and over the past few days to check in on Barkley's progress, and were so compassionate in all of the care they provided. Barkley was in such great hands. Thank you to the The Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic team!

They gave us a whole cart of treats to give to him and the doctor and staff was so kind and compassionate.

They let us make informed decisions for our pets without pushing unnecessary treatments or upsells. One of the biggest things that keeps us coming back is the fair pricing. For example, another vet near us quoted $80 more per injection for the exact same Cytopoint treatment. That kind of price difference makes the drive to Moon Valley more than worth it. They're also incredibly responsive--whether it's getting back to me with answers or fitting us in for an appointment. We've almost always been able to get a same-day visit or one within just a few days, which is such a relief when you're worried about your pet.

My dog is geriatric, medically complex, previously abused and used to hate but is now just pretty avoidant of most men. Within the first couple of visits my dog leaned on Dr. Toben's legs while my dog was feeling weak....I was absolutely floored. Dr. Toben has gone out of his way to help my dog, last minute, over the phone, with appointments, and has been just so insightful and helpful in a way so many other vets cannot do. Most primary care vets get super overwhelmed w/ my dog's health problems, as a lot of my dog's health issues have unknown causes. I went to see many primary care docs in the valley who I really could not trust w/ my dog, or tolerate myself (over 5). Dr. Toben has never even once snapped at me or my dog, gotten overwhelmed (in a way that was even remotely perceivable anyway), has never tried to nickle & dime me, and most importantly, has never given up on my dog. I just cannot place a value on Chuck's honest approach to animal care and kindness towards my dog and me. Chuck will keep trying, trying different things, is always open to suggestions, knows when to sort of make firmer recommendations and take control and when to give space for feedback. He's crazy smart, he knows about so many of my dog's issues in a way that usually only internal med docs seem to be able to discuss, and he is consistently genuinely compassionate and humane. Dr. Toben is just basically a freaking giant brained angel. My only regret is that I'm not loaded so I can't make a massive donation to this clinic. This is exactly what I think all vets should be like, I of course have been really very picky and have a dog w/ a very difficult medical status, and I definitely 1,000% recommend him. Chuck is the first doc I've strongly recommended, by the way, after seeing 2 primaries in MO, 5 specialists in MO, 2 docs in Mexico, 3 internal med docs in AZ, and more than 5 primary care vets in AZ....again, my dog is a very difficult medical case, and Dr. Toben is absolutely the doc for the hardest cases....and thank God that there are vets out there like Chuck who are so good for our poor beloved pets who were previously abused b/c these animals are so sorely in need of kindness and quality care. I'm eternally grateful for this clinic and Dr. Toben.
