I'll try to keep it short but,its a good story so may not be able to. On Friday my boy Optimus and I was near Moab at the base of the La SaL mountains, when the worst thing could have happened to him and me. I was running Optimus down a long stretch of dirt road when I looked away and looked back I ran him over with my truck. I got him with front and back wheel because I couldn't stop in time because it was a steep grade. I got out and ran to him and he was trying to get up and he couldn't so i picked him up and got him into truck and the race was on to get him home! I noticed he was breathing good and no bleeding coming out of his mouth so I decided to not stop any Moab for a vet. I called my vet about 3:30 and told them what happened and can you see him. They said if I can make it by 5:00 they could but, vet had to leave because she had to be someone where and not able to return, wrong answer! I wanted to hear! So now in panic mode I tried calling Emergency Animal Hospital on north ave, turns out they don't open till 6:00 PM. Now I'm in a real panic and just started googling and trying to reach friends and see who the use for a vet, I got lucky and my friend Patrick Jones called me back and said get to Arrowhead they will help your dog. By then I was about 10 miles outside of Moab and it was 3:45 so I called them and they are open till 5:30 I told them the situation and they said get here when you can we will wait for you. So i drove between 90-100 MPH to make it there at 5:15 I don't recommend driving like that! Lol! Got my boy into X-Ray and it was better news than expected, he had a complete hip dislocation and some trauma to other leg. Dr. Mike got his leg back in and rapped him up to keep it in the socket. This is the best part of the Arrowhead experience, Dr. Mike told me Optimus would have to stay the night alone because no one would be here and that I could go with that or load him up and take him to Emergency Animal Hospital for over night care. He told me someone be in at 6:00 AM and I would here that he made it through the night. I couldn't wait so I called them and got the great news that he made it and was doing well and his socket stayed in place. Dr. Mikes Technician told me that he came back at 9:00 PM to check on him because he was worried about him which, was awesome to hear. And better yet the Tech i was speaking with said she stayed with Optimus until 5:00 Am. Dr. Mike and his Technicians went above and beyond to make sure my boy was going to make it! This speaks volumes about this place and I highly recommend them to everyone! Far as i'm concerned Dr. Mike and staff are Optimus's new veterinary! Thank you Arrowhead, Cavin Christian read more

My mother takes her rabbits to Dr. Bingham and has always received amazing service caring and compassion! I first took my boys there when I had found one not using his back legs and rushed him over to the vet I had at the time and was quoted $3,000 for a surgery that could fail in 2 years! I called Arrowhead and they got me right in and Dr. Mike is an amazing man and very honest! He offered me 2 different options for the surgery at less than half the price of the other vet! And he is still doing well! When my boy Taser became very sick over the weekend they called me first thing Monday morning and asked me to drop Taser off so they could evaluate him in between other appointments. I have no qualms about leaving my pets with this very Caring, compassionate and competent staff! Dr. Mike contacted me with in the hour after dropping Taser off and advised me of what was happening and when I got there to pick up Taser Dr. Mike's tone and love for my baby help soften the blow that I was going to loose him soon. In the following weeks the staff was always there to answer any of my questions as was Dr. Mike and when it came time to let my baby go they gave me options and then sent me a card consoling me for the loss of my baby Taser. I will forever be grateful and bring my dogs to Arrowhead for the simple reason that they make you feel like part of their family and the environment is warm and inviting! Thank you to the staff and Dr. Mike for helping me through that extremely hard time! I will be forever grateful read more

Took my puppy in for the first check up. They were nice` at first. Kind of yelled at me when my 12 week old puppy walked in on a leash. Snippd at me that puppies always need to be carried in, to insure that they don't pick up something on the floor. HMMM! that would have been nice to mention on the phone when I made the appointment since I was a new client. I did not wait long, and was ushered into a room where a nurse asked me a few question and then the doctor came in shortly after. Within the first 3 minutes of the exam, he asked me a few questions and then what I feed my puppy. I told him she was on a RAW diet. The exam questions quickly stopped and he said, she looks good and walked out. He was in the room for approximately 5-6 minutes and I was pretty much given the cold shoulder after that. I have never been to a vet with such horrible customer service. I am not sorry that you can not sell me on the latest food trend that your reps are trying to get you to sell. They came highly recommended, but I would not send anyone there that actually wanted to have a conversation with a vet. Thumbs down. read more

I have never left a review but have felt compelled to -- given that I have been blessed many times by Dr. Bingham. He once again saved my dogs life with emergency surgery and two days of 24 hr care. He should not be alive but by the strength of God -- the will to live --and Dr. Bingham he made it. This isn't the first time -- Prior to Dr. Bingham saving his life he became my vet by the story below. I have had animals consistently my whole life. Experiencing many many vet places --Arrowhead is way above any and all. When trying to figure out what was wrong with my dog and not satisfied with the diagnosis from my vet -- I reached out to Dr. Bingham, he had my dog in that morning by early afternoon I was given the real truth of what was wrong with my dog -- not age not having a virus-- but his chest being so dense w cancer he couldn't even see his heart. As Dr. Bingham predicted he passed 10 days later. To know the unknown and having someone give time to really discover what's wrong is priceless. If you want honest and factual answers go to Arrow Head read more

We don't have human kids -- but we have always had a lot of dogs and wouldn't DREAM of going anywhere else. I have called Dr. Mike "my vet" for more than 15 years even though he's actually my babies' doctor -- from our sweet Westie and Cairn Terriers and an American Eskimo -- all whom lived long, healthy, happy lives to our current three German Shepherds and a Heinz 57 mutt. We have used them for their vet services -- from vaccinations and teeth cleaning, to serious ER issues like a blood transfusion and surgery. Dr. Mike and the staff have always been awesome with our "kids". I can get in very quickly for acute issues and Dr. Mike is extremely prompt in returning our calls (day and night) and is very helpful. We have referred some friends who moved here from out-of-town and they felt the same. Great place and great people! I only wish my human doctor was as caring and brilliant as Dr. Mike! read more

We moved to Fruita October 2017. Finding Arrowhead veterinary was as important as finding our doctors. Our 9 year old Golden is very special to us. Dr. Mike made us feel very at ease the first time we saw him. Jessie ended up with a very unique diagnosis and thanks to Dr.Mike she is better with her medication. Another situation we just went through was surgery. His accurate diagnosis helped us decide to follow through with the repair of her torn ACL. Not only did he perform the surgery his knowledge of the repair was outstanding. I can't say enough about the exceptional care Jessie is receiving. The staff is another reason we choose this practice. They are kind, efficient and most caring. We are blessed to have this awesome place to bring our special four legged child. Thank you. J & J Hawkins Very happy pet owners read more

Purchased a puppy that had had a procedure done at Arrowhead prior to. I noticed it was not done correctly. I contacted them and they said bring him in and we will fix it. It was like dropping off dry cleaning. I almost did not leave. I called to check on him a few hours later and was told, oh he was ready awhile ago, we must have forgotten to call you...Brought him home and no follow up by Arrowhead. No phone calls to see if puppy was doing okay. They are all business and could care less about pets. We were to come back in 2 weeks to get stitches removed. No phone call, nothing. I had them removed from a fellow vet tech instead. I will never go back and never recommend them. Bad customer service. read more

We've used Arrowhead since we moved to Colorado, and they've never been anything but professional, accommodating and genuinely helpful. Dr Mike takes his time with our dog each time we bring her in, and has, on more than one occasion, caught things that could've become issues in time. We take all our animals to Arrowhead now, because Dr. Mike once stayed late on a Saturday to help us with an emergency with another of our pets. He fixed the issue, which was actually life-threatening, even though at the time he was not that pet's normal vet. I've not had the pleasure to work with Dr Bingham yet, but I have friends who swear by him as well. Arrowhead is easily our go-to vet in the Valley. read more

Dr Bingham and Dr Mike are two of the best vets in the valley. They are both very compassionate about all animals and people. We have been clients of Dr Mike and his wife Dr Allyson for 16 years with our horses, and Dr Bingham with our dogs when he was at his other clinic for 7 years, and now here at Arrowhead Vet Hospital for 5 years. They have state of the art equipment, great staff, and a down home feel. They never do unnecessary procedures to your animals just to make money, and I have been to a vets that do just that. You won't go wrong bringing your animals large and small, and exotic to them. read more

I have used Paul Bingham for 20 years; he is an excellent ferret specialist, as well as all exotics and small animals. He even opened up after hours to see us, and did not charge for that checkup. I took our Golden Retriever to his partner, Mike, when Paul was not available. Mike was extremely thorough and caring. Nothing but professionalism and kindness with this group. I have always had excellent customer service; you even get a discount if you travel over a certain distance. They are still my main vets even though I live 80 miles away. The drive is worth it! read more

I live in Denver and have been bringing all of my animals (dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters) to Arrowhead for many years now. The 4 hour drive is worth the case that Arrowhead Veterinary Hospital gives. Dr. Mike Etchart couldn't be more professional, compassionate or caring. This clinic is clean and the staff is amazing. Our pets have always received the highest care, and the most educated diagnosis. Arrowhead Veterinary Hospital has always out performed and out done itself for all of our family animals. I would HIGLY recommend them to anyone. Kim N. read more

We had been using another vet in town for years but they had a change of ownership and we were not happy with the new Docs. We asked around and multiple people suggested Arrowhead. We ended up taking one of our older dogs that was very sick to Arrowhead and were thrilled with how we were treated, how they treated our dog, their understanding of the blood work that had been done, the practice approach they took and course of treatment. We have since taken our other two dogs and have been very pleased wit the staff and doctors each time. read more

We have been taking our pets to Paul Bingham since 1996. He cared for our collie Wyote, our basenjis: Naje, Hacuna, Chi Chi plus basenji puppies. Then he cared for our Corgie Duncan. Now he is our Collie, Stanley's Vet and our Cat Simone's caregiver. With every one of our sweet companions we knew Paul would always give us and them the best, most thoughtful care. We have lived other places and have known a lot of good vets, but Paul Bingham is the absolute best! Rhea and Doug Monroe Whitewater Colorado read more

Hello, Today I called just to ask a few questions, what I received was GREAT customer service, amazing professionalism, and understanding. Tabitha was an amazing person to talk with over the phone she was kind and understanding. She was quick to get any and all information that I needed to make my decisions. If Tabitha is just the tip of the iceberg as far as customer service goes, then Arrowhead will be an amazing place to take our animals. Thank you Tabitha! read more

I have been bringing my furkids to Dr Bingham for as long as he's been in Fruita. The dedication, expertise and compassion, in my opinion, are unmatched in the valley. I always recommend the medical and support staff here. I do not live nearby but will not go elsewhere. Dr Bingham is a straight shooter. You will hear the truth from him after he assesses the situation. Then it's up to you. I love this place. read more

Such kind, compassionate doctors and staff members. Dr. Mike and staff saved our sweet Biz, a big fluffy 13 year old Newfie-chow-border collie. We are so thankful for your tenderness not just with our animals, but with us. She is doing very well after her spleenectomy two nights ago. Thank you for always truly caring for the pets you see in your offices. Bless all of you! Gordon and Karen (and Bizkit) read more

Since moving to Grand Junction in 2003 we have gone to Dr Paul Bingham. He has always been perfessional and honest as to the condition of our pets.

Would recommend them without hesitation. read more
