My wife and Milo were out on their normal morning walk, with Milo safely on his leash, when they were suddenly attacked by four dogs. It was a frightening, emotional, and very long day for our family, but every staff member treated us with kindness, patience, and compassion. They were thorough, caring, and helped us feel that Milo was truly in good hands during one of the worst experiences we have ever gone through. A special thank-you to the doctor and everyone who cared for him we will never forget how you treated our family. To our fellow neighbors, please remember that being a responsible pet owner protects everyone. Please triple-check your gates, fences, doors, and leashes. It only takes a few seconds for something terrible to happen, and the emotional and physical damage can last much longer. Please keep your furry family members secure so another family never has to experience what we did.

Wow what a disorganized, unprofessional place. I was looking forward to taking my beloved dog…read moreSawyer to a new team of veterinarians that have their office like 3 minutes from my home. The original Vet Dr. Hatch used to occupy and own this property before he retired. Anyway since our last Vet retired from seeing patients to work solely in emergency care we needed to find someone new. I give a 2 star rating since the gal at the front desk and the assistant were both lovely girls and know how to treat customers. Sawyers ears were very dirty so the doctor wanted to take a look but alas the other doctor was gone and took the tool with her and asked if I would consider leaving my dog there for 2 hours to waits for the other doctor to reappear. Ummm that would be a hard No. I was surprised that they even asked me that. I don't know any of you! Seriously?!? The reason for todays visit was my dog had a red rash in his nether regions and I was beginning to worry since I first noticed it 2 days ago. My appointment was at 2:30 and that is when I arrived. Like I mentioned the first assistant asked a bunch of questions about Sawyer most of which would have been on the sheet I brought with me all about his last treatment, shots, ect. She mentioned she might want to do $250.00 worth of blood work, um that's a hard no. The initial visit was $75 and then another $50 for I don't know why... The doctor said she had no idea what the rash was and thought maybe it was a bacterial infection....Really?

I want to say we were referred to Desert Hills by several people, including some of our friends I checked out the reviews and they normally average a five star review. They did not disappoint. We had an appointment today for our sick puppy. Who's been sick now about 15 days. We were greeted by Trinity the doctors, assistant, amazing and caring, compassionate. Then the doctor came in they worked with dodger took her temperature. Did some other test. Dr. Murray was so thorough so caring and compassionate as well. She gave us some options. They did a panel which we should get back in a few days she most likely has pneumonia. She's now on meds everything about Desert Hills was above and beyond the care from everyone the cleanliness the friendliness we are so happy we have found them and we are so thankful that we now have a new veterinarian. We highly recommend them thank you so much. We feel so much better because of you.

I worked at this clinic for approximately two weeks, and honestly, that was more than enough time…read moreto get a glimpse of the work environment and culture. I came in willing to learn, contribute, and demonstrate the veterinary knowledge and skills I already had, but my experience left me seriously disappointed.The workplace felt extremely cliquey, unwelcoming, and full of mean-girl behavior. It seemed like being accepted had more to do with fitting into the existing group than being a capable, hardworking employee. Instead of being given a fair opportunity to demonstrate what I knew, I felt like there was little interest in letting me contribute or grow. There is a difference between training someone and making them feel incompetent simply because they are new. Constructive criticism is part of any job, but disrespect, exclusion, and unnecessary hostility should never be part of the training process.Veterinary medicine requires teamwork, communication, patience, and compassion. Unfortunately, my experience made me question whether those values were being practiced consistently behind the scenes. A clinic should encourage employees to learn, ask questions, and improve their skills instead of making them feel unwelcome. Management should set an example of professionalism and accountability, not contribute to an environment where people feel judged or excluded.I also have concerns about how clients and their pets are treated when the doors close. Pet owners trust veterinary professionals with members of their families, often during stressful and emotional situations. They deserve kindness, honesty, and respect, while their animals deserve safe, compassionate care. The atmosphere behind the scenes matters because communication and teamwork directly affect the quality of care a clinic can provide. Additionally, I have concerns regarding blood draws and bladder aspiration procedures that I observed or became aware of during my time there. I believe the appropriate veterinary authorities should review whether these procedures were being performed by properly authorized individuals and with any supervision required by law. These are serious concerns that deserve to be addressed appropriately. My experience was especially disappointing because leadership should be responsible for creating a workplace where employees are treated fairly, concerns can be raised professionally, and patient safety always comes first. No one should have to navigate cliques or tolerate unnecessary disrespect just to do their job.My advice: If you are considering working here, ask questions about training, supervision, and workplace culture before accepting a position. If you are a client, pay attention to how your concerns are handled and whether you feel comfortable asking questions about your pet's care.And if you thrive on gossip, exclusion, and mean-girl attitudes, you might fit right in. For everyone else, I would seriously consider whether this is the kind of environment you want to work in or trust with your pets. Veterinary medicine deserves better teamwork, stronger leadership, and a whole lot more compassion.

There were times it was hard to get a hold of the desk to make an appointment or ask a question, but I started to have better luck with emailing in vs calling...almost always a prompt response. Wait times during appointments could also get long, but it's understandable with a smaller hospital like theirs. I knew they always had my baby's best interest at heart and provided the best care for him they could, which makes up for any delays we experienced. They gave me a lovely card and nose and paw prints after we had to say goodbye to my little boy. I will always remember their kindness during that time and recommend bringing your babies here, too.

WE NOW HAVE A DEAD DOG WHICH MOST LIKELY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED:…read more We took our Newfoundland dog in to get dental surgery on Thursday, June 18th. They said he did fine coming out of the anesthesia. My husband got home and the dog was panting. We chalked it up to the dog may have had some anesthesia in his system. He was this way all night. We took him back on Friday and he was in the same condition with a temperature of 106. Our Newfie was there for a few hours and then sent home on Friday. On Saturday we had to rush him to the emergency vet and he had to be put down because he was much worse. THE DOG NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO US WITH HOW BAD HIS BREATHING WAS. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO AN OVERNIGHT VET HOSPITAL ON THURSDAY! When he was taken in, based on the notes, he was given oxygen and was breathing more normally. This did not last. After consulting others, we are being told that something definitely went wrong with the anesthesia. We should have been told that our dog needed to be admitted overnight to an emergency vet for over night monitoring instead of being released to us. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, OUR DOG MIGHT STILL BE WITH US!
