We love Dr. Senter, her husband Lou, and all the staff at Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital. We have been coming here for years, and I've never left without feeling my fur babies have gotten the best care. Our cat needed to have his teeth cleaned, and unfortunately, to have four teeth pulled. He did so well under the care of Dr. Senter! They do not pressure you to spend money on things that you don't need. They're required to offer certain things, but they're the first people to tell you if you don't need something. My cats are only indoors, so we skip a lot of the testing that cats need when they're out in the world. I've always felt supported when I've opted out of something. When there has been an emergency, even when there's no appointment available, they've had me drop off my kitty so that they can see her between appointments. I really appreciate that! I always recommend this place to people. The care my cats have gotten here has been fantastic! read more

If I could give them ten stars! Dr. Senter and her staff are amazing. Dr. Senter provides very detailed instructions with visual images when explaining specific illness, diagnosis and treatment. She and staff are incredibly tuned in when we share concerns regarding our cats. Very gentle and loving toward our felines. Gives us alot of time, no rushing us out the door. I will not go anywhere else! read more

These people are terrible. They just put you in a room and let you sit just like a doctor's office and they don't care about your pets. All they want is money, don't go here. You'll regret it read more

Highly recommend!! My dog just had serious dental surgery and the recovery went well. She is happy and relaxed. I absolutely love all the staff here! Thank you for making a very stressful thing less stressful with all the caring and loving energy that comes as a whole from all of you! Peaches says thank you! read more

See all

This was the worst vet I've ever been to in my life. My GSD has a very dry nose. She didn't do anything all she did was look at the nose and try to charge me $447. On the list was an impression smear test. I asked for them to do that she refused. She also told me that she did not have any allergies, but then she prescribed me allergy medication. I will never return to this vet again.!!! The vet nurse that assisted her prior to the vet herself was very well knowledged!! read more

I have been coming here for over 10 years. Dr Dawn, Lou, and the rest of the staff are awesome with my pups! Easy to get an appt and their fees are in line or less than other vets. Totally honest people and they do have your pet's best interest at heart. read more

This place is a great choice! The staff is very pleasant and worked with me and my animals to provide excellent service. The management is understanding and provided me with over the top service. The Dr here is so friendly and made my experience fun! I see why they have such great reviews read more

I brought my senior cat in for a physical exam and ear cleaning. The staff and techs were okay, but the veterinarian was unexpectedly rough with my cat. He did not exude warmth or care with her which I found upsetting. I had them clean her ears and I don't know what they did to her but they definitely made the problem worse. Also there was very little follow up. They called with her blood work results and gave me some limited information while I was at work and did not do any additional follow up on any questions I may have had about her condition or how they could help me get a Rx food for her etc. Pretty disappointed considering the stellar reviews on here. read more

The entire staff here is incredible. Super patient, fair, and extremely knowledgeable. My dog is a year old and has had more ailments than more dogs will have in their lifetime. They've handled every situation with such grace-- I'm so thankful I found them! And Ben is, too! :) read more

Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital - Thanks for keeping me alive, Dr. Senter! - Veterinarians Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We live around the corner from the clinic and one day we had to bring in our cat that suffered some type of break out, the experience was awesome and needless to say we have been bringing in the rest of our pets to this vet. We had our toy poodle get a dental cleaning and it's always nerve wrecking since they have to be put under anesthesia. We knew she had really bad teeth but did not know how bad it was since she is a rescue. They had to pull out 23 teeth but they made me feel so reassured that this would benefit her. After a week of her procedure she is like a new puppy!! She feels amazing, she is eating way better and best of all no stinky breath!!! Best money I have ever spent!! We recommend this vet to anyone who is looking for a vet that has heart and compassion for both pets and humans! Dr. Sara and her team truly care about her patients and that is so hard to find these days! read more

Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital - Mesa Central Veterinary Hospital is the vet to go!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Waste of time and money. I have never taken a pet into a vet who showed lac k of interest. Kitty had her temperature taken we wait we talk with Vet, explain concerns, she walks out then assistant comes back with a printout of what the vet wants, approx $250 blood workup, and $300 xrays !!! WHAT ?? No discussion, further discussion with Vet, no simple blood work to check for infection nada nothing. Seriously worst experience ever, brought the cat home, and went on google how to treat a hairball and she is fine now. Vet did not offer any remedy for hair ball, just wanted to rack up the bill. What was the $53 fee for? Worst experience with a vet moving on. read more

I took bot my cats here and they were able to get us in pretty quickly. The doctor and rest of the staff was super friendly! We were able to get estimates for everything before arriving and there were absolutely NO HIDDEN COSTS. Which impressed me. I was able to call and ask questions about the procedures after I had already left and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lou was amazing and I wouldn't want to go to any other doctors from now on for my first babies. You guys were all amazing and thank you for all that you do!! read more

I love them!!! So real!!! No B.S. and quality, loving care & reasonably priced. A real nice old school vet, no chains. Dawn (the vet) listens to you, is patient, kind and loving. I HIGHLY recommend Dawn owner and vet at Central Mesa Veterinarian!!! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful as well. read more

Best veterinary office! We have been taking our fur kids to them for 7 years now. Dr. Senter, Lou and the rest of the staff are always attentive and provide the best care. They always treat our animals like they are part of their family. I wouldn't consider taking our animals anywhere else. read more

Love this vet! They take such good care of my golden doodle. The prices are very affordable and the care and knowledgeable is amazing! We won't go anywhere else! read more

This review is long overdue. My wife and I have been bringing our pets here for years. Yesterday we made an extremely difficult decision to have our Ocho put to sleep due to his age and health problems. It was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. Dr. Senter, Lou and all the technicians are so respectful and nice. All of them are gentle and loving with our pets when we bring them in. Dr. Senter makes sure to throughly explain everything in her assessments and treatment plans. She answers any questions you may have and is reassuring. My wife and I love this clinic and will never go to another one as long as they are in business. These are great and trustworthy people. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Senter, Lou and the staff. Thank you for being the best. read more

Our poor puppy was injured from her collar getting caught on her kennel and we were worried it would get infected. Our vet was closed so we decided to rush across town to the Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital. On the phone they stated they were booked for the day but could squeeze us in. Upon arrival, we were immediately put into a room and the doctor saw us shortly. They took amazing care of our child (puppy) and took their time explaining everything. They showed us the price and explained what the breakdown of each item was and gave us the choice on what medicines we wanted to purchase and not purchase; since money was an issue. The prices were fair and the care was exceptional and timely. Upon leaving, we asked if they could have our normal vet fax over her records because we are switching to this vet permanently. (And this one is 10 miles further). We were beyond impressed! Thank you! read more

Dr. Senter, Lou and all the office staff have been great! They have cared for my Molly for almost 6 years. Due to moving to Phoenix, Molly and I have recently found another vet, but I would like to give them a HUGE thanks for being awesome with Molly. The new vet even gave them kudos for writing detailed notes that were easy to read and understand, so thank you for that! It made our first visit with the new vet easy flowing. Molly and I will miss you all, but if we are on that side of town, we will be sure to stop by and say hello. Thank you! read more

wow, Wow, WOW! I have been bringing my pets to Dr. Senter for the past couple of years. We started with my dog who has had general check ups, treatment for a digestive issue, and treatment for an ear infection. We rescued a cat from a shelter that ended up coming home with a URI and some conjunctivitis and later packed on a couple extra pounds. We just recently rescued another cat who started up with some sniffles and was also taken to see Dr. Senter for that and a general new-pet check up. I can honestly say, Dr. Senter and her staff are amazing and honest people who love pets and are more than happy to answer any questions you have. I've had questions about anything from certain diseases to the difference between clay and clumping litter and walked away fully informed! Every situation we have brought to them, be it a general check up or illness, has been treated with honesty and compassion. When it comes to tests and vaccines, Dr. Senter has always described what the tests/vaccines are for, why they should be done, and in some cases, why some vaccines were good to get done but totally optional (we keep our cats indoors only). They have never pressured us into anything and have always given us the options, knowledge, and informed us of the pros and cons, to make an informed and educated decision. In my experience with them, the staff will sit with you and show you the line up of tests/vaccines/supplements/meds with the price and allow you to decide what you want before getting it done, while answering ANY questions you have on them. I've been able to line up my pet's priorities (like ear infection medicine, or a stool test in the case of digestive issues) first and leave other things that were not as urgent for the follow up visit. In the case of my fat cat, she gave us the -option- of trying a certain food, which we did, and provided a feeding plan that helped our cat shed the pounds! She has never given us the run around and the medicines she provided for our minor and basic cases, did the trick the first time around. They have always called us back to follow up after visits and answer any basic questions. Dr. Senter and all of her staff are simply amazing and when people say they go above and beyond, they truly do!! This is why I have brought my pets here time and time again!! read more

We've been taking our zoo here for some time now and the service hasn't changed a bit. This group of people care immensely about every single animal that they see. My husband, mother and I feel so comfortable every time we call the office or walk through the door. Not only do they make us feel like part of the family, but they are damn good healthcare providers too. Dr.Senter is incredibly knowledgeable-- additionally, I have the utmost trust in all of the information provided by Lou, their insanely experienced and intelligent vet tech! Couldn't ask for a better veterinary establishment! read more

We've been patients with Dr. Senter for 4 years now, and I'll never seek out another vet. They understand that I'm a pet parent, not an owner, and they are great about answering questions. You can tell that they love animals by how they fawn over yours in each appointment. Dr. Senter goes above and beyond, providing me with useful articles for some male aggression issues with my older cat a few years ago. I've never waited longer than 5-10 minutes for a room when we arrive, and they are super prompt with phone calls, even if it's just to assure you that what you're concerned about is normal. Love this place, and I recommend them to all my friends and coworkers! read more

Dawn & Lou are fantastic! They take excellent care of my Ire, and my son's cat Sammy. Full of warmth, and knowledge, I put my utmost trust in them. read more

This place is AMAZING. I needed an emergency visit for my cat and they were able to get me in same day after calling vets all over. I had another emergency with my kittens a few weeks later, and again they were able to see me same day without any crazy fees. The doctor and techs were super sweet, very knowledgeable, and didn't nickel and dime me. They presented all options, but were willing to chat with me to find out what was necessary and what we could hold off to save money. They were also incredibly compassionate and treated my babies with care and grace. I'm never going back to another vet, these guys have got me as customers for life. read more

This is the best vet that I have ever been to, and I have been to many with exotic and just your run of the mill pets. Dr. Senter by far is the best one that we have come across, and our animals just LOVE her. We used to see a vet in Scottsdale, and we picked them because they were open on Saturdays and Sundays. The doctor talked down to us, and treated us like we were morons when we didn't know all the high-tech terms that she was using, and basically called us bad dog parents because we didn't know what we were doing when we asked questions on anything--hello, how do you learn!? We found Dr. Senter through United Pet Care, and chose her simply because she was open Saturdays. There are a few pet clinics that are closer to us, but now that we've met, and dealt with Dr. Senter, we will never go back to another doctor! She is the most kind and caring person, and has no problem talking about your dogs and their needs / problems and explaining them to you so that you can understand it. Last year we had a mysterious problem come up with our dog which yielded a lot of different tests. When we asked her opinion on what we should do; her first option was not the most expensive, which showed she didn't just care about being paid, or putting our dog through a myriad of unnecessary tests if we didn't have to. She or someone from her staff always calls with results as soon as they get them. We have never had to call and say "hey it's been a week, what the heck is going on with my dog?" She and her staff have called me a few times throughout the day when one of our dogs had his teeth cleaned because I was freaking out about him being put under anesthetic. We even got a call after we had to take our dog to another emergency clinic (on a Sunday because they weren't open) to see how our dog was doing. That is going above and beyond anything that I have ever seen. Dr. Senter and her staff are in it because they really do care about your animals and their wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality vet. read more

We have been taking our dog to Central Mesa Vet for years and they always take great care of her (and us too). The staff are warm, kind and knowledgeable and make it a really pleasant experience every time we go there! read more

Dr. Dawn is the best! She has been my vet for numerous years now and I would never go anywhere else. She and Lou are very honest, and do not sugar coat things and that's what I trust most about them. They are very hard working and go above and beyond for their patients. Thank you Dr. Senter and Lou for all your hard work and for caring for my babies! read more

I would give ten out of five stars if I could! It's easy to see that everyone in this office loves dogs probably cats to lol they literally saved my dogs life and never tried to empty my pockets in the process. Also our dog Ace is not the most behaved creature. This didn't stop them from giving him proper care as well as thorough exams. Cant say enough about this team of professionals! read more

I just recently got a puppy and brought her to Central Mesa vet hospital. I am so happy I found This clinic! Dr. Senter and her staff are so welcoming from the moment you get there. With everything going on right now I was unsure if they would let me go inside, and they did. They walked me and my pup straight into the room so we aren't waiting in the lobby. I did not have to wait long and I was able to ask questions without feeling like I was a bother or taking all of their time. They were able to get us scheduled within the week and the are very reasonable with their fee's. I have another dog who is established at another vet but I will schedule her with Dr. Senter from now on! Thank you Central Mesa Vet Hospital! read more

Absolutely one of the best vets we have used so far! We have a high maintenance pup with epilepsy and they have been so helpful with finding the best medication to give her the most control of her seizures! They suggest what they think is the best option but are more than willing to work around your budget and find the best alternatives. Their small office has always been quiet and not stressful on my dogs (which is great for my epileptic one). They have always gotten us in very quickly and the staff is incredibly friendly. All the staff know me and my dogs names when we walk in or call, which means a lot to me. We have recently moved up North and I hope we can find another vet as friendly and supportive as Central Mesa Vet was to us and our pups! read more

Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital saved our cat's life. Dr. Senter is a talented veterinarian, she genuinely cares about animals, her staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. We've had pets for 40+ years, and known many veterinarians over that time. Dr. Senter is one of the best we've ever had the pleasure to bring our 'fur kids' to, what a delightful surprise to find in such a big metropolitan area! While Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital is a state of the art facility, attention to the patients seems to be from a more personal time, when our doctors really knew us. We highly recommend Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital! read more

I agree with all of the other five star reviews. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats. We moved recently from California. We are very particular that we get the best care for our pets. Dr senter and her staff are fantastic. They spend time answering all questions and seeing that the best care is given to your pet. Our German shepherd rescue is terrified of vets and acts out. I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to handle her. Not only did they treat her but were very kind to her and us. I am so grateful to find dr senter. The fees are VERY reasonable. I highly recommend dr senter and her staff !!!!! read more

We started coming to Central Mesa Vet about 6 months ago. Unfortunately they didn't know our pets long before both of them started having issues that caused us to visit quite often. Our bullmastiff was very protective of us but the Dr was very understanding when he would growl and snap, I've noticed that not a lot of vets understand when a dog is simply acting like a dog. This was huge for us, it really cemented that this vet was the perfect fit for our family. When we found out our bullmastiff had bone cancer they were really helpful and super caring. We had to put him down in their office in March and they really helped us through it. We still have a healthy bulldog and now a new french mastiff and I wouldn't take them anywhere else. read more

So thankful for Dr. Senter and her staff! My pug receives excellent care and they don't "make up" problems to solve for your pet unlike many vets in the Valley. We had a terrible experience with Paws Veterinary before this and I was very skeptical about finding a vet we could trust. Dr. Senter and staff were a pleasant surprise. I recommend this vet to anyone in the East Valley! read more

I am so happy with my new vet! We had to bring our 3 year old cat in about 3 weeks ago because she started peeing outside the litter box. I have done a lot of research online and I know that inappropriate urination is very hard to treat, especially if it has a behavioral cause. Dr. Senter spent a long time discussing our cat's symptoms, possible causes, and interviewing us to find out what the home environment is like. She gave us some very practical advice and was flexible and worked with us when certain suggestions seemed unrealistic for our household. She has called us several times to follow up and see how our treatment plan is working. We used to take our cats to a vet who was very obviously a "dog person" and I appreciate being able to talk to a vet who has cats of her own. Dr. Senter and her staff are all so friendly and seem to really care about our cat (and our sofa that was turning into another litter box). read more

Our 8 mo old German Shepherd puppy had started limping from his front leg, we took him to our regular Vet and unfortunately they were not very helpful in what was wrong just said we needed to see a specialist! Someone referred us to Dr Senter for a 2nd opinion and I could not of asked for a better Dr!! She was amazing! So kind and gentle and so incredibly informative! She took the time to show us exactly what was wrong, and explain it in detail! She referred us to a trusted Specialist where we had the surgery done. She didnt charge us and prescribed us medicine for him which was not previously given. Our big guy is doing much better now and I'm so thankful Dr Senter helped us understand!! I wish her practice was closer to us but she was worth the drive!!! read more

Dr. Senter was the only vet that would see me for a same-day, Saturday appointment when I had an emergency with one of my kittens. Dr. Senter is amazing. She is extremely knowledgable, caring, and makes an effort to be very involved with her patients and their owners. I pretty much have a zoo living at my house, so we see her quite a bit-- & every time, she is just an absolute pleasure to work with. Also, she is the first vet that I am come across that is extremely affordable. She does not nickel and dime her patients whatsoever. I am so happy I found her coincidentally. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

Amazing experience!. If the staff here had this much compassion over my guinea pig I know exactly who to take my dogs to when they need a Vet!. Dawn and her assistants made me feel at ease when making tough decisions regarding our pet. They talked with me through all my options and sometimes, as pet owners, we need to do what is best for the animal and your family. The staff here respected the choices we made and were extremely helpful while they gave me time and presented all my options to me. read more

Very caring through the whole process of having our beloved pet Simba cared for. It was a hard time but they listened and showed great empathy and care for our "old man". We even received a condolence card from the team. Affordable pricing and fantastic place. A million stars!!!!! Thank you read more
