I am not one to give bad reviews but in good conscience, I cannot recommend this place or give this place 5 stars. We took our young cat to them for a problem and they ran a few tests and told us- nothing. We denied x-rays which would have been another $600. The vet was nice and very professional but didn't seem to know what the problem was. We also were upset at how the cat was handled which seemed to stress him more. The next day he was not better and we made the decision to take him to a different vet and within 10 minutes, he was treated and taken care of. I find Sonoran overpriced and not knowledgeable about many things. It should not cost $800 to diagnose a simple problem that in realty could have been diagnosed and taken care of in about 10 minutes for $150 total. read more

Nice staff knowledgeable doctor. Clean place will definitely be back here they even let us come back in room & showed us the x-rays & explained everything to us! read more

A very comprehensive dive and courteous place to take your fur friend. She was treated royally. read more

I began taking my rabbits here for their vet needs after our prior vet stopped seeing rabbits. I LOVE this office. They are so friendly, knowledgeable, and I trust them with my furbabies' health and wellbeing. My rabbit needed pretty extensive care for an abscess including teeth pulling and wound care and they handled her case so well. I particularly appreciate the detailed instructions they provided so I could handle her care at home--and now you can barely tell she previously had a giant wound on her face from where they drained her abscess! They're also really easy to get into which was appreciated when I needed her to be seen quickly during the healing process. I will forever take my exotic pets here! read more

The staff is always patient and kind. The doctors truly care about my pet. I highly recommend them for both my dog and my chinchilla!

First off, Sonoran Vet Center was able to fit me in at the last minute on a Saturday. Dr. Anderson, Lena and Shannon were all very professional and helpful. My green cheek conure was relieved of her scissor beak issue and is much happier now. The whole visit was a positive experience. I will continue to bring conures there for medical care. I had a question and called them a minute before they closed and got a recording, but Shannon called me right back, even though I had not left a message. They wanted to make sure everything was all right with my bird. They truly care. read more

I am sorry to have to update my former review! After taking my dog there for years with terrific treatment Dr Yeager is no longer there! I brought my dog there for her wellness check vaccinations and because her legs were getting worse! Another vet examined her prescribed the same meds and made a follow up appointment. When I took her home her front leg started bleeding profusely. They told me to come in the next morning. At about 10:30 they called to say my appt was for 10 I thought it was for 11 but they said to come in. I am 81 just getting over covid but I packed the dog in his new crate and went immediately. When I got there it was still before 11 but they told me to come back at 2:30! I asked to talk to Dr Yeager but they said no. I told them I had bandaged the leg but didn't know if it was to tight and I just needed a few minutes of her time they refused. I asked if another vet could just check her they refused but finally sent out another women who looked in the carrier and said "she's not bleeding"!!!! I showed her the blood and she said take her to an emergency clinic! I was to weak to take her somewhere else and told them I would wait until 2:30 and have Dr Yeager check her out! I sat in the office for over 3 hours in all that time only one person came in with a bird! Not one person checked on me or the dog in all that time! Yeager never told me she was leaving just that she was to busy to talk to me! She did surgery on the dog and made a follow up appt for me! When I arrived for that appt they told me I didn't have one! I went out to the car and showed them their card! They said another dr would see her later on! I waited and got a young vet who was the only one to offer an apology for what happened! They keep sending me notices to come back but that won't be happening! I am now searching for new vet one that is caring and compassionate! The one good thing is that she is scheduled for all her stuff so they will be short thousands of dollars!!! read more

Sonoran Veterinary Center provides us with the most incredible care we've ever experienced with a Vet. We have seen both Dr. Yeager and Dr. Anderson. Primarily see Dr. Anderson and she has been an incredible advocate for each and every one of our pets. She genuinely loves our pets, and they love her! She educates us every step of the way and her advice and professional support has never steered us wrong. The vet techs are always so cheerful and passionate. Christina at the front desk is also an absolute pleasure. S read more

Nope. Just take a look at my bill. "SQ Fluids" is literally just an injection of saline beneath the skin. A 1000 ml bag is $22 on chewy.com "Cerenia tablets" are $19.00 on pet meds. "Injection combo" is Cerenia injectable. One bottle of this medication is approximately $300 (if it's overpriced) and each bottle contains 20 mls. A dosage for a cat is 1 mg per kg. So about $1 for medication, and $.13 for the syringe. How sad that this vet would rather make an outrageous profit off my cats Illness than make a reasonable profit and do what she says she loves. read more

Do not come here, the prices are extremely inflated (over $2k to have my dog fixed and that was locked behind another unnecessary $1k procedure). They tend to add extra addons that have nothing to do with the actual service you're there for without discussing them with you. in my case, the doctor prescribed multiple unnecessary medications that actually did nothing other than make my dog sick. Dr Yeager is no longer with the company which is telling. They also have absolutely abysmal customer service. You can only speak with an office manager who clearly has no customer service skills or training. The crazy thing is I dont even want my money back or anything; I was just looking for empathy and some sort of accountability. I recommend that you go to Four Paws they took care of everything for about $500 and were extemely good to me. If you go to Sonoran Veterinary get ready for them to blatantly and unapologetically take advantage of you! read more

I love Dr. Yeager and her staff! I had an emergency with one of my parrots and because it was already later in the afternoon, I was told to take her to one of the emergency vets in the area as they were booked. The emergency vet was horrible and basically said I have three options, to take her home and let her die, leave her there for days of hospitalization with the odds of her not making it, or to euthanize her. Well, on the second day, she was still alive and I got in to see Dr. Yeager. All I have to say is Dr. Yeager and Stacy saved her life! They offered me several options, never once pressuring me to do one thing or the other, whatever I was comfortable with was fine with them. I did what Dr. Yeager suggested, got the meds, testing, etc. and my parrot is alive and well today because of Dr. Yeager and her staff's care. They are one of the best vets I have ever used. I trust my birds with them 1000%! They are the best! read more

Dr. Yeager is a phenomenal human and brilliant doctor. She has been our vet for almost 15 yrs. now, with our pug who has since passed away and now our 2 new puppies, she and Dr. Anderson ( who spayed our Dobie and ran proper Dobie breed tests beforehand) make us feel the up-most confidence and peace with their care. The staff, Christina and Stacy are so genuinely nice, knowledgeable and caring. I've read others' reviews on their charges and please bet that it's one and done the first time around , like a mechanic's shop, you don't want to pay hundreds every time then ending paying even more at the end of the day because they are playing guessing game on your what wrong with your pet. Best vet in town, hands down ! Give 'em a shot and see for yourself . They also specialize in exotics! Above and Beyond ! read more

This place used to be great. Christina are the front desk is awesome but the lack of care and effort as of lately from the staff other than her, as been very disappointing. They confirmed for me today they do not feel as a primary vet center they should discuss my dogs results showing he had a fibrosarcoma and sat on the results the eye doctor sent over for three weeks. Not only did they sit on the results but Stacy confirmed today she didn't feel like it was necessary for them their vet to call to discuss next course of action as a primary vet who sees my dogs the most. Immediately pulling all my animals from this clinic. read more

Threatened by Jasmine, the tech in front, to call 9-1-1 if didn't leave the premises immediately. I asked to at least speak with Dr. Yeager, and was told she would not see me or speak to me to try and understand this misunderstanding....Once again, was told by Jasmine to leave...witness saw this all...never raised my voice...Jasmine needs better people skills to manage the front desk. Would not recommend this vet to anyone given what I experienced today. read more

Their curbside protocol ran smoothly. We brought our dwarf rabbit in and received helpful information about the symptoms we were seeing as well as general care tips. I genuinely felt that the doctor gave us her full attention and plenty of time. We plan to return for our rabbit and maybe our cat as well. We also were happy with the final price of the services we received. read more

Very nice & knowledgable. - Both Dr & staff. Runs on time. Spacious waiting room and exam rooms. Large parking spaces & lots of them. Easy to find. My pets: parrot, dogs, cat read more

Every staff member was so kind, my appointment was on time and timely, affordable prices, and Dr. Anderson was great at listening, answering questions, and explaining things read more

We just moved to Tucson from Florida. Was looking for a good Aviary doctor in the area. Was actually referred by another Tucson veterinary Doctor that did not see birds. So I brought our Blue Crown Conure "Stella" to Sonoran Veterinary Center for a checkup. Not knowing what to expect, Julie Yeager DVM really knows her business. Not only did she gave Stella a good physical, she also did the most comprehensive blood test I have ever seen! Very detailed in all aspects of blood chemistry. Before I left Julie and her staff went over Stella's living conditions, cage, how to exercise her and parrot safety from predator animals in the area. Recommend 5 Star Aviary Center! Jim Carter and "Stella" Tucson read more

Switched from Sonoran to new vet due to puppy having severe medical issues. Pre paid for puppy package which they then charged me again (causing me to double pay). They didn't catch this and I had to point it out. Had to switch vets and they did not refund me for every visit/shot puppy didn't get (at least $400 worth of visits) and only refunded me about $200. Will not release medical records to me or other veterinary clinic, it's been months. Vet is driven by money and front office staff is rude and condescending. Very disappointed and will never return. Also would not ever recommend this clinic. read more

I am speechless about how amazing Dr. Yeager is. As a first time pet owner & an exotic animal owner, I was very nervous about vets and wanted to find the perfect one for my hedgehog. I live 47 minutes away from this clinic, but I was willing to give it a try. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed! Dr. Yeager was VERY friendly and made me feel very comfortable during a sad visit. She CARED about my animal and made sure I was well informed - she did not "just want my money." The vet tech was absolutely amazing as well, making me feel comfortable and helped me not break my bank by talking through and explaining every expense I was paying. After my visit, Dr, Yeager herself called me a few days later to discuss how I was feeling + follow ups. Talking to her on the phone felt like I was talking to a friend - she is so easy to talk to and answered every question I had. I will absolutely be returning for any animal service I need. I will never be able to thank Dr. Yeager and her staff enough!! read more

Horrible and price gouge without fixing the problem. Spent near 400 for a chicken with bumblefoot and after following exact directions and giving antibiotics 2x a day for 2 weeks it looks WORST than then I took her in. When I called to complain they offered no solution or reassurance and just wanted me to pay for another appt so they could tell me what they already lied about. Take your pet to someone who actually cares about helping your pet and not these money hungry monsters read more

Went with my Mother to get shots for her dog and they where absolutely rude and all about keeping the doors open. Unbelievable first impression. read more

I took my tortoise here a few weeks ago when I first got him and was very pleased with my visit! I spoke with a few different people (I really wish I remembered their names) and all of them were super nice. One lady even spoke to me for 15 minutes on the phone about Russian tortoises and the best practices for them, she answered any questions that I had and was very knowledgeable. They even called me the next day asking how my tortoise was doing after his visit and emailed me some more information that has been very useful. Would highly recommend them for your reptiles! read more

I'll spare you the details of my experience, but suffice it to say that the motivations of this clinic are purely financial. Dr. Yeager refuses treatment without expensive diagnostics. In my opinion, good veterinarians should be able to to diagnose and treat a fair percentage of ailments without an MRI or blood work etc. The technicians at this clinic are wonderful, but the front desk staff and Dr. Yeager are generally cold and clinical. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Yeager and the staff-- they were just great. I brought my pet hedgehog in for a checkup. They very obviously know what they're doing and have experience with hedgehogs (which isn't all that common in town). They took the time to get to know me and my hedgie and took excellent care of the grumpy little guy (and his nervous pet parent). They were very friendly, and very knowledgeable. Prices were reasonable and care was excellent. I'm so glad I found them. They are definitely my go-to now and I feel comfortable bringing my hedgehog back, whether he needs serious treatment or just a checkup. read more

I have never experienced the level of unethical behavior I did from this establishment. We were quoted a price of 55.00 for a visit and 55.56 for a health certificate, required to fly with our guinea pigs. They are not our regular vet, but our veterinarian was out having surgery. We drove across town only to be told to wait in our car while our pets were taken inside (Covid protocol). Then we were called while waiting in our vehicle and told that the actual cost would be $275 per guinea pig for the health certificates, with an additional flee/tick treatments (even though they were free of flees and ticks) without which the doctor would not sign the certificate that our pets were in good health. Our pets were completely healthy and these additional samples/treatments were not required by the agricultural dept. for which we had already received an issued permit to import. I left and called another vet who provided the exact same services for 320 total, as opposed to the nearly 800 I was quoted at this office. Mind you they knew we were traveling in a matter of days, having already purchased our flight reservations. This is predatory and unethical behavior in its worst form. Quoting a customer $100 on the phone and then attempting to charge them $700 additional dollars for the exact treatment initially quoted is the definition of a con. Beware read more

Very upset with this clinic.I called this clinic asking if they specialized with reptiles. I was assured they did and so I set up an appointment. When I was seen the staff was friendly, but then proceeded to tell me my bearded dragon was a female, could have metabolic bone disease, liver disease, kidney disease blah blah, and "she" needed X-rays right away. So of course I love my baby so I said yes. They continued to refer to my beardie as a girl the entire time, they took X-rays which showed absolutely nothing, then wanted to conduct lab tests which I said no. They gave me a pamphlet to force feed her and all this stuff. Basically I left 350 dollars later with no real answers. My beardie continued acting the same way for two more months and so I sought out help from another clinic with an individual who only works with reptiles. I go there and they examined my baby, and told me parasites can be a problem in this reptile and they would conduct parasite testing. They gave him an enema and tested the stool. The vet came back and assured me by beardie was a boy not a girl, gave me free supplemental food, and also informed me that beardies can take longer to mature and can act out. He also told me my beardie was a perfect size, weight, and the situation was behavioral. I received so much more information and treatment and only paid 54 dollars as opposed to 350 for a lack of treatment. If reptiles are not your specialty than that should not be claimed. I feel completely ripped off by this vet and ashamed that someone would take advantage of me and the love I have for my pet. If you have a reptile do not go here!!! Parasite testing should have been one of the first things the vet thought of for my beardie rather than all the other obscure, ridiculous things she came up with. I feel cheated! read more
