I have been going to Dr Toben for over 20 years. He and his staff is amazing. Many of the staff have also been there for years.

Dr. Toben and the entire staff are genuine and caring. Very grateful for all that they do to take care of my favorite furry friend.

Dr. Tobin and her team are absolutely fantastic! The staff was so patient and made me feel comfortable immediately. Dr. Tobin took the time to answer all my questions and gave excellent care advice. The communication in that office is excellent. They keep you updated when your pet is in surgery and let you know when the surgery has finished . The office is clean, and the front desk is super friendly. Highly recommend!" read more

I have consistently had positive experiences with Apollo Animal Hospital, which is why this recent visit was so disappointing. I came in after my cat had passed away at home. The staff was already aware that my cat's condition had deteriorated the previous day and that I would likely need to bring him in. Unfortunately, he passed away after the hospital had closed, so I had no choice but to keep him with me until the following morning. Upon arriving, I was asked to wait in the lobby with my deceased cat. In the past, I had always been taken directly to a private room during sensitive situations, so I was surprised and saddened that this was not done. Instead, I was asked to complete cremation paperwork and pay for the services in the waiting room, in full view of other clients. During my previous experience with cremation services, payment was not collected until my pet's ashes were returned, so I was unprepared to handle that financial transaction while grieving. The entire experience felt insensitive and lacking in compassion during an already heartbreaking time. Having such personal and emotional matters handled publicly made an incredibly difficult situation even more painful. This was the first negative experience I have had with Apollo Animal Hospital, which makes it especially unfortunate. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future clients experiencing the loss of a beloved pet are treated with the privacy, empathy, and consideration they deserve. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Chuck Toben. I just wish every vet treated my dog the way he does. 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. read more

We have had dogs since the early 90's and have been to more vets than I can remember. They are priced fairly, do good work and really care about our dogs. There are quite a few vets that are closer to us but it is worth the drive for Dr. Tobin. Out of the many vets we have been to, there have been a handful that were really good vets, but Dr. Tobin is the best I have seen when dealing with me. read more

I have gone there with my pets since 2007the doctors are very informative knowledgeable and compassionate

This vet was great until they weren't. After awhile, my sick senior dog became a bother because she didn't like going in the car or the vet. One time, when they didn't think I was inside the building, I saw them DRAGGING HER by her collar after she was sedated to the scale. I locked eyes with the vet (the son) and he knew he fucked up. She is gone now, and this still pisses me off to this day. Don't be a vet if you are bothered by animals being sick and not waiting to be there. You tortured my old dog for months just for money. Shameful. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Toben and his associates for over 20 years. We love the staff, facilities and the compassion and consideration that everyone shows. Vet care is expensive anywhere you go, but Apollo will always help me determine what is necessary vs. what is extra. Through all of our pets, whether grooming, boarding, or vet care - Apollo has been fantastic. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

The Vet put off our spaying apt. for two months. We now have an uncomfortable kitten in heat as well as an older cat being stressed and us not getting any sleep! Never going back! read more

How do you rate a place when you walk out in tears? I'm not from the area but knew i needed an appt for my cat after she started acting really out of character. It was odd to say the least. My sister in law referred me here because she's been taking her pets here for many years and loves it. Tiffany answered when i called. I explained how my cat had started to walk in circles along with a couple other oddities. There was mention of a possible inner ear infection or something worse, like a stroke. She found a cancellation and fit us in for the next morning. She was friendly and professional. We brought Frosty in for her appt and met with Dr. Corrin Toben. It wasn't long before she explained that my cat was blind (what the hell? I didn't see that one coming. And no pun intended ). After several questions, and exam she explained that it was highly likely that Frosty had lost her eye sight as a result of high blood pressure which also likely caused some organ failure and possible brain damage. That would explain why we didn't think Frosty was going to make it through the night, the night prior to the appointment. Toben offered no judgement when we decided to put Frosty down. The procedures they have in place to streamline the process was great. She explained the steps and gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. They provided a call button to use when we were ready. Someone also came in our private room to take payment so we wouldn't have to wait in the open waiting room and could walk right out after everything was done. She let me hold and comfort Frosty during the three step IV injections. Shortly after the third and final one Toben checked for a heartbeat and calmly said, "Frosty is in peace now." I'm starting to well up as im typing this. That phase was so incredibly comforting and peaceful to us. Thank you Dr. Corrin Toben and the entire staff for helping us through a very difficult and unexpected time. read more

Helpful, Caring and professional Is a good description of everybody at APOLLO. IT was Marley and Jack Wrangler's Annual Check Up with Dr.Charles Toben. Everything went smoothly and The PUPS were happy to see Dr. Toben Connie Moore read more

I've been taking my two Danes here for 2 years now. Staff is always very nice and willing to help. Dr. Corrin Tobin is great, she's a combination of very efficient and also very caring. She spayed and neutered both of my dogs in the last year. Would recommend to anyone looking for a non-corporate-feeling, friendly vet in Glendale area. I actually moved 45 minutes away and still make the commute over here because they're the best I've been to. Thank you! read more

Our cat suddenly became very sick and ended up being hospitalized for 4 days. All throughout the diagnosis and treatment process Dr Chuck Toben and his staff were so caring and supportive. Our kitty recovered and is now doing very well. We highly recommend Apollo Animal Hospital. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Even if seeing me gives Dr. Toben a migraine The staff is always helpful and they always check on my animals for days after they have seen them. When one of my rabbits passed away Apollo Animal Hospital made a donation in my bunnies name to the zoo. I got a lovely hand written note from the team there. Both Tobens truly care about the animals. I drive over an hour just to bring my animals there. 10/10 will recommend to everyone! read more

We took our 10-week old labradoodle to see Dr K. C. Wright for her first visit. There was a bit of a delay (15 minutes lated) before we were seen, but Dr K. C. is awesome. He took his time examining our puppy and answered all of our questions. Our pup also got her 2nd round of puppy shots (first round was done by the breeder). The entire staff was warm and welcoming, and though the waiting room was busy and they were running a bit behind schedule, we are happy to have found this place to help us take care of our puppy. read more

Great place to have your animals cared for. Ive only dealt with Dr Tobin. He has been caring for our cats just a year now. The staff is great, I'm talking about front desk folks and vet techs.They have other services like grooming, dental etc., that Ive not used yet. A friend referred me to Apollo. Its further away than my old vet, my cats and I don't mind the drive. You will be happy. read more

All of the doctors and staff here are very experienced and absolutely fantastic! I am extremely confident in recommending them as they have never provided anything less than the best care for my dog! The communication from all the staff is exceptional. I highly recommend this hospital and will continue using them for all of my pets! read more

At the beginning of the year, my 12 year cat had an abscess near the base of her tail from my other cat going after her. It had been difficult to find the abscess because of her long dark tortie fur. Also, she is very timid and difficult to check out. It healed, but then came back again on the other side of her tail, so I called Apollo Animal Hosp. to have it checked out. I didn't have a regular vet at this time, but had heard good things about Apollo from years ago. They were booked for 2 weeks. The earliest they could see me was Jan. 18th. By the time I saw KC Wright, the abscess was pretty well healed. He prescribed antibiotics and suggested a lab culture to see what kind of bacteria caused this but said it was "pretty expensive" ($230.) I agreed to this but the results of the culture showed "no bacteria" which seemed very strange to me. She was fine after this but at the beginning of May, I noticed that she was having some trouble eating and wasn't drinking water. I thought it might be something caught in her throat. When I examined her, I felt a pea-sized lump under her neck next to her trachea. I called Apollo on Tues., May 7th but they couldn't see her until May 9th (4pm). I tried giving her water with an eye dropper to keep her hydrated and "liquidy" food, but she was having trouble swallowing. Corrin Toben did a "wellness exam" and said that she was severely dehydrated, could give her fluids, do lab tests, but I might want to consider hospitalization for a couple days. Been there, done that with another cat and knew she would never make it. I pointed out that she had a lump under her neck. Dr. Toben said "I am SO sorry!! I did not notice that! I am SO sorry!!" She said they would check her out, do an x-ray (no cost) and sample the mass (no cost) because she was curious as to what it might be. She told me to wait in the waiting room. When she came to me around 5:30, she said that the mass seemed to be cancer and I might want to think about saying "goodbye". "When?" I asked. "Now." she said. I asked how much it would cost for euthanasia and individual cremation and was quoted, around $450. I took her home, tried giving her water and mushy food. Even though she really wanted to eat, she just couldn't seem to swallow very well. I picked up the lab report and vet notes a day or so later after KC Wright had called me and said that everything was pretty normal, except the white blood count was somewhat high. The vet report said the mass on her throat was 3cm x 3cm x 3cm (the size of a grape or strawberry?)...and they hadn't noticed it until I pointed it out??? So SAD and AGRIEVED I took my sweet girl here! Clearly, they are about $$$. I took her to Glenfair Animal Hosp. on May 16th for Euthanasia and cremation. The cost was $215. I picked up her ashes presented in a blue velvet bag with a beautiful carved wooded box nestled inside and the word "RAIN" carved on the outside. read more

There aren't enough incredible, extraordinary, awesome adjectives in the Webster's to describe what a thoughtful, thorough, conscientious,and caring veterinarian Dr.Toben is..I have traveled all over the country for the OR for over 15 years and use Yelp faithfully everywhere I go for the best in EVERYTHING in every field and service.When I arrived in Phoenix I adopted a Frenchie from a Breeder that could not use him because of a genital malformation.I took him to the vet (who shall remain nameless)..who delivered him.He had an ear infection,needed his vaccinations,had the malformation,and needed neutered.I was given an oral med for the ear infection (no swab to see if it was yeast or mites-which later made him vomit),and asked to schedule his procedure she wasn't sure she could complete as well as left with a breakdown of the cost... NOT WITH DR.T..He took his time, answered all my questions,took care of my boy and his ear infection,and I am NOT TAKING HIM ANYWHERE ELSE... Scheduling his surgery in a few months when they can fit him in . read more

To further elaborate on my previous review that I wrote in a haste without much detail. I brought my senior dog in SEVERAL times, totaling nearly 2k and Dr. KC did nothing! X-rays twice showed bronchitis, but he never treated it. Valley fever test was negative twice, but wanted me to continue to treat her for it even though it diminished her quality of life. The last time, and I do mean the LAST time we went in for labs, he came out and suddenly was concerned about cancer. She does not have cancer, BTW. Why even say something like that followed by the test is very expensive after I just spend almost 2k on nothing? When I left that appointment, we had a plan. Waited for results of tests which we again negative and the x-ray showed bronchitis (which he again did not treat), he stated he would not do any other testing on her except to screen for cancer, gave no other options except the one I refused to do because every time went went, it was something different. That was it. He gave up on treating or helping my dog in any way. Kinda defeated the purpose of being a vet, don't you think? To be clear, money was never an issue. I make enough to pay the unnecessarily high prices at this vet. It's the shitty care for my old dog I had an issue with. It was charging me for things I didn't agree to, like anesthesia after I gave her enough medication to drop a horse at home as instructed. It was dragging my senior dog to the scale by her harness while I was sitting in the lobby. It was the extra meds that were a surprise at checkout or the same meds that seemed to change price by the month for the same amount. It was the not doing anything that was in the best interest of my dog because you assumed I couldn't pay for it. Which I can and did at another vet right after you said you'd no longer treat my dog for anything. The amount of money I did pay for you to do absolutely nothing and continuously pad my bill with stuff you didn't even have the decency to speak to me about is deplorable, and you should be ashamed. You fed off my love for my dog and were ok with letting her suffer and/or die. You are a garbage human being and should be refunding me every single dime you wasted because you chose to keep her sick. She's doing great now, by the way. No coughing, and she's taking a monthly injection for her arthritis. Something you never even mentioned she could have. That's all I have to say here, for now. This will not be the last time you hear from me, though. Not by a long shot. read more

I am so grateful for the level of care this hospital has provided to my cats. Highly recommend.

Apollo Animal Hospital is an absolute dream. The staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Wright has the gift of empathy as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding pets. I completely trust that he is always putting my animals health and safety as a top priority. I would highly suggest going to this location and requesting Dr. Wright. read more

The best vets in AZ. One of the last places not bought out by the AZPetVet corporation(you'd be surprised how many they've bought out)and you get that family vibe and real care for your pets vs the corporate profit over patient feel. They even have a father/son team there! And Dr. Toben was one of the most caring veterinarians I've ever been to during my best friend's last days. The whole staff is top notch. I have and will continue spreading the word to anyone who has pets. Really can't say enough good about them read more

Just took my dog cali here for an emergency situation and I was blown away by how awesome Charles Toben and his staff are. My dog is a stray and extremely nervous and they were so kind and gentle with her. They had my dog feeling better the same night! I'm so grateful for Charles (Chuck) and his staff! They were so polite & reassuring! Definitely coming here for my fur babies from here on out! Thank you! read more

They are the best of the best. We have been taking our pets to them since it opened. No matter where we live in the valley we don't care how long it takes us to drive there. It's worth it. The entire staff is great. Dr KC Wight is at the top of the list. He is a great person and friend. We will always take our pets to him. read more

Dr KC Wright at Apollo Animal Hospital is the best veterinarian anywhere! He took care of my dog with knowledge and kindness throughout her life. When it came time to euthanize her, Dr KC was compassionate and reassuring that I was making the right decision for my dog. He really helped me through that terrible time. A few days after her death, I received a card of sympathy from Dr KC and the hospital. Then a few more days went by and I received a card from the Phoenix Zoo's Pet Celebration & Memorial Program informing me that a donation had been made in loving memory of my dog - given by Dr KC Wright and The Staff at Apollo Animal Hospital. I can't recommend this Dr or Animal Hospital high enough! 10 stars!! read more

We have brought our various dogs here for many years (for veterinary service, grooming, boarding, etc). Unfortunately, we were sad to learn (be told rather coldly) that since we did not have the early shots for our puppy completed at their vet clinic, our puppy is not welcome to board there. Well, on top of the fact that I am not permitted in to the appointment (due to their specific/chosen covid rules) - sadly we are moving on after more than a decade of patronizing them. We loved the veterinarians, hopefully they will realize the value in updating their covid policy -so pet owners can accompany their pets on the appointments and adjust their "boarding policies" (regarding shots) so they don't lose more trusted, long-term, valuable patrons. (We have close friends who have gone here for years, who have also left due to the on-going covid policies.) :( So sad... we used to love Apollo. *fyi- our puppy's shots are all current and legitimately completed, the issue regarding "not being permitted to board there" any longer was that the shots were not administered at Apollo. :( read more

Dr. K.C. Wright is awesome! He has taken such good care of our little girl (Leeloo a Lhasa Apso) over the years, as she is 11 years old now. Our latest scare was an enlarged lymph node with a high fever and low white blood cell count. Dr. K.C. was very thorough, and gave us daily updates since she had to be hospitalized with an IV and antibiotics. He even went in on his days off to check in on our little girl.

Took our furry friend here for the first time and the experience was incredible from start to finish. Booking was super easy. They confirmed the day before. Drop off was simple - plus, it smelled so pleasant and clean, not like the "big box" grooming places. Our pup was finished ahead of time - very pleased with the service provided by Kirsten and the price point was spot on! Already booked our next appointment! read more

I am so glad I found Dr. KC. We couldn't have a better vet. I have two dogs and 6 cats, all older and most with health issues and Dr. Casey took care of us like we were family. He is professional, compassionate, well educated and an overall great person. The staff in front is top notch also, great bunch of people that I was comfortable bringing my babies to. They do have a little higher office visit fee but COMPLETELY worth it. read more
