Amelia figured out very quickly that she had pano, a large breed puppy growing pains type issue. Thankfully nothing serious. 2nd visit was the day before Thanksgiving 2024. I had originally scheduled my Anatolian to come in for an enlarged lymph gland, but quickly realized that morning that my Golden needed to be seen more urgently. Got my Golden seen that day and realized she had Pyrometra which is extremely dangerous and fatal if not treated quickly. The vet did her surgery on December 1st and saved her life! Her uterus was extremely large, thankfully hadn't burst yet. This vet knows what she is doing! Listen to her advice. Make sure you have good pet insurance (mine is PETS Best) and a high limit credit card for these types of emergencies. I spent almost $4,000 here for everything including surgery, but it didn't matter because my dog is still alive! I told them what I wanted done and they did those things only. I never got pressured or forced into more work than was necessary. I appreciate this vet so much and would highly recommend her and would bring my dogs here again if needed.

A Tribute of Gratitude: World-Class Compassion and Honor at Every Level…read moreLosing a beloved family member is never easy, but the level of care, dignity, and honor we experienced with Dr. Yang and his entire team turned a devastating day into a deeply moving tribute to our dog's life. From the moment you walk through the door, you can tell this team operates at a standard above the rest. Even when the front desk is busy and the phones are ringing non-stop, they never make you feel like a number. They treated us with individual patience, warmth, and complete grace. Every single person who interacted with our girl--from walking her in to gently trimming her nails--earned her complete trust. She simply let them care for her, which speaks volumes about the peaceful energy this whole office projects. Dr. Yang is an extraordinary veterinarian and human being. He handled our family and our dog with profound respect, pride, and professionalism. The emotional weight of this work must be heart-wrenching, yet Dr. Yang placed our comfort and our dog's peace above everything else. He was remarkably gentle--taking extra care when administering medications that can burn, speaking softly, and even getting right down on the floor with our girl to comfortably see her through her final moments. He understood deeply that he was ending the life of a cherished family member, and he treated that responsibility with the utmost reverence and honor. To top off their incredible care, we received a sympathy card in the mail featuring our dog's paw print. It touched my wife's heart in a way words can barely describe. Twelve staff members signed that card--twelve. The entire team took the time to write to us, showing that they didn't just see another patient; they truly cared. Dr. Yang and his amazing 12-person team are the gold standard of veterinary care. Thank you all for your professionalism, your gentle hands, and your exceptionally kind hearts. We will never forget what you did for our family.

I genuinely do not understand how this veterinary clinic has a 4.6-star rating. My experience here…read morewith my dog Theo was extremely disappointing and stressful. I brought Theo in for a rabies shot because his 1-year rabies vaccine had expired. Before the appointment, I made it very clear that Theo is a reactive and anxious dog. I explained that he does not bite and that he is comfortable with me handling him, and I specifically asked if they could show me how to do basic handling like taking his temperature so we could make future visits less stressful. Instead of working with us or even attempting to build any level of comfort, the doctor skipped everything and went straight to the shot. What made the situation much worse was the behavior of the front desk woman (who appears to be the doctor's wife). She unnecessarily followed the doctor into the exam area even though she was not assisting with anything and only increased the stress level in the room. She yelled at my dog, got in his face pointing her finger and saying "No Theo, no," and made multiple annoyed comments about him barking. Theo was clearly scared, not aggressive, and her behavior showed a complete lack of understanding of fear-based reactivity and anxious dogs. Yelling at a frightened dog is not appropriate or professional in a veterinary setting. When I asked if they had treats to help distract him during the shot, she acted annoyed, went to get something, came back, and never even gave it to me. They then instructed me to hold my dog in a tight chokehold while they administered the shot, which I have never been asked to do at any other veterinary clinic. Normally, vets take the time to calmly approach, build trust, and handle dogs in a way that reduces fear and stress. To make matters worse, they administered the 3-year rabies vaccine even though I clearly and specifically requested the 1-year rabies vaccine. This was communicated beforehand and ignored. Overall, this visit felt rushed, dismissive, and unprofessional. There was no effort to understand or properly handle an anxious dog, and the environment felt hostile rather than supportive. Veterinary clinics should be safe and compassionate places for animals, especially those who are fearful or reactive, and unfortunately this experience was the complete opposite. I will not be returning and would strongly encourage other owners of anxious or reactive dogs to look elsewhere. Oh and in addition to my experience, a family member of mine also had a very concerning visit at this same clinic. They brought their dog in because the dog had a strong, unusual smell even after being bathed and wanted to rule out any underlying health issue. Instead of performing a proper assessment, the doctor immediately insisted it was the dog's anal glands and expressed them. What made the situation extremely uncomfortable was that both the doctor and the front desk woman repeatedly tried to get my family members to smell the anal gland fluid, even after they clearly stated that the smell they were concerned about was completely different. Rather than listening to the concern or exploring other possible causes, they continued to insist it was the anal glands and focused on trying to prove their point. The dog already has its anal glands expressed regularly, yet there was no effort to properly evaluate other potential health issues or investigate further. My family members ultimately left and took their dog to a different veterinary clinic because they felt their concerns were being dismissed and the situation had become unprofessional and uncomfortable. After hearing their experience and going through my own, it seems to reflect a pattern of dismissive behavior and lack of proper communication and care. Pet owners deserve to be listened to and treated with professionalism and respect when bringing concerns about their animals' health.

On 6/6/25 I brought in my senior dog (doxie mix 17lbs) to check on a lump he had, and they…read moresuggested we also do a senior blood panel as part of an annual checkup. It seemed reasonable so I told them to go ahead. Upon bringing him in, he was acting normally. He was alert and wagging his tail, pulling at his leash, doing all of the normal dog things he does. After being taken into the back for bloodwork for 15 minutes (which felt like way too long), he came back a different dog. He was lethargic, wouldn't stand up, could barely move his head and his gums had lost all of their color (they were white). When I asked the vet (Dr. Dill) what he did to my dog he just shrugged at me, but once he saw his gums had lost all of their color, he became visibly worried and tried giving him some oxygen. After 10 minutes of oxygen it became apparent that he was NOT responding so I grabbed my dog and rushed him to the nearest emergency vet. We spent several hours at the emergency vet while they stabilized him. Once he was stable he was still not acting right and his red blood cell count was down from where it had been when we brought him in. My dog ended up spending 24 hours in the emergency room (totaling over $3500) and is still not fully recovered. The vets at the emergency hospital do not know for sure what happened, but after running all of the tests and observing him for 24 hours, believe it was a chain of events that began due to being overly stressed and having far too much pressure applied during the blood draw that was performed at Foothills. In no world did I ever think that a simple blood draw would almost kill my dog and cost me an additional $3500, but due to the incompetence of Foothills that's how my 6/6 and 6/7 played out. I would never recommend this veterinary clinic to anyone.
