What a sensational veterinary clinic! A few months ago our family vet of 20 years closed abruptly and we researched a few well rated spots in Tucson. We came across Desert Hills and they got us in immediately. Our dogs were behind on vaccinations and needed their nails trimmed. We were so impressed with the staff, and Dr. Kaufman is outstanding, and is so passionate about his profession. My husband and I were also really pleased he checked each dog thoroughly and verbalized the exam so we knew exactly what was happening. The space is petite, clean, and comfortable with lovely art hanging all around. The entire visit was easy and both dogs were very happy. Also, their prices are comparable to other clinics and they assisted us with quotes for future health issues, so we know the cost, which was greatly appreciated! We are definitely looking forward to going back again with our dogs in tow. read more

See all

What a great Dr and staff!! Friendly and knowledgeable What a sigh of relief to have finally found a permanent "family" veterinarian!! read more

This is a truly wonderful practice. The doctor and staff are all incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful. My husband and I have had a rough summer with our animals. So when our youngest cat got sick this past week, we were beyond stressed and overwhelmed. Dr. Kaufman stayed open late for our appointment and he was thorough when giving our girl her exam. Both his wife at the front desk and his assistant were amazing. Everyone is so considerate and accommodating. They listened when we explained our situation, they were respectful and didn't push unnecessary expenses. They were understanding, honest and encouraging. I'm so grateful they took the time to help our little lady. Thank you Desert Hills!! read more

Dr Kaufman is a great vet! He's knowledgeable treats my pets well treats me well. I hope he never retires!

Dr. Kaufman has been the veterinarian to our pets for 23 years. In that time we have had 9 cats (not all at the same time) and 1 dog. He was instrumental in detecting the internal damage after a car hit one of our cats. Sent us right away to the vet hospital so he could get treated. That's what I appreciate about him, he takes his time with our fur babies and explains what he is doing every step of the way, is honest, knows his limitations (will refer out as needed) , and always give us options of care. Sennuy (office manager) has always been pleasant, greets you with a smile and never seems to forget the little things about our pets. Carla has been the vet tech since the beginning - patient and caring. I just can't say enough about the staff and the clinic. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Kaufman is great! Very kind and compassionate. Taken my pets here for many years!!

dr kaufman is passionate about animals. he explains everything in great detail, sometimes way more than you need to know but it's nice to know how knowledgeable he is. the staff is friendly. read more

We are from out of town. DHPC is Not taking new clients at this time (1-3-23) and therefore would not see my old girl (dog) for a wellness checkup. Unfortunately they did not leave a referal so it's back to the drawing board. The other reviews indicated that if we could have seen Dr. Kaufman, he would've been a great choice. read more

The whole staff is amazing. Dr. Kaufman takes the time to get to know our dogs, showing great care and gentleness with our frightful dogs. I highly recommend them! read more

I have received absolutely great service from Desert Hills pet clinic thus far from routine shots to wellness visits. Dr. Kaufman has come out each time explaining what was going on with my dog and or if I had any further questions for him. It's a small family owned clinic and I like that you see the same doctor, vet tech, and receptionist each time you come in. I have to give a huge shoutout to them today 06/22/2021. I called concerned about some tummy issues my dog was having and asked what they recommend doing or if they could Rx her some medication. I received a call from the front desk back saying Dr. Kaufman was able to get some medication together for my dog and it was ready for pick up. Huge sigh of relief. Thank you all for going above and beyond for your patients. read more

Our vet, Dr. Michael Kaufman, Desert Hills Pet Clinic, and his wife, Sennuy, are truly amazing, caring people. He's been our vet from the day he saved a dying kitten's life 26 yrs ago to seeing so many of our furbabies across the rainbow bridge, including Ahsoka yesterday. He made a paw print for my youngest daughter just because... Our story begins with me driving down Oracle Road, my oldest daughter was in the car, and at Magee, I see this tiny black kitten had been hit in the middle of the road, and sadly, he's pure black, it was close to Halloween, and probably some asshat's sacrifice. I flipped a uturn, parked in a turn bay, stopped oncoming traffic, jumped out of my car, grabbed him, put him in my oldest daughter's lap, and went to Ina and Oracle where there was an ER vet back then. Michael worked there then and whether I was paying or not, he saved this little kitten's life. Well, I paid the bill and took lucky, soon to be named Munch home. He was hit in the head, so he walked in circles for a long time, and had grandmal seizures. A life of medication to control his seizures, and love, he lived to 13, and when that final seizure struck when meds stopped working, Michael helped him across his rainbow bridge. Michael was at Rosemont for part of Munch's life then, and I did the drive any time I needed him! Munch, well the first time he gained partial sight back in one eye finally, he started chowing on everyone's toes lol The Kaufmans have been there through countless animals of ours over the years with complete compassion, caring and love of animals! Sennuy, I hope I spelled your name right, lol, it's been years. You both make your services the best ever and I always enjoy our conversations! From my home then in Catalina, to Michael's places of work at Ina to Rosemont to Oracle and River now, and I live the rural side of Marana near Red Rock now, you follow the best anywhere! Cheers to you both read more

Dr. Kauffman is a fantastic veterinarian. His office feels like a family practice - small and clean, not flashy, friendly staff, and comfortable. Just like I like it. I recently moved to the area and had to find a local vet to update my pug dog's shots. I also had a cat that was old and very sick, and knew I would need his services soon. I stopped in for an estimate on vaccinations for my pug dog, and asked about euthanasia for my cat (some time in the future). The receptionist was very kind, friendly, and gave me printed estimates, with line item detail of the vaccinations, office visit, etc.. A girl after my own heart. I made an appointment for Buster's vaccinations a week or so out. Before I could take my dog for his vaccines, my cat made a turn for the worst. I called them and they were able to get me in within 24-hours, and I think even stayed late to take the appointment. (I know the Doc's schedule was overbooked because he was heading toward vacation.) I can not express to you how wonderful Dr. Kauffman and his assistant were during the process. He took his time, did not rush anything, explained everything, and they were so caring and comforting. It is always difficult to let go of a pet, and the Desert Hills Pet Clinic made the process just a little easier for me. I can not thank them enough. Remember that appointment for Buster? I took him in to the office the next day. Dr. Kauffman gave him a great exam, very thorough, recommended area-appropriate vaccines and prevention, and was very knowledgeable about his breed. Buster is on a diet to loose some weight, and overall, in pretty good shape for an old boy of 8 years or so. Desert Hills Pet Clinic is my new vet. read more

Dr. Kaufmann is the best!! I use to go to Banfield, and realized that the care my dog was receiving from them was terrible. I stopped by a vet close to where I lived, they were booked and recommended Dr. Kaufmann. Well there aren't enough good things to say about Dr. Kaufmann. He is so knowledgeable, and doesn't suggest anything unnecessary for the purpose of profit. The staff is always so kind and so helpful. Dr. Kaufmann's wife manages the front desk and is awesome. They are true animal lovers and want what is best for your pet. They don't sell gimmicks or lies, but honesty and true concern for you pets well being. Dr. Kaufmann is the only vet for me!! I have recommended him to both my sister and mother, and pretty much anyone who has a pet or has inquired about an excellent veterinarian. This message approved by Zoe and Orson (pug). hehehe read more

Dr. Kauffman is the best vet that we've found in Tucson. Him and his team were extremely helpful when it came to diagnosing our dog with nose mites. They made sure that everything was okay and worked with us to find the lowest-cost option that would still have the same effect since our budget was low. I would 100% recommend Desert Hills Pet Clinic to anyone, it is worth the drive no matter which side of town you reside in. read more

I've been taking my fur family to Desert Hills Pet Clinic for over 10+ years. They are compassionate, informative and have great customer service. read more

Thank goodness for Dr. Kaufman, his wife Sennuy, and their vet techs. We have quite the zoo of animals (a blind Pomeranian and three cats); these little guys are our family, so we were very particular about finding the right vet for us when we moved to Tucson. Dr. Kaufman is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. We have had some difficult, challenging pet ailments to handle since we arrived in Tucson, and he has gone above and beyond to offer guidance and medical care more than any other vet has in the past. Moreover, his attention outside of the office is incredible. When our kitten was sick, Dr. Kaufman wrote up emails with lab results over the weekend and made phone calls to make sure we had all the information available, and that we had the best plan possible. We felt as at ease as possible as we could given the tense situation, and that was all thanks to Dr. Kaufman. Nothing but good things to say about this amazing place. We love them. And, our pets are tolerate being there pretty well, too! read more

Dr. Kaufman and everyone in the clinic are very skilled. We have taken our dogs there for over 12 years and have always been satisfied with every diagnosis and treatment Dr K. Comes up with. I would recommend this vet for all things dog, easy or hard to figure out. read more

This is a one of a kind practice. Dr Kaufman and his wife are amazing. You don't find a practice like this often. I can't say enough about the care at this facility. I highly recommend this vet office. read more

This place is great. I brought in my new rescue and this was my first visit to this place. I had limited paperwork, but from it, Dr Kaufmann called up to Phoenix where he was rescued from and got the rest of my dog's history, which turned out to be a huge help. Amazing. Just a small office vibe, all so friendly, and they really know their stuff. Oh, and I knew I was in the right place when Dr Kaufmann comes in for the first time and introduces himself as Michael, no flashy doctor stuff. Just wonderful all around. read more

My dog was really itchy and in need of her vaccinations. I looked for a vet that was close by the house that I could get her into the same day. I was concerned that she might be having an allergic reaction to a new food I was trying with her. The staff was very thorough in asking questions about her condition. She was a little scared about being around new people but they gave her several treats and she calmed down some. She got her vaccines and they prescribed some oil to add to her food and I picked up some Benadryl to give her in addition to the oil. She is clearing up nicely and I have a new vet! All services were given a prior written estimate which I liked. I don't like surprises at the vet.... or anywhere else for that matter. read more

Dr. Kaufman, his wife Sennuy & his staff are absolutely wonderful. I've seen quite a few vets in Tucson & Dr. Kaufman is by the greatest. He spends more than enough time with his patients, answers all of your questions & will never do anything that isn't necessary for your pet. Dr. Kaufman is very knowledgeable & caring, I could not recommend a better vet. I am so grateful to have met him & his wife, they take great care of our dogs. If you're looking for a vet HE IS THE ONE TO GO TO! I always recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Great clinic along with great services. Performed wellness check on my pup. Everything looked great after an in depth evaluation. My pup Luna is a new patient there and Im sure she enjoyed her visit with Dr. Kaufman and recommends this clinic to all the other pups. Knowledgeable doctor, courteous staff members. Five stars! This clinic is a keeper. read more

I've brought my dog Tanner here twice and the staff is wonderful. Tanner is a very anxious dog and Dr. Kaufman spends as much time as is needed to calm Tanner down and make sure the appointment isn't traumatizing and is a positive experience instead. The rest of the staff are very warm and helpful and seem to truly care about each pet and greet each customer by name. I couldn't ask for better care and would absolutely recommend bringing your pets here. read more

The most wonderful experience ever. We are from Safford AZ and was down for a visit. They treated my dog like a princess. Complete exam and we took her in for eye care. He found a potential problem and gave suggestions. I think I will wait for my vet care when we come here. read more

Dr. Kaufman is the best, along with his staff. My 5 month Weimaraner was being neutered and and umbilical hernia. The Dr. Found two baby teeth that needed pulled. X-rays showed a tooth chip at the bottom of the picture. He took many X-ray 's until he found it embedded and healed over in her lip. Dr. Kaufman is very thorough and a perfectionist. Dr. Kaufman has been taking care of my dogs for over 15 years. Now with the new puppy looking forward for another 15 years. read more

Dr. Kaufmann is also a great small animal vet. Our rats, Yuki and Sugar, have been to Dr. Kaufmann's office twice for viral infections and a sore foot. He was very respectful and concerned. He did not recommend costly procedures. He phoned a week later to see if the rats were doing better! I highly recommend him to any rat lover! read more

Dr Kaufmann and his wife (manager of the clinic), are the most caring and considerate people I have had the pleasure of meeting in a long time. I have been going to Desert Hills Pet Clinic since my 9 yr old American Bulldog was a puppy. I have always been very happy with the care my dog has received. Today I found out just how caring and selfless they are. My 170lb dog had surgery, it went well. However, Cookie was a bit unsteady during recovery. Dr Kaufmann and his wife took the time to make sure we got home safely and that Cookie was ok and could make it to his bed safely. Dr Kaufmann pretty much lifted my big dog out of my car! These are really good people! I can't even begin to express just how thankful I am. read more

This is as good as it gets . Clean ,fair and friendly is the key to this business . I have been to many vets who overbook or run you in and out like cattle , not this one . Dr Kaufmann is the kind of doctor you would want to be treated by yourself . The knowledge he has about whats new on the market and explaining how to look for symtoms yourself is incredible compared to what I have seen . I highly recomend this vet to anybody that wants to educate yourself and have a easy vet appointment . read more
