She started drinking excessively, urinating in the house, shedding and panting excessively. Dr. Winters tested her for everything possible and he was so nice through all of that while being aware of the cost. All test have come back good and now we are on to internal medicine to see if they can help. Dr. Winters has been great through this very frustrating process. My other dogs have seen the other vet Dr. Wheeler and she is also amazing especially with my very anxious dog. We have been to 2 other vet offices in the 4 years we have been in this area and Phoenix Animal Hospital has been the best by far.

Our most recent visit was unplanned and I felt it was emergent. I loaded my fur baby into the car and headed straight to the office. I was expecting the worst case scenario, but hoping for the best. Dakota (Front Desk Coordinator/ Miracle Worker) has been consistently kind, compassionate and always upbeat and welcoming over the years. This visit was no different. Dakota is very calming and compassionate. Even though it was an extremely busy day of surgeries and scheduled appointments, Dakota managed to plea on our behalf and was able to fit us in for a "drop off appointment" for just $70 (NOTE: This is extremely generous considering the circumstances; about the same a the cost of an annual exam). I agreed to the necessary x-rays and signed off on the quoted range for what was the best case scenerio: Two x-rays + the medication/procedure to induce vomiting (I recall it being a range of $323-$520 something) *fingers crossed* Even with such a tight schedule, Dr. Glenn Winters himself called me within ~1hr and told me the "good news". My pup did not swallow an object as I suspected, but rather had a case of "Dog colitis". l had to look it up. Dr. Winters is very confident that they only needed to take a single x-ray and my pup needed 2 medications to soothe the inflammation of his bowels; I was able to pick him up and take him home right away. I was hopeful, yet skeptical that the severe symptoms (sudden blood coming out of rear, some vomiting, no eating for 24hrs, becoming lethargic) were so easily diagnosed. Dr. Winters did not require blood work, no extensive lab panel(s), no overnight fees, no extra fee-fee, very straight forward. The final bill was MUCH LESS than originally estimated. He was exactly right on the diagnosis. Damn, this Dr. has a real gift when it comes to animals. This place Under promises and OVER DELIVERS each and every time. 10/10. 5-stars for Yelp, but when a place is consistently 5-stars, you just hafta give them proper credit. I picked my pup up right away, I brought him home and force fed him his 2 pills and watched him like a hawk for the rest of the day. There has been an almost immediate improvement in his condition after administering the 1st doses. Wow, just wow. Thank goodness for Dr. Winters, I honestly don't know what I'd do without his EXPERTISE :D

Dr. Davies does a great job of explaining the procedure and what is to be expected after the surgery. Since we have been through this once already we were ready for what was to take place. Once the surgery was completed we were given a very well written set of instructions. All of the medications listed and when and how to administer them. Nothing g confusing or out of order. Every thing is going well. We are a week into the healing process and so far our dog is doing well. The medication is a tremendous help. She seems to be more comfortable than we expected and can get around pretty well on her other three legs. We're able to keep her sedated enough to prevent unwanted activity at this point. I feel like we are on our way to a great recovery. We would definitely recommend Northstar Veterinary Surgery to anyone in need.

This has happened in a different context each time we come in on three separate occasions, making me wonder only one thing...why I am stupid enough to keep coming back to such a rude and unprofessional vet. Best advice I can give: find someone else.

The vet should have said it was okay to wait. I've since worked with vets much wiser and now know the process is supposed to be smooth and gentle. I write this so they might learn something. If a cat and owner are not ready or seem highly confused, tell the owner it's okay not to proceed. I would have gladly paid the fee and waited until my cat and I were ready. This traumatic experience has haunted me for years. Here's the kicker. This vet was not my normal vet. She knew nothing of my cat's medical history. She just seemed in a rush to do it and leave.

Have better customer service when you can pick up a phone and say "hey is this a quick question, or I know you have been on hold, just a little bit longer" terrible front desk etiquette and this is not the first time I have experienced this.

I made sure my dog did not stay after group daycare hours so he wasn't put there. Overall I was happy with my daycare experience and would use them again for this service!

Then on Monday Beth took over. After month's of medicines, Arlo is now back to his barking, happy self. You know a vet is kind when your dog runs to the vets front door and can't wait to get inside! We are forever grateful to Beth, Jennifer and her crew. As long as we live in the Rogue Valley, she will be our vet.
