    I wouldn't trust my boy with anyone else
    Tammy K.

    Dr Bob! Dr. Boooooooooooob! I am SO excited to have found this wonderful veterinarian!! AND to find that he has an equally amazing staff now?!?! I couldn't be happier! I've read a few crappy reviews on this app but please discount their words. Really read between those lines. Some chick was mad they called her to get the $25 fee in advance of her appointment. Oh come on. Getting bent for that tells me she was likely going to be a no-show anyway. In fact, all of the bad reviews I could find were about money. This isn't a charity. They have to keep the lights on, just like any other business. But let me tell you, their prices are WAY less than most other Vets in Tucson but still, the service and care they give our furbabies is FAR and away better. What do you want?! An incredibly competent vet that has sweet and caring staff who will actually love your pet? Cool. Me too. Then I suggest you become this location of Pet Doctors newest client. Period.

    Lilly 1 month before I took her to Dr Bowers

    Revising last post - it was Dr. Bowers. Never take your cat to Dr. Bowers. If a cat isn't eating you should check her gums, not just the lower part. My cat Lilly wasn't eating much so I brought her in April 19, 2024. $95 prepay turns into %500 after you go for the bait. $500 for bloodwork, x-rays, and another $18 for Hills prescription. Dr. Bowers said she had early kidney failure and prescribed Hills Diet. A no-brainer for a 15 year old cat. But it was a cyst on her gum. She got weaker over the next 8 months but did not want to pay another $500. I put her down January 29. She was so miserable, hiding, stopped eating the last 2 days. I found a vet to make the house call. After he left I discovered she had a cyst on her gum. All she needed was for that cyst to be lanced. She was up in years so easy to say early stages of kidney failure and think you have done your job, Dr. Bowers? The last few months of her life she was in pain. She should have been chasing balls instead of enduring pain every time she tried to eat.

    Stuff from Matcha's stomach

    If I could give this place 1,000 stars I would. They saved my cat's life! Dealing with foreign object obstruction with my kitten was a nightmare, PetDoctor always made me feel like I had someone there. I called Pet Doctor as an entirely new customer and luckily they were able to see me the same day. My 5 month old kitten had a fistful of foreign objects in her stomach and very quickly they helped me understand the situation. Dr.Garner, Dr.Bob and the whole team took such incredible care of my (very fiesty) kitten through X-Rays and surgery. Additionally, I had Covid during the entire ordeal and they took the proper precautions as well as consistently made me feel included and part of the process (even though I was stranded outside in my car.) I am also a college student and they always made sure to include me on the pricing and helped me find the most affordable options possible. Dr.Bob especially helped me out with this. I am so entirely grateful for them, their patience and expertise. You saved us! My matcha is happy, healthy and so am I. I owe it to the wonderful staff. I plan to bring my pet here if I run into another issue, thank you!

    Our fur babies, on the way to the vet.

    I'm so disappointed in Pet Doctor for selling out to a large corporation. It absolutely ruined this practice. We had no idea when we made an appointment for an annual checkup and vaccinations for our two dogs that the business was completely different. We first had to pay a $25 deposit for each dog when we made the appointment. Weird but ok. Our bill for checkups and vaccines was a total of $351 for both dogs, which is much higher than it used to be. We skipped nail trimming because the price went from $10 to $56 and we also skipped anal gland expression because the price tripled. We were planning to make an appointment for our male dog to get neutered but they quoted us a price of almost $500. No thanks. We will be going elsewhere for that and all our other veterinary needs from here on. They couldn't even manage to get the age of one of our dogs right, even though we had been bringing him there since he was a pup. They had him listed as 15 months instead of 6 1/2 years old. Even his original owner brought him there, so he's always been in their system. I will say that the vet was extraordinarily kind but the assistant wasn't helpful with our dogs AT ALL and the front desk staff seemed indifferent. I hope the vet goes to another practice because this one is now all about the money.

    Zoey- patient of Pet Doctor
    Kayla W.

    I came to Pet Doctor to look into a possible teeth cleaning/removal for my senior pit bull, Zoey, but upon asking some additional questions about some of her behaviors, Dr. McWaters encouraged me to allow her to grab some blood work and run some tests. It turns out that Zoey's kidneys were acting up. Dr. McWaters sent us home with some antibiotics and a recommended diet change and has us come back in two weeks. Zoey perked up and gained several pounds by that visit, but her kidneys remained the same. We tried to antibiotics for two more weeks along with some supplements to see if there's be any change. Unfortunately, Zoey was unable to improve and her health began declining. We had to make the decision to say goodbye to her on 5/4/2023. Dr. McWaters was there once again to go through the process of euthanasia with us as well as a fabulous tech. Although Zoey has passed on, I am thankful to the Vet and staff of this location for giving me just a few more weeks with my beloved girl. Thank you all for everything that you do

    RUN FAR AWAY!!

    I AM BAFFLED ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE GOOD NAME "pet doctor ". This used to be extremely financially inviting and friendly. Everyone knew it was a comforting place when we would have to take our animal companions whole being financially strapped. The drs had sincerity and empathy when taking care of our pet. THAT WAS THEN...... since then there has had HUGE changes and alot of staffing issues. Everyone knows that it is hard to work for a crooked company. This week I finally went in because after leaving 5 msgs and multiple calls the past two weeks still nothing from this newer company. My normal scheduled maintenance went from $19 (anal glan expressio) last year to over $110 today!!!!???? AND EACH and EVERY time you come in for ANYTHING there Is a $68 fee, across the board..... How sad!!!!! I'm heart broken. Who was once a go to place is now a HARD PASS place.

    What a joke , ridiculous

    Would you recommend them for surgeries on dogs?

    A while back I was thrilled to have found this place. it was affordable and I was treated alright while there. My dog has had surgeries there. But I am now changing because of their lack of availability to answer the phone! Somethings changed.

    What time do they stop taking walk ins?

    Never aware of walk-ins.... Might help if they would answer the darn phone.

My dog was on the incorrect usage until I verified with another vet the CORRECT dosage. This vet fired me and my 3 dogs in the middle of treating them for major medical disorders. I believe she did this because she was not experienced enough to treat them properly. I found error after error. She's an unethical practitioner. She is high strung and very insulting. She takes 100% of your money (she's one of the most expensive vets in Tucson) but offers only 50% or less care. And she does NOT care for her patients nor their families. She refuses to answer questions like dietary needs or tests and procedures that need to be done. She misdiagnosed and mistreated all 3 of my dogs. I would not use Kayla Boyer she is terrible and has really gone downhill over the years. She's nasty and refuses to answer important questions because she lacks capability and knowledge. I have found so much better since she let us go. It was a door that was much needed to open for the betterment of our healthcare for our animals. Blood riddens speedway vet hospital.

A different veterinary Dr. Recently, my senior dog had a bit of a health emergency. The young vet was brazenly arrogant, and my entire body felt anxious when dealing with her. She made a threat to report me and have him taken from me if I did not vaccinate him, prior to first checking to make sure he was ok. It was maddening. His immune system was already taxed and he's been rapidly going down hill since. She actually refused to give me any vaccine information and I believe in my soul she actually misled me to the type of vaccine he received. He nearly died a few days later. He was not a candidate. He needed care and attention, and instead was received coldly and cruelly. It was an absolutely disconnected and strange experience. It left my friend and I horrified. This place is a money hustle and their new young vet lacked kindness and empathy. It was a dark experience. We have since found a lovely vet to assist with his recovery, who is cordial and kind... and most of all puts us all at ease. Encanto, you may want to make sure your Vets actually like animals or can at least pretend to care about each animal without bias or judgement: I'd give this place a 0 for medical care, however, the front desk staff has always been kind and accommodating. Suggestion: perhaps don't make threats to a loving pet owner with a senior dog they love with their whole soul, in a crisis. Just start there. Integrity, transparency and decency go a long way in life and business.

Dr. Benitez did 3 needle biospsies and 4 slide smears to determine whether the mass was of concern or not. Dr. Benitez said he'd be able to get me the results of the slides that day or within a short period of time. During the 2 weeks I awaited that promised call, I called several times to talk to him and was finally told that he works only 1 or 2 days per week. I expressed my frustration as I thought he or your office staff might have led with that. When he called, two weeks later, he said he didn't find anything on the slides. He also informed me I needed to pay to have the needle samples sent to the lab ( I was shocked that no one had contacted me earlier) I paid and he told me they'd take a few days to get back. After a week, I called again and was told Dr. Benitez was not working that day and asked to talk to the manager (who was extremely rude and unhelpful) but she said the results were in (no one had called me). I told her to have another DVM call me with the results and Dr. Anne called me to tell me the good news was that the samples were not cancerous. I've now taken my cat to a reputable surgeon and the results are that my cat has Subcutaneous Hemangiosarcoma. The mass was cancerous! I paid nearly $600.00 and waited 3 weeks from my initial visit only to receive erroneous results.
