After over 20 years and several much loved kitties our last was helped to the rainbow bridge by this wonderful clinic. They made a terrible experience absolutely kind and gentle. Dr. Schneider and the entire staff are simply the best! Thank you all for years of love and care. read more

My multiple dogs always receive EXCEPTIONAL care! We have been using different types of services from Sunrise Pet Clinic for the past 12 years. Our pets are part of my family and we are treated as part of their family as well. The Veterinarians and staff are skilled, genuinely care, friendly read more

Apparently they have simply stopped answering the phone, and do not return calls. They have (had?) some wonderful vets here but if you can't even get through there is no point. read more

We're new to this part of town and asked friends to recommend a veterinarian, and that is how we landed on Sunrise Pet Clinic. We had to wait a few months before we could get our cats in for their annual check-ups, but after the visit, we knew we made the right choice. Our Katie loved Dr. Gonzalez, and she was very patient with Loco. The assistants also were helpful. I very much appreciated them doing the exam and treatment in the room with me which wasn't the case at our prior vet. read more

I was asked for $60 deposit that would be applied to my bill when I brought the dog in for his first apppt. This is actually a good idea: Vets set aside time for your appointment and often people forget, have found another vet in the meantime, or something else takes priority. Very few will call and cancel. I waited 4 weeks, went to my appointment and was not charged. My vet worked with me to keep the final bill for this appointment within my paramenters. read more

Over the years I've had to change vets 3 times. All three were great but Sunrise Pet Clinic is the clear winner. My pups have seen Dr. Olsen and Dr. Gonzalez. Both are thorough, educative professionals. I trust their expertise. Their after visit follow up emphasizes their level of concern and care. read more

This vet clinic has become outrageous with their price gouging My wife took our new dog in for her first visit. $70.00 to see the vet - Ok, I guess that's par to walk in the door. Then $60.00 for Records Set Up and Processing. What the heck. You just have to type some things in the computer and check some boxes. This clinic seems to be taking advantage of its clients. We attempted to have the vet trim our other dog's nails on a visit. Even with a muzzle on, she only scraped 3 of his nails. I understand if she feels doing a proper nail clipping is not in her best interest, but instead of saying "I'm really sorry but I don't feel comfortable trying to clip his nails" and remove the charge from the bill, the service was left on the bill. $30.00 wasted. Unbelievable gouging by this clinic. read more

Three years ago I mentioned my boy had a mass growing on his right rib cage. No xray, biopsy, or aspiration were taken. I was told surgery is hard on a dog this age (9). I blame myself for not doing research and will forever be guilty. Now I'm reading chondrosarcomas (most likely cause of a 3 year primary rib mass) are curable with surgery in early stages. I was not told this. He was never tested. My boy would not be dead now if he received any adequate care. I should have been given this information. I had no idea surgery without chemo was curable. Additionally, Cynthia at the desk was rude while he was dying. I actually had to say to her, "please understand my dog is dying right now." Please avoid this practice. His original vets are retired. read more

Been coming for many years and the staff is competent, courteous, and very knowledgeable. You can trust them with your pet's care and I've thoroughly enjoyed each doctor I've had the chance to meet. 5-star service! read more

We followed Dr Olson to her new work facility because our dog loves her care so much. We are impressed w the techs, the front desk and vets. They are all professional, helpful and timely. We have also seen other vets who very attentive and kind. Highly recommend for your pet needs read more

Just moved to Tucson from Alaska and was very worried about finding a good vet. My worries went away as soon I entered the door. From the reception staff, to the techs, to the vet my visit was top notch! I was informed on everything I was getting charged for and they even broke down prices on specific tests so I know exactly what I was paying for. 10/10!! read more

these people could care less.... I have 2 small dogs (6 yrs old) both from the same litter... wanted to make an appoint for the vet for an annual check up... they won't see born dogs on the same appointment... and the want a 60.00 deposit to make the appointment!... these people only want your money.... don't use them! read more

I called today (10/23/2022) to make an appointment for my sick dog. They are not taking new clients. She said it may be a year or so until they accept new clients. read more

I've written another review about Sunrise, and stand by it. This situation was much tougher. My dog is my family. After Dr. Forrer examined, treated, then diagnosed a lesion on his foot as cancerous, she provided recommendations for oncologists, surgeons, treatments, all of which were way above first class. (Dr. Ryan McCally is a superlative surgeon, and Dr. Carolyn Wood, a talented oncologist.) Dr.Forrer of Sunrise treated Easy with the Western approaches to medicine that I, as a physician, trusted most. She recommended several supplements that noticeably helped my big boy. And--a great rarity anywhere--Dr. Forrer is thoroughly trained in alternative medicine, with a particular emphasis on acupuncture. Acupuncture relieved my pup's pain better than any other technique we tried. Now comes the miracle: our other team vets projected my Rottie's survival time at 4-6 months. That was ten months ago, and he continues to improve. (A few years back, Dr. Forrer treated--successfully--his case of Valley Fever.) I hear often about folks whose animals are scared or refuse to go into the vet's office. My doggie can't wait. He charges for the door while every staff member comes out to love on him. He pushes his way into the lab to find Dr. Forrer. Dr. Forrer and her recommended specialists have saved my big guy's life. Again. What else can I say? read more

We waited almost a year to clear the waitlist -- and it's worth the wait. The staff at this office is just wonderful. Special shout out to Cheryl, who went out of her way to make things easy for us. Office staff is kind and goes the extra mile. 5 stars! Happy to have our pets registered as patients here. read more

Dr. Weintraub, Dr. Radamaker, and Dr. Burgess (alternative medicine) are the best in town! They are truly consummate professionals who are exceptionally compassionate toward your beloved pet and it's "owner." The vet techs and those who work at the front desk are wonderfully competent and contribute to the highest of standards held at Sunrise Pet Clinic. read more

I've called them to see if I could bring in our new puppy, because he is sneezing constantly and seems to have a fever. Shelby, answered the phone and told me that their appointments for new clients was 5 weeks out. Who wants to wait 5 weeks before someone can examine your sick puppy? Not me. I'll take him to a vet who is willing to help. Thanks. read more

I love these veterinarians. They were referred by a friend and came highly rated. I agree. They really care for animals and know their stuff. I take my two Australian Shepherds and my cat here and have had very prompt, on time, visits. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I am new to Tucson. I had to wait a few weeks for my pups to be seen. So worth the wait! Dr. Abbey and Angelica went above and beyond in caring for me fur babies. Dr Abbey was so thorough and addressed concerns I have regarding my aging dog, Denver! He is on some natural supplements and I also obtained CBD oil (NO THC of course) for his separation anxiety. Fish oil for his joints and glucosamine and Chondroitin as well. My pups are quite large and Angelica made sure the coast was clear of other pets so I could exit the building without any doggy drama! Love this place! Outstanding care! If you are looking for a place to take your cats or dogs, look no further!!! read more

A couple of friends go to Sunrise Clinic. I haven't met all the vets but Dr. Radamaker I believe might be the owner of the facility. We just rehomed a Cheeweenie Dog we got from Craig's list and brought our dog to see Dr. R. She was professional and informative. We have had 3 dogs in the past and decided to breakdown our defenses and try again. They add much to your life. The vet techs were wonderful and you can tell they love the pets and their jobs. Very happy so far and look forward to using their services. read more

They care about pets and it shows. Always friendly and easy with my pup. Thoroughly examined her, with owner in room. Great customer service. read more

Sunrise has been my pet clinic since I moved back to Tucson in October 2000. The doctors and team members have helped me raise and/or care for 9 dogs between then and now. I would never go anywhere else. All of the doctors are wonderful but I need to provide heartfelt thanks and commendation for Dr. Janet Forrer who is one of the kindest people I know. Helping a dog "over the bridge" is never easy and she has been so supportive and caring when I've faced this challenge - on multiple occasions, including today. Thank you Sunrise Pet Clinic and Thank you Dr Forrer. read more

Sunrise Pet Clinic does a great job taking care of your pet. Dr. Kovarna and her staff take excellent care of our three Labradors. Our dogs are 12, 11, and 4 months old. Dr Kovarna is great at managing the different life stages all of them. read more

My dog, Abby had a painful, urgent issue come up overnight. The staff at Sunrise was able to fit us in at 9:30 this morning and get her all taken care of. Dr. Holly Burgess is kind, professional, and has a wonderful manner with dogs and people. Abby and I love all the Veterinarians and staff at Sunrise, but most especially Dr. Holly today! read more

Our Havaneese, Murphy, recently was very sick. Sunrise Pet Clinic, Dr's Sally Radamaker & Dr. Abby Kovarna were very accommodating and saw him immediately. Both Dr's have treated Murphy in the past & continue to have the highest standards of care. Murphy spent the day getting hydrated, medicated and observed by the staff. He is now home and doing so much better. They continue to call & see how he is doing. Sunrise Pet Clinic is outstanding from the front desk, techs and Dr's. They are #1 in our book. read more

We are fairly new to Sunrise Pet Clinic. I have had cats all my life and needless to say, have also been to various veterinarians through the years. Dr. Weintraub is amazing! Her exams are the most thorough that I have ever seen. She has incredible insight and kindness. Everyone at the office is helpful. I am sooooo grateful to have found this practice!!!! By far the best clinic that I have experienced. read more

Dr Kovarna is wonderful! I was referred to her by a friend and I couldn't be any happier with the care she and her staff provide! They are very caring, professional and personable! I recently got a new puppy and at 10 weeks he was showing signs that something was wrong, so I took him in. During this exam, Dr Kovarna noticed his bottom canines were not coming in correctly and referred me to a dental specialist. I recently had my appointment with the specialist and he was very complimentary of Dr Kovarna. He said "most vets wouldn't have ever noticed it and kudos to your vet! You have a good vet!". I already felt great about Dr Kovarna, but it was nice to hear another vet praise her! I would highly recommend Dr Kovarna! read more

The doctors are all kind, patient and thorough. Dr. Rademaker is so compassionate and pleasant and her diagnostic skills are second to none. The office staff is efficient and caring and the facility is always very clean. read more

We were traveling through the Tucson area a few weeks ago and our dog had developed severe diarrhea for 3 days, and we decided he needed to see a vet. Sunrise got us in early on the day we called. The receptionists were very nice, efficient, thorough in getting us in their system. Dr. Kovarna saw our dog. Our dog is very afraid of being at a vets, and as a result gets snarly and snappy. They did put a muzzle on him (as our vet at home has to do) but only after coaxing him with treats on to the lift exam table. Worked so much better than what we do at home! (Lifting him on to a stainless steel exam table.) The vet and the assistant were both very gentle and patient with him. I also felt like they gave him a thorough exam to determine that there was not a serious problem. Left with anti-diarrheal and easily digestible food, and he soon got better. The waiting room was filled with food, treats, and toys that were high-quality and not price gouging, which reflected on their concern about their patients. He and our other dog loved the treats used to get him on the exam table so much we bought some. In short, my impression was a well-run, thorough, and caring pet clinic. read more

Caring, efficient and knowledgeable. It doesn't get any better than that. Oh, yes, it does; they're also reasonable cost.

My golden retriever suffered from an oozing and infected "hot spot" and clearly had a fever. I am new to Tucson and called Sunrise Pet Clinic and asked for Dr. Forrer, on the recommendation of a friend, on April 25, 2014. I was told by the receptionist that the earliest available appointment was on May 8! (2 weeks). Initially, I thought she was joking. She also said that the earliest appointment with another vet at this clinic was on May 1st, still a week away. When i explained that my dog was suffering and needed care, she said she would speak to Dr. Forrer and call me back. She did not call until 6:15 pm on April 30, when she told me that the actual availability was in June. Initially, I did not intend to write this review, because I assumed the problem was with the receptionist and not Dr. Forrer. But after the phone call on April 30th, I thought that others should be warned. in the meantime, my dog was seen on April 28 by Sabino Veterinary Care. Because they have limited hours on Saturday and are closed on Sunday, this was the earliest available appointment. But they gave me the name, location, and phone number of an emergency clinic, so that if my dog's condition worsened or her fever spiked, I would have an alternative.The staff and vets at Sabino Veterinary Care are caring and wonderful. Save yourself and your pet and call Sabino Veterinary Care, not Sunrise Pet Clinic. read more

We have been taking our pets to Sunrise Pet Clinic for more than 18 years, since they first opened, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone who asks. From new puppy to end-of-life care for a puppy-mill rescue, Drs. Rademaker and Burgess have always been caring, dedicated vets who care as much for their patient's "owners" as for the patients themselves. We had an appointment within 24 hours for our Maltese, who was exhibiting erratic behavior.. and sadly, that behavior signaled her illness and advanced age. Dr. Burgess spent 90 minutes with my very tearful spouse, patiently explaining treatment options and the prognosis for each. You don't get that kind of attention from your personal physician ~ but you do at Sunrise Pet Clinic. We made the painful decision to end our pet's suffering with dignity, but that decision was fully-informed and ours alone. And a few days later, we received a heartfelt, handwritten sympathy card from Dr. Rademaker and the staff at Sunrise that has helped to ease our loss. A public "thank you" isn't enough. Five "stars" isn't enough. But if anyone out there needs a caring, attentive doctor for their furry or feathered friend, maybe this story will be enough.. I know it is for us. read more

Dr. Rademaker is the best vet ever. We love and trust her with our cat. She is truly a unique vet that cares about her patients. She had proactively called to check on our pets condition multiple times on her personal time off. We have been coming to her the past several months after trying many other vets. She is the first in Tucson that we trust with our cat ... and our usually skittish cat is relaxed with her. We only wish we had found her sooner. We really recommend Dr. Rademaker. We have also visited Dr. Forrer and she is a good vet too. Sunrise Pet Clinic is 10 stars from the waiting room desk staff to the ability to get food to the doctors. read more

We have been going to Sunrise Pet Clinic with our dogs for fifteen years. Our regular vet is Dr. Sally Rademaker but we've seen others on occasion and have always been happy with them. I haven't done comparison shopping and I'm sure there are less expensive places. They are paying for a foothills location and have a large staff of vets, techs and office help. I don't think their pricing is out of line for the quality of service. read more

Dr Rad & the entire team are the best - knowledgeable, conscientious, thorough & compassionate. The front desk & the techs are all as exceptional as the doctors. This is a wonderful place for your pets' care. read more

How fortunate we are to have Dr. Forrer for our beloved dog's "physician." She is so in-tune with her patients and skilled in alternative methods although is equally knowledgeable in allopathy. She really sticks with the Hippocratic oath of "Do no harm," is a person of integrity and intelligence...and, the clinic does not gouge! Very reasonable for keeping our dog healthy. Our family appreciates Dr. Forrer and her staff's practical and compassionate approach. read more

The Vets and staff take excellent care of my senior dog. I have a now 13.5 year old pup with arthritis and a terrible, debilitating fear of storms. They have worked with me to find the right balance of medications and lifestyle changes to support him in his senior years. He was a rescue who came to us at age 10 with a heartbreaking fear of rain, storms, and any loud noises. Other vets recommended sedatives that just seemed to make him sleepy, drunk, but still afraid. the Drs. at Sunrise helped find an rx that calms his anxiety but keeps him functional and alert. Over time, he's become much less anxious and afraid and they've helped him every step of the way. I know my pup couldn't be in better hands. read more

I cannot say enough good thinks about both Drs Rademaker and Weintraub. I took my dogs for years to Dr. Rademaker and now take my cats to see Dr. Weintraub. Both are true gems. They are both kind and gentle with the pets, VERY knowledgeable, and thorough. We just recently took our old guy in to see Dr. Weintraub. She called a few days after the appointment to follow up and to see how he is responding to his new medication and course of treatment. None of the prior vets from other clinics I've taken my pets to in the past have ever personally called me to check on my pets. She and Dr. R are both wonderful. So grateful for this pet clinic! read more

We went there for years with our dogs. We finally left. It is expensive and they really seem to go on fishing expeditions to find things to do to our dogs. The new vet cost less the care seems just as good. read more

I give Dr. Forrer and her staff an A+. The office is friendly, and the staff is proactive and engaged. Dr. Forrer is a vet who has a passion for her work and her expertise is evident. As an owner of a young dog with some health problems, I can say that the service and our experience at Sunrise Pet Clinic is exceeding all expectations. read more
