Arizona Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center

Fairly priced (for our visit at least). Kind and Fun staff, the receptionists, Natalie and Dr. Ulrich were all professional, caring and effective in their care. Just listen and be patient peeps! The breakdown and instructions were so clear and understandable. Clean and aesthetic place for pet parents to ease their worries. Such a vibe. Thanks for taking care of our lil charmer Shitzu Shaggy!!

It wasn’t the best experience however, not because of AVECC. Is emergency vet expensive? Yes, yes it is but your pet will get the best care. Everyone was nice and explained in detail our situation and what were our options. They listened and we listened. My pet had to stay over due to a spay that went wrong. Emergency surgery was needed. After, the DR kept me updated on my pet. He suggested my family should come visit. We did! So heartbreaking to see our pet in this condition but the ICU staff were so nice. They allowed us to visit while they worked on other pets. They weren’t annoyed that we wanted to spend as much time with our dog while in recovery. After leaving the ER with my pet, serval trips were made back. My story is too long to write but I want to thank Dr Reeves and the entire staff. I appreciate the care they gave in saving my dog. Dealing with upset and desperate pet owners can’t be easy. It’s been 12 weeks since my dog surgery and she is back to her normal self.

They've saved more than one pet of mine. They're very expensive but my pets are priceless. A few mistakes were made in billing and then I wasn't able to get the fentanyl patches I needed for my dog because the vet who wrote the Rx hadn't renewed their DEA license. However all of that is just clerical stuff that's easily remedied. Another vet rewrote the Rx and I went right back to the pharmacy and got what I needed. When it comes down to your pet's life, these are the people who have the best chance of saving it. I've brought seriously ill dogs in twice and they did a good job with both of them. At the most recent visit I had a very antisocial dog and they still did a great job caring for him. I was shocked when I came to visit him and he wasn't even wearing a muzzle. The vet techs were very kind and comforted him by brushing him and letting him have a stuffed animal and treats I brought. Thanks guys!!! :-)

I can not recommend this vet enough! Several months ago my pup had a severe reaction to some kind of bug bite (persistent vomitting/swollen face/panting and lethargic) and as I carried my lifeless dog into this place I had staff members immediately at my side to help! My pup was taken back immediately for care and I was updated the entire time, the vet staff was extremely kind and even let all my family come back to the room to make sure my pup was ok! They are absolutely outstanding here! The vet listened to my concerns and thanks to all their help I was able to bring my dog home and he is as happy as can be! This is a pic of him now!

Just really want to thank Dr. Hopey and her team for saving my cat’s life. She went above and beyond to explain all of our options, was understanding and empathetic with the decisions my partner and I made, and showed how much she cared for the overall well-being of my kitty in so many ways.
