East Valley Animal Hospital

This place is absolutely amazing beyond words!!! The staff, the doctors, everyone is a true sweetheart. Unfortunately my first time with them, was to put my dog to rest. But the compassion, respect, patience and love they provided made the situation so much better! They even sent me a personalized card in the mail. With signatures and messages from all the staff. It was truly overwhelming how much they care! Love this place!!

Have been coming here for years and they have always taken great care of our dogs.

Our experience yesterday with an end of life appointment for our dog was horrific. This is the 4th time we've had to say goodbye to a dog, so we definitely know what to expect. To start, the tech came in and asked, "So what's going on?" This was disturbing to have to explain yet again considering this office is the one who has been running tests and determined our dog was having not only liver failure but heart failure as well. Regardless, we explained yet again what was going on. We were very specific in the fact that we have already had our time with him while he is coherent to say goodbye and we didnt want/need time with him after he was sedated before the Dr came in to give him the final meds. VERY SPECIFIC. That isn't how it went, and as a result, not only did we have a horrific experience, but the last 10 minutes of Peteys life were stressful. They took him back for a catheter and brought him back in the room for sedation and the Dr was supposed to immediately come in for the final meds. Petey was sedated and it immediately took effect which is normal. He was relaxed for a good 3 to 4 minutes laying in our arms. After this time he started to fight the sedation and was flopping his head around and trying to stay awake. About 10 minutes passed from time of sedation before the Dr came in. Then yet again the Dr tried to explain the process to which I stopped him and asked him to please proceed because we had asked for this to happen back to back and because it didnt Petey was fighting sedation and was no longer calm and peaceful. He did stop explaining and proceeded to administer the meds however because Petey was fighting the sedation he wasn't relaxed so when the Dr gave him the meds his head fell very hard on my shoulder and it was a horrific experience to feel that but more importantly knowing he wasn't relaxed like he should have been and all of our other dogs were during this end of life experience was heartbreaking. Needless to say I am so disappointed in how it went. We would have had no problem waiting for the Dr to be ready and then doing sedation and final meds however they did not honor our request and as a result this was Peteys end of life experience.

Dr Mafara has treated 4 of our dogs throughout the years even prior to owning his own practice. He is very knowledgeable. We trust both vets Dr M and Dr Connolly and they have taken care of my 2 heeler sisters since they were pups. The rest of the office staff and vet techs are great and they all care about their clients/patients. Ty for taking good care of our previous girls and our current girls (for the past 8 yrs of their crazy injuries). Also get the dental cleaning yearly on both dogs and couldn't be happier. Dr Connolly is right where she needs to be. Ty for all your guidance and knowledge in helping for the care for our girls.

Been coming here for years. Love the friendly staff and follow up via text to see how my dogs are doing after their visit. Reasonable pricing to keep my furry family members healthy 🐕 👍
