Our 15 year old dog recently had to have his spleen and a baseball sized tumor removed. The day before we were set to leave for our family vacation, we found blood in his stool. After preliminary tests, we knew we needed hospitalization and he would need to be medically boarded at least until we knew what was wrong. I spent half a day trying to find anyone who would take him in and be able to offer 24/7 care on almost no notice. That's when we found Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic. Not only were they willing and able to see and accommodate our dog, but they immediately and consistently exceeded every expectation I had about emergency/after hours veterinary care. Everyone I came into contact with (and over his stay and subsequent follow-ups, I have met and spoken with A LOT of their staff) was incredible to work with from the front desk, triage, technicians, doctors -- they were all friendly, kind, and exhibited nothing but care, not just for my dog, but for his humans as well. It is a rare breed these days to find someone who is not just effective as a vet, but can handle the humans as well, and TSVC seems to have ingrained these qualities into their culture! It was hard to leave our Bailey in someone else's care, but by the end of the first night, before I ever left the initial exam, I felt confident that leaving him with TSVC, he was better served than even if we were to keep him at home with us and just bring him in for treatment. Throughout his stay they were very communicative, answered all my questions (2 or 3 times if needed to make me feel better), and I have no doubt he is going to make a full recovery because of the care and skill TSVC provided at every step. We are forever grateful! read less
