Reviews of Animal Health Services of Cave Creek (Veterinarian)

Dina R

Came here for the first time due to a slight doggy emergency. Was in and out with the best of care and concern in less than an hour. Can't ask for more than a caring team who loves animals and solves health problems quickly. Much appreciated! Highly recommend AHS!

I called about 7pm one evening not sure if my dog was bit by a rattlesnake. (All I saw was her barking at the snake so not sure since it was dark out).They got me in right away and checked her over for any marks. Luckily she was not bit. Every staff member was extremely nice and concerned for my pup. The vet was fantastic and I felt their charges were reasonable. I was very lucky they were open and I’m so happy to have such great treatment. Thank you

Vet at this location wasn't competent , couldn't help my beautiful German Shepherd. Only care about the money; charged me over 2000 dollar to put her to sleep. I miss her every day. I hate this place so much . If you love your pets please keep them faraway from this horrible clinic. Thanks.

Charged us $550.00 for visit that including 1 pain shot 1 anti nausea shot. and 1 xray.We received super slow service and was way over charged.We normally go to desert hills animal hospital half the price with much better service but they couldn't get us in because so busy.

I had my 6 month old Miniature Schnauzer spayed today! This will be the 2nd pet I have had sterilization procedures completed at this facility and both times I have been very impressed! They staff is always friendly, attentive, and compassionate! They really do care for you pets well being and not the money in you're pocket! I will recommend you to anyone! The service is 100% worth the commute!.. thank you! Ps: this was one of the cleanest pet care facilities I have ever been too!

I managed to bring in all 3 of my pets in one afternoon, for their well visits. I met Dr. Smith who was very responsive, and professional. I am so happy to have a pet clinic so close to my house!

Billy Parcelli

I am a very proud "dogfather" and am so happy I found my forever-vet!! My 2 pups love coming here to see Dr. Ashmore and I have had nothing but the utmost respect from him and all of the staff here. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a vet that actually cares and isn't trying to upsell you at every corner.

Rob Seaver

When one of my doggies decided he wanted to eat a toad in the middle of the night, I didn't know what to do as he was struggling to breath. I found Animal Health Services online and as soon as we walked in the door, they had a team ready to save him. They followed up with the same service on my other puppy who decided to go a round or two with a coyote or two. Watching them work on my puppies when it was an emergency, made us feel like we could / should trust them with their regular care. We've enjoyed every visit and how the staff has gone out of their way to show how much they care about animals, our animals. This, combined with the 24 hour emergency care, made it easy to cancel our monthly well maintenance plan with the big-box vet and move everything over to them.

Black Onyx

I went to get a quarterly bird beak trim and toe nail trim for $40 but they denied me service because i did not want to do one of their yearly check up for $81!!!!. What a scam and such deceptive practice. I wasted $10 worth of gas driving to this place to get a NO for an answer. This is absolutely the worst way to lose a customer, deny service completely because i don't want to pay more. I will never go to this place again. Save your money go elsewhere.

Sasha Sypkens

My cat wasn't breathing too well so I brought him in. The doctor and nurse were very gentle with him. A radiograph was done and within an hour the doctor told me the news. He had to be put down. The doctor and the nurse were very courteous and made the process as painless as possible for both my cat and me. I would highly recommend this place.

max miller

I've been in dogs for 30yrs , this place is AWESOME ! ! !

Matthew Tyler

it would be nice if my dog would stop gettting bitten by rattlesnakes or impaling himself on cacti but since he does these things, I've gotten very good treatment at AHS

Brittney Bathurst

My Cat was treated here 3 years ago for climbing up a cactus, he was treated very well and I felt at home here. I decided to take in what now has become my second child a 2 year old pit bull- dalmatian and she has a love for the outdoors, I took her to Animal Health about four months ago for a UTI that has reoccured every month and multiple visits which nothing was done besides prescribe antibiotics which never seemed to work. During her UTI's I also noticed a limp in her step and favoring one leg over the other, I took her in again and spent a large amount of money to find out that my dog was MISDIAGNOSED with Arthritis. Unfortunately she was not getting any better and I took her into another doctor that treated her with so much love and care. I found out that she not only had a serve kidney infection due to untreated UTI and wrong antibiotics, to then get blood work back that my dog has had Valley Fever untreated for almost three months. I will never go back here for regular care of my animals. I am truly upset that with the money I spent they should have treated in a different manner to find out what really was going on with her.

Austin Peck

Just knowing the quality of veterinary care is in our backyard is comforting. Dr Ashmore you rock!

Michelle Mcvey Haisch

Best vet in all of Arizona!

Tabitha Torosian

Terrific service! The staff is attentive and supportive...love the vets! They are great with our dog...he is high strung and getting older so they treat him quickly to keep his stress level down. Though a bit pricey, they are worth the extra cost.

Clara Pinzon

Recently was employed here, all animals are crammed in kennels and ignored all day, taken out to pee twice a day, no walks, no play time. Animals aren’t treated accordingly, and none of the staff care once your animal is behind the reception counter.

T.J. Walsh

I have been using ahs almost 20 yrs. they care for my kids as if they were their own. we love them and they love us.

Bryce Wilson

Love the folks. The only place we'll trust with our animals. They can literally take care of everything on every Animal.

L R

Trash. They will literally kill your animal with no remorse. Beware!

On Sunday morning, August 31st, at 7:00 AM our little Yorkie had an encounter with a rattler in our backyard and was struck on her head. We live in Desert Hills so we rushed her to Animal Health Services. It's quite a drive but closest to us for emergency weekend animal care. We rang the emergency bell, no answer, rang it again, no answer (this business advertises 24 hour care). A gentleman sitting in their waiting area came and unlocked the door for us. We sat down, worrying about how much time was passing and how it might make the difference whether our little dog would live or die. About 5 minutes later, a young lady came out and told us very apologetically that they were not going to be able to treat our dog--the gentleman's pet was the last the doctor would see before leaving. We begged her to please ask the doctor to reconsider--it was a rattlesnake bite and again she apologized and offered to give us an address for a Scottsdale facility. No explanation...nothing. So much for 24 hour service!!! So much for caring for animals. We took our little Bella to VETMED and she was treated lovingly and successfully by the staff there thank heavens. Shame on the Animal Health Services for falsely advertising 24 hour emergency service and then turning away a pet with need for immediate emergency treatment. I would NEVER recommend this center to anyone who is looking for compassionate, caring emergency treatment for their beloved sick or injured pets. I cannot even imagine what excuse the owner would offer for such an inhumane response.

Shirley Bruggenthies

Today was our first visit to Animal Health Services and it was a wonderful experience for me and my cat Tommy. Vanessa gave us a friendly welcome. Pam and Dr. Wyman took time to get to know us and understand the reason for our visit. Tommy purred like a motor most of the appointment! Also, I greatly appreciated the evening appointment since I work until 4 every day. Thank you!

Scott Tanaka

Great experience here. Friendly people and the vet was great.

Matt Tyler

Oh no! If someone else's dog is bleeding to death, i might have to wait and put dinner plans on hold! Better run to google and complain! In other news, this place is as good of a veterinary clinic as I've ever encountered. Wonderful to have it in our little town

Kelly Burton

AHS provides excellent care for my shy and often anxious Heelers. Thank you for all that you do!

Evelyn Johnson

Thanks to the care provided by Dr Brian Ashmore our fur baby, Aegle, continues to have a happy heart and great days at 15.5 years old.

Dr. Faver and his staff are a shining example of what all veterinary hospitals should aspire to: compassionate, skilled and professional. As our clients, they have shown repeatedly their ability to adapt and grow their clinic, allowing them to help their patients in new and exciting ways. We’re proud to be in business with them.

Traci Genaw

I cannot speak enough praise of the doctors and techs at AHS! I went three days in a row with 2 different girls (pregnant) in distress. The staff handled the dogs AND me with ease and compassion. I will never be able to thank the staff of AHS enough for their professionalism and genuine heart with which they do their job. (We have 14 living puppies between the two mom's thanks to AHS - THANK YOU!!!!)

Greg&Joan Bender

We are so glad these folks are here 24/7. We brought our sick 6 month old Irish Wolfhound in after hours. He was treated for aspiration pneumonia for 3 days in their hospital and received great care during that time. He is home and doing fine now. Many thanks to everyone who took care of Cona.

Michelle Collins

Disclaimer...only giving 1 star because I have to. Took my mastiff in on Thursday late night. She had been vomiting a lot, tons. Went into exam room & the vet tech decided it would be best to take her away from me to exam. Ok...5 minutes later vet comes in says that tech will be back in with treatment plan. Tech comes in and they want to "admit" her since she needs some fluids. No other tests done at this point. I refuse the admittance, to the tune of $2400-$2800, and was treated like crap the rest of the time. They ran a bunch of blood test & did one X-ray, which showed a mass in her stomach. Vet said mass was most likely food...really?? Because my dog has been vomiting uncontrollably since 4:30 pm & hasn't eaten anything. Vet tells me they will have a radiology specialist look at it too, cha ching! Gave her some anti-nausea meds & fluids, then sent us on our way to the tune of $840! They also tried selling me nose butter & canned food! I called Saturday afternoon to see what the specialist saw on X-ray, they hadn't gotten to it yet. Ok... My dog still not eating or pooping on Sunday night, my husband calls & they will need to call back. They called at 12:30 am...we missed the call. Monday morning took our dog to our vet, Desert Hills Animal Clinic, and they immediately took her and kept her (no charge) to observe, run tests, and perform an ultra-sound (Animal Health Services sent them x-ray as a PDF, instead of whatever file type an x-ray comes in). Low and behold the "food" was still in my dog's intestines...It was not food, but a blockage! Long story, dog had surgery, body was toxic, and her intestine was severely damaged. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE. OUTRAGEOUS PRICES AND INFERIOR SERVICE! I contacted AHS and asked for part of my money back and they told me they would contact their insurance company to have them review to see if there was any malpractice...I just laughed!

Lana Farley

Great as long as you want to pay for unnecessary procedures and not help if you don't pay for lots of surgeries

Annette Cline

I love and trust all the vets and staff here. They are very professional and truly care. The place is clean bright and professional. The staff is efficient and the vets are wonderful. I have brought my miniature poodle here since he was 14 weeks old. They have cared for him and saved his life on one occasion.

Nancy Novick

Joey has not been feeling well, last week a visit to Emergency Vet in the middle of the night. Yesterday a follow-up visit to Animal Health Services. Dr. Wyman and Kim were so nice, made the visit easy. Other staff also very sweet. Love the attention to Joey. thanks, Nancy

I moved to Cave Creek in 2002 and wanted a local vet. I have taken multiple dogs to AHS and they are wonderful! The first time I took my current dog for a check up, Dr McKague immediately knew the unique and rare breed he is and understood his needs. I'll be a client for life.

Jen Ice

Josie and I truly LOVE AHS!!! They have taken very good care of both of us over the years. And we also visit the Spa as well, Josie gets her pampering done there, and it lasts and lasts and lasts! Thank you all so very much, you are all wonderful and WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Braden Mure

Rushed my pup here from the lake for an emergency vist, the staff took charge and took care of her right away. Just in general nice to know the staff care just as much about the well being of your pet as you do.

Allan Kuenn

Our dog got a nasty cut right by his eye that nicked an artery. He was bleeding very badly and we rushed him to Animal Health Services. They were very patient and calming as we brought our dog in and he bled all over everything. They rushed him to the back and Dr. Butler sewed him up right away and saved his life. She then came out and explained what his injury was and what they did (7 stitches) to fix him up. She was great. They also called the next day to follow up and check on our dogs recovery.Wonderful work and I can't recommend them enough.

Jacki Jones

So grateful that Animal Health Services are here for my kitties and a special Thank you to Dr Ashmore and Paige - They do a wonderful job !!

Steven Jones

Love this place! I've been bringing my two pups, Popeye and Olive Oil here for the last 5 years and have had nothing but a great experiences. I highly recommend to anyone who cares about their pets.

Phil J

We have taken our puppy here for a few different issues and the vets and vet techs have always been great at explaining what's going on and giving us multiple pricing options and letting us know which one is recommended (and no, it's not always the more expensive option.) Is it a little expensive? Yes, but so is the emergency room. And I would rather not bargain shop for my puppies health.

Raf Kessler

Excellent. My dog had a bad encounter with a cactus on Black Mountain and Dr. Smith and her techs did an excellent job removing the spines from his leg on Christmas Day of all days. They run a clean show. Highly recommended.

Allyssa Olivas

My puppy got a fishing hook stuck in his paw & we were looking for some where to take him. We came across AHS & it was so much of a better experience then we could have ever expected. Great customer service, very reasonable prices & we were in & out. Definitely would recommend this place!

Allie Mathews

Just picked up Fosters ashes. I couldn't be more happy and impressed with Cave Creek animal hospital!!! I was nervous bringing him there having to have to put him down with unfamiliar people and with the circumstances I had no other choice but they were so sincere and so sweet....Today they talked to me for a while asking about Foster and memories. They asked to see a photo of him so I showed them the pictures @rustygatephotography took and they were in love with them and him!!!! Now Foster is pain- free and living a happy new life

Salvatore Ciriello

I have been taking my birds here for years, prior to moving to this area, I would drive over 60 miles each way to a competent avian Vet. Now I'm only 3 miles away from friendly excellent care. Thanks Nancy and everyone at Animal Health Services .

Mellissa Rush

The Lady Mary that I met up with at this place was very rude very cold and not very personable I will never refer this place to another person. I had her rescue a bird and she was very rude at this point I think I was better off keeping the bird myself I hope it survives for somebody that is a animal rescue she sure is cold hearted and rude

Patti Jones

I adopted a sweet Weim last week and wanted to have her checked for a few concerns. From the moment I walked in at 645pm, the staff was kind and attentive. The facilities were spotless as well. Dr. Smith and his assistant took so much time with Mayzie, answered all of my questions and gave wonderful feedback about our routines. We have found our new vet!

Ryoichi Hino

Dr. CB, Dr. DD and business manager are the geniuses to chalk up, 'tear', 'hole', 'crack', or 'dent', that Dr. CB made with catheter, was the complication of the urinary stone. My cat was hospitalized here to have urinary stone surgery. 1. Dr. CB failed catheter and made a 'tear (hole) in the abdomen' while doing her job and caused extended stay in this hospital. 'Tear in the abdomen' was used by D. CB on the phone to me. 2. Dr. DD replaced Dr. CB's failure with 'complication' and helped destroying the evidence (x-Ray Images) which would reveal Dr. CB's responsibility, though Dr. DD admitted in her e-mail that Dr. CB failed. 3. Business Manager JRG determined to pass the buck to the patient and to collect extended stay from the patient. Question: Why this hospital concealed or destroyed the X-Ray images in question? 'X-Ray image that drove Dr. CB panic'. If the assertion 'complication' made by the hospital is right they could disclose the X-Ray images. It's a shame to see someone's lack of integrity. They tried to charge extra amount of over $100 to take blood sample of my cat under the cloak of cat's aggressiveness when I took him again to the hospital to have his blood tested for kidney disorder.

I called them because I thought my conure had parasites. They made sure to get me in the same day. Everyone from the receptionist to Pam to Dr. Wyman was exceptional. Such a caring environment. Dr. Wyman and Pam we're so very good with my bird! I watched people come in picking up their dogs with smiles. The entire staff was impressive.
