I must be fair and say that UVH is very thorough. They leave no stone un-turned when it comes to your pet's health.

Riley & Me 2/19/2015

I wholeheartedly trust University Animal Hospital (UAH) and its staff with my two dogs, Riley, an Irish Red & White Setter, and Storm, my recently adopted Siberian Husky. Since moving to Tempe in July 2014, I have dealt with four of UAH’s veterinarians and ALL have been extremely competent and totally professional. \r \r After moving here, I “googled” all the veterinarians in the Tempe area in order to find one for Riley. I chose UAH because of the large number of veterinarians on staff, their qualifications, and the fact that UAH is open 7 days a week. It’s a good thing that I chose UAH because health-wise for Riley, it has been an extremely tough seven-month period. Without the great veterinarians at UAH, his problems would have been exacerbated. Let me explain.\r \r Before I moved to Tempe, Riley had experienced some swelling on his snout. On some days, the swelling was pronounced, while on other days it could hardly been seen.

It’s a good thing that I chose UAH because health-wise for Riley, it has been an extremely tough seven-month period. Without the great veterinarians at UAH, his problems would have been exacerbated. Let me explain.\r \r Before I moved to Tempe, Riley had experienced some swelling on his snout. On some days, the swelling was pronounced, while on other days it could hardly been seen. My previous veterinarian could not identify the cause of the swelling. When it re-appeared after moving here, I took Riley to UAH. The problem was immediately identified – Riley had two deteriorating canine teeth that required root canals and crowns (he now has “bling” in is mouth). \r \r Then in December, Riley and I were attacked by two loose pitbulls. Unfortunately, Riley got the worse in the attack. I immediately took Riley to UAH, and Dr. Naig quickly stabilized Riley and prepped him for surgery, which was successful. In all, Riley received approximately 25 stitches, and had to wear the “collar of shame” for about two weeks. I took Riley in for three follow-up visits, including removal of his stitches, which were performed at no additional cost. \r \r I can report that Riley has recovered nicely from both issues, and he is back to his healthy and exuberant self, which I thank the staff of UAH for. \r \r Therefore, I highly recommend UAH for your veterinarian needs. Your pets could not be in better hands\r \r Regards,\r \r Thomas F. Bell\r Tempe, Arizona more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/13/2014

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. We absolutely love taking our dogs here and wouldn't take them anywhere else. Dr. Reading is AMAZING and has been so wonderful to us. We had to rush our boxer in one night when he was extremely sick. We have been battling and unknown illness with him and he was at an all time low. The staff got us in and back into a room right away. Dr. Reading was very helpful with going over what our pup was going through and the different avenues we could venture in regards to a diagnosis and treatment. The staff is extremely friendly, the facility is always clean and in order and the doctors are hands down amazing. Now Lincoln and his sister Cadi are regular patients and can't wait to go see their friends at University Vet Hospital. more

Highly Recommended! 3/31/2013

This place is wonderful! \r \r We found out that our puppy had luxating patella and needed surgery on her knee (one for now, eventually both). We did some research and found that it is very costly. I called University Animal Hospital even though they were in Tempe (we live in N Phoenix) because they had gotten excellent reviews online. As it turned out, they were also the least expensive option for Luna's surgery. Dr. Koch had wonderful reviews so we decided to meet with him and decide if we felt comfortable getting her surgery done there.\r \r Dr. Koch was excellent - way beyond my expectations. I have been to many vets and he is by far the best I have ever encountered. He is extremely kind and understanding and wonderful with our puppy. He explained exactly what would be done, why it needed to be done and made it simple and easy to understand. He was very upfront about everything and even though we were told by a prior vet that she needed all these extra tests, Dr. Koch said we did not. more

Even after, he called us a couple of times a week to check on her and was always available to answer questions, even on weekends. He always returned our calls very quickly.\r \r I highly recommend University Animal Clinic and specifically Dr. Koch to anyone. It is worth the drive for us and we will not be taking Luna anywhere else from now on. more

I recently brought my cat Princess in to University Vet because he wasn't feeling well. The staff and the doctors were great from the moment I walked in. The facility is very nice and clean. I felt comforted to know that I had such wonderful people looking after my cat, trying to find out what was wrong so that he could feel better fast. I've never been happier with a veterinary hospital until I came to this vet hospital. more

I love this Vet hospital!! I have been 5/3/2012

I love this Vet hospital!! I have been going here for 15 yrs and all of my pets are very well cared for! I have seen many of the Veterinarians there and they all are compassionate and obvious animal lovers!! I have used the boarding area as well and find it to be clean and the staff very detail oriented! When I come in for a visit the staff up in the front are nice and friendly...I could not imagine going any place else...this vet hospital has been there for me through so much and because of them my pets are happy and healthy!!!

Wouldn't go anywhere else 4/25/2012

I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. The Veterinarians at UAH are fantastic. My dogs have been treated by many of them for various reasons and each one of them has been knowledgeable, kind and caring. My dogs Shadow and Snickers have been seeing Dr Koch for many years. He treats them with more care and compassion than any human doctor I have known. He listens, he explains and he calls to check up on them even on his day off. My dogs just love him and for my little Mr Attitude Snickers that is saying a lot. We've gone through a lot and still are but Dr Koch has made it easier to handle, thank you. My Rusty sees Dr Ware. He is also amazing. He gets right down on the floor and puts my nervous Rusty at ease. Rusty has been seeing Dr Ware for years, he too calls to follow up. I have to say thank you to Dr Naig who cared for Snickers in the hospital. THANK YOU UAH! more

Best Veterinarian Ever 3/16/2012

I have been going to Dr. Koch for many years, even before he started practicing at UAH. He is the best vet ever. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. He will call to check on a sick pet even when he has a day off or is on vacation. He has great instincts about finding a problem while it is minor and before it becomes a major illness. The back room technicians are also sweet and caring. I understand that they hold and "baby" my miniature schnauzers after anesthesia when the dogs tend to cry. I drive 40 minutes from north Phoenix and would not take my four miniature schnauzer "kids" anywhere else. more

Amazing hospital! 3/11/2012

I recently completed a 2-week externship as a veterinary student at University Animal Hospital in Tempe and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this hospital! The clinic has state-of-the-art equipment and they are very up-to-date on how they approach and practice medicine. The 11-doctor practice has everything that I hope to find in where I will eventually work and is the epitome of where I would take my animals (in fact, it is very reminiscent of the clinic I take my pets to at home in Minnesota). Everyone is incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. The doctors work as a team and in the best interest of their patients by discussing their cases with each other, whether they would like an additional perspective or would simply like to share what they learned. \r The hospital is immaculately clean, well cared for, and employs only those individuals who obviously love animals and their job. I was thrilled to see everyone doing their specific job to their utmost cap more

Dr Gus & Flegenheimer 3/7/2012

I would like to give a special thanks to University Animal Hospital in Tempe. Recently an extremely complicated surgery had to be performed on my Sharpei. Dr. Gus did the surgery and I can?t thank him enough all the time he spent ?baby sitting? me though the 1 month recovery. The follow up care was fantastic. I have been going to University now for 8 years and seeing not only Dr. Gus but also Dr. Flegenheimer. I can?t imagine ever going anywhere else. You won?t find a better hospital or Vets anywhere.\r Edward, Ms. Piper & Mr. Niko more

Best in Class 3/6/2012

I have a disabled dachshund that requires observation twice a week,\r and has been going to University Animal Hospital, Dr. Bastek, for about 4 years. The level of attention and treatment has given my dog a quality of life that can be called normal for her. Yes she has a wheel chair as she lost the use of her back legs, but she thinks she is normal and doesn't notice the lack of mobility. All of this is due to how much attention they give her. She seems truly happy to visit them twice a week. My other Dachshund is a diabetic, and they were able to catch it very early and prescribe treatment and he has responded very well to it. Again, it's the attention they give. I board my dogs with them whenever we go on trips and have peace of mind when doing so, because I know they care. They know how I feel about my dogs, and the exhibit the same care I give them at home. I highly recommend Dr. Gus and his entire crew. Friendly, Courteous, and very Professional service. more

Wonderful Vet 1/8/2012

A friend of mine took a kitten to University Animal Hospital to be neutered and get his shots. When she took him in he was feral and after just a few days there and lots of love from the staff, he came home as the sweetest most easy going kitten. He was not put in a cage and ignored. I adopted this kitten from my friend and we adore him. I live in N Phx but will be going back to UVH and Dr Mario Tascon with Ollie. more
