I could talk about this place all day. I have had to use Alta Vista several times since being in phoenix (from scottsdale). I cannot stop raving about how amazing every single person is who works there. The front desk receptionists are all so incredibly friendly and so kind. I had take. My dog,Gizmo, in after noticing he was squinting his left eye. The first time I took him in and they ran their tests and gave me eye drops and asked me to come back in two days. I took him back in and was thinking everything was all good. Dr. Ballard told me she was afraid that the object in his eye was still possibly lodged in his eye but was not positive. But the way she spoke and handled Gizmo, I knew that she knew what she was talking about and not just trying to get me to spend money. She was a very sweet lady and a great doctor! Gizmo was referred to a specialist and had to have immediate eye surgery. Had it not been for Dr. Ballard I probably would not have taken him and he could have lost his eye (I thought maybe the object will come out naturally). Due to their knowledge and kindness I knew I could trust them and they helped save my dogs vision.
I will use Alta vista know matter where I live because they are wonderful people who truly love animals and are there to help and make both of you (human and animal) feel comfortable. Also their prices are amazing!!
