| - DO NOT USE THIS CLINIC!!! If ever there was a vet clinic that takes advantage of your situation, this is the place. Their charges are totally outrageous. They will perform every possible test/procedure they can think of and just pile on the costs, all the while knowing that you are freaking out because your pet is sick or injured and that you will accept anything just to try and get them healthy. Talk about upselling and piling on. A 20 minute consultation cost $350, while administering some minor saline and oxygen, and the total cost for this 20 minutes was over $650.....which, after the 20 minutes, they advised me to put my dog to sleep. I accepted the recommendation, but for them to do all of this in just 20 minutes only to tell me the dog needed to be put down was outrageous. In that short period of time, they jammed in every procedure they could then said, "put him down". This is all about money for them, and they are very very aggressive about getting paid. I was harassed within 1 week of losing my dog by their billing people/receptionist, and when I complained about the high charges for the short amount of time they saw my dog, she actually had the audacity to tell me that I had received a substantial DISCOUNT and I should be glad that the doctor hadn't charged me- I SHOULD BE HAPPY!!. I used the clinic in North Scottsdale on Scottsdale Road, but I am sure they all have the same marching orders, since they are corporate owned
Scottsdale Veterinary clinic is a much better place--http://scottsdaleveterinary.reachlocal.com/?scid=1621143&kw=10786567&pub_cr_id=26944826793- and they are open 24/7 but not considered an emergency (ripoff) clinic, so they do not charge anything more for emergencies.
