Animal Medical Services in Scottsdale is a small but efficient (one Vet) clinic for dogs and cats. The veterinian, Dr. Gibson, is great. She spayed my five month old puppy and did a great job. I talked to several animal hospitals and got their quotes. I dropped in to the clinic one day last week and actually got to meet Dr. Gibson. Her office manager described exactly what to expect and the different spaying packages offered by their clinic I went with the "safety & comfort packages" (blood work pre-surgery and pain medication for recuperation). THE PRICE WAS A FRACTION OF WHAT I WAS QUOTED BY OTHER VET CLINICS! I made an appointment for the next week, dropped my pup off in the morning.. The clinic called me after the surgery and told me she did great in surgery and when I could pick her up that same afternoon. I picked her up and got aftercare instructions. The incision has two layers of dissolveable sutures/stitches on the inside and medical adhesive glue on the outside. This is the way that all vet clinics do it these days. My puppy was definately "out of it" the afternoon and evening after the surgery...but that is to be expected. But within 24 hours of the procedure my pup is pretty much acting like her old self. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Gibson for your pets medical needs.
