. . . "I strongly recommend against a visit to this vet. We came here shortly after adopting our dog and were extremely disappointed by the service and care.\n\nEven though I confirmed my appointment less than an hour before my arrival, I waited almost half an hour for someone to come to the front desk to greet and speak to me. I was literally yelling down the hallway until someone came.\n\nWhen my dog and I were finally directed to a room, I found Dr. Cruz to be inattentive and unengaged. He left multiple times during the appointment, including once for twenty-plus-minutes to take a phone call. I felt like he was not giving my dog sufficient attention.\n\nOn the plus side, because I had time to kill while waiting, I was able to read a bunch of Yelp reviews that warned of unnecessary tests and treatments. As a result when Dr. Cruz delivered his treatment recommendation (which was for hundreds of dollars!), I made him walk through it in detail and was able to cross off several things that were clearly unnecessary. I was also turned off because his treatment recommendation included a vaccine that was priced at three times the amount of getting that same vaccine at the Maricopa County shelter.\n\nIn the end, I still feel like I paid for unnecessary treatments and for bad service. I feel especially strongly about this since I have found my new vet who truly cares about my dog and is much more reasonably priced.\n\nWe will not come back here again."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
