Review content:
After reading the published reviews here, I had to write my own. Maricopa Animal Hospital is the only place in town to take our beloved animals. I own 5 pets and have owned as many as 8 at a time. Each of these animals were and are well cared for by the staff and the Dr's Shelle and Anderson. These physicians treat these pets as if they were their own. They practice preventative medicine and inform the pet owners every step of the way. The support staff and office staff are very professional and have always let me know how much a procedure will cost and if there are any doubts about treatment I may speak with the doctors at any time. This Hospital also is very community minded by holding open low cost clinics and vaccines on their days off. That, to me, is the most altruistic and admirable thing to do for ones community.
I have to admit that I, too, saw the notice on the door that ""any abandoned animals left at the clinic after hours will be euthanized "" . I realized it was put up in defense to so many irresponsible pet owners dropping off unwanted pets and litters on the doorstep of the doctor's office. What would you suggest the doctors do in order to curtail that practice? Stay on the porch all night to stop the ne'er do wells? The notice served a purpose. If anyone dropped off the next unwanted pet they were officially on notice to accept responsibility for their act of selfishness. (either not spaying their pets or not being able to support them when having a pet became difficult.) Having those doing the drop-off owning up to their actions was the purpose of the note.
When I see so many disparaging comments here it's necessary to read between the lines. It seems that some of these pet owners would much rather write poison letters (and line up family members to do it too) than to admit that maybe in their excitement or grief that something may have been missed in translation. When treatment is an emergency, there is plenty of room to misunderstand. And let's not forget......seeing a doctor and receiving treatment does not mean it is FREE. Many people are unprepared for an emergency yet many feel that the veterinarian is last on their list to be paid. BUT, many of these emergencies can be avoided with regularly scheduled veterinary visits. Many of the unhappy posters would have/should have known about their pet's health BEFORE the emergency if they had an established patient history with the doctors. I can't imagine how many times the Doc's must be asked by perfect strangers to allow credit for their very ill pet whose illness could have been prevented with vaccines. It's time these owners, too, accepted responsibility for their lack of care for their pets. I'm sure the Doc's have extended treatment courtesy or payment plans to established patients only because they know the pet/patient/owner. Many clinics have had to make billing changes because they are not afforded the respect and payment of fees that are afforded to other professions. This has been documented many, many times (especially during this economic downturn) WHY should the doctors shoulder any more of this responsibility?
Those in the field of Veterinary Sciences should be thanked for their knowledge, appreciated for their sacrifice and paid when services are rendered. Certainly not bad mouthed.
