The Veterinarians and staff at Acequia Animal Hospital are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Special recognition to Dr. Philpott who goes above and beyond in her care of her patients. Her ability to diagnose & effectively treat our pets has been beyond belief. Dr. Philpott and several of the staff are Fear Free certified which is very important to us, especially with one of our dogs who is older & anxious when out of his comfort zone. We highly recommend Acequia Animal Hospital to anyone seeking the absolute best care for their "fur babies".

The entire staff here is awesome. They have been taking care of my dogs for 15 + years. The best Animal Hospital ever. Dr. Fiorello is amazing.

When we put Zeus down the whole staff was very compassionate and we were able to go right into the room. No waiting in the waiting room for everyone to see me balling my eyes out. Dr. Fiorello has/was very understanding from time of diagnosing Zeus to him passing. She treated us like family and that really made the process easier. Thank you for all that you do and your staff!

After such a horrific experience with our long time vets office in relation to our pet falling Ill unexpectedly, this office of people were a literal God send. I sat crying in my prior vets office calling hysterically trying to find a vet that was able to see an exotic pet, they gladly said yes bring your baby in right away. They literally treated us and him like they knew us, like family.

Kind and caring and compassionate to our situation. Even though our sweet boy passed away, they literally did everything possible, displayed concern and care I hadn’t experienced with my prior long time vets office. I have since moved my other pet over to this office due to this experience. I firmly believe our pets are family and to know that this office has such kind and caring people to care for my pet makes my life so much easier. I can’t recommend them enough!

Our dog had not been eating and had been very sluggish. We were able to get in to see Dr Philpott. She is absolutely amazing. She was informative, very caring and gentle with our little pup, and easy to talk to. We didn't feel rushed - she was extremely patient with us and our questions. Thank you, Dr Philpott!

Extremely poor customer service. My dog was set for a dental appointment but needed previous records from another clinic. The office made no attempts to get those records and bad mouthed my previous vet for not giving the records. I called my previous vet who was extremely nice got the records to me in less then 5 minutes. An extremely RUDE girl Darlene called to bad mouth an ex employee at their place of business stating it was their fault for the confusion.

This vet charged me for blood work and exam for my dog to get a dental which is no longer valid so stole my money. I have filed a better business bureau complaint and have disputed the charges. This clinic is scary. The fact that people like this handle animals is not ok. Darlene is a bad person she shouldn't be around animals or people for that matter. I would suggest taking your animals to anywhere else. After several years and 8 dogs seeing this vet because I'd the hatred from Darlene I will be going elsewhere

I got calls before, during, & after his surgery to update me on his condition. Glad I made the switch to this Veterinary hospital! The Drs. all genuinely care. Beth, the Technician, is awesome! Thanks for taking care of my baby!

They got my little canary Tweety in when no one else would make room for him. He was sick and I tried about 12 other vets and they wouldn't make room for my sick little guy. Dr. Fiorello took the time to make room for him took great care of him. He is so much better! I have no doubt she saved his life. The staff there was very caring and friendly, truly showed great concern for my little pal. Ray was awesome too, he genuinely cares about the patients. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving my little guy!

I can't think of anything that I would have asked to be done additionally or differently. Dr. Gray clearly had reviewed my dog's file and asked questions to follow up on some of his past and recent health concerns. She was accommodating to his behavioral needs by seeing him in the courtyard and taking the time to interact with him in the way that was comfortable for him.

She collaborated with me to plan cooperative care training. The staff members at the desk, and the technician assisting Dr. Gray, were kind and patient with him and have expressed understanding and patience for his need to take things slowly and develop a good relationship with them. Acequia is a bit of a drive for me, but so far I find it to be well worth the trip.

I have taken my pets to Acequia since 2007. I have seen all of the doctors in the practice without preference - they are all competent, compassionate, professional, and able to think outside the box. I see it as an advantage that I can see different doctors so they may pick up on different things. The doctors collaborate well. I have been to other vets that take a temperature and listen to the heart and consider that to be an annual exam.

At Acequia, they always move all of the joints and feel the abdomen and are overall very thorough as appropriate to the age and known conditions of the pet. They have always gotten me in when my pets have had an emergency. They are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, and in this case you pay for quality. I trust them completely.

First time visit for our 9 week old puppy. Everyone was friendly and courteous. Their curbside exam went much smoother than I had anticipated. The technician and doctor were both knowledgeable and more than willing to answer all of my questions. Very happy with the decision to switch to Acequia for all of our fur baby needs.

No internet review I write can adequately represent how wonderful the team at Acequia is or my appreciation for them. I moved to Albuquerque in 2013 and found Acequia where Dr. Holland became the vet for my then senior cat. Fast forward a few years and I met Dr. Gray-Dees as she was one of the only vets in town that didn't scare away when I called about taking a VERY anti-social cat in for a visit.

While the cat didn't respond well, Dr. Gray was wonderful, and became his regular vet. Now, with the support of some pre-visit medicine he ADORES Dr. Gray. She is the absolute best, her love for the animals she works with radiates from her during conversation. In the past few months she's completed oral surgery on the angry cat, squeezed a cat visit in at the last moment, and had a quick visit with my new rescue pup. Recently, I had the chance to engage with Dr. Fiorello during the puppy's first visit and she was also wonderful, despite only having the chance to connect via phone during the visit because of Covid.

While I could go on and on about the vets, the vet techs and front desk team are equally as wonderful and EVERY experience over the last 7 years has been amazing. Thanks to Janice (I don't know what I'd do without Janice during scheduling and refill time), Beth, Mo, and everyone else who loves my fur babies and makes me (and them) feel so comfortable when it's time to go to the vet.

Dr. Holly and her staff are amazing. Wouldn't take our happy and healthy furbabies anywhere else! Kind, caring and empathetic- from wellness checkups, injury & illness care as well as end of life... these people are the BEST!
