Report
I used another clinic and wasn't impressed with the over all experience. My friend recommended this clinic and I had a great experience here, staff and veterinarians here truly cared about my dog Bella. The vegetarian is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I highly recommend Mt McKinley Animal hospital for your fur baby.

I will always sing the praises of Mt. McKinley Animal Hospital team. Dr. Deleon is a fantastic surgeon and has always been generous with her time and policies. I have taken several pets there over the decade (one seems to be there every other month!), and only once did I have a problem - years ago - and that vet is no longer there, and Dr. Deleon made it right, and still checks on that problem every time I go in to see her with that dog. The specialists are great, and the regular vets do not hesitate to refer you if they think your pet will be better off seeing a specialist.

We have been bringing our pets here for many years. Currently our toy schnauzer who is 5 and our golden doodle who is 15 months have both enjoyed excellent care here. Great vets. Always friendly and responsive. Have answered questions over the phone and always worked with us to fit them in. Our schnauzer had a issue where his bladder was full of stones. They figured it out from his symptoms, operated, and he made a full recovery.
He had probably been in a lot of pain and was doing a good job of hiding it! They are great with our wild doodle puppy (she likes to poop in the reception area as soon as we get there) and really seem to care about the well being of our fur babies. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice. Separate waiting rooms for anxious pets. Vet and vet tech were really good with my cat. My cat is usually extremely nervous around others but did so well with the vet. He even let her face get close to his head. Great veterinarian and clinic. I recommend.

We are all well cared for at Mt. McKinley. Dr. DeLeon takes time to explain the options, procedures, and medications and genuinely cares for our pets and their well being. I know when we are there we can trust our little ones, even at their lowest moments, are in good hands. From follow up calls to friendly staff and easy checkout, I highly recommend them.

From the Front Desk, Vet Tech, and Vet it was a 100% positive experience. Everyone was great with my sometimes skittish Chessie. Thanks for the great experience. ~Mary
