My 8 year old boxer went missing for 4 days in the White Mountains after my in laws took her camping, we amazingly were able to find her with the help of park rangers, but not before she had a run in with a porcupine. We pulled most of the quills out but she still had 4 quills embedded in her chest. Dr Powers and his staff spent almost 2 hours in surgery removing the quills, and at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend Dr Powers and Christown Animal Hospital.

IF I CAN GIVE A NEGATIVE 5 I WOULD. took my pet in for microship and doctor recommended all of this test for my dog. and of course i said yes. i love my pet. staff and doctor told me "we will call you as soon as the results come in". NEVER HAPPENED. i had to call the place up and when receptionist answer, she was telling me that results are negative and to have a good day. so fast to get me off the phone. i asked to speak with someone else because i had some more questions and one of the nurses was answering some of my questions and told me to hold on while he got the doctor. unfortunately for him, he for got to put me on hold and i heard everything. nurse was doing his best to get answers to tell me and to try to get the doctor on the phone, but i heard the doctor say "just tell him to leave his number, write it down on a paper and tell him i will call him back. or just tell him im with another patient". this place just want as much money from you and do not care what so ever for your pet. if you really love your pet than just go somewhere else.

Dr. Sandhu, heather, ahdon and The entire staff are awesome. Best part is they can see your animal right away and won't tear your head off with cost. I drive all the way from Gilbert Arizona just to come to this animal hospital because everything around Gilbert sucks and they charge way more than you should have to pay.

I had a great experience today Dr. Powers was very nice and patient with me as I asked some questions about my dogs procedure and after effects. I felt confident going home knowing that on my dog comes in for her C-section she will be in good hands. The front office staff was very professional and respectful of my needs and my dogs needs. I'd say it was definitely a good experience.
