We will not be using this vet in the future. The prices are quite high when balanced with the level of service. It is worth noting that this vet KNEW that our epileptic dog was running out of medication and has FAILED to send authorization to the pharmacy in a timely manner. They placed the blame on us, but the appointment for labs was also a Rx renewal appointment by default. This office is 100% more interested in money than your dog.

Just like the Mesa location, this place is AWESOME. The staff is friendly, and they treat my Leia like she is their own. They are patient with her when shes spazing out because shes nervous, and they just offer great care. They explain exactly what needs to be done, and go from there. Im proud to say both locations are where Ill be taking her, as long as Im on this side of town.

I’m never going back. I feel they try to get my money and are never consistent with pricing. That’s not honest, and it’s become a visit I dread because I know there will always be some new charge appearing somewhere or some expense that I have to get. My estimate for my dog cleaning doubled from the original visit. For no reason. We had discussed everything thoroughly. It should have been a simple teeth cleaning, drop off, everything was already discussed. But nope, so I’ve had enough now

I cannot express how thankful I am for Family VetCare of Chandler. All of the staff are compassionate, empathetic, and friendly. In March 2020, Dr Nemeth saved my sweet Lola’s life. Lola had a massive tumor on her ovary and Dr Nemeth removed it and took amazing care of her. When she crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year after having a grand mal seizure, Dr Jones called to give me their condolences. They take amazing care of my Coco and always give me multiple options on her care and respect my decisions on how to treat my fur baby. We saw Dr Day on our last visit and she is amazing also. Coco and I always feel welcome when we walk into the Chandler office!

I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Family vet care of chandler. My dog woody had a ACL tear and needed surgery. I was really hesitant about the entire procedure and all because of fear of anesthesia and if I was making the right decision of going the surgery route instead of conservative treatment but Dr. Wodiske was very thorough and answered every question I had before the surgery. I left feeling more Certain than ever. Even through the recovery period Dr. Wodiske and the entire staff have been so helpful with any questions I have and I can’t express how appreciative I am. Thank you!!

I finally feel ready to post about it, but the staff and doctors at Family VetCare of Chandler were absolute angels to me and my sweet, senior fur baby who ultimately crossed the rainbow bridge :(. They were informative and so compassionate during such a scary time, I was really impressed and truly thankful. If you’re looking for a Vet that you can take your fur family to, this is the place!

They are AMAZING!!! I have been trying to get my fur baby in to see a vet for her allergies for a while but everyone has been booked ... I attempted to help soothe her allergies but today I woke up to my dog shaking and her feet were very swollen due to dog socks I placed on her ... I called PANICKING and they were able to get her in and helped me set a plan up for herThank you!!

Family VetCare of Chandler is the best! The staff is so welcoming and friendly. They treated our cat so kind and gentle and really made her feel comfortable during her visit. They went over our options after the exam and we did not feel pressured or hurried. Like most cats ours is anxious about riding in the car and visiting the vet, but she did amazing! We love and appreciate the doctors and staff at Family VetCare of Chandler. We are more than so satisfied on their customer service excellence. Thank you, keep up the great work!

4 stars because the staff is very kind and you can tell the genuinely care about pets. Loss on one star because they are double, sometimes triple the cost of equally great Vet offices. I feel like they really do try to “sell” you on a lot of things pets don’t need. If you have money to burn - I genuinely mean it when I say go here because there reservation system is great and they are very responsive and knowledgeable.

I could not be more disappointed with family vet. I have taken several of my dogs here for a while, and have not experienced kind people who are interested in the health of the animal instead of money. Even taking my dog in for a UTI, they tried to send unnecessary labs and fees and testing that cost hundreds. One star is not only for the fact that they do not care at all about your animal. The receptionist did not want to help us at all with our recent appointment and only wanted to get us off the phone. I called for my dog before it developed to a medical emergency and we ended up taking him to an overnight vet. The receptionist however did not see our concern and tried to schedule an appointment 2 weeks out, saying same day appointments are reserved for pets in need. Overall, Im glad my dog got the care he needed somewhere else from people who care. Please do not trust your pets here, there are plenty of vets that will actually care for your animals.

Honey and I, just love this place. We came to this practice after recently relocating to AZ, from TN. I found a vet that my sister went to, but after a visit was not a huge fan of. I felt Like another dog owner that wasnt being heard, and they didnt want to bother with. When My dog got a UTI, and was starting to pee blood.The Vet I already was not fond of couldnt fit us in for a few weeks and told me if I was that concerned take her to an animal ER facility. Which I would have gladly done, but there had to be another clinic that was open,.That is when I found Dr. Patrick at Family Vet Care in Chandler. She got us an appointment that day, with in an hr. Listened to all my concerns and questions. Made Honey and I feel like we mattered and that she truly cares about the dog and the Owner.I have since been back several times for her shots and overall care. Each visit living up to the first encounter where we have always felt so loved and welcomed at this facility. Even when they had an animal ER going on around us, we still had staff letting us know what was going on and asking us if we want to reschedule, or wait.Needless to say, We LOVE Dr. Patrick and the Vet staff and as long as we reside in AZ, she will be our Vet.

I can not say enough good things about Family VetCare of Chandler! My little puppy needed a pretty big surgery and not only the cost was significantly lower but the quality of care was so much better than any other experience Ive had. Everyone is super friendly from the front office, to the vet techs, to the Veterinarians. They all seem to genuinely care about animals and treat me with compassion and support. I never feel rushed in my consultation and was able to cover all of my questions and then some. I accidently showed up at the wrong time for an appt and they kindly worked me in so I didnt have to come back later. Im blown away by the customer service we have recieved. Its worth the 25 minute drive to come here!

Best veterinary care office we have been to in awhile! Our little dog has always had challenges and yesterday had a big one with her digestive system. Dr. Patrick spent a small amount of time evaluating her and came back with a care plan in moments. Our little dog still feels awful but you can tell she is recovering fast and her treatment plan was effective, and well considered by Dr. Patrick. I cant tell you how desperate you feel when something serious happens and Family VetCare completely put us at ease, diagnosed her quickly, considered her comfort as well as ours and left us feeling we now have her new doctor!! Its always expensive but, for the first time in a long time we never felt like we were being charged for anything that wasnt absolutely warranted. How often can you say that!! Thank you Dr. Patrick you really are our hero!!**Updated, I just wanted to add on to this review that our little dog lost her long fight with meningitis and we had that terrible day when we had to say goodbye. Dr. Patrick was there for us and made sure our loved one had the best care she could give her and we really truly in our hearts knew the staff was thinking about us through the whole thing. A week or so later we got a card in the mail from everybody and I cant tell you how much all the personal messages meant!! We are very thankful we have Family VetCare in our lives!! Dr Patrick, you are forever our HERO!! Its people like you who understand how much they mean to people that makes the world of difference!!

Family VetCare of Chandler was the BEST experience I have had since moving to Phx. Especially during COVID! I could not image not going in with my dog Jesse! They had their office setup so perfectly and I felt so safe. I was the only one in the office when I came in. They go by appt only and I was taken to a room right away. The staff is beyond kind and caring. The measures they took for social distancing, treatment and examination overview was amazing. I will continue with this new Vet for sure!!!

Never have we ever had such an empathetic veterinarian. Dr. Jones was the sweetest Vet we’ve ever had. In our desperate time of need, she showed compassion, kindness & understanding towards our crisis with Lily: our 5 y/o Great Dane. We feared the worst when she got very sick, very fast. They took care of our baby & while she is on the mend, their compassion & loving nature as a whole facility truly made us forever fans of this particular clinic. We’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you taking care of our baby & extending the same amount of love towards her as we have & treating her like your own family member.

Family VetCare of Chandler is amazing!! Our Blue Heeler fractured her tibia bone and required surgery. The emergency vet we initially took her to was not personable, tried to rush surgery and price gouge. A friend highly recommended Dr. Wodiske. He is the absolute BEST!! He made a phone call to me personally to discuss her injury and had his staff call to transfer records and x-rays from the emergency vet. After reviewing everything, he called me back to discuss his recommendation, cost range (which was almost half of what the emergency vet quoted!) and even made accommodations to get our furbaby in with a surgeon who specializes in her type of fracture. It’s been 5 weeks since surgery. Everyone has been absolutely amazing during this entire process. Very personable during each office visit, even with limited contact due to COVID-19, friendly and informative each time we called the questions and they have reached out multiple times just to check on Pepper. This is definitely our forever vet! Thank you so much for making a very stressful time so it easier on our family.

Ive been taking my pets to Family Vet Care of Chandler for over 15 years. Ive always been more than pleased with their care. Dr. Day saved my cats life when she diagnosed her with toxoplasmosis even before the test results confirmed it. She treated her immediately, knowing the test would prove she was right. Had she not acted this quickly, my cat would not have survived.

By far this is the best staff and care my dogs have ever received! The staff is so welcoming, encouraging and loving and the gentleness of everyone is SO appreciated! We’ve dealt with vets that don’t really care about the welfare of our fur babies and it’s the opposite here! If you need to see a doctor that is gentle and understanding see Dr. Nemeth, she’s the best!!

My cat Sterling has special needs and we had trouble finding a vet who seemed to genuinely care about our concerns, I seemed to get dismissed or labeled crazy animal mom. My animals are my family. This place made me feel so comfortable about bringing my cats here. From the front desk staff to the technician to the vet Amanda Nemeth..every single person seemed to care!!!! They understand that my animals are my family. They went over everything and answered all my questions without making me feel silly for asking. Thank you!!!!! Please, if you are looking for a place to take your animal family, bring them here!

Thank you to Dr. Nemeth and the entire staff at Family VetCare of Chandler! They truly went above and beyond what we expected from a veterinarian office.

She even worked through her lunch break to fit us in one day.They are all very friendly, caring and professional. We are grateful to have found Family VetCare of Chandler. We highly recommend them to any pet owner!

Weve had a really good experience, thus far, with this vet clinic. We have a new puppy and we completed the entirity of the puppy shots with them (4 round series).Our main vet, Dr. Samantha Jones, is incredibly well educated and helpful with all of the questions and fears weve had with puppy development, etc. The entire front office staff have always been friendly. The Office Manager is very present and involved. Overall, the office is run incredibly well.They do not push sales or procedures on you. Also, theyre very honest about what they do and dont know. They really make an effort. Our vet always includes personal notes that summarize our visit. Also, they went over all of the cost breakdowns before every visit.Ive never felt like I was being rushed out of the office or that I asked too many questions. They always made it a priority that we left feeling confident.Its been hard to find a vet that I trust. I highly recommend them.

Review №37

I took my senior dog to family vet care of Chandler and while going there I would have recommended it. My dog every six months would get a senior wellness exam including blood work. I paid this additional money and took the time to take my dog to these senior exams thinking that it was preventative care. I would always be told what great health my dog was in. Two weeks ago when I got home from work my dog wasnt getting up to greet me. I instantly called Family Vet Care of Chandler to ask for advice. I was told that they were under staffed and to drive to Gilbert (during rush hour) to go to the emergency clinic there or to come in the next day. I asked how to tell if its an emergency and was given no guidance and asked no questions to help me determine what to do. However my gut told me she needed to be seen right away so we took her to Gilbert. At Gilbert they quickly diagnosed her as bleeding internally due to her gum color being light. I dont understand why my vet didnt ask me about her gum color or any questions. She had cancer growths as big as 15 cm on her organs. My dog had to be put down that evening. She was a ten year old greater swiss mountain dog. I never received any follow-up phone call or sympathy card from Family Vet Care. After going through this experience I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. I spent money on what I thought was preventative care which feels like a scam now. It seems like this business only cares about making money and not actually about giving your beloved pet a long and healthy life.

Ive been bringing my dogs to Family VetCare (various locations) for about 8 years now as I was referred to them by AAWL. Sadly, I had to bring my dog (Payton) in for an emergency as he suddenly wasnt able to walk normally with his hind legs. Dr. Jones was great in interacting with him as he tends to be a nervous dog, and explained all our options while being mindful that surgery is financially not an option for everyone trying to take care of their pups. Unfortunately, Payton took a quick turn for the worse and was put down. While it was a horrific experience having to do that, I appreciated the staffs compassion, consideration and professionalism. They took things into consideration that I hadnt thought of, such as having a separate entrance, room ready, and taking care of finances ahead of time. Overall, Dr. Jones is great at what she does.The only negative thing Id have to say about my recent experience is when we showed up for the initial emergency, the front desk staff almost sent us away. She explained that they dont take walk ins and were already treating an urgent case. I was surprised by that given Ive taken him to Family VetCare since he was a puppy. It seemed like when the front desk staff noticed I was crying and looked over the counter to see Payton not being able to walk normally that it changed her sense of urgency.

We have been taking our beloved dog Daisy to Family Vet Care for the last 4 years and have had only wonderful experiences. They made us feel like family every time we needed to bring Daisy for a check up or appointment. This was so important to us because when we discovered that Daisy whos was 13 had become extremely ill over night and was unresponsive to our voices we rushed her to Family Vet Care and knew they would care for her. They got us back to the exam room right away and Dr Patrick was there waiting to see Daisy. Even though during the visit we made the decision because her condition had gotten so bad to put her down, Dr Patrick along with the Tech were compassionate and really took care of me as I had to say goodbye. I would highly recommend Family Vet Care to anyone looking for a Vet to take care of their pet in the future. Thanks Family Vet Care.

I will say the staff was really friendly.However I felt they are very money hungry!I went in because my dog had an ear infection. They wanted to charge $30-$40 to clean her ears. I asked what this process consisted of & they said they would give her the first dose of her ear cleanser. I said, You want to charge that much to insert ear drops that I can do at home and have to do at home since this is what your prescribing? They said they could take it off and not charge me. After seeing the bill for $200 for a diagnosis of ear infection and medicine. I told them I needed to do whatever to help save. They gave me 50% as a first time customer and removed the ear cleanser when asking. I simply felt they were trying to see how much they could charge me without complaint.They then tried to call me 2 weeks later to get my dog back in. I explained she is doing great- No head shaking or ear itching. They said it was procedure to do a check-up and the doctor wants her to come in. Again, I felt they were trying to get me back in to make more money. I declined the offer and will be looking elsewhere. I need someone not only compassionate about animals, but about my finances!

We were very happy with the level of care, communication and follow up from this clinic. Our dog underwent a minor surgery and the vet personally called me herself several times that first week to see how he was doing. She then followed up the next week as well just to make sure he was still alright. They did a great job as well and we couldnt be happier with the entire experience.

The best veterinarians we have ever met/used services! I can not express in words how happy and satisfied or the level of gratitude I have for this incredible group of people. We are treated with sincere empathy and understanding...I have a few cats, they all got sick from a feral that roams around (mine do not go outside, contact happened trough screen door). Kudos to Dr. Evans and Dr. Travis (Wodiske)! They were both incredible and as long as live in AZ, they will be my kitties doctors. I also have to mention office Manager Erin, front office staff and the Technicians, all have been amazing! I strongly recommend them all for the care of your most precious pets, God Bless them all!

HiWe took our beautiful little fur baby to get a routine physical exam. Our Dr. Nemeth helped us overcome any fears we may have had before. Our visit with the technicanian was great too! They came up with a plan for my little one and it really made a difference. Our dog was very itchy from allergies. The remedy made a huge change in her behavior I am so glad we did the visits this way because our dog needed to be spayed but we treated the allergies first, got those under control and when it came time for the spaying our dog did not suffer from the allergies during the healing time. That was a very smart plan. The spaying went well the staff really cares allowing me to talk to Dr. Nemeth before the procedure. The very next day they called to ask how our girl was doing. Post surgery with pain meds and sedatives since our girl is very active made the healing process easier. Thank you so much. I will definitely continue being a client at this practice and recommend this Veterinarian family.Thank you, g

Our old, beloved little dog took a sudden turn for the worse on a Saturday morning. After calling many places and explaining the situation they all said we could walk-in but would have to wait a couple of hours to be seen as they were booked. We called Family VetCare of Chandler and while they were also booked they said they would see him as soon as possible. We brought him in and they were waiting for us, knew his name and took us right into a room. Everyone was compassionate, caring and thorough. Because of his condition we could only make him slightly more comfortable with many procedures that they explained thoroughly but he would never get better or euthanize. They were very patient while we cried and discussed. They were very compassionate with our very upset 7 year old who waited in the lobby while he was sent to heaven. He passed so peacefully. We miss and love our little guy, but we are so very grateful with their tender care during a very sad experience for our family.

I honestly cant say enough good things about this clinic! The staff here is incredible. Everyone was very friendly and professional with both me and my cat. They quickly and thoroughly addressed his breathing issues and took the time to explained what they were doing, why they thought this was the best idea, and gave me an accurate estimate of the procedures. Even though my cat was squirmy through the procedure, they were patient and kind the entire time, which made the ordeal less stressful.In addition to an awesome staff, I really loved their facilities. On-site ultrasound and x-ray machines made it easy for Dr. Evans to efficiently treat my cat within a couple hours. Other vets Ive visited havent had this equipment, and have had to refer me to other locations, which means more stressful car rides for my cat, more time away from work, and more money spent on treatment. All in all, I had an amazing experience!

I want to share my experience with family vet care. I adopted my puppy from the maricopa county shelter and got his first checkup here, they partner with the shelter to do the wellness check for free and the visit was great. Within a couple months my pup became very sick, this office showed a lot of compassion and care for my pup in the last month of his life, they did their best to make sure he was comfortable and worked very hard to find out what was going on with my pup. Eventually my pup did not respond to treatment and we had to put him down. Family vet care took care of this for me, we were able to put him down in a private room where they fed him yogurt before hand and even offered to make us a cement paw print. They were very sympathetic and compassionate during this hard time. About a week after our pups passing the whole office signed a card and send it to my house letting me know my family was in their thoughts. If you are looking for a vet who truly cares about pets and their owners then look no further.

I’ve been using this Vet for 20 years, the location in Ahwatukee. I’ve taken all my pets here dogs and cats. Everyone is so caring. LaRue at the front desk is so kind and sweet, always very helpful! All the docs I’ve seen through the years are wonderful. I started with Dr Olsen who was wonderful but no longer there. Sad to see him go but I now see Dr Sarah Derksen and Dr Carla Mott who are just as wonderful! Both my dogs have had issues with bladder stones and have had to have surgery and care by both Dr Derksen and Dr Mott. They have been amazing and I’m so grateful for their care! Dr Derksen has helped my dog with pain management as well. He has a hx of traumatic injuries and she has been able to keep his chronic pain to his leg and back under good control so he can stay active. In addition, although it’s never easy to say goodbye to a pet this office has always been very compassionate and supportive with my past pets that had to be put to sleep. Everyone here has big hearts, so much empathy and support. They really care about your furry family. ❤️

They are not very cooperative on the phone to answering questions like other clinics I called for information. They only want people to come in and pay for an exam.

The people at this clinic dont listen and overcharge for every service they provide.I originally went to this vet because my lil puppy was itchy, had dry, flaky skin, and had chewed herself up pretty bad.When the vet came into the room, she plopped down on the floor and started playing with my German Shepherd mix.Now Shepherds are known for being really bitey as puppies, and I had been working diligently the past few weeks to teach my furball that there were other ways to play than chomping the living daylights out of everything that moved.Naturally the first thing the vet did was shove her hand in my dogs mouth, and start playing the lets bite my hand in different places game, which ultimately ended up setting back weeks worth of training. So that was annoying.I guess to be fair I didnt really say much. I just half-heartedly said, Were trying to teach her not to do that. But the vet kept playing the hand-biting game throughout the rest of the appointment.After hearing itchy-skin and looking (very) briefly at my dogs wounds, the vet decided my puppy had puppy mites. She ordered a skin scrape to test for it.The skin scrape came back negative. The vet said that happened sometimes and that my dog probably still had mites. She prescribed a 3-month medicine, a steroid spray, and a cone. The appointment bill was over 200 dollars, even with a discount because of a scheduling mix up.I also asked for a spay quote, and was told it would be 550 DOLLARS to spay my 3 month, 30 lb dog.(I ultimately got it done 2 months later by another place that charged $100, despite my doggo then being 20 lbs heavier.)There was no change in my puppys itching after 2 months, though there should have been if she really did have mites. I decided to finish her 3 month dosage, but also to try swapping out her food to a different meat base (chicken to lamb.) At Petco, the workers there helped me find a brand (Natural Balance) that was known for helping dogs with food allergies. We also got different treats.Fast-forward to the end of the month. The food change had not helped, the mite meds had not helped. All that seemed to help was the changing of the season, and the fish oil that made my dogs skin less dry and flaky.As the weather got nicer and things started blooming again, my pupper got itchy. I decided to bring her in again, but this time I wouldnt be able to go. My boyfriend went in my place.The very first thing the vet tried to tell him was that she had mites. Again. When he protested and said we had already treated for that, they told him that sometimes the mite medicine doesnt work??So essentially if thats true, they admitted to prescribing a useless medication after a negative test.The vet wanted to do another skin scrape for mites, but my boyfriend refused. The vet then tried to tell him that my dog might have a food allergy. My boyfriend tried to tell her that we had switched to another brand and protein with no luck. The vet cut in insisted that we must have gotten a bad brand of dog food that wasnt really good for food allergies (though she never asked what brand it was...) My boyfriend had to argue back that yes, we did.Eventually the vet relented and gave my boyfriend an anti-itch shampoo and more steroid spray. The appointment ended up costing almost $200 again, even though they did nothing.This place overcharges for services, insists on treatments that they know might not be necessary/dont work, and they dont listen regardless of how patient and polite you might be. My boyfriend and I are both very soft-spoken and have worked in customer service, so its not like we were belligerent or mean either.Honestly, I got more accurate information from searching my dogs symptoms in Google.I absolutely never review, but this place doesnt deserve 4.8 stars. Two stars, because they were at least nice to me while I was there.

Dr Sarah Derksen is wonderful. So kind gentle and patient with our cats. She is equally good with us nervous parents. Wouldnt think of going anywhere else. The staff are all very nice and the facility is super clean - better than a people hospital! Cant recommend Dr Derksen highly enough and Family Vetcare.

I got my first puppy about a month ago, and didnt really know what to do. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Wodiske and took my little guy in for his first check up. The staff was awesome and friendly and I could tell they truly cared about us. Dr. Wodiske was GREAT! He took so much time to educate me about caring for my puppy, from potty and crate training to feeding etc. I am so happy I chose Family VetCare to CARE for my puppy and help show me the ropes of puppy care. I would highly recommend them to anybody!

Our family cat suddenly became ill, and I was able to get him in to be seen on a Saturday with virtually no notice. First time here, so I appreciate that even more. They were able to run tests and bloodwork in house, and got us the results while we waited. We unfortunately had to put our cat down, and the staff was very kind and went out of their way to make both our pet and us comfortable. With each step they presented all our options, both for treatment and pricing, and were able to explain it in laymens terms which is more important than you realize when your head is already clouded by the situation. I also equate emergency care with an inflated price tag, and thankfully that was not the case here, at least not for these specific services. For emergency vet service, I really could not have asked for more, and definitely recommend them.

Any way we can give zero stars?? This place is joke, this is from someone who has many dogs, for so many years, we have been moving so many times, and finding bad and good doctors for our babies; but never one like this place. All we ever wanted was to get a lepto vaccine for a 2 little frenchtons, and they TOLD ME ON THE PHONES BEFORE that the first visit would be a consultation with the vet, and 2 weeks later the booster would only require a tech visit. We got there today to get the booster done and they want to charge us the consultation/examination for each dog again??? Like hello???? I searched prices with our old vet and this (that was suppose to be the new one) and both said the booster visit was just a quick tech visit. DOCTOR REFUSED TO SHOW UP IN THE ROOM BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY, tech vet had the courage to say SHE IS NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO PAY hahahaha did not even gave her face to explain herself with the miscommunication given by them, and the manager did not talk to me on phones because manager was gone. Tech was extremely fake and rude, and said she was going to call the police on me, it is not about $80 more or less, is about doing what was told to your patients/clients; now my dogs are not fully protect from lepto AND I WILL HAPPILY DRIVE 2 hours out to reach our old vet clinic. DR PATRICK you are a joke and not professional at all with your own patients, and also coward, and not showing up to help with the situation BECAUSE I REFUSED TO PAY 2 EXAMINATIONS FOR 2 DOGS IN LESS THEN A 2 WEEK PERIOD!!!!

Between my parents and I, we have 9 pets. And we all love love love family vetcare of Chandler. So much so that even after both my parents and I moved to central Phoenix, we both still drive the 30 min to get there. Ive honestly never liked my vets very much but Dr. Wodiske is the BEST vet Ive ever met! Both he and the whole team at family vetcare are always so nice to my pets and make them feel welcome. They are also extremely knowledgeable and were able to get to the bottom of two of my dogs mystery ailments when other vets had pretty much shrugged their shoulders and given up trying to figure out what was wrong. They are also extremely caring and sweet there. My dogs actually get excited to go to the vet! About two years ago when my dog Abby had heart worm and also was dealing with a tooth extraction because she fractured her canine, she was in the vets office pretty much every week. Everyone would always recognize her and get so happy to see her and make her feel comfortable and happy, even though the treatments were so painful. Im definitely an overprotective pet parent and I truly feel comfortable with my pets in their care. Thank you family vetcare of chandler for helping me take tip-top care of my pets!

We started using Family Vetcare almost 20 years ago when we had a cat. I honestly only chose them because their location was convenient, but our family has been treated very well by them. We have now returned after a 2-3 year pet-free time with our newly adopted dog. My grown children have never had a dog and I havent since I was a teen, but FVC has been very helpful getting us acclimated. They even offer a complementary fiest visit for shelter adoptees. We love them. The dog loves them. We wouldnt go anywhere else.

Animal hospital is a bad joke. They are a dog and cat veterinarian. Don’t attempt to bring anything that isn’t one of these in here. It’s misleading and can lead to a waste of time in an emergency.

I have been a long standing devoted customer with family vetcare for over 20 years! I just love the staff and especially the veterinarians. The veterinarian that I request is Dr. Mott. Dr. Mott has my veterinarian for my cats over the years for routine visits and not so good visits. There have been visits when I have to send my loving, caring, very sick babies to pet heaven. I deeply appreciate when the Family vetcare send me a wonderful thoughtful condolence card. To me, this is a very personal touch that I received from the Family vetcare clinic. I always and will continue to highly recommended Family vetcare to all my friends and whoever else who ask for a veterinarian! Keep up the Exception job. I love you all , your special long standing devoted customer, and not only do I but all my loving babies thank you too, thank you for your caring my babies, fondly Judy Podhorez

I have two dogs, Dax and Ben, who are a handful together at the vet. They are so excited every time for the love and attention these guys get from the staff and Dr. Simms, I never have to drag them. At one point my dogs traded kennel cough to each other, then suffered together at the same time! Dr. Simms and the staff are always so patient and knowledgeable, they were able to kick it with the antibiotics prescribed. Im always in and out in about thirty minutes with my boys, and weekend appointments are a life-saver. I wouldnt dream of taking them away from Dr. Simms.
