Excellent veterinarian!! We recently moved to Anthem from Central Phoenix and came from Alta Vista Animal Hospital (which we loved) so we had high expectations. We tried another vet in the area but we weren't satisfied. We decided to try Animal Hospital at Anthem and were very happy we did! We walked in to a big, bright, open waiting area where we were greeted promptly. My dog and I were escorted to a room right away to complete new patient paperwork and then waited about 3 minutes to see the veterinarian assistant. She was professional and kind to my dog so that was a great start! Then the veterinarian came in after about 5 minutes and was also professional and kind. He was able to quickly assess my dog while making her feel relaxed (she gets nervous at the vet like most dogs). He was able to diagnose her after a few minutes and was very thorough in his questioning and examination. He even came back in 2 more times to ask if I had any questions and to go through the treatment plan once I signed off on the cost. I was very impressed with the level of service, the kindness they showed my sick girl, and the experience they displayed. I highly recommend this animal hospital. Read Less

We are STILL having problems with these people. A dog we obtained AND whom is also CHIPPED went missing on Thursday, November 9, 2017 during a potty break. We IMMEDIATELY launched a search effort and contacted police. Sunday, we discovered WHY he'd so quickly disappeared when we received a call from this veterinary clinic saying the dog had been there for a chip scan and it left with the people that brought it in, whom they refused to identify, telling us that once a dog is in the hands of another for 72 hours, it's essentially THEIRS. Not only is this WRONG information, they wouldn't even let us TALK to the REGISTERED CLINIC OWNER -- Dr. Brian Waller. Both 'Jen' and 'Crystal' on two different calls claimed to be in charge, with 'Jen' calling herself the 'supervisor' and, later, 'Crystal' calling herself the 'manager'. In these two separate telephone conversations both stated that they would not relinquish the contact information of the people that picked up OUR DOG, even though they refused to even CALL us to talk about this issue. Do these sound like 'normal circumstances' to you? We're now having to hire ATTORNIES to retrieve this dog, KNOWN BY THEM to be CHIPPED to OUR TELEPHONE number and OUR address! Why would a VET facilitate the taking of someone's dog? Does he even KNOW what his staff are up to? I see here that others were in charge in past years when posting reviews of OTHER PROBLEMS people have had with this clinic... does employee TURNOVER play a part here? People cannot arbitrarily CONVERT PROPERTY of another to their own use -- if the HOLDERS of this dog were concerned for the dog, wouldn't they at least speak to us? FURTHER: The TIMELINES given us by 'Jen' indicate that SOMEONE has intentionally MISREPRESENTED the circumstances of the disappearance of this dog. I am appalled at what the employees at this clinic are doing -- I've NEVER seen such a thing on the part of 'professionals' in my life. Read Less

Dr. Page and his amazing staff have taken care of our dogs for years. Yesterday it was for our Rottweiler Bailey and I cannot say enough good things about how he was cared for. During what was a very rough procedure for a Rottie with a HUGE hot spot, we were able to watch what was happening, being able to make eye contact with Bailey who was rightfully scared. Dr. Page was in no hurry, let Bailey take all the time he needed to become comfortable for the staff to work on. I know that it is a conscious decision to allow the family members to see what is happening to their pets behind the treatment room door and it means the world to us as far as comfort. Thank you for showing what you do to the animals because we humans can understand. We cannot thank you enough for your compassion that rises above most medical treatment in humans.

This vet and all the staff are absolutely incredible individuals and my little Gunners saving graces. I came to them after I bought this little guy from someone off Craigslist that apparently didn't care what happened to this precious little boy. He was 10 weeks old, skinny as could be at 1.2lbs and still bottle feeding. It was very hard to get him to eat and he refused to drink water. A say or two went by and he wasn't acting right to begin without but things got much worse. I woke up and he couldn't walk or barely hold his head up. He had quite a bit of blood in his stool as well. Of course this was very heartbreaking and I felt helpless, he was so sick. My husband and I were prepared to have him put down so he didn't have to suffer. We took him to Dr. Waller, little Gunners guardian angel. We told him what was going on and we were prepared to put him down. This was just killing us to see this puppy this way as it would anyone. Dr. Waller didn't give up hope on Gunner just yet. He thought just as we did that Gunner wouldn't make it but that didn't stop him from trying to save his life. Gunner had test done and he a something called toxicity which was throughout his entire body which was killing him. Dr. Waller took him in for the day to get him hydrated, giving him medicine, and keeping him warm. He never gave up hope. Hope is what kept little Gunner alive. We picked hip up that evening and granted he was still very sick the Dr. gave us everything thing we needed to care for him. We took off work to be there and care for him. It was a miracle, thanks to such an amazing vet and assistants that helped with Gunner he's alive and well being a happy little boy. He is now a little over 5 months old and at 1.9lbs. I am so very thankful to the Doctors and their staff for saving Gunner. He really touched all our lives then and to this day. I'm not a religious person but I remember that day we dropped Gunner off we were on our way home and my husband asked me if I was falling asleep because my head was down and eyes closed. I said no not falling asleep. He then asked well what are you doing? I replied " I'm praying, that's the only thing I can do right now." Like I said I'm not a religious person but my prayers were answered Dr. Waller and his staff made all that possible.... Thank you to all of you. Read Less

A couple months ago we noticed our ten year old Chihuahua, Mitch, was losing weight, drinking excessive amounts of water, and getting up to pee multiple times during the night as well as being very lethargic. We feared he might be diabetic. We took him to Animal Hospital at Anthem where he was seen by Dr. Waller. After we described Mitch€s symptoms Dr. Waller ordered a blood test and within about 20 minutes he confirmed Mitch was diabetic. He prescribed insulin and he suggested getting it at Walmart Pharmacy which was much cheaper than CVS or one of the other major pharmacies.
We started Mitch on two units of insulin twice a day and took him back in two weeks for a blood test. Unfortunately his blood sugar had only dropped from 480 to 477 (200 being the top end number that would be acceptable). He doubled Mitch€s dosage and two weeks later he had dropped to 445. I should mention that by this point most of Mitch€s original symptoms had dissipated or were entirely gone. He was a completely different dog at this point running and playing like we hadn€t seen in years. He only occasionally got up during the night to pee. However Dr. Waller still wanted to bring the blood sugar down.
He said there was a possibility Mitch could have Cushing€s disease. He said there was a blood test to check for this, but it was fairly expensive ($350) and wasn€t always conclusive. He didn€t make us feel pressured to do the test, but we told him we wanted to try to rule this out. The test came back negative and Dr. Waller said in Mitch€s case the markers were so low it was conclusive he didn€t have it. He opted to increase Mitch€s dosage to five units twice a day. In two weeks his blood sugar had dropped to 273 and he was feeling great. Dr. Waller said to increase Mitch to six units twice a day and that would be the maximum we would give him. We€ll bring him back in three months to check his blood sugar and if it€s still too high we€ll try a different type of insulin.
This was our first experience at Animal Hospital at Anthem, although we€ve been to many different veterinarians in California over the years. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the care Mitch has received. Dr. Waller has always taken ample time with us and never seemed rushed. He explained what was going on in a way that made it obvious he really knows what he€s doing. His staff is professional and personable and obviously they love animals and treated Mitch with great care. We€ve never waited more than five minutes for Mitch to be seen and when you enter the facility there€s a chalkboard with the names of all the pets being seen that day. It€s a nice touch to let you know they care.
Most folks are concerned about the prices vets charge. The prices at Animal Hospital at Anthem are extremely reasonable. Everything is explained up front and there is no pressure to take needless tests to inflate your bill. As I mentioned earlier we€ve taken dogs to numerous vets over the years and Dr. Waller and this facility are the very best we€ve encountered. I€m thankful we found them for all our dogs. We€ve also recommended them to our best friends and would encourage you to give them a try if you€re in or around the Anthem area. You won€t be disappointed. Read Less

We brought our 13 year old lab in to be put to sleep. She had cancer. It took 4 shots! They weighed her, they knew what she weighed before she got sick, they should have been able to do this with one injection for her comfort and one to put her to sleep. It is difficult enough to make the decision to end your much loved pet's life. It was one of the most traumatic experiences I have ever had. It took over 15 minutes, since they had to leave the room each time to get more medication. Horrible. Hearing about Hannah brought all that back. Even though this was some years ago, I always remember it with great pain.Read Less

These positive reviews are fake. I know that. Google 'Vet Loses Dog'. They were found GUILTY today of losing our baby Hannah and Brian Waller will have a mark on his record for the rest of his life starting today. We took out 12 pound Maltese there on Dec 1st to have a 1500.00 teeth cleaning. She was 8 years old. They lost her after having 8 teeth pulled, didn't call us for 50 minutes and when we went there to pick her up, they told us "We have some Good news and some Bad news. The good news in Hannah's teeth cleaning went great. The bad news is we lost Hannah."We looked for 2 hrs on the 45 degrees weather and pouring rain and found her body on the side of the 1 17 highway. They keep trying to delete this account and start and new one. Better not bother. I will keep checking. They are pending an investigation by the AZ Vet Board right now. We saw them at the preliminary investigation. Dr Waller, Dr Snodgrass and Dr Bernard were laughing and joking around. Our baby is dead because they made the decision not to call us. Read Less

It was a miracle, thanks to such an amazing vet and assistants that helped with Gunner he's alive and well being a happy little boy. He is now a little over 5 months old and at 1.9lbs. I am so very thankful to the Doctors and their staff for saving Gunner. He really touched all our lives then and to this day. I'm not a religious person but I remember that day we dropped Gunner off we were on our way home and my husband asked me if I was falling asleep because my head was down and eyes closed. I said no not falling asleep. He then asked well what are you doing? I replied " I'm praying, that's the only thing I can do right now." Like I said I'm not a religious person but my prayers were answered Dr. Waller and his staff made all that possible.... Thank you to all of you. Read Less

Took my sick 9 month old very active puppy in because she had not moved in 24 hours without screaming in pain. The staff saw her eased my fears and gave me options and steps for care. I took her home with the prescription they provided after receiving fluids. The following day there was marked improvement. The staff called me to check on how she was doing. I am so grateful to them. My puppy 2 days later is almost completely back to normal. They worked with me on payment. Thank you all the staff for caring about my sick fur baby like she was your own. Highly recommend them. Read Less

A couple months ago we noticed our ten year old Chihuahua, Mitch, was losing weight, drinking excessive amounts of water, and getting up to pee multiple times during the night as well as being very lethargic. We feared he might be diabetic. We took him to Animal Hospital at Anthem where he was seen by Dr. Waller. After we described Mitch€s symptoms Dr. Waller ordered a blood test and within about 20 minutes he confirmed Mitch was diabetic. He prescribed insulin and he suggested getting it at Walmart Pharmacy which was much cheaper than CVS or one of the other major pharmacies.
We started Mitch on two units of insulin twice a day and took him back in two weeks for a blood test. Unfortunately his blood sugar had only dropped from 480 to 477 (200 being the top end number that would be acceptable). He doubled Mitch€s dosage and two weeks later he had dropped to 445. I should mention that by this point most of Mitch€s original symptoms had dissipated or were entirely gone. He was a completely different dog at this point running and playing like we hadn€t seen in years. He only occasionally got up during the night to pee. However Dr. Waller still wanted to bring the blood sugar down.
He said there was a possibility Mitch could have Cushing€s disease. He said there was a blood test to check for this, but it was fairly expensive ($350) and wasn€t always conclusive. He didn€t make us feel pressured to do the test, but we told him we wanted to try to rule this out. The test came back negative and Dr. Waller said in Mitch€s case the markers were so low it was conclusive he didn€t have it. He opted to increase Mitch€s dosage to five units twice a day. In two weeks his blood sugar had dropped to 273 and he was feeling great. Dr. Waller said to increase Mitch to six units twice a day and that would be the maximum we would give him. We€ll bring him back in three months to check his blood sugar and if it€s still too high we€ll try a different type of insulin.
This was our first experience at Animal Hospital at Anthem, although we€ve been to many different veterinarians in California over the years. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the care Mitch has received. Dr. Waller has always taken ample time with us and never seemed rushed. He explained what was going on in a way that made it obvious he really knows what he€s doing. His staff is professional and personable and obviously they love animals and treated Mitch with great care. We€ve never waited more than five minutes for Mitch to be seen and when you enter the facility there€s a chalkboard with the names of all the pets being seen that day. It€s a nice touch to let you know they care.
Most folks are concerned about the prices vets charge. The prices at Animal Hospital at Anthem are extremely reasonable. Everything is explained up front and there is no pressure to take needless tests to inflate your bill. As I mentioned earlier we€ve taken dogs to numerous vets over the years and Dr. Waller and this facility are the very best we€ve encountered. I€m thankful we found them for all our dogs. We€ve also recommended them to our best friends and would encourage you to give them a try if you€re in or around the Anthem area. You won€t be disappointed. Read Less

We brought our 13 year old lab in to be put to sleep. She had cancer. It took 4 shots! They weighed her, they knew what she weighed before she got sick, they should have been able to do this with one injection for her comfort and one to put her to sleep. It is difficult enough to make the decision to end your much loved pet's life. It was one of the most traumatic experiences I have ever had. It took over 15 minutes, since they had to leave the room each time to get more medication. Horrible. Hearing about Hannah brought all that back. Even though this was some years ago, I always remember it with great pain.Read Less

Animal Hospital at Anthem has some of the most caring staff I've ever encountered in a vet's office. They were awesome with our cats. Dr. Bernard administered their vaccinations personally and my kitties didn't even flinch! She took time out to get to know our little ones and make sure that they were comfortable. One of my kitties is overweight (21 pounds), but Dr. Bernard was very understanding and helped me to develop a plan of care that would be suitable for both kitties.
After the visit, the technician Sarah even helped me out to the car! The next day, Dr. Bernard called us at home to ensure that Cosmo and Gizmo were doing well after their vaccinations. I highly recommend this vet!!! A+++ Read Less

These positive reviews are fake. I know that. Google 'Vet Loses Dog'. They were found GUILTY today of losing our baby Hannah and Brian Waller will have a mark on his record for the rest of his life starting today. We took out 12 pound Maltese there on Dec 1st to have a 1500.00 teeth cleaning. She was 8 years old. They lost her after having 8 teeth pulled, didn't call us for 50 minutes and when we went there to pick her up, they told us "We have some Good news and some Bad news. The good news in Hannah's teeth cleaning went great. The bad news is we lost Hannah."We looked for 2 hrs on the 45 degrees weather and pouring rain and found her body on the side of the 1 17 highway. They keep trying to delete this account and start and new one. Better not bother. I will keep checking. They are pending an investigation by the AZ Vet Board right now. We saw them at the preliminary investigation. Dr Waller, Dr Snodgrass and Dr Bernard were laughing and joking around. Our baby is dead because they made the decision not to call us. Read Less
