Sadly, I cannot reccomment Dr. Kile or his office anymore for treating my animals, We had been going to Aashne Animal Hospital for 10 years, but thankfully did not need to go often for anything other than shots. Recently my little dog got caught under my feet and I stepped on her pay, then she began having pain episodes that night where she would yelp/scream, run into the corner, pee herself, and go stiff. I brought her in immediately the next morning to Dr. Kile, and said because he couldn't get her to yelp while she was there that there was not much he could do, so he put her on a mild pain medincine. She only got worse, and wouldn't sleep, kept panting through the night, so I took her back, I asked if it sounds like pain, or is it seizures because I am just not sure what's going on with her, he acted like he was just humoring me to run some blood tests ( I just needed guidance to help my dog ) and $400 later when the tests came back he was smug and said "just as I expected, nothing is wrong with her blood tests". From there he STILL put her on seizure medication, which then made her even MORE sick, and she was waking up from pain 10-12 times a night. I finally called my cousin who works as a Vet tech, and she called her Vet who said , "that does not sound like seizures at all, sounds like when you stepped on her she pinched a nerve or slipped a disc, she should be on a muscle relaxer, steroid, and pain killer, not that mild pain med he gave you and definnitely not the seizure medication". I stopped the meds immediately ( meanwhile she has been like this for a week now, having about 15-20 painful episodes a day and not sleeping at all, and I was told by Dr.Kile to just wait it out). I got her into LifeCare Animal Hospital in Chandler, and they said exactly what my cousin's vet said. That she did NOT have epilepsy, that that medication was given way prematurely, and that she should have been put on a steroid, muscle relaxer, and pain med. Within 24 hours she is doing SOOO much better, sleeping through the night, appetite back, and her episodes are are decreasing dramatically. Aashne Animal hospital wasted $500 of my money on something apparently very easy to diagnose and treat. Cannot recommend them anymore, I feel they were not listening to me or my concerns, and just ran whatever test to get my out of their office, meanwhile my dog was the poor victim.Read Less
