Ambassador Animal Hospital keeps the cleanest tile & grout floor work, this animal hospital is most highly recommended!!!

Dr. Joiner did not at all seem unempathetic to me. He took in my 12 yr old chihuahua, Io, with dental disease promtly and affectionately. Io was returned to me in a warm blanket, with antibiotics and post-surgery doggy pain meds, as well as a brighter future. I've never seen my dog happier, or so at ease! Dr. Joiner even called two days in a row to check in on Io. I Was going to send a thank you card to Ambassador, but I waited too long and now it seems the window of opportunity has closed, but they definately deserve at least a great big THANKS! Polite staff. A bit eccentric, however sweet, and prompt veterinarian. A quaint, quiet office. I will definately be back. A little pricey though, but that's all.

Over the past few years, two of our dogs have been misdiagnosed by Ambassador. Because of this, they have suffered needlesly. By the time they finally decided our first dog had cancer, it was too late and nothing could be done to save him. We will NEVER take another animal to them again! I only gave them 1 star because 0 stars wasn't an option.

Parvo=very expensive. Giardia= similar to parvo, fixed with a little amoxicillian. They were awesome at the front desk, loaded with confidence, but the doctor missed the diagnosis and the result wzas a very miserable puppy for 2 days that didn't need to be. The amoxicillian fix took 14 hours to fully recover. I would recommend the front desk and the actual building in a second as it is warm and kid friendly, but the doctor did NOT inspire return business. Will

Dr. Joiner, the owner of Ambassador, used to be a kind, considerate, compassionate vet, or at least that's the facade he displayed, until a few years ago when my beloved golden retriever displayed all the classic symptoms of kidney failure from eating tainted dog treats. Rather than go online to see what else besides pet food had been recalled, Dr. Joiner, knowing I suffer from a chronic pain condition worsened by activities like driving, insisted I take my adored and cherished little girl to a more expensive veterinary hospital more than 20 miles away (each way), where the so-called specialists would take care of her. Not only did my pain get worse but so did my dog as I spent countless hundreds of dollars to try to save her, as I had with Dr. Joiner, even though no one could provide me with a diagnosis. Even when I asked the veterinary specialists at this animal hospital in Paradise Valley to test my baby to see if there was some sort of toxin in her body, the answer was, "We can't test unless we know what to test for." Dr. Joiner knew my dog was doomed and led me on with false hopes of her survival just to get more money. When I adopted another dog, he insisted that she didn't have the health problems that I told him I was sure she had and which tests proved she did have. Then, when she had a growth on her side, knowing I am on a fixed income and that stress worsens my excruciating pain conditions, he insisted I had to spend $1,000.00 for immediate surgery since the growth was probably "cancer". I took her to another vet who relieved my fears, and have been with him since. Employee Danielle has no remorse or compassion, and it's clear that Dr. Joiner is no longer the man or the vet that he once was, caring nothing for the well-being of his human or animal clients. Don't take your animals there under any circumstances.
