Dr. Winston has been my 3 Chihuahuas vet for 10 years. My former vet told me one my dogs had an enlarged heart and she was on blood pressure meds. for 3 years when I moved to AZ. The dog was then 8 yrs old. Dr. Winston examined my dog and told me her heart sounded fine and my former vet could not have diagnosed an enlarged heart with only an x-ray. He recommended stopping the meds. and she immediately became more animated and seemed healthier than ever. She is now 17 and doing well. I also had a Chihuahua that ran in front of a car last year and broke his pelvis. Dr. Winston saw him immediately and administered pain meds quickly before treating. This dog is completely recovered and healthy. You may have a long wait in his office because Dr. Winston is popular, but worth it to get good care for your animals.

He has always been fantastic with my dogs. He doesn't fluff things up and gives his honest educated thoughts on what is going on with my dogs. I always recommend him for anyone wanting a great vet.

Every other vet I've been to has tried to sell me stuff, and talked me into expensive procedures that didn't seem necessary. In the past I knew I'd end up with a $300+ bill no matter what the issue was, so I spent a lot of time debating whether I should take my dog in or not. It was a pleasant shock when I realized that Dr. Winston wasn't even going to ask me what food I fed my dog or tell me I needed to buy an expensive dog shampoo. He tells you the possible ways of addressing your pet's problem, and what he recommends, and then lets you decide, with no guilt trips. I think he's doing a great service to the elderly pet owners of Sun City West by providing affordable care. The cost for my puppy's vaccinations ended up being just a bit more than the animal shelter's vaccination clinic, which was totally worth not driving 45 minutes and standing in line for an hour. He also is available to consult by phone until 10pm if you have an emergency, which is great when you have a puppy who'll eat anything. The office isn't luxurious, and Dr. Winston is really busy, so he's not the vet to go to if you want someone who will spend a lot of time listening to your concerns. But he's kind and thorough and offers excellent care.

The worst place ever! We had to go here to have our puppy that we rescued spayed, and thankfully it did not happen. I dropped our dog off at 8 am and at 130 I recieved a phone call saying that the surgery was not done because she threw up 6 times while at the office. I immediately went to the office to get my puppy, when I did I was telling the techs that she has seperation anxiety issues and they asked why and I explained that she does not like being alone and how nervous it makes her etc. and they kept on pushing the issues that she had food posioning or the stomach flu. When I asked if they had any medications or suggestions that I could have for the time we were resecheduled to go they ignored my request and kept on insisting that it wouldn't happen again. So I took her home and then watched her for the rest of the day and she did not throw up, ate her kibble fine and had normal bowel movements. Then 4 days later we found ticks through out her coat, and we know that they were not from our house because we have never seen ticks on her before. I was horrified by this whole experice and am so thankful that we are able to take her to someplace different to have this proceedure done. I would stay away from them if I were you!

We've taken our two dogs to Dr. Winston for years and they love it there. The staff is great as is Dr. Winston. Not only do we take our dogs there, but my grandparents and my parents take their dogs there too. We all love SCW Animal Hospital! They've saved us so much worry and time and money when caring for our dogs. we really love going here. :)
