    DO NOT GO HERE unless you don't care about your pet. SERIOUSLY! If I could give negative stars, I'd love to give this place negative millions!!! Our little dog was fairly hyper than general; (All the groomers even suggested us to go to the vet and get some help of the medicine.) Anyway, my boyfriend and I went to this place 'Vista Veterinary Hospital' to get some help from the professional on our dog, as we were planning to take our dog to the East Coast the following week. We didn't want her to suffer from stress as well as calm her down a little bit and distress her while she's flying with us. This place gave us a little medicine bottle with few pills - no instruction nor the dosage limit/ only saying, if the medicine seems like doesn't calm her down, give her more as needed. (Even on the bottle, it says ' as needed'). *of course, no description on how DANGEROUS this medicine was. I followed the words of Vet while we were flying for 8 hours. Gave the medicine to our dog as needed and she seemed very calm. However, as soon as we arrived to our family's house in East Coast - she couldn't stop barking. She was very hyper than how she was normally and suddenly she dropped down and had a seizure. She was perfectly healthy dog, no problems with her health - so I was freaking out. She couldn't stand up so I immediately knew I needed to take her to the Vet. But unfortunately, she died while we were heading to the Vet. We tried everything - including CPR. Nothing worked out for us. We told the VET in East Coast what happened and what we gave to her while we were flying. They were very surprised that this place (Vista Vet) even gave us that particular medicine to a healthy dog to just calm it down. They said, the VISTA VET HOSPITAL gave us was purely for the dogs which previously had seizures -and it is to prevent future seizures. Also, they mentioned, it is very surprising to see how they thought of using this medicine as a sedation purpose as they'd never ever give this medicine to a perfectly healthy dog. I was very furious. Called this place and told them what happened. This place, of course, denied their mistake of gave us the wrong kind of medicine. But on top of that, they said the kind of medicine they gave us is what they normally give out to the other pet owners and widely used sedation medicine. I researched for months. (Probably my whole family did.) What they told us wasn't true. The particular medicine they gave to us was mainly for SEIZURE and out of many (probably like 20) 'side-effects', one of them was 'sedation.' This place never said sorry to us, but basically saying the death of our dog was our fault. I am scared to death if this place is still giving out that seizure medicine as a sedation purpose and hurting the dog! I am currently filing complaint, as for me, it seems like they are violating the veterinary medicine law. *Also the other vet recommended to us to sue this place. My dog, she was my precious baby, friend and my everything. If you really care about your pet. Take your pet to the well-known place or at least research them a little more. I really hope this review helps someone..

    The vet at the Vista Animal Hospital is a nice and caring man. He seems very experienced and treated my pets with dignity. He gave me options and accepted staying in my budget. No High pressure sales. I have always been able to get a quick appointment and the doctor always takes plenty of time with me. I've also gone back since it changed hands and I'm equally as pleased with the new Vet. She is so nice and helpful and caring of the animals. I never have to leave their sides.

    He is horrible! He supposedly spayed my cat. My cat still goes into heat every 6-8 weeks and it's hell! He says it is not his fault and wants $600 for exploritory surgery! I have taken my cat to 3 other vets who all said the vet that fixed her didn't do a good job! OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! He refuses to help and says its not his fault. My cat now bites and scratches every vet she goes to. Do not go to this vet it is worth it to pay more and go elsewhere!

    Warning!!! This place is absolutely HORRIBLE! I took my cat there to be de-clawed and they tore the poor little guy up! His paws were deformed looking and took 3x as much time to heal as my last cat I had done in Phoenix. I do not recommend!!!!

    We took our dog here when she ate a large amount of rat poison. The doctor was great, he explained everything to us very well and stayed in constant communication with us. The dog had ingested 3 large bars of rat poison. Doctor Lambarri's quick action and professional care saved Roxie's life. Also, our dog Roxie really took to the staff there. everything was great, thanks Vista Veterinary hospital!! We will definitely be back.
