Daisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital

Daisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital is everything I’ve ever looked for in a vet. They compassionately helped my family through a difficult time and I couldn’t be more thankful that they were there for us.

We switched to DMVH in 2013 from another local vet that I wasn’t happy with. My yorkie never enjoyed going to vet appointments, but that’s changed, he now gets excited to go to DMVH. He instantly liked Dr. Young; she’s a wonderful, caring vet.

DMV isn’t even my vet but I’m considering switching because of the amazing staff, great and caring doctors and their work with Anthem Pets. I have only been a couple of times to drop strays off or have a foster dog treated but I am very impressed with the office. They make you feel like family right away. I can’t comment on their pricing but they are wonderful through and through.

Dr Young and Dr Lee are wonderful and caring. They run the practice as people who care about animals. Not a business. I am thankful that we found them.

Best vet hosptial in the Valley! Caring, knowledge, affordable and a great friend to the local community. Very pleased with the sevice given to my mom and her pets since they’ve opened. Cait is a great assistant!

Going by the 5 star reviews, I decided to try this vet for our 8 year old German Shepard mix. It was a subpar experience at best. The staff was awkward and unprofessional. They didn’t even speak to me (despite being the only person in the tiny waiting area) for several minutes, forcing me to just stand there in front of the desk.
The whole place was dirty with gobs of animal hair around the floors and pee/​drool stains on the upholstered chair seats. There was pee dried on the walls. (Edit: I have since been contacted by a loyal customer of this vet, telling me that it is always spotless when she goes in. Maybe it was a busy day when I was there, but this is just my experience.)
I had to remind the receptionist how much my dog weighed because she forgot less than 5 minutes after weighing him. The vet barely looked in my dog’s mouth and ears and declared him healthy and fit. She didn’t notice that he has a half dollar sized lump in his chest (lipoma diagnosed by our vet in another state) or that he needs a dental cleaning. She didn’t ask if he was current on heartworm meds or offer a dewormer. She did offer helpful tips about living in Arizona with a dog, but I can gather all that info from Google for free. It didn’t make up for the lack of bedside manner and professionalism.
While trying to leave I had to wait awkwardly next to the desk while wrangling my excited dog because there were two other dogs forced together in the tiny waiting room. Anyone who has a dog with leash aggression knows that cramped quarters are a bad idea. I just wanted to pay and get out of there. I basically paid for two vaccinations and a stressful, disgusting hour of my life I won’t get back. We will not be returning.

Best Vet office ever! Very flexible in terms of bringing dog in for regular shots and getting other dog pain medication without seeing them (they see them often already but do not nickle and dime us for every vet visit. Excellent service and they are very kind to our kids.

Dr. Young is the most wonderful vet we’ve EVER had! Our little Chi was so stressed at the local pet hotel that they called us while on vacation. I, in turn, called Dr. Young-​she went right away to the kennel to check her out! She came prepared with medicine and even checked up on her until we got back 2 days later. She’s the absolute real deal of being a caring and loving person and vet. I wouldn’t take my two fur babies to anyone but her.

I was in a major bind, of course late on a Friday with plans to go out of town. My dog’s normal vet could not fit them in their schedule. Feeling defeated and desperately in need of assistance, I called Daisy Mountain Vet Hospital after getting their info from another business. I was sure they couldn’t fit him in their schedule (my dog’s normal vet couldn’t, so why would they?). Well, guess what? They figured out a way to squeeze my guy into their schedule. I know they went through a lot to do so, and I am SO impressed by this business.
immediately felt at ease when I arrived. The vet and staff were very friendly and welcoming, so caring to my senior dog. Their patient rooms are set up perfectly for pets unable to easily hop on an examination table.
Yeah, our family got to take the vacation we so needed but more importantly, I found a wonderful local business that treated my family member as their own, and whom I’d recommend to anyone who wants their pets to have the best care possible.
UPDATE: Some months after my original post, our 14 y/​o boy broke his leg on an evening walk. The staff stayed late for our emergency visit. Unfortunately, we had to say a heavenly goodbye to him. It was one of the hardest things I’ve been through — and I’ve been through some stuff. I couldn’t have asked for more caring people to have been with me while I held him and let him go. They made a terrible moment into a peaceful experience. Thank you, Daisy Mtn Vet!!!

My name is Maggie, and I have a brand new doctor and I’ll never go anywhere else. Dr. Kristin and the whole gang at the clinic could not have been more caring and nice. Not only were they nice to me, but they were really nice to my Dad too. We went somewhere else first, but my Dad didn’t seem nearly as happy when we left there as he was after talking to Dr.Young. I can’t wait to go back to get my teeth cleaned in a month or so. Love… Maggie. These folks were fair and friendly and the bill was actually less when I went back to pick Maggie up than what I was quoted. When did that happen last; anywhere? I was actually allowed to ask a few questions of both the staff and the Dr. without any expectations on their part. This is the kind of vet that you typically only dream of. Thanks Daisy Mountain Vet Clinic?

My pretty little Gabby. I brought Gabby home about a month ago… bought her from a friend that had just had a little of Chorkies and my daughter really wanted one. She immediately fit right in and was love by my other two dogs who welcomed her as their little sister. After about two weeks I posted a pic of her on FaceBook and the gal that I got her from let me know that her brothers and sisters from the litter she came from all had mites. This was foreign to me as I have never had an animal with issues. I tried treating it myslef with information that I found on Google not knowing much about it. It finally got to a point where I ultimately had to take Gabby to the vet. I have lived in Anthem for 5 years and have taken my other two to the other vet in Anthem but had heard good things about Daisy Mountain so I chose to take her there. When I dropped Gabby off I was just overcome with emotion one because I know that taking your animals to the vet can be very costly and two because I felt like a bad mommy for Gabby being the way she was. Gabby was perfectly happy and unless you held her and felt her skin you would never know there was anything wrong with her. So I was blubbering while filling out the paperwork and dropping her off. Jackie was very accomodating with the tissue and reassuring me that every thing would be ok. I called about three hours later to see how Gabby was and Dr. Young got on the phone and explained everything to me and boy was I relieved. To my surprise when I went to pick Gabby up the cost was much lower than I had expected it to be and boy was that a good thing. As I was checking Gabby out a gal from the business next door came over, not knowing who I was, and announced that she was here to see Gabby! That made me feel so good that the team here thought Gabby was special and was telling their friends to come see her! Thank you so much for making this such a pleasant experience and we will see you all in an month!

Daisy Mountain is by far the best vet we have taken any of our pets to. Dr. Kirstin is kind, compassionate, and exceptionally good at what she does. Our dogs needed dental work done (extensive dental work), and since we didn’t know this was necessary — we are the kinds of folks who take our dogs to the vet when they are sick — not for regular check ups, which of course, is less than ideal… but Dr. Kirstin was not judgmental because we had let their teeth go (sort of — they are rescues, so they were already sort of gone on one of them). She is about ¹⁄₃ less than the surrounding vets, and takes extra time to explain what needs to be done, after big procedures. Our dogs are far, FAR happier now that they have their teeth done (and lets be honest, one has nearly NO teeth in her poor little mouth)… I am forever grateful for Dr. Kirstin for taking such good care of our fur family.
