Dr Coats and Kirrin was able to reassure me that my highly reactive -fear-agressive dog was in great hands. They were able to give her vaccinations, and x ray her hips without any issues. She was calm and happy as we left.

We took our new pup to Desert Hills Animal Hospital yesterday for her first visit with Dr. Coates, and we couldn’t be happier! Right from the start, the outside of the building looked clean and well-kept, with a freshly mowed lawn. When we walked inside, it didn't smell like a typical vet office at all—it was incredibly clean. In fact, the front desk team was constantly cleaning and mopping, and they were so kind to us. Our vet assistant was amazing and truly listened to all of my concerns. Dr. Coates was fantastic—she recommended vaccine options but never pushed anything on us. I felt completely confident in the decisions made for my pup's care, and I genuinely look forward to having Dr. Coates look after her throughout her life. Highly recommend!

The front desk always greats me with a smile. Avery always takes good care of Joey and Joey gets so excited to go to the vet. Love and respect all of the doctors. Both my mom and sister have both followed me to Desert Hills. Have been a loyal patron for over 30 years. Many more years to a success and prosperity. Dr. Hirshman would be proud of the business you have continued to build.
