On Monday, my 11-year-old cat,which had become rather skinny, wouldn't eat so, I took her to the vet. X-rays didn't show any problems, but the blood work showed that she had become diabetic. Unfortunately, it had affected her liver to the point of no return. I had to make the painful decision to end her suffering. Dr. Katherine Ninni worked heroically to save Peaches, but finally ran out of options. She was caring, kind, and compassionate toward both my cat and me - as I cried my eyes out.
I have two other cats and a dog. All of my pets have always received excellent care from the three vets at this practice: Dr. Ninni, Dr. Rachael Klein, and Dr. Hopp. I would recommend them to anyone.

My son was taking his diabetic dog to Dr. Hopp and that is why I decided to go to him. I have a Westie that is about 12 years old, but she is diabetic and he has been real good about taking care of her. He is very caring and very good. Everything is good about him. They are wonderful. Everybody is great there. His office is nice. The location is nice. I would refer him to everybody.

.I can't bring myself to go there again, after the cold , unfeeling way they handled my dog's death. Also, MY big dog always got VERY upset there. They had to muzzle him to give his shots. Makes me wonder what they did while he was boarded..........???

Desert East has 3 vets, and at least 2 are there all the time. I have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes. They don't take appointments, but that seems to work out ok.

Desert East had reasonable prices; many vets charge more for teeth cleaning and seem to skip steps (like blood work) which added to the initial quote. The vets at Desert East are all knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. They treat my dogs and me with respect, they listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and spend the time they need to keep my dogs healthy and happy. Even though "mean" things happen to my dogs there, such as shots, blood work, and surgery, my pups don't show a ton of anxiety when we go. That tells me they are treated well when I am not around. That's really important when the patient can't speak up for themselves.

I would give them an A+, but I don't have the option.
