Dynamite Creek Animal Hospital

Called this morning and was able to get my 15 year old cat in at 11:45 today. Dr. Hutchinson was such a nice man and his vet tech (didn’t catch her name) was so sweet. I hope I found them soon enough for Spooks sake. I will be back.

We LOVE this Vet & his staff!
This office is full of caring, kind, animal loving people. They have always provided wonderful service and care to all of our dogs, including and especially to one who was terminally ill.
We first met Dr. Tom (Thomas Hutchison) in 2006 when a dog ran out of the nearby park into our car. We took the dog, puppy really, to his office, hoping that there was a chip, or something to identify this little dog. There was not, and he assured me that the dog had passed. I was almost inconsolable.
We started using this vet in 2007, when our regular vet was too busy to see our dog who had been bitten by a snake.
The staffs kind caring attitude made it a simple choice when I needed a new vet, and he took us in immediately… like they always do. I went to see him today because our Aussie broke nail vertically the full length. They fit us right in.

I’ve been taking my dogs here for many years and have always been pleased. Dr Hutchison and the staff are all great. You can tell they really love animals and are so kind and personable. I think it’s great that they always greet me by name and are so welcoming. I would highly recommend them.

My wife and I just started coming here with our new puppy, and I have to say we are very impressed. The entire staff is kind, knowledgeable, and understanding.
The compassion they show has gone above and beyond what we would expect, and they even took time out of their busy day to show us how to properly clip our puppy’s nails, which can be an intimidating task.
Over Christmas we had to take the pup to the doggy ER, and the next morning we received a call from our vet to make sure she was OK! Again, truly impressed with everyone at Dynamite Creek Animal Hospital. They even gave us the first checkup at no charge since she was a rescue!
Thank you so much for your compassion and professionalism.

We had an excellent experience at Dynamite Creek. Called to make an appt and they got us in that afternoon. Alvin, the vet tech at the desk, greeted our pups by name when we walked in the door, even though he had never met them. Chris, the other vet tech, immediately came out to meet the girls and say hello. The facility is very clean and organized. Dr. Tom entered the examining room within minutes of our appt time — he was very nice and thorough, asked a lot of questions. But we liked that he was able to accept our most recent lab reports and exams, instead of insisting he had to run them again himself — unlike our previous vet. He was very low maintenance and straight forward. We didn’t feel like he was going to baffle us with a lot of medical terms and rambling scenarios, but shoot-​from-​the hip. Or call us at 8 pm on a Saturday night after we waited a week for test results. He gave our little girl all her shots and a check-​up, and even though our older girl was up-​to-​date on her vaccines, he gave her a going over and said she looked good. (And when we checked out, we saw he hadn’t charged for that!) But most importantly, our older girl really gets nervous at the vet — she shakes like a leaf and paces and pants. I don’t know what was going on at Dynamite Creek, but it must have good vibes. She didn’t shake at all and actually laid down and relaxed!!! We couldn’t believe it. And then, Dr. Tom and Alvin said we were good for everything, and unless we had a problem, they would see us next year! So unlike a previous experience, where they wanted to do $ 250 tests every other month, but explaining why with so much medical jargon, we weren’t sure what was going on! We were so impressed and are very happy!

If you are looking for honest, reasonable care for your pet, this is the place. I was greeted at the door by two very friendly ladies, one the asst who would help weigh my dog and one the clerk who checked me out! I was seen in three minutes! No waiting! The dr came in and was efficient and detailed. The dog was due for vaccinations, after a discussion of our home environment, Dr. Tom determined that only one was necessary! Who does that; an honest doctor that’s not just about making a buck, that’s who! So I went in prepared to pay 130.00 that I was quoted and only had to pay 80! I love this place! This is very refreshing considering that my personal Heath care providers in Scottsdale seem to be charging for every little thing in order to pay for their posh offices! I was glad to see that there are friendly, honest places to go, at least for my animals! If you want a fancy office; go somewhere else. If you want people who care about animals and don’t want to rip you off; go here!

I haven’t visited here for a while after I moved. But after I lost my dog because of vet’s premature experience and knowledge from Pinnacle Peak Animal Hospital, I took other dog to DCAH where my daughter took my dogs occasionally.
I told Dr. Hutchinson that my dog deceased from IMHA and he instantaneously answered how to medicate the dog and what we have to be careful about, which Dr. D from PPAH had entirely missed.
Though DCAH is a small hospital, people there showed very decent but not excessive caring.
And I was very much impressed at gentle attitude and solid knowledge of Dr. Hutchinson.

I cannot say enough about the impeccable experience I’ve had at Dynamite Creek. Alvin was the most comforting, professional, and understanding tech (even despite my anxiety being about six million times higher than usual). Dr. H was equally caring. We are three days post op on our Paisley’s ACL surgery and doing great. I genuinely appreciate the dedication, Dynamite Creek!

Im dont write reviews very often BUT every now and then i encounter a business that deserves one!!! I have known about this place a long time l but never made it in. Im regretting that i hadnt gone in sooner, so DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME! This group of kind, loving, knowledgeable, and professional people are above any & all expectations!!! Ive never felt so much support from a bunch a strangers in my life and they treated my dog «Tatum» as if they had known her for years and raised her themselves! The respect they gave me and Tatum reminded me that there are still businesses out there that are about quality of service/​care above the check your gonna write them! I, with every ounce of my being, recommend this Animal Hospital, if your like me and really nervous when seeking a good «vet» or what I call Doctor, this is the best place in the state of Arizona!!! I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

We have been using Dynamite Creek for 5 years with great success. Our dog has had 2 successful operations there. One was an embilicle hernia and the second a difficult ACL repair. Both came out with great results. The doctor is knowledgeable and the staff is helpful. Threre are no negatives.

i’m not a big Unilocaler unless I’m looking for a review or I feel it is important to get a review out there… good or bad… however, this vet and his staff are awesome!
I had to put a dog down in October and they were so caring of my dog and my feelings. Because I was taking my dog back home with me to be buried on our property, 2 members of their staff came right out to our van and climbed in and did it right where my dog was comfortable. So easy when you are in that situation! Awesome!
Just recently my cat had an issue and what I liked was the Vet gave me other options before doing surgery. We did end up doing the surgery after the other options didn’t work and again, awesome staff! They are so tender with your animal. The staff treats you like family and are so very kind. Dynamite Creek truly understands how important your pets are to your faimly!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
