Kaibab Animal Hospital

All I can say is I am incredibly grateful for Dr Wright and his amazing staff! Just this week I had to take both of my small dogs in for urgent care! The staff was friendly and helpful! I took my Chihuahua Terrier in because he had been intensely coughing for several days. They were able to fit us in right away, and we’re really great during the apt. That night my Pug started coughing so hard he starting throwing up. I called the next morning and they squeezed me in between Dr Wrights surgery appointments. The Dr didn’t make me feel rushed or that I was inconveniencing him at all. He took such great care of my pups, offered several options for their care and let me choose what I could afford/​thought was appropriate (didn’t shame me for not choosing certain options) and they offered great payment plans. Thank you guys so much! So glad I drove past their office and that the reviews were actually as great as the experience! We will be customers for life!

A must go for pet owners in the valley. If you live far or not make the drive. The people are top notch and the service is next to none. We moved to North Scottsdale and still make the trip for our dog because they are the best around.

That take great Care of my dog Coco every time. They are upfront with their pricing and are very reasonable. Your animals are in great hands here.

Our year and a half old pit-​lab had a couple cracked nails. One in particular we had been watching for a few days because the crack appeared to be getting bigger. On a Sunday afternoon, we noticed he wasn’t his playful, jumpy self, and he was kind of favoring one leg when he would walk. When we got a good look at his paw, we saw that the nail we had been watching had completely split apart at the top and was basically just sitting on top of the nerve, which was exposed. I got on Unilocal to see if I could find a place that was open on Sunday’s, other than an emergency clinic. Luckily I came across this place. We called them at 1pm and explained the situation (they close at 3 on Sunday’s), and to our relief, they were able to get Mickey in right away to take a look. The vet clipped all of his nails and applied silver nitrate to the bad one so that it could heal. We were so relieved that they were able to get him in on such short notice, not to mention on a Sunday. Luckily, Mickey is doing much better now!

OMG! Love this place!!! And so do my cats! Dr. Wright is not only a miracle worker, he is kind and caring. Dr. Wright will explain things to you in language you can understand. He is patient and will give you options. He really understands the love of pets and the need for sensibility! My kitties respond very well to him because he is just one of those people.
In addition, the entire staff at Kaibab is terrific! They are all friendly and helpful and seem to work together well!
Also, the resident kitties are sweet, friendly and funny. Benny always comes over to say hello and make new furry four legged friends.

What a great find! We had a puppy emergency and stumbled across this place in need of help. Our puppy had been bit and would definitely need stitches. Being a Saturday, we didn’t know where to go. The staff was friendly, comforting and Dr. Wright was patient, kind and attentive. They made this traumatic ordeal seem much less severe and took care of our little puppy swiftly and professionally. We have been back 3 times since and would highly recommend this team for your furry children :)

I have been taking my pets to Kaibab for over 15 years, and while the doctors (and my pets) have changed, my «kids» have always received excellent care. We’ve been seeing Dr. Matchette for the last several years and she always takes plenty of time to explain what she’s doing and what my options are. My cat has diabetes and my dog has Valley Fever so we are in there a lot and I never feel pressured to spend money on unnecessary procedures. They offer reasonable feline and canine health plans, and having both my boys enrolled has saved me quite a bit of $$ in the last year. I also appreciate that they have recently extended their hours to include Sundays. The staff are all really friendly and caring, and they always follow up with a phone call the day after a visit to see how my pet is doing. Five stars =)

Dr. Wright is the best! I had to call last minute for an appointment for my dog’s eyes and they were so friendly and helpful. He was very nice and explained how to put in the eye drops and said they would call to check on us. Thank you for the great care! Highly recommended!

Kaibab Animal Hospital in Scottsdale is one of the best. When I needed my dogs fixed, I gave them a try. Dr. Wright and his team made it a simple process, when I came in with my two doxies in tow. The office is very clean, which made me feel good about the health of my pups. After that, Kaibab became our veterinarian of choice. Both doctors educate you about the suggested procedures beforehand — no surprises. We now take our dogs in for routine exams and the normal services that rambunctious wiener dogs need. I love that you can schedule online. I highly recommend this veterinarian for those in Scottsdale, east Phoenix and the east valley.

Thank you to the staff and Dr. Matchette for the wonderful vet service I received today. My 3 dogs ingested a large bar of chocolate this morning so I called Kaibab and they were able to see me immediately. Dr. Matchette took great care in examining my dogs and explaining what she was doing. Luckily, my pups are OK and Dr Machette let me know what to watch for in the next 24 hours in case of any changes in my dogs behavior. I appreciated the quick appointment time and friendly and helpful staff!

Many thanks to Dr. Wright and his wonderful staff for their kindness, caring and compassion when we had to say goodbye for the last time to our beloved Molly. Their service at the worst time for a pet owner is indicative of their all around service. On behalf of Molly, thank you.

Thank you Dr. Wright for your caring and kindness when helping us with Pickles’ passing. We appreciate you and your assistant coming to our home yesterday evening and helping us make the hardest decision our family has ever had to make. We deeply appreciated your compassion and sincerity.

My dog is a rescue and has high anxiety with strangers and in general. She is especially anxious with men. With that being said, she has know seen Dr. Wright 3 times. This last time was to get some yearly vaccines and a check up. She did her typical run under the chair and hide behavior when Dr. Wright came in the room.
He handled it perfectly and we eventually got her onto the table so he could conduct the exam and give her the vaccines. He is very thorough in explaining everything and answering any questions you have. The appointment setting is easy because they now have an option to book directly via e-​mail. Although it’s a bit expensive ($ 50 every visit minimum for doctor to see animal), I think it’s worth it especially when considering how hard it is to find an Animal Hospital you like.
They also have great follow up and ALWAYS call after Mia has any treatment to check in on how she is doing. I’ve started buying their dog food which is also expensive but my Diva Dog needs the grain free for her little tummy.
Give this place a chance, you won’t regret it!

Well, this place is now under new ownership. I can’t comment on the past owners, but the new owner, Dr. Wright, is amazing. He interacts with my baby girl (Bella) in a way that makes her feel comfortable, even while giving her vaccines. He is VERY thorough both in the work up and the explanation afterwards of what to expect/​watch out for, etc. The office staff is very friendly, and greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. I have followed Dr. Wright around the valley for a reason, he is very competent and able to undertake some pretty advanced medical cases. You can’t go wrong with this guy!

My pup Olive has been going here for several year and with several health issues. The staff has always been kind and accommodating to my girls special needs (she will eat any other furry creature). I have always been seen quickly usually same day and have never had any issues with the care, they will give you options but will not push you if it is something you do not agree with or simply cannot afford. All and all after several bad vets I am so very thankful to have Kaibab close to my house.

I was a Medical Director at a large companion animal practice where Dr. Darren Wright was a Chief of Staff. Through personal observation, I found Dr. Wright to be an excellent veterinarian who always places his patient’s best interest before all else. He is honest and has a remarkable degree of integrity. I can attest, first hand, that Dr. Wright has a very high skill set in medicine and surgery and I trust him with my pet explicitly. Dr. Wright recently purchased Kaibab Animal Hospital and I can see that he has certainly placed his stamp on the practice by the high level of excellence in both client and patient care. I give my highest recommendation for Kaibab Animal Hospital to any pet owner seeking a veterinary hospital for their pet.

We called for an immediate visit because our dog was bit by another dog. They were very sympathetic and said to come right away! Everyone was great from front desk staff, to vet assistant to vet. THANK YOU!

I have been bringing my pets here for years. There is always immediate availability and the staff and vets are great. They genuinely care about my pets and their well being. Although I bring my pets to a clinic for shots and order my scripts online (much more affordable), Kaibab keeps records for me and is helpful in getting my scripts filled online. Vets are not nutritionists so don’t look to them for food recommendations. They do what they are supposed to do and they do it well. I would and do highly recommend them for your pets’ care.

Excellent Veterinary Care!
I really appreciate the knowledge and friendliness of Dr Matchette and the staff. Their actions show they really care about the animals and are concerned about their well-​being. I know when we take our dog for an appointment that she is being treated with kindness and utmost care.

when we got our second dog from the pound, she came with a coupon for a free initial checkup at kaibab. whoo-​hoo. even better? it’s maybe a mile from our house… whoo-​hoo.
so far, our experiences have been positive. they always greet us with a smile and offer many treats and lots of love to our dog. we’ve seen 2 of their vets. both have spent a good amount of time with us, explaining issues and options the couple of times we’ve been in.
they offer a sort of «pet insurance»…basically a yearly fee that covers office visits and basic things like yearly shots, stuff like that. since our dog seemed pretty healthy and young, we opted not to do it yet, perhaps when she’s older.
overall, a great vet place.
