Review from Matthew D.
Tempe, AZ
Yelp just reminded me about this place saying, "You have a draft."
Well, it's a draft no longer.
One reason that many pet stores suck in the small animal department is that they don't always sex their little guys properly. We learned this first hand when we discovered that the second guinea pig sow we bought was actually a boar, and our sow was pregnant. Due to a lack of hormone production, our little girl had neither milk nor maternal instinct, and we lost all four pups.
Knowing that birth was very risky for guinea pigs, we found the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital that very day (Saturday), and rushed her over as well as her lost litter. This is not a vet for dogs and cats. These folks handle exclusively exotics like rodents, lizards, birds, fish, and I was told that they even had coral as a patient once.
We knew right away that our little Cocoa was in good hands with Dr. Johnson. She was still bleeding and was listless and underweight. He prescribed an antibiotic as a guard against infection as well as a good aftercare regimen. As for the lost pups, they know someone who will, free of charge, cremate all animal remains in a dignified manner. I think this is wonderful--at least you know that your beloved lost pet won't end up in a scrap bucket or used for dissections somewhere. These folks really do care. They even called us back after a couple of days to make sure that Cocoa was doing all right.
About a week and a half later, we found that our girl was not eating at all anymore and was starting to lose a dangerous amount of weight. Back to Dr. Johnson. Judging from what he saw, he then prescribed a probiotic to help her gut get going again. Now, less than a week later, her appetite is improving, and she is eating her veggies once more.
Two great experiences with the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital earns five great stars from us. Our girl is on the mend and we are very happy. There are a lot of great vets in the Valley, but for small animal care, accept no substitutes. If you need care for your exotic, you need professionals that have the experience and specialization that they do. Look no further.Listed in: Great Non-Restaurants

I took my rat, with a large tumor on his inside thigh, to see Dr. Kevin Wright. He was very professional and compansionate. He went over all options and didn't push any one of them. Took the time to explain things and allowed me to make my decision without pushing one way or the other. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. I would highly recommend the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital to care for your pets.

I took my bearded dragon Loki to the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital today for a checkup. I've had him two months and just wanted to make sure everything was OK.
I was really impressed by the facility and everyone there. It's bright, open, and clean, and the staff were very friendly. There wasn't a lot of paperwork and we hardly had to wait.
Loki saw Dr. Johnson, who was very kind and knowledgeable. He took great care of Loki. Loki is just fine, but I'm happy we made the trip, both for my own peace of mind and also because I got to visit a great veterinarian. -

I used to see Dr. Johnson at University Animal Hospital in Tempe. My Chinese Water Dragon was my first pet as a "grown up" out of my parents house. He was followed by a cat and dog, and I saw Dr. J for all of them. We had some pretty big health issues with my cat and Dr. J was so great at helping me make the right decisions for him, being clear about what costs and treatment options were, and genuinely seemed to care about my animals. When my lizard died, he sent me a sympathy card.
I moved away to La. for a few years, and I was so sad when I came back to find he'd left University and was now only treating exotics (although I do love my new dog/cat vet there - see other review).
I recently adopted a sulcata so it was off to Arizona Exotic to see Dr. Johnson for a well check. He patiently answered all my questions (and as a person new to tortoise care - I had a lot of them). All of the staff there were great.
Recently I used them for boarding and they were really nice at taking my tortoise at the last minute and very reasonable.
I can't think of anything I would do to improve the place. I definitely recommend this hospital to anyone. -

I too, highly recommend the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital. Dr Wright and is staff are so kind, caring, helpful and knowledgable. They saw me thru a difficult time with my parrot of over 20 years who had cancer. I have 3 other parrots who are patients of Dr. Wright and he helps me keep them healthy and happy.
