I often feel like they care for our cats as much as we do. They know who each of them are, know their personalities, and they discuss their care with compassion, sensitivity and with full consideration. If only they could mentor other health care professionals for humans.

The staff is super friendly and they are always supportive. They made sure to do regular follow ups after every checkup. We had emergency with our dog and they scheduled appointment for us at the last minute. Doctor Mafara is one of the best in the industry. His diagnosis is correct 100% of the time. I would 100% recommend this place for your pets.

Found this place through my insurance company. Front desk staff was nice, my vet tech was nice, but unfortunately won't be returning. My 75lb large mix breed has been limping and to my frustration, the "relief vet" who saw her did not physically touch my dog during the appointment (so glad I payed an exam fee for her to just "expertly" sit and watch by dog lay on the ground of the exam room). Upon entering the room, then gave me the unfortunate news that surgery was my only option for a cruciate ligament rupture. She then recommended sedated x-rays to schedule before surgery- although she could not tell me the type of surgery that this hospital offered (TPLO or TTA). After our 5 minute hands-off appointment, the front desk informed me Dr. Mufara is not board certified for the procedure he will could performing and therefore that there can be a "weight limit" to the procedures he can perform... remember by dog is a large 75lb mix breed. It is disheartening to leave with such a terrible gut feeling after the lack of examination and the principle of recommending surgery while also failing to even know the type of procedure, limitation to the procedure, and lack of credentialing.

Unsafe and uncaring - avoid at all costsI brought my young healthy little girl Tufty to this facility for a routine dental. Four days later she was dead due to mistakes made by the doctors and technicians.After the surgery, she was very listless and did not want to drink or eat. We immediately contacted the vet tech to tell her there was a problem. They assured us this was normal.The next day she was much worse. We contacted the vet tech and she again told us this was normal and we should not worry. We insisted on an appointment. They grudgingly allowed us to come in to see Doctor Mafara.When he entered, he didn't seem very interested and acted like we were wasting his time. We had to argue to convince him to do a blood test. An hour and ten minutes later he returned and was very evasive (these blood tests take around thirty minutes to run). After hemming and hawing for two or three minutes, he said her kidney values were not good. In fact, her values were so bad they could not be tracked by the machine. Since they were about to close, he said there wasn't much they could do to help her.We immediately rushed her to the local hospital AVECCC. They tried to help her but it was too late. She suffered and struggled for a few days but the damage to her kidneys was too severe. After her death, the AVECCC doctors talked us through the mistakes that the East Valley technicians had probably made. They had not carefully monitored her fluid levels during surgery or in after care, or they had improperly administered the NSAID-based anti-inflammatory, or they did not monitor her blood pressure correctly. I had to take her to a completely different facility to find out what happened and to get help.At no time did any technician or doctor at East Valley show any interest in her problems. While my little girl was suffering, they showed no urgency at all to help her. They were too busy laughing and joking with the perfectly healthy animals in the waiting room. I contacted them after her death but they have not apologized or even attempted to explain how they will change procedures to prevent this from happening again.My little girl suffered a painful unnecessary death due to the carelessness and cruelty of this horrible group of people. Her happy life was stolen from her. If you truly care about your pets, keep them from far away from this place."Dr" Mafara will probably say that he has never seen anything like this before. It was simply a rare complication. This speaks to his inexperience because many other vets have seen these problems. And could point to the most likely causes.

Dr. Mafara is hands down the best vet our dogs have ever had. He listens, explains with all details, works with you and your pets needs, while being so genuine. Him and his team have been amazing with all 3 of our dogs and we will continue to go to hime even though we live an hour away.

Due to moving I have been to a few vets in my years but I truly love this veterinary office! Everyone is so helpful and always willing to answer my many questions lol! My pup has never tried to go back into the vet office until now. She doesn’t want to leave because everyone lives on her so much! They get 5 stars from me and Sierra (my pup)!
