Making a Difference

Two weeks ago, I went to Flagstaff with my mom and our two dogs, Lolli and DD. Lolli is 7 years old and DD just turned 1. She is a ‘goat” – she eats everything and anything (my softball, shoes, books – you name it). That evening we went to the movies on the Meadow field, got home and went to bed.

There are not enough words to say how kind, caring and compassionate this clinic is. They absolutely saved our family member, Peachy, after she ate Macadamia Nuts (I had no idea they are toxic to dogs). We were given transparent financial information before proceeding with anything and were allowed ample “visiting” time. Highly recommend and warmest thanks!
Downard
Absolutely an amazing place. They saved my dog’s life and went above and beyond to care for him & put us at ease. The surgeon did an incredible job & thoroughly explained to me what happened in surgery. He was so awesome, recommending things that will improve my dog’s life from now going forward – this is a staff of people who really care! I cannot thank the staff enough for how professional and nice they all were.

We were on a return trip from LA to Houston through Flagstaff when our girl got sick and died in the car. We brought her in to the clinic and couldn’t have asked for a more helpful and caring staff. They gave us time to say goodbye and helped us decide our options for her final disposition. We’re so grateful to them for their help when we needed it the most.

I have to say Dr. Barnes knew what she was doing. She was the only vet who got my dog in during a crisis and saved her life. She explained all lab results and costs as we went through care. The best part? She was patient and kind with myself and my dog. The staff was great and prices expected.
Stephanie
Thank you Dr. Wassef, Craig, and ladies at the front desk. You made this incident with my Eli a positive experience. Thank you for being such caring humans to my doggie. The clinic is super clean, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I absolutely recommend this clinic to the community of Flagstaff.
Laura
Very happy with the care here, we had to bring our dog in while we were on a roadtrip. They are nice people who are clearly very caring and knowledgeable, treatment for my dog worked and they called me 5 days later to make sure my dog was doing better.
Rachel

We had to bring our big boy Great Dane in last weekend for a limp. It was our first time working with this facility and they were AMAZING!!! Genuine concern, highest standard of care, no extra charges, and quick service. While I hope we don’t need an emergency vet again anytime soon, I’m so thankful we have this special clinic in our community. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.

Dawn

Had to take our weimaraner in on Saturday morning, Dr. Wassef and the entire staff were very caring and competent!! We had thought she was having problems with her hind legs, however, upon examination he noticed her stomach was bloated. Turned out she was in serious risk of twisted stomach, his treatment plan was successful and after a very scary weekend, she is home and well! We could not be more grateful for his attention to detail and care. Thanks for saving our Bella!!!

Misty

An excellent facility with highly trained and knowledgeable staff. The VESCONA team always puts the patient first, and are caring and empathetic. They understand that our pets are truly a part of the family. I would highly recommend VESCONA for any of your veterinary emergencies!

Ariel

A wonderful and compassionate doc and staff. My cat Stormy was severally injured and he received the best care. I drove here from Show Low Az late at night. What an amazing, loving place. For the work they had to do on my cat, their prices were fantastic. You just don’t get a better vet! Thank you to everyone at Veterinary Emergency. Because of you, Stormy is well and alive.

Dr. Wassef and his team are so very amazing!!! So grateful for their honest explanation of costs and risks, their dedication, and all the love they gave my sweet Yota!!
Dr. Wassef solved a problem I’d spent thousands of dollars trying to resolve with his previous vet while Yota’s health only continued to decline.
Glad I trusted my intuition and went to Dr. Wassef! And grateful Yota’s mass of hairbands finally shifted to cause a complete blockage at a time and place when I could find the right man to do the job!
I would trust Dr. Wassef and his team with anything, and Yota always gets the best!!
Thanks again for everything; I cannot express how happy I am!
