You guys are awesome! I just brought my new puppy & my 7 year old lab. I don't plan to ever go anywhere else, since I discovered you guys. When Dr. Bessert sat down on the floor to draw blood from my 7 year old, it was obvious how well he understands animal behavior. He was far less concerned about getting his pants dirty than making her feel at ease. I've already recommended you to 2 friends.

I love everyone at Desert Spring. Their efficiency, their gentleness with animals, their willingness to go out of their way in many situations, and their overall friendliness. I also really appreciate Dr. Bessert's great cooperation with other veterinarians in the area so that I can move between them freely as needed.

Tried to ask the woman at the front dest, office manager, about a new procedure and she didn't want to talk about it. Said there were no vets in the area that did it and had never heard about it before. Well, I beg to differ, it is becoming very common with people who are breeders. With her attitude, don't think I will come back.
