Dr. G is the new owner of the practice as of late 2009 and since he has taken over, it has become a very different place to bring pets. While sitting in the lobby a man was waiting for his records telling me that Dr. G never returned calls after hours and his dog died. Separately, there is a $12 cost on top of any prescriptions filled - ridiculous. Dr. G is one of these doctors that says "leave everything to me" - next thing you know you have a bill for hundreds of dollars for tests that have been performed without your consent. This has happened on multiple occasions. Each time his diagnosis has been incorrect. Other vets who are more conservative in their approach seem to be able to find the problem/cause without it costing hundreds of hundreds of dollars in unnecessary tests. This used to be a great place to take pets for care. With this new ownership and lack of sensitivity, I highly recommend a new vet.

While I dont want to discredit anyones reviews on here, I do want to say that Dr. "G" has been a delight! From the moment he met our dog and our family, he was wonderful! He does have the attitude of "Dont worry, I will take care of everything" and I like that! He went the extra mile and was extremely quick to follow up with us...even when he was at his daughters soccer game! Who does that?! Needless to say, we will be a loyal follower of Dr. G and his practice. Our dog is well taken care of with him and our family could not be happier!

I have taken our dogs to Canyon Animal Hospital for 30+ years. Our animals have seen all the doctors who are professional, knowledgeable and caring In fact, our current dog loves going to see the veterinarian as he always gets a treat. Nine years ago I had to put two animals to sleep within a short time of each other due to their old age and extremely poor health. Dr. Hamil counseled me lovingly and professionally as I had no experience in these type of matters.

Im surprised at the 2 negative comments about Dr. G. He has taken exceptional care of our cavalier, Miss Penny. He has surgically removed bladder stones, changed her diet do an allergy that he detected and he always takes time with the pet owner to explain everything. We have found his prices below the costs that we paid for doc visits with our first cavalier.

In my last animal hours, Dr G and the staff acted quickly, professionally, and competently. They did everything they could to save my dear dog and , when it was clear that it was not in the best interests of my dog, Dr. G told me that if it was his dog, he would not allow it to suffer by further treatment. I appreciate his honesty. Was wa

We had heard that Dr. G was THE doc to take your Wheaten to. Yes, they were absolutely right on. Barkley came in out of sorts and listless with Gastrointestinal and skin ailments. He changed his diet and altered his medications. Now he bounds around and jumps on people (Wheaten Greetin) just like he used to. Heeeeeeez back! Thanks Dr G!

My whole experience at canyon animal hospital has been nothing but positive. Over the last few years I have see all of the doctors, and have nothing but great things to say. I have complete confidence in their diagnostics and treatments offered. Would highly recommend!!!

You will not find a more knowledgeable or compassionate veterinary office anywhere. My family has been coming here since my grandfather took my mothers dog sometime in the late 60s, and I will continue to bring my pets here until its my childrens turn to take over.

Weve been taking our girls (Lab and Bloodhound) there for several years now and can not say enough wonderful things about the clinical staff and front desk ladies. Dr. Alcala is one of our very favorite people on the planet!

Dr G is not the most sensitive Vet around...Avoid him if you dont like the idea of profits over concern for your pet. Profits arent the problem, he could use a customer sensitivity training session

I really like Dr. Hamil, but I will no longer bring my pets here because I dont care for Dr. G. I agree with the comments left by Steven.
