Green Valley Animal Hospital 220 East Duval Road, Green Valley, AZ 85614

"Some folks prefer a soft, fuzzy vet. Dr. Sophia is a smart, no-nonsense, very direct vet. She has scolded me in the past (not brushing dog teeth), but it's all in the best interest of the pets I love. I'll be sad when she decides to retire. And, don't expect a fancy office. You're paying for pet health care, not a special ambience."

"I love Dr. K. She doesn't sugar coat it, and that is so refreshing. She loves animals and it shows. Thank you for being you and doing a fantastic job with my 4-legged children."

"Fantastic place. You go back with your pet, they don’t just take them away. Thought my boy had a major problem but was assured he was fine. Got a thorough exam without stressing him. Dr Sophia spent a long time answering ALL my questions. She was the first vet in G. Valley and has been here for 50 years! Great staff and the bill was half what I expected. Why would you go anywhere else?"

"I would give zero stars if I could. Listen to the bad reviews, they are REAL!! I have 4 separate times that we did not have good experiences with this office. I will say, the front desk employee and young vet tech are amazing and super friendly and nice. They care about the people, pets, and truly the only good people in the office. 1. We took our 10 week old pit/bull dog mix in for a check up and she immediately started talking down on the breed with rude comments. I grew up with bully breeds so I ignored her comments but left feeling uneasy. 2. Our pug had a swollen leg one night and wasn’t walking on it. We were able to get into the vet within 2 days where she said it was a snake bite but couldn’t confirm it since she couldn’t find any puncture wounds on his leg. She wouldn’t give him anti-venom because she said it was too late and gave him 2 different shots instead. That day we did see improvements in him and thought things were going to be better. 3. The day after our pug received the shots, he developed a rash on his inner leg so we take pictures and immediately call the vet. We told her we had pictures we could send in or we could bring our pug in, she said she knew what we were talking about and that the rash is the infection trying to get out. She told us that it’s going to look worse before it gets better. Within 24 hours he got way worse, the rash was growing and changing colors, and he wasn’t drinking water or eating any food. We take him to an emergency vet in town where they told us he’s hours away from passing away on his own and we had to put him down right away. The vet here at Green Valley said she has never lost a dog to a snake bite, but now her record isn’t clean and has lost a dog to a potential snake bite. 4. Today we took our now 6 month old pit/bull dog puppy to the vet to get her ears checked out. It was an appointment that we waited a week for after she’s been scratching so much her inner ears are bleeding. She’s a puppy and scared of new people and places still, something we are still working on with training. She walked in to see my puppy curled in a ball in my arms, shaking, and slightly growling. She said if this is how my puppy is going to be, she doesn’t want us as a client. She refused to see us, refused to look at my dogs ears, and almost refused to give me any advice. I kept arguing with her and she finally told me to go to the pet store and get over the counter ear cleaner and to find a new vet. She said with my dog we would have to put a muzzle on her and no one wants to do that. She told me that she’s in her 80’s and isn’t dealing with animals like mine anymore. I left the office crying, I told her that she shouldn’t be a vet if she allows animals to suffer, and thanked her for not helping our other dog which resulted in him being put down. 100% find a different vet and listen to the reviews. It’s time for this lady to finally hit the retirement home."
