Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital (Mesa) - Mesa, Arizona

I appreciate how calm the doctor and techs were with my Stevie and also with me- considering how scared I was that my snake was so incredibly uncomfortable and sick. The staff's behavior , kindness and confidence in their roles helped me to feel like both myself and my python were in good hands. The atmosphere and attitudes of your staff!

My partner brought her beardie here as it was very sick. Sadly, we had no choice but to put her down. The staff here were so kind and patient. They waited for me to arrive so I could be there with my partner and beardie when it was time to say goodbye which meant the world to us. They even made us two of these clay prints. Hospitals for animals and humans alike can be nightmares. It is especially scary when it is an exotic pet with limited options for them to seek medical care, but this place goes above and beyond. Thank you for your compassionate care during these tough times❤️

Dr. Emily Thulson took care of my daughter's beloved Chinchilla. Her Chinchilla was extremely sick with Pyometra and we were so afraid she was going to not make it. Dr. Thulson is an amazing surgeon and very kind and caring. There really aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for saving the life of my daughters Chinchilla. I was on the way to the hospital for my own surgery a month later. And on the way, got a call to see how my daughter's sweet fur baby was doing. I am so grateful they saved our sweet little girl! My daughter and our Chinchilla's sister are beyond thankful for the surgery and saving her life. The belly fur has grown back from having the surgery. And the weight is coming back to where she is healthy again, like before the Pyometra. Thank you!

Definitely will be returning here for any other other exotic pets! Friendly staff, thorough care, and a nice environment.

I'd never gone here before in my life, lost my budgie of 8 years in the four hours we were there, and don't regret the visit.

From the phone call to them in the beginning they were more than clear with me through each step, and even called back when they had sooner appointment openings.

Everything was explained professionally and they were very friendly and thorough with collecting information; which I greatly appreciate. Throughout the appointment we were able to review the payments for the steps we were taking.

The handling of my pet was super gentle and they took extreme care to monitor their stress levels. I'd never been the one present for the euthanasia of my pets until this, and I felt I was properly informed by staff the entire time. It was a terrifying experience but I don't look back with regret. They didn't sugarcoat things despite me probably being hysterical, and I was given plenty of time with my best friend in her final hours.

They gave me feathers, an imprint of her feet into clay, and even went above and beyond to give me ink impressions of my birds feet at my request. Thank you to everyone on staff who helped us.

We unfortunately had to put down my bearded dragon Yoshi as he got sick out of the random and just rapidly declined from there. Dr. Lewis and the other staff were amazing and made sure Yoshi was well taken care of. Dr. Lewis even went out of her way to write out a condolence card for our loss. We thank you for how well we were treated as well as how Yoshi was treated.

I recently just took my two bunnies here for a check up and vaccination. They took us back to our exam room as soon as we got there and were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about everything they told me. They were very quick and careful with my bunnies. I would 10/10 recommend them to others.

My go to exotic clinic is Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital in Tucson…They’re AMAZING! My guinea pig needed a CT Scan due to a bladder stone and I was referred to the Mesa location. I drove down from Tucson with my Guinea pig. It was our first time here… the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The doctor was friendly and knowledgeable. She explained things to me with patience and took her time to listen and answer all my questions. The doctor even called me after the procedure was done to let me know my little boy was doing well. When the results came in, I received a friendly call from the doctor explaining the results in depth. She was very helpful throughout the entire process. My overall experience was very positive, thank you!

Gizmo suffered injuries due to a dog attack and the staff was very kind and made me feel like gizmo was in good hands. They are knowledgeable in rabbits and that can be hard to find! I trust them with my Gizmo. Tranquility Trails rabbit sanctuary recommended me to Arizona exotic and I have not been disappointed the times I’ve been to the Mesa and phx location. Gizmo is still in good spirits and on play pen rest while he heals up. To the reviews complaining about price - they tell you upfront the cost and will go over it with you and never make you feel uncomfortable and will help try to lower it if need be. And of course it may cost a little more because they are specialized in exotic animals which requires more training and knowledge especially given that many times these exotic animals don’t have as much medical technology and research as dogs/cats.
