Briarcrest Veterinary Care Center PLLC - Tucson, Arizona

Claire Place

We are fairly new to Briarcrest (since January 2023) but we have been so happy with our pets’ care here, and we love Dr. Maki and her caring staff! They helped us smoothly transition from our previous veterinarian who retired, then our ten year old border collie unfortunately had a sudden medical emergency, and they were very compassionate through our decision to have to let him go peacefully… We were so sad after our loss, and we recently added a new puppy to our family. Dr Maki was so sweet and happy for us when we arrived for our new puppy appointment! We really appreciate everything she and her staff have done for us in the short time we have been with them.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr Collins and the staff at Briarcrest. My dog can be a little anxious , but they put her at ease, you can tell they truly care about our pets.
I would highly recommend Briarcrest for your loved fur babies.

my dog wasn’t able to walk so we brought her in for her legs, they were kind with her but then drugged her up she declined immediately after we left the vet. She passed away 5 days after the appointment. They had me give her 4 different prescriptions but yet didn’t even know what was wrong with her 100%. I feel the drugs along with injection and patch was too much and made her worse. she was so bad after she left and now i have to deal with the guilt of taking her here when she probably would’ve been better going somewhere else, not only that she wasn’t even that bad when we brought her there compared to after she got back home, on top of spending $1800 & $200-300 for meds. she would’ve been fine if we didn’t take her here, i just feel the vets her have less experience and knowledge then others and they dosed her up and drugged her up so bad… she wasnt even the way she was when she left them, so save your fur babies and take them somewhere where a vet/ company cares and has better knowledge and experience. Now due to the circumstances i lost my dog and money so thanks for helping?!?!!

Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Collins and her staff. Everyone was very nice from receptionist, to vet tech, to vet. Did a thorough exam of our Chloe, recommended options and followed through. Looking forward to working with Dr. Collins to get our girl better.

Absolutely the best, most compassionate Veterinary clinic anywhere. I already had one dog there for routine dental care when my dog Rigby had a medical emergency. They met me at the door, took him in and gave him great care even though it threw off their schedule. Thanks, Dr. Collins and all the fantastic vet techs who helped out.

We are not existing clients, but I called yesterday to see if they could fit us in soon for nail clipping. I warned them our dog is extremely fearful and sensitive, and might require sedation. They asked if I could come today. I also warned them our dog can be fear aggressive with other dogs and they said it wouldn’t be a problem. Everything went great!!! It was unbelievable. They didn’t need to use sedation. They also recommended options for treatment of some occasional pain issues and let me choose what best fit our wallet and lifestyle. It’s our first truly positive experience with a vet with this particular dog. We will be back!

Dr Collins and the team at Briarcrest are amazing! We moved to Tucson a few months ago and were truly lucky to find such a great place to care for our dogs. Even though they’re very busy, they’ve always been accommodating when we’ve had “medical emergencies”…and we’ve had our share over the last couple months. They’re very communicative and do their best to make sure our dogs happy and healthy. We always know that our babies will get the best care.

I adopted a dog whose previous owner took him to Briarcrest. I have continued to use them even though it takes me over an hour to get there. My dog's Vet (Collins) and her vet tech are both terrific, personable, and not prone to rushing you in and out. They both took time to answer a number of questions I had about caring for, and training, a middle-aged adopted pooch.

There are some logistical inconveniences for me, but i have great confidence in the staff and will continue to take my dog there.
