Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

We found out about SMAH when we could not get our boy, Batman, in to see our usual provider on short notice. This became a more frequent need as his health deteriorated over the years, and SMAH never let us down. (Sometimes it meant waiting, sometimes it was an emergency charge, but both were acceptable to us.) We are very glad that we found them. Everyone in the office was exceptional; always courteous and empathetic. (Special shout-out to Dawn, Juli & Sylvia, with whom we usually spoke but all the staff are great.) Drs. Greene & Gupta were always generous with their time, making sure to explain their diagnoses and to answer our questions and concerns. Batman was not a fan of any vet 🙂, but we appreciate SMAH and everything they did for us over the years. We give them two paws up 🐾 🐾 and hope you will too

I know that I only rated it one star and I probably should give it at least two because the veterinarian at Spirit mountain animal hospital is actually quite qualified I think... So. My first visit was about a month ago. I took my cat Layla, my bill was over $700 and that was for an initial visit and exam some antibiotics because she had an ear infection and a gum infection. I could not afford the $700 so suggested that I just take care of the gum infection first and then the ear infection. Took her back Friday because all of her antibiotics from the gum infection were gone and now I wanted to tackle the ear infection. However, I was presented hey Bill for over $900! Practically $1,000 $989! Another disappointment. As far as when we looked at the itemized bill, it did not seem to me that I was getting $1,000 worth of service for my cats plural because I took the other cat in to be checked as well. Another thing that irritated me was in between crying and sobbing because I couldn't get care for my cats who had ear infections because it was too expensive, I told the vet that I would just like to pay the bill and take my cats home. I would have to find helps elsewhere because I could not afford his services. At that time. He informed me that they had already cleaned Layla and Tommy's ears and I would be responsible for that bill. Because I had worked all night on the night shift. I was already crying because they needed care I couldn't afford, I just told them fine and I went out to the desk to pay the bill. It took them about 15 minutes to bring Layla and Tommy to me. And I now looking back think that that was because they were cleaning their ears. I don't think that they had cleaned their ears already. I don't think that the vet expected me to tell him. Never mind. I would go elsewhere. And that infuriates me. Another point was they are not supposed to administer any kind of care without my approval first to make sure that I can pay. So all of these things added up together. Tell me that this is a dishonest veterinarian clinic and I would not recommend taking your beloved animals there for care.

The staff is amazing! They were the only ones that offered to help us in our time of need with our pup, Easton. Sadly, He is puppy heaven. We will only take our fur babies to them. They're gentle, caring, attentive, and put our little ones at ease. Thank you to the staff at Spirit Mountain Animal Hospital.

I adore Dr. Gupta and his team. They are so great to my babies and due to the seriousness of the situation they regularly checked in. Great service.
