Dr Aragon did surgery on my dog the next day. They made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. She's like my kid. Only the best for her. Told me up front the price, and that was it. They didn't have any hidden fees. We love them and you would too. Safe was great helping me under stand anything i was unsure about. Yvonne Z

All the staff was very professional, the doctor did a fantastic job on my dogs rear left leg he's recovering nicely. The time that the doctor spend with us explaining the procedure was very reassuring. Highly recommend this facility if your pet needs surgery.

This place is the BEST!!!!! I met with Dr. Aragon for our consultation after my dog Jozie tore her ACL. I can simply not say enough about him and his staff. He was so thorough and professional. He explained every little detail in depth. I knew that my dogs well-being was their number 1 priority. I love that they have a Board Certified Anesthesiologist to oversee each case. Each pet has their own anesthetic protocol catered to their very own specific needs. If you want quality specialized care, this is the place to bring your fur babies. Jozie's technician Angelina was INCREDIBLE. So knowledgeable and helpful. All the way through till the end. After surgery Dr. Aragon noticed some muscle atrophy and felt that she would benefit from physical therapy. I was able to get in right away to see Dr. Appel, the Physical Therapist. WOW! Dr. Appel and her Nurse Erin where great! They were so helpful in helping Jozie achieve her goals, and regaining muscle strength in that leg. I could never thank them enough for all they have done for Jozie. You have such a wonderful team of Doctors and Nurses. THANK YOU!!!!!

Dr Aragon & his staff were very accommodating and fully understood how nervous a puppy mom can be. They explained everything they were going to do to my girl and requested my input at each step. Thank you everyone!

After finding out that our sweet pup has an aggressive cancer, amputating her leg was our only option to relieve her pain. I am not able to say enough good things about Dr. Benjamino and the kind nurses at AVS. They were so thorough, never made me feel rushed and answered every question that I had. The people really care about your animal, which makes the money worth it!
