Countryside Animal Hospital

I came here for a second opinion on my Pomeranian, who was showing signs of kennel cough, with some concern about a possible partially collapsed trachea. Dr. Alison Widener was excellent. She was empathetic, clear, and easy to talk to. She never spoke over me or made things feel rushed. She took the time to explain everything in a straightforward way and involved me in the decision-making process rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. I especially appreciated her balanced approach: we agreed on a plan to monitor progress and follow up if needed, which felt thoughtful and appropriate. She also interacted really well with my dog, which made a big difference. Overall, a very positive experience. I will definitely be returning and bringing all 4 of my dogs to her moving forward. I give my full recommendation to Dr. Widener for others.

First visit was wonderful was able to take the 3 fluffs in all at once which was much easier than taking them in on separate times. They even had a cute little welcome sign for us. That was adorable and got all the character names, right! Very impressed also was able to discuss different options for my puppy as the vet was able to notice something wrong for the with her knee. Happy to be on top of that and to get it while she’s young so that it doesn’t cause damage in the future, but can heal nice and easy when she’s young.

My pup Leo and I had a great first time visit with Dr. Ciminello. She was very friendly and informative. Leo was prescribed a good treatment plan and I am confident that my dog is going to receive wonderful care from them going forward.

Great team at front desk as well as doctors and aides! Loving care and attention to pets as well as family’s needs. They take their time and approach the animals on their own terms. My cat was sitting on the counter by the vet as she was entering information into their system 😁

I have gone to this vet for many years with my dog Ozzie, he’s a rescue who is very scared and timid at the vet. The team at Countryside always go above and beyond to make him feel as comfortable as possible, providing accommodations that fit his needs (like not picking him up and performing his exam on the floor). We drive out of our way to go here, and I am grateful for the care that Countryside provides after essentially being shunned by other vet offices due to my dog’s fear. They also do a wonderful job with our cat. Highly recommend this vet to all pet parents!

I have always had a positive experience at Countryside. All of the vets and staff are extremely friendly, helpful and caring. My dog is needing dental surgery, and I feel very confident that he’ll receive excellent care.

Dr. Phalen Smith is absolutely amazing and has taken such good care of my 4 year old yorkie since he was a puppy! He absolutely loves her and gets excited to go to the vet. The staff are so friendly as soon as you walk in the door. I am sad we are moving out of state because this is the best vet I have found in the Chandler/Tempe area!
