We took our dog here after taking her to the vet only to find her intestines were blocked by a toy. We were so worried and distraught about the outcome due to some other factors. They were so quick to get us back and offered us different options of what to do while thoroughly explaining everything. Everyone was so kind and compassionate. They did a great job on the surgery and took good care of our sweet girl ♥️ I cannot recommend this place enough!

They took the BEST care of my baby. I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with the staff here, they’re kind and Knowledgeable, and treated my Dixie Mae like family. I got updates via text with pictures of my girl. Normally dogs don’t want to go back with the vet or tech…Dixie tried to go back with them like she worked there. The vet even took her around to say by to everyone before she left after staying over night.

I want to start off by saying how impressed I am with the professionalism and thoroughness provided during my cat Beans' entire hospitalization at Gilbert Queen Creek Emergency Veterinarian. I also want to give an especially big thank you to Dr. William Hodges, Dr. Ashley Sembach, nurse/tech Kathie, nurse/tech Dani, nurse/tech Vanessa and all the ladies at the front desk (hopefully I got everyone's titles correct). I have written a pretty lengthy and detailed review, sorry in advanced!

We arrived Friday around 1000 and Beans was admitted around 1400

Length of stay: Friday 9/12 1400 - Sunday 9/14 0730

Our kitty had a slowly elevating temperature over the course of 3 days and had not been eating before walking into GQ Vet. We originally took her to ARISE for a temp of 103, but I was not impressed with the care and interpersonal relations there, so we decided on taking Beans to our primary vet the next day. Her fever had then increased to 104.6 where she received fluids and antibiotics. On the 3rd day her fever had increased to 105.6 and I knew this was an emergency and called East Valley Urgent Pet Care - they informed me they do not keep animals overnight, therefore they recommended GQ Vet and one other facility, obviously we chose GQ Vet.

Upon arrival we were immediately triaged by Vanessa who helped efficiently assess Beans and immediately notified the team of her elevated temperature so that they could keep a closer eye on her while we waited to be seen. Kathie helped with gathering information on Beans before sending Dr. Ashley Sembach and her resident in. Dr. Ashley Sembach allowed me to go through my timeline of events before recommending to hospitalize Beans, place a NG tube and start fluids and antibiotics immediately. In her words she wanted to be "aggressive" since my cat's fever had become so extreme and I truly appreciated her honesty and couldn't agree more. Kathie went over estimates and the plan and allowed me the opportunity to visit with Beans before starting her hospitalization. I was an emotional wreck at this point, but Kathie gave me the space to give Beans lots of hugs and kisses and assured me that I could visit at anytime.

The following day we visited our sick girl and they allowed us to bring one of our other cats to let out during our visit which I truly appreciated! Beans has a history of having a lot of vet anxiety so bringing her sister to visit meant a lot to us!

The following morning I was called by the night shift VDM and she mentioned Beans was having a new onset of back pain and would recommend doing an X-Ray to see if this had been the cause of her fevers. She mentioned she would sent a quote, but I did not receive the correct one with the x-ray on it. The following afternoon I spoke with Dr. William Hodges about lab results and pending X-Ray imaging, although I would have said yes to getting the x-ray, they did not wait for my consent to saying yes to this. Frustratingly, all of Beans labs were within normal limits and we had 0 answers to why she had a fever. Later in the day we visited our kitty and Dr. Hodges spoke with us and he was very patient and willing to answer ALL of my questions, which I had quite a few.

Fast forward to the next morning another night shift VDM called me for updates and we spoke on the phone about discharge planning as my kitties temperature had finally sustained in the low 100s (normal) and she made attempts to eat. Dani did our discharge paperwork and was informative. Dani also respectfully listened to my concerns about the x-ray imaging being done on Beans without my consent and additionally I was never properly quoted for the procedure. Again, although I would have said yes to the x-ray as we still have 0 answers for Beans' fever, I think it's important for pet parents to be properly informed and given the opportunity to say yes or no to certain procedures as everyone's financial situation is different. Dani left the room and spoke with Dr. Hodges and he handled the situation with integrity!

Thank you so much GQ Vet for taking care of my Beanie!

Upon entering the facility with our cat, staff immediately identified the potential urgency and responded. Dr. Hodges and Tech Kathie were amazing as they cared for our family member. I will talk to all I come in contact with about the care we received at Gilbert Chandler Emergency Veterinarian.
