Spay Neuter Clinic: Chandler

The prices are reasonable and they took good care of my pup. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the place. There was dog hair everywhere in the lobby, along the floorboards, collected in the corners and on the chairs. There were mosquitos flying around inside. I got bit by one and smacked it on my leg and blood went everywhere! Ewwww:(There were others flying around the lobby. Also the smell was very overpowering, they need some kind of fan or air circulation in the lobby to help with the smell of animals. I would bring my dog back here, but I hope they clean up the place a little better.

Never saw the Dr. so I can’t comment on my interaction with her. However, I have to agree with some of the previous posters that the office staff is not very friendly. Furthermore, the tech who saw my cat could have had a more winning personality. In fact, he acted like he hated cats! He kept trying to tell me the cat we found was feral because his ear was clipped – however this cat is extremely friendly with us which I explained to the tech – but he really wasn’t listening. (not all cats who have their ears clipped are feral – some can be strays) They get 2 stars because of their affordable prices, but other than that, the office staff and techs need to get attitude adjustments before I can recommend.

I went here to get my cat neutered and i think they did a great job. I made an appointment but i waited about an hour once i got there. the staff/​nurses/​doctors were very nice and helpful. i believe my cat received the best care possible even though he was scared shitless. The only problem was they brought in a HUGE AGGRESSIVE dog into the waiting room. They told us «ok a huge stupid dog is coming lol.» Why cant you bring this stupid dog that wants to destroy everything, in from the back? This dog FLEW into the waiting room looking for things to destroy. that is very stupid and i am not sure why you even allow that dog into your clinic.

I must say, I give this clinic, Dr. Koehn and the staff …5 stars!
I, too, was not sure what to expect, when dropping off my 6mo old cat to be neutered, but my experience was awesome! I got there early enough to be first in line, was called in right away and was put at ease by Dr. Koehn. She could see I was a little anxious about having my cat neutered and was so thorough and kind. I picked my little guy up after lunch and he is doing great!!! Thank you for giving us such great service at an affordable price!

I am a little conflicted here with my review so please read through! My first impression was pretty negative. The phone conversation to schedule was just unpleasant, short and unfriendly. Not helpful at all. Then when I arrived and was greeted with «Pet» Me: «I’m sorry, what?» Her: «Pet.» Me: Clearly confused. «Like, what is my pet’s name? Is that what you’re asking me?» No «Hello» or «Welcome» or «How can I help you today» Ok, so let’s just suffice to say, the front desk person (Ashley) was rude and had no business greeting people with their pets who may be concerned or uneasy about the surgery that was about to take place. Moving on. The waiting room was busy and noisy. Obviously dogs and cats are going to be. The same girl told a lady to go outside to fill out her paperwork though since her dogs were making noise and I thought that was pretty rude as well. The morning appointments form 7 – 9 am are pretty much first come first serve so expect a wait. The saving grace is that the doctors and technicians were very pleasant and helpful so once I was greeted by them, I felt much better. At intake, they let me ask questions and were very gentle with my pet. The way you would expect a vet to treat you. There were 2 female veterinarians that were sweet and knowledgeable and after interacting with them, I got my questions answered. I picked up my cat hours later. Again, same rude, short service at pick up but maybe if your expectations for service are not as high as mine, you’ll have no problem. The cost was around $ 65.00-$ 69.00? For a female spay cat surgery. They also have a website.

When I got my first dog fixed I pay the extra hundreds of dollars to take her to a vet because I didn’t trust a spay and neuter clinic. My second dog I decided to give this place a try. What a difference!!! She healed in no time and didn’t even need a cone. The incision was half as small as my first dog. This clinic clearly knows what they are doing. Yes, the wait was quite long but they did an amazing job.

Update — My dog must have had a bad infection from the surgery — the vet I took her to gave her antibiotics and she got 2 huge abscesses on her abdomen which I had to rupture and drain, which took days to empty and are still healing. Then I had to take her back into the vet when the pain from the abscess was causing her to limp because the pain was spreading to her leg. Crazy to think that the reason that I came here in the first place was to avoid the 300 dollar price tag that my vet quoted me for the spay. Now I’ve just ended up having to go to the local vet several times for follow up with the infection she acquired here, spending an upwards of 500 dollars. Bottom line — I highly recommend you get your pet spayed or neutered somewhere else, even though it costs more.

Like other people said, get there early. It gets busy fast right when they open. They don’t exactly walk you through the process, just quickly giving you forms to fill out and making you wait. They didn’t go over/​double check with us what we filled out. This led to my pet not getting all the procedures done that I wanted to have done. The staff wasn’t rude or anything, but just seemed overworked. Not sure if I would use them again, but they were the cheaper option compared to my regular vet.

Was on a budget and couldn’t afford the $ 300+ my vet offered to spay my Dachshund puppy, because of other medical bills. My puppy already had one heat, so we were in a rush to get her fixed. So I heard about this place.
We called ahead, made an appointment. I had no idea what to expect.
I arrived about 15 min before opening, and there was about 10 people already waiting outside the building.
Once they opened, we all signed in and got called back in order. I got called about an hour and a half after waiting.
The room was really busy, and was only thing about the place I didn’t like lol.
Once we got called back, they checked out my puppy and got to know her.
The vet was really nice and I was assured she would be taken care of.
After we picked her up at about 3pm, my puppy basically went home and slept all day.
By day 2 she already wanted to run and play.
Day 3, you couldn’t even tell that she had surgery!
I would recommend this place to people on a budget, thank you !

I loved the vet, she was great and my dog felt very comfortable with her once we got in to go see her.
What keeps me from giving it the full 5 stars was the front office staff.
When I called to make an appointment, I wish she would have explained to me that there would be a long wait. Ask I was asked for my dog and my nameand was told drop off was between 7 – 9 am. That’s it.
Here is what happens, you show up, you fill out paperwork and then you sit and wait. Our turn took about an hour and a half.
But, like I stated earlier, the vet was great.

I have to say, I just wish I knew about this place sooner! I took our new puppy in last November to get spayed. They did a phenomenal job with her. Tiny incisive and fast recovery. I just took our 10 year old Jack Russell in for a teeth cleaning (ended up having 4 teeth pulled) and again I was just as impressed. You can tell that Dr. Sara Koehn really is in the right profession. She really cares for the animals. Yes, the process is a little different than a full service clinic but the cost makes up for that.

Excellent! Only $ 73, my vet quoted me $ 360. Everyone was nice, wife really liked the vet, felt that the staff cared about the pets. My dog was at normal behavior second day, 1 week has past and can hardly tell where incision was. I would def return if I needed another pet fixed.

We took our puppy in to get neutered. We went early as the person who called to confirm the apt said it could be 30 mins to an hour and a half wait. We showed up at about 645 and there was one person in front of us. We waited about ten minutes after they opened and were called in. The doctor was very nice and took the time to gain my dogs trust, something my regular vet doesn’t do.
They told us that pickup is generally around 5 – 6. However around 1030 we got a call that they were able to get him done early and we could pick him up at 1130. Everything went great and my dog was back to his normal self the next day!

This place exceeded all my expectations. I took my dog here to get him neutered, and I was blown away by how much care the vet and vet techs had for my dog. Since it is a clinic, all the dogs are brought in at the same time. I was expecting to just hand over our dog and be sent out the door. Not the case at all! When we were called back, Dr. Koen came up and took time to make sure everyone felt comfortable. She worked to gain my dog’s trust, pet him, and filled us in on how the procedure would work. You can tell she really loves and cares about all animals. It’s hard to find this level of caring even at the more expensive vets. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, but for the price point and the service we received it was worth it. Our dog was out of it after the procedure but the very next day he was his energetic and hyper self! He healed in no time, and he didn’t even need a cone (Dr. Koen said only to give them a cone if they show they need it – definite plus!).

I found this place via Unilocal and took our lil Schnauzer Lucy in for a Rabies shot. We had to wait a bit but the staff and prices were worth it! Dr. Sara Koehn was super nice and helpful as were the other helpers in the back! I would go here again for any of my pets needs.

This is a wonderful place to get your cat spayed or neutered. Volunteering for a rescue, I have had cats fixed at 4 different veterinarians/​clinics. Spay Neuter Clinic of S. Alma School has been the best by far. I have had 3 cat neuters and 1 cat spay done here and the surgeries have been precise, clean cut, and as minimally invasive as possible. I am so impressed with the surgeons work. Each recovery of my cats have been smooth, infection free, and pain free. I also appreciate that the vet meets and examines each animal with owner present. Every other animal clinic I have been to either just does a drop off or an exam with a vet tech. Cat surgeries are done first each day, so pick up is early too, anytime after noon for neuters and after 1pm for spays. Cats are alert and fully awake at pickup. The only complaint I have is the wait time to check-​in. It usually takes about 45 min. However for me, that is not enough of a reason to take off a star. I would gladly wait the 45 min. to get the quality surgeries done at this clinic.

I have brought all 3 of my pooches here for the last 2 years. First off they are the nicest people and real pet lovers. Second, the place is very clean. 3^rd, the prices cannot be beat. Shots typically tun about 20 dollars compared to 50 or 60 at the vet. the only problem is the waiting room is not real big and it fills up very quickly. I show up about 15 minutes before it opens and im usually seen within 30 minutes.

Just going to say the people at the front desk need an attitude check. Customer service was super shitty nothing but attitude. The doctor was awesome though he just needs to hire new people to work the front desk that want to work here. They need to put more fans in the front lobby and fix the ac In The lobby. They should probably start doing prescreening to animals so they don’t wait an hour or more to tell them sorry your animal is sick and cannot get shots today. Saying get on the scale for your weight check with attitude is not prescreening.

Dr. Sara Koehn is simply AWESOME!!! Spay Neuter Clinic is really the best in the world!!! (Please excuse me for my over-​excitement here: p)
My kitten Noël was brought here first for the FVRCP shot, and later for the spay surgery. I was very worried about Noël because I brought her to Petsmart and another vet before to get shots and she had very serious reactions after each shot: vomiting, high fever, lethargy for two whole days… so I was very, very worried about giving her shots again, not to mention having her spayed!
My friend recommended Spay Neuter Clinic to me (though the one he went to was the one in Mesa), saying the service is excellent and the price is really really low. I was skeptical and didn’t listen to him at first, but thought that I might give it a try, just for the shot first.
At first I didn’t know I have to make an appointment (my friend said they didn’t need appointments before), so I waited until my kitten’s 3^rd FVRCP booster shot was going to due and called to confirm about the price and office hours, and they said they were actually fully booked at that time until two weeks later!!! :(«Noooooooooooo!» I screamed in my heart and was about to hang up the phone, the receptionist suddenly told me maybe they can squeeze Noël in for the shot as it was going to due the day after! Thank God!!! I was really happy that although they’re extremely busy, they were still able to do that for me :)
Dr. Koehn was very nice and took the time to talk with me and answer my questions about sarcoma and what kind of vaccines they use (dead virus) during my visit, in spite of their hectic schedule. You can see from her big smile that she really cares and gives you the peace of mind. She gave Noël something before the shot to minimize the chance of getting serious reactions again. The shot went ok with Noël having just a light fever and not as lethargic as before, but she did have swelling on the face and body this time (maybe she had that previously as well, but she was under the bed whole time previously so not sure)!!! I was really worried again and called them the next morning. The tech told me to give her children Benadryl but I ended up just gave her Lysine that I have at home, because I didn’t want to give her human medicine.
So, when the time came to bring her to the spay surgery, I was EXTREMELY worried!!! It seems that my kitten Noël is extremely vulnerable to shots and stuff, and I was reaaaaaaally worried about any severe reaction she could get from anaesthesia :(((The morning that I brought her to the clinic (around 8), I was so sad and thought I’d prefer myself to take the pain instead of her, and couldn’t help crying before Dr. Koehn and the techs (I know it might sound silly). Dr. Koehn and her techs very caringly assured me they will take care of Noël like one of their own, and she’s gonna be fine! The incision will be very, very tiny, and she should be up and running in no time :) Also Dr. Koehn also comforted me about the allergic reaction part and wrote down on her chart that she’ll need extra antihistamine next time for shots. Their words and warm smiles comforted me and I felt that Noël’s in good hands.
One hour later I got a phone call from Dr. Koehn herself, saying that Noël did very well in the surgery and was ready for us to pick up already! You can see how she cares about the pet and the owner by calling by herself!!! But I was at work and also wanted to let her stay there for awhile and see if anything should happen, Dr. Koehn will be there for her. After work at around 3 — 4 pm, we picked up Noël from the clinic, and she looked like nothing had happened! When she’s home, she ate and ran around like normal, which didn’t look like some kitten who just had a huge surgery! I in turn worried that her organs inside might fall out when she runs and jumps like that! However, the incision was indeed very, very tiny, to the point that it looked like one of her tiny nipples, haha: D (I’ll attach a picture of her incision. I wish someone could have done that already so that I wouldn’t be that worried: D) I didn’t know how medically advanced our country is until now!!! :D I saw pictures of a very long incision like those black long bugs just a month or so ago from the My365 community in Japan, which was something that added to my worries () Anyway, she finally looked a little sleepy for half an hour, and was back to normal again ever since!!! No allergic reactions, no side effects, nothing bad at all!!! It’s been 2 months after her spay surgery, and everything’s been fine!!! Her fur had grown back in a month and it really feels like nothing happened to her :))))) Thank you so much, Dr. Koehn and your staff!!! You guys are the best!!!
Oh, did I mention it only cost $ 47 for a cat spay? ;-) plus pain med, just $ 62, didn’t even need to pay seperate taxes!

Cat got neutered. Was some confusion on the appointment — they wanted me to have a carrier and I didn’t have one. So I dropped the cat off and went and got one, but never really checked the cat in. LOL. Checked cat in when I came back with carrier. Good price and healed great.
