Our puppy had an unfortunate accident that left us with 1 option. Dr. Kelly's Surgical staff was able to really help us out and our pup out with this. He had to have his front left leg amputated. Dr. Kelly's performed the surgery . They were very caring and let us know everything each step of the way. 1 member of their staff even sent us a picture of Waylon when he got out of surgery. This is a personal touch I've never experienced with any vet EVER and I am 53 years old . I was truly touched 🥲. They have followed through with everything promised and more. Waylon is getting his stitches out tomorrow (2weeks later ) I can't say enough about these guys. Dr. Kelly's Surgical staff Flagstaff location had also neutered Waylon 12 days prior to him breaking his leg . Both surgeries and in 2 different locations were done with no problems and both with the same amount of care . Our gratitude is unmeasurable, and all of this was done at a VERY discounted price. They are doing great work and helping many people with their beloved animals where other vets are charging astronomical prices . Thank you to all of Dr. Kelly's Staff you guys are quite special.

Review Update 1/10/2026 I was able to find a specialist surgeon - Dr. Dixon with Southwest Veterinary Surgical Service to remove Jasper‘a large, multi lobulated tumors. Because complete excision was impossible Jasper will now need radiation followup for remaining cancer cells. No one from Dr Kelly’s ever contacted me with an explanation as to how this happened, nor has anyone responded to this review. Initial review below: I’ve been a fan of Dr. Kelly’s in the past and have brought my dog in for multiple procedures at the North Phoenix location at Tatum and Bell Rd. Most recently they failed in their most basic duty to communicate my dog’s cancer recurrence which led to explosive growth in just weeks. I initially brought him in for them to remove a cancerous soft tissue sarcoma on my dog’s shoulder in December 2024. They obtained only 1-1.5 cm clean margins instead of the recommended 2-3cm. In hindsight I wish I’d used a board certified surgeon instead. In October 2025 I brought him in to Dr. Kelly’s for a dental cleaning and asked them to look at the surgical area because it felt a bit rough. They examined my dog and told me this was only scar tissue and nothing to be concerned about. Over the next few weeks I kept feeling the area and because it still felt strange to me, I brought him to my vet for a 2nd opinion. My vet immediately identified two cancerous masses. When I contacted Dr. Kelly’s for their dental clinical notes I read in the notes that they TOO had identified a semi-firm mass at the prior surgical site which they told me was scar tissue. Due to the almost one month delay in being properly informed about my dogs aggressive and rapidly growing cancer recurrence, by the time I was able to get in with a veterinarian oncologist there were large, multiple masses. From everything I’ve read, early detection is key when it comes to treatment of aggressive, recurring soft tissue sarcoma. Know that you NEVER speak directly to a vet at Dr. Kelly’s. In this case I was told he was seen by a relief vet (Sara Prent). Had I been able to question this doctor directly following my dogs exam I would have obtained the correct information because I would have asked - what is the bumpy stuff at my dog’s surgical site? I would have made sure I got the correct answer before leaving. Did the vet tech not ask this question and just assume? I have no idea because almost two months later no one at Dr. Kelly’s has provided an explanation. So my question remains: How did their vet identify a recurrent cancer mass during my dog’s pre-dental physical exam and how was the vet tech completely unaware of this fact given she and I had discussed this very concern prior to his dental procedure??! Why did she tell me it was only scar tissue? While Dr. Kelly’s has apologized, they’ve never provided an explanation for how this occurred and what steps they’ve taken to ensure this does not happen to another pet owner, even though I requested this information a month ago. Until I receive a call from someone in a management position at Dr. Kelly’s with a report of FACTS gathered from both the vet and vet tech involved as to how this happened, this review will stay and I will not be returning. The mark of a respectable, responsible organization is to gather information to understand why something went wrong and install procedures to ensure the same mistake is not repeated. So far I see no evidence Dr. Kelly's has any interest in doing this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (There aren’t enough stars for this team!) PS. Thank you Matthew!!!! My beautiful 3 ½ year-old German Shepherd, Luna Estrella, is the sweetest, kindest, most loving fighter you could ever meet. Recently, she faced a life-threatening emergency after swallowing a foreign object — a purple toy that created a severe blockage. The pain she was in was heartbreaking, and I knew I had to act quickly. Within less than a week, Luna had been through three different veterinary appointments and multiple treatments, but it became clear that only surgery would save her life. That’s when I was referred to Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Unit – North Phoenix Team, and I cannot express enough gratitude for what they did for Luna and for me. From the very beginning, the team greeted me with compassion, kept me updated at every step, and coordinated seamlessly with Luna’s primary veterinarian. They treated my girl like family, and most importantly, they gave her the surgery she needed to survive. Thanks to their skill and care, Luna is now home, beginning her healing journey. This wasn’t just medical care — it was lifesaving. And while the quality of care is beyond measure, I must also note that Dr. Kelly’s is truly affordable compared to other places. I was quoted upward of $20,000 at other clinics, but Dr. Kelly’s surgical expertise came at a fraction of that cost — without sacrificing a single ounce of care or professionalism. Not everyone has thousands upon thousands set aside for emergencies, but Dr. Kelly makes it possible for families to get the help their pets desperately need. What makes them unique is that surgery is all they do — they are specialists. While general veterinarians are wonderful, they cannot provide surgical care at this level every day. Dr. Kelly’s team is focused, skilled, and experienced in what matters most during an emergency like mine. Because of Dr. Kelly and the incredible North Phoenix team, my Luna Estrella is alive today. They didn’t just save her life — they gave me back my peace, my joy, my family. If you are in the Phoenix or Tucson area and your beloved pet ever needs emergency or elective surgery, don’t waste a moment. Go directly to Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Unit. They are a blessing, and I will be forever grateful! - Dr. James C. Rodríguez, MSW I wanted to show the photos of my dog before surgery, where she was so vibrant, but I really thought she was not gonna make it! And then I want you to see how caring the staff was to bring her out to my Jeep and place her in it to bring her home and now she’s eating a lot. I’m so grateful, and I’m blessed that we went to Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Clinic

Dr Kelly’s is the greatest place for spay/neuter, soft tissue surgeries and dentals. I have used for all three for three dogs and am always pleased with the care, service, price and outcome. I recommend to any dog owner that wants to reduce their cost without reducing care.

The Staff were helpful, polite and caring. They even helped me by lifting my 60+ lb Belgian Malinois into my van after his surgery. Price was 1/3 of what I had been quoted by another Vet office 1 mile away. And this price included a nail trim, pain meds and expressing his anal glands on to of his neutering! I recommended Dr Kelly's to anyone needing this type of service!
