My pets are always well cared for at Tempe Lake Veterinary Clinic & Pet Resort. The facility is clean and organized. The staff is professional and attentive to any concerns. My Bengal cat had a teeth cleaning and they kept me informed with every step. I highly recommend them.

Saw them on the internet and called about there angel fund because my disabled senior citizen friends chiwawa had ben hit by a car last week and had ben seen at er. Now she just need a welness check and help with payment for meds. I was told some extravagant reason why they could not help . Plus the fact there was NO funds in angel funds and beside it was not for general help it was only if certain procedures worked then and only then the angel fund could help with the meds . So confusing and heartbreaking all n the same . So im not sure if I should earge to donate for this vets angel fund because it seems there are catches to it. It is certainly not for pet owners in hardship to recieve vet care. So some ointment for a couple scraps and a vet to look at him for Mrs lillys piece of mind will not be available via this vet..I would suggest having a sheet with other resources if your clinic is limited and please be more transparent of angel funds use if it is so conditioned

They lost my dogs blood test, never followed up on him, only realized the test had been lost when I called repeatedly asking for the results. Delayed his care by weeks waiting for test results. Besides this incident, I think the techs at this facility are wonderful, and provide good care and information. I received more thoughtful education from them than from the vets.

I cannot say enough good things about Tempe Lake Veterinary Clinic and the care they showed us during one of the hardest days of our lives.
From our first visit, the compassion was evident. Our vet tech, Janissa, was incredibly patient and gentle with Wrigley, allowing him to sniff her tools and move at his own pace while taking his vitals - it immediately put us at ease. Dr. Denlinger was equally wonderful, she carefully explained our options, answered every question, and reassured us repeatedly that this was nothing we could have caused or prevented. We never once felt rushed and were given time and space to process everything.
On the day we said goodbye, the entire staff was prepared and so kind. We were escorted directly to a private room, given a small comfort bag, and treated with such care and respect. Janissa walked us through every step, stayed with us, and showed so much love to Wrigley. Both she and Dr. Denlinger cried with us, shared memories, and honored him in the most compassionate way.
This clinic made an unbearable situation as peaceful and loving as it could possibly be. We will forever be grateful to Janissa, Dr. Denlinger, and the entire staff for the dignity, empathy, and kindness they showed our family and our sweet boy.

We’ve been customers here a long time, but ever since they moved locations it has gone severely downhill. Unfortunately, this ended up likely taking a couple of months off our senior beagle Millie’s life.
We mentioned increased peeing and discharge in August, and went through the necessary treatments for a UTI—we saw some temporary relief but then it returned a couple months later and underwent a series of lab tests, etc for several months. I am not joking when we had to BEG for test results back on 3 separate occasions. First time, they forgot to take a urine test, resulting in a couple weeks delay due to us traveling. Second time, they tested it for the wrong things too slowly, so by the time they got the results back, they had to ask her to come in again—this took about a week and a half of us repeatedly calling asking to hear the results. Third time, it was another week or so until we got results and it was the same “not sure what this is, I need to look into it”. After a month of not hearing anything, we took her to a specialist and they immediately found a mass on her bladder and gave her 3-4 months. To say I’m disappointed in the treatment is an understatement. I understand they are busy, but it seems like they may have scaled up without taking the possibility of a steep decline in care into account
