Ahwatukee but don't mind a drive for a good vet. I am leaning towards Alma School, good reports.
I took my bullies there once and was unimpressed. I say this because I felt the clinic's technology wasn't as good as others and, when faced with a serious issue with one of my bullies with hip dyplasia, their recommendation was to put him down at 10 weeks of age. I took him elsewhere and, after a moderately expensive surgery, I have a healthy, happy 3 year old bully.
This might sound completely crazy, but I've had great luck at Banfield Pet Hospital. YES, it's part of Petsmart but I have found a really good doctor, who is very good with my bullies - Dr. Darren Wright at the Stapley location in Mesa, 85204.
This is the thread I just wrote about our experience with our vet, in the wake of my bulldog Linus' recent death. Our doctor cared for him so well in life, and in death, which you would not necessarily expect at a Banfield Clinic.
Also, the benefit of Banfield is also they have a decent Wellness plan that you can take advantage of that gives you options for semi-annual wellness exams, free spay or neuter AND access to other Banfields, in the case the one you are trying to visit is booked. Their hours are also pretty flexible for a vet (they have Saturday and Sunday appointments) so it's usually not a hassle if you need a last minute appointment.
Anyway, if you decide to try Dr. Wright, be sure to tell him Linus and Truman's mom sent you...he will know who you are talking about!
By the way, Louis is adorable!
