★★★★★ so thankful for Sabino Vet, the whole staff is organized, professional and kind. really there when we needed them.a D.a D. ★★★★★ Sabino Vet is a solid practice. I've had dogs for 40 years, I'm a (retired) trainer and have seen many vets in town. Here is why Sabino Vet stands out from the rest.1. They actually care. I've never felt rushed during an appt. Questions are answered thoughtfully. If vaccines/blood work, etc., are needed, the vet returns with your dog, reports findings and asked if there are any questions. Most clinics bring your pooch out with the bill and "see ya later!" Not here. They truly care.2. Prescriptions, referrals, test results are handled promptly. No waiting weeks for a call back. Written scripts and referrals have always been handled the same day.3. This is important - there is always a vet that can get you in. Nowadays, it seems clinics are short staffed and refer clients to emergency clinics (been there/done that). Sabino vet has always worked me in within 24-48 hours.4. They have a portal for questions. They actually respond to the portal. For those nagging 3AM questions - get on the portal.5. The clinic is spotless. The waiting room is large and they require short leashes and separation of dogs. I have never waited over 5 minutes for a room.6. The front desk and vet techs are incredible. They are competent, friendly and even funny. The techs and the vet handle the dog using positive training approved methods (remember, I'm a trainer and I watch for this.)7. Diagnoses, recommendations and follow ups are science based and solid. Questions are welcomed. You won't pay for fancy, useless supplements or "gee, let's try this..." These doctors know what they're doing.I recommend this practice enthusiastically and without reservations. If you've read this far, give yourself a scratch behind your ears and perhaps a cookie. 🙂Kimberly B.Kimberly B. ★★★★★ My dog get very nervous at vets and this office was so quiet and calm. We got into a Room right away and there was no crazy noise and the tech and vet took their time to make sure Milo felt safe and gave him treats and pets to make it a good experiences for him.

Freddy and Sophie are in good hands hereChris W.Chris W. ★★★★★ We have only been going to Sabino Veterinary Clinic for a couple of years and we are so pleased with their care. Both times for an emergency and I couldn’t be happier with the care that my two dogs received. Thank You to the whole staff!! You are awesome!!!Ruby and WilsonCathy H.Cathy H. ★★★★★ Doctors and staff work at making my anxious Shiba Inu relax during office visits and nail trimming. I find the front office staff very friendly and accommodating. Thank you.Judy M.Judy M. ★★★★★ The veterinarians here are very good and the staff is amazing with animals. They make a stressful situation for my cats a lot better and they calm down and don't feel anxious when they are with them.Caroline D.Caroline D. ★★★★★ My dog had a recent health scare while I was out of town and needed to be seen immediately. We called Sabino Vet who understandably was booked, but referred us to an emergency vet. He was seen by the referred vet and we were also able to get him into Sabino Vet for the follow up treatment and further diagnosis. They had been in communication with the urgent care vet and listened patiently to all my concerns and observations until he was able to been seen. They are extremely patient, compassionate and thorough. I was worried and scared. Every time I've gone for anything other than a routine visit, they call to follow up and see how he's doing, etc. I would recommend them to anyone and appreciate the communication they had with the emergency vet as well. They definitely understand that our pets are indeed our family. Special shout out to Dr. Monterosso. SO PATIENT with me and my worries.Gina A.Gina A. ★★★★★ The doctors and staff are so caring and friendly. The best Veterinary care that we have ever experienced.Connie A.Connie A. ★★★★★ The doctors and staff are so nice, very caring. They treat our dog like a member of the family(which of course, she is!)Loretta S.Loretta S. ★★★★★ We were looking for a more personal Veterinary practice. We found it at Sabino Veterinary Care in Tucson.Becky took care of my bird for years and now my 111/2 year old dog, Ellie is a customer.Lovely people and a great practice give them a try and you will satisfied.Kirtlye S.Kirtlye S. ★★★★★ caring veterinary officealicia C.alicia C. ★★★★★ Amazing staff that really cares about taking care of your pet. We always feel very welcomed we we walk in.len H.len H. ★★★★★ Very quick responding to needsSteve A.Steve A. ★★★★★ Caring and competent care provided to my dog. Thank you. The staff and Dr.Kang were great.Jim H.Jim H. ★★★★★ My elderly aunt recently moved to the area. She has a 17 yr old dog that is the last remaining part of her independent life. As Alzheimers has taken control, she forgets her dog was seen by the Dr and insists I make appointments for the same ailments on a regular basis. Despite the same issue every visit, everyone at Sabino Veterinary Care are patient and so kind to her. Of course, her dog is treated very well, with a thorough exam. Every time, she is provided a compassionate explanation of the exam results. I realize it is probably a pain to go through this but, it would be too hard to tell my aunt she can't take her dog to the vet when she has a concern, real or imagined. I appreciate everyone at Sabino Veterinary Care with a special thanks to Dr. Monterosso for her patience and understanding.Tamara B.Tamara B. ★★★★★ They provide excellent service and care for our two dogs. Highly recommended!!Jesse D.Jesse D. ★★★★★ despite the recent departure of two vets and the ensuing scramble to find a replacement for our dog at the clinic who would maybe fill the shoes of our wonderful vet, SVC had managed to provide efficient and compassionate care. The continuity in service is impressive and we are confident that our new vet will meet our high expectations.Monica B.Monica B. ★★★★★ Took our dog for routine surgery. He had complications during procedure and was sent to ED. ED staff scared the heck out of us, suggesting putting our boy down.Sabino vet was way more reassuring. They explained everything much better. My boy is home doing great.Mareechi P.Mareechi P. ★★★★★ We recently added one handsome and sweet rescue German Shepherd to our family. It's been some 21 years since we've shared our home with dogs, so were not quite sure where to go for the initial consultation. We chose Sabino Veterinary Care simply because it was convenient on Sabino Canyon Road, and are delighted we did. The office staff is excellent, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely interested in the "clients" that walk in their door. The technicians are competent but know their limitations, yet have a lot of knowledge. The several veterinarians are well trained, very pleasant to interact with, careful listeners, well organized and quite patient. Finally, their fees seem quite reasonable. We are now much more comfortable with our new family member, knowing that we can get whatever professional assistance we might need.George D.George D. ★★★★★ We moved to Tucson 2 months ago and saw Dr. Julie Kang to establish care. I was both surprised and impressed by how much time she spent thoughtfully discussing my dog’s car anxiety with me and working out a plan. I also appreciated the general education as a new AZ resident re: rattlesnakes, heartworm, toads, valley fever, etc. Relatively minor health concerns at this visit but I feel confident my dog is in good hands under Dr. Kang’s care.Sarah M.Sarah M. ★★★★★ Our kid rescued astray in their neighborhood. We went to sabino to get the cat checked out, and they were very kind and competent and informative and patient.Matt B.Matt B. ★★★★★ My little dog is always very nervous when we come through the door then you take care of him he just relaxesThank you.Jane C.Jane C. ★★★★★ The absolute BEST vet clinic. Kind, smart doctors. Wonderful staff. My dog likes going there. It's beautiful and everyone really loves animals. I feel so lucky that they take care of my dog.Suzanne D.Suzanne D. ★★★★★ Highly recommended. Being from out of State the treatment we received was amazing wonderful to find a Clinic that cares so much. Cannot say enough good about the staff & The Dr Amazing.🐾👍Larry E Sibley I.Larry E Sibley I. ★★★★★ Really love this vets office. They are kind, reasonable, detailed, and thorough.Jenn S.Jenn S. ★★★★★ We brought our puppy to Sabino Vet Care after tons of research on vets and practices. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Dr. Radtke and all of the staff were amazing. I had so many questions as a new puppy owner. I never felt rushed. Everything was answered thoroughly and communicated effectively. They love what they do and it shows on everything they do.Melissa A.Melissa A. ★★★★★ Everyone is caring and professional. Dr Radke is soooo nice - even my timid mini dachshund agrees!Linda W.Linda W. ★★★★★ Sad to see Dr Jim and Dr Susan leaving.Katie has received excellent care for 9 years from a wonderful staffGodspeed!Joyce W.Joyce W. ★★★★★ Susan and Jim are fabulous vets. Both so capable, caring and genuine. I truly trust they have both my dogs well-being in mind. I have been to other vets in Tucson that I felt were just after my pocketbook. They truly care at Sabino Vet Care.Lisa H.Lisa H. ★★★★★ Attentive care, and clean, quiet facilityElaine K.Elaine K. ★★★★★ Always friendly, knowledgeable service. Never a long wait 👍🏼Josh S.Josh S. ★★★★★ Excellent and compassionate care. Great communication. All of the staff is kind and friendly. I have always had nothing but the best because they are the best!!!chris L.chris L. ★★★★★ Dr Radtke, Heather and staff are the best.Been going here for years and wouldn't change a thing. We have to go dressed up everytime. All the kids get dressed for them, when possible.M HM H ★★★★★ The best vets I've ever had! They know all of our pack of animals and really spend the time helping you be the best pet owner you can be.Seres C.Seres C. ★★★★★ One of my dogs has several serious health issues. Every doctor, vet tech and office staff have been compassionate and patient. Because of Sabino Vet Care my dog continues to have a good quality of life.Jeannie F.Jeannie F. ★★★★★ I will not send my pet to any other vet in Tucson. Sabino Veterinary and Dr Susan are the only ones I will entrust my Sedona to.Linda H.Linda H. ★★★★★ Dr. Susan has treated my Wrigley for many many years. He had an extreme amount of skin problems. I truly like to be involved in my pet's treatments. I love to come in and talk about everything we have tried, to things we have not, to try to help my sweet boy feel better. She has showed so much kindness, and she genuinely cared for his well being. It is not easy trying to figure out whether allergies are environmental or food caused in his case. But we did the best we could with what we had in the 9 1/2 years with him. Thank you Dr. Susan for everything.Another big SHOUTOUT to a technician there. I think her name is Alex (sorry if it's not spelled right)! She called to check on my sweet boy today, and I greatly appreciate her for that. She is a compassionate animal nurse, and just a joy to talk to even if its just over the phone. Our veterinary nurses are critical in this field and the lifeline of it all, from start to finish. I cannot thank you enough. #VETTECHAWARENESSlauren K.lauren K. ★★★★★ Great vet. They have taken care of our dogs for many years. I really like them.Piper PQ D.Piper PQ D. ★★★★★ Both our dogs have been patients of Dr. Radtke's at Sabino Vet Care since they were 8 weeks old, we have a 7 year old Great Dane named Luna, and a 3 yo Chuahua mix named Stella and I would never dream of taking them else where, the care we have received on a regular and numerous basis for anything from Valley Fever, to broken nails, to ear infections and more. They are very affordable for the level of care and attention and they are very flexible with fitting our dogs in when the need arises. Thank you to everyone for all the years of care thus far and many more to come.Tyler R.Tyler R. ★★★★★ Excellent services with very knowledgeable staffDebra R.Debra R. ★★★★★ Lucky to have found this vet!! They take appointments on line, bring you to a room as soon as you arrive, I was in and out in less than 20min for a yearly checkup for my dog!Susan M.Susan M. ★★★★★ My dachshund Oscar with me visiting the Oscar Mayer Weiner mobile!Diane D.Diane D. ★★★★★ I love Dr Susan and Dr. Jim. Been trusting them with my pups for over 12 years!Patty T.Patty T. ★★★★★ After a recent attack by a loose dog we got Clancy to Sabino. They masterfully sewed his ear back together, took care of a fractured leg & closed multiple puncture wounds. They took him on emergency basis without delay. Can't say enough about the care & service from Sabino. Believe it or not Clancy actually enjoys going thereMark R.Mark R. ★★★★★ Doctors and staff are amazing! 4-1/2 years ago they assisted our Bailey to cross over the rainbow bridge. Bailey was 12 years old and her health was failing quickly. The care, compassion and love that we felt was amazing. We still use them for our Sam and Molly. Much appreciation and love to you all!!Sherie Q.Sherie Q. ★★★★★ Great friendly, professional staff and beautiful inviting office/facility.Pete W.Pete W. ★★★★★ My little guy receives compassionate care here. Dr. Susan is the best and I have found all the staff to be kind and considerate.alma B.alma B. ★★★★★ All the doctors, technicians and front staff are always very helpful. They seem to be very excited to see our pets. Its a very loving, caring and professional place to take them. Dr Radtke is one of my favorites, but all the doctors are very knowledgeable and great communicators. We have been going there for about 8 years now.Michelle J.Michelle J. ★★★★★ These are the nicest, most efficient and most caring folks in the area. They treat our dog like family.Donna G.Donna G. ★★★★★ One of the best vets we have ever been to. Being military and moving all over, my pup had seen numerous vets and none of them compare to Sabino Vet Care. All staff had such care and compassion for us in my girl’s final months. Thank you so much.Melanie S.Melanie S. ★★★★★ Our little pittie Gertie is a giant ball of anxiety and nerves on a good day. Walk into a vet's office and she shakes so hard she can't walk. This staff, however, won her over with tiny treats while giving her plenty of time to warm up to them. They managed to get Gertie her full physical and vaccinations and she happily trotted out with liver treat crumbs on her whiskers. She may, just may, be happy to go back for her next shot!Jane B.Jane B. ★★★★★ Friendly, caring and compassionate and knowledgeableRobert F.Robert F. ★★★★★ Outstanding, professional care for our doggie.Sara R.Sara R. ★★★★★ Sabino Veterinary Care is an outstanding facility. The professionalism, expertise and empathy demonstrated by both Drs. Stofft, additional veterianarians, technicians and staff are of the highest caliber. We have had two members of our pet family receive the best medical attention at Sabino Veterianary Care and would not take our pets anywhere else. We would definitely recommend them to everyone!Ruthie H.Ruthie H. ★★★★★ Sabino Veterinary Care is just the absolute best! Very caring docs and staff!Debbie H.Debbie H. ★★★★★ Moved to AZ a year ago a lucky enough to get our dog Boz established at what we believe is on if the absolute best veterinary practice in the Tucson Valley. The doctors and staff are warm, caring and professional. Very happy with every appointment and encounter.Sheryl I.Sheryl I. ★★★★★ I am amazed at how compassionate, patient and detail oriented every single staff member I encountered was- from front desk staff to the vet techs and the vet that we saw, Dr. Monterosso. I have a senior Great Dane who has horrible anxiety when it comes to the vet and and the staff did everything possible to ease her stress level by getting her straight into a large room and ensuring the lobby was open and quiet. Dr. Monterosso spent time reviewing my dog’s file before coming into the exam room rather than reading notes during the exam (which was refreshing!) She sat on the ground with my pup and was so patient and kind with her. I didn’t feel rushed at any point or “just another client”. I highly recommend this place! Such a positive experience.Lisa M.Lisa M. ★★★★★ Excellent veterinary care. Very personalized and compassionateWilliam B.William B. ★★★★★ Wonderful ❤️ Dr. Susan Stofft, Dr. Radtky, and Dr. Bertram have shown my pets, along with my parent's animals, fantastic attention. If you visit, see one of these three doctors!Sandra C.Sandra C. ★★★★★ Staff are friendly and our dog loves her vet! The lobby is massive with more than enough space and they are very COVID-conscious. They listen to our concerns about our dog and are very honest with us about what she needs and doesn't. Even though we moved across town, we still take our pupper to Sabino Vet!Carleen De A.Carleen De A. ★★★★★ Best veterinary care in Tucson!Billie R.Billie R.js_loader

Dr. Radtke and all the staff are terrific! My pup gets very nervous at the vet, but they do their best to make her comfortable. I highly recommend Sabino Vet clinic.

Andrea K.

We have 3 dogs and a cat. Dr. Jim and the team always make us and our pets feel like family.

Jude M.

The entire staff is friendly, courteous, professional, compassionate and highly competent. I’ve been a pet owner all my life, and lived in several parts of the country so I’ve taken pets to various vet practices over the years. Sabino Veterinary Care is among the best practices I’ve ever worked with.

Toni P.

One of the best decisions my husband and I made in Tucson so far was switching to Sabino Veterinary Care. What an incredible and caring crew. I thank each and every one of you for the love and care you gave to our cat Princess, and to my husband and I as well.
