If you love you pet do not use Sonora $4000 in a week and nothing my young dog is dyeing because these vets are incompetent and only want to take your money. Dr Gilsson and his staff are horrible. I will be getting an autopsy and suing the group. I am also going to 3-5-10-12-and News 15 filing a fraud report with the Maricopa County Attorney and the Attorney General. I'm not doing this out of revenge I'm doing this to save the Animal you love and that is part of your family. DO NOT RISK YOUR PET WITH SONORA!!! MALPRACTICE TH... read more

I would recommend going elsewhere. The woman I spoke with on the phone was completely rude. I called in to ask if it was possible to speak with a veterinarian prior to making a decision regarding an extremely expensive surgery for my dog. I have never, in my 6 or 7 years of being a pet owner, been denied to speak with the veterinarian beforehand. Her response to me was "well that's what the consultation is for" IF I DON'T HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $100 FOR A CONSULTATION WHY WOULD I DO IT! I know my dog needs surgery all I needed w... read more

Great experience – My boxer Mylady broke her leg. The bone was shattered. Dr.Rizzo did a very successful operation. Mylady was moving the leg all the time because of her young age plus she had a bad infection. Dr Rizzo was always very helpful. She knew what she was doing. Now Mylady is very healty, her leg is better than ever. Thanks to Dr Rizzo. I highly recommend her after our great experience.

Fantastic vet and caring staff – I can?t say enough good about Dr. Lillian Rizzo at Sonora Veterinary Specialists. In June 2010 our Collie mix, Corona, was having trouble getting up and walking. We brought her to our regular vet, who did x-rays and said there was not anything we could do for her, due to age. We brought her to Dr. Rizzo for a second opinion. Upon examination of her x-rays, she provided a correct diagnosis and was able to help our dog. She was very thorough and explained everything so that my husband and I cou... read more

Worst Ever – If you love your pet....bring it elsewhere. These people have no sense of urgency...so if your pet is in need of emergency attention....do not bring here. My dog needed surgery asap...was there at 9am and they said they would take her in at 4...well that turned to 5. By the time she had her surgery her organs failed and she died. She was 3. They didn't even have the time for a 15 minute ultrasound until noon...due to appointments....so not a good place to bring a pet for an emergency..they don't care at all! Poo... read more

Recommend – Just wanted to share my experience with all of you. I would strongly recommend Sonora Veterinary Specialist to care for your dogs. We recently adopted a boxer puppy, Tyson. He was about 6 months old and was cute as can be, my two young boys absolutely fell in love with him. Within a week, the puppy started acting strange. He seemed very lethargic, dehydrated and he wasn't eating. He for sure wasn't acting like the puppy we brought home. We called the clinic to see if they could help us out. They told us to bring ... read more

Great Experience – We had a wonderful experience with Sonora Veterinary Specialists and Dr. Rizzo. Our Maltese Mix was urinating frequently, having accidents in the house, and I even noticed blood in her urine. A friend recommended Dr. Rizzo at Sonora Veterinary Specialists. We made an appointment and we are so happy we found Dr. Rizzo and the clinic! When we walked in the clinic everyone was very friendly. We didn
