We see Dr. Joe Trimmier at Ambassador. I have never known a more professional and caring veterinarian. The entire staff at Ambassador is absolutely top notch. They will always take care of all my critters!

My three angels are treated like family at Ambassador. This is the only vet office my dogs have been "thrilled" to go to. Moxy, my senior girl, has a history of seizures and Ambassador not only worked with us to develop a life changing (and life saving) medicine and diet regiment, but every visit is tailored to her special and specific needs, ensuring she feels safe and loved. I cannot express how comforting it is to so thoroughly trust and respect the ones taking care of our babies.

I was in last week with my 17 year old cat and Dr. Katy was so patient and kind with her and did a very thorough exam. Millie is doing great! I received a very detailed report on her condition.

Ambassador Animal Hospital has always taken excellent care of my animals. I have tried other Vets for convenience, but I always come back to Ambassador. They are very knowledgeable, patient, professional, and personable. I love the entire staff.

Joe and Erin are caring professionals who take great care of our pets. They also have been very supportive and flexible with treating the 13+ foster dogs that we've had vetted with them over the years with Phoenix Rising Border Collie Rescue.

We have a GS Ranger, who is both intimediating and skiddish at the same time. They knew how to handle her better than I did right away. In only a few minutes she was putty in thier hands. I made an appointment for our other dog the same day. We now have a new family Vet.

We needed to make a change in veterinary services for our aging lab, and Ambassador came highly recommended. Our first visit was professional from start to finish. ALL staff was kind and patient with our many questions and concerns. They handled our senior with the upmost care and patience. I could not believe that we got a personal follow up phone call two days after our first visit. Very happy we made the change!

Left another vet for our two standard poodles. Ambassador is AMAZING. They don't try to jack up the prices and they truly care about the animals you bring them. Wish we hadn't waited so long.

I love the flexibility with the appointments. I recently purchased a new puppy and was able to get an appointment very quickly to get her examined. Everyone was nice and friendly, and the office was clean. I'm glad I decided to come to Ambassador Animal Hospital.

My 9 yo pup needed 3 teeth removed plus the doc found a exposed root and everything turned out perfectly.she's a rescue that I've had for 6 months and now that I look back she was in pain but no more! Wags her tail all the time after procedure and never showed any interest in fetching a ball.that is until we did the dental work. She's a very happy dog now thanks to everyone at Ambassador!

I've been a customer of Ambassador Animal Clinic for over 18years. Dr. Trimmer and his team have always been helpful and professional. Every time I needed an appointment for one of my four-legged children, they were ALWAYS available. The facility is always clean and they are prompt. They take excellent care of my four-legged son. Thank you!

Friendly/caring staff, easy to make an appointment, clean environment. Dr. Holland is extremely knowledgeable. She gave us several options based on budget and was clear about her best recommendation. This was our first appointment at Ambassador and we definitely would recommend them!
