All of our animals have been treated at Palisades since we moved to Fountain Hills in 1988.  Of course, the doctors have changed along with a bigger practice, facility and staff but it is still the friendly and professional clinic we depend on.  We have had 4 cats and 6 dogs over the years, and they always received the best care.  Dr. Hessian and Dr. Diltz were very supportive when we were faced with euthanizing our 3 elderly dogs within this last year.  They gave us choices and possible scenarios for treatment and left the decision up to us without judgement.   It was overwhelming but the staff was so kind, and,  I was comforted by the knowledge behind all 3 decisions.  ( my large dogs lived 15, 13 1/2 and 13 years!)   So, now we have a new puppy!  She has already been seen by Dr. H and Dr. D.  and we look forward to continuing this great relationship.  I recommend this genuine group of pet lovers to anyone who is searching for quality veterinary care for their pets.
