Well, I am in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Phoenix. However... this is the vet that I use:

Ironwood Animal Hospital, Inc.
85 W Combs Rd
Suite 116
San Tan Valley, AZ 85140

Phone: 480-888-2299
Fax: 480-888-7683

They are open 24 hours for emergencies, and have regular office hours with less expensive office visit fees. So if you have a scheduled appointment, it will run a little less.
Every vet tech and vet I've seen at the practice has been very friendly.

They also have a larger, "friendlier" room that they use for when you are having to put one of your animals to sleep. I've been in that room twice - with my sweet Scooter Bug and with Oreo. They're really well staffed, and I am much happier than at my old vet office that closed down.

On Sunday 4.29.12, Sissy (12 wks old) had to have emergency surgery to remove an object from her intestine and we took her to Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Greensboro, NC. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the facilities. I was really impressed with the way they kept me informed and updated as to what was going on with Sissy (better than a hospital does for human patients imo). They are open 24/7 and I was encouraged to call anytime to check on Sissy which I did. I couldnt sleep and I called at 2:00 in the morning to speak with a tech and one time spoke with a vet . Sissy was there 2 nights and imo she received excellent care. I recommend them highly if you have a problem your regular vet cannot handle. FYI during the week they are a regular animal hospital in addition to ER.

The address is:

Carolina Veterinary Specialists
501 Nicholas Rd
Greensboro, NC
336-632-0605

In the Portland, Oregon area - Dove Lewis gets all of the media attention - but I take my kitties to the Emergency Veternary Clinic in Tualatin.
(funny how often they like to wait to get sick until the regular vet is closed. )

This place is fabulous - once saved my in-laws kitty cat when she was very sick with pancreatitis. Address is: 19314 SW Mohave Ct Tualatin, OR 97062
