Gilbert Veterinary Hospital

What Gilbert Veterinary Hospital does

Gilbert Veterinary Hospital is a privately owned, AAHA-accredited small animal hospital founded in 1978 and located at 1655 S. Gilbert Rd., Gilbert, Arizona. Dr. Beverly Scott purchased the practice in 1979 from original owner Dr. John Woods, establishing it as one of the first and still one of the few independently owned small animal hospitals in Gilbert. The hospital has operated continuously at the same site, just south of Ray and Gilbert Roads, for over 30 years and earned American Animal Hospital Association accreditation in 1988, which it successfully renewed in 2021 against approximately 900 quality standards.

The practice functions as a full-service primary care veterinary clinic for dogs and cats. Service offerings span medical examinations, wellness and preventive care, vaccinations, dental care with digital dental X-ray, digital radiology, surgery and spay/neuter, an in-house laboratory with Idexx reference lab backup, an on-site pharmacy, microchip identification, interstate health certificates, and prescription and special diet foods. Physical capacity includes 8 private exam rooms, a monitored surgery suite, five dedicated hospital wards (cat, dog by size, ICU, isolation, and large runs), and visiting-specialist coverage from Dr. Green (ultrasound and endoscopy) and Dr. Moody (advanced soft tissue and bone surgery). The clinical team comprises 5 doctors and 26 support staff, including certified veterinary technicians overseen by a Technician Supervisor.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service professional charges for consultations, procedures, surgery, and diagnostics, supplemented by on-site pharmacy dispensing and a VetSource-powered online channel for prescription diet pet food with home delivery. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and locally focused: appointments are scheduled Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM-2:00 PM, with after-hours emergency phone lines and curbside service introduced during COVID-19. The hospital serves dog and cat owners across Gilbert and surrounding Arizona communities, and acquires and retains clients via its website, Facebook page, an email newsletter, community referral, Yelp, and a "Vet Talk" educational blog. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per service.
