Introduction: A Clear Path to Pet Wellness

For many families, taking a pet to the vet can feel overwhelming. What will happen at the exam? How long will it take? Will my pet feel comfortable? At Phoenix Mobile Veterinarians and Animal Hospital, we believe transparency builds trust. That’s why we provide daily exam appointments at our Scottsdale hospital — and make sure families know exactly what to expect when they arrive.

Located at 8989 E Via Linda, Suite 104, Scottsdale, AZ, our animal hospital welcomes dogs and cats for both routine wellness exams and exams when pets aren’t feeling their best.

Step 1: A Warm Welcome

When you and your pet arrive, our client service team greets you and checks you in quickly. We know visits can be stressful for pets, so we make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

  • Families appreciate our calm, welcoming lobby.
  • Pets are treated with care and patience from the moment they enter.
  • Questions and concerns are noted right away so the doctor can address them during the exam.

Step 2: Thorough Examination

During your pet’s exam, one of our veterinarians — Dr. Mark Caldwell or Dr. Kristin Fornara — performs a nose-to-tail evaluation, which may include:

  • Listening to the heart and lungs.
  • Checking eyes, ears, and teeth.
  • Assessing skin, coat, and weight.
  • Palpating the abdomen and muscles.
  • Discussing behavior, appetite, and lifestyle changes.

This comprehensive approach ensures no detail is overlooked, whether your pet is here for preventive care or a medical concern.

Step 3: Clear Communication

We believe in collaboration with pet parents. After the exam, our veterinarians explain:

  • Findings from the physical exam.
  • Any concerns that need monitoring or further diagnostics.
  • Recommendations for vaccinations, preventive treatments, or next steps.
  • Opportunities for you to ask questions and get clear answers.

Families leave each exam knowing exactly what was done and why — and what comes next.

Step 4: Additional Diagnostics or Treatments (If Needed)

Sometimes, an exam reveals the need for further testing or treatment. Because we are a full-service animal hospital, those services can be performed right here in Scottsdale:

This seamless transition from exam to diagnostics saves families from multiple trips or referrals.

Step 5: Personalized Care Plan

Each family leaves with a personalized care plan. This might include:

  • Recommendations for nutrition and preventive care.
  • Scheduling vaccines or follow-up exams.
  • Diagnostic results and treatment options.
  • Clear timelines for ongoing care.
