First conceptualized in early 2002, Priority Pet Hospital is the vision and dream of Drs. William Griswold and Karin Burns.  Priority Pet Hospital was conceived as a veterinary practice providing the highest standard of care and consistently exceptional service to clients who regard their pets as part of the family.

The team at Priority Pet Hospital is dedicated to its motto:  Putting Pets First.  Our goal is to operate a practice focused on our patients’ needs for preventative, medical, surgical, and behavioral care.  We strive to provide exceptional service to all of our clients, demonstrating by word and deed that their pets are as special to us as they are to them.

We look forward to welcoming you—and your four-legged family members—in December 2007 when our dream comes to life in the Basha’s shopping center on the southwest corner of Val Vista Drive and Queen Creek Road in Gilbert, Arizona.

Priority Pet Hospital will be a leader among veterinary hospitals, a pet-centered practice providing compassionate, comprehensive care and individual service to our patients and their families.

The mission of Priority Pet Hospital is to help people help pets by involving them as educated, active, participants in their pets’ medical care. Through staff development, we strive to create respect and opportunity leading to personal and professional success for the entire healthcare team. Our ultimate purpose is to celebrate, nurture, and preserve the bond shared between pets and people.

Commitment: We believe that pets are family, and that caring for pets requires significant investments of love, time, and other resources. We understand the great responsibility our clients have accepted by welcoming pets into their lives and strive to assist them in fulfilling their obligation. We realize that our business, like our patients, requires attention if it is to grow, and we are dedicated to the continued advancement of our teammates, our practice, and our profession.

Trust: We recognize that earning our clients’ trust is an essential prerequisite to providing care for their beloved pets. We develop and maintain trust through open, honest communication, compassionate care, and unparalleled professionalism. Each member of our team is trusted and empowered to make decisions in the best interest of our patients and our practice.

Education: We view education as a lifelong process that forms the foundation on which excellent pet healthcare is built. Knowledge is not to be guarded, but shared among doctors, their teammates, our clients, and our community, thereby enabling pet lovers to make informed decisions and select the best care possible for their companions.

Excellence: Our practice operates under the belief that our clients want for their pets the same thing we do: the best, most complete care available. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of care and service, providing a clean, modern facility, and responding to the changing demands of our patients, clients, and profession.
