Effective Immediately, as of 10/31/22: Please Note that we have a New Paging System! Our old pager number is no longer active. Our new Emergency Paging System is as follows:

**You no longer need to call a separate number to page the doctor on call when you are having a pet emergency.

**If it is after our business hours, please call our Main Number (480-706-8478), and then once the After-Hours Message begins,  there will be an option to be transferred to our Emergency Paging System.

**Once transferred, the call will ring through to the doctor on call. If the doctor misses your call, you will be prompted to leave a brief message with only your Name and Phone Number. It is important that you Speak Slowly and Clearly so that the doctor is able to promptly return your call.

**Emergency Calls to this system will only be returned if our office is closed, AND it is between the hours of 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM.

**This is not a 24-hour system and calls will not be returned overnight.
