AMSC boarding and indoor park
Nestled quietly on the corner of 82nd Street and Princess Drive in Scottsdale sits a state-of-the-art Mayo Clinic-type hospital for animals called the Animal Medical & Surgical Center (AMSC). The long-time dream child of its creator, veterinarian Dr. Charles Pullen, the center has been serving the animals of the Phoenix area, in a myriad of ways, since December of 2006.
The soul of the center radiates from the treatment rooms where everything from ear cleaning to lab tests are performed with expert care, and if your pet is under the weather, there is an ill-animal entrance and self-contained isolation area, which ensures the health and safety of well animals.
Meticulously designed with System One lighting and Digicare monitoring systems, the major and minor surgical suites feature overhead cameras, allowing unobstructed views of live surgical procedures, should you wish to watch your animal during their repair. Dr. Pullen is known for performing narrated surgeries and has used DVD’s to train other veterinarians with his advanced surgery techniques. Dr. Pullen performs the Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) procedure, and now offers the new Tight Rope, both surgical procedures for ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), an all too common issue with many dogs today.
After surgery, your animal will be monitored 24/7 in a temperature, humidity, and oxygen controlled environment, by a veterinary nurse, for optimum healing.
“The emphasis in our practice is to provide advanced orthopedic, abdominal, thoracic, spinal, cardiovascular, soft tissue, and re-constructive surgery, along with in-depth internal medicine and general health care,” declares Dr. Pullen.
Dr. Pullen is proud to announce that AMSC is among the 14% of veterinary hospitals who are members of the American Animal Hospital Association, an elite group who adhere to the highest quality standards for veterinary medicine in the United States and Canada.
Taking a vacation? Worrying about leaving your animals behind will not be an issue, since they’ll be enjoying a Disneyland-like atmosphere. The entire second floor of the building features an indoor exercise park, complete with sunroof, live trees, and green area for supervised play. Each pet condo includes raised beds, windows, Animal Planet, on their own TV, and a web-cam to monitor each guest, and through which you can view your pets remotely. Cats get the same VIP treatment with their own special condos, separated from the canines, to ensure a calm and pleasant stay. Hospital staff is on duty 24 hours every day, seven days each week.
Last, but certainly not least, professional groomers are on staff, rounding out the full service experience at the Animal Medical & Surgical Center (AMSC).
Compassionate care flourishes with cutting edge technology, providing an extraordinary experience for your beloved fur kids.
