My puppy definitely made a lot of new friends with the staff! Dr Heist came out to speak with me and was personable, kind and you can tell she really cares about her patients. All she wants is the best for every pup. She goes over every little detail in what she diagnoses and why things are the way they are. Overall a great experience and will be taking all of my dogs there from now on. Thanks guys!

Dr. Heist is a wonderful vet. She was very caring and knowledgeable with my dog. The staff at Rincon Vista is also great. So friendly and caring for my pet. The prices are very reasonable for Tucson. I'm highly satisfied with the care my pet received from Dr. Heist and her staff. I will continue to bring my dogs Deliah and Rico to see them.

I have been going to Rincon Vista for the past 13 years. They are very caring and thorough with all my animal's needs. I have never been forced to do any service that I feel uncomfortable with, and they are upfront about their costs. Everyone is friendly and communicate well. As long as I have pets, this is my veterinarian of choice.

My pups Luna and Sol have been coming here since I adopted them from pacc. My pups have no fear of the vet and love the staff. They were understanding of my concerns about them being separated and always bring them back together to make for a less stressful visit for every one.

This was the BEST experience my best friend, Drake, and I had at a Vet office by far! We were so happy with the service and overall compassion everyone in the office showed us. From the helpful and informative staff on the phone (who also helped accomodate my hectic schedule AND my horrible sense of direction!) to the techs who handled my baby with love and of course the Vet, who took her time explaining LOTS of info to me and genuinely cared about animals and their people, Rincon is too notch!!! I would highly recommend anyone who has a pet friend in need to please not hesitate and make an appointment here!
