My pets have not been patients at Westwood. I was researching vets because I'm new to the area…read more When I sent an email request for information, I got a form letter back indicating they were 3 weeks out scheduling for new patients and there is a $100 charge for all new patients. This would a charge on top of any exam or grooming fee. With a 3 week lead time, I would hate to have a pet that needed urgent care. They probably won't try to work you in, even though you're an established patient. Yes, there may be 24/7 vet facilities but when you have an established relationship with a vet who knows your pets, that's where you want to go first.

Thank you, Dr. Hunthausen, for everything you've done for our community. I greatly appreciate you and your staff!

I don't make it easy for a vet. I am knowledgeable and opinionated about pet care…read more The staff at FMA managed my dog's recent dental work despite challenges inherent with a geriatric patient and an overbearing owner. The staff was patient with me on the day of the surgery, kept me informed and moved my dog through the process efficiently. She survived the anesthesia, cleaning and extractions and should enjoy a few more years of life with clean breath and no pain. Dental work is expensive because it is time consuming and requires surgical skill to close wounds at extraction sites. The work done on my dog was necessary and reasonably priced. It is a wonderful office with friendly techs and knowledgable doctors. I would rate it SIX STARS.

I first brought Charlie in shortly after moving to the area, and during that first visit we got difficult news about a mass. Dr. Wilson handled that moment with so much compassion and honesty, which meant a lot. From then on, I brought Charlie in regularly, and I always felt like we were in good hands. Dr. Wilson was patient, thoughtful, and took the time to explain everything clearly. When it came time to say goodbye, she made a very hard experience as peaceful as it could be. Her kindness and empathy really stood out. I truly appreciate the whole team and would absolutely trust them again with a future pet.

I highly recommend taking your pets to Dr. Kent Callicott…read more I took my pug to Dr. Callicott for nasal and soft palate surgery to help improve her breathing. Not only did he do an excellent job with the surgery, but he also discovered a mass in the back of her mouth that had gone unnoticed. Since then, Dr. Callicott has been incredible. He has guided me through every step of the treatment process after the mass was confirmed to be cancerous. He has taken the time to answer all of my questions with patience and compassion, helping me understand our options and making a very difficult situation much easier to navigate. I am truly grateful for his expertise, thoroughness, and genuine care for both my dog and my family. I couldn't recommend Dr. Callicott more highly.

I purchased the care club for my dog last year. Multiple times throughout the year, I inquired and made clear that I wanted to take advantage of the care club to get the next round of vaccines. Multiple times I was assured this would be no problem. When I made the appt a few weeks ago, i again reiterated that I wanted to get the shots done before the end of her membership. The appt was made for this morning. After I made the arrangements - rearranging my day to make the appt work - and after waiting to get in, I was told that the membership expired 5 days ago and therefor I would have to renew in order to use the benefit!!! ARE YOU **IN KIDDING ME? No. I verbalized my intentions every. single. time. I talked with their office. And every single time, I was assured that the benefit would cover. The fact that they chose to schedule me for a date that was outside the window feels like a bait and switch!

Dr. Megan Wright was the most amazing that I have ever been to! We have been to five different…read moreveterinarians from Ohio to Missouri trying to figure out what was going on with our French bulldog biscuit! We have been given every excuse possible, literally for what could be wrong with him with no test done no thorough exam or anything. All the other veterinarians and offices cared about was collecting money from us and making sure that we made future appointments so they can collect more money for us all the while our poor baby was in pain! She figured it out on the first try he has something called a Luxating patella! Basically his knee cap shifts out of place constantly! She was absolutely amazing. She was caring, and her vet tech was so nurturing to biscuit not only that but the front desk was literally the friendliest most honest amazing front desk that I have ever been to one of the ladies even explained to me how her dog had to have knee surgery also I am just really thankful for this veterinarian clinic. Anybody who speaks ill on them has not met Dr. Wright because I'm telling you right now she's probably saved my dog.

On June 10th, I noticed my boyfriend's cat Shino didn't wake me up at the crack of dawn for…read morebreakfast, so something was obviously amiss. Didn't know what to think, his body language was uncomfortable because his tail was down and he seemed a little lethargic, on top of no appetite. I chalked it up to him maybe just not feeling well enough to eat at the moment. When we got home, however, he still showed disinterest in us and his food. Then he tried to use the litter box and strained. Emergency Vet time. We went to VEG for some tests and an x ray and things looked okay which was great news! No blockage to be seen. But another day goes by and he still keeps straining. And I also noticed his tail isn't really down due to discomfort, it's down because it seems to be paralyzed. I called VEG and they directed me to wait to take him to a family vet the next morning, which was a Friday. I called into work and did as directed, taking him to a family vet. Told them about his straining, and his tail. They did another x-ray, and gave me no answers. Honestly, they cost us $450 to leave with more questions than answers. He does poop that night though, so we're a bit at ease throughout Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, he once again doesn't wake me up after waking me up the last couple mornings for breakfast. I get to check on him and try to offer him some food. He doesn't take it, but paces between the litter boxes, straining over 10 times in the span of 20 minutes. I didn't get the answers I need from the vet we visited on Friday, so I google vets in my area and click on the very first one I'm shown. I called up GoodVets and ended up breaking down trying to explain to the receptionist what Shino's conditions and symptoms have been. They were very compassionate towards me and set me up with a 4pm drop off. I get there, still in tears. The receptionist checks Shino in and gets us in a room and brings me a water, then sends in a tech. I can't remember the names of the tech or the receptionist but they were both extremely compassionate to me and empathetic about Shino. I give the tech the rundown and leave Shino with her. Dr. Boone calls before 4pm and gives me all the info he found. Shino seems to have a tail pull injury which has affected how efficiently he can have bowel movements by himself. Dr. Boone prescribed a liquid laxative and pain meds for Shino, and answered all mine and my partner's questions and concerns. Shino has had at least one bowel movements as of Tuesday night (yay!!) and seems a lot more comfortable since coming home from GoodVets. I've never been so happy to have a cat pawing my face and meowing endlessly until I get out of bed to feed him. I fully intend to transfer the records of my other cats to GoodVets and have them as our fuzzy families primary veterinary. The gist of my review: the receptionist and tech I was able to speak with were both incredibly compassionate and empathetic, and Dr. Boone was knowledgeable and really eased my nerves about Shino's well being. I left with my questions answered.

Initially they told me she'd have to stay overnight, but when I dropped her off they said I could pick her up that afternoon (they explained that the spay/neuter pets stay overnight).
