Dr. Wilt and his staff have taken excellent care of my dog Eloise. When I was a new resident of the community I asked neighbors and people I met for recommendations and was referred to Ranson Animal Hospital. I am grateful that Dr. Wilt was taking new patients. He was able to see my dog in a reasonable amount of time whenever I called because she was sick or injured and he has always carefully and fully explained her health issues and options. I am most grateful for the excellent, professional and compassionate care provided by Dr. Wilt and his staff. read more

We stopped taking our pets to Ranson Animal Hospital years ago due to the veterinarian's poor bedside manner. Recently, I accompanied a friend to an appointment there and was quickly reminded why we left. The atmosphere remains dismissive and unwelcoming, and it's clear they are not focused on client relationships or patient comfort. I was especially concerned to overhear the vet brushing off my friend's valid concerns about the way she was treated by the support staff earlier that week. There was no effort to listen, empathize, or acknowledge her experience--it felt cold and condescending. What's more troubling is that for eight years, my friend's dog was told she had a heart murmur--only to be correctly diagnosed as not having one after switching to our current vet at Apple Tree Animal Clinic (recommended by the Humane Society). If you're looking for a clinic where your concerns will be heard and your pets treated with compassion and professionalism, I recommend going elsewhere. Bedside manner matters, and unfortunately, it's still lacking at Ranson Animal Hospital. read more

Zero would be more fitting- I CALLED FIRST- stated: my dog was bit by a snake. They asked if I saw the kind of snake I said no, he was in the tall grass around the shed- but we have copperheads up here- he isn't doing well, leg is swelling and he's very dizzy. They told me bring him straight in. I did. They said they thought it may be a break- I said no, it's a snake bite. They say they don't see puncture marks. So they X-ray him, they say no break, but they might do some more testing- I said shave his damn leg and check for puncture because I told you it's a snake bite. They say "oh yeah, we see two small punctures, it's a snake bite. You'll need to take him somewhere else, we do not carry anti venom." Wasted a lot of time and still paid over $700 for them to bullshit me around. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE- I still have to pay out, but considering legal action, they are unethical. Thank god Blue Ridge Veterinary Associates saved my boy. read more

Ranson Animal Hospital - A dumpster fire... - Veterinarians Near Me - Ranson, West Virginia

I have been a client for almost 8 years. Dr. Wilt has walked me through geriatric and end of life care for two dogs, routine spay/neuter vaccines for a few stray cats, and is beloved by my two current dogs. He's less "pupular" with my mom's chihuahua, but demonstrates lots of patience with the little rotten dog regardless. We have utilized almost all of the available services, from dental cleanings to diagnostic bloodwork. I was the office manager of a vet clinic when I was younger, so I am pretty picky, but Dr. Wilt is one of the best practical diagnosticians that I have met. read more

Very professional, caring staff. Highly recommend. Truly impressed. Smmoth operation start to finish.

After using Ranson Animal Hospital for my 2 rescue dogs, my oldest dog stopped eating or getting up. I made the painful decision to let her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I called this morning, explained her situation and was told they couldn't help me today. How uncaring they were. I will never take any of my dogs there again with the attitude I was given. I called Blue Ridge Veterinary in Purcellville Va- their response- of course we'll help you, bring her in. They were wonderful and very caring with my girl. I highly recommend them. read more

First visit here and I was very comfortable from the front desk to the exam room. Everyone put the animals first and made a very easy visit.

Sadly I left Animal Ranson hospital because something changed with Dr. Wilt. Where at first it seemed he was so caring and thoughtful became more of how much money can I get you to spend here and not even care. When I first posted in 2019, I was very optimistic. I was sadly disappointed and devastated actually of his blatantly lack of concern and care for my ailing dog. He sent me to another vet because he was out-of-town. I went to the exact vet they recommended me to see since he was not available. After he came back into town, I wanted him to go over the biopsy results with me to help give me insight and clarity to give my girl a much deserved enriched life until it was time for her to pass. He refused to talk to me, and he wanted to repeat the tests himself. A big fat NO once he refused to even have a conversation with me. read more

I am going out of town and called and took my cat Chloe in to be reassure me she was ok before I leave, Thank You Dr. Wilt you are so kind

They are straight forward, but willing to listen to you as well. We've done many different things there, from euthanasia, yearly checks, surgery, "emergencies"...and each experience has been different but one thing remains the same, quality. He won't sugar coat a bad situation. read more

I took my pets here for several years - the last 2 years it became evident that Dr. Wilt didn't really care anymore. Last year, I brought in my 8 year old cat who presented as being extremely thin, overeating and drinking substantially, and with oily fur. He had gone from 13 to 9lbs in a few months. He had developed a heart murmur and elevated liver enzymes. Sound familiar?? I insisted TWICE on a thyroid test and he refused. He said it was from a flea product and I spent 1200$ on 2 weeks of subQ fluids. Obviously nothing improved so I took him to Leesburg for a second opinion. IMMEDIATELY the vet there was like "this cat clearly needs his thyroid checked" and said he had a huge lump on his left gland. Did an in-office test and his thyroid just read greater than 20. It was off the charts. If Dr. Wilt had listened to my request for the thyroid and really done a differential since his symptoms lined up perfectly with hyperthyroidism, I would have saved time and money and heartache. Spent another $1800 on two doses (yes, it was so bad he needed two) of radioactive iodine therapy at Seven Bends and transferred primary care to Spring Mills and now my cat is CURED and DOUBLED in weight. No heart murmur. No liver problems. Will never go back to this vet. read more

Wow what a horrible experience. Whoever this receptionist is needs a new line of work. She didn't want to give me to a supervisor... after the fifth time of ME deescalating the situation and I told her I want to talk to a manger please she finely decided to tell me one wasn't available. Also, BLATANTLY LIED about her telling me to go somewhere else until I told her I remember who she was now. She tried lying then I made her admit it where she continued to repeat herself. I will never spend a dime here because of here. Need a supervisor to contact me right away. On top of everything she hung up on me ! read more

Had friend's recommendation based on experience with her dogs. Saw Dr Wilt with my cat. First appointment was just okay. Subsequent appointments he seemed abrupt and disinterested. Not good with cats. Final attempted appointment was to euthanize my seriously ill dying cat. I was offered a time 10 days out! Found a more sympathetic vet an hour later. Will never bring another animal here! read more

Excellent doctor and staff! They're great about fitting you in last minute too. I've brought all of my pets here since early 2012 and don't have any complaints. Reasonably priced as well- I've had a couple pets undergo some surgeries that would've been much more expensive elsewhere. read more

Dr. Wilt and his staff are absolutely incredible! I have two dogs, and a third being welcome to our family. There is no one else I would trust their lives to. I moved to the area not long ago and he has helped me tremendously with one of my dogs and her horrible anxiety! No other Vet has been able to properly address these issues, but Dr. Wilt helped all of us to have better days! The staff that works there is also just amazing. Very nurturing, very caring, very welcoming. I am so grateful for them and this practice! read more

We love Ranson Animal Hospital! Norm cares for our 19 indoor rescue kitties. He makes a home visit for the 11 that don't travel well, and that makes it so much easier for me. I appreciate all they do for our family and would never go anywhere else! read more

When I moved to Harpers Ferry from Rockville about 8 years and I could not find a decent vet. I would take my dogs back to Rockville for care. My groomer recommended Dr Wilt. I was hesitant because of the last vet I saw here, but I was tired of driving to MD. I am glad I went. I've been going there for a couple of years now. He's great (for a GA bulldog, kidding). Very good with my dogs. He doesn't nickel and dime me and discusses treatment options, pros and cons. My one dog had a large personality in a little body. She used to have to be muzzled all the time. It got to the point where we didn't have to. Good staff too. They are always extra helpful. read more

This is a message to Yelp or whoever posted this phone number. It's incorrect! I found this out when my dog had an emergency. Also, when the vet leaves a message that they are closed he should be more specific. Are you closed for lunch, for the day, the week or permanently? Say when you will be back in the office. read more

People are nice but they run tests without giving you any estimates. He charges outrageous amounts for simple surgeries, like $850 to remove a cyst! And I had to request an estimate.... It is very sad when you see vets gouging and guilting their patients. Had the cyst removed by a good vet. Meds, blood work, etc. $355 out the door. Not going back to Dr. Wilt, sorry. read more

Please change your hours to reflect when the veterinarian is in the office. Our kitten died before we could get it to a clinic where the vet was in. It would be useful for emergency cases. The nurse was very helpful in where to find other clinics and I am thankful for that. read more
