What recent reviews say

Every visit feels like your pet is genuinely cared for as an individual. Staff write your questions on a whiteboard, go through them all, answer quickly, and never rush you out the door. Nervous or fearful dogs become calm here, and even geriatric dogs get thorough evaluation for surgery that other vets refuse. They follow up with handwritten notes, custom tags, and paw prints after euthanasia.

Dr. Spring, Dr. Moreman, Dr. Court, Dr. Robb, and Dr. Katz are all praised for patience and expertise with complex cases. The clinic offers dental cleanings with extractions, mass removals, and uses Fear Free techniques. Reviewers say the price is higher than some places, but worth it for the attention and genuine compassion.

Strong backing from business partners and employees speaks to WVP's operations and ethics, but pet owner reviews reveal significant friction post-acquisition: communication has dropped, records aren't kept reliably, and scheduling is unreliable. State-of-the-art facilities exist, but service delivery and follow-through have deteriorated.
