Westside Animal Hospital

Waiting months for an appointment was worth it. In the interim, Westside took care of the transfer of medical records from our former vet, began email delivery of their newsletter, and sent timely reminders for our pup’s appointment. Reception was ready for our visit and our wait time was minimal. Our vet tech was welcoming, attentive and thorough. Our new Veterinarian, Dr. Hand, and our tech introduced themselves and examined our shy doodle, Katie, with such kindness and compassion … everyone sitting on the floor and speaking in soft tones. He was thorough, yet, gentle with his physical exam.. He patiently listened to my concerns. He explained his observations and answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed or intimidated. The anxiety of not knowing how this first visit would go disappeared very quickly. Though Katie is normally ready to leave the doctors office, during this visit, she was drawn to, made direct eye contact with, and demonstrated trust in her new care team. We sensed one another’s relief. I am so grateful to have established care for our Katie at Westside Animal Hospital. This initial encounter gave me confidence that the quality of care Katie receives will continue to be delivered competently, and with the kindness, empathy and compassion that pets (and, everyone , for that matter) deserve.

It was my first visit. My dog is 16 years old and we’ve struggled finding good care. This place seems great! Our appointment went well and they even had an affordable senior testing package! It was great. Will be going back!

We took our two cats to see Dr. Cole in January. Immediately, I was comfortable with the office and front desk staff, and Mary Ann, one of the vet techs, was terrific. I felt like my cats were in very good hands. I really loved Dr. Cole and hope to have her care for our animals long into the future. I would highly recommend Westside Animal Hospital.

I have been going to Westside for 10 years with several dogs. This particular dog, Josie reached a point where amputation of her rear leg was the best thing to bring her a true quality of life. The team at Westside is always welcoming and friendly. This time was no exception. We always feel that our dogs are in the best hands there. Dr. Geist called me 2 different times and walked me though pre-op and called right after Post op. I never felt rushed with him and he answered all of my questions. Post surgery, my Tri-pawed was walking that night and eating. On day 2 we have been on 3 short walks, she’s going up and down stairs, going to the bathroom and eating! If she wasn’t freshly missing a leg, you probably wouldn’t know there was anything wrong. Thanks to the team at Westside, it looks like she will have a long and healthy and happy life! Thank you.

I always have amazing care, no matter who I see! This year my dog, Ike was diagnosed with Cushing's disease and he is now thriving again. My furries and I thank you for great care! Ike, Bette and Taavi!
