What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews from business partners praise Western Veterinary Partners' organization and investment in animal welfare. Darker picture emerges in customer complaints: after acquiring clinics, the company cut back on pet health communication, cancelled appointments repeatedly across multiple locations, and staff turnover made consistent care difficult. One recent one-star review alleges review suppression, while a patient praising Dr. Etheridge at Wellshire Animal Hospital shows promise when operations run smoothly.

Reviewers consistently report feeling heard and unhurried from arrival through discharge. Staff write concerns on whiteboards, answer every question, and follow up by mail or message. Dr. Spring, Dr. Moreman, Dr. Porta, and Dr. Court earn trust especially with older, fearful, and medically complex pets. The clinic handles routine cleanings, mass removals, and end-of-life care with equal gentleness. Separate cat and dog spaces, treat menus, and recovery rooms for sensitive animals reflect genuine attention to comfort. Cost runs higher than some clinics, but reviewers say the clinical skill and emotional care justify it.
