Westside Animal Hospital

"2 and a half years ago, I would have given this vet practice 10 stars if I could. When I had to put my pup Buster down after 12 years, I was beyond devastated, and this practice made me and my family feel supported and loved. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, and I was flabbergasted. I brought my new pup (now 2 years old) in with a nasty ear infection. I was made to feel like a TERRIBLE pet owner. I know his ear infection was bad, that’s why we were there. I know this practice is pricey, so I was expecting the cost, but not the appalling treatment that I received. When I came in for our follow up appointment today, I was told by the other (new?) doctor in the practice that I would need to SEDATE my pup to pluck his ear hair, and treat him again, which would have probably cost me in excess of $800 (sedation plus another $200+ for the medication). All this to say, when I saw Dr. Walker 2 weeks ago, she informed me best practice says not to pluck the ear hair in dogs. Either way, I don’t know what to believe, and I will be finding a new vet to care for my beloved pup. If you want someone talking out of both sides of their mouth, and a practice that is looking to make money, not provide quality care, this is the place for you. If not, I would suggest looking elsewhere."

"I love Dr Walker and crew! Never had an animal excited to go to the vet before"

"We love the Dr. and staff The Dr saved my yellow lab Mauis life when it was an emergency. I only take my babies here especially when it’s for a surgery or a serious issue. She is the only doctor I trust with my fur babies lives. Yes, it’s pricey. But what healthcare isnt these days… thanks for all you do:))"

"Stopped into this office near my home to ask a general question about my cat. Upon entering, I was confronted by what I can only say, appeared as a specter from behind the desk. An older female with very black lipstick, tons of dark, dark makeup and a very bad attitude. I asked, "could I ask you a question?" The reply was ,"we don't answer questions. Again I asked. The reply was a more emphatic " we don't answer questions" along with a smirk and a laugh. Have never been treated so coarsely by any Healthcare person. Luckily for my cat, the guy at the farm store gave me the info and remedy I needed. Hurray for vets. On a Parr with the guy at the farm store."

"Dr Walker and staff have taken care of my pets for 15 years!! Dr Walker is simply the best in vet medicine!! Sarah and staff are so very kind and professional always!! I moved away from bartow county but travel far for my baby to be treated by the best!!"
