I went here to do ear cropping on my Doberman puppy Ares. First couple visits went great, the Dr told me the price which was a bit steep but thinking this vet was a good one I thought he was in good hands. Come the operation everything seems good but come to find out you're not supposed to post (tape) the ears until they are finished healing. They posted his ears immediately which led to an awful smell coming from him and I found out from a different vet that his ears were actually infected and rotting. This could have killed my dog, this could have led to his ears falling off. We took him in before because of the smell and they said he's all good and charged us $200. They didn't even change his cone or bandages...look at the pictures. Paid over $1,600+ for this and come to find out that this "Dr" has been ARRESTED for ANIMAL CRUELTY; never was told to me. Receptionist up tront was a rude, attitude was uncalled for, after I told them we're done with this vet the receptionist said "you iznts allowed to come back here nomo" haha like I would?! Worst vet I have been to. Stay AWAY from this place.

Dr. Purcell and his staff recently plucked my 17 year old service cat from the brink of death. Harley became critically ill. Many vets would have said due to his age and medical condition that we should let him go. Dr. Purcell did not. He worked the clinical problem moment by moment while keeping us abreast of all decisions. Harley was hospitalized a week with continued care when sent home. Two weeks later Harley, though a little weak, really began bouncing back. He is now returning to his old self. Dr. Purcell and his capable staff provide the best of clinical care, give continuous communications to the owners, and provides compassionate.care and service to the pet. 5 STAR VET!

Dr Purcell and his staff are absolutely amazing. We lost our little Kooper on May 18 and Dr Purcell and his staff helped me through the most davasting day of my life. They did everything they could to make our little guy better but God had other plans.
I would recommend Dr Purcell to everyone. They made sure I was informed on a daily basis and allowed me to come visit with him while he was hospitalized. After he died, they got him ready for me and we received a card in the mail with their condolences and Koopers pawprint. I want to thank them for everything they did for our little guy.

I took my kitten Kody there one Saturday morning because he was very sick and I had to put him down. The staff was SO kind and helpful and made me feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to act and what to say. They also sent me a card in the mail sending their condolences for my loss and they put my kittens paw print on the card; a wonderful surprise I didn’t know was coming. I also used to take my do Revy here and they were always so helpful and kind and sweet. I highly recommend this place.

Dr Purcell and his staff are incredible! It can be a daunting task to find a new vet; a good and trustworthy one, at that. I couldn't have made a better choice! Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Dr. Purcell explained everything about the visit and answered every question. I didn't feel rushed. You can tell he and his staff care about your pets. I'm so happy I chose this vet! I can't thank them enough!

Love them all!! They were there for me when I had to send my Oreo over the rainbow bridge. Now they are there for my Skittles girl and I can see the caring in each and everyone of them when she makes her visits for check ups, nail trims or boarding when her mom and dad go on vacation. We feel very comfortable and at ease when we drop her off, knowing that when we return she has been taken care of the way we would...(other then the crate she makes her home)...have cared for her.

This is the best veterinarian in the area. When I drive up in the parking lot, every one of my 5 dogs go nuts because they know they are coming to visit a friend. They know my dogs by names and personally as well. One of my dogs had puppies and it's been almost 2 yrs since they've gone to new families and they remember every detail about all 9 of the puppies because they care for each pet they see. Would definitely recommend if they have an opening.

I took my two cats and dog to Westside Animal Hospital for the few years I was living in the Savannah area. The staff was always warm, friendly, and they never forgot my pets faces. I only changed vet offices once I moved out of GA state. For anyone downtown, midtown, or southside, Westside Animal Hospital is totally worth the drive for your pet's regular check-up needs!
