Dr. Whitney's team is the very top of the list of vets I have had over my many years of parenting fur-babies. These professionals truly care about my dogs' welfare. I just experienced the dreaded decision-making: surgery with a dark prognosis vs. euthanasia. Because these docs shot straight with me, I opted for the latter. Dr. Kueter expertly and lovingly helped my Scruffy's pain/discomfort, and my baby girl passed without incident (except for my broken heart, of course). I highly, highly recommend these vets for their professionalism, knowledge, and their love for animals. All of the staff are included in this five-star review. Read Less

I can't imagine taking my furkids to any other ve t. My dogs have had Dr. Dan Whitney as their vet from the first day JCAH opened. I'm very grateful and appreciative of the staff. Their care and compassion is exemplary. I feel blessed to have such expertise and skill involved in all aspects of my pet's care. Even though the "pets" are their clients, the staff is equally caring and concerned with owner's questions and concerns over the animals health and care needs. I appreciate the attentiveness and efforts to provide the best care possible. Bravo JCAH! No wonder you are voted #1 Vet in the West Des Moines/Waukee Area. Thanks for the great work.

They are very caring. There care is excellent.. its not the cheapest in the area but i would rate as near the best or possibly the best. You get what you pay for. I did lot of research before I moved vets. I watched them and how they handled the dogs they boarded. I watched how they treated the dogs staying with them by how they handled their lead. They walk the boarded dogs often...they seem very contentious. They have been accused of trying to sell extra services. I havent found that they offer any more than is necessary. They do offer comprehensive service and land on the side of more care than less care. There are times when i choose less care. We've been there in time of emergency and they were super helpful. They did a follow up call to make sure that Sampson was doing well. Read Less

Best Vet in the State! We had our new adopted Husky Reba in this morning for her first vet check up! We got right in to see Dr. Keuster, had her exam, and she answered all of my questions. We were in there for an hour which was absolutely awesome! To top off the great visit, we were given a sample bag of some good grain free dog food, AND it was a courtesy check up since it was her first since her adoption! Great Vet Hospital and great staff!! We took our old dog here, and couldn't have asked for a better Vet. Thanks for everything Jordan Creek Animal Hospital!!! Read Less

My cat, Kendall, and I visited for the first time two days ago. The experience was fantastic! The staff that worked with us were all amazing - we immediately were given a room so Kendall could be more comfortable, Kendall was kept away from other animals to keep her from agitation, and she was gently given shots and had her blood drawn. I highly recommend this facility, the genuinely nice and accommodating staff and our doctor, Rachel Varley. Did I mention the cat food discount... awesome. Read Less

Dr. Mingus has been amazing helping with our cat Hurley! We brought Hurley to JCAH in an emergency type situation on a Saturday afternoon. They got me in as quickly as they could (within a half hour of my call in panic as they were also closing soon) we brought Hurley in with him having difficultly breathing. He was scared as could be and being scared only made him struggle to breath more! Dr. Mingus acted quickly to the situation and attended to him right away! In a horrific situation, she continued to keep us calm and assure us he would be ok. She kept us updated every 10 minutes while trying to regulate his breathing. Her caring, fast acting, and honesty really put my trust in her! She was willing to discuss cost and options and understood budgeting comes with vet care! She did not judge. Our cat had to stay the weekend and she gave us the option to take him home or leave him there for the weekend. I let him stay there under her care because I felt better with her caring for him with the professional equipment and trusted her 100% and still do! Thank you doctor Mingus! You have been amazing and I really appreciate your time, and caring, honest personality! Thank you!Read Less
