I want to give a big thank you to Krista Styers head tech and Dr.Laster of VCA Whispering Pine for saving are girls life. from the head tech that listen to what I thought was going on and the doctor that came in on her day off to operate and save her life ,and what felt like nobody was listening. I am so grateful for a place that truly cares about the animal and wants nothing but the best.and are so selfless to work on there day off and to care just a little bit more to save life’s. If anyone on my page has animal I’m telling you this is the place to go with your animal to be truly taken care of.we work hard for are animal to be taken care of. we have to take them to a place where the team the tech and the doctors care that much as well.Thank you from the bottom of my heart I will forever and always be a client.

Dr. Quinn is fantastic! I just had to put my Sheltie to sleep. It was so hard but Dr. Quinn came out to my car to do this for me. She and I both shed tears. She cares so much about her patients and I could tell that from the moment I first met her!! The office is lucky to have her. My furr babies are lucky to have her as their doctor. Thank you so much Dr. Quinn, you are the best!! Read Less

My experience with Whispering Pines VCA was more than pleasant, it was great! The staff was exceptional and patient, and really cared about my dog's well being. Both the doctor and office manager, Lindsey, explained different, and effective, ways to help with his skin allergies. Since visiting them, Huckleberry has improved 100%. I couldn't be happier and would recommend VCA to anyone. Thanks!! Read Less

I have three very interesting dogs. One can be very difficult and another is very skiddish. The techs at this hospital are always so patient and usually I feel very uncomfortable at a vets office because the receptionists are always cold and hide behind their desks; but the receptionists here are always very friendly and stay up o date with your wait time. I also think it is nice that they will fit you in if your pet is sick; I understand they see their appointments first but as a sick pet you will be eventually helped which saves me from paying a buttload of money at the hospital off of US 1.

I was going to just let my experience go until I saw that I wasn't the only one who got a bad deal. One of our family dog's was attacked this morning. We took her to this place because it was open until 1 and very close to us. We got there before 12 and we were turned away because the vet wanted to leave. So we had to drive farther and spend twice as much some where else. .I will not recommend this place to anyone! Read Less

Just moved to the area from California and my one Lab has chronic ear infections. I called them today and they made a "fit-in" appointment for me TODAY! The appointment from start to finish was about 1 hour, but that was due to entering in my information and all of my animal records I brought with me. I saw Dr. McDuffie and he was fantastic with my guy - sure enough infections in both ears... I also had my guy tested for heartworm so I could start him on a preventative medication. Price wise they were much cheaper than California Vet and they did everything in the room with me there; I like that in a vet office. All in all I would recommend this clinic to everyone in the area and I will be going back with the rest of my herd. I do wish they had a website though with price info - that would make things a bit easier for those of us glued to the net... Read Less

Let me begin by saying my dog is less than perfect at the vet, she is terrified and will bark but is a very very sweet dog. Our vet in New York would just talk to her and sit on the ground and she would kiss his face and calm right down. I went to Whispering Pines Animal Hospital twice, the first appointment we waited quite some time and were told the vet was not actually there, so we had what the vet techs could do done and rescheduled for the follow week for just her physical. No one tried to talk to her, just gave me a muzzle to put on her and that was it, yes well aware that should have been my first clue. We went back, waited for 45 minutes, the vet stuck her head in and asked "Has it ever been kicked out of any clinics".....it. She called my dog an it. I politely explained that she most certainly had not and that we were leaving. She responded with a good and "we don't feel comfortable treating her here". My dog was barking at her. Just barking. She is a 50 pound border collie mix, scared and misbehaving but not threatening. I had never felt more disrespected in my life. As I write this I realize that they at no time asked me a single question about my dog, not reception, vet techs or veterinarian. I would not recommend bringing your dog here. I had heard great things so perhaps if you have a dog that is very comfortable with the vet they would be willing to help, I don't like to think they are all bad but they motivated me to write my first negative review.Read Less
