A few weeks back I brought my cat, Luna, to VCA Westmoreland Animal Hospital. Based on my experience, I will most certainly be returning to them in the future, and would highly recommend them for your animal care needs.
I had discovered blood in my cat's urine late in the afternoon, and I was wanting to get him seen as soon as possible, as he has had urinary problems in the past. Before this had happened, I had been looking into switching vets, and Westmoreland had been on the recommended list. So I gave them a call.
Their reception staff was incredibly patient with me, as I was admittedly a bit panicked, and managed to get me in immediately. I can't say enough to this. As someone who's worked in the customer service industry for a long time, I know how difficult it can be to have a customer standing in front of you, wanting all the answers in the world, who is also emotionally compromised. Jocelyne and the reception staff handled this with the upmost professionalism, and made me feel more at ease, despite the situation.
I had told them about his previous issues, and they called his former vet to get his records. Despite being squeezed into the schedule, we didn't have to wait long. We met with the vet tech, and then Dr. Rutherford.
Her bedside manner was incredible. She was very patient with Luna (and myself. Let's be honest here, it can be even more challenging to deal with the pet owners than the pets) and genuinely seemed to care about his well-being. Based on what they found, she and her assistant came up with a plan for me.
And let me stress this, they broke down the importance of what needed to be done, and what could wait. They were conscious of my budget restrictions, and were honest about what needed to be addressed now. We came up with a plan that everyone felt comfortable with.
When it came time to pay, Tito was incredibly helpful. As in most cases, this wasn't an expense I was able to perceive. So, I had to split the payment up between physical cash, and a number of cards. Which got me a bit flustered. Tito was patient and got me taken care of.
I'm happy to say Luna is doing wonderfully, and he and his siblings will most certainly be going to VCA Westmoreland Animal Hospital for any future care. Read Less
