Nothing but good experiences here with my mice. They answer all my questions and have a very positive attitude! The doctor was very informative and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. Absolutely wonderful customer service. I would recommend RWAH to anyone looking for a small animal vet.

The staff here is great! I take both of my dogs and my cat here for care. I've gone for routine check ups, and for sick visits. All visits have been great. They are by appointment, so every time I get plenty of time and attention for my fur babies. (But I know they do non-scheduled too if you need quick care if something is wrong) My 3 year old pup hates the vets office. I think it's because he was a pound puppy that was returned 3 times, and every time he had to get a check up.. but the staff here keeps him very comfortable and that means the world to me. All 3 of my loves are comfortable here, and they are treated with respect, and so am I. I truly appreciate the kind care they give here, and will definitely return whenever needed. Thank you to everyone here who takes care of my Tony, Emma, and Yeti! Read Less

If you are looking for well-educated, knowledgeable and friendly staff from the front desk to the vet tech to the veterinarian, this is the place for you. It you like the vet to spend time with you and explain all the how’s and why’s of the treatment plan you cannot beat Ridglea West Animal Hospital. I have been searching for a new vet after my lifetime vet retired and I most certainly found my new vet. I’m telling you, you cannot beat this place and that includes low cost as well! Read Less

The staff was very friendly and kind, and I got in for my birdie the same day I called. I loved my bird so much, and spent hours every day to try to keep him happy. but the vet treated me like I let him get sick through purposeful neglect. To add insult to injury, when the vet called me to tell me my boy passed away, he referred to him as a "she" the whole call. Even though everyone but the vet was exceptional, overall it was a horrible experience on top of the pain of losing my baby. Read Less

We have some feeder bin rat babies that have been fighting URI since we got them. Yogurt, my boy rat is doing good and is finally off his medicine but my girl Princess Peach has had a few set backs. I truly believe this vet and staff is the reason she has made it this far. We have a weekly visit for her at the moment and I have had to call outside of those visits for help or to ask questions as I am new to pet rats. I am so greatful we found this Clinic because they have been nothing less than amazing. Read Less

Called at 3:30pm and they found a way to squeeze me in. Vet was patient and took his time doing the exam. Oh and I forgot to mention I took my Miligold Macaw to him. So if you need a vet for your parrot he is a good one to go to... Read Less

We moved to the area and can across them in an emergency! We couldn't have found a better vet! They take great care with animals and work with you. They explained all my options in detail and guided me through a recovery plan. I can't rate these guys high enough!!!Read Less

I've been here both for injuries and well visits and both are both much easier experiences than other places I've been to. They are caring towards both humans and animals and very friendly. I am willing to make a slightly longer drive than my previous vet because of the great people here. Definitely a great team! Read Less

Everyone at Ridglea West Animal Hospital are so helpful and caring. Doc does a great job at being straightforward about my animals needs and treating them well. I appreciate all that y'all do for my pets! Read Less

I have been in Rescue for a number of years and have met many Veterinarians along the way. After using Dr. Verwers ONE time, I knew I would never go to another Vet. Not only is he a honest Christian man but his love for your animal is seen / felt immediately. Barbara at the front desk is super kind and gets me in very quickly. From Parvo to Giardia, I have used him for all my dogs and rescue dogs. I am very picky, overly pro dog and cannot come up with one single complaint on anything he has ever done. I highly respect that Dr. Verwers fees are very affordable and he could charge more but does not ! I feel confident that once you step through this door, you will never go anywhere else. Read Less

I went to day of yesterday to get my puppies tail docked . I just had the worst experience here ! The doctor had to do a pet exam on the mother of the pups and she growled at him . And I said to my "dog settle down " he says to me in a high tone of voice "why don't you say no " I said "ok" She growled again and i said to my dog Delila settle down " and again my dog had a muzzle on her . And the doctor say to me In a aggressive form " say no to her " and I said "this is my dog and I treat her how I want , plus he doesn't pay anything for my dog to tell me how to treat her . It's not like I'm going for free to the clinic . It's like he brings his house problems to the job ! Or Raciest because I'm from Hispanic heritage . After I had told him that he pushed forward the box of puppies , like really ? And he said "take your puppies somewhere else than " ! just so disgusted on how he treats animals listen to this his very own words the doctor said ,,, HE TOLD ONE OF THE TECHS " Get ONE OF THOSE THINGS UP HERE " he referred "things " to a newborn puppy . These people hate animals . It's also sad how the text were apologizing for the doctors actions very very sad I don't not recommend this place for your four Legged friends . Check the yelp reviews ! Sad !Read Less

Always a great experience there. The staff is extremely professional and courteous and always willing to squeeze me in if necessary. I definitely recommend Ridglea West Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a vet, you will not be disappointed. Read Less

I love this place! The staff are nice and helpful. They actually listen to what is going on with your pet and they show that they care. I don't go in very often, only when my pets aren't well and they remember each of my cats that have been brought in. The Vet himself is very knowledgeable and confident. He doesn't try to sell you crap that you don't need and is truly concerned about your pets well-being and health. He is patient and explains his diagnosis and helps educate on how to be a better pet parent. Some may not like that, but I think it's wonderful because it's all about the health and well-being of the animals and we don't always do what's best for our pets, even when we think we are! I haven't gone anywhere else since I found this place and don't plan on it, either. I've recommended this place to a friend who needed a vet and she also loved how they operate! Thanks to the staff and vet!Read Less

I've had a great deal of rescues, this guy is the best at treating animals and keeping them alive and getting them better.  Whiny humans, like many of us (probably not so much).  He saved me 3k this year another vet wanted to charge me.  I came to him for a surgery the dog didn't need.  I bring him all my hard to treat cases just because it's a long drive; however, I have a vet in town who will pray with you and love on you and your pet, misdiagnose them and be with you when she puts them down.This guy saves animals lives, lengthens their lives, and makes them healthy.  When I'm looking at a very sick pet, I want Dr House, not warm fuzzy Dr. Death who has no idea what they are doing (he's much friendlier than House).***I first found this vet in 2007 right before I left for NYC and have now returned in 2016. I had been to vets for two years trying to get a diagnosis for my miniature schnauzer, Suzie.  She had ghastly breath and was hand shy if you scratched her beneath the chin.  I had her teeth cleaned every six months and her teeth looked great.  I was repeatedly told by 7 different vets she was hand shy because she was a rescue.  Except she was only hand shy if I touched her physically; I talked to trainers ad nauseam and found this not to be true.I tried this vet at Ridglea West.Gave him the same spiel.  He said, "Let's take X-Rays.  Sometimes it can look normal from the gum line, but be unhealthy below."Numerous abscessed teeth.  I had been feeding my dog hard dog food and she had been eating it in excruciating pain for a year and a half, because no other vet thought to take an X-Ray!He removed numerous teeth and she was fine.I also bought a red-footed tortoise shortly before my move to NYC.  I didn't know he was sick when I bought him, but he had an upper respiratory infection.  It was touch and go and I had to give him injections.  But the vet managed to save my baby 200.00 tortoise who was a gift to my wife and we had just grown attached too.  He's still doing great.During my seven years in NYC, Suzie had to have a surgery that was emergent.  It was 4K in NYC, and I never spared expense on any of my dogs if they could be saved and lead a comfortable healthy life after; however, this vet was as good as the high end vets in NYC.  I called their office to find out how much the surgery was in Texas.  They said it was expensive...1,200.So, my wife got the vacay she wanted to visit family, my dog got the surgery she needed all for less than for 4K, and the surgery went without a hitch (as I knew it would).When I returned to Texas 7 years later I was in an outlying region and Fort Worth was a trek.  I had to new rescues.  My other two had succumbed to kidney failure and cancer (after beating it twice).The local vet recommended having a molar removed and the anal sacks of one of my dogs, Houndini.  3k in surgery.First of all, I was only going to let one vet do dental work (Ridglea West) on my dog and get a second opinion on the anal gland surgery.I went to Riglea West even though it was a drive, but I wasn't feeling the expertise I got in NYC or at Riglea West.Turns out, my dog doesn't need it's tooth removed, and an anal sack surgery could be catastrophic even for a young healthy dog like mine even dangerous!People complain this vet isn't warm and fuzzy.Eh-hem.My first vet in the local town I live in is very warm and fuzzy.  They are very Christian and advertise by it.  They will even pray with you.  Trouble is they misdiagnose, misunderstand, and they are not very good IMHO.  But you can get all the warm fuzzies you want as they put your dog down.Second vet I went to see I like; however, he would have cost me money in unnecessary surgeries and didn't warn me of the dangers of the surgeries he wanted to perform, but he's a really affable guy.Or you can go to this really great vet.  Think of him as Dr. House.  You want your pet to live?  Yes, he will tell you if your pet is overweight and how you should better take care of it, because pets that are not overweight live two years longer. (This should be a bonus.)So I can go see happy, fun, great, personable vets that will take my money or kill my pet and pray with me and make me feel great.Or I can go to the one that will keep my pet healthy, keep my pocket book healthy, and tell me how to better take care of my pet.It's your choice.Happy fun vet with a pet that could die young or have unnecessary surgeries and/or pray with you, you can find those anywhere.I'll take this one that is as competent as any vet in the AMC (top Animal Hospital in NYC where people come from states around to be seen by any of them to keep their pet alive).  By they way, they aren't snugly either and they are 10x the price.I love my pet, more than my ego stroked.

I have been going to Ridglea West Animal Hospital for a few months now for my pet rat, and the doctor and the assistants have been very helpful, sweet, and caring towards me and my animal. They check up on her, and ask questions about her, and are always friendly with us. It is always a pleasant experience with them. Read Less

We brought our pug in, due to numerous seizures, and lost the ability to walk, we had to put him down. The vet had The worst bedside manner of any dr, for pets or humans that I have ever witnessed. My teenage daughter was visibly upset about putting her baby down, and this jerk treated us like crap.  I cannot understand how anyone could be so cold and callous. Listen folks, this was a heartbreaking experience, but he made it ten times worse. I would be happy to further my experience to anyone who wants more info, but the just is this...... There are a bunch of good vets, do not Waste your time or your pets well being here. Read Less

Worst Vet I've been to. In the ghetto, place is tiny. Staff were wearing street clothes. My dog was sick from kennel cough and had just gotten spayed. One of the workers flipped her over harshly and hit her incision even though we told her before to watch it. They did not explain things well and had very bad bed side manner. The vet himself was cold, short, rude. Also flipped our dog over on her side much more harshly than he should of. I had to ask multiple questions to get answers because they wouldn't explain things to us. Never using this Vet again- VERY unprofessional. Read Less

Love this animal hospital! Our two dogs have been clients for years and I have always had a good experience with the doctors and nurses. From check ups, to medical situations, to medications, the staff are professional and friendly. Would recommend this clinic to my friends and family. Read Less

I have been using Dr. Verwers for 4 years now for our Birds, he is very Knowledgeable, the whole staff is caring and takes the time to get to know you and your pet. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor to anyone for any pet. Thank you for all you help with Kiwi and Elliott Read Less

Dr. Verwers is great - knowledgeable and funny. Particularly fantastic if you have a pet with particular / special needs. I always felt I was part of his team in terms of caring for our cat. Staff are also fantastic - they knew every single member of our family by name (thank you, Barb!). That's just an example of how wonderful they are. Read Less

I have been a client of Dr. Verwars for over thirty-two years. I consider him a pediatrician. Over the years I have had many dogs. He specializes in preventative medicine in order to ensure that my dogs live long and very healthy lives. All of my dogs (several of which were large) have experienced longevity coupled with excellent health. He stays educated on new treatments and products that have assisted in the goal of healthy living. I trust him with the lives of my beloved dogs. I would highly recommend him to everybody. Read Less

I brought my dog here a couple months ago when I moved to the area. The staff was nice but couldn't remember what kind of dog I had. But I wouldn't visit this animal hospital ever again because of the Dr. He talked to me like I'm an idiot, told me my pup was fat (she is actually a little underweight for her breed), then lectured me about how women shouldn't try to look like the celebrities they see on tv because they pay people to make them skinny. What the hell? In my opinion, that was completely uncalled for and unprofessional.When giving her an injection, he was very rough, then complained that she had a reaction to it. I would have a reaction if someone just jabbed me with a needle too! She never had a problem receiving shots before, but when she received too last week, she showed signs of extreme stress.The bill for this one visit was outrageous as well. Definitely won't be returning here. Read Less

When I called, the lady that answered the phone had no clue!  I had to wait until she finished her conversation with whomever she was talking to in the office before she even gave me the time of day!  Then she wouldn't even entertain the thought of seeing our pet!  I was given the number of an animal hospital in Burleson!  Way too far for us here in White Settlement.  The fact that our pet not much longer for this world had no affect on her whatsoever!   Our poor rattie will not be getting treatment here for sure!!!!   DO NOT EVEN CALL THESE PEOPLE!!!!

One of the best clinics I've ever been too! Passing through (non local) with a senior dog who wasn't acting himself, found the closest vet on Google to my route and walked in with no appointment. They explained they were short one vet this particular morning and werent sure they could squeeze him in, but asked me to wait a few moments to see what they could do. Few minutes later my pup was getting treats, loved on by friendly staff, and a thorough examination, including blood work started. Pills were discussed, and the vet took at least 10 minutes explaining pros/cons of medication he recommended, along with 1st hand success stories to put my mind at ease. Thoroughly explained every single result on the blood work, and what each column was testing. Left absolutely assured in their knowledge of current treatment procedures, facilities, and friendliness. I travel full time and have been in hundreds of veterinary centers. ..Ridglea is one of the best in my opinion. Thank you! Read Less

Dr. Verwers and his staff are wonderful. Three years ago our Shi Tzu was very sick, another vet told us she had Meningitis and would need chemotherapy. We knew she would not survive the treatments. On Christmas Eve we called Dr. Verwers and they told us to bring her in. After examining her and referring to blood test taken by her previous vet in a very short time he determined she was severely dehydrated and her kidneys were not functioning well. He sent us home with fluids we administered to her daily and put her on a prescription diet. We are so happy and thankful she is doing so well. We also had a cat we rescued that we needed to find a home for and he and his staff took wonderful care of her and assisted in finding a home for her. We cannot say enough about how grateful we are for the amazing care we receive for our pets from Dr. Verwers and his staff. Read Less

1st time I bought Abby here and to my surprise she was friendly and happy to be there with the staff, this was a shock as she is not friendly at all..took special care of her and was very professional and friendly..why didn't i come here sooner?!! I won't ever go anywhere else now..they take the time to discuss the care plan and always give you other options and their Top priority is your fur baby...I highly recommend them 5 stars Read Less

Dr. V is great. Very gentle with all my animals. He will tell you if your animal needs a procedure he has not done in a long time and will recommend a more skilled vet if needed. I trust him and his excellent staff completely. Read Less

I have been taking my dogs to Doctor Verwers for over a decade. He has always provided excellent care for my pups, and has always been fair with the bill. He and his staff are compassionate and have great bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr Verwers. Read Less

Attention all pet owners! This is the clinic Boss had his procedure done at. Not only is the best staff working there but the Doc is amazing! It's great to have a vet that will not be nervous about Boss but on top of that, know what needs to be done with as little invasive gestures as possible, Dr Verwers is seriously talented and great with previously abused dogs. This clinic and the staff is just spot on. They get to know you and your pet, not only that but they also saw my rats and soon to be my ferrets! I strongly and gladly recommend this clinic for your fur baby! The procedure on Boss went so well and the cost is REASONABLE! It's so outstanding knowing I can afford to take my pets in and not having to worry about your mainstream clinics charging $100 just for an exam. I will never for as long as I remain in Ft Worth will never change vets. Best DVM and staff EVER!Read Less

You will notice when you walk in the love and concern they have for your pet. I have dogs, cats and macaw. Dr. Verwer can treat them all. They have the staff and technology to basic care to major surgery. All my pets want to say thank you and we love you all Read Less

Dr. Verwers and staff have seen two rabbits and one rooster. One rabbit has cataracts and glaucoma. He referred. Me to veterinary eye specialist who is now treating her for the condition. They checked her over while she was there and found ear mites and prescribed the appropriate treatment. I had to bring her back again for a growth on her foot. He advised treatments I could do at home along with meds and it cleared up completely. A second, unrelated bunny also had a growth on the same foot, but at home treatment wasn't sufficient. He did laser surgery to remove it. I watched the procedure and was pleased with the care they took with anesthesia and surgery. They watched her vitals throughout the procedure making sure she wasn't in pain or overdosed. The bunny did great and was eating and drinking right away and her foot healed completely. I have gotten quite a bit of instruction and advice from the doctor, his wife and staff, all priceless. I had to bring in a rooster for a foot injury/disease and he sent me home with appropriate meds and instructions on how to care for him.Read Less

The staff was wonderful. "Dr." Verwers on the other hand didn't do a full exam and then misdiagnosed my animal and suggested that I give her enough fluids that would have put her in cardiac arrest. He even turned his back on me and said this would be a one time visit and he didn't want me back. After I went to my regular vet I questioned his bill. After 3 calls he finally called me back and rudely and unprofessionally stated that he should charge me $90 for reading her previous records and that he could go ahead and charge me $300/hr because that is what his time is worth. He should take his $300/hr and get educated on bedside manner. Read Less

I wish I had read reviews before I went.  The staff was nice but the vet had zero bedside manner to my dog.  He was abrupt with the staff and not gentle with my dog who suffers from arthritis.  When he gave the injections he jabbed the needles in.  He spoke down to me like I was a moron. Read Less

This Vet has absolutely no bedside manner.  I took my sick guinea pig to end her suffering, so he brought her body back to me (the box she was in had a couple of bloody finger prints on it) and nonchalantly said, "She went before I even pricked her."  I've also been bringing one of my dogs here for quite some time.  2 years ago she developed anfatty cyst on her chest.  After a while I got concerned as to it's texture and size growing vastly.  I decided to get a second opinion.  Good thing I did, she had a stage 1 soft tissue sarcoma removed.  It was indeed cancer.  Luckily, the doctor got every last bit.  She is now in recovery.  The "vet" at Ridglea Animal Hospital WILL NEVER touch my dog again!  I see this man as someone who is either completely numb to the feelings and health of his patience, or has lost all passion for animals.  Either way, IT'S TIME TO RETIRE BUDDY.

Great Staff, Great Dr... I was very pleased to have taken my bird to see Dr Craig Verwers.  His staff from the front to the back were very knowledgeable and respectful.. Did not take much time with a scheduled appointment to be seen by the Dr there.  Once I was in the room and the Dr came in he made me feel very comfortable and answered any and all of my questions.. When I left there I felt I knew more than when I made the appointment.. Thanks to the staff and the Dr.. Will be taking my other pets there as well.. My bird is doing great.. Read Less

I went here with my gecko for a checkup after I inherited him when my mother suddenly passed.  The staff here was extremely kind and very knowledgeable.  Dr. Verwers was very knowledgeable and even gave me a bit of a walkthrough on a few tips to care for my gecko.  He was very hands on and provided a guide to show me the reason why I would need to go through certain steps rather than just telling me that it has to be done. Read Less

The rudest front desk staff and vet. I had used this place a while back because the vet is listed as exotic. He seemed baffled by my leopard gecko, very rude and short with me and just generally a complete a**hole. Never, EVER coming back here. Read Less

:: previous review :: The staff is knowledgeable, I felt comfortable with the diagnosis and opinions - but they are really expensive. We all love our pets, but call around before emptying your wallet here.:: EDIT ::  it was a pricing mistake! They called me today and explained that it was the price of the medication that was wrong and would be mailing me a check today. Really impressed they took the time to discuss the issue and make it right the very next day. Fantastic service. Read Less

The staff is very friendly.  I have never felt uneasy with my cat bring brought here.  My cat did develop a tumor due to the rabies vaccine, but it was not Dr. Verwers fault, supposed to be low odds of developing a tumor from this, but my last 2 cats have developed them (different vets).  I credit Dr. Verwers for great surgical job he performed removing the tumor.  It turned out not to be cancerous, she healed quickly and it has not bothered her since, almost 2 years now.  Have recommended family and friends to these guys and are happy with the level of service provided.
