What recent reviews say

Western Veterinary Partners runs multiple clinics across the US and draws strong praise from business partners and employees for leadership, organization, and animal care values. However, patients report the company stopped communicating about pet health after acquiring local practices, sends excessive email spam, and some acquired clinics struggle with appointment cancellations and staff retention.

Recent shift: recent reviews (past 2 months) express frustration with communication and record-keeping at acquired clinics, contrasting sharply with earlier praise of facilities and care standards

  • genuine care for animals and employees
  • professional and organized operations
Watch-outs
  • poor record-keeping and pet communication after acquisition

Goodheart earns trust through vets who listen, ask questions, and take time with every pet regardless of age or behavior. Staff note concerns on whiteboards, answer all questions thoroughly, and follow up after visits with warmth that feels genuine rather than routine. Surgical services under Dr. Moreman, Dr. Spring, and Dr. Porta handle complex cases (geriatric mass removal, dental extractions, cyst surgery) with confidence. Fear-Free handling shines with nervous pets. End-of-life care includes paw prints and ashes. Some prices run high, but reviewers say the attentiveness and compassion justify the cost.
