I've had nothing but great experience at Winslow Park with vets and staff. I usually see Dr. Dave who is phenomenal. He is both personable and bright which makes for an excellent clinician. Moreover, he is extremely reasonable in his approach to your pets' care. Most highly recommended.

Moved to the area a few months ago with a 6 month old puppy and desperately needed to find a new vet. Tried so many places that weren't accepting new customers because of the pandemic, but Winslow Park was extremely accommodating and was able to accept us and schedule an appointment the same day. Every time we've needed to make an appointment they are always extremely accommodating and understanding and I can usually get in right away. The staff here is always so friendly and knowledgeable. They even helped our puppy find the right food to solve his stomach problems. I'm so grateful

They were able to see my pet next day, and despite COVID restrictions the wait time was minimal, the staff friendly and the whole experience better than expected.

We saw Dr. Shin and team for an emergency with our doodle dog Truly (she spit up blood). They agreed to see us right before closing even though they could've sent us to the 24-hour emergency vet. They are all very caring, empathetic and knowledgeable. A course of meds and new food has her back in shape. Highly recommend.

The vet found that my dog had Lyme disease even though she had no symptoms. My previous vet in Illinois had not tested for this despite knowing we had tick problems. This vet practice was very friendly and thorough with us as new customers who just moved here.

My elderly dog was in the best hands with Dr. Santisi at Winslow! She got a series of laser therapy treatments that really helped her hips and over all arthritis!! The laser paired with an NSAID has her feeling years younger and jumping up the stairs again!!! Great service and top notch medicine!!
