Report
We changed to this vet based on the reviews, and we were not disappointed. We didn't quite make it back from Raleigh to make our appointment, about fifteen minutes late, but they worked us back in anyways. I found them to be friendly, professional, the environment was pleasant, but small. They stated they were moving to a bigger location soon. They accomodated us where our GSD Tara is a little nervous of crowds and strange dogs and people. The vet was very informative and gave Tara great care. We had medications for her and a skin cleansing regime, and the price was 2/3 cheaper than the previous

My yellow lab, Miles ToGo, has had both his ACL's done by Dr. Hernandez at Westchester Vet Hospital. Dr. Hernandez from day 1 has been such a blessing to us as I worried so much about my active yellow lab. The whole staff there know the dogs and genuinely care about you and your pup. I drive 40 minutes one way and do not mind the drive one bit because I know Miles Togo will receive exceptional service. He loves greeting all of the staff there and goes to the back without looking back in my direction. That is the way a vet hospital should be. Thank you, Westchester Vet for being simply the best

What a great place to bring your dog whether he's feeling good or bad they make him feel better when he's done.
