They seem to think their posted hours are a suggestion. I've had to wait anywhere from 30min - 1.5 hours for them to decide to open. They have a terrible location for picking up your pets in the evening. They give you an estimate like, your pets should be finished by 2pm, then call and tell you it's now 5pm when it's nearly impossible to get there. Fortunately for me, I've managed to make it there every time, but i expect that if i didn't they'd charge me for having to keep them over night. Unless you have a completely elastic schedule that you can tailor around when this vet decides to do the work you are paying them for don't bother.

I love WHC. I have been taking my cats there for many years and I have never had a bad experience. Yes, it is a more costly, however I believe my cats receive more knowledgeable care and they are not exposed to dogs or other animals when I need to bring them in. Further, Dr. Kent has been kind enough to work with me financially when necessary. The staff there is very helpful and WHC does its best to help out with the treatment of stray and feral cats.

I won a raffle for a free exam from Westside Hospital for Cats and consequently I took my 2 year old male cat for a check-up. The doctor seemed quite thorough - she noted my boy's severe gingivitis/stomatitis and recommended his molars be pulled. The staff was very helpful, too. However, due to the enormous cost of the Westside Hospital for Cats, I had my boy's molars pulled at another facility. Thus, while I recommend the vet, the prices are way out of line with other equally good vets in the area.

I don't know about the other's experience, but I certainly love WESTSIDE. They've always taken great care of me and my cat - as well they clearly love and respect the animals under their care. These reviews seem to draw out the worst in people. WESTSIDE is excellent I've been going to them since 2000 - in fact when they put down my first cat they were very sweet and supportive.

I love Westside Hospital for Cats. I originally brought my first cat here in early 2009 because he was terrified of dogs, and I liked the "all-cat" approach. I now have four cats and I bring them all to Westside Hospital for Cats. The staff is friendly, competent, and provide high quality care. It is more expensive than other places, but I think it's worth the investment to have such personal attention and knowledgeable caregivers. I have had multiple problems with the recordkeeping system, particularly a vet not reviewing history before a complicated surgery that then resulted in a second surgery. While the surgeries themselves turned out very well and my cat recovered beautifully, it was stressful for me and my cat to endure two surgeries when it could've been handled once if the vet had been more attentive to the cat's history. All in all I continue to go to WHC because I believe they are the best possible option... as long as I can afford to, that's where I'll take my four furbabies! (Squirrel, Babycat, Yoshi, and Annie)
