  We feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Justin Greep and the team at Westvets caring for our two cats, Mackie and Mia.

What sets Westvets apart is the way they treat Mackie and Mia - with the same love and compassion that we do, just like the important members of our family that they are.

When you love your pets as much as we do, finding a vet you truly trust means everything. With each visit, Dr. Greep has shown genuine compassion, kindness, and understanding.  He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to listen and explains things clearly, without feeling rushed.

We are so thankful for Dr. Greep and the entire Westvets team - they are clearly in this business because of their genuine love for animals.  Knowing our cats are in such caring and capable hands gives us tremendous peace of mind.

We highly recommend Westvets to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care with genuine compassion and heart.

  One of if not the best vet I’ve ever been to in my 30 years of owning animals. Very quick to see us, got us in the same day, upfront with costs, easy to talk to and non judgemental. Amazing staff.

  I seriously could not be happier with the folks here. They truly care and you can tell. They have worked SO hard to get my anxious pup to be comfortable there. I would not take my animals anywhere else!!

  West Vets is the type of place where you know your pet is surrounded by staff that love animals. From the lovely receptionists to all the caring vet assistants to the expert veterinarians, this place is filled with people who care. Dr. Geers took the time to fully explain the situation when I had to rush my puppy in. He is one of those amazing doctors that explains what is happening, the options available and his expertise opinion. He never forced a decision, explained the costs before proceeding and truly had our puppy’s health as his first priority. If you want a place where you feel that you can fully trust with your four legged family members, West Vets is it.

  Amazing!!! I brought my Cane Corso; just over a year old in to get her weighed and some meds to make her drowsy (she won't let anyone cut her nails while alert and awake) They were super friendly and patient with her even though she won't let anyone give her commands without me there. They gave it the college try before calling me to take her. Amazing staff, great clean clinic and very aware of all animals going in and out of the lobby (to prevent any interactions with reactive animals while we were there). 10000% recommend them to all pet lovers.

  Dr. Greep is the best vet ever and the reason I go to this clinic! He is a good person, he does not push unnecessary procedures, communicates clearly, and the only guy my cat will tolerate! He is accountable and honest, and wants the best for people's pets.
