What Your Neighbors Are Saying About EVCC Westville
“We visited this care center for the very first time today and must commend them for the excellent care our pup Emerson received. They were thorough, very up front on costs of care and were able to rule out some of the scarier issues that could have been going on.
Our boy was treated very quickly and well. Highly recommend Dr Uriadko and her vet tech Olivia! So great to know this center is within an hour of our home."
Claudia S.
“Everyone was caring, knowledgeable and thorough. Despite being a busy emergency center, I felt well taken care of and given an abundance of time and focus for my dog's issue throughout the entire process from intake to hospitalization, updates and discharge.
I’m thankful to have a trusted place within reach when one of my dogs has an emergency.”
Viktoria T.
“Wonderful care for our pooch Flora, from the warm welcome at check-in, through diagnostic testing from the veterinary techs to the sensitive and skilled treatment approach from the vet.
A wonderful experience from start to finish. The obvious care for both the pets and their people was the difference-maker. I felt confident in the treatment plan because everyone we encountered was so sensitive, caring, and skilled.”
Christy P.
“The staff was kind, compassionate and quick! Dr was thorough and kind. Plan of care explained, and I felt that our cat was in the best of hands! Although the last place any pet owner wants to be is the Emergency Vet, I was relieved they are an available option at 2am! 5 Stars!!
P.S. Our cat Mow Mow is doing great!”
