West Lynn Veterinary Clinic

4.7(210)✓ Google-verified

West Lynn has earned strong loyalty over decades by treating pets and owners as partners in care. Recent reviews highlight Dr. Ashbaugh, Dr. Whitworth, Dr. Noorani, and staff who explain complex conditions, answer questions promptly, and prioritize anxious or senior pets. The clinic schedules appointments via text, keeps records across multiple visits, and staff remember animals by name over years of care. One recent complaint about prescription refusals stands apart from the otherwise consistent praise. Fear Free certified, they offer wellness exams, preventative medicine, dental work, spay and neuter, soft tissue surgery, in-house lab, and pharmacy on site. Clients note that when medications are available elsewhere, staff help find cost-effective options. The team responds quickly to urgent situations and seniors needing ongoing quality-of-life support.

Every recent reviewer reports five-star care. Staff like Jan, Zack, and veterinarians Dr. Savageau and Dr. Pankonien spend time with each pet and explain medical decisions plainly, earning loyalty from long-term owners and families navigating senior pets or emergencies alike. The clinic's AAHA accreditation reflects its full surgery, dentistry, ultrasound, and lab capabilities. Same-day and emergency slots remain available; one reviewer with a 16-year-old cat got urgent care and extended treatment options instead of immediate euthanasia. Clients note clean facilities, quick appointments, and staff who answer follow-up calls, building trust across puppy to end-of-life care.

Tarrytown Veterinary Clinic

Reviewers consistently report feeling cared for as people, not just pet owners, often noting vets who stay late to answer questions, call with updates during procedures, and treat decisions as partnership rather than instruction. Dr. Meynier and Dr. Jenkins lead a team known for sitting on floors during exams, explaining heart murmurs and tooth conditions hands-on, and managing anxious pets with treats and patience; the clinic operates in a renovated cottage-style space on Lake Austin Boulevard with ample parking and a calm aesthetic that sets it apart from typical veterinary hospitals.
