What recent reviews say

Most reviews come from business partners and employees praising the company's management structure and care ethos. However, pet owners report deteriorating service after Western Veterinary Partners acquired local clinics, citing lost records, spam email, and unprofessional follow-up that undermine the quality experience advertised.

Recent shift: Five-star reviews from 2021–2 years ago predominantly mention partnership quality and employee culture; recent one and two-star reviews from 2–3 months ago describe deteriorating pet owner experience after acquisition, with complaints about communication loss and email spam now prominent

  • investment and partnership quality
  • organized management teams
  • animal care commitment
  • professional operations
Watch-outs
  • communication breakdown after acquisitions

Goodheart Animal Health Center

Goodheart earns consistent trust across all visit types. Patients describe staff who listen fully, answer questions without rushing, and take time with anxious or complex cases. Reviewers particularly praise Dr. Spring, Dr. Court, Dr. Moreman, Dr. Porta, and Dr. Katz for surgical skill and compassion, including handling of older pets and end-of-life care. The clinic's design reflects care: separate cat and dog spaces, custom whiteboards in exam rooms to track all concerns, treat menus, and a calm room for sensitive animals. Pricing runs higher than some alternatives, but reviewers consistently say the attention and expertise justify the cost. The team sends updates, writes thank-you cards, and treats each pet like family.
