They are great. My parents took our pets there, and once I grew up, I took my pets there. Moved away and came back and love that we can continue to take our pets there. My fur babies love the staff there, too.

Always the best care to cats and dogs. Kind and loving to the animals and owners. We have been with them thru several pets. Smart and up to date on care. Our cats have been 16, 18 and 20 years old under their guidance. Our dog was 16. We have been together for 30 years now, wow, and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Amanda Jones and her staff (especially Jennifer who took my initial call) were wonderful! Franklin, our 10 year old, part Bengal cat, was stricken in the evening recently with something causing him considerable pain and limited mobility. It was clear from his periodic crying out that it was serious and we needed to take him to see a vet as soon as possible. We live in Mayville, NY (by Lake Chautauqua). However, the weather (snowing and high wind) made thinking of driving him to either Buffalo or Erie for emergency care out of the question. My wife comforted him through the night the best she could, and in the morning I got on the phone to locate a vet. Our regular vet near Jamestown couldn't see him. "Sorry, on vacation for three weeks," (probably in Florida). The vet in Westfield who had seen him when he was a year old and was mauled (we think by a groundhog) and suffered serious pelvic injury, couldn't see him for a day or two. These are the two closest, and both vets had seen him in the past, but for an emergency? I guess not. Then I started calling every vet (more than 20) in a radius of 50 miles, including every vet in Erie. By now it was getting to be early afternoon, none offered any help other than a few suggested the night emergency service in Erie or Buffalo. I was about to give up and wait for the Erie night emergency service and probably a long wait once I got there. The very last call (I was going systematically in a counter-clockwise search of the Erie/Northeast/Edinboro area) that I could make before running out of vets to call, was Wintergreen. By now I guess I sounded both fairly stressed and well resigned to what I was sure would be yet another no-go. But no! I got Jen on the line, explained what was going on, and she said "Wait a moment please." She was back almost immediately, and said "how long will it take you to get here." It was 2 pm. I said "in an hour." She said, "well come on, the vet can see you." I got there at exactly 3 pm. Julie was assisting Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones assured me that even if we went beyond closing time, she would stay to do what had to be done. Both were extremely kind, showing more genuine kindness than I've ever experienced at a vets. It turned out that Franklin seemed to have developed a blood clot in the bowel area, along with cardiac problems that even with surgery, he probably would have not made it. My wife had said before I left, that euthanasia might be the outcome. She was right (almost always is...), and Dr. Jones and Julie administered the lethal drugs with compassion. I can't thank Wintergreen enough for the compassion (and competence) they showed with Franklin, but also with me. From now on, I hope to make Wintergreen our new, and regular vet (the drive will be more than worth it!). Oh, and we also got a touching sympathy card from the staff at Wintergreen yesterday. I'm beginning to think that "above and beyond" might just be the normal there.

We take our animals here. Our one cat has had some health/mobility problems in the past, and the staff here has been very good with him and helped him get back to a good quality of life. He absolutely HATES going to the vet, and Wintergreen does everything they can to make him comfortable every time he does. Thank you!

As a lifelong pet owner I have learned to be discerning with where I choose to get my four-legged friends their necessary care. When my 8 week-old Rottweiler pup stopped eating and became rapidly and severely dehydrated I called all the vet shops in the area but due to the COVID crisis they were all booked up for a few days, days that my pup did not have. Wintergreen immediately heard what was going on and had my pup in within the half-hour and by the end of the day we had a reasonable grasp on the rare situation that she was in. Dr. Jones (their chief of staff) is by far the most caring vet I have ever encountered and went above and beyond to find the resources we needed at vet hospitals in nearby major cities. Destiny and the rest of their support staff have also been more helpful than i could imagine and we owe the life of our pup to them! Bring your furry friend here if you don't want to endure the constant stream of life-insurance or healthplan pitches that all the vets offices are turning into or if you want people who actually put the pet first.
