I can’t say enough good things about this veterinary service. We had a vet emergency, unfortunately it was late at night on a Saturday. We texted the emergency number for our local vet as instructed to do via their answering service, but they did not return our text. I was desperate and getting nowhere. I called Dr. Ward and left a voicemail, she called me back within minutes. She gave advice over the phone for the situation and said she would have a vet tech at the clinic the next morning by 8:30 AM. Dr. Ward was very knowledgeable, friendly, and told us to call her if anything changed in then night. I think it speaks of someone’s character, commitment to their career, and above all their love of animals when they return your call and your animal is not even their patient.
I recently took my furry friend to Ward Veterinary Services and was incredibly impressed with the care and attention that both my pet and I received. From the moment we walked in the door, the staff was welcoming and made us feel right at home. Dr. Ward who examined my pet was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. Ward Veterinary has a genuine love and passion for animals, and it showed in the way they interacted with my furry friend.
