Dr. Whitlow was very upfront, l thought my baby had a fatty cist, l was shocked to learn it was cancer. She had two small tumors removed, when l seen the incestions l thought the worst. But l had faith in him. It was the frist time l met him l always seen Dr. Cotton. I didn't leave the clinic he let me stay. When she was waking up he let me go back and be with her.

I knew in my heart with his knowledge and My lord she would be alright. Although waiting for the results did make me have a bit of worry. But he removed it all! He saved my baby girl. I give Dr. Whitlow more than stars l give him my warmest thank you. He is the best and his staff is so loving and caring. If you want the best for your pets you must go to the best.

Best care in the tri cities. Always willing to answer questions & talk about concerns. You never feel like you are being rushed away. I have 12 animals & they love all the staff as much as I do. Dr. Cotton, Kandace & Jovita are top notch in their field.

This over protective, obsessive mother to a 10+ yr old blind chihuahua is so very thankful everyday for Dr. Cotton & her amazing staff! My Maya loves them and they love her right back! I have and will continue to recommend Woodward Ave Animal Clinic to all my fur-baby moms & dads. Sincerely, Maya's mom (Lisa)

Dr. Cotton and her staff are professional and very friendly. They've taken care of all of our veterinary needs for years and we've recommended them to friends and family.

Ask an employee that worked for Dr. Cotton. She always greeted her staff with a cheerful good morning. She would giggle and laugh with us and when things got serious, she was on it and so were we. We shed many a tear when one crossed over the rainbow bridge. She always treated her staff as peers and not just employees and she loved everyone that came into the office and she had a gentle hand and voice. Working for Dr. Cotton was a pleasure. We became family and watching her children was a joy as well as being around her parents. I continue to wish her the very best.
