PWC is professional, friendly and are very passionate. I have been taking my cats to PWC for about 13 years and have had nothing but a caring experience.

My two cats were seen as new patients and the entire staff was extremely accommodating. I was shocked at the amount of time Dr. Globerman set aside for our first visit. She listened to my concerns and conducted a thorough exam on both felines. Ingrid, the office manager and cat behaviorist, met both cats and suggested ways to increase harmony in our home. We were sent home with food and medication resources that would never have been suggested by our previous veterinarian. I highly recommend PWC!

So glad I found this vet! Ive been looking for a cat only facility to take my two cats to after frustration with previous vets. Took one of my cats here the other day specifically for grooming and every moment about the appointment was a breath of fresh air. Even down to when vet tech who checked us in put music on for my kitty while he waited & gave him treats. Most other vets I've been to would of never thought to do this.

We saw Dr. Ingrid Johnson for my cats grooming appointment. She was super sweet and the whole time she was treating my cat there at the appointment, she also took interest In talking about my other cat at home and encouraged us to bring her in next time around. You can clearly tell this vet is well educated about how cats work and take pride in what they do. Clearly they don't treat cats like small dogs as what some other vets do, but assist them knowing their needs as they are not anywhere near how dogs behave. Will be returning and can't wait knowing I can finally feel relieved that I am taking my cats to a well trusted place.

Everyone at Dr Globerman's clinic is SO great. Dr. G is dedicated, knowledgable and caring. She has given us great care for our geriatric cat, new kittens, and adopted middle age cats. We've been there for many, many years and will continue even though we've moved further away.

There is no vet I've seen with deeper expertise on cats and care for her feline patients. We absolutely love Dr Globerman and her staff. Her medical care and lifestyle recommendations have been spot on. Worth a drive if you are not local. Your cats deserve it and so do you! Picture of happiest cat for reference.
