The entire staff at Park West Vet is outstanding! They always make our pets feel like VIPs when we walk through the door. The vets are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The amazing customer service and personalized approach set them apart from other practices. Our dogs are not huge fans of trips to the vet and one suffers from anxiety, so the fact that the staff are experts at the fear-free practice approach makes the whole experience a pleasure.

Dr. Schmidt and team are awesome. He really cares about our boys and takes time to answer every question we have. The boys love him and all the staff which makes it really easy to bring them to the vet. We don't feel rushed at the appointment. Everyone takes time to love on the pups and then give answers to all of our concerns.

Dr Butler and the staff of Park West are awesome. I left to go to a Facebook and Next Door vet who is less costly. Three visits and only one vet sighting but charged. You get what you pay for! My little guy gives me such love and pleasure so he DESERVES the best vet! Thanks Park West for your fantastic care!

Our experiences with Park West Vet have always been positive. They are caring, compassionate animal lovers who have taken the time to communicate thoroughly with us about our dogs' needs. We trust them with our babies! Their attention to, and compassion for, our dogs is what we appreciate most about them.

Wonderful first impression on our initial visit, from the moment I walked into the door and was warmly greeted and taken immediately to a room to the easy checkout process. Very considerate, detailed and non-rushed care from both the tech and the vet. I was provided with reasonable options on treatment approaches and costs. Had a great experience all around. The kind, caring attitude of the staff is what makes Park West stand out!

Park West is an incredible veterinary facility. Everyone is very friendly and responsive. We received not great news about our dog and we so appreciated the honesty and compassion from Dr. Schmidt. He took his time explaining everything and made sure all of our questions were answered.
