Report
This has nothing to do with care they provide. However while my daughter was getting on the bus one of their vehicles drove around the bus which had flashing lights on. The road in this spot is also slightly inclined (hill) and so is no passing zone. Poor advertising for them when they are going around buses loading kids.

I have had WECH as my Vet Clinic for about 14 years and even though my horse is not a Show Horse he is treated with the best quality of care! I feel a personal connection to all of the vets I have contact with and appreciate when they come out in a very timely manner in an urgent situation, even though the clinic is about 30 miles from my barn! My horse is on the Wellness Program, which I find wonderful because it covers all Spring and Fall routine care which comes out monthly, so I can budget it easier!

They did a great job on taking care of my mare when she was getting her eye examined and explaining to me what they found and what they were giving her. Thank you

I have used this clinic several times and their professionalism is outstanding. The vets that I have had the pleasure of dealing with have been phenomenal and provided stellar care for my mares. This kind of quality care does come with a price but that is to be expected and I have not been let down yet. They give an estimate and stick to it unless they update you otherwise. I felt included in the critical care of my mare and and I am thrilled she was able to come back home.

They have been my outstanding vet for 16 horses and ponies over 13 years. They spend the extra time needed and are so on top of their science and alternatives. They impart useful information constantly through their newsletter as well as their new series of on site (clinic) Wisdom Wednesdays. Can't say enough about them!

I have used this clinic for many years, every vet I have ever had come out, has treated my horse and myself with the greatest care! He is not an expensive show horse, but they treat him as if he was! I trust them when I need advice and someone is always available for consultation!
