We are still open! 😀 Being brought into the R Veterinary network means some business name changes will happen, but our doctors and staff are here for our clients for many years to come!!

A note from Dr. Patton:

It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the next step forward in the future of Westside Veterinary Clinic. We are now a part of the R Veterinary network of clinics!
This network will enable Westside to continue to offer outstanding veterinary care to our patients as well as the quality of service for our clients that we strive for. I want to assure our clients that myself, Dr. Brady and Dr. Poindexter as well as our terrific techs Josh, Anna, Rachel, Heather, Sophia and Samantha are here ready to help your beloved pets. Debbie, our head receptionist and Sheila, our manager, continue as our anchors - keeping us on track! Boarding and Dog Day Care remain under the direction of Disney Dad, David, with Lexi and Macey providing a warm and loving place for pets to stay while away from home. As always, the Pet Blessing will happen in October. This year’s Pet Blessing is October 11 at 2pm.
Since I began my career here in 1991 the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to grow under the mentorship of Dr. Lynn Shively and the many fantastic pets who helped me learn the practice of veterinary medicine. I am grateful to be able to continue to serve the Lord with opportunities to enrich the lives of pets and the people who love them as a part of R Veterinary in the years to come.
