Reviews By Our Satisfied Clients
"This summer it became obvious that we needed to the large benign tumor on our 10-year-old miniature
schnauzer Wolfgang's chest removed: it was nearly the
size of a baseball! Because of Wolf's age and nervous
temperament, we were extremely worried about the
surgery. But Dr. Evans and his staff did a wonderful job:
no complications, great follow-up care, and Wolfgang
acts like a puppy again!
Thank you, West Mountain Veterinary Hospital!"
