We have three cats that see Rachel, Dawn, and Dr. Houlihan. For those reviewers giving negative reviews because they can't be seen... human doctors are the same and can't accommodate every new patient immediately (especially if they're good). Why don't you book an appointment for the future, come in, and then leave a fair review? We had to continue seeing a vet we did not love until we could get our cats in here. Again, well worth the wait. They are accommodating, fair, and compassionate. I love the parking lot which is rare in Birmingham. The walk to the door is a few feet from your car. It's quiet inside (unless there is another verbal kitty patient). The techs and doctor sit on the cat's level (the floor). They really make them feel comfortable. More than one pet parent can be in the room which is important to us. You can even hold your kitty and take them back to get blood drawn or nails clipped. We never feel rushed or like a number here. Grateful to have our pets as patients here.

I just want to say that Eve and Shiloh were amazing! They were a huge weight off my mind about…read moreleaving my cat, Butters, while we were away on vacation. They have the cat mojo in them for sure! My cat is very sweet, but is very shy and when new people come to visit she always runs to the basement to hide, but when Eve came to do a walk through Butters was still around upstairs wanting to inspect the newcomer. After leaving for our vacation Eve sent me a text everyday and a couple of adorable pictures! It assured me that my house and cat were safe. Butters enjoyed their company so much that when we came home Butters was even cuddlier than she was before Eve and Shiloh gave her their love and attention. Thank you so much for bringing out the best in our cat!

I recently boarded my kittens at Eve's house for a week while on vacation. It was such a great…read moreexperience! The room has tons of options for cats to play, even four month old energetic kittens, and many places to curl up and sleep. There's a web cam in the room so I could check on them whenever I wanted, and they always looked content. They got plenty of attention and the price is extremely reasonable -- much cheaper than boarding services where they'd be stuck in a cage all day. Eve also used to do home visits with my previous cat and did a great job with him. She is very trustworthy and reliable, with good communication. Highly recommended!

I loved the idea of an in-home groomer but it was impossible to get a hold of LC'S. I called…read morerepeatedly during their stated business hours and no one answered the phone. I could not leave a message because their voicemail was full. I used their mobile site to book my appointment and then got an automatic email saying they don't do bookings online and that I could text, email or call for more info. Calling obviously didn't work so I texted and emailed and got robotic responses that were clearly not from a person. I also submitted a form through the Contact Us form on their website and got no response from a human. What a waste of my time.

By her coming to my place, it reduces the stress on my cats by not taking them to a strange place around other animals they aren't familiar with. But, the main thing is; Tanya is awesome with my cats! She's caring, patient and kind, and she does an outstanding job grooming my cats. She is very, very busy and it's difficult to get an appointment, but that's because she's so talented! I highly recommend LC's and Tanya! You won't regret contacting her!

On the night of the 23rd, Dr. John and his assistant from West Woodward Animal Clinic came to our…read morehome for an end‑of‑life visit for our beloved Daisy Mae. When him and his assistant first walked in, Daisy growled a little, unsure of what was happening. But within minutes, she completely relaxed around him and wanted all of his attention. My nervous system picked up on it immediately, and clearly Daisy's did too. He showed up with humanity, presence, with the quiet Veteran-to-Veteran understanding that doesn't need to be spoken. This told us everything we needed to know about the kind of person he is. Dr. John explained every detail of the process with clarity and patience. He told us what to expect, answered every question, and made sure we felt supported through every step. His presence reminded me so much of my brother -- the way he knew exactly when to be serious and when to bring a little light into the room. That familiar warmth meant more than I can put into words. When Daisy took her last breath at 9:28pm, he honored us by giving us private time with her. They both stepped outside into the freezing cold -- during a polar vortex with sub‑zero wind chills -- just so we could have those sacred final moments in peace. That level of respect and empathy is something I will never forget. What touched us even more was his integrity. He knew we had already spent nearly $3,000 on emergency vet visits earlier in the month and still came without expecting ANYTHING in return. We were only able to borrow $250 last minute for her cremation, and even then he tried to refuse it because he knew we were struggling. His compassion was genuine, not transactional. I had been syringe‑feeding and hydrating Daisy since December 30th, monitoring every breath, every symptom, to keep her comfortable and strong, never thinking such an experience would be necessary. I was living to keep her alive so trying to rewire my system to get back to reality has been ugly and incredibly painful. However, I am deeply grateful that her final moments were filled with love, dignity, and the gentle care of someone who truly understands the weight of saying goodbye. Dr. John gave us -- and Daisy Mae -- a gift we will carry for the rest of our lives.

Copied from my google review -‐--…read more I recently called West Woodward in attempt to see if the veterinarian on staff would be willing to even look at our fish to remove a splinter in his eye. The receptionist refused to ask the veterinarian for me. In fact, in response to me asking her if she could just ask him, she laughed sarcastically and said "what, do you not believe me?". I understand that this practice does not cater to aquatic animals but the absolute disdain and callousness of the receptionist in the face of my grief and desperation was heart breaking. Do not take your loved ones here if you expect an empathetic welcome from the suppor staff. You'll be laughed at, belittled, and disregarded. EDIT to add screeshot: Also, please note that she repeatedly told me to Google fish vets near me and would not listen when I requested she ask the veterinarian because the first vet that came up when I googled that exact phrase, was indeed West Woodward.
