I took my bearded dragon to this clinic, hoping to do what was best for him. I told them I didn’t want to put him through unnecessary suffering, but instead of discussing quality-of-life options, they strongly recommended $1,200 worth of tests, including blood work, bacterial cultures, and X-rays. They also gave him a B-12 injection, fluids, prescribed pain medication, antibiotics, and powdered food. When I asked about euthanasia, they discouraged it and insisted on further testing. I trusted their advice, but sadly, he passed away later that night.
They initially told me the blood work would take 48 business hours, yet when I called the next morning, they already had the results and said the vet would call me. By then, it didn’t matter—he was already gone. They refunded the bacterial culture, but I can’t help but wonder if his final hours could have been handled with more compassion and honesty.
Looking back, I wish I had been given more guidance on what was truly in his best interest, rather than being encouraged to proceed with extensive tests, injections, and medications that did not change the outcome. I am heartbroken knowing that I put him through more stress than necessary. I strongly recommend seeking an opinion from a vet who prioritizes humane options before making a decision.

My prior veterinarian referred me to Welleby Veterinary Hospital for a duckling my neighbor accidentally injured. I am impressed with the level of care and concern for the little duckling by every person I spoke with when other vets wouldn't even consider looking at it. WVH will be my new veterinarians for my cats.

Everyone at Welleby is so friendly and professional. I always ask a million questions and all of the staff are very patient with me. Especially Dr. Ramirez! All of my family's pets(5 dogs and one cat) go here.

I was referred to Welleby by another vet and let me just tell you how incredible my experience has been with them! If I could give an extra star I would…
My preschool received a bird, unexpectedly, earlier this month. The children named her Blueberry (Blue). Come to find out she has some other things going on and that’s where Welleby and their amazing staff comes in. From the moment I called there has been nothing but love from every person I have seen or spoken to for Blue, me, and the situation we are in. We saw Dr Rodriguez, I have primarily worked with technician Jackie and spoken with Elizabeth many times. They have been so helpful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and all around wonderful. They have taken such great care of us and I cannot tell you how beyond grateful I am for that. I am so excited to continue working with them!

I can’t say enough great things about this animal clinic! From the moment we walked in, the team was on time, incredibly empathetic, and genuinely compassionate toward both me and my pet. They took the time to thoroughly research my pet’s condition and explained everything clearly, offering thoughtful, cost-effective treatment options without ever making us feel rushed or pressured.
What really stood out was how knowledgeable and accommodating they were—it's rare to find a clinic that balances professionalism with such warmth and care. Their pricing was very reasonable, especially given the high level of attention and expertise we received.
I left feeling confident, informed, and so grateful to have found a place that truly puts animals (and their owners) first. Highly recommend!
I appreciate Elizabeth "Liz" efforts to help in this process.
