Read What Our Clients Say

    You guys are awesome!!! Everyone treated Ziggy like he was their own bird! It's not easy as a pet parent to trust someone with their animals, but I felt completely at ease and I could tell Ziggy did too! You have no idea how appreciative I am of all of your compassion and cooperation. I walked into your clinic a nervous wreck for Ziggy and expected to spend thousands on our visit. I will from now on bring all of my feather/fur babies to this facility and will continue to sing my praises to all of my pet parent friends!

    Mariah Berry

    Dr. Reese and his staff are amazing! I have been to their office multiple times and they are always so nice and always answer all of my questions. Dr. Reese is very knowledgeable! I own exotics and it is truly hard to find someone you can trust with them. There is no long wait when you show up for your appointment (like other offices) and they always try to fit you in at a convenient time for you. I love them and will continue to use them!

    Matthew Barentine

    We have been with Dr. Reese and his staff at Whitehouse veterinary hospital for almost 11 yrs with our dogs. It's like our second home and are pets have always received the best treatments they could possibly receive. Everyone is very caring and friendly. They make you feel like your are the most important customer and will do all in their power to take care of your needs and your pets needs. I have nothing to say but all positive things. I recommend Dr. Reese and his staff to everyone.

    D. Miller

    George and I went from having no dogs to finding and rescuing 7 boxers, Momma, 1yr offspring, and 5 new puppies. We went directly to Dr. Reese's office to have them checked out. He & all his staff were so loving, helpful, kind & gentle. They gave us all the info. We needed to get the dogs back into good shape. They had been ''dumped'' in a field and were in the rain & cold. We took the meds and cared for the dogs & puppies, each day the Dr.'s asst or tech would call to check on all of them. It's been 4 months now, Momma is well-nourished, free of her problems, all puppies found good homes, and we have kept the 1 yr old (offspring) to the Momma. We love the clinic, have had only great things to say about the care and we trust them, most of all , to take the best care of our dogs. Thanks to all of the staff there!!!
