  • There is literally no veterinary practice I trust more than West End
    There is literally no veterinary practice I trust more than West End. I have been a client of Dr. Factor’s since 2015 because he specializes in exotics, which any bunny person knows is challenging to find in veterinary care. I now live over 100 miles away and I continue to bring my non-exotic pets to this office because the quality of care, compassion, and knowledge is unparalleled. Dr. Santiago has been an incredible addition to the practice and is so calm and collected with my reactive dog. I view everyone in this office as an extended family because they take care of my fur children as they would their own. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

  • One of the best vet clinics out there
    One of the best vet clinics out there. Sadly my first encounter with them was with my beardie who didn’t have much time left but they took care of us very well. Even though we met on such sad terms they made us feel cared for by sending us a written card. It made our day brighter. Now I bring my other beardies to them!

  • My cat Sylvia was undergoing more extensive asthma attacks
    My cat Sylvia was undergoing more extensive asthma attacks. I called the office and got a same-day appointment for her with Dr. Santiago. She examined Sylvia and verified for me that her lungs were okay, but that I needed to change her medication back to what had been originally been prescribed as she was having a reaction to her last medication. Since back on the original medication, Sylvia's attacks have already begun to subside. Dr. Santiago told me she will follow up at the end of the week to check with how Sylvia is doing.

  • It made her week!
    Taking your pet to the vet during a pandemic is an experience. I was low key panicking about not being able to go into the room with my Bearded Dragon. The staff here get that and they will talk you through everything till you feel like you know what's what and why.

    Also, they sent my future MIL a postcard with my lizard's name and our last name. It made her week!

  • It is a great place & a lot of people trust them
    I have been going to the West End Veterinary Office for many years now. The doctors are great and the staff is wonderful. No wonder they are so busy. It is a great place and a lot of people trust them with their furry, scaly, and feathered family members.

  • They’ve become an essential part of our pets’ team
    We’ve been going to West End Vet for over 10 years. It started when we had our ferrets. Finding a vet who handles ferrets is difficult to find. I was referred to Dr. Factor. On our first visit, he picked Jasmine up, cuddled her, and kissed her nose. That was it for me. The practice has seen us through all our animals since. They are there for us through good times and bad. They’ve become an essential part of our pets’ team. We highly recommend them!

  • West End Vet is the best vet office you could find.
    West End Vet is the best vet office you could find. The people there are very polite and respectful. You don't sit there for a long time waiting to be seen. You are in and out with your pet. Every time you go there they always check your pet over and then proceed with why you brought your pet in to be seen.

  • Doctor Factor, all of the techs & staff at West End are incredible
    Doctor Factor and all of the techs and staff at West End are incredible. I have two very difficult cats, a chinchilla, and a tortoise. They have lovingly handled anything my critters can throw at them. They are very kind, and Doc factor is always very straight with me about what exactly is wrong with my pet, what treatment options and costs are, and what he recommends. I drive almost an hour to get to this office. I highly recommend them, especially if you have an exotic pet!

  • The staff is excellent too
    we have been going there with our felines for many years. dr. the factor is very thorough in explaining things, he calls me personally to explain test results, etc. I was shocked by the 1st time he called me. This was not how I was treated at another vet in the area. speaking to him directly told me I was with the right Dr. The staff is excellent too.

    - Mary D

  • We highly recommend Dr. Factor & the staff at the West End Veterinary office.

    Their professionalism and expert knowledge! You cannot buy wisdom that is what this office has to offer in this day and age. Not every visit requires a test, that’s where the wisdom comes in.
    We have 3 pets under their care 2 dogs and a cat and we drive 40 minutes to receive care because they are worth it as are our pets.

    They are the best straight forward, no scare tactics, and to the heart of the matter.

    We highly recommend Dr. Factor and the staff at the West End Veterinary office.

  • I recommend this awesome office, they’re family
    I recommend this awesome office, they’re family. They treat your pet as if it is their own. Recently we lost our Minature Pincher and Dr. Don was right by our side, the staff came in and hugged us and shared our pain. I can’t say enough of what their
    Comfort meant to us.

  • I will be sure that their facility gets the love of all my future pets
    I could not be more satisfied with the level of care and compassion the ENTIRE staff had with my girlfriend and me. Although our visit was saying our last goodbyes to our Hedgehog, Stella Bella. The knowledge of the Doctor when he first held Stella and expertise in easing us through what may or may not have been one of the hardest moments in our lives. I will be sure that their facility gets the love of all my future pets. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for taking us on extremely short notice without a scheduled appointment and helping us through every step and asking if we needed anything.

  • Dr. Factor is the most caring Vet I've experienced.
    Dr. Factor is the most caring Vet I've experienced. My Yorkie Leelu has been going to him for 9 yrs now and she loves him. She loves when he kisses her on the top of her head. I know my dog is in good hands when they are in the hands of Dr. Factor. The girls in the office are efficient, personable, and courteous. Quality pet care at West End Veterinary

  • I will recommend Dr. Factor & West End Veterinary a hundred times over.
    I have been a client of Dr. Factor for four years. I travel 100 miles each way when my pets need to be seen because I truly believe he is the best in the business. The entire West End Veterinary team is a group of some of the most compassionate, informed people I know, and I think of a lot of them as family. They collectively loved and took care of my rabbit Alice and all of her chronic issues from 12 weeks old to the end of her beautiful life. I can’t thank them enough for being here for me and my furry family through all of the smiles and the tears. Dr. Santiago has been a wonderful addition to the team as well. I will recommend Dr. Factor and West End Veterinary a hundred times over.

  • He is extremely knowledgeable
    Dr. Factor has cared for (and extended the lives of) two of my beloved bunnies, Chip and Dalia. He is extremely knowledgeable about bunnies and this is something I really value in this area, as so many vets in the area are not rabbit-savvy. Dr. Factor delves beneath the surface issues and really searches for the underlying causes of my bunnies’ ailments. He cares so deeply and becomes truly invested in your pet’s care. I feel so lucky to have found him along with his entire staff who are caring, approachable, and always put me at ease.

    Dr. Factor is the best and the most caring doctor. I was so fortunate to find Dr. Factor and his wonderful staff. Dr. Factor was the only one that was able to diagnose my lovebird, Sweetie, and I make Sweetie well again. Thank you, Dr. Factor, you are a god-send.

  • We look forward to future years of healthy visits!
    Today was my first experience at the West End Vet office... Susan put my mind at ease the second I walked in the door. Deidra was top-notch at holding Gino during the exam, not an easy task lol. Dr. Factor is knowledgeable, caring, and informative...my Gino did not growl, or seem stressed at all during his visit. We look forward to future years of healthy visits!!! Thank you for my peace of mind and care today!

  • I would never go anywhere else. I am forever grateful.
    Just wanted to thank Dr. Factor and the Staff at West End Veterinary for everything they did for my girl Biscuit. I especially thank you for always knowing how to assist your pet parents in making the best decision and always providing all the information we need to make those decisions for our furry family members.
    You are wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable people who really care for our pets and take care of them as if they were your own. I would never go anywhere else. I am forever grateful.
