I was going to write a review for Dilworth to make sure everyone knows how great they are - but apparently they don't need it!! everyone on Yelp has given them 5 stars and rightfully so!
My cat is 12 and has had a history of medical issues. When he was diagnosed with a very aggressive hyperthyroid, Dr. Wheelock was compassionate and honest with what to do. I ended up getting radiation, and Dr. Wheelock was great with the follow-up.
The vets, techs and desk staff here are very thorough and knowledgeable - but they also seem to have a great network of vets and specialists to tap into if your fur-baby has some sort of mystery illness.
Don't let "Dilworth" scare you off. I find they are VERY fair with pricing!
Also, they are very very good about seeing your animal asap - same day appts and emergency appts. Dr. Wheelock even gave me his cell # in case I ever needed to reach him.
Lastly, they are not just about cats and dogs. They will happily check out small animals, and Dr. Wheelock is espcially knowledgeable and fond of exotics/reptiles.
If you have a pet in Charlotte, definitely go to Dilworth Animal Hospital - you will be happy to have such great people taking care of your fur-baby!
