VCA Wellington Animal Hospital

I never give anyone this high of a review, not much deserves it until now. I’ve been going to Wellington for a long time. I’ve used Springfield and a vet in Broomall and Wellington has exceeded my expectations. The staff is incredible! Friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. And as I previously read, it was never about money, money, money. Every Dr that I’ve been involved with gave me a full report of options and never pressed me for one thing over another. I always felt like I knew what was going on, I had multiple options, and I wasn’t pressured into spending lots of money. I actually received phone calls on numerous occasions regarding my pets health, never once did I from the other pet facilities. I would highly recommend Wellington, Dr. Bleier has been unbelievable for us as well as Lee and John.

VCA has taken over a once reputable veterinary hospital. Whenever VCA comes in and takes over a business, the focus shifts from quality care to money, money, money.
The extended hours and 24 hour care, which was Wellington’s best feature, are no longer in place. If it’s after hours they will send you up the road to another VCA hospital (Old Marple).
Please, before you take your animals here, consider whether or not you want them cared for by a corporation notorious for destroying reputable Vet practices.

WTF happened? Wellington used to be a truly amazing veterinary hospital for which there are no superlatives. Now it’s owned by that god-​awful VCA organization, single-​handedly responsible for destroying Old Marple Animal Hospital. Time to look for a new vet. It’s a shame. Dr. Parker’s a rockstar and I’ll miss her. With VCA come the incessant upsells and minimization of office visit times to maximize profit. VCA needs to be euthanized.

I cannot say nice enough things about this vet! I LOVE taking my 2 dogs here and feel extremely comfortable under the care of Dr. Henry and Dr. Parker. The staff is super friendly, and everyone here treats my dogs kindly and carefully. They obviously love animals. I originally came here on a recommendation from a friend, looking for a 2^nd opinion on treating my dog’s arthritis. The vets gave me a few options and were completely honest about the path of treatment they thought was best. I was just there yesterday to have a suspicious growth removed from my dog’s tail, and not only did they not charge me extra (it was the 2^nd test they ran; first one didn’t have enough smaple material), but the vet seemed very concerned for my dog AND myself, and really did a wonderful job.
The hours of Wellington will fit any schedule, plus I like knowing they have 24 hr emergency care. The whole place is clean and well-​kept. They also have a doggie daycare which my younger dog goes to, and always comes back happy and tuckered out! Pricing is very reasonable especially considering the quality of care that my dogs receive. Finally, I’d like to say that my dogs do NOT panic when we pull into the driveway or are taken into the back room by a vet tech like they used to at the other vet. This tells me that even when I’m not in the room, my pets are treated well. I cannot recommend Wellington enough!

This veterinary hospital is in the same building as the Family Pet
Resort, which, I must say is less than perfect. However, the vet who runs this hospital, Dr. Rebbecchi is a real gem. He loves animals and probably loves yours, more than you do! He will give the best advice, save you money on unnecessary treatments and give you and your pet the attention and time you both deserve. I have been going to him on and off for the last 20 years. (I was very excited when he moved hee from the city, which was too far for me to travel). Dr. Rebbecchi is the most caring veterinarian I have ever met. He has a sixth sense when it comes to animals. He can diagnose most skin problems without scraping and he will offer you many treatment options. He will never tell you to get or give unnecessary treatments. He is A #1 in my book!
