Burien Veterinary Hospital: Whitty Erin DVM

Sep 2024

We have been bringing our cat to Dr. Whitty for over four years and have always been so impressed with her passion, love, and knowledge around cats (and I'm sure other pets also!!!). The other staff at Burien Veterinary Hospital are also exceptional! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and so good with all the pets who come in! I can't recommend Burien Vet and Dr. Whitty enough!

I loved Dr. Kamdar and Dr. Lee for 16.5 years with Lucy, our white American Eskimo dog. After Lucy died we waited 5 months and adopted a traumatized 11 year old named Jasmine, a Toy Schnoodle. Dr. Kamdar welcomed her warmly. Their support staff is great. Jasmine's scared of men so they quickly sent only women technicians to carry her in and out in the pandemic. However (there's always a "but") over the last decades, we experienced a slow worsening of service as they got busier. Now we no longer get reminders for regular care, like flea meds every 3 months,shots and exams. When you are "owned'" by a 12.5 year old, reminders are critical. It's more of a money making venture than a caring vet. I am sorry to see this because the Docs are smart and technicians are warm and competent. I guess it's time to find another vet with great,smart docs and caring service. If Burien Cares can manage it when they're swamped, BVH needs to Build Back Better at management. Thanks for 14 great years Dr. Kamdar.

I was told that this clinic does a certain surgery ...and then when I get into the office for my appointment the doctor confirmed that they do offer the surgery my dog needed.. but then kept trying to talk me out of doing the surgery with them. She also suggested that I see a surgeon or a specialist instead. The way that the doctor implied that her colleague wasn't suitable for the surgery despite having experience .. made me feel as though she didn't really believe in her skill or ability. As I waited over a month for this appointment I was very disappointed and I felt as though I wasted my time. (The reason I gave any stars at all was because the women at the front desk were very kind and helpful)
