Dr. Manubay is one of the absolute finest veterinarians and surgeons I have ever encountered. He has saved our dog's life (he eats anything and everything no matter how obsessively we dog-proof our house) on two separate occasions. Dr. Manubay is very, very personable, compassionate, beyond intelligent and competent, and treats your pet like it's his own. If one of our dogs is in pain, you can see the genuine sympathy and concern he has to rid them of that pain and get them well as soon as possible. He has even made it a point to call us late at night for days in a row or on his days off just to make sure that we were doing okay with various emergencies/health conditions our pets have had. We will be moving soon and it makes us sad, and a bit anxious, about having to leave his practice.\r

Dr. Manubay is always conscious of the cost to us and discusses options and alternatives wherever possible. There have been so many occasions at other clinics where you just can't shake the feeling that you're being used for your lack of medical knowledge to cover a practice's financial hardship. That thought has never even crept into my mind at Center West.\r

Dr. Hunt is another incredible veterinarian who mirrors everything listed above about Dr. Manubay. Dr. Hunt returned our emergency call at midnight not even a full minute after we placed it. She stayed on the phone answering every little concern we had, thoroughly and patiently.\r

I have never had Dr. Thomas; I've only heard very good things about him.\r

All of the techs are great and highly proficient. They, too, show great care and concern for the comfort and well-being of our dogs; I've seen so many mechanical 'assembly line' practices staffed wih techs and support staff who were unremarkable or just downright unpleasant to deal with. \r

I know this review sounds overly appreciative but it is really and truly how we feel. I am in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Center West Animal Hospital.\r

Pros: A rare practice that genuinely cares about your pet
