Veterinary Care for Your Pets

Aeolus Animal Hospital is aware that there is a document circulating that outlines some very serious concerns about our hospital. We want our clients and entire community to know that we deny these charges of animal mistreatment. Dr. Wendell has always taken his care of animals seriously, and we anticipate a fully positive resolution on this issue once we have been given the opportunity to fully respond. These allegations originate from a former employee with whom we have a disagreement. We have never had an owner file a complaint, including in this case, and the records and testimony from others - including staff who remain in our employment and former veterinary associates -  will show that these allegations are false. In animal care, a charge like this must be taken seriously, and a summary suspension is a temporary condition to allow for the process of review to take place, which has not been completed. While we understand that the process of review is important to the safety of animals, in this case we regret that the system of review has given any of our clients a reason to question how much we love their animals. We know in time we will earn back your trust and confidence. 

What this means for you and your animals:

The entire Aeolus team remains committed to the finest and most humane care for your animals. Bob has hired Dr. Peter Geannelis. Peter recently retired from his veterinary practice, and will be conducting appointments at Aeolus. We have always had a policy that allows for owners to remain with their animal for the duration of their visit. This will remain the case going forward. We have an open door policy because we are proud of our compassionate care of animals entrusted to our care. 

What happens next?

We anticipate Bob's full return following the completion of this review. Until then, he will take on an administrative role at the hospital while Peter handles all patient care. We have also hired an additional veterinarian who will be joining us in September. Our hospital remains open and ready to care for your animals. 

Bob is happy to answer your questions about these allegations. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and support. Thank you.

At Aeolus Animal Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves the best possible care. That's why we treat each pet as an individual, and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs.
