About Wayne Heights Animal Hospital

Wayne Heights Animal Hospital opened its doors in July of 1996 with a vision to provide quality veterinary services with care and compassion. This high standard of care got us where we are today. In 2007, Drs. John and Charlene Barnes purchased the facility, and have continued the hospital’s excellent reputation.

“We just recently moved to the area and have taken all our pets (2 cats and a dog). We truly picked this office for location and that they would actually take our pets in a reasonable time frame. I am so glad we landed here. Both doctors and the staff are so friendly to both humans and furry friends. Always take time to answer questions. Also, seem much less expensive than our old vet!” – Robin M.

“This office was amazing with my kitten. I called at closing with an issue and the next morning they called me back right away. They were able to get us in that same day to have her seen. The staff was very friendly and seemed genuinely concerned about my 13-week-old kitten. I highly recommend this office. This was the first time we have been there and definitely not the last. We switched all of our pets to this office.” – Amber B.
