West Texas Veterinary Specialists (WTVS) is proud to be the only veterinary specialty group physically serving Lubbock and the surrounding West Texas region with board-certified specialists.
Based in Lubbock, we partner directly with referring veterinarians to provide advanced diagnostic and treatment services while preserving the veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Our model is designed to bring specialty-level care to the region—without requiring patients to travel hours outside of West Texas.

Our approach ensures:
- The referring veterinarian remains central to the case
- Clear, consistent communication throughout the process
- Seamless integration of specialty recommendations into ongoing care
We are proud to work alongside veterinary clinics throughout Lubbock and the South Plains to expand access to advanced care.
