All of the veterinary care your pet

We are a group of highly trained, educated, experienced animal lovers devoted to giving our patients the best veterinary care possible. With attention to detail, we provide specialized, individual care to each and every pet.
West Ballantyne Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital started by Dr. Tom Linfante. Dr. Linfante began practicing veterinary medicine in 2006 and has been practicing in the Charlotte area since 2009. As your local family veterinarian, we want your pet to be part of our family.
COVID-19
As COVID-19 threatens our community, West Ballantyne Animal Hospital remains committed to the health and safety of our patients, clients and staff. We continue to adjust to the guidelines and best practices set forth by the CDC, the American Veterinary Medical Association and our state and local governments to follow all recommended protocols. We are continuing to operate during this difficult time to provide the veterinary medical and surgical care your pet needs.
The WBAH staff is proud to announce that all team members have completed their COVID-19 vaccine series. As of May 24, 2021, we have returned to in-person exams for pets requiring a doctor’s visit. Two masked adults may accompany pet(s) into the hospital for doctor’s visits only. We are continuing curbside service for medication pick-up, surgery and bath drop-offs, technician visits and for those clients wishing to continue curbside service for their pet’s doctor’s visit.
Procedure
When you arrive, park in designated, numbered spaces and call (980) 938-8136 to check in. For medication pick up, patient drop-offs, technician visits please remain in your car and a team member will escort your pet into the building or bring medication out to your car.
For Doctor’s Visits:
- A technician will call you to discuss your pet’s history and concerns and associated anticipated treatment plan costs.
- A technician will bring a leash to come outside and collect your pet. Once our leash is secure, you may take yours off and keep it while the technician escorts your pet in to the building.
- When the doctor is ready to perform your pet’s physical exam you have 2 options:
- 1. In person visit: We are currently allowing two family members into the hospital per doctor’s visit to accompany pets. Please wait in your car until a team member is ready to escort you into the building.

- Social distancing will be practiced, please keep a 6-foot distance between yourself and all staff members.
- 2. Phone Call Summaries: The doctor will perform your pets’ physical exam and call once the exam is completed to discuss recommendations and treatment plans.
