Dr. Wharrey was born and raised just north of Pittsburgh, PA. Upon earning his BS in Biology, he moved to Columbus, OH, where he earned his DVM from Ohio State in 2017. After spending a year in general practice, Dr. Wharrey decided to dedicate his career to emergency medicine and critical care, where he has worked in a 24-hr. facility ever since. Dr. Wharrey has a special interest in canine and feline internal medicine, companion exotic animals, and surgery. One of his favorite parts of emergency medicine is being able to care for pets when they need it most. Dr. Wharrey started at VEG in 2022, and loves that at VEG, we keep people and their pets together no matter what the situation.

Twice now I've had to visit these amazing animal doctors. 5 stars isn't enough. Truly....truly...amazing, kind, knowledgeable, caring, and loving. They loved our dogs like they were family. This is where you go when you are having a pet crisis. A room to sit in with my pup while they cared for him and monitored him. It was as comfortable as my couch at home.

Steve, my 5 year old frenchie, needed an ultrasound because we thought he had an intestinal blockage and a friend said we should give VEG a try. So thankful we did! All of the staff introduced themselves, sat on the floor with Steve, making sure he was comfortable and I loved that I was with him the whole time we were there, I never left his side! I have already recommended VEG to others and will definitely go there for any emergencies in the future.

My little Bear was hit by a car on Wednesday and you can only imagine how I was feeling. But I had such a pleasant experience from the moment I called Veg Cincinnati to me opening the front door to the facility. Staff were super attentive and very helpful not only to me but more importantly Bear. I really liked that everything was open concept. I could see, ask questions and comfort my pet during his care. They offered us water, snacks, and a private room during our stay. With it being 24hrs I was able to come back later that night to see Bear. Everything was just so great. I can’t really remember everyone’s name so my apologies if I miss anyone but Hannah, Megan, Courtney, Trisha(I believe), Dr Lavigne, Dr R, Dr Williams and the team from New York who were in training are amazing. Such a scary moment turned into a good lifetime memory. Thanks for being so gentle and loving to our little Bear. You all felt like family more than just strangers.
