“I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bretz, an outstanding equine veterinarian, during the pre-purchase examination (PPE) of a horse we were considering buying. Dr. Bretz went far above and beyond in her thoroughness, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring we made a well-informed decision. Her expertise and commitment were evident in every step of the process. From the very beginning she impressed us with her extensive knowledge and genuine care for the horse's well-being. She meticulously examined every aspect of the horse's health, leaving no stone unturned. Dr. Bretz's communication was impeccable; she explained every finding in a clear and understandable manner, ensuring we fully grasped the implications of each result. Her patience and willingness to answer all our questions made us feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. What truly sets Dr. Bretz apart is her unwavering dedication to her clients. She went the extra mile to provide us with all the information we needed to make an educated decision, and her passion for her work shone through in everything she did. Thanks to her thoroughness and expertise, we felt empowered and reassured in our decision-making. We couldn't be happier with the service Dr. Bretz provided. I highly recommend her to any horse owner or prospective buyer. You can trust Dr. Bretz to prioritize the well-being of your horse and to provide you with the highest level of care and expertise. She is simply amazing!“

“OUTSTANDING!! The CVCA Cardiologist team in Leesburg, VA, rearranged their schedule and donated their time to assist the Dental Surgery team with the full mouth teeth extraction for our 15-year-old, feline, Mr. Maizy, who was just diagnosed with full heart block and stomatitis. Mr. Maizy also has a very high sensitivity to anesthesia. Although we only had an appointment that day for a cardiology exam, due to the urgency of Mr. Maizy’s condition, CVCA coordinated separate organizations to perform emergency surgery. This included Animal Dentistry & Oral Surgery, VCA Animal Emergency Critical Care, and CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets, which are all conveniently in the same location to perform the procedure. What a wonderful place this is to have such comprehensive care teams from different companies collaborating with such immediacy as they did for our Mr. Maizy. During his surgery, there was a team of seven, including four doctors, working on our Mr. Maizy. We were completely blown away by all of this!! They reaffirmed our belief that there are veterinary professionals who dedicate their selfless, loving care to the needs of our cherished four-legged, family members. We highly recommend CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets, Animal Dentistry & Oral Surgery, and VCA Animal Emergency Critical Care in Leesburg, VA!! With our deepest gratitude and appreciation, Ingrid, John & Mr. Maizy“

“Went here for my dog almost 2 years ago, doctor andrew was very patient and helpful. Our dog Rocky was very weak and the her body wasn’t accepting the medicine. Had to be put her down so she wasn’t in pain anymore. Dr. Andrew and the whole staff were very supporting through the grieving process and let us stay here with her for a while. Thank you“

“Wonderful care for my dog. That was my first visit but I will continue to take my dog there.“

“This place is amazing. They gave me extra time with a Chihuahua who had CHF. They love and help all my coonhounds now and have supported my fur kids through everything.“

“Extremely happy with Green Valley Animal Hospital. I have a very anxious (COVID) dog and they are excellent with her. They are great about keeping notes and adjusting her care as needed. Boarding has been excellent. Highly recommend this vet.“

“Expensive but worth the service, staff were fine and my pet is doing great. Give yourself extra time to drive out there if you’re not coming from the immediate area.“

“Knowledgeable staff providing appropriate diagnosis and treatment of our dogs issues and organized identification of required shots.“

“We are very grateful to Dr. Lester and her professional, skilled team for the exceptional care they gave our dog, Oliver, from late February until mid-October. Because of an emergency clinic visit in late February, Dr. O’Donnell at the AECC, Leesburg, wanted Dr. Lester to do an ultrasound on Oliver’s spleen as there was something suspicious. Dr. Lester identified a nodule that she then advised we monitor over the coming months. At first there were no changes to the nodule size except in April there were now two. However, in August one nodule had doubled in size. Dr. Lester was concerned and recommended Oliver to VSC, Leesburg for surgery. His biopsy determined sarcoma and his cancer is being treated. We look back on this experience and realize if it hadn’t have been for Dr. O’Donnell in AECC and then Dr. Lester’s quick response in August, we might not have Oliver with us today if these masses had ruptured. Again, a special thanks to the VCA IMed team.“

“Incredible staff. Extremely educated and very caring. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for taking care of our dog and allowing us to share the holidays with her. You made us feel comfortable from the moment we entered. God bless you and the work you are doing.“
