Veterinarians near Haymarket

“Dr. Gillespie and his staff were wonderful in taking care of our baby (Toby-cat). I was not going back if the prior DVM was still there. It was wonderful working with the new medical director. Everyone was kind, efficient and competent. They are a fantastic local veterinary service.“

“I got a 6-week old baby Kitten 3 days ago and called in on Monday, got a same day appointment, and got my Kitten all squared away. Entire staff was friendly, professional and loving as can be with my Kitten. I am happy I found them. Best vet hands down.“

“Dr. Brown and her staff have been our Veterinary for over 15 years. We always receive the BEST care with the BEST service and advice. All the staff always know and talk to our pets making us always feel like one big family!“

“I visited the PetVet at Tractor Supply in Manassas with my two labs.I got great service from the Doctor and all the assistants. Good price and great service. Have been going for years and will go back.“

“I love this practice. All of the vets are caring, knowledgable and very personable. They explain things in layman's terms so you understand what is going on with your pet. I wouldn't go anyplace else for our vet services unless referred to a specialist by one of the docs. They know the best places to send your animal to get speciality care. Their front desk is also super and very friendly. Their techs are the best and are also very caring of your animal. You can't miss with this practice. They are the best.“

“With every horse we’ve taken to Dr. Allen and Dr. John’s, we’ve received a prompt and thorough diagnosis! Because of VEI we have avoided “ going down the rabbit hole” to get a diagnosis! The staff is welcoming, professional and accommodating! I am so grateful and thankful, as are my happy horses!“

“I and my husband have been a client of Dr. Swanson for at least 30 years. My husband passed away in 2015 and I have lived alone with the 3 dachshund dogs we bought when they were 8 weeks old.

We began bringing our dachshund’s to you when your office was across from Jimmy Phillips. Remember the lady who bought the cat in she found on the side of the road. It was injured and very sick looking. You were sooooooooooooooo
Mad ? saying why do all these people bring these road animals in…”Who’s going to pay for the work I have to do”

One dog passed about 3 years ago due to kidney failure and I still enjoy the company of the 2 females.

They are about 12 years old and recently they became ill with a “coughing wheezing” sound and have trouble breathing. Overnight they turned from active happy dogs into barely eating or moving around.

Now on a very limited income I called Dr. Swanson and asked if he would do a health check on my
dogs but I could not afford to pay for it.

He refused and I understand that. He wants to be paid for the service he renders.

A 30 year client may have been offered a payment option from someone with a heart ❤️ .

I could not have been more disappointed.

I’ve always felt you had a cold heart ❤️ BUT NOW I KNOW!!!!!“

“We recently visited this vet when our farm veterinarian was undergoing surgery. Whilst we love our veterinarian team; this practice is an 'admirable-second'. Knowledgeable, aware of natural behavior in extra-large working-dog breeds, competent, not afraid to examine and engage with large dogs, replete with compassion, kindness and particular respect and flexibility for dogs that do not enjoy going indoors, particularly not inside veterinary offices! NAMASTE! GRATITUDE!“

“Exceptional staff, warm and friendly to humans and animals alike. We've had dogs since 1986, and several vets over the years. Ohana is by leaps and bounds(pun intended!) the best one--the others don't even compare!“

“We've been taking our dog to Caring Hands Bristow for four years and they are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and thorough with both acute and chronic issues and always take great care of our Liberty.“

“I was honestly a little concerned at first after reading some of the reviews for this animal hospital, a few had me second-guessing whether I should bring my dog here. But after my visit, I can confidently say my experience was nothing like what some people complained about. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were kind and welcoming. The techs were super gentle with my dog, who can be anxious around new people, and the veterinarian took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. The facility was clean, organized, and had a calm atmosphere. I’m really glad I trusted my gut and gave them a chance. It’s clear they care about the animals they treat and the families who bring them in. I’d definitely recommend them and will be coming back.“

“Dr.Vanama and her staff are highly educated, attentive, caring, and professional. I have personally taken my cats and dogs to her facility for over 5 years now and have never been dissatisfied and I have felt that my animals were always getting the care they deserved.“

“Even though my wife already left a review, I felt compelled to write one myself because the care we received at Lifecare Pet Hospital was truly exceptional. When our dog, Leo, fell sick over the weekend, the doctor went out of his way to help us. He was incredibly responsive, patiently guiding us over the phone during an emergency and ensuring we didn’t feel lost in such a stressful situation.

He even gave us an immediate appointment the next day, which not only saved us from spending a fortune on emergency care but also ensured Leo was treated quickly and effectively. The care, kindness, and professionalism shown by the doctor and his team were beyond anything we expected.

Leo is back to his playful self, and we couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend Lifecare Pet Hospital to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled veterinarian.“

“I wanted to update my review as we recently lost a pet with DSVC. Losing an animal is never easy, but in my opinion the level of care given during that time from a vet office says a lot about the practice. For background, our cat Toby was a rescue that we had the absolute joy and honor of loving for 5 years. When we adopted Toby, he came with no vet records and we had no idea of any health issues (haha, we were in for a rollercoaster ride!). During our time with Toby, he saw DSVC, an ophthalmologist, a neurologist, and lastly an internal medicine vet for small cell lymphoma. All of this is to say that DSVC as a team caught Toby's numerous health conditions over the years and treated what they could, and referred him out for what they could not treat. They called specialists on my behalf to get answers to questions they didn't have the answers for, and to get him in with specialists sooner if needed. Over the years, Toby had almost every procedure possible with DSVC and even stayed with DSVC when they offered hospital and boarding services pre-COVID. Our 5 wonderful years with Toby were only possible because DSVC quite literally saved his life twice and gave him the care he needed and deserved during his lifetime with us. At DSVC, we saw many wonderful techs and doctors over the years (some of which are no longer with the practice) including Dr. Hood, Dr. Luce, Dr. Plummer, Dr. Pattie, Dr. Fernandes, and most recently, Dr. Woodworth and Dr. Blevins. We received, in my opinion, the best veterinary care we could have, with true love and care from DSVC for Toby. Toby unfortunately lost his cancer battle unexpectedly right before Christmas. He was fit in for an appointment with Dr. Blevins and we got the call that she was keeping him warm but he was declining and we needed to come say our goodbyes. It was absolutely heart wrenching, but Dr. Blevins (and our tech, KatieRose - SHE IS A ROCK STAR! Laura is also a rock-star tech that often works with us) were beyond understanding, professional, and friendly (I know there is a better word, but I am tearing up as I write this and cannot think of something other than friendly) through our sobbing and goodbyes. DSVC gave us as much time as we needed with Toby, and Dr. Blevins let us hold him while he went to sleep. We were encouraged to bring our other cat and dog (who also have all of their care through DSVC) and I felt that Toby was able to say goodbye with such dignity and love, I just don't have the words to describe it. DSVC was able to coordinate Toby's cremation (we chose private / single cremation with return of his ashes in an urn) with Agape Pet Services, and included in the cost were mementos. A lot of the reviews that I've read talk about availability and cost. We have been seeing DSVC for over 10 years. Although their availability has fluctuated over the years, they will always get your pet in if it is a true emergency, or they will tell you which Vet ER is best to go to. I understand frustration with limited availability, but like any other business right now, staffing shortages are happening. As far as cost goes, I haven't shopped around for pricing because of the level of love and care they provide my animals. Yes, prices have also fluctuated over the years, but that is the same anywhere. I would rather pay what I do to DSVC to have consistent care and know that my pets are cared for as if they were their own. I know that not everyone has had the experiences I have with DSVC, but I wouldn't think of going elsewhere. Finally, Laurel does grooming for our pets at DSVC. SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST and we won't go anywhere else!“
