Hope Animal Hospital

I’m leaving this review to not only praise the entire team, especially DrAhmad and his absolute professionalism/skills. It’s to actually let everyone know what our family went through on about the weekend before Christmas, and it was definitely a complete nightmare/heart breaking experience. So it was the night before I got an appointment with Hope as I called at opening, and they fit us right in for my 13 y/o best friend Rambo for second opinions……. Second opinions because I rushed my boy to northern va, VEG (veterinary emergency group) in the middle of the night. Let’s just say I’m absolutely disgusted with what I saw in the main doctor’s eyes, as there wasn’t any compassion nor “real” sympathy it seemed. After she does a quick ultrasound she tells me there is a mass in his abdomen that he is internally bleeding so she tries to get a sample, but was pulling air nothing else then even said the needle was too small… kept trying til he got upset, and she dramatically jumped back across the floor. Eventually It took who looked like a guy learning the trade to take it upon himself to clean a room for us, and made a bed after being left on the floor for awhile. She then got to the room gave me a quote for further examination mind you they would have made a lot of money, I essentially jumped right onto it to do so then she proceeded to try to talk me out of it. She gave him methadone, drugged him up then said to me “look at him he is dying”. I even mentioned how I had only chosen them because of the reviews, and she had the nerve to say “well they don’t really matter” as if I was a burden for choosing them, and not one of the other 24/7 emergency vets in the area… she was trying to get me to put him down, and seemed the only profession she has. I wasted 500$ going there only to be sent with not even pain meds for him.. It was cold and I just know a lot of people/ families have lost their pets to this place.. I know this actually because Dr Ahmad, and the Hope animal hospital saved my best friend! Like I said I was up all night of course doing everything I could, and I believe fate brought me to Hope. So Unlike this disgrace of a person didn’t. Dr Ahmad quickly informed me when we found not one, but Three! Masses on Rambo’s ruptured spleen causing internal bleeding that he could do the surgery to remove it first thing the next morning.. Even after trying to get an overnight for me but the place couldn’t take Rambo/any other cases. That “person” never even mentioned that it is commonly on the spleen, and has a good success rating with a splenectomy.. Our family says thank you to Hope animal hospital from the bottom of our hearts for performing a Christmas miracle, and saving Rambo as he was definitely not ready to go because he is healthy otherwise! He is on his way to a full recovery now, and getting back to himself trying to play non stop! It’s all I could have ever wanted for him. Hope is our new family oriented place to go for Rambo, his daughter Remmy and all their kitty siblings. (Rambo is chocolate brown and white) (Remmy is light tan and white) Then calypso, Jupiter, Satie, Luna, clips lol ✌🏻🩷

The most compassionate, caring staff I've ever met. They have provided excellent care for all of my pets. In June 2022 our beloved dog had an unexpected seizure that paralyzed him from the waist down. We called in a panic, and they had us come in immediately. Sadly, there was nothing we could do and we had to euthanize him, which was horribly traumatic. The entire entire staff was beyond amazing! Dr A gave him antianxiety meds to make him comfortable and gave me as much time as I needed to just cry all over my dog and say goodbye. He made sure I was ready and explained everything to me as this was my first time losing a pet. He stayed with me while I sobbed and just hugged me. He gave my sweet boy a peaceful, compassionate passing with privacy and respect. There wasn't a dry eye amongst the staff but they still made it all about us, our dog, and our grief. They escorted us out privately as to not traumatize other pet owners and called to check on us the following day. We received a condolance card with his pawprint and a clipping of his fur signed by the entire staff and they cremated him and placed his ashes in a beautiful urn for us. To this day they ask how we are doing without him and make sure I am never placed in that room when I come in with my cat. That is a RARE find. The entire staff is exceptional! I will be loyal to them for as long as I live in Virginia. Also, they have emergency visits same day, which is awesome! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I can’t thank Hope Animal hospital enough! We brought my chihuahua for an emergency visit and the doctor immediately took care of him. He had been bitten by a larger dog a few days prior and was doing well until the weekend. The skin died and they had to remove it. It took only 8 weeks for huge wounds (that I honestly thought would never heal). The doctor recommend phobia light treatments and they worked so well. I could see huge changes a day after each treatment we did weekly. We didn’t think he would make it through it but everyone was amazing from the front desk at getting us in when needed to the staff who treated him so well and the doctor who didn’t give up on him! He is doing wonderful and back to his normal self!! Thank you Hope!!

Words cannot describe my level of thanks and gratitude to Dr. Ahmad and his amazing team for there immense care and compassion for our sweet dog, Cooper. During our pet emergency Dr. Ahmad made our family feel informed and provided the best care for our beloved pet and we are beyond greatful to him and his team. Our sweet Cooper is on the road to recovery and getting better everyday all thanks to Dr. Ahmad and his amazing team. We will be forever clients of Hope Animal Hospital for our furry friends needs.

Amazing vet and staff! Front desk was super helpful. My dog Max got neutered here based off the recommendation from Dr. Ahmad due to his enlarged prostate. No other vet was as concerned for my dogs bleeding until we came here. I had ease of mind leaving my dog here for surgery. Reasonable prices and take same day emergency appointments. My dog is strong, playful and excited but the staff was friendly despite his rambunctious nature. Will recommend this office to everyone and will be back for ALL my dogs foreseeable vet needs.
