Here’s what some of our satisfied customers have to say about their experience at Independence Veterinary Hospital:

• "Everyone is always lovely and kind, even with Enzo who can be a handful. I’ve been taking all my five pets here since we moved to Virginia in late 2022, and even though we live 30+ minutes away, I refuse to switch vets. The quality care they get at Independence Vet is unmatched. Dr. Smithwick is our favorite, but Dr. Kier and Johnston are equally as great, and we trust all three!"
• "I felt very welcome! I also felt that Dr. Keir truly cares about each individual patient, treating us as more than just a number. He asked questions to truly understand my experience, explained and corrected misinformation previously provided by others and provided reminders that can easily be forgotten especially for an experienced owner dealing with a puppy for the first time in several years. So Pleased with our choice to make the move to Independence!"
