VCA University Veterinary Clinic

The entire staff were so wonderful during a sad time for our family. They showed such care and compassion for our dog. I highly recommend VCA University Veterinary Clinic

I can’t ever thank Dr.Van Sickle enough. This woman is the most professional, patient and caring vet iv ever encountered. Not to mention she’s a beautiful human inside and out. Iv been coming here since my pup was a bit over a year old and I have NEVER had anything but a perfect experience. We all know It all starts with the front desk costumer service and Crystal has that DOWN! Not only is she always super kind and supportive to me but she acknowledges my pup tobes and greets him with the biggest smile every time. It’s so reassuring to know my pup is cared for from the beginning. Unfortunately toby got sick this past Sunday and after two ER visits with some recovery (but not much) I took him in to see Dr.Van sickle yesterday (WHICH SHE MADE EXTRA TIME FOR HIM EVEN THO SHE WAS BUSY WITH SURGERIES ALL DAY) and I am so grateful to say he is FINALLY all better. I spent a lot of money and was given meds and fluids that didn’t stop the symptoms fully but Dr.Van Sickle saw him and gave him a med combo that had him back to normal in literally an hour from getting home! She genuinely looked worried and sad for Toby and took the time to give some extra tests and explain everything to me so I didn’t feel so helpless. She even had her super sweet vet tech Amber show me how to properly give tobes his meds and re explain everything to me just incase. We had to get a fecal sample from Toby which unfortunately came with lots of blood and Amber took the time to wipe him after (very soft) and reassured him that he was okay the whole time. It was so sweet and I couldn’t thank her enough for the support she gave my tobes the whole time during testing. I also want to give a shout out to Tatyana because she has also helped tobes in the past and has also been super sweet and soft with him. I’m so thankful I was recommended to this veterinary clinic by Maria Victoria because it truly is the best veterinary clinic in the area! They have the sweetest kindest most caring staff and I genuinely can’t ever thank them enough for everything they do for tobes. Being a first time fur mama can deff be scary at times but this team has always made me feel so supported that at this point I consider them Toby’s aunties. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart to the whole team at VCA for getting my fur baby back to health. I appreciate you all so much. I wish I could give more than five stars.

I brought my 7 month old kitten in to VCA for a checkup because he was limping. The vet examined him for like 5 seconds, and told me his teeth needed to be professionally cleaned. Like what? He’s a kitten, no they don’t. I think the vet was confused because he’s long haired and was 8.5 pounds at the time. He probably looked older, and the vet thought he was an adult kitty. He barely even looked at the kitten and didn’t address what we were actually there for at all. When we entered the clinic I told the receptionist we were there for the kitten’s leg injury. When the vet entered the room, I told him the leg was the issue. The vet examined kitty really quickly and said he’d be right back, but never came back. The assistant eventually came in the exam room to schedule X-rays and procedures. When I asked when the vet was coming back she said he wasn’t . I couldn’t understand, because the vet hadn’t spent ANY time with us. We hadn’t discussed the cat’s leg at all! They were just trying to upsell an expensive dental procedure. Never went back.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Since we moved from Florida 9 years ago, we have been trusting the wellness & care of our beloved pets Kevin (RIP), Lucy and Eli to our family at VCA. Yes, I call them family because that is what we have become. In good times and bad times they have been there for us and our pets. From the front desk to the staff that work behind scenes big THANK YOU for your kindness, gentleness and love you always show for all of us. We love you all! And I must add that we moved about 30 miles away from Fairfax and we don't mind driving back to VCA University Vet Clinic for a wellness visit or a bath.

We are first time dog owners and have been taking our little baby Scottie to this vet since we got him. The client service here is outstanding, the friendly receptionists are very easy to talk to and remember the little things we share with them in good times and bad. VCA University is not just Scottie's vet but an extended family to us! Dr. Watson and his staff does an outstanding job at making Scottie feel comfortable during his visits. We know he can be a little hard to manage at times but they have always given us compliments on Scottie's behavior and are able to keep him calm during his visits. Thank you for treating us like a family and taking such great care of our baby!
