VCA Alexandria Animal Hospital

For nearly 14 years I took my dog to this office. They always did an amazing job of caring for him. In his last day with us, they were incredibly supportive, caring, and gave candid advice as I faced the difficult decision to put my best friend down. They could tell it was incredibly hard on me and even went as far as to send me a personal condolence card. I cannot recommend them enough - the doctors and staff are phenomenal.

I had an outstanding experience with VCA Alexandria and I highly recommend their services. From the moment I contacted them, they immediately accommodated my cat and provided exceptional care. The team at VCA Alexandria was considerate of the expenses involved and provided transparent information, ensuring there were no surprises. Dr. Natalia Sardanovski, the veterinarian who attended to my cat, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the treatment options, and answer all of my questions with patience and clarity. Their compassion towards my cat was heartwarming and truly appreciated. The entire team at VCA Alexandria demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. The care provided surpassed my expectations, and I am genuinely grateful for their dedication. If you are looking for a veterinary clinic that offers outstanding care, I highly recommend VCA Alexandria. Their compassion, professionalism, and expertise make them an excellent choice for your beloved pets. Thank you, VCA Alexandria, for providing exceptional care to my cat and for going above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. Keep up the fantastic work! Best Mohammad

These guys saved us. We needed a certificate for my rescue Frida to fly on Alaska from DC to SF. We called a few weeks before our flight and they said they could help us and they did. I was impressed by the staff and how cool and collected they were during a super busy time of the day. Everyone was very helpful and upbeat which calmed us down. We’re home after our flight and everything went super smoothly on the flight back. Flying with your best friend in cargo can be stressful but these guys made it much better. I really think they’re great.

I am splitting the difference with my review. Dr Terrio and staff are wonderful but expensive….5 star. Dr Bidwell is awful and expensive….1 star Dr Terrio is lovely and very professional. I had reservations about advice on diet but otherwise felt she provided high quality care. Both my dog and I felt comfortable in her approach to my dog. It is hard to get an appointment with her. Dr Bidwell, who seems to cover urgent care a lot and has a lot of availability, has zero bedside manner. He was klutzy in his approach to my dog and with me. My dog did not like him. I found him rude, blunt and with a lack of ability to make a pet feel comfortable in being handled. Staff is lovely and accommodating. It is a rather expensive vet practice with bills usually a few hundred more than other vets I have used.

We’ve come here for the past 4 months and they have treated both my babies Kingston Alexander Honeysuckle-rose and Olivia Snowbelle-haven with the upmost care and attention. Given that since COVID many pet owners have experienced a surge of attention needed for their fur babies, I’m glad to see that VCA has also come through as well. Our vets Dr. Terrio, Dr. Suarez, and Dr. Baxter and all the supporting staff from front desk to vet attendees, have all been compassionate and understanding and informative every time we visit. Happy to have our pups taken care of by kind and attentive people.
