Woodside Equine Clinic

I had an exceptional experience with Woodside Equine Clinic when my horse, Ponyo, required urgent medical attention. Dr. Noll, Ponyo's assigned veterinarian, displayed a level of dedication and professionalism that left a lasting impression on me. When Ponyo suffered from a nail in her hoof, it was a worrisome and urgent situation. However, Woodside Equine Clinic stepped up to the plate and saw us promptly, even though it was late on a Wednesday night. This quick response was incredibly reassuring during a stressful time. Dr. Noll's expertise and care were evident from the moment we met her. She was attentive and thorough, ensuring Ponyo's well-being remained the top priority. She conducted x-rays of Ponyo's hoof, allowing us to gain a clear understanding of the extent of the injury and the appropriate course of action. Throughout the process, Dr. Noll demonstrated genuine concern for Ponyo's health and recovery. She took the time to answer all of our questions, patiently explaining the treatment options and potential outcomes. This level of transparency and communication was invaluable, as it empowered us to make informed decisions for Ponyo's care. What truly stood out was Dr. Noll's willingness to work closely with us to develop a personalized plan for Ponyo's recovery. She took into consideration our concerns and preferences, ensuring that we felt comfortable with the chosen treatment approach. This collaborative effort instilled a sense of trust and confidence in the clinic's expertise. Even after Ponyo left the clinic, Dr. Noll continued to provide outstanding support. Her responsiveness to our follow-up questions through email was exceptional. It was evident that she genuinely cared about Ponyo's progress and wanted to ensure we had all the information we needed to facilitate a smooth recovery. Furthermore, Woodside Equine Clinic's dedication to their patients' well-being was evident when they called two days after Ponyo left to check up on her. This thoughtful gesture showcased their commitment to providing comprehensive and compassionate care throughout the entire healing process. In conclusion, my experience with Woodside Equine Clinic and Dr. Noll was outstanding. Their promptness, expertise, and compassion made a stressful situation more manageable. I am grateful for the level of care Ponyo received and the support we received as her owners. I highly recommend Woodside Equine Clinic to any horse owner seeking top-notch veterinary care for their equine companions.

This vet clinic has been a true blessing! My horse showed a very very swollen irritated eye over Thanksgiving, I called every vet in the area. Most vets did not answer me but some of the ones that did said they could not take an emergency because I was not a client, even my usual vet did not reply. That was NOT the case with Woodside! I called and we had an emergency vet on the phone within 5 minutes, and within the next hour that emergency vet (Dr. Montague) was at our farm and treated Secret on Thanksgiving day. Dr. True came for our follow up today and she was just as wonderful and diligent! Secret’s eye is so much better and I have a happy horse again! I will 100% be using Woodside as a full time vet now after the wonderful care showed for my horse. I have since had an ultrasound of my mares ovaries with Dr. Stanford and he and his assistant were wonderful. The assistant was kind to my mare, and Dr. Stanford was thorough and explained everything he was doing and saw. He helped prescribe a medication to help my mare and now she will be on it full time because she does so well! Woodside, Secret and I truly thank you!!

Great care and service. My horse had an abscess which would not go away. I was concerned it was developing into something requiring antibiotics, surgery, etc. The vet I used for 7 years could not be reached (Thursday before 4th of July) and I was referred to the Woodside Equine Clinic and Dr. Côté by my trainer. Dr. Côté was quick to come, even though I had never been a client of Woodside Equine Clinic. My horse was embarrassingly bad, but Dr. Côté was patient and persistent. She took x-rays, dug out the infection and treated the hoof all while my horse acted ugly (very impressive since he's extra-large.). I was given clear instructions on after care. Dr. Côté followed up with a call after a few days to see how her patient was doing. My horse is now healed and I have a new vet.

The staff here is VERY rude. There were some disparaging remarks made to some of my fellow boarders. One boarder was told her weight was the reason for her horses problems. The horse had an abscess. What does weight have to do with an abscess 🤔. The prices are ridiculously high! Who wants to pay that much for a individual to come out and be rude. The front office staff is not helpful, they are rude, and dismissive. I recommend Virginia Equine, the staff and doctors are great!

Brought my horse here for a colic emergency late at night. The staff was waiting for us when we arrived. The facility is immaculate, staff is knowledgeable, caring and professional. Thery have a large team of veterinarians, vet techs and other staff who take great care on providing top notch service to its clients. They provide traditional vet services as well as 24/7 emergency, surgical and therapy services. Fortunately for us, we were able to return home after a few days.
