Our little dog is very sick with numerous chronic conditions. Among them are Type-1 diabetes, Cushings disease, conjunctivitis, etc. The Type-1 diabetes led her to develop cataracts. Now she has to wear a Freestyle Libre monitor, and has to get eye surgery. We have been to many Vets/Animal Hospitals across the country. The medical director at Fairfax Animal Hospital, Dr. Anna Hodges is the most qualified, compassionate and knowledgeable vet we have seen. She also has a network of specialist vets she collaborates with to get our dog the best medical care possible. All the staff members we have had the pleasure of meeting & working with at Fairfax Animal Hospital also give our dog the best care they can despite the trying medical cases they see every single day!

VERY happy with this practice. I called for an appt as a new patient and they were able to see us the next day. Dr. Goldfarb was wonderful, and the staff are super friendly, welcoming, and very thorough. That means a lot, and we really appreciate the excellent care. Many thanks to all of you!

My 9 year old cat, Monty, had dental surgery. Dr. Kadam removed 9 teeth. She explained everything and worked with me on the price. The staff was very friendly and professional. This is the second time I've used them for dental work and I recommend them.

Don’t bring your animals here! I regret bringing my husky here. My husky was hospitalized over one weekend and required follow up blood work. Both my fiancé and I called and scheduled an appointment with this vet for Wednesday. When we brought our dog in, they said that we weren’t on the calendar but they’d try to squeeze us in. Front desk lady was very nice and I honestly thought someone made a mistake but was appreciative of them still trying to find a solution for us. However, we did not realize that would compromise the level of care our dog would later receive. When the vet tech came out to bring our husky to the vet, she was unfriendly and both my fiancé and I felt like she was having a bad day. As we are waiting in the lobby, our husky lets out a yelp. I assumed she was just being vocal as huskies can be talkers. Then I hear 1, 2, 3…5 cries! The other woman in the office was also concerned…. My dog had been in the ER for 2 days and did not cry ONCE! And now she is crying??? I got up and went to see my dog. I open the door and the vet was with my dog behind the tables and would not let me see her. I was saying that I assume she is scared and I can comfort her while she takes blood….The vet demanded me to leave and go sit down in the waiting room and that they are almost done…I felt that my dog was not being treated right. They had already began taking blood and our dog really needed these labs today in order to monitor her. They finished up taking the blood and the vet told me that “normally they take blood from the dogs neck, but because I didn’t have an appointment they were doing from her legs.” I was very upset when I heard that as my dogs legs were already sore from her ER visit and the vet seemed to be indicating that my dog got a different level of care because “we didn’t have an appointment.” We later found out that their staff accidentally clicked the wrong month and that’s why our appointment was not on the Wednesday slot. Anyway, I don’t even mind an accidental scheduling error but do NOT treat an animal differently because you didn’t expect this animal on your day. I would have preferred transparency and been told to go somewhere that was safer for her. I’m unfortunately now writing this review to warn other owners. I’d choose a different place if you have the choice to. I’ve had dogs for over 30 years and you can see that I don’t write reviews, unless I feel it’s necessary for others to know. Update - I checked and this was the animal hospital we went to.
