Bush Veterinary Neurology Service (BVNS) - Richmond

Are 5 year old Long Haired Daschund spontaneously had A disk in back go out.He could not use his rear legs and couldn’t feel anything in his feet. Things seemed pretty hopeless. 72 hours later the vet said only place available that could see him was in Richmond 2 Hours from are house. We went to see Dr Higginbotham and he ordered an Mri. Surgery to Fix this was only option. Surgery went well and Two weeks post op are Baby is starting to walk Again. It can still take a few more weeks to get back to new normal but we will take it. Thank you again Bush Veterinary Neurology for giving Oliver a second chance.

I'm forever grateful to Dr. Higginbotham and his team. My tabby Calypso had a slipped disc in her tail that was causing her pain and trouble walking, and she ultimately had to get her tail amputated. Dr. Higginbotham and his team were so kind, accommodating, knowledgable and truly cared. We felt in very good hands through the entire process. I would recommend them to anyone. Can't thank them enough!

Dr. Young and the rest of the staff were amazing! My sweet french bulldog Leo suffered from IVDD, he was losing all feeling in his hind legs and needed emergency spinal surgery. All of the receptionists did an exceptional job communicating with me, and Dr. Young was extremely knowledgeable and very realistic with me about the chances of different outcomes my dog had. All of them were so patient and kind during such a hard time! We are post op one week, and my dogs recovering even better than I had expected at this point! He is capable of standing on his own and has even been taking a few steps! Thank you to all who played a role in saving my boy - we are forever grateful!

Unbelievable that is the only word that describes Dr Young and his medical staff. We took our 3 year old Cocker in for a consultation with Dr Young last week for a disc issue. For some two weeks our baby would hide in the closet not eat hang his head down and would stumble while walking. After a visit with Dr Young he diagnosed it was a bad disc in his upper neck area pressuring the spinal cord causing nerve loss to his legs Dr young recommended surgery that same day to relieve the pressure off the spinal cord. That being said we were very concerned that our baby would never be the same do to complication that could occur with spinal surgery but we went ahead with the surgery and the next morning Dr Young called us telling us that our baby was doing fine and we could come get him that afternoon. On our way to the hospital all kinds of things were going though our heads (How would we carry him, How too feed Him, Would he have after affects do to the surgery) I can tell you now when they brought him out he was so excited, he wanted to jump again, wouldn't stop eating he was a different dog WE HAD OUR BABY BACK. I want to thank Dr Young and his staff for all the attention you gave our baby while in your care. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Young to anyone that is considering have spinal surgery to there fur baby. Job well done Dr Young.

They are not cheap but you know this is America so everything is inflated except wages of the average Jane. With that out of the way I'd like to say thank you Rachel, Amelia and Dr. H for all the expertise, care and kindness you have shown me and especially my baby these pass few days. I most appreciate the knowledge and directness from the staff after results were found. Unfortunately my girls options weren't what we had hoped for. I also appreciate Dr. H not going in on me for interrupting him while he was kindly telling me the worse news I've received in a very long time. There I was talking about my baby's teeth and he's trying to explain she holes filled with fluid in her brain. I think you said something like and I quote "I could care less about her teeth at the moment". I'm mentioning this to say that in my ignorance of the situation I really just thought she would just need her legs corrected. Never thought it would be such terrible news. So I thank you for your patience with me as well. Rest In Love Tutu
