Birdneck Animal Hospital

Dr. Johnson has been my dog's vet since she was 8 weeks old. Indy is now 10 years old, and for all of those 10 years Dr. Johnson and his staff have been nothing but professional, supportive, kind, empathetic, and exceptionally talented at making both myself and my little partner in crime feel safe and secure. Over the years they have seen us through: dental cleanings, skin infections, back and hip issues, and tumors that definitely weren't cancerous but you can best believe I'd already convinced myself they were and was having an internal meltdown. You can trust Dr. Johnson to be honest with you and to help you make the right decisions for your pet's health. Their care plans saved me a ton of money over the years (so they are definitely a worthwhile investment) and even without the plan, the services Dr. Johnson provides come at a fair and affordable price. In short: You won't find a better veterinary practice in Virginia Beach and the surrounding area.

We’ve been taking our 2 year old pup Birdie to Birdneck Animal Hospital since we got her, and continue to be amazed by the warm, friendly and expert care from Dr. Johnson and his team. Dr. Johnson is always kind, extremely knowledgeable, and engaging. We recently had a scare where our pup needed an X-ray to figure out what was going on with her stomach. The X-ray results didn’t come back until well after Birdneck Animal Hospital closed. Cate stayed after hours to wait for the results, and drove to our house in Norfolk at 8pm to personally deliver the medication needed. Talk about going above and beyond! I cannot begin to describe how meaningful it was to us, and appreciative we are to have Birdneck Animal Hospital and their team in our corner!

Dr. Johnson and his team are so patient and kind!! They explain the services and pricing before administering any treatment. I trust his opinion and always do what he suggests. They work around schedules to get your fur baby in as soon as possible and are understanding if things come up then have to cancel. I currently have 2 kittens they have been caring for and have used them for my 2 sweet cats before. Hands down the BEST Vet in the area.

I love Birdneck Animal Hospital - I got the recommendation from a neighbor who has a golden named Sailor. When I walked in, Sailor was featured as the pet of the month with her picture on the wall which was so cool! It is very easy to make an appointment there, and I was able to talk to Dr. Johnson and go into the exam room with Ziggy, my golden mix. We are new to Virginia Beach, and this is the first time I’ve been able to speak to a vet and go into the exam room since we brought Ziggy home almost two years ago which was amazing! Everyone was masked, so I felt very safe. Dr. Johnson took his time with Ziggy and made sure all of my questions were answered. From being in the room, I remembered some things I would have not mentioned if I was unable to go back with Ziggy. Dr. Johnson is a very caring doctor, and it is evident in how he treated Ziggy with kindness and compassion. I highly recommend Birdneck Animal Hospital - I’m very excited to have found such an amazing vet and staff including Amanda to care for Ziggy!!

I scheduled a checkup for my senior dog (13 yrs old) and we got to see Dr. Johnson who was incredibly caring and gentle to my aging pup. His assistant was just as impressive as she kept him calm and had an overall great read of the room, if my dog got antsy or uncomfortable, she would adjust and redirect him. Dr. Johnson gave us wonderful advice and offered affordable treatment plans as well. My experience at Birdneck Animal Hospital was excellent & it’s honestly a relief to have found them.
