We've used Lynchburg Animal Emergency & Critical Care several times over the past few years and…read morecouldn't rate them any higher. We drive from Lexington even though there are emergency vets a bit closer. The last visit was when we recovered our male whippet Jaime, who had been lost in the woods for 11 days. He was covered in ticks, had lost ten pounds, and had several bite wounds. Dr. Tubman sewed him up, got rid of the ticks, and put him on doxycycline to prevent Lyme disease. Another time we had to rush our whippet Scout in when she collapsed in the yard. We had Dr. Tubman that time too. She opened Scout up, but unfortunately she had hemangiosarcoma and the tumor had burst. It was simply devastating, but Dr. Tubman handled the euthanasia with such kindness and compassion. Every time we have had to go there, the staff has been wonderful and doctors are exceptional. I give them the highest recommendation!

We showed up very late on a Saturday night with a super sick dog. The staff greeted us warmly, got…read moreus into a room quickly, and were very good at listening - our dog is reactive to other dogs, so as soon as a second pup came in to the triage area, they brought our dog back and finished the exam in the private room. Dr. Baker told us what she thought was wrong in simple terms, gave us options, and let us ask ALL our questions. Even though they had a couple urgent cases, we didn't feel rushed. They had all the meds on-site and we were home in under 2 hours. They encouraged us to call if we had any questions over the weekend (which we did, and they answered questions over the phone). And then to my surprise, they called a week later to check on our dog and ask how she was doing. I've been to quite a few emergency vets in the last 10 years and this one was one of the best. Highly recommend, especially if you're scared for your fur baby or it's after-hours.

Dealing with my quirky dog, JAXXON, is always tricky at a vets office. But our visits there have…read morebeen wonderful! I really appreciate how the staff goes above and beyond to make sure that my dog aggressive, drama queen has as good of an experience as he can. During Jaxxon's surgery this week, Mary kept us informed every step of the way. I really appreciate that. My husband and I were both so worried about him during all of this.

Awesome customer service, the office team along with the entire setting is beautiful, all that's missing is a pond with benches & picnic areas and shaded walking paths!! They did an outstanding job in spaying my kitty, Princess. All done at a very fair country price, no up selling. My kitty was not stressed in one bit and seems recovered in less than 24hrs. I encourage anyone to give them just one opportunity to impress you too as they've impressed us!

Our regular Vet. in Buckingham advised us that they couldn't spay our male puppy until MAY (Nov…read more now) which was unacceptable! Did some research and read the good reviews about Slate River. Called & was scheduled in to do the spaying the NEXT DAY! We were very impressed with the professionalism shown & are leaning toward making Slate River our permanent vet! Just wish that the vet. spoke to us post surgery.
