dr. laurie has been our vet since we moved to the area in 2010, on the recommendation of a mutual…read morefriend, back when she was operating as a mobile vet. the brown dog, or Little Brown Dog as the vet staff knows him, loves dr. laurie. of course, this is coming from the dog version of grumpy cat, but it's worth keeping in mind that LBD was a rescue with some definite psychological baggage. dr. laurie and her staff have been great in dealing with his anxious/sulking/defiant personality, and are very quick and efficient in completing the less than enjoyable tasks. (seriously--we had some blood work done a few months ago to confirm a thyroid condition, and she was done before he even figured out what was going on!) since she has moved to the main street veterinary clinic, we've visited a few times for follow-ups, vaccinations, and recurrent skin infections. the clinic itself is bright and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and we've never had a problem getting an appointment quickly. the fees and medication charges also seem really reasonable, especially for the quality of care they provide. i can't recommend dr. laurie enough! we're sad to be relocating, because it will be difficult to find someone as caring, professional, and conscientious as she's been!

This new owner is very hateful. He has seen my service dog for over a year. Since he took…read moreownership, he said I was rude to the staff and argued over 80 cents. He also stated I'd have to go see another vet. This is all slandering and untrue. I was short 80 cents and was going to go to my car to get the 80 cents, but a wonderful staff member said she would take care of it. This Dr denied my prescription for my service dog because he said I was looking for a new clinic. Why in the world would I look for a new clinic until he denied me the prescription for my service dog. Yes, I said I would have to look for someone else if he refused to fill any medication for my service dog. I did have to take her to Mountain View Humane to get her spayed due to my disability and lack of income. I thought at one time Blacksburg Animal Clinic was the best! This is not the case after DR Watson bought the clinic. He actually spoke with me on the phone as well and was very hateful and domineering. I tried to explain and he said he would send my medical records to whoever I wanted, then blocked my number as I only had a few hours to choose a new vet. I then emailed him to try to explain because he wouldn't give me a chance to speak on the phone when he called back. I said I'd have no choice to report him to the state board and DCA. He just gave me a hateful answer and then proceeded to tell me to do as I see fit. It's like he doesn't care! Who wants a vet like this?

I called them up and fortunately they had a drop-off slot available. When I dropped Millie off the staff was very friendly and welcoming. By the early afternoon one of the veterinarians rang me, and went onto express she had contracted an ear infection. He administered some medication, and explained I shouldn't have to worry moving forward. When I picked her up she was clearly feeling much better. Since the visit Millie has been just fine. I'm most thankful for everything the folk at BAC did for her. They are officially Mill's vet! Thanks again y'all!

I brought my dog in to be evaluated for vomiting and clearly informed Dr. Matt McCormick that my…read moredog is reactive. I requested and placed a muzzle before the exam began. During the physical exam, instead of asking me to assist with restraint, which has worked well with other veterinarians, Dr. McCormick began pinning my dog firmly against the exam table in an attempt to control him. My dog became extremely distressed and ultimately urinated and defecated during the restraint. The level of force used felt excessive given that his anxiety and reactivity had been clearly communicated. I had to intervene and remove my dog from the situation. I understand that reactive dogs can be challenging to examine, but I expected a more collaborative and low-stress approach. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this clinic.

They did not acknowledge my concerns about my pup. They insulted me by saying that her symptoms…read moremust be caused by her food (which they don't sell) or my well water (which tests clean) or Lyme (which was not warranted). I was told to change her food and come back in two weeks. I went elsewhere and got a diagnosis of a serious disease which I had suspected all along. The new clinic listened to me and answered my questions. The correct tests were ordered, and I finally got treatment. The new clinic always provides written discharge notes. I had to call multiple times to get the test results from Companion. I felt like I was a bother - not a client. Dr Fabrizi there was the only one who did at least acknowledge the symptoms.

She sounds and looks scary, which makes most people tense up and that makes the situation worse. This usually happens even at vets offices. But for the first time in her long life she was made to feel comfortable at a vet office! Both the vet tech (so sorry I don't remember her name - she was WONDERFUL) and Dr. Lynn were so good with her. The got down on here level, approached from the side (something we will advise others to try going forward) and were patient and gave her treats. After just a little bit of working with and on her, my nervous dog happily left the exam room WITH Dr. Lynn without even looking back at us. I've NEVER seen her do that ... even with people she knows. Now for the important stuff. Her stomach is better. They did testing, but before getting all of the results gave me some things and suggestions to help her at home. And it all worked wonderfully. She's gaining weight again. Her stomach is good. She sleeps through the night again. AND as an added bonus, after months of trying everything under the sun they also gave me a solution to the fleas that actually worked! Which is a huge relief for us and the dog. Love this place. Prices weren't the cheapest but very reasonable for all they did.

This is long, however, worth reading…read more I want to start by saying everyone here is extremely friendly. We have taken multiple animals here over the years and always had pleasant experiences. That being said, whenever we are there and there is an issue, I never feel we get clear guidance on what to do. It almost always seems like it's a list of things we can do and let us choose rather than professional recommendations. Almost like, how much money are you willing to spend while you take shots at fixing this? This really came to a head here recently when I feel diagnosing our puppy with kidney disease was poorly handled and almost mishandled in my opinion which has resulted in a 1.5 year dog having stage three kidney failure. After years of only having one dog, we decided to finally get another and we went and got an 8 week old Dalmatian puppy. Immediately we realized that he would not stop drinking water (to the point he would throw up) and had more frequent than normal accidents in the house. When bringing this up, we were told that they could do a blood test, however, he is too young to have kidney issues and it is most likely a disorder that makes him obsessed with water and he will grow out of it. We continued to bring this up on every visit and were told to limit his water and he would grow out of it. Finally, when we came in and he was around 1.5 years old, they decided to do blood work and found out he was in stage 3 kidney failure. They recommended an ultrasound and sterile urine sample which we did. Based on the findings they said he should immediately be put on antibiotics because something they found points to a possible infection and we were prescribed over $100 in antibiotics. It was also determined his bladder wasn't normal size and things seen on the kidneys point to issues. We were told time is of the essence and we had to get him on the antibiotics. They said special kidney food was important but never made it seem urgent. If they had, they would have tried to send it home with us that day. A couple days later they called and let us know an infection was not an underlying issue. Honestly, it seriously felt like it was about the money and not properly treating our dog. They then sent a referral to go to Virginia Tech to see a specialist. Virginia Tech would not be able to get us in until 9/25. Months later. This is where I really start to get aggravated. They claim every second matters but recommend us to a place that can't get us in for months. Luckily my wife knows a veterinarian and they refer us to a Specialist who is in Vinton and was an Internist/Professor at VT for over 20 years. He got us in the following week. Why in the world would Roanoke Animal Hospital not have referred us to him? There is absolutely no way they didn't know about him. Unfortunately, he did confirm Stage 3 Kidney failure and gave us some recommendations. One thing he said was that no matter what, we have to let him drink as much water as he wants. If not, it can start to cause issues with his organs. Because we do not have bloodwork from when Pongo was a puppy, I have not clue if he has always been in Stage 3 Kidney failure. That being said, what if he WASN'T? What if they had recommended we do blood work and we found out what was going on early and immediately did stuff to slow down the progression? How much damage has limiting his water for 1.5 years at the direction of the Vet done? Now my family has to deal with the fact that the puppy we love might only be alive until he is 3 or so. The ball was dropped. And I hope this really makes Roanoke Animal Hospital rethink things and take a much more proactive approach to stuff. Nothing can fix this, however, I hope this prevents another family from having to deal with the same heartbreak.

When I went up to the counter, I told them the name, and was asked "are you waiting here"? I said yes, and nothing else was said. I stood in front of the counter not understanding if I was done checking in or not. After 10 minutes, another customer came in stood behind me. I decided to take a seat and wait and see if they needed more information. After another 10 minutes, a Tech called me into a room. Both the Tech and the actual Vet were very nice, and professional. When the exam was done, I was told to wait back in the reception area. After a few minutes, another Tech came out and hand me notes from the doctor. I waited for another 15 minutes before the first Tech came out and asked why was I still there. I replied that I was waiting to pay. That's when a woman from behind the counter said, "oh, come up". I paid up and left. While no one was rude or anything like that, I just think their customer interaction leaves something to be desired. Maybe it's just me? I'll try one more time to see how it goes.
