I developed a relationship with Columbia Pike Animal Hospital a couple years ago. My fur baby was…read moreattacked by a much larger Akita. Needless to say he lost the fight and needed emergency care. I called 4 nearby hospitals and they were booked solid. I called this facility and they promised to be ready to help upon arrival. I drove over an hour to utilize this animal hospital, staff met us at the door as promised, then quickly proceeded to treat him. They showed so much care & compassion! A few days ago, I noticed my pup refusing to walk even during nice weather days. His genitalia was dark red & inflamed. I took the voyage back to the hospital and received the same level of care that I remembered. They have an onsite pharmacy, so we went home with 3 Rx & an e-collar. He's healing slowly but surely. We have pet insurance and a wellness plan elsewhere, but I will pay out of pocket for the top tier service & 24/7 coverage that I receive here.

As a veterinary assistant with over three years of experience working in animal hospitals, I can…read moreconfidently say that Dr. Oleg Khomutets demonstrated a concerning lack of competence and professionalism. It felt as though profit was prioritized over patient care, particularly when dealing with elderly clients who may not fully understand medical decisions. While I was out of town, my mother-in-law brought in our family dog, Walter, after he fell and became paralyzed from the waist down. He was diagnosed with IVDD, yet no one at this hospital knew what stage he was in. After returning home and doing my own research, I determined that Walter was already at Stage 5 IVDD. I then contacted the veterinarian I work with at a different hospital. Based solely on the information I provided, she was able to conclude that Walter would most likely never walk again due to not receiving surgery in a timely manner. At no point did anyone at Columbia Pike explain the urgency of immediate surgery or that delaying it would drastically reduce his chances of recovery. Instead, we were told that three weeks of medication and strict crate rest would be sufficient. When I later called seeking clarification and guidance, the only recommendation given was to pay for an MRI to obtain more information. Additionally, despite knowing that my mother-in-law would have difficulty administering medications, no one offered basic suggestions such as using pill pockets. As a result, she resorted to giving Walter chicken nuggets to get him to take his medication--something that could have negatively impacted his health. This experience was deeply upsetting and highlights serious issues with communication, medical guidance, and patient advocacy at this clinic. If you truly love your pets and want the best for them, avoid this place at all costs. EDIT : I called 3 times today in the span of 11 hours asking for medical records and still have not received any.

When I have called with a question, they are understanding and caring. Once I called worried because I thought my pup had eaten an aluminum wrapper and they were very helpful and even followed up to see how Vida was doing. The staff is friendly and attentive. They always call the day before to confirm your appointment. The vet techs also seem to really love the animals. The prices, although not cheap, seem reasonable. My pup had some matting around her eyes (poor thing) and they trimmed her facial hair at no extra cost. Those are the little things you appreciate especially considering how expensive it can be to have (and sometimes spoil) your pet.

Care was adequate for two different dogs over six years or so. But during one visit, we asked about a lump on our dog's side. The tech said she'd let the doctor know and took our dog away for the exam without us. Which is weird. We eventually met the doctor when she returns with the dog, and the doctor is talking about a completely different part of the dog's body from where we'd asked about. Fortunately, it wasn't serious, but playing telephone like that without notes or photos seems risky. They also stopped providing boarding.

When I told people Miles had 35 teeth removed, they were shocked. So was I. I did not consent to…read morethat scope of surgery. Miles was 14, diabetic, and still bright. I brought him to Fairfax Animal Hospital for what I understood to be a small, single area procedure that Dr. Catherine Curry and I discussed The first thing I said at consult was "Miles has diabetes." It never came up again. Pricing was quoted at $2,800 to $3,000. I explained I had $2,000 on CareCredit. I was told "we can do that." No clear discussion of staging. I understood this as a focused treatment with maybe a few extractions The only debrief I ever got from the surgeon was a text: "He did great. We took 35 teeth! He has 6 left." No surgeon conversation at pickup. A tech handed him over. No diabetes specific plan. No warning about the critical tripwire for a senior diabetic after oral surgery: if he refuses a meal it is an emergency. That rule was never said, written, or confirmed Discharge said appetite loss for 24 to 48 hours was "not unusual." They prescribed carprofen, an NSAID that can cause nausea and is labeled "give with food," with no anti nausea med and no "hold if not eating" instruction. I went home believing recovery would be hard but safe. The dangers Miles was in was not communicated at all to me! When he refused meals, I thought it was normal recovery. I was never told how the rules changed for a diabetic senior after such a surgery. By Day 11 I called and reported weakness and minimal intake. I was told to email because the doctor was busy. No ER escalation advice. Miles died the next day at home In hindsight: no candidacy or risk disclosure, no consent to a scope change, no surgeon debrief, no diabetes focused plan, no tripwire warning, and meds without safeguards. Had I been told the truth, that as many as 35 teeth might be removed and that a missed post op meal is an ER level emergency for a 14 year old diabetic, I would not have agreed to surgery In my opinion, this was not just poor communication, it shows a disregard for obvious diabetic red flags. I feel grossly misled, and Miles paid the price

Do not trust your dog with this lady. I took my dog here to get groomed a few years back and I want…read moreto share my review, so pet owners are aware. My dog came back with rashes and my dog had a stomach ache and barfed out yellowish liquid. I asked her why my dog had rashes all over and she claimed my dog was allergic to grooming which is not correct because my dog has gotten groomed at other places with no problem. I also can't figure out why my dog was sick after the groomed. She is also very expensive and charges the most in the area and when you charge $130 for grooming you expect better service. She won't allow you to see the grooming facility itself so you don't really know if your dog is being treated well or what condition your dog is being groomed in. -Just a few things to think about before taking your dog here.

When we had our initial consultation, it was definitely an elongated process; I really believed that there could have been more listening, as we felt that we were sitting in a lecture. With herbals, it's a trial-and-error type of situation, in which the combinations administered can constantly change, based on the response. Unfortunately, we felt that the medicine did not have any positive impact, and the follow-ups felt rushed and confusing. I think this place seems to be more for fur babies who are already in good health and whose owners want to explore additional services, just for the sake of it. It's nice to see other clients have had more positive experiences, but ours was super disappointing. Plenty of parking available. +plenty of parking available

She is suffering a serious spontaneous brain bleed. A neighbor recommended I call this practice and ask to have it filled through their dispensary or for guidance on where to purchase it. The woman who answered the phone said I would have to make an appointment first. Okay. I understand. It would be easy to coordinate with my vet if they do not want to sell directly to me. But clearly they don't work with other practices. However, even if I had the money to spend (in addition to thousands spent this week on an MRI and emergency care), I don't have time to wait on an appointment. I also live an hour away and don't want to put her through the stress of another car trip. But then I asked for suggestions on other outlets since I was having difficulty finding it online. One would think this practice would be expert on sourcing alternative medicine in the DVM or online and happy to give guidance when they are unable to help. One would think a receptionist would take a message and pass it to one of the nursing assistants or vets. Nope. She literally told me to google it. Legitimate businesses are often happy to offer some guidance in a serious situation when they are unable or unwilling to directly provide a service or product. That is, unless money is their only concern.
