We've been a patient of Dr Clifton and his predecessor at TCAH (Dr Davidson) for 20 years. He and his staff are top notch--friendly, caring, and professional. We have run the gamut of services from new puppy vaccinations through end of life services (no fun). The new facilities are first rate and a lab that appears state of the art. I've given up on complaining about fees (they are all expensive), Dr Clifton is very up front and confirms costs before treatment. Good work and thank you TCAH! read more

I am new to the area and had to find a doctor for my 2 babies, Toodles and Peanut. I read lots of reviews online about this clinic and decided to give them a try. I truly love that prices are posted online and that you can call them about anything & they try their best to be very transparent. I have no regrets!! Dr. Clifton is an incredible veterinarian; he was kind, silly, friendly, and very helpful to inform me about everything he felt was necessary to tell and to answer any of my questions. I felt very relaxed while there and I think the girls felt the same! The staff is amazing; they're so kind, excited, & fun to be around. Overall, the energy at the clinic was great, friendly, and I left very satisfied! I'm very happy to have found a great doctor and team for my babies. Prices are very fair, especially for the area. read more

Doctor Clifton always take amazing care of my dog Owen, he is knowledgeable and funny all while making pets feel as comfortable as possible. He and his staff exercise patience with my Owen who is not a fan of nail trims. This facility is very close knit and makes you feel like family. I've been coming here for a few years now and highly highly recommend bringing your pets here. read more

This vet is horrible. I left in tears today after they canceled my dog's follow up appointment without my knowledge because they didn't like the private feedback I sent about the provider. Now my dog is overdue for his vaccine booster because of ego. The vet is a jerk and condescending. When I asked if he was always like that I was given the answer that he's "not a morning person" so if you want to be treated well either make your appointment in the afternoon or just go somewhere else. read more

I love this vet. I went with my dog (who lived to 18) and now my cat. The vet gave Thomas a thorough examination and took the time to really listen to my concerns about him. I thought the amount charged was reasonable for the amount of time spent with us, and the tests Thomas had done. The vet tech also went over the itemized bill with me before I paid at the front desk. Everyone I met was friendly and engaged, and the facility looks fresh and clean. Definitely recommend. read more

The most professional vet in the area for sure!! Dr Clifton and his team are the best. With professional diagnosis, Dr Clifton does what the best doctors do -- not rushing to conclusions but hunting for the root causes. Thank you for curing my cat Toby!! read more

We went here to get our foster puppy spayed. They are the partner of wolftrap animal shelter. I am happy to have known this organization that helps animals find their home. We were scheduled 730am and we got there first in line and for 1hr of waiting I was able to get my foster puppy back! They offer free coffe, tea and choco drink in the lobby. They have this big aquarium with cutie fish in it. :) read more

That is completely untrue. I questioned why I was being over charged for a full vet visit when you had done a complete exam less than a month prior and all he needed was a vaccine booster. I never said I didn't want to pay anything. If you had discussed the matter with me directly as a professional should, you would know that. Reducing my rating to 1 star as you are now blaming your staff for your rudeness. Your front office staff were in fact very nice and helpful. read more

I visited Tysons's Corner Animal Hospital today with our six month old kitten. At the time I made the appointment, I asked what the total charge would be for the visit and was also advised to bring a number of items, including a fecal sample. The appointment was on time, which was very nice, and the receptionist was very friendly. I was immediately put into a room with my kitten to wait for the vet. After a short time, a staff member came and advised me that they were taking my kitten to the back to do the exam and I could not go with her. I wish I had known this in advance. I had a strong preference to stay with her to ease her distress. After the vet returned with my kitten, he answered all of my questions about feeding, diet, growth, etc. At the conclusion of the visit, I was given a bill that was nearly twice as much as I was told it would be. The fecal analysis was not included in the visit fee, which no one ever told me. I felt like I had unknowingly been "unsold," which I tried to avoid by asking questions about charges upfront. read more

Great Vet. the late Lala (15) and our puppy Loki love Dr Clifton and staff and are thriving under their care. our Cat Min also accepts visits to the office as slight nuances as any self respecting 19 year old cat would - all in all she's super well cared for! John always interested in knowing more and helping our critters. He also was great when we were fostering a litter of 8 puppies and their mom. Couldn't have done that w/o John and staff. He often works closely w/ Wolftrap animal rescue. Thanks Tysons Corner Animal Hospital!!!! read more

When our family unit relocated to McLean from Hawaii about 18 months ago, we were pretty anxious about finding good people who could help us care for our pets on the east coast and started yelping. We're so fortunate to have found Tysons Corner Animal Hospital. I'm completely convinced they love Spartacus and Crixus. Hanna and Marisa are the best. Easy five stars from us. read more

I was so extremely pleased with our first experience here! I got a 4 month old puppy on Monday and we had no trouble making an appointment for his first evaluation. I was able to call yesterday for a time today and they emailed me the estimates for any kind of procedure he may have needed. When we arrived it was such a quick easy process and I was able to sign up for their puppy payment/procedures plan, making things easy for payment today and going forward when we need booster shots and neutering. It basically paid for half of the yearly cost just in today's visit. The staff was so nice and helpful and I feel like Tobey is in great hands going forward! Thanks Tysons Animal Hospital read more

I have been taking my 4.5 month old Pembroke Welsh a Corgi puppy here since we got her at 8 weeks old. Dr. Clifton and his staff have always been kind and helpful. They took care of all of our puppy vaccines and were also able to quickly help us get a bout of Giardia and a skin infection under control. They have an in-house wellness plan that is fairly priced and I would definitely recommend to anyone with a new puppy! read more

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Clifton and the whole staff. They were helpful with a very nervous dog. They are efficient and caring which is a great combination. First time appointment with both of my dogs and their process made this work for us. Highly recommend! read more

Still miffed at myself and mad at the vet who phoned in our requests to have Arden fully checked out months before his passing last year this day. Maybe it would have change nothing or maybe Arden would still be with us. Our Vet (of 30 years) had retired and after due diligence we thought we had found a good vet. Maybe he is but it takes a good staff and organization which is where in hindsight we can say this practice sucks! read more

The staff at Tysons Corner Animal Hospital was absolutely wonderful. They were able to fit me in an emergency visit. My dog, Happy Hogan, had eaten a t-shirt and had started throwing up and they wasted no time in letting me come in last minute. Dr. Clifton was so very helpful in explaining all of the possible options that I could proceed with. I really appreciate all the time and effort the team at the hospital spent with us making sure that we understood each step, I will definitely be back. read more

I feel like I was tricked into an exam I didn't need to get. I called and was very specific- my cat had an annual exam exactly a month prior and was due for a booster vaccine. The vet I went to before was far away so I wanted to switch to this vet as it is closer to home. The girl on the phone was very sweet and told me that they could do the booster no problem and even confirmed my kitten's age. I came in for the appointment today and was told my cat wouldn't be getting the booster. I asked why and they said I waited too long and she was too old now (which cannot be true because I followed the directions I got previously from the vet). I tried to explain this and the staff still insisted that she couldn't get the booster but that they could still test the stool sample. They took me to an exam room and took my cat to do a quick exam in the back (don't vets normally do the exam in front of you??). I ended up paying $150 for this. Immediately after this appointment i called my old vet AND another in the area who BOTH confirmed that she should have gotten the booster and were confused why the vet wouldn't do it. I feel so stupid for not trusting my gut because now I'm out $150 for an exam I didn't need. And they knew this as well, I explained I had JUST taken her for an exam and only wanted the booster. Also, they asked me why my cat isn't spayed and suggested kittens should be spayed at 8 weeks?? I called around- this was also untrue :/ I'm so confused why they are doing this and now I have to find a new vet EDIT: not sure how to reply to the owner but he is correct, I did not raise the concerns while with him since they had made it clear at the front desk that they weren't going to do the booster. Also didn't raise my concerns since I wasn't sure if what I experienced was normal- until I called around and got completely different answers. Plus the only reason I made an appointment was for the booster and it would have been nice if the girl on the phone told me that my kitten was too old since she did ask for the age and told it was the second booster and supposed to be 3-4 weeks apart. It's a shame she didn't mention it then, because if she did I would have found another vet. I'm not going to ask for a refund because I did let them do the exam when I should have turned around and left when they said they wouldn't do the booster. That's on me. read more

This is hands down one of the best veterinary offices I've worked with. The Dr. is kind, intelligent, and always happy to explain further, as well as make arrangements for the better of the customer. I've been bringing my cat here for 3 years and I don't look forward to moving away. read more

New Client Review. Out of the handful of folks I interacted with there - Jenny is GREAT! She's the 3rd star in my review. Everyone/thing else - 2 stars. It took 3 days to make an appointment and when I got someone on the phone, scheduling took 10 min. That was an experience in itself. She asked me a bunch of information about my dog and then ASKED ME TO EMAIL IT AFTER [insert facepalm]. Made appt for 4:30pm, they were late by 45 min. I understand they had a lot of walk-ins but I MADE AN APPT because I had a work meeting after that I ultimately had to miss. I paid $70 for a new exam fee and they forgot to check her teeth which is included in exam and I specifically asked them to do over the phone. I also asked them to check her ears, not knowing they'd charged $67 to clean them. If I had known that, I would've politely said no thank you and done it myself. Dr. Clifton didn't do a single thing I wasn't already doing last 3 days. Tip: buy Malacetic Otic Cleanser online [you can get it from Amazon for $20 free prime shipping] instead of the $37 they charge and do it yourself. Don't be a schmuck like me. Upon checkout, they said they wanted to see me back in a week for Dr. to check my dog's ears. I asked if that would be another exam fee of $70 and they said it'd be a re-check fee(?) of "$40-something"... ...they'd charge another "$40-something" to see if her ears have gotten better in a week?? My last vet would have never charged for this or $67 for an ear cleaning! If you're ever in LA - go see Dr. Nassi @ Beverly Robertson Vet Clinic. He was amazing and would only charge what was fair. I felt like they didn't value my time here, just my money. I also haven't seen my dog this anxious since the first time I took her to the vet years ago. read more

As first time dog parents to our 9 week old puppy Yogi; Tysons Corner Animal Hospital was the first choice recommended to us by our friends. The staff was extremely polite and helpful and answered all our questions patiently. We were seen by Dr Clifton, who examined and suggested us proper guidelines to take good care of our baby's health and wellness. Also the staff is prompt on calls regarding any questions we have; which proved really helpful when I cut his one nail short. They do their job exceptionally well!! read more

My vet for my dogs and cats. Dr. Koch is my vet and she is the BEST. I recommend this hospital and her especially. She is really caring and understanding. If you are looking for a vet, I would go to her! Denise...the assistant there is rude and unprofessional. After having one interaction with her, you may give up the amazing services for a more friendly place read more

2013 Edit. I am giving 5 stars to T.A.H. For excellent veterinary service. My pooch (and only child) got very sick. I visited after work and didn't have an appointment, but Dr. Cook was very kind to take me in and check my dog. Dr. Cook was very nice and compassionate. He asked questions, checked my dog's stomach, temperature, received a stool sample and administered some medicine. My dog looks much better just two hours after having a shot and medicine. Thanks Dr. Cook! ________ 2011 I was looking for a suitable place to board my dog on yelp, and wasn't satisfied with any of the reviews I found of other places in my area. I personally visited Tysons corner animal hospital a day before boarding my dog to check out the installations and staff was friendly. Pros: + They are boarded my dog overnight for $25/day (Although my dog overstayed by 1 hour, so I was charged two full day rates instead of one) + dog areas are very clean (no odors, no messy dogs at sight) + dogs get 2 walks per day (15 mins each) + TCAH provides dog food, or can feed your dog its own food brought by you, at your instruction. + Crates are spacious, clean, furnished with a dog-comfy mat and water + Service is friendly and thoughtful. I wish I could rate this item separately, but the installations or the walk time is much more important to me-my dog. Cons: - Walks are too short and dogs remain crated 95% of the time. 2 walks might not be enough... My dog was desperate to go as soon as he got out, and after that did it THREE times more! - Walks are in a small grass patch in front of the building and back... Not much exercise. - Walks are too far apart, one in the morning, one at night. Additional walk at noon is $6 extra - No play time or doggy socialization read more

For the other reviewers who commented on Tysons Corner Animal hospital- it is NOT A DOG WALKING/BOARDING facility (do you see boarding in their title?)- it is an animal hospital and an extremely good one at that. We have a young dog with epilepsy, anxiety issues and allergies and Dr Koch and Davidson have been wonderful, going above and beyond in their care for Buster. We are new dog owners and they are patient with us and answer all of our questions because understanding how to deal with a special needs dog can be stressful. The front desk and other staff members there are friendly and I would recommend this vet for your pet. read more

I had been going to Tysons Corner Animal Hospital for the past 3 months with my puppy, but after this week, I will never return. This past week I went in for a quick checkup and they decided to draw blood for a routine test. This botched blood test resulted in two unsuccessful attempts to draw blood from her jugular veins and my puppy started to bleed profusely from her neck. It resulted in an immediate trip to an emergency room. My dog's blood tests proved that she has no issues with blood clotting and this whole incident is due to an incorrectly performed blood test. I have since taken my dog to another veterinary clinic to get her checked out and the vet told me that jugular venipuncture should only be considered if ABSOLUTELY necessary. This was no emergency blood test on a hurt dog, this was supposed to be a routine sample. Insult to injury, I had to pay for the exam that resulted in huge ER visit bill, that ultimately proved my dog is healthy. I wouldn't trust them with a pet rock, let alone my young puppy. read more

I took my dog, Henry, here to give him a once over and check for a skin issue that he had been suffering from for quite awhile. Dr Cook and Dr Bissell both looked him over and suggested a medicated bath and some topical medication for him. Here we are two weeks later and Henry is back to his normal self. No itching. No sores. I cannot tell you how relieved both Henry and I are. Also, there is a great groomer, Hayley, who does an amazing job with Henry, a king charles cavalier. Thank you Tysons Corner Animal Hospital, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! read more

The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. They take their time to make sure you are happy and understand the treatment and care for your pet. Dr Clifton was extremely compassionate when we had to make the hard decision to put to sleep our beloved dog of 17 years and gave us time to say our goodbyes and we were never made to feel rushed and all of the staff were incredible. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone. We travel 20 miles to see them as I couldn't imagine anybody else giving the care and understanding that this practice do. read more

Dr. Clifton is fantastic with my cats, Razzy and Patches! He does a superb job with everything from nail trims, and general overall check ups to important teeth care including a cleaning to treat moderate gingivitis and tooth extractions.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the staff and the treatment at Tysons Corner Animal Hospital. I came here with my recently adopted pup having no reference to whether or not it was a good place to go. We are always seen at the time of our appointment, the doc always explains what he/she is going to do and what our treatment options are. They have a great monthly payment plan that has saved me hundreds of dollars! I'm extremely pleased and would recommend this vet to anyone and everyone. I recommend having a backup vet for when your animal is sick as they don't keep sick slots open and are frequently booked. read more

Both my cat and dog see either Dr. Davidson or Dr. Koch. Both of them are so great that I get an appointment with whoever is available. They do not overly treat them, so I trust them and I usually get what they recommend for the extra care, such as dental cleaning, etc. My cat Mello has been teeth cleaned twice because she had swollen gums and tar tar buildups. Her teeth and gums look clean and healthy now and she hasn't lost a single tooth yet, although she's already 11 and 1/2 years old. They also offer boarding and grooming services on site. I used to go to the groomer for my dog but I found another place as it was really hard to get an appointment at my convenient. I always put my dog Speedy in the boarding with them, and you may ask for an extra walk in addition to scheduled walk twice a day with an extra charge. Feeding special food (e.g., food brought from home) and giving medicine are also extra. Bathing is also optional but it is free if the dog(s) stay for more than a week. The charge for boarding dogs is $18 and for cats is $15. The costs for vet services are a bit pricy but I think it's worth for the quality services. read more

Dr. Clifton and team are my favorite vet practice around. They take great, gentle care of my dog, who is very shy and timid. Even in a scary situation, like the allergic reaction my dog had today, they are kind and professional and effective. I would recommend to others for sure! read more

I've been a client for about 11 years. My cats have seen Dr. Koch most of their lives. She is very patient with my cats even though they are feisty with her.

Your pets will be in good hands here. read more

No veterinary practice can be perfect for everyone. Tysons Corner Animal Hospital is as good as it gets within a reasonable drive for me. A. Affordable pricing: Less expensive than Banfield (Petsmart) and other places nearby. B. Clean and safe. It is obvious that everyone who works here loves animals. When it comes to the important things about taking care of a dog, this place checks all the boxes. C. I like that they also work with local rescue organizations (Wolf Trap for example) and run Spay/neuter clinics for rescue animals. They also were recognized for their participation in "No Buddy Gets Left Behind", the SPCA program that transports Dogs from War-Torn Iraq to the U.S. D. I usually do not have a problem scheduling an appointment. I think the greatest difficulty I had was that I could only get a 2 PM appointment for a follow on visit. I've read the comments with less than 5 star reviews. I've only worked with Dr. Clifton so I do not have any feedback on any other Vet's in the practice. There have been a couple of times when I've shown up late and they accommodated me. Conversely, there has been at least one time when I showed up a few minutes early but have had to wait over 30 minutes for my appointment. The staff was apologetic and explained that they had a dog who came in for an emergency procedure, which caused them to run late. I haven't experienced issues with mixed up paperwork (someone complained about this). It is unfortunate that they do longer have a groomer on staff. They only have 3 large boarding kennels (I have two large dogs so this is important. Also I don't know how many small kennels they have), so I probably will not board my dogs with them. I would also say as a pet owner, it is important to read up and understand your own pet's health care needs. If I disagree with Dr. Clifton, then I bring up my concern and we work things out. For example, I was worried about my dog dehydrating and I was pushing for an IV. Instead Dr. Clifton recommended subcutaneous solution and an antacid to calm my dog's stomach. We agreed on his approach. It worked and was less expensive than my approach. Pet's cannot advocate for themselves, so as an owner it is important to advocate for them. Again, no vet office is perfect for everyone. I give Tyson's Corner Animal Hospital 5 stars, because they are compassionate and affordable. I absolutely believe that pets in the McLean/Vienna area are better off with Tyson's Corner Animal Hospital. read more
