Would not recomend. Our previous visit was marred by an unpleasant experience when the vet and the assistant wrestled our very calm young Lab roughly down to the floor and held him there in some wrestling hold before giving him a shot. The dog began to get upset at being handled like this - I'd never seen him upset, ever. He was oblivious to the injection. Never had an experience at a vet like this before and will not return here as a result. The Falls Church location is apparently temporarily closed, with no signage indicating this is the case, and nobody answering the phone. I have heard the McLean location apparently only has assistants, not vets on location, and the vets are doing video visits via Zoom or such. read more

I'm requesting a refund from services that we're questionable for my dog Brodie (Beagle Mix). He passed last night, we had to put him down. Your vets didn't do any standard protocol and check my dog at all for anything or requested blood work to be done. Never offered the services and we were rushed out cause it was more important to close on time. Diagnosis was some medication, based off of little information, and also that he had arthritis. Well it wasn't any of that and he got worse. We rushed to another vet that stated that he had lyme disease and Cushing disease and we bought the medications and everything after blood work. He got worse since the visit and we rushed him to the animal hospital where they told me that they ran both tests for Lyme and she suggested that it was something more serious and ruled it out. You guessed and my last few days with my dog was painful. He died, in pain, suffering for MONTHS. We paid for services that didn't even treat anything. You just collected the check and we went on expecting everything was okay and it wasn't. It was way worse. I will report this to the VA Vet Board for malpractice and negligence. I expect a refund if not I will pursue legal action on this business. Do better. You failed to do your job and now he suffered and we paid money for some bullshit. You guys deserve to close. I will come for you legally. read more

Value Vet - You can see the pain in his eyes. You are all scum. - Veterinarians Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Please avoid this vet if you love your pet. No only are they extremely difficult to work with (won't verify prescriptions over the phone/email with pharmacies, odd hours, miscommunication between vet techs & staff, etc.), they severely over prescribed my dog's medication compared to her size (almost 2x the recommend dose). I'm extremely upset and will never go back to this establishment. read more

Dr. Mark and team members are the best! They are familiar with my dog's needs and provide extra care to calm my dog's anxiety.

I took my dog in for a lump on his back. While I was there I asked for a worm prevention prescription. I misplaced it and called to get them to send me another one. They refused. Not only that, but they won't allow the pharmacy to call them to verify the prescription THEY wrote. Absurd. They tried to talk me in to coming by and buying THEIR version of the medicine and said they didn't allow third party pharmacies to verify the prescriptions with them because they can't verify the purity of the medication. Of course, this is just a way to sell a more expensive version of the medication that they can make a bigger profit off of. There is literally no reason they can't verify the prescription. I work during their business hours and cannot come by. They just care more about their profit than my dog, which isn't cool. read more

Easy to get an appointment, friendly and professional staff. Prices are much more reasonable than neighboring vets and they don't try to upsell you on everything. Highly recommend. read more

Value Vet - Veterinarians Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Please avoid this vet, if you really love your pets and care. They are the main reason behind our broken heart, and the constant emotional pain we suffered. The kind of pain we experienced make us beg all of the pets lovers to avoid them. Thanks, read more

No wait, clean facility, and very professional staff. Four stars instead of five only because I thought they were expensive.

My pup Noah, who I just adopted a few months prior, has a bad dental situation and needed to get it taken care of quickly. The place where we had been going for more than a decade, wouldn't get him in for a dental for more than a month and wouldn't give him antibiotics. No one else could take him quickly enough, so I got a recommendation from his rescue group to try Value Vet. The doctor took one look at him and dispensed antibiotics, which she said will give him relief very quickly until we can get him to a dentist. She recommended seeing a specialist and within days he was at the dentist. I was wary about a "discount" place. But the vet was excellent with more than 30-years' experience. She said they have a different business model with the goal of making pet care affordable so people can take better care of their pets. They don't take calls there, so you call into a call center to book. I don't know if you can request a specific doctor, but we were impressed with the doctor we got. They don't do any major stuff and refer out to good places like the Hope Center in Vienna for the specialty care. Care is great and cost savings are substantial. For example, Noah went to a veterinary dentist because he needs major exactions. Value Vet does dental cleanings, but not major extractions. Value Vet's basic dental cleaning with anesthesia is $250, while our prior vet place charges $525 plus more fees for extractions, etc. Because it's more affordable, people can do the dental annually on their 3 + year old dogs rather than every 5 years or more. She also said they will do a full blood panel for check-ups that costs a fraction of what we had been paying. We go to the Value Vet office in Falls Church City, but they have another one in McLean. It's worth the trip. Also, they are quicker in and out; they don't make you wait around. read more

Depending on availability of appointments, I take my pups to either the Falls Church or McLean Value Vets. The vets and staff at both locations are wonderful, positive, and competent individuals. Our dogs get personalized care from folks who remember their names. Importantly, the cost of their services is less expensive than what we had previously been paying to another vet operation. read more

Excellent vet! She took her time carrying out a thorough checkup on my 2 year old Ragdoll. Fluff got her rabies shot, some much needed light grooming, and left with a clean bill of health. I didn't give it a 5 star rating because the receptionist looked like she would prefer to be anywhere else but there. My 9 year old daughter was excited and cracking jokes, but she barely managed to crack a forced smile. She was polite enough, but not really into what she was doing. Still, I would gladly recommend to anyone without hesitation. read more

Checking around to get an appointment for my son's dog to by spayed, I was blown away by the differences in costs; anywhere from well over $800 at Ballston vet to $150 up in Laurel. I located Value Vet, read the reviews, called and checked cost ($350) and called for an appointment. Dropped her off, picked her up three hours later. No games on charges, great service, quick healing...what else can I ask for? If you're tired of area vets raking you over the coals on inflated charges and just want good, affordable pet care ... give these folks a try. We're very pleased and will be using them in the future for sure. read more

Love this place. Complete transparency about prices, happy to perform just the annual services I wanted (without pressuring me to add a dozen more I could not pay for), and even made everything super easy with Covid restrictions, etc. At our previous vet, we were always made to feel like terrible, cruel pet owners if we didn't do every single thing they said we needed to do. The folks at Value Vet were incredibly kind, professional, and extremely good at what they do. They extracted a troublesome broken nail, gave our big guy pills to stop him from licking the spot raw (a very reasonably-priced medicine that my previous vet did not tell me about or offer me the last time we had a bad hot spot situation), did the annual exam and minimum necessary shots on my request, all for far less than I have gotten out a vet's door in years. Highest recommendation. read more

We experienced a loss of our family pet, a cat, today. We brought him in because of loss of weight and shortness of breath, and he was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor explained all of the options, took his time with us, and was incredibly sensitive. We were allowed in for the procedure, and again the vet and the staff were so incredibly kind and understanding. We miss our little guy more than anything, but care and sensitivity that the staff took really helped. They care about the animals, but they also care about the people, too. read more

Our Kangal Shepherd mix had a broken toenail and was in obvious pain - they were able to see her same day as we called at the Falls Church Value Vet location. There was no waiting - they saw her right away and were able to trim all her nails and fix the broken one in a few minutes. She was given a cone and antiseptic spray and pills for pain. The total cost was about $100 less than what we would have to pay at Deepwood Vet (Centreville). They provided the same quality of care for a lot less money. We usually go to Value Vet of McLean but they had an earlier appointment at Falls Church. Strongly recommend this place for animal care. read more

This business is clearly deserted and still accepting online appointments. Went in for a 9AM checkup on Monday and proceeded to call the other location to inquire, but was told they did not have any openings until Wednesday. read more

While often half the cost of other vets, the care is half of what you'd get at another vet. I've had decent care and customer service there, however it has gone downhill. 45 minutes past my appointment time someone finally acknowledged me. Tried calling (customers wait outside in their vehicles due to COVID precautions) however, the number is a call center and I sat on hold for the amount of time I waited in the lot. When I was finally acknowledged, the tech lost hold of the pet carrier and my kitten was running loose and could have been hit by a car on the busy road close by. It was a terrifying few minutes before he was finally caught. Needless to say, I'm done. I'd rather pay more money and deal with better trained staff. My cat's life is not worth the few bucks I could save. read more

I am a first time cat owner of a 13 year old Maine Coon named Nigel. His usual vet was too far away to take him there for his yearly wellness visit. Valu Vet is close to the house and someone has referred me. I am so glad I made this.choice! The office and exam rooms were spotless. It was quiet and Dr. P was amazing with him! She has almost 30 years experience as a vet. She called me personally when his bloodwork came back. The pricing is great. His senior wellness exam that includes a full blood workup was only $98. I am so thankful for the pricing, but more for the amazing treatment of my sweet boy! read more

Came to this location (the other one is in McLean) today with my pug because of my limited availability with work. I was really happy they could work us in same day since her paw was swollen and bloody. The tech and the vet were extremely thorough, friendly, and caring. The facility is kept very clean. I also couldn't believe how affordable the visit was. Both Value Vet locations are fantastic and we will definitely return. read more

I've been to a lot of the vets and vet practices in the area over the last 7 years of pet ownership and I've never really felt comfortable with any of them. I wound up coming to Value Vet on a whim due to the reviews of the McLean office. They really are every bit as affordable (truly, their prices are fantastic) and compassionate as everyone else says. I've only worked with Dr. Cook, but I am so impressed by his knowledge and his practical approach to care. In the course of a wellness exam/rabies vaccine visit with my two cats, I expressed a few vague concerns with my older cat's weight and behavior. Dr. Cook hit on something - that wound up being cancer - immediately and has been absolutely instrumental to a clear diagnosis and assistance with a reasonable treatment plan. I have spoken to him many, many times via phone and email recently and he has been patient, easy to reach, and flexible. I have not experienced anything like this type of personalized care at other practices. The prognosis for my cat is shocking and very unexpected, but I know Dr. Cook is there to help make the rest of his life comfortable however long it may be. Also, Heather (vet tech) could not be any sweeter and more helpful. Suffice to say that as long as Value Vet is open, I will continue to bring all of my animals for care. read more

Five star rating: First and foremost, knowledgable, kind and loving to the dog: staff and Dr. No question there. No push to add more services like every other Vet. None whatsoever. Straight and to the point, honest and informative about every question. Refreshing. Dental cleaning, check up was half the price of others at $240 for dental with exemplary and kind service. There was no upcharge for a small tooth extraction. Previous vet in Arlington charged extra for extractions and for expensive boarding vaccinations I prefer not to subject Riley to. The bill was three times as expensive. Very pleased. Thank you Value Vet. read more

Upon my arrival I was told from a distance to take a seat and they would get with me soon. Understandable. However, this was my second day in a row being there as I had my dog in the day before for a few vaccinations and the vet tech wasn't pleasant on either occasion (blonde with glasses). Both days in a row I was told that the doctor was running late. What are the odds. I was put into a private room to meet with the doctor (Scott Robertson) and once again told that he was running behind. I brought my 14 year old cat in due to not eating and overall lethargy. About 30 minutes after my set appointment time I heard the doctor (Scott Robertson) enter the building and right in front of the exam office door heard "I know I'm late can I take a piss first?!". He then proceeded to come in and immediately repeat what the techs had told him directly outside of the door. He seemed a bit disheveled/rushed, wasn't really dressed appropriately for work in a vets office and immediately assumed my cat had liver failure and opted to run blood tests. Not a single vet tech wore gloves while handling my pet. Given that they deal with animals on a consistent basis with a plethora of different diagnoses you would think basic safety/hygiene protocols would be in place. I also noticed this during my dogs inoculations. I watched two techs handle needles and other animals without gloves. I opted to have blood work done and waited another 30 minutes for someone to come back and tell me that they PROMISED to give me a call the following day. I confirmed on multiple occasions and with several vet techs and the doctor (SCOTT ROBERTSON) that I would hear back in regards to the blood tests the next day. However SCOTT ROBERTSON made sure that I knew that he was off the next day and if I wanted to talk to a doctor about the results there would be a doctor available. Right... I should definitely talk to another doctor that had never seen my pet, that makes sense. Meanwhile, I was able to hear them just lounging around discussing their upcoming trip to the lake house outside of the door while I waited. I brought my pet in on a Wednesday. Thursday came and I received no call or results as PROMISED by the doctor and vet techs. I called Friday afternoon to ask about the results and was told that the results had not come in yet because of the WEATHER! It had rained lightly for a few hours that day, certainly not any sort of an excuse. I called again on Saturday about the results and was informed that they are closed Saturdays and Sundays. I got ahold of someone in the call center and they were able to forward me the lab results without question and the date on the lab work said that the results were finalized on the THURSDAY after I brought my pet in. So the lab results were already available when I called on Friday and was told they weren't available by the vet tech. The level of unprofessionalism, lack of care, and full on negligence from the staff at this location is something I have never seen in the 30 years that I have owned and loved animals. DO NOT BRING ANY OF YOUR ANIMALS HERE FOR ANYTHING. I appreciated the lower cost for vaccinations but realistically even those prices are what you will find anywhere else and the trash staff that they have here could not care less for your fur babies. I did finally receive a call TODAY, 5 DAYS after the initial visit, from SCOTT ROBERTSON in regards to the lab results after I had called 3 separate times to get them and had to go to the call center to get them. I had to inform him that I actually had to put my pet down immediately because of aggressive cancer and that I had to personally get the blood results myself and have them looked at by a completely different vet because he "was off" and no one did their due diligence to get these results back to me. Turns out all of her blood work was within the normal range for an older cat and it wasn't liver disease but cancer. So my cat refused to eat for the additional 5 days of waiting on these results and suffered because he simply couldn't live up to his end of being an actual doctor. They don't care about your animals here. The place is gross. The staff is inept at best and they do the bare minimum. I had to put my cat down today after spending another $1000 and having A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VET look at the lab results that I had to fight for because of this negligent practice. Spend the few extra bucks to go somewhere else because they don't know what they're doing here and your animals lives are not important to these lazy and unprofessional individuals. read more

I agree with other reviewers that Value Vet's doctors and staff are fabulous. Arlington has many excellent vet clinics, but VV's affordable pricing means this level of service is finally accessible. I've been here twice in 2018. Their business model literally saved my cat's life: Thanks to their $49 basic exam and $99 geriatric blood panel rates, I brought in three cats for advice on niggling issues that I didn't think rose to the level of a $200/animal 'normal vet' visit. Dr. Lisa Puscheck -- a cat expert with very warm manner and excellent communication skills -- provided common-sense advice for all three. She suggested we shift to wet food to help my cat who turned out to be merely overweight; advised that the hair loss by another was likely down to nerves and no systemic maladies. But the life-saving catch was in suggesting blood work for our 13-year old. It turned out that the weight loss I thought was due to arthritis or possibly cancer or failing kidneys was actually a case of hyperthyroid. I'm thrilled to learn Simba has something that is easily treatable and now feel terrible that I didn't have him seen a year ago. Thank you Value Vet for providing an "All Creatures Great and Small"-style clinic: warm, humane, excellent care that is affordably priced and thus accessible. read more

Very dissatisfied. We made an appointment for or puppy's vaccinations based on the idea that Value Vet would be cheaper than most vets for just getting the boosters. We never got to find out. My wife was five minutes late for the appointment so they asked her to wait, not a huge deal. However, they never checked the sign in and after she had waited in the car for nearly an hour she received a call that they couldn't squeeze her in and that they were running behind. First thought: well which is it, because she was 5 minutes late or because you're running behind? After she left work early, drove for 40 minutes, had the puppy puke in the car, and waited for another 45 minutes after being dismissed in the office. We called back to find out how 5 minutes would cost us two weeks on our puppy's shots, eliminating his ability to meet other dogs and wrecking our Thanksgiving plans.. The rep we spoke with was told my wife had been 20 minutes late and again that they were running behind. During COVID everyone is uncomfortable and customers are jumping through hoops and making sacrifices just like businesses. What transpires was completely unacceptable. Value Vet's poor and unhelpful response to our follow up demonstrates that they have enough business, so they don't need ours. Or yours. Go elsewhere. read more

Fantastic and professional service at a place that is professional and affordable. I reached out to Value Vet to inquire about a tooth removal for our dog after getting quotes from other nearby vets that were shockingly high. It was such a relief to get a thorough and complete review of his needs and at a price that was a fraction of what other vets in the area charge. We had the tooth done today and wow, just perfect. Couldn't be happier. read more

I was extremely satisfied with my first visit today! Above & beyond service! Both the nurse (?) and Dr. we're lovely. They were patient & answered all my questions thoroughly. I felt my cat was in good hands and the vet even took out a textbook to show me other examples of my cats symptoms & clipped her nails. Price is unbeatable. Will stick with them from now on read more
