The office staff and vets are extraordinary! They offer holistic options for those interested.

Sadly after 8 years of excellent care from this group and the many positive reviews i have given, I can no longer recommend them. Dr. Serini, on two separate visits, one for new onset seizures in my pup, the other for a cat who needed a pre op visits barely examined the animals by laying a stethoscope to their chest for a split second. Not at all what I was used to from VCA Doctors. The pup was at the visit because of the seizures and for labs that I had been told he wanted, he blew off the labs and told me just to get a video of the next seizure. He didn't chart on the seizures and the visit was listed as being for skin issues, he didn't even check his skin. I said nothing that visit. Same thing at the pre-op visit for the cat, barely an exam and he didn't want to do the labs! He wanted me to come back and have the labs drawn under sedation. I had to argue with him insisting that is what this visit was for. They did drew the labs. I left the exam room and told the people at the desk I don't like that doctor. My comment at the desk was later used against me by Tina who told me I have been a problem before. She lit my fuse, after eight years of singing their praises she said that. She later denied saying that, then she tried gaslighting me by making it my fault she said that. She said Dr Serini did nothing wrong, he is a great Doctor and I am the only one who has ever complained. His care does not meet what I have experienced for 8 years with VCA, it's very sad this has happened. My complaints after 8 years should have been handled more professionally. The final nail in the coffin is we are almost 30 hours past my cat having surgery with complications and no phone call from them to check on her. You can go anywhere for the level of service they are now providing and pay a lot less money, read more

Surgery was successful and done same day as consult. Surgeon was very nice and explained before and after thoroughly.

Treated my cat with the same love I would provide. They reviewed my knowledge of my cat, along will gathering any existing records. They provide an extensive holistic approach to your pets wellness. Kudos read more

I have been bringing all my animals here for many years and would not go any where Dr Marx is a top rate surgeon. The vets are have years of experience and are very talented and loving. Wonderful mix of traditional and alternative medicine - whatever you choose for your pets. read more

I love the staff and the vet, and was about to give a five star review. They were kind, attentive, they listened. You can tell they very much care about pets. However, when I tried to order a prescription from Chewy, I was told that VCA does not work with them (won't answer their calls to confirm a simple prescription) and that I have to return to the vet, get the original prescription, and then mail (not email) the prescription. Who mails anything these days? I do...for work...not the Vet. I know the response will sound something like this, "We're sorry, but VCA cannot know how Chewy's medicines are purchased or stored...blah blah blah". Not having it. I love my dog too much. read more

The staff are all friendly and supportive and the veterinarians have good credentials. They provided quality and expensive care for my cats and dogs. Unfortunately, due to the higher than average expense and frequent reminders for services and extra services I was not able to meet all of their requests. I had 4 cats and two dogs at the time. I have never missed a yearly wellness exam, dental exams, or vaccinations. Unfortunately, since the pandemic circumstances changed and I had not used their services as frequently. They did nothing to try to help make an appointment for my dog who is suffering with a painful first time ear infection noting that it had been a while so they wouldn't be able to see him for at least 6 weeks. If this how to run an animal care focused practice I am glad to find another place that will tend to an animal in need instead of punishing the pet and the owner for unknown circumstances. read more

A lot of these 1-2 star reviews are complaining about their prices (the price shouldn't be the review; it plays a factor, but the service is fantastic, which isn't even considered,) and leaving with items they don't want. If you don't want to purchase something, then don't. They print out an itemized visit cost sheet for you before anything is even performed on your pet. If you think your pet doesn't need a vitamin B12 shot, then have them take it off. I will agree that VCA is an expensive vet, and you can find cheaper vets or clinics easily. However, I left my vet (who cost about half of what VCA charges,) to have Dr. Sharon Marx be my dogs' vet. She is SO compassionate, patient, and has helped me with any problem I've had with my 2 dogs. She's performed a growth removal from my dog Onyx's eyelid while he was 100% conscience. (Granted, my dog was more well behaved than any seeing eye dog I've ever met- he was Therapy Dog & ESD certified, and he would have jumped off a cliff if I asked him to- that's the level of trust we had for each other.) The "surgery" was still impressive none the less- the growth had started to touch his eyeball. I'd say ninja level skills were needed to do what she did. I brought my soulmate Onyx in to be euthanized on December 4th, 2017. The sun was going down and it was cold, but they still let me use our picnic blanket we took on so many fun adventures, and we laid together under the tree in the middle of their yard. He passed away with me holding him in my arms and whispering in his ear that he was the best thing to ever happen to me, that I would never love anyone the way I love him, that he was my world, and that I'll love and miss him eternally, but that I understood he wasn't happy anymore, and he needed to leave. He held on to be my best man in my Vermont wedding, only 6 weeks prior. The next time I was there, picking up his ashes, I brought a black lava stone with "Onyx" written in silver on it. I asked the receptionist if I put it under the tree where he passed, if she'd just take a peek at it now and again. She said that she absolutely would. The next time I came back (with my dog Copper) they said that they actually redid the plant bed under the tree to make it a stone memorial. They added angel dog & cat sculptures, and several people had put their pet's names on stones, and placed them with the angels. I don't know if the idea spawned from me and Onyx, but either way, I'm glad they did it. My dog Copper is autistic. (Yes. Dogs can be autistic, and the severity varies, just like with people.) He needs a few minutes to warm up to a new person- especially if they're taking his blood or temperature. I've worked with dogs for 13 years, so they let me restrain my own dog, which works out much better than a stranger grabbing him. ***NOT VCA***My low cost vet that I left; the first time I had Copper there, they heard one growl and slapped a muzzle on him. I'm not anti muzzle, I've been bit more times than I can count, and I understand that muzzles are literal life savers, but they didn't even attempt to get him to warm up. They legit walked in and just wanted to grab him without even letting him sniff them first. Onyx went there for years before I found VCA, and the owner of my old practice always treated him like he was a car or some other inanimate object. He never greeted him or pet him. This one time, he walked in, I put him on the table, and he immediately popped his finger up his anus without any warning. Onyx cried, the vet didn't care. Onyx was pretty tough for as dainty as he was, and he very rarely cried. The vet just had no finesse, or bed side manner I guess you could say. That was the last time I went there. Onyx was a literal genius, top 4% of all dogs, he understood full sentences, and couldn't have been a more well mannered dog. You shouldn't treat any dog like it doesn't have feelings, but especially not a dog who understands almost every word you say. ***NOT VCA*** Dr. Marx let Copper warm up to her, she talked to him and fed him liver treats. No muzzle needed. I held him, he got his blood taken, and everyone was fine. You are paying for compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding. I also personally like that they are 1/2 holistic; I can tell them the food I feed and they actually know what it is. They know holistic medication brands and are familiar with things such as CBD oil. If you have a million questions, they're more than happy to answer ALL of them. I've never felt rushed during a visit. You and your pet are their only concern during your visit, and they always call after a couple days to check on my dog(s), and to check on me after I lost Onyx. Sorry for the novel, but I had to boost their rating. They're much better than 3 stars, and I wanted to make it very clear as to why. read more

We love the VCA Animal healing center. The staff is always sweet,professional and accommodating. The doctors always remember us by name and treat us like family. I know there are a few negative reviews on here, but we have never had a bad experience. Give them a chance and see for yourself. read more

VCA Animal Healing Center - Veterinarians Near Me - Langhorne, Pennsylvania

I really wish I could give this place a good review. I wanted to like it - I really did. We did SO much research to find the right vet for our new puppy, and VCA seemed like an obvious choice. I will say, the people themselves are incredibly friendly and helpful, and I don't doubt that the information they gave me was accurate. That's the good. Now, for the bad. First of all, I was in the office for a full 3 hours. 3 HOURS! I know there's a little paperwork associated with a new patient, but come on. My puppy wasn't vaccinated or anything - he was weighed, his temperature was taken, and the vet felt around his organs. The rest of the time we were sitting in the exam room just waiting. Second, I had the "free first visit" coupon, which was not honored. I spoke with the assistant and the vet about the coupon AND about their "wellness package" which covers some of the puppy visits/vaccinations/fecals. The cost for the package was exorbitant, but the vet encouraged me to take the package over the free first visit coupon. (I'm still not really sure why the two are mutually exclusive, but whatever.) I refused, choosing instead to research the options and talk it over with my boyfriend. For that, I was given a pretty weak salesy ultimatum along the lines of "welllll, okayyyyy but I can't guarantee this will be available next time you come in...." It's a service you offer and it's plastered all over your website. I'm pretty sure if I want to sign up later, I can. But I digress. Ultimately, I essentially paid $190 for my puppy to be touched and looked at for a few hours. Third, I booked an appointment for the follow-up visit, which would have included the vaccination. When I called to cancel the day before, the receptionist said she couldn't find the appointment anywhere on the books! Thank god we cancelled, because if we had shown up for the appointment only to be turned away for their mistake, I would have lost my mind. Bottom line: I am all about giving my dog high quality care, and I'm okay paying a premium for it. What I am NOT okay with is being taken advantage of because I love my pet. I'm not saying VCA is some awful shill of a company, but I, for one, will not be bringing my pet back. I encourage you to make your own decision (which is obviously why you're here on Yelp), but just be aware of the somewhat shady operation here. read more

This veterinary group is exceptional. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is compassionate, caring, professional, kind and cutting edge. They have alternative methods as well as traditional treatments tailor-made for your special companion. I literally put the life of my beloved cat of 15 years in their hands and she came back to me better than ever!!! Healthier, happier and ready for more cuddles. I highly recommend VCA for your most precious one. read more

There just aren't enough good things I can say about VCA in Yardley PA, The staff here is incredible! I brought my 9 year old cat Pancake in for an emergency visit because she had literally lost half her body weight in a little over a week & was loosing patches of hair. I was pretty sure she was suffering from diabetes & was right. Poor girl would have died if it weren't for the Heroes who work at VCA, pandemic or not they go above & beyond! Pancake had three paws in the grave when I brought her in & I was ready to say goodbye to my best friend, but thanks to Dr. Madhu Munthala & the loving staff Micky, Jamie, Amy & all the other animal lovers I didn't have to!! I lost my job during the pandemic & didn't know how I'd pay for all the medical bills, visits, medicine, etc., but they we're absolutely amazing & willing to work with me & you'll never believe this.... They even found a donor for the insulin I needed for Pancake!! Not only are they amazing, but so is the community of people who take their pets to VCA! I could go on & on, but just know it's like taking my cat to family there & even though you have to wait in the car due to Covid they are so helpful on the phone too & willing to answer all your questions & go out of their way to do so. It's like talking to an old friend when ever I'm on the phone with Amy, Heather or any of the other staff there. I love my vet so much I even brought a little stray kitten in that my housemates & I have been taking care of for a little over a week. She had adopted us, but due to Pancake still recovering & the other four cats & a dog in our house I just couldn't keep her. I was willing to foster her of course, but as fortune would have it one of the Vet Techs fell in love with her & was willing to adopt her. This is just how amazing & loving the staff is at VCA!! Please consider making VCA your choice when choosing a veterinarian they are just absolutely the best people in the business!!! read more

I brought my Siamese cat who has mammary cancer with a bad prognosis to the VCA Animal Healing Center. Dr. Braz was exceptional. She took time to exam my cat and advocated for both holistic and traditional treatments, such as chemo. Though I had a bad prognosis she was cautiously optimistic in her suggestions which included low carb and low fat dietary changes, and treatments to boost her immune system while undergoing chemo. She also texted me over one of the weekends to check on my cat's progress and offered helpful advice in getting her to take the supplements. The price for this care was very inexpensive and the realistic, yet hopeful, approach to my pets care was so comforting during this very frightening and sad time. I highly recommend Dr Braz and the Center! Caryl. read more

I love this place. It's not your typical vet, it's specialty care, it's not a mill; they spend a lot of time with you and your animal is their number one priority. What I like best is that they try holistic practices first and if they don't see results they use traditional methods of care. You really do get the best of both worlds. I see that other reviews seem disgruntled with the cost but you're getting so much more then just the (often unnecessary) string of vaccines and a boot at the door. So evaluate what you really want from your vet experience; if you're after wellness for your animal and alternative treatment then I highly recommend the Animal Healing Center. If you just want your animal to stop bleeding and be able to eat then I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

I started going to Animal Healing Center after my beloved Brittany went into renal failure and I was told by one vet that she only had a few days to live and another that there was literally "no hope". Then I searched the internet and found Dr. Braz at Animal Healing Center. She never promised me anything, but I took every suggestion she had seriously and my pet's care became my #1 priority. I stuck to the supplements Dr. Braz prescribed and practiced accupressure at home. My dog lived over 4 more happy years. To look at her you would have no idea that anything was wrong inside of her. When the time came for my dog to be laid to rest, the love around her from all the staff, was amazing. My other dog is a patient of Dr. Marx and I literally can not say enough good things about her. This dog is a senior now and ended up requiring surgery last December. Dr. Marx preformed the surgery and she was so wonderful through the whole process, giving me updates along the way. The type of cancer is likely to regrow locally and Dr. Marx spent enough time during the surgery to get terrific margins. So far (keeping fingers crossed) no regrowth. The bottom line, it might cost more than other vets but if you want an office that is truely compassionate about your pets care, Animal Healing Center is your place. Everyone from the drs. to the aweome techs (Kim, Elizabeth,Shannon) are the most caring people I have ever found in a veternary practice. read more

I cannot say enough about the knowledge, wisdom and compassion of Dr. Sharon Marx at VCA. I have brought my house rabbits to her, as well as my beloved but highly protective German Shepherd to her, and she treats each and every animal with the same degree of intense compassion and wisdom. Dr. Marx helped my aging GSD with arthritis, and her acupuncture and holistic remedies (which were _not_ expensive) extended the quality and quantity of his life. My shepherd was once misdiagnosed with DM, and I brought him to Dr. Marx immediately for a second opinion (this was before the genetic testing was available). Dr. Marx thoroughly and accurately ruled out DM, and then aggressively treated the advanced arthritis, which was the cause of my boy's pain. From 'pocket pet' to 'the big guys' I recommend Dr. Marx most highly, and with the utmost respect. read more

I've had pets all my life and been to a variety of vets in the area, and I have to say that it had been quite a few years since our dog had seen a vet. We were living elsewhere when our dog had a bad reaction to her vaccines, and after moving back to Bucks, I didn't know where to take her that wouldn't force us to go through it again. We tried 2 other vets for our other dogs. One missed a diagnosis that led to our dog's death, and the other didn't even use a sedative before a scheduled euthanasia due to a tumor, and it was traumatic. I was worried about the lumps our remaining dog had been developing and checked out some reviews and found the Animal Healing Center. Our first appointment was amazing. They spent well over an hour examining my dog, getting her history, cuddling with her, etc. and we had the last appointment of the night. They took samples and did xrays under a mild sedative do as to not stress her. They listened when I described her horrible reaction to her vaccines as a pup and there was no pressure to do it again. My dog has anxiety and though she barked a lot at everyone, they were great with her and didn't seem to mind. They are pricier than other vets, but I don't mind the expense for good thorough care, and as an added bonus, they are able to do direct billing with our pet insurance! I've been pretty thrilled so far and I hope we have finally found our new vet. read more

My first experience at VCA was far from pleasant. I got there at 5:30 for a 5:45 appointment and was not seen until 7:15. The staff did not explain the reason for the delay until 7:00, which was after 90 minutes of sitting there. When I finally got into a room, the girl at the front desk came in THREE times to tell Dr. Braz that her next appointments were there. So as a brand new patient, they made me wait 90 minutes before having the professional courtesy of telling me what the wait was for, and then had the audacity to interrupt my consultation THREE times. Oh AND I was charged $25.00 more than I was quoted over the phone. I'm sorry but 3 strikes and you're out. This is a no brainer and I don't think anyone would be happy with this unprofessional service. I kept my mouth shut while I was there because I wanted to see how they would handle advising me of the wait, etc. If I could rate my experience a zero I would. I may not be a vet, but my time is very important to me. Waiting 90 minutes is unacceptable and I will never, ever use this place again. A complete waste of time and money. read more

Very overpriced. You go in for a simple thing and walk out with all kinds of useless balms & holistic elixirs and are out several hundred dollars. I never went back after a charge of 240.00 dollars for a simple scratch. read more

In April of 2010, I rescued a mix breed dog that was just left at an animal shelter with no background or medical history. Within a month, she started getting sick, I took her to a different vet in West Trenton, and they didn't give any diagnoses, but loaded her up with shots and medicines and sent her home. She continued to get sick, so I changed her food, which helped, but not a cure. The last straw was when we ended up at CARES animal hospital late one night in August after she started vomiting and lost control of her bladder and stool function. The next day, we went back to the other vet, and they told me to give her Pepcid. Not being satisfied, I began researching other vets, and found VCA Animal Healing Center. At our first visit they sat with us for TWO HOURS taking Lucy's history and asking about her behavior. They gave her acupuncture and laser light therapy and collected her urine. Turns out she had a urinary tract infection, probably from waiting to be let out of the cage in the animal shelter. The poor dog was suffering for months, and they saved her life. They did prescribe an antibiotic, and gave me a homeopathic remedy for her upset tummy. I also asked about her diet, and I said that I wanted to put her on a homemade diet until I was able to research dog foods and find one that didn't upset her tummy. Dr. Gabriel gave me tons of information and recommended several books. Now Lucy is back on regular dog food, gained a healthy 7 pounds, and is happy and healthy! I am so grateful for the folks at the Animal Healing Center! read more

Excellent experience! I was looking for a vet that was open to alternative healthcare for animals and this place fit that perfectly! It's a great blend of traditional and alternative veterinary care. All of the vets that I have seen have spend a lot of time with my dogs and made sure to explain everything before the visit was over. Some services offered are chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy and Chinese herbs. Highly recommend! read more

They are great! All of the staff are so caring and helpful. My dogs are always immediately feeling better after leaving the Animal Healing Center. read more

This is the best and only area clinic truly qualified to treat fragile pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs. I started as a cat client in the early 80's when I sensed that my teenaged cats needed something more than conventional annual shots and teeth cleanings, and a newspaper article about the opening of this clinic started me on the path of holistic veterinary health care. I have seen AHC through several transitions during those decades, but from the inception as a holistic veterinary clinic under Deva Khalsa VMD to today as a VCA hospital medically supervised by Sharon Marx DVM, there have been so few and slight glitches along the way that I cannot imagine seeking service anywhere else. Every veterinary clinic has ups and downs through the years and management and staff changes, but this one remains reliably trustworthy and capable. On occasion you may experience delays, you may have to wait while another patient's serious case is addressed but when your pet has an acute need you, too, will garner the time needed for support. Best care, best service, best health and yes, they even accept Care Credit. Client since mid 1980s ... that about says it all. read more
