    Prince 1/30/2023
    Marycarmen A.

    On Monday, January 23, 2023, I took my cat, Prince, to this facility due to a tragedy that happens that evening. He hid in the dryer and was stuck in the dryer and for 5 minute. When we got him out, he was alive and panting really hard. We took him to Virginia Veterinary Center of Fredericksburg for the emergency. After checking in at the counter we were escorted to a waiting room. The receptionist came in and requested us to sign the estimate of $1400 to treat him . We accepted the charges. They took Prince away and Doctor Wolosshin came into the room and informed us that he won't survive and the new price to treat him would be $5.000. She told us that no matter what, Prince won't survive even after treatment. She described to us, in gruesome detail that his organs where boiled and scrambled, his brain was a fried egg and his blood was like hot oil. The only option left left was to euthanize him because he was in discomfort. She said she was Prince's advocate and did not want to see him suffer. My husband and I agreed. My husband asked to go see him prior to the procedure. He saw that Prince recieved fluids via IV and was recuperating in the ER room. He told the the technicians not to euthinzed him. Dr. Wolosshin came into the room very upset. She told us it would now be $7,000.00 if we do not treat him immediaatley. It was very akward how she kept talking about money and when we asked what tests she ran she could not give us and answer. She instead to us she assumed that was the condition he was in. She told us if we take him home, he was going to die of a stroke and it was inhumane to watch them die. She continued to pressure us to treat or euthanize him. Also she was going to notify the authorities because if we took him home he was going to be in placed in an abused situation. Regardless of her inadequate comment, we told her that we will take him home and take him to our veterinarian first thing in the morning. Dr Wolosshin threatened that she will inform the Fredericksburg county government ( police) and monitor us on our actions with Prince. Dr Wolosshin only provide fluids for Prince and a phyiscal. She didn't conduct blood work in checking his vitals. She informed us that, regarding a treatment solution, he will not have no chance of survivability. Thanks God we took him home and to our Vet ,He is fine and recuperating this trauma. Everything that she told us wasn't true and only assumptions. If my husband didn't went to see him and change our mind, Prince will be dead by now. I feel that your facility prey on people an distress and emphasized the possibility of ending the lives of pets without a sustainable reasons and without any test done . Furthermore the treat is what it make me more upset and they reported that they euthinzed Prince that night. According to many customers this seems to be a repetitive common practice . I spoke with The Dr Donahue in charge of the facility on 2/2/2023 she told me that she agrees with the Dr Wolosshin behavior who attended Prince ,according with Dr Wolosshin Prince was euthanized on site, which was false. This was a TRAUMATIC HORRIBLE experience and Dr Wolosshin took advantage of our emergency to nickle and dime us and Dr Donahue turned a blind eye to these behaviors. They assumed and conducted no blood work or xrays to confirm thier diagnosis. Pet owners should be very cautious with this place. If you own a pet, make sure you find and honest and reputable place to take them. Your pet will have a better chance to survive an emergency. Pictures of Prince today !

    I will forever be grateful to the vets, the techs, and ALL the staff at VEG. A few weeks ago, our…read moresenior kitty collapsed and was having a severe respiratory crisis. From the moment we stepped through the door, every single person around us leapt into action to save our girl. I have never experienced an emergency to this severity with a pet and was an absolute mess myself when we brought her in. The team worked to quickly stabilize our cat and were so sensitive and kind with my husband and I as we were grappling with extreme anxiety and anticipatory grief. Dr. Watson was the veterinarian we dealt with in those first critical hours, and she somehow struck the perfect balance between professional and warm. She sat with us while we talked through the possibilities of what was happening, the plan for diagnostics, and the decisions we should be prepared to make. It felt like being taken care of by the most knowledgeable friend you've ever met. Once we determined our cat was going to make it and be hospitalized over night, we literally felt so comfortable leaving our girl in the care of the wonderful staff. They told us multiple times that we could call at any time for an update, and we took them up on this offer when I woke up in a panic around 4am. Dr. Beckford immediately got on the phone with me, providing me with a lengthy update and allowing me to ask as many questions as I needed to feel comfortable knowing our cat was doing well. The next day when we returned to pick up our cat, Dr. Shah took so much time talking through the details of her condition and what we would do to treat her at home in the future. Instead of just doing the bare minimum, it felt like he was caring for us and for our cat like she was his own. Even on our way out the door, every vet, tech, and staff member kept reminding us that we could call or message them at any point if we had further questions or concerns. They truly mean this - even after your pet has gone home, they will gladly help reassure you or answer questions if your pet's condition changes. Since this is an open concept ER, we watched this group of vets and techs interact with a variety of pet parents for 6+ hours and at every step, you could tell that they were performing above and beyond the call of duty to do the best thing for every one of the animals that came through their doors. We were on the receiving end of that empathy, thoughtfulness, and expertise at every single turn and I would highly encourage every dog or cat owner to keep this clinic in mind for any future emergency that you might have in the future.

    They are always fantastic. Have had to go a couple of times…read more The staff goes above and beyond to help you understand what is going on with your pet, what they are intending to do and keeping you updated in a timely and courteous fashion. I won't go anywhere else in the area and they do have other locations, which is great. Highly recommend - especially when you are in an emergency and you want excellent care fur your fur baby. While I hope to not have to go back anymore, it's very comforting to know they are there.

From that first appointment through to May 29, 2025--when Choo Choo passed away peacefully in his sleep--Dr. Boostrom, Zachary, and the entire team showed us nothing but kindness, compassion, and true dedication. I want to sincerely thank Dr. Boostrom and everyone in the office for the incredible care they provided these past couple of years. I'm so grateful that thanks to all their work and expertise, we were able to have those extra years with Choo Choo--years filled with love and memories I'll always cherish. Everyone at this office is genuinely kind and clearly devoted to what they do. They always treated Choo Choo with patience and gentle care--even though he was an anxious little guy (though the Trazodone probably helped, too!). It meant so much to see him feel calmer here than he did at most other places. If you're reading this and trying to decide which veterinary oncologist to choose for your pet, I 100% recommend Dr. Boostrom's office. Dr. Boostrom and Zachary were incredible to work with, and I truly can't thank them--and the whole team--enough for everything they did for us. Thank you all so much.

We brought our beloved 17-year-old cat, Freddy, to VEG after he began experiencing seizures. Freddy had been bravely fighting advanced kidney disease, and we knew in our hearts it was time to help him cross the rainbow bridge. We were completely devastated and hysterically crying as we rushed him there. We called from the car to let them know we were on our way, and from the moment we walked through the doors, it was all hands on deck. The team's immediate response was incredible. They met us with urgency, kindness, and compassion at a time when we could barely think straight. I can't speak to the medical treatment VEG provides beyond this experience, but I can wholeheartedly speak to the compassion and professionalism they showed us. Every member of the staff treated Freddy with dignity and treated us with so much empathy during one of the hardest moments of our lives. A week later, we received a handwritten sympathy card signed by the staff. It brought me to tears. That small gesture meant more than I can put into words. After a less-than-stellar experience at another emergency veterinary hospital (Friendship), we were especially grateful for the care and compassion we received at VEG. Nothing can bring Freddy back, but the kindness shown to us that day has brought light to some very dark memories. For that, we will always be thankful.

    Please please do not trust Dr. Elizabeth Adkins with your pet's eyes. My sister and I had been…read moretaking our pup to Dr. Adkins for a few years for dry eye disease...but I'd never met her face to face. When our dog got diagnosed with diabetes I took him in since I was worried about the potential eyesight loss that comes from that and she basically told me in very similar words: "if the diabetes doesn't get him the dry eye disease will". And left it at that, with the expectation that our 2 minute conversation would suffice. When I pressed with questions, I also learned that she had in her clinician notes that our dog had been basically blind in the left eye for last 3 years but had never told us that. We were only told over the years that he had "scarring" in left eye but never informed that meant he could not see at all. And one of the worst things, she was happy to tell us she can fit us in for pre-op whenever our dog does get cataracts (due to the diabetes). BUT never told us she doesn't actually do the surgery herself, or at hope center. So even if your pet did need emergency surgery, while hope center can do the pre-op, they will not be doing the eye surgery. It was very misleading the way she told me that and I only learned later that she doesn't even do the surgeries. I was heartbroken at seeing a doctor behave with such little empathy. Please avoid this doctor if you can, there are other local opthamologists that actually care about your pet that you should go to instead.

Dr. Pugh diagnosed that he had experienced a toxic reaction and suggested I hospitalize him overnight for observation. I was given an opportunity to say good night to him around 8:30 pm and I was happy to see him sitting in the cage looking good. Dr Pugh called around 11:30 pm to tell me that Ollie was doing well. He had a good poop and pee-peed but he had not eaten or drank water. The overnight Vet would call me after 8:00 am on May 24, 2026 to give me a follow up. Around 7:15 am, Dr Mason called, happy that I was up to tell me Ollie had a turn for the worst. She disagreed with the toxic reaction diagnoses saying she believed he had a brain tumor. She said he was circling to the left and hitting his head on the side of the cage. She also said he could not stand. The only way to know for sure if it was a brain tumor was to do and MRI, but that specialty was closed until Tuesday (Monday was Memorial Day) and she didn't believe she could keep him alive until Tuesday. She reminded me that some tumors are inoperable. Dr. Mason asked me to approve x-rays to see what might be going on, which I did. She recommended that I euthanize him. She asked that I come into the Center soonest so they could set up a time for me to say good bye. While in the exam room to say goodbye, Dr. Mason showed me an x-ray on her smart phone that showed a large mass in his abdomen. She opined that it had metastasized to his brain. After considerable thought, I believe Dr. Pugh's diagnosis was the correct diagnosis. Had I taken Ollie home at 8:30 pm I believe Ollie would have been fine but would have succumbed to the mass in his abdomen in the months ahead. Ollie was hitting his head on the cage because he was trying to get out. He was never caged. I don't believe that vomiting, rope drool, and panting, which I witnessed and rushed him to Hope for, are associated with brain tumors. On June 16, 2026, I attempted to take the survey Hope had sent me on May 29, 2026 only to discover it had expired.
