Kingstowne Cat Clinic. Were wonderful with my older cat with his thyroid/seizure and the final cancer - listened to me and were so very kind when his time came. They put up with my younger, cranky cat and are unfailingly kind and professional.

Kingstowne Cat Clinic - All the doctors are great and the entire staff helpful & caring. We have had the privilege of dealing mostly with Dr. Lynn Gulledge, she has seen us and our many cats through the routine as well as the trying and sad times. You will not find a more compassionate vet, she's the best!

Caring Hands Animal Hospital provides exceptional care. You can tell that Dr. Vitulli takes significant effort to make sure that every vet, tech, assistant, and receptionist who works for Caring Hands has the same philosophy of customer service and empathetic care. They also provide significant support to the rescue community. Two paws up for CHAH!

Caring Hands Animal Hospital always makes me feel comfortable when I take my cats there. I know that their staff truly cares about them. My cat got caught in some blinds and I knew that she was being taken care of completely and they did what they needed to do to help her. They also work very closely with rescue societies and help animals in need receive the care they deserve as well.

Hands down, it's Caring Hands AH. They go above and beyond for all 6 of my critters. They have been dentists, ear cleaners, nail trimmers, neurologists, pharmacists, dermatologists, oncologists, ophthalmologists, hospice care and gp's. The staff is always super friendly. They remember my name and my son's name. They ask how my other pets are doing. They almost always have an appointment the same day. The doctors, not the technicians, call you with blood test results. When my dog needed very expensive medicine the doctor told me the best (ie least expensive) place to buy it rather than pushing me to buy it through them. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Glasser and Dr. Murphy and all the other doctors!

Hylba Valley Animal Hospital! They have always taken good care of my dogs. Don't charge unnecessary fees and have the common sense so many doctors lack. Years of experience make them knowledgable in what they need to know.

Caring Hands Animal Hospital is great! They provide exceptional care, and extraordinary customer service. I can't tell you how many times I've said I wish they could be MY doctor! We've been taking our dogs to CHAH for 11+ years. We love CHAH, and our dogs love going there. The front staff is always welcoming and helpful, the vet assistants and techs are the best and the vets, I can't say enough good things about the doctors we've seen, including in the most recent years: Dr. Campfield, Dr. Dillon, Dr. Streck, Dr. Vitulli. We would not consider going elsewhere.

Caring Hands-- Centreville and Ashburn. We've been clients since we moved from DC, but last summer the staff were especially wonderful in treating our cocker spaniel who had been attacked at Dulles Exec Pet Center by a mastiff 4x her size! I'm sure our dog would have died had we let the vet (partner owner associated with the kennel) continue to treat her! Love Dr. Streck!

My vote for Clocktower Animal Hospital and Dr. Mazur! He's my dog Speedy's new doctor and she's seen him only once, though, I think we've found the one who will take good care of her for the rest of her life.

Caring Hands without a doubt is the most caring practice. They saved my dog's life when he needed surgery for an obstruction. I know he would have died. Dr. Campfield is the best and truly loves her little fur patients. Dr. Streck and Dr.Vitolli are wonderful and such great Docs.

Caring Hands Animal Hospital is kind to our pet & very nice to our family as a whole. Everyone working there seems to have a positive & friendly attitude. This talented group of professionals has kept our feline family member in excellent health since we moved here from AZ over a year ago. For these reasons & more they are Fairfax County's best!

Hands down, its Caring Hands Animal Hospital. All 4 of my babies (chihuahuas) are patients here. I will never forget the day we had to put one of our dogs down due to old age, and when we arrived we were immediately taken back to a room that they had set up for us prior to our arrival. The room was very dim, lit with candles, the chairs were removed and the floor was covered with blankets and pillows and very soft instrumental music was playing. They made it very comfortable and peaceful for all of us and allowed us to stay with her for as long as we wanted during ans after the procedure was done. They then took her away, bundled her up and gave her back to us so that we could bury her ourselves they also gave us a cement plaque of her paw prints along with a rainbow bridge prayer for dogs. They are an amazing group of people who not only care for animals but care for the owners as well.
