We had to wait a bit in between getting some tests done and receiving results (which is to be expected), but the doctor was very thorough and addressed all of my concerns.

Dear reader,…read more Kingsview Animal Hospital has been taking care of our dog for years, and at this point he considers an appointment less a medical obligation and more a social engagement. He quite literally drags us toward the front door, delighted to see his friends and, naturally, collect the treats he believes are his due. The entire team is consistently caring, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Whether it is a routine visit or one of those ridiculous situations dogs somehow manage to get themselves into, they always seem to know exactly what is going on and how to help. There is something wonderfully reassuring about having a veterinary team you genuinely trust. The prices have always felt fair, particularly for the quality of care. Pro tip from one pet parent to another: we have Nationwide Pet Insurance, and it has covered a good portion of many of our bills over the years. Certainly worth investigating if your dog also enjoys periodically creating expensive little adventures. Most importantly, everyone at Kingsview treats our dog with such genuine affection that he absolutely loves going there. When your dog enthusiastically drags you INTO the vet, I think that may be the strongest review one can possibly give.

We have been taking both our cats here for about a year now and have had nothing but outstanding…read moreexperiences! All staff we've seen have been exceptional. They were able to de-mat one of our Persians in less than 15 minutes using only treats, while our last vet said she needed a sedative. Our other cat has IBD and vets here are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Rx's are called in quickly. Prices seem reasonable. Nothing but positive experiences all around.

When I have called with a question, they are understanding and caring. Once I called worried because I thought my pup had eaten an aluminum wrapper and they were very helpful and even followed up to see how Vida was doing. The staff is friendly and attentive. They always call the day before to confirm your appointment. The vet techs also seem to really love the animals. The prices, although not cheap, seem reasonable. My pup had some matting around her eyes (poor thing) and they trimmed her facial hair at no extra cost. Those are the little things you appreciate especially considering how expensive it can be to have (and sometimes spoil) your pet.

STRICT grace period policy, lack of graciousness…read more Had I known, I would've called to reschedule when my bulldog was having mild diarrhea kicking off our delay. Despite a 45-minute commute from DC to Alexandria. As a three-year patient with two other animals, I was looking forward to their assessment of my just rescued 7yo bulldog. A major concern--as noted on the intake-- was her suspected UTI. But the unapologetic priority for the new vet was to leave the office before 4pm on Friday. Don't recommend. Beware no considerations of a situation or exception to the rule. 13 minutes instead of 10 minutes late was inexcusable on their terms.

I could not be more impressed or appreciative!! Dr Villar and his team are an impressive group of…read moreprofessionals! I truly feel my cat and I had the best possible care and advise! They were patient, answered all my questions, and patiently assessed the situation and walked us through the next steps. Prescriptions were thoughtfully submitted where I needed them and anticipated all of our needs for what I consider a complex care situation. While I like my traditional veterinarian, the visits were too stressful for my ailing cat. I am extremely surprised to find that the veterinarian care received with the in-home visit by Dr. Villar exceeds my experience with my in-office veterinarian and advice received by my traditional veterinarian. Solutions were offered to me by Dr Villar that my traditional veterinarian never even suggested. Issues that I struggled to get my in-office veterinarians to understand were explained to me by Dr Villar before I even brought the issue up. This to me is the difference in experience! Further, the recommendations of Dr Villar are simple and cost-effective as compared to my in-office veterinarian who offered only the most expensive of options. Also, in comparison, my in-office veterinarians are younger and lack the abundantly apparent experience of Dr. Villar. I cannot speak highly enough of this experience! As for cost, this too, was very reasonable and I regret not finding him years earlier!

Now that my cats are starting to get older, I have finally brought one of them in for a fairly major surgery, and even during this time of COVID-19 pandemic madness, both I and my cat were treated very well by all of the staff and the doctor. I honestly cannot ask for anything more, so I think a 5-star rating is warranted.

The best of the BEST! Late last year I adopted Sadie, a 14 year old senior cat looking for her…read moreforever home! Last month, after a UTI and other health issues led to something more serious including multiple seizures that resulted in a completely lifeless kitty, I thought we had certainly reached the end. I emailed Burke Vet Clinic early in the morning and they called me right away and indicated that some of Sadie's symptoms may be treatable and I should think about bringing her in for professional treatment instead of waiting for her to naturally pass. Dr. Patty Carcamo said if I decided to bring her in that her team would be ready. Sadie had another seizure on my way in, I called the office as soon as I arrived and the young gal who answered the phone came running out. She secured Sadie and took off running back in, I could see her through the store front windows moving as fast as should could taking her directly into the examine room without breaking stride. I think it's assumed that our vet's care about our pets, but I think it speaks volumes to see their support staff care so much even when they don't know you are watching. Dr. Patty Carcamo will call you with your treatment options and she will wait as long as it takes you to make a decision without rushing you. Any time lost in your decision making, she will make up for because she moves fast! I could tell she was directing her staff at the exact same time she was confirming our agreed upon path forward. Due to Dr. Alt's well respected professional status in our community, if you go to Springfield Vet Emergency Referral, they will stabilize your pet and conduct exams but they will refer you back to Dr. Alt's practice for an actual diagnosis. In my recent visit, they were heavily inclined to yield to him and that should speak volumes to his reputation and how he is viewed by his colleagues in the field. (Note that for almost two decades the fantastic and ever constant Dr. Alt has cared for my entire family's cats, including my parent's cat Daisey who is nearly 17!!!!) Happy news! Thanks to Dr. Alt, Dr. Carcamo, Brandon the ever positive and friendly vet tech and the entire Burke Vet team, Sadie weathered the storm, is back to her normal self and has already regained weight and energy giving me what appears to be a few extra months with her. Thank you!!!- highly recommend!
