I was so impressed with this Veterinary office. My 13yr old dog was having some stomach issues…read more She's not the friendliest dog. She gets nervous easy and so starts to bark. She sounds and looks scary, which makes most people tense up and that makes the situation worse. This usually happens even at vets offices. But for the first time in her long life she was made to feel comfortable at a vet office! Both the vet tech (so sorry I don't remember her name - she was WONDERFUL) and Dr. Lynn were so good with her. The got down on here level, approached from the side (something we will advise others to try going forward) and were patient and gave her treats. After just a little bit of working with and on her, my nervous dog happily left the exam room WITH Dr. Lynn without even looking back at us. I've NEVER seen her do that ... even with people she knows. Now for the important stuff. Her stomach is better. They did testing, but before getting all of the results gave me some things and suggestions to help her at home. And it all worked wonderfully. She's gaining weight again. Her stomach is good. She sleeps through the night again. AND as an added bonus, after months of trying everything under the sun they also gave me a solution to the fleas that actually worked! Which is a huge relief for us and the dog. Love this place. Prices weren't the cheapest but very reasonable for all they did.

We have been with CSV for years (more than 20) we always see Dr. "MIKE" or Dr. Mccoy for surgery…read more Words cannot express the passion this amazing group offers. From Priscilla (in the front) to our DEAR Dr. Mike (HAIRFIELD) it all goes perfect. My daughter grew up seeing us take our dogs to Dr. Mike and not she takes her 3 dogs (all ALL before now!!) to the same place, same doctor. Our pets love everyone there because they can tell THEY ARE LOVED. My deep appreciation for ALL that you do for our fur babies. Love you Dr. Hairfield

Blacksburg Animal Clinic - This is a transcript of how hateful DR Watson was with me. I'm on disability and refused to give my service dog her meds.

Very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Dr. Matthew Watson and the team at Blacksburg…read moreAnimal Clinic I brought my dog to Blacksburg Animal Clinic today for a scheduled veterinary appointment, and unfortunately, we were not even seen because of an issue involving a $300 balance that I believe should have been handled directly with the ASPCA. A few months ago, my cat had cancer and required surgery on his ears. The ASPCA in Roanoke agreed to pay the $300 balance, and I provided Blacksburg Animal Clinic with documentation stating that the ASPCA would be responsible for the payment. The front-office employee who was working that day was the same person I spoke with today. She had originally scanned the documentation into their system and also spoke directly with the ASPCA representative by phone while I was there picking up my cat after surgery. I was told the ASPCA would be sending the clinic a check in the mail. Today, before my dog's appointment, I was suddenly presented with a statement saying that I still owed the $300. I explained that the ASPCA had agreed to pay this amount and that I had already provided the clinic with documentation confirming that arrangement. At first, I was told they did not have the paperwork on file. Then, after I explained that I knew it had been scanned into their system, they acknowledged that they actually did have the documentation. I also explained that I am disabled, live on a fixed income, and simply cannot afford to pay an unexpected $300 balance that I was told the ASPCA was responsible for. I was not refusing to pay a legitimate bill; I was trying to understand why I was suddenly being held responsible for a balance that had already been arranged to be paid by another organization. While I was speaking with the front-office employee and trying to resolve the issue, Dr. Matthew Watson came out and asked, with what I felt was a very obvious attitude, "Are we still doing this?" referring to my dog's appointment. I told him that I was willing to proceed with my dog's appointment as long as I was not being made responsible for the $300 that the ASPCA had agreed to pay. I explained that I simply wanted the billing issue resolved and did not feel comfortable accepting responsibility for that amount. He then essentially told me that if I didn't like the situation, I should take my dog to another veterinarian. He opened the front door and told me to go to the other vet. I have never been treated this way at a veterinary clinic. I was not yelling, threatening anyone, or refusing to pay a legitimate bill. I was attempting to resolve a billing/documentation issue that appears to have resulted from the clinic's own failure to properly maintain or process the paperwork they had already received. What is especially upsetting is that I clearly explained that I am disabled and live on a fixed income. Instead of showing understanding or professionalism and trying to resolve the situation, I felt dismissed, embarrassed, and essentially pushed out of the clinic. I cannot speak to whether this legally constitutes disability discrimination, but I absolutely felt that my disability and financial circumstances were not treated with appropriate consideration. My concern is not simply the $300. It is the way this entire situation was handled. If the ASPCA payment had not arrived, the professional response should have been to contact the ASPCA, review the documentation, and work toward resolving the discrepancy--not confront me immediately before my dog's appointment and then have the veterinarian tell me to take my dog somewhere else. After being a client here, this experience has completely changed my opinion of this clinic. I will be taking my dog elsewhere. I hope management reviews what happened today, including the documentation regarding the ASPCA payment and how I was treated when I questioned the balance.

This new owner is very hateful. He has seen my service dog for over a year. Since he took…read moreownership, he said I was rude to the staff and argued over 80 cents. He also stated I'd have to go see another vet. This is all slandering and untrue. I was short 80 cents and was going to go to my car to get the 80 cents, but a wonderful staff member said she would take care of it. This Dr denied my prescription for my service dog because he said I was looking for a new clinic. Why in the world would I look for a new clinic until he denied me the prescription for my service dog. Yes, I said I would have to look for someone else if he refused to fill any medication for my service dog. I did have to take her to Mountain View Humane to get her spayed due to my disability and lack of income. I thought at one time Blacksburg Animal Clinic was the best! This is not the case after DR Watson bought the clinic. He actually spoke with me on the phone as well and was very hateful and domineering. I tried to explain and he said he would send my medical records to whoever I wanted, then blocked my number as I only had a few hours to choose a new vet. I then emailed him to try to explain because he wouldn't give me a chance to speak on the phone when he called back. I said I'd have no choice to report him to the state board and DCA. He just gave me a hateful answer and then proceeded to tell me to do as I see fit. It's like he doesn't care! Who wants a vet like this?

Dr. Jessup is a wonderful cat vet. She takes her time with The patient (cat), and if there is a…read moreproblem, goes out of her way to discuss the different differentials (what might be wrong), and the way to proceed in each case. My cat Maggie and myself got to know Dr. Jessup really well when my kitty came down with a liver illness. First of all, Maggie had to be seen urgently when it was noticed she was jaundiced during a vaccine clinic. Maggie's normal vet could not work Maggie in that day (height of COVID) - but FCAH said if we could come right away, she would get worked in. So we stuck with Dr.Jessup from that point on, she was so kind and sweet to Maggie with all of her appointments And Dr. Jessup would go out of her way to reach out to me with the different lab tests results and findings, even after hours. Maggie's case was difficult and rare, so medically it was very challenging and sad in the long run, but I highly recommend Dr. Jessup and her staff! As long as I have cats, she will be their veterinarian.

I am writing this review with an extremely heavy heart. I have been taking my babies here for years…read moreand in the beginning(with Dr Krauss) they did a wonderful job but the care has steadily declined over the years with almost no contact with an actual Vet in the last couple of years. After taking my dog in and her getting a clean bill of health on June 8th on June 19th I had to take her back in for excessive bleeding in her mouth, thinking maybe she had an infected tooth we were given the crushing news that she had an aggressive tumor growing in her jaw. We were told of our few options, and we went home with a couple of prescriptions and agonized over what to do. After spending a day or two crying, having to watch my poor baby continuously bleeding from her mouth(at times heavily) we sadly made the decision to end her suffering. Wanting her to go peacefully, at home and in her own bed My husband spent days building her a box and digging a grave (in the rain) for her forever home. We went in on the 23rd and tried to make an appointment for June 26th but we were told they could not be here until June 27th so we spent a very emotional week waiting for what we hoped would be a peaceful transition but what we endured was an excruciating ordeal that I'm not sure we will ever recover from. After taking care of my baby for years and knowing her size and weight they neglected to bring enough tranquilizer to put her to sleep. She was terrified and when they tried to give it to her she started to get up and the vet just jabbed it into her, making her cry out in pain. Instead of maybe leaving the room to let her calm down they waited a few minutes and preceded to give her the next 2 shots as my husband held her, I had to look into those terrified eyes while they did this. The only words from the vet (Dr Knick) was "she's gone" and the young lady with her mumbled "sorry for your loss" as they walked out the door. I am sharing my story because I don't want anyone else to have to endure this. Maggie gave us almost 10 years of unconditional love and I had to watch her leave here in terror instead of peace and I don't know if we will ever get over that look in her eyes, she deserved so much better than that!

My review is based off of a few years of coming here. First off they love my pets. The minute we…read morecome in Jessica greets our dogs by name, and gives them love. We're waited on quickly, and by quickly I mean within 10 minutes. I used to go to Vinton Vet and it would take up to 30 minutes to be seen. Dr Reece is an amazing vet who gives the time needed to make sure our animals are doing well. If you left a bad review I'm sure you must be a bad pet owner because this place feels like a group of people who really care about animals.

I have taken my beloved family members here for several years for medical care. Here, as far as I…read moreknow, my kids [animals] have received excellent medical care. However, it becomes obvious this organization has more compassion for the almighty U.S. Dollar than they have compassion for the pet owners bank account. For example: I took in a feral cat for an obvious mouth pain problem. I thought the cat needed a couple of bad teeth pulled. In the exam room I told the Vet Assistant what I thought was the problem. I explained it was a feral cat that would not allow me to touch it. It lived in the barn, I bought a Drop Trap to catch it. It was not a beloved family member. It pawed at it's mouth like it was in pain, it may have a couple of bad teeth that should be pulled .... I never received a phone call with an estimate, or alterative options like Euthanize the Cat. When I was told the cat was ready to go home, I was told the cat had a serious teeth/gum disease and the bill WAS OVER TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS !!! Like I said, no compasion for the customers bank account. But here, the U.S. Dollar, above all else, gets their attention. This place offers excellent healthcare at a PREMIUM ! And not forthcoming with estimates. Be ready to pay BIGTIME.
