Do not use the groomer Tracy!! She will injure your dog and not apologise. The doctors are good.

Wow... I realized today I didn't know what a "good" vet experience was until I came to Vienna…read moreAnimal Hospital. You really don't know what you don't know. I've had a terrible experience with another vet in Fairfax and decided to give this place a try after 2 people recommended it. The doctor allowed me to be with my dog as she checked up on him and treated him. Both the doctor and the staff tried their hardest to ensure my dog was feeling comfortable by giving him treats so he could warm up to them, and some gravy to distract him as they were drawing blood. The doctor was also courteous, patient, clear in communication and explanations, and ensured that I was also comfortable along with my dog. At the previous vet, I had to be the proactive one as they did not check my dog even for regular things due at an annual checkup (e.g., heartworm) despite taking my dog in for the annual checkup. Moreover, they didn't notify me of vaccines that were set to expire in a couple weeks. At Vienna Animal Hospital, the doctor spent time with me to go through my dog's medical record and vaccines, pointed out which ones that were set to expire soon, and which ones she thought wasn't needed. She didn't push me to buy things I didn't need or want. It was overall such a great experience. Very happy with the care here!!

It should be no star at all for this business. We began to have Vienna Animal Hospital taking care…read moreof our two dogs and three cats starting at more than twenty years ago. My pets were lucky because for about 12 years they had Dr. Wolf who was absolutely professional and compassionate. Unfortunately, Dr. Wolf passed away when my youngest ca, Paung, was 8 years old. About 9 months ago. Paung was diagnosed with hyperthyroid. The drug they gave us to control Paung's thyroid was expired. I didn't notice the expiration date until 5 days later. So for 5 days my cat was taking expired medicine. After that I decided to try to get the same medicine form Amazon, but it required the vet to fax in a prescription. I called the Vienna animal Hospital to remind them to send in the prescription, the receptionist said they would have the Dr. do it. But a week passed and nothing was done, Amazon finally sent me a notice saying the order was cancelled. On March 20th, 2026. Paung, who was almost 17 year old, was exhibiting signs of pain. We thought he was having constipation since he had a few similar episodes before. But this one seemed to be worse. So we made an 8:00 a.m. appointment with Dr. Chervez at Vienna Animal Hospital. We arrived 5 minutes early. As we waited, we saw three other 8:00 a.m. appointments being admitted into patients rooms. 5 minutes passed 8:00, my husband asked the receptionist what was going on. She said since we'd arrived 5 minutes early, it was normal for us to wait. Meanwhile my cat was distressed and crying constantly. Another 15 minutes passed, we asked if the Dr. was available, they said he was, just delayed. We didn't know what that meant. Was he there or he had not arrived yet. But the receptionist didn't seemed to know. We finally decided to leave. On our way out, I told the front desk that they were not very professional. They answer was "OK" with a shrug of their shoulders. We had to go to another vet since Paung was obviously in pain, but there was no appointment available until 1:00 p.m. It turned out Paung's kidneys had failed and he was euthanized 2 days later. Our hearts are broken because of the passing of a beloved pet who'd given us love and comfort for more than 15 years. But what we are having a hard time to accept the fact that Vienna Animal Hospital had made Paung suffer unnecessarily in the final days of his life. I don't believe they have the uttermost professionalism, compassion and empathy required as a veterinarian hospital.

Responding to the business owner's response: 1. I primarily…read moreasked for an annual checkup as my dog has diarrhea every couple of months and that's normal for him. Despite that info, your team made a strong case about selling prescription treatment and you admitted to me verbally that your technicians didn't communicate that and weren't well trained. 2. When the technician lady I spoke with yesterday kept on cutting me off and saying that I was the one who rejected the heartworm test because your hospital "always" does things right, yes I got frustrated. I told her I was going to hang up and that I would find another hospital because I didn't want to continue being talked over and gaslighted. In my perspective, a proper response from your team would have been "I am surprised to hear that wasn't relayed to you. There must have been a mistake." And not "Our hospital always asks the owner so it must have been you who rejected it" esp when she couldn't find any records 3. Lastly it is my bad for assuming that the technician was the doc's wife. I am truly sorry for that. Being Korean myself and supporting a lot of Korean establishments in NOVA, I see a lot of husband-wife businesses. That lady's demeanor said she didn't care about losing my business at all so I assumed she was related to the owner. I am sorry as it was a cultural misguided assumption. Since you say that you are hoping to improve, my sincere feedback for your hospital is below: 1.) Please take some time to improve on empathy and customer service. Take a moment to listen to the customer. Please refrain from being defensive, cutting people off, arguing back, etc. I have never in my 20+ years in NOVA have come across an establishment where I felt the communication was this difficult. 2.) Kindly take the time to talk with patients & train your technicians on products they are selling, on customer service, on promoting clear/transparent processes. Yes you treat animals. But you are the main communicators with those pets' owners. Does a doctor at the hospital only checks up on the patients and prescribes treatment? No - they talk with family members, clearly explaining and assuring of what they are going to do and train their nurses to best assist with the treatment. That is part of the job and is a huge part of patient care. I have a right to my experiences and to share my perspective as do you. Please don't accuse my experience as being slanderous and unfactual. Obviously there was a lot of miscommunication but maybe that in itself can be a starting place for you to reflect on how to best mitigate those problems in the future. I wish you and your business best of luck. ---- It's not worth the stress, people. Please don't be swayed by the prices & look elsewhere. Three main reasons why I'm taking my dog elsewhere - Unclear Practice/Process, Poor Communication, Aggressive Attitude toward customers. A couple of weeks ago, I brought my dog in for an annual checkup. He was having diarrhea but I wasn't too worried as it happens occasionally, but since my dog's annual checkup was due in a month or so, I thought why not bring him in early just to check? I relayed this as I checked my dog in. Then a headache ensued with their technicians trying to sell my husband this comprehensive treatment plan to my dog. I was so confused - how could there be a treatment plan when the results of the bloodwork wasn't even out? When I went to pick up my dog, I told the doc - I get all the other shots you're giving my dog, but "what's the difference between getting my dog prescription food vs. feeding him a bland diet for his diarrhea?" And the doc said, "you don't have to cook." ...I was baffled. There was a miscommunication, a large part of it was due to undertrained technicians which the doc admitted to, and yet he had a standoff with me for 30 minutes. Whatever, I just wanted to take my dog home. THEN, a couple weeks later today, I was ordering heartworm medicine through Chewy and they declined it. I call the hospital and this Korean lady whom I assumed to be his wife based on how she was asserting herself, tells me that my dog didn't get his annual heartworm test. I asked her why then didn't they tell me when I went in for a checkup and then she aggressively argued that she's sure that someone must have told me. She looked in my records, but there was no record of me saying I declined the heartworm test, because I didn't. Yelp-fam, I told you the facts. You decide if the headache is worth it. Prices are great. But if you're anything like me and want the absolute best care for my dog and be treated in a professional/kind way, then pay a bit extra to get care elsewhere. Walk away. Also, DM me your favorite vets in NOVA. Looking for a new one for my fur-best friend.

Recently I had a few bad experiences with vets and groomers in this area to care for my senior dog of 18 years, being totally disappointed I started searching for a vet who could at least show some level of compassion and professionalism, the money was not the issue in any case although the previous vets did gave us a huge bill without justification! Not even a follow up or return a call! Thankfully my research online and what I was looking for directed me to Dr. Blevins a native of Northern VA and a founder of Oakton - Vienna Veterinarian Hospital. I quickly called and with only couple of rings a soft spoken lady answered the phone she was understanding of our situation and knowing what we had been through. I asked for appt with Dr. Blevins and the next day got to meet him and his very compassionate technician and office staff! Dr. Blevins was compassionate, professional and above all understood our concerns from past experiences, he took his time and answered all of our questions so we can come up with a plan for our senior dog. We appreciate the level of support we received. We also thank his technician Alyssa who was friendly and professional, took her time to answer all of our questions and even gave our little senior dog a bag of goodies with his cute bow tie. I urge all pet owners to do your research before ending up in one of areas vet hospitals with chaotic conditions and no professional staff! All the best
