Been going to cat care for years. Recently had a bad experience. My cat had a urinary blockage. I…read morecall the practice first thing in the morning and was told the Dr. was too busy to see him. To go over to Greenbrier Emergency Veterinarian. No warning about how expense Greenbrier would be. The cat got good care at Greenbrier but was not prepared for how expense it would be. Payment needed to be made in advance before any care was given. Had to run home and get another CC that I don't normally carry with be. The practice is open late Friday - Monday 7:30 AM. Had to pick the cat up Monday morning doing a snow storm still with catheter sticking out his rear. Then take him to properly only vet open doing the snow storm. They keep him while I waited half a day in the lobby. Was told best to keep the catheter in for 48 hours. Cost at Greenbrier $2,900 and another $350 at Meadow Creek. I ask them if I came to them first what the charge would be for the same procedure. Was told $700. At Greenbrier I was also told that my cat may need to go next store to the specially surgical veterinarians for a future procedure . That they were the only ones that did that procedure in our area. Cost would be about $5,000. At Meadow Creek they told me that they could do the same procedure and cost would be about $2,000. They put the cat on a special diet and medicine so hopeful he will not need to have it done. Can not say enough nice thinks about Mesdow Creek and staff. I expect that they will be my new veterinarian. Finale thought my father was a veterinarian and I use to help him out at his practice. I know a few things about the business.

I have no complaints about the quality of care provided at RAH. My beef is with the prices. For the…read morefirst 2 years my pets were treated there it seemed reasonably priced, but for the last several years the prices have risen dramatically, even accounting for inflation. Did a little research, and sure enough, since 2022 it has been part of the PetVets network, owned by the private equity firm KKR. These equity companies are not in the veterinary biz, they are in the profit maximization biz. The service provided is secondary to them. No disrespect to the fine vets who work there, but I just can't afford the bills anymore. Even routine visits produce budget busting tabs, and I'm not a poor person. 2 motion sickness tablets? $52. That's not a typo. My advice? Go to privateequityvet.org to find vet owned clinics that have more leeway on prices.

We have been using Ruckersville Animal Hospital since December and have been thoroughly impressed…read more We had a negative experience when another vet in Charlottesville prompting the switch. We had a lot of interactions with the School of Vet Medicine at VA Tech and were referred to RAH. Dr. Odom has been wonderful with our two puppies. They love the attention they receive from the staff. They listen to our concerns and are great communicators. They are currently doing Curbside Service. They come out and pick up your pet for their exam. Once in the room the Dr. calls and goes over the exam. Payment is taken over the phone. During an appointment this week the temps outside were 95+. The clinic brought waters to the customers in their cars. It included information such as WiFi password to help pass the time. I thought it was a great gesture. If you are looking for a vet on the north side of Charlottesville or Ruckersville, RAH should be considered.

What could have been an overwhelming experience was made far easier by a team that combined genuine compassion with clear expertise. From our first phone call onward, the staff communicated thoughtfully and consistently--keeping me informed at every step, explaining options, and providing the facts I needed to make the right decisions. Being separated from one of my dogs for several days in the hospital was difficult; their frequent updates and reassurances meant the world to me. Our communications with the entire team, from the front desk through the surgeons, cardiologist, and oncologist, were consistently clear, compassionate, and genuinely helpful. Expectations were managed with transparent information at every turn. Through the tense weeks that followed, and ultimately when we received the all-clear, the team proved exemplary in every way. Their professionalism, kindness, and steady support were deeply appreciated.

I wish I could remember the technician's name--she was so caring, gentle, and sweet with Zac. I also really appreciate that this office is open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's a huge plus for me since, somehow, my pets always seem to need care on weekends! I highly recommend Autumn Trails. I was extremely impressed with the entire experience!
