We had to put our 18 1/2 year old cat down. I was devastated to say the least. They were so nice and comforting! I highly recommend them!

Since he's added another vet and additional staff he's become too big for his britches. Uncaring, greedy and lacking compassion.

I have been taking my dog to Dr. Short for over 8 years. Great guy, caring and their prices are…read morereasonable / unlike many others in town. I highly recommend him.

I have had animals my entire life and truly have never been as disappointed as I am with this vet…read more We took one of our cats in because we suspected he had bladder crystals and it turns out he did. We brought the vet a urine sample and he showed it to me under the microscope. It was all going well until he told us that we had to put both our cats on a prescription diet. We feed our cats very high quality wet food because one of them is very picky. The vet told us we had to buy dry kibble from him and could no longer give our cats the other food. He also prescribed an antibiotic to help with the stones, which we gave to our cat, no problem. However, after a week of our cats not eating the new food, I called and had them give us a prescription wet food, which they didn't eat. We contacted our old vet in Virginia and they advised us to try a different brand of food but they couldn't send in a prescription since they hadn't seen our cat for this issue. So on Chewy, I ordered the food and was waiting and waiting for the vet to approve it but they never did. So I called, and to my surprise, they just denied the prescription (without contacting me) because the vet "didn't know anything about that food." I was shocked! I told them our cats hadn't eaten in over a month, and when they did eat, they'd just throw the food up. They were visibly losing weight. THEN, when I asked to have our records emailed to us because we were no longer going to be giving them our business, they said they don't have internet hooked up in their building so they couldn't send us our records. Very strange that 1) the vet wouldn't do research on this food to try and help our cats after we paid them over $300 and 2) that they don't have internet. In 2022. I wouldn't recommend this vet to anyone. Check out Chevy Chase vet in Lexington if you're looking for a new vet. They are FANTASTIC!

I've been taking my pets to Dr. Walls practically since he opened and his clinic was actually on…read morethe by pass. I had moved away so hadn't been there for years, but when I moved back to the Richmond area I only wanted to take my fur babies to Dr. Walls. The vet I got wasn't him. I had a dog who was 16 years old. I asked for medicine to help him get around more comfortably during his last months, the meds I was prescribed cost $60 a week. I asked for something more affordable but wasn't given that option so I had to go to another vet for it. When it came time for us to say goodbye to him I made an appointment with them. They knew the weight of my boy and I had told them I would need help getting him out of the car. He could no longer walk and weighed over 100 lbs. She made the appointment for late in the afternoon at closing time, and there wasn't anyone strong enough there to help get him out of the car. The assistant and I did it together though, but once we had him off the back seat she dropped her side and I heard a good crack as my puppy hit his head on the pavement. Strike one and very traumatic for him. I filled out the paperwork on the package I wanted , paid, then went into the private room to say goodbye. Throughout it all I could hear them outside laughing, talking loudly and basically forgetting that I was there saying goodbye to my fur baby. I realize it was closing time but a little respect would have been nice. The lady vet came in after about 15 minutes and gave him the shot to make him sleep. She walked back out and the noise and laughter kept on. She came back a few minutes later to give him his final shot and was acting rushed about it. It was already a heartbreaking time for me but they made it so much worse. Strike 2. On the way home I got a notice from my bank for $100 over the package I selected. They had charged me for the most expensive one, even though I had told them 3 times and signed a paper stating which one I chose. Thank goodness for instant notification from my bank of I would have been screwed. It took me months before I could go there and request a talk with Dr. Walls to tell him about my experience and how terrible it was. He was sympathetic but told me that he had sold his clinic to that woman and was only there a little bit. I'm crying as I write this because it's still upsetting to me and I am still so angry at the way we were treated that had to write this yelp to warn people away from this clinic. Third strike and I'm out of there. We were nothing but a cash grab . I have since moved my animals to another vet and am very glad I did.

This review is for one of the front desk personnel Carol which is why I give it 5 stars. I have…read morepersonally worked in this field as a Licensed Technician and Manager and know how important each and every employee representing this field and business are. I have used this clinic for years due to the location. The few doctors I have seen have been good. Every time Carol was working at intake she was extremely kind,compassionate and respectful. She truly cares about the client and their situation. The first person a client deals with in most situations sets the tone of their visit. However, beyond the encounter with the front desk personnel, the treatment the client receives by the technician staff can deteriorate quickly. This is one of the inconsistencies I have encountered here. Being an ER technician can be a balancing act dealing with the emotions encountered by the client based on the pets condition as well as the cost for care. Each employee that deals with the client must be prepared to handle it and not everyone has the ability to do just that. Thank you Carol for being genuine. This clinic should be grateful to have you as an employee!

They saved us some of her fur clippings, nose prints, feet prints, ect and for that we will forever be grateful. Today 07-20-26 we received a grievance card in the mail that no other vet office has ever done before. I highly recommend this place, their amazing staff, and every single person on their team.
