My puppy almost died this weekend due to the advice given by one of the doctors there. (I know how damning a bad review is, so I'm not going to name names.) The advice she gave was so basically wrong - I should have listened to my gut. I had brought in my 10 lb., 7 month old puppy due to bowel consistency issues he'd experienced over the last 2 weeks. She advised that he go on a prescription high fiber diet and also some probiotics. The food, she said, should be started right away, and there was no need to wean him off of his current food. I gave him 1/2 a cup that evening and 3 hours later, he started vomiting, and did so throughout the night. In the morning, there was barely fluid left in this poor dog, and he was vomiting bloody tissue. Long story short, at the ER he was stabilized and discharged, then re-admitted 4 hours later for worsening symptoms. He's home now, but still not out of the woods, going on 5 days now. The straight introduction of that food into his system was catastrophic. Everyone knows that any food change you begin with an animal should be done gradually. So basic. SO wrong. My poor dog. It's not about the money (THOUSANDS spent already) - I would do anything for my pet. I've just never experienced such negligence by a medical professional in my life. This doctor is dangerously unqualified! read more

Haven't used them due to their prices being almost double the normal for spaying a small dog, (yorkshire terrier 8 mos old. Those 5 stars are expensive. read more

I have been going to Springfield Vet for over 22 years. So bummed Dr. Escobar retired, now soon to be Dr. Scotti. I will continue to bring my animals there, but it would be the same. These two Dr. 's very very special and kind Dr's. Excellent vets too! :( read more

The Vets here are very conscientious, caring, accommodating and have your pets' best interest in mind although a little expensive.

I've used the vets at Springfield for more than 10 years for my cats. Dr. Kilgore helped me with a cat that had terrible issues and he was gentle, kind and caring. I love this practice! read more

I have stray cats in my backyard and was hoping to bring them into a Vet to make sure they are healthy and possibly take them in. I explained my purpose when I made the appointment and I was not informed that they do not assist in this way. *They happily accepted my payment.* I was called to confirm the appointment and I also told the person that called that I was bringing in "whichever one I could find the morning of". She mentioned nothing about being unable to see a stray cat. I wasn't able to find the cats this AM for the appointment time because they were hiding in the rain. When I called to ask what I should do I was told that it is illegal for them to accept the cat I would be bringing in. So why did they take my money? Why wouldn't the first two people I spoke with have informed me of this? I clearly stated that I was bringing a stray cat in for a check up and wanted to get it altered to control population. I paid for the appointment ahead of time and they are keeping my money even though they do not offer the service I requested. read more

Dr Shaw is great! We recently moved from California and have been bringing our small terrier mix here. I am an internal medicine physician and I love that Dr. Shaw clearly explains his differential when we present him with our dog with a specific symptom. Some other vets I've had keep the differential very broad and often want to test for various things without good explanation. Dr Shaw is different in that he clearly deduces what is the most likely diagnosis based on a good physical exam and history of presentation. He lays out the options and gives the owner the choice if they want to pursue a more aggressive workup or not, understanding that sometimes it can be expensive. He has great bedside manner and takes the time to explain his reasoning and answer any questions. Overall very glad I finally found a highly competent and reasonable vet for my dog! read more

After moving back to the US from overseas, finding a new vet for our 4 animals was a big thing for me. Our 3 dogs and our cat are family to us. They have traveled the World with us and are spoiled rotten. When my Am Staf Poseidon came down with a nasty hot spot and broke out we called the vet we had been using since we moved here. For 3 days they told me to take him to an emergency vet during business hours. I decided it was time to find a new vet. Springfield was actually recommended to me for repro for my female Am Staf so I called and was given an appointment the next day. Dr. Kilgore is absolutely awesome, he took very good care of Poseidon and fell in love with him. He explained everything to me in a way we could understand. (I'm still waiting to see the selfie he took with Poseidon ) his care didn't stop at the vets office either. He called me every couple days just to make sure Poseidon was doing ok and his medicine was working. The ladies at the front desk are all pleasant and friendly (unlike the ladies at my last vets office, they always had scowls on their faces). I look forward to a long relationship with this office. Highly recommend them! read more

If you want a horrible experience with a vet, see Dr. Scotti. I had to see him today because my regular vet was out. His rudeness (twice leaving the room as if he were in a hurry and didn't want to answer my questions or explain things) was only surpassed by his impatience and inability to communicate well. If you want to listen to someone drone on and say the same things over and over without clarifying, if you want someone to make suggestions based on his frustration with not being able to make a good diagnosis, then see Dr. Scotty. Worst experience EVER at a vet. Won't waste my time there ever again. read more

This Veterinary Center has extensive reproductive center. They will freeze and/or breed purebreds....but when it comes to the dog that one absolutely love - my dog, who means the world to me and has the best personality and features, they wont do it. I want to have a dogs or two from my dogs breed line when he passes, and my family members want the other pups from the doggie litter of my choice. All i can say is "assholes!" They think they are doing some service to the dog community. Rescue dogs might be for some, but not me. If you will not let me breed my own dog, though he is not within a perfect line, you are just contributing to the demand for other breeders. Please do not go her for regular vet services. read more

We've been coming here for 5 years with our golden and yorker and have no complaints. Dr. Kolster and her staff have always been prompt, thorough and kind. Appointments are easy to get and they never reschedule. read more

Springfield Veterinary Center - Veterinarians Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

See all

My family has been seeing Dr. Scotti and his staff for as long as I can remember, and I wouldn't have it any other way. All members of the Springfield Vet team are super knowledgeable in their field and take the time to learn and love the pets they service. My dog, Sam, doesn't even mind some of the more uncomfortable tests that are preformed, because the team at Springfield are able to keep her so calm during her checkups. This past visit, she even tried to cheat on the scale so Dr. Scotti wouldn't know she put in a few LBs! I would recommend Springfield Vet to anyone looking for a great practice to trust with the health of their feline or canine companion!! read more

Best Vets in Richmond. Dr. Escobar, Dr. Scotti & Dr. Kolster always take awesome care of my Kelpies & Schipperke! The staff are awesome and everyone treats you like you are the most important parent to your babies! I have referred friends to Springfield Veterinary Center and they all say the same thing I do, Best Vet Practice in Richmond. You know you are in the right place when you feel at home and like part of the family!!!!!!! My past dogs, Korick, Rikki & Cricket loved them and all my new babies, Kiowa, Chie, Rev & Kuruk love everyone here!!!!!! read more

I came to Springfield for a 2nd opinion and I will never go anywhere else again. The entire staff was so loving and I could see that Dr. Scotti genuinely adored and cared about the health of my cat. Surgery was necessary but he made recommendations to accomodate my financial limitations and even suggested against some tests that I was willing to pay for but wouldn't provide enough info to make them worth the expense. I have always had pets and I have been to several vet clinics.. Springfield gives top tier service at prices that actually allow me to care for my pets the way they deserve. read more

The doctors and staff here are the most exceptional and caring providers my pets and I could ever ask for. They take the time to answer all your questions and are open and respectful of your feelings too. They have helped us through a lot of difficult times with such loving support, advise and expertise. Thank you especially Dr Escobar:) read more

I have been using Springfield Veterinary Center for over fifteen years now. I started seeing Dr. Scotti with my little Dachshund, Sir Hapford Wigglebottoms. Soon after Happy, I was rescued by a darling little kitten whom we named Ysobella. After 13 happy years with Happy, there came a time when, due to the negligence of a groomer, Happy's back was injured and never got better. After a year of watching him in pain we decided that it was time to let our little guy go. Dr. Scotti came to our home, and gently, kindly and lovingly, helped us put Happy to sleep in the arms of my daughter and I. I am grateful to this day for his kindness. Happy loved Dr. Scotti and Dr. Escobar but hated the going to the vet part. Dr. Scotti's kindness made Happy's passing easier. Last year, we had to put our beloved Ysobella down due to chronic heart failure. Dr. Escobar was as gentle and kind, understanding and supportive as he could be during those final moments of Ysobella's life. Now, I have two wonderful, amazing beautiful kittens, Lucifer and Alexandra, who are being cared for by Dr. Kilgore. What I love most about Springfield Veterinary Center is that EVERYBODY, from Mrs. Dr. Escobar who works at the front desk, to the techs who assist, to the doctors themselves truly love their patients and are so kind and generous to the pet owners. They are invested in making sure that our pets are healthy, happy, loved and well taken care of and they show this through their approach to these pets. It is my opinion that one couldn't find a better veterinarian to take care of their pets. read more

I've taken my dogs to Dr Scotti for nearly 14 years now and can't think of many Doctor's, restaurants or anything else I would recommend any higher. Dr Scotti listens to any and all concerns, addresses them and works with you to come up with a plan to treat your pet that you are comfortable with. If you are in need of veterinary care, Dr Scotti would be an excellent choice. read more

Dr. Escobar and his staff are fantastic. We have been going to them for about six months, since we first got our young corgi and we have been very happy with the team's attentiveness to our puppy's health and well-being. A friend and colleague (a practicing physician) strongly recommended Dr. Escobar to us shortly after we picked up our puppy from the breeder. Upon this recommendation, we took our corgi to Springfield Veterinary Center for his first checkup and round of shots, and have been going back ever since this initial positive experience. Today was the growing pup's neutering surgery, and the great care we received is what prompted me to write this review. Our experience was exactly what I hoped for from start to finish... The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional during the check-in process. After completing the necessary paperwork, our puppy was taken to the backroom by the technician staff to be clinically assessed and prepared for the procedure. At this point, I was able to leave and go about my day. A couple hours later, I received an unexpected (but appreciated) email containing an itemized estimate for the overall procedure and all services scheduled for the day, which ended up being quite accurate. About an hour later, I received a phone call directly from Dr. Escobar to confirm the surgery was on schedule, provide details on the anesthesia being used, and share his estimate for the total surgery time. Later that afternoon, I received a follow-up call confirming the surgery went well and our puppy was being monitored for any lingering effects of the anesthesia, thus we would be able to pick him up at 5 PM. As we arrived, the front staff not only remembered who we were, they also had our paperwork and invoice ready and waiting. In addition, they had an examination room ready for us, so we could meet with Dr. Escobar to ask questions and review/discuss post-operative care procedures and documentation. The good doctor was even kind enough to provide his personal cell phone number, in case we had any urgent questions or emergencies. As a healthcare professional, I can only describe what I experience today as being on par with the gold standard of coordinated, high-quality care that healthcare organizations strive to deliver for human patients. In short, Springfield Veterinary Center is top-notch and I strongly recommend Dr. Escobar and his team, to anyone with a pet in the greater Richmond area and beyond. read more

I just started taking my new adopted shelter kitten to Springfield Veterinary Center, after first going to another area vet that was not a good experience. I am so happy with Springfield Veterinary Center!!! Everyone is so nice there, they already seem like family and I will never go anywhere else. The doctors are fantastic, the vet techs are incredibly nice, and the office staff are all super friendly and sweet and caring. They are the best!!! read more

We were so lucky to be referred to Springfield Veterinary Hospital when we moved to RVA a year ago. Dr. Kilgore and the staff are great. Unfortunately we had to put our 12 year old English Bulldog down and could not think of a more compassionate practice to do so. Dr. Kilgore was there every step of the way through our decision making process and most importantly made the day of as easy as possible. My wife's father was a vet for 30+ years and we can only envision that this practice operates the same way he ran his practice in NC. Both of us would HIGHLY recommend Springfield Veterinary Hospital and will use them for our next pet when the time comes. Thank you Dr. Kilgore and staff for the compassion you showed us and Maizey today. read more
