He was VERY patient and empathetic. He said he wanted to do her blood work and run an ultrasound. This uncovered a tumor in her liver and a blood panel that had nothing good on it. Dr. Spiers and every nurse and every staff member made sure they cared for her AND me as the process went on. They calmly told me how the process would go and what options I had. I was given all the time I needed to be with her, and I held her in my arms as she left. Someday I will have another pup, and AMC will be my go-to for all of their care. I recommend them without reservation.

This vet is very professional and honest, especially in emergency situations…read more I took one of my dogs to a different emergency vet at first (called ahead) then when we arrived 30 minutes later, they were at capacity and turned us away. I frantically tried figuring out another place to go which is difficult to do on a Sunday because the majority of veterinary centers are closed. After scrolling on my phone for what seemed like forever I found River Run Animal hospital which is a primary vet with a urgent care unit. I gave them a call and explained the situation. I was lucky enough that they did make an appointment and we got the last urgent care appointment for the day, which is great because it was about a 40 minute drive. We had a little bit of time before heading that way for our appointment so we headed home. We were home for less than an hour when Maggie's vomiting started to contain some blood. I cleaned it and her up as best as I could so my other dog wouldn't get in it and left to head to this appointment. We arrived 35 minutes early for our appointment. By the time we got there her body temperature was dropping, she was turning purple, and very lethargic. Water was always available to her all day but when she drank some she couldn't keep it down and she ultimately stopped trying. They took her to the back immediately and did a chest X-ray since I informed them she has a heart condition and kidney condition. They place her in a kennel that constantly blew oxygen in to help her breathe. They informed me that from the X-ray her heart is no longer heart shaped but circle shaped and there is a tons of fluid surrounding it. The veterinarian came right out and stated (without me asking) she is in pain and suffering right now, it is probably the time to consider to let her go. This straight forwardness is something my husband and I appreciate although it broke our hearts to hear those words in reference to our 6 year old baby girl. The veterinarian also said that another option would be to transfer her somewhere where she will be in an oxygen ventilated kennel for the night to be seen by a cardiologist the next day, however, the veterinarian also stated the clinically the odds of her making it through the night were extremely low. After some tears and calling my husband to come to the vet, we decided that as much as we want to keep her with us it was better for her to say goodbye. They brought her to us wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket like she loves and we spent 15 minutes with her telling her how much we love her and how sorry we are before they gave her the injection. They allowed us to make the decision whether we stayed with her during the injection or not. We stayed and witnessed her last breath. The veterinarian was very informative of what to expect before and during the injection process. They allowed and encouraged us to grieve where we found fit best for us and as long as we needed even after she was clinically gone. We decided to have her cremated and chose a beautiful urn with a picture frame. Not that the price mattered for us, the cost for the cremation and urn wasn't too bad. Thank you Dr. Adwell and team for your professionalism, and loving caring heart. I only wish you had been able to get to know Maggie before this.

We showed up at UrgentVet (Carytown) an hour or so before they closed. Everyone was incredibly compassionate and wanted to give our dog the best care possible.

They provided us with detailed instructions for his care, his aftercare was flawless and he healed perfectly. Thanks to them, he survived what could have been a terrible outcome. Highly recommend!

I came in with my two cats around 11 AM after they were exposed to Adderall. They were evaluated…read morereally soon after I arrived. The front desk staff was so kind and understanding. I also had both cats in one smallish carrier, which I know isn't ideal, and I didn't feel any kind of judgment. They also assured me that I did everything right for my cats - exactly what I needed to hear. One of my cats was determined to not have ingested anything, so they told me I could take him home. They also offered to keep him there for monitoring if I was worried. My other cat was definitely exposed. He was disoriented and agitated, with potential for a number of serious complications as the meds made it through his system. I believe it was Dr. Grant who cared for him, and he told me he had to be kept for 24-72 hours and explained everything they could and would do for him. All of the potential care options and prices were very clearly explained to me, and it actually ended up costing less than the initial lower estimate. Still a lot, but they didn't just pump my cat full of all the drugs on the list. Just before 9 PM that day, he called and updated me. He was incredibly informative and calming. It made me feel good to have left my cat there. Also, my cat hates vets with a passion, and no one was mad that he was such a terrible patient. They just modified treatment as needed and kept me updated. The ER doc called again the next day at 10 AM and explained why they wanted to keep my cat for a little while longer. He told me to call back at 4 PM. When I did, I only had to wait a few minutes and then he updated me again and said everything was 100% fine for discharge. I've never been more panicked before, and I don't think it could've gone any smoother than it did.

Just weeks after losing our 13-year-old yellow Lab, Waylon, in July 2025, Bodhi--who grew up with Waylon--began showing signs of sadness and developed an ear infection. Though his initial treatment went well, we noticed he still wasn't himself, which led us to request further tests before a planned trip. That's when we received the devastating news that Bodhi had spleen cancer. From that moment, everything moved quickly. Bodhi was admitted to the ER and then ICU, where he stayed for several days. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but the kindness and compassion shown by every staff member--from the front desk to the ICU--helped us through it. Special thanks to Dr. Pierre, who cared for Bodhi daily with extraordinary patience and empathy. Knowing Bodhi was clean, comfortable, and treated with such love made it easier to leave him, even though it broke our hearts. On August 30, 2025, we said goodbye to our sweet boy. As much as we hoped to bring him home, we know he was in the best place possible--receiving the care he needed, including medication during a seizure that we couldn't have managed on our own. Bodhi fought hard, but in the end, he let us know it was time. We told him how deeply we loved him and that it was okay to go be with Waylon. Losing both our boys so close together has been unbearable, but we take comfort in knowing we did everything we could--and that's thanks to the exceptional support and care we received. We are forever grateful. With love and thanks, Gracie & Aaron

On 9/14/26, our beagle was hit by a UTV, and another emergency vet called Partners to let them know…read morewe were coming. The front desk experience was unpleasant, including rude interactions with us and others in the waiting room. Dr. Copenhaver was kind and professional. She explained that our dog's initial ultrasound showed pulmonary contusions and discussed oxygen, labs, X-rays, and possible hospitalization. She asked us to wait in the waiting area and someone would get us shortly to see our dog. Based on that conversation, we believed treatment was underway. About an hour later, Michelle took us to a room and presented us with an estimate of $3,500-$3,800 and said, "No treatment is done until you sign the estimate." Before agreeing to hospitalization, I repeatedly asked to speak with Dr. Copenhaver again and said I was willing to wait. Instead, we were given another estimate of approximately $1,700 without hospitalization. When I asked what had actually been done while we were waiting and how my dog was doing, Michelle told me she did not know, only that she was in an oxygen cage. She then stated, "We would be doing more, but we've been waiting for y'all to agree and sign the estimate." The cost was not my primary concern. I was being asked to make a significant decision while the person presenting the estimate could not tell me my dog's condition, and I could not speak with the vet. We ultimately left against medical advice as I'd rather follow up with her normal vet than keep her at a facility with staff that treated people the way Michelle was treating us. The following evening, animal control came to our home after someone from the veterinary facility contacted them with concerns about our animals and our injured dog. The officer observed our injured beagle. She was alert, wagging her tail, and breathing normally. She was moving slower than normal but she had just been hit by a UTV. The officer complimented us on our kennel set up and was surprised our beagle was doing so well after the report they received. I fully support reporting legitimate animal-welfare concerns, but I wanted to understand what prompted this report, especially since no one from Partners contacted us to ask how our dog was doing or about follow-up care. Before posting this review, I emailed Partners asking for clarification and whether contacting animal control is standard practice when an owner declines hospitalization or leaves against medical advice. I received NO response, and that was sent on 9/17/26. Again, Dr. Copenhaver was compassionate and professional. Unfortunately, the communication afterward, the animal-control report, and the lack of response to my concerns left us extremely disappointed and felt it necessary to warn other pet owners.

Neither dog got an exam. They gave them there influenza shot and sent us on our way. Boarding... when we dropped off we had concerns. We asked to see the kennel where the dogs were kept and it wasn't very nice. There was active animal pee on the ground and extremely loud. None of the animals were settled. Whatsoever. The blankets they give dogs are paper thin. Thank goodness we brought our own. On the 3rd day of our dogs getting boarded we get a call that they have run out of food. How is that possible if I packed 12 bags for 5 days and they eat once a day. I packed for 1 extra day just in case. The workers never read the instructions and did whatever they wanted. They fed them twice a day and they weren't even eating. No call nothing. Until they ran out. They offered purina- which my dogs can not eat. They did go out and buy their dog food from tractor supply. But after such the manager acted as if I should be grateful for such a doing. The following morning I get another phone call. Miraculously one of my dogs has a cut under her eye and she needs emergency medical attention but no vets are in but I can pay for them to take her to an emergency vet. They tried to blame my other dog which is insulting enough. We cut our trip short and had a friend go get our dogs out of this place that day. Not only that. I drove my dogs 3 hours to the university (Virginia Tech) to have them evaluated and the one dog professional stitched up by the surgical team to also be told it was not from another dog. Do not board your dogs here.
