We arrived a bit late to our appointment, so we understood the rush. However, I didn't understand why the vet had an attitude and seemed like she only liked working with quiet dogs. My puppy was barely 6 months old at the time and a bit reactive due to the new environment and people. We rescued him about 4 days before the day of his appt. He isn't aggressive, just loud. We knew he would be like this, so I brought treats and had a family member wait with him outside until we were called in to minimize the noise/reaction. The tech brought us in and my pup calmed down a bit once in the room. She asked us some questions before leaving the room. She came back in after 6-7 minutes with the vet, Dr. Schreier. Of course my pup started barking again because of strangers in the room. The tech sat down on the ground to play with him to keep him calm. The vet started side eyeing my pup because he was being too loud and barking over her talking. She didn't take the 10 seconds to greet my dog which might've helped him calm down to be familiar with everyone in the room. The tech really helped him calm down as she sat on the ground keeping him occupied. When we were done, I had my brother take him straight to the car but there was another dog in the waiting room. So, they barked at each other. All of the front desk looked at my pup in disgust like they've never seen a reactive dog their whole life, as if the behavior isn't allowed and understood. They made me feel so bad, because he's just a puppy and still in training. You would think people at the vet office would be the most understanding of this situation, but I guess not at this office. They seemed to only accept and welcome nice, quiet dogs always on trazodone. I paid just like any other customer would and left. I won't be coming back because I didn't feel welcomed or understood.

Took our dog for a same day appointment Friday with concerns. We were handed antibiotics - there was no blood or fecal test. Very little concern or evaluation. We ended up at the emergency vet 4 hours later where they diagnosed him with pneumonia. We will not be returning. Read Less

I've been taking my pets to this vet for 15 years with mixed results, but am finally writing a review because yesterday I went to get an estimate to get my 2 year old cat's teeth cleaned and it was for over $700 with a $270 add on if he were to need a major extraction! If the doctors were warm and compassionate, it might be worth staying, but with prices like these, it's time to move on. Read Less

We took our animals here for years when we lived in Falls Church. Since moving to southern Maryland, we use a mobile vet for checkups, but sometimes go back to Falls Church for things that the mobile vet cannot treat.  Dr. Jacobs is wonderful with animals (I think he likes them more than people, I can relate to that).  And Dr. Yam is great also terrific.  I saw Dr. Starke for the first time recently. She was just wonderful with our beagle. Read Less

Have used them for years from checkups to ear infections to boarding. Nice staff great vets caring all the way around. My dog has his energy back after getting his ear infection treated! Very responsive and flexible appointment times. Read Less

My wife and I have been using FC animal hospital for several years and they have taken great care of Cleo, our cat. We have been very pleased with all the vets that have taken care of Cleo. They have readily identified medical issues and recommended treatments that have worked well. I would highly recommend Falls Church Animal hospital to anyone. Read Less

Run away from this place: they are greedy, incompetent, and don't care about the animals. After we came back from a two-week trip, we took our cat for an annual exam and with a concern that he had lost his appetite. A couple of days later we also noticed he had a lump on him - something that wasn't detected during the presumably comprehensive annual exam. When we took our cat back to Falls Church Animal Hospital, they charged us again, even though they obviously failed to notice the lump the first time. Overall, their rates are outrageous compared to leading animal clinics in Northern Virginia: based on our own experience two-three times higher. Their mark-up on meds is beyond outrageous: we were charged $25 for a pill that costs pennies at reputable online pharmacies. They also kept pushing expensive and often irrelevant tests. Then we had to ask multiple times to see the test results/reports after only receiving inadequate and incomplete information on the phone. Apparently they believed that testing was complete with charging our credit card and that follow-up would be necessary only to order more expensive tests and not really to discuss any treatment plan. We ended up paying north of $1,200 and with absolutely no idea of what's going on and what their treatment plan was. This was when we drew the line and went to another clinic, and we're so glad we did: much more competent doctors and staff, much better attitude, and fair prices. The cherry on the top is that nobody from Falls Church Animal Hospital cared to follow up and check about the well being of our cat, even though the lump was very alarming and possibly malignant. All we got was an email from them inviting us to go back to do the annual exam - something we just did two weeks earlier (see the beginning of this review). It's shocking that these people are still in business - looks like their business model is to mostly prey on affluent older clientele from the Falls Church City area. They should be ashamed of themselves. Read Less

I had mixed experiences about this place. My first visit was pleasant, staff were very attentive and the doctor was compassionate and caring. Of course this made me to take my cat to this place for another time. However, my next visit was horrible, both the staff and the doctor. No smile, no compassion to my cat. As the nurse was trying to hold my cat so that the doctor can give him a shot, he was so forceful that my cat started to hit himself several times on the table. I told them that during our previous visit, a pheromone was sprayed, which made my cat very calm and mellow, and asked them to use something similar. Both of them said that it wouldn't work. The nurse continued to use more force almost violently to try to hold him such that SEVERAL LUMPS OF CAT FUR WERE SCATTED ALL OVER THE PLACE. While this was all happening, the doctor was just watching. I had to ask and even beg several times to convince them to use the spray, since it was a horrible thing to watch. Eventually, after seeing me panicked, the doctor showed the spray, and said "If you want I can use it, but it won't work." I said, to please use it. Of course, as soon as she used it, my cat calmed down, and the doctor could easily give the vaccine with no rejection from my cat. After all this, they didn't even apologize! I don't know why they would keep a spray in the room if they think it wouldn't work. And clearly they should know it works, then why insist on not using it? Is it because it is expensive and they don't want to waste (!) it at the expense of torturing my cat? Sorry, but I am not returning to this place. Read Less

We have used FCAH for a number of years and we highly recommend them.  The staff is very welcoming, caring and professional.  Dr. Kimberly McGrath is excellent.  She is very thorough, precise, patient and knowledgeable in answering all of your questions.  Our dog is a 11 year old German Shorthaired Pointer (Beau).  Beau was trembling, lathargic, not eating and grumbling as if in pain.  Dr. McGrath couldn't find anything out of the ordinary but suggested an x-ray.  She found a huge mass in his stomach which had fluid surrounding the mass.  She immediately sent Beau to have emergency surgery.  She called ahead to the surgeons and emailed Beau's records so no time would be wasted.  We were not sure Beau would survive the surgery.  The procedure that needed to be done was very delicate.  Thanks to Dr. McGrath's expertise, Beau is back home after 5 days.  He's eating, wagging his stubby tail and his eyes are bright once again.  We are so thankful.  Dr. McGrath truly saved Beau's life....

I don't recommend this vet at all. I started taking my cats here three years ago when I first moved to the region and feel like my cats have been very secondary in every conversation. Mostly we've talked about what they will charge me for what they are doing next and what cool service I can buy. Every visit here ends up costing upwards of $250 dollars no matter what I actually go in for.With that in mind I've started looking for a new vet. However, this weekend my older cat got sick and it was very scary. Something similar had happened before and my husband and I deemed it best to take her into the vet because they'd have records of her last time dealing with this issues. While I can't speak to the exact events as my husband took her in while I had to go to work, I know that he feels that moving on is definitely our next step. As we've been looking for a new vet, we did not take our cat in for shots (indoor cats, no balcony, high floor). We judged this lapse in shots to be okay while we searched for a new vet, but while our cat was hurting, no less than three people reminded my husband that she hadn't had her shots from the person he called to try to get ASAP to the vet herself. While the person on the phone remembered her duty to try to up sell the appointment, she did not check notes for the cat and ask my husband to sedate her before coming in. Not there was time to do so before the appointment window, but no reminder from the people we needed to have help us think through the problem when we were scared and worried for our pet. When my husband arrived for the appointment he was told he should have sedated her. I think my husband was very scared for the cat and frustrated, but there was little attempt at compassion from this office. Just lectures and price points.I want to say, I understand the logic that a cat who is a month overdue for her shot may be a risk to treat. I do think circumstances play a factor and that a conversation could have been held to assess those risks. Read Less

Our cat is very well taken care of at Falls Church Animal Hospital. The staff and vet are very caring and communicative. Following our pet's teeth cleaning, we received a follow up call asking how she is doing. We are very happy with the quality of care, even if costs are somewhat high. Read Less

Had the most awful experience here with Dr. Danielle S. (didn't catch the spelling of her last name) and technician Pam. I got a recommendation to come to FCAH from a friend who takes her pets here and loves it but has never seen Dr. Danielle S. or Pam (the vet technician). My brand new puppy is 10 weeks old, has had some vaccinations and wormers, but we just got him on Saturday so we wanted an exam, explanation of what additional vaccines he'll need, and some general puppy questions answered by a vet (I've never had a dog before and Google isn't always reliable...). When I first came into the room with Bucky, Pam offered him a whole, hard dog cookie but I explained that he didn't have the teeth for it yet and offer my own soft chews instead. Then she suggested a $600 puppy package to me. When I asked any questions about it (I didn't have a sense of the medical needs related to a puppy, again I've never had a puppy before), she said to talk to the vet. Then the doctor came in. She too tried to give him a whole, hard dog cookie before I explained to her too that he does the soft chews. Then, she tried to pick him up from where he was laying by my feet and hit his head on the bench in the room! She ignored it until I said something. After a 5-minute physical exam (everything was healthy/good), she launched into selling the puppy package. I said the that Pam mentioned it to me and that I'd think about. At this point, the doctor's attitude shifted from just rushed, to rushed and annoyed, and that she'd rather be anywhere else in the entire world than in the exam room with my pup and me.  When I asked any questions of her (I asked questions about proper pup care like hygiene, when it was safe for him to be around other dogs, etc.) she interrupted me in annoyance before answering my questions. Then she reverted to talking about the puppy package. She spoke way too fast and rushed me to make a decision. When I finally asked if I had to decide "right now," she said yes. Why couldn't I take info, think it over, and come back another day? When I asked clarifying questions about vaccines he'd need, she proceeded to confusingly explain far too rapidly (using medical terminology that the average person is not familiar with) what seemed like a laundry list of vaccines, sprays, pills, and other requirements and make notes on a sheet of paper that seemed to list the various things she was talking about. When I repeated that I needed to think about the package and talk it over with my husband, she insisted I call him right then and there in the exam room so she could quickly administer some shots. Bucky is 11 lbs, 10 weeks old, and had hist last shot 7 days ago. When I explained that my husband was at work so I'd wait to talk to him this evening, she said that wouldn't be possible! (WHAT?!) When I asked for the sheet so I could better understand the various requirements for my new puppy and make an informed decision about the puppy package, she said she would write up notes for me and left the room. She came back 5 minutes later with Pam, and asked if I had made a decision. A decision on what?! I told her I was waiting for her notes so I could understand what vaccines and treatments she was recommending for Bucky, considering he has already had several vaccines and treatments, and that I couldn't make a $600 decision without discussing it with my husband. Her response was she didn't have time to wait for me to make a decision ON WHETHER TO BUY THE PUPPY PACKAGE because she had appointments every 30 minutes (Pam, looking uncomfortable, echoed this). At this point, completely flabbergasted at her rudeness, I explained that maybe if when I had called to make the appointment, someone had said to me that the puppy package is the only way to get treatment, I would have been better prepared for this experience. But I was told that "the first appointment is free and he probably won't need any shots." The doctor looked at Pam and smirked, before saying I needed to decide because she had another appointment. I told them we were leaving and we'd call back if we wanted to follow up on anything. With a curt goodbye and swift turn, they both left the room (through a back door).  This doctor is not listed on the FCAH website so maybe she is new to the practice and/or to animal care, but some bedside manner would go a long way. If she treats me this way, I can only imagine how she would treat my pup if I wasn't there (besides wacking his head, which was probably due to her rushing). I'm incredibly dismayed at this experience as a new pet parent. I expected more given the ratings and the pleasant demeanor of the person on the phone. But from the moment the doctor walked in the room, she seemed rushed, annoyed, and just generally had a bad attitude that made me feel like an idiot for asking any questions. I hope they rectify this problem b/c although the place seemed nice otherwise, this experience was terrible. Read Less

I absolutely love Falls Church Animal Hospital. I have been going to them for the past 15 plus years. Everyone is very friendly and extremely helpful. Most recently I have had the pleasure or having Dr. Puentes, who is just been great with my sweet dog. Dr. McGrath has also been awesome. BUT really all the doctors are amazing! You can't go wrong! If you're looking for a new place to take your sweet babies, Falls Church Animal Hospital is the place to go!!! Read Less

My 16+ yr old Lab, Bella fell victim to old age so I decided to take her to Falls Church Animal Hospital to pass gracefully. The staff was very courteous and professional and made her feel like she was right at home. The team treated her as if she was their own pet and gave my family and I all the time we needed to pay our last respects.  About a week after her passing, I was surprised to receive a condolence card in the mail...signed by their entire staff.  Although this was a small gesture, it meant a whole lot and truly showed the care and compassion they have for everyone human and animal that walks in their doors. - Ryan J Read Less

We have consistently had good experiences here, particularly with Dr. Jacob and Dr. McGrath. They listen to our concerns and treat our cats with gentleness and respect. Their care has been effective and thorough without adding on extras that our cats don't need. Read Less

We have been taking our cats here for years.  The doctors are always caring and compassionate and take time to understand not only the needs of the cat, but the needs of the owner.  Recently, we had taken our cat to a dental specialist, who removed a number of his teeth and gave us a pain medication we were supposed to put into the inside of his cheek.  When we had trouble giving him the medication, the specialist was very condescending and unhelpful.  We brought him to Falls Church, and Dr. McGrath told us that there was a version of the same painkiller that could be given as an injection in his scruff that would last 3 days.  We were very grateful, and so was our cat.

Disappointing front desk team (aka Naomi). SUPER RUDE. I don't think we ever checked in/ checked out of this vet feeling satisfied. My bf and I have been taking our pup Kenzo here since he was rescued in December of 2017. We were hoping to make this his forever vet bc of the great reviews and it is conveniently located near our home. But almost every time we take Kenzo in for a concern they are quick to prescribe us medications that are not needed. It feels like they care more about the money rather than giving full attention on our dog. If we had to count the number of times we went in for a vet visit just to google Kenzo's symptoms, it would offset the price we paid for the puppy package ($580). Unfortunately, we will be switching to Caring Hands Animal Hospital in Merrifield. Which I highly recommend for those looking for doctors that are more personable and more caring towards your pets needs. We really recommend Dr. Richards!!! :) Read Less

We have been with FCAH for more than 20 years. There are no more dedicated veterinarians and technicians anywhere in northern VA.

Initially I had my doubts, but over the last two years Falls Church Animal Hospital has taken great care of my Jindo Annabel The folks at the front desk are a bit rude and after a couple years of it I've had about enough of all that. Its less ag to just take my dog to Caring Hands. Perhaps over scheduled appointments, charged a bit more for procedures than other vets in the area, maybe worth it maybe not. Communication regarding my dog's health has always been good but far too much ag around appointments. Cost fluctuates when you let them know you considered another vet. By switching vets we are missing out on a chunk of coverage under their Playful Paws program - but I still would recommend the program if you decided this is the vet for you. Read Less

Our bichon needed to see a vet while we were traveling. Falls Church Animal Hospital was closed to us and we took a chance. From the initial phone call, where they worked him in during a booked day, to the wonderful treatment our dog got from them, and the free first visit (unexpected!), this was a quality experience. My husband commented, "Can they be our vets from now on?" (Wish they weren't hundreds of miles away.) We recommend Falls Church Animal Hospital highly. If they treat clients half as great as they treated us (strangers), this is a place you can trust with your pet. We're grateful for their caring treatment, exceptional care and superior-quality service. Read Less

Absolutely love this clinic and the staff. I've always felt like family here and they go above and beyond to make sure your furry one is cared for. Even after moving away from Falls Church to Gaithersburg, MD, I STILL make the drive to this vet for my dogs because they are so wonderful and have a great annual packages that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. When you have an appointment that day, they write your animal's name on the cute light up board near the front desk with some kind of drawing-- small touch, but makes it more homey and personal! Without a doubt the best vet I've taken any of my dogs to in 25 years. Read Less

Love the staff and doctors! So helpful and caring! I am updating this post bc FCAH has gone above and beyond for my dog Lily. Lily is frequent flyer with leg/paw injuries from different accidents. Every vet I have seen here is amazing with Lily. I appreciate Dr. Puentes and Corine going the extra mile for Lily this round. Thank you! Read Less

I have been going to Falls Church Animal Hospital for several years with multiple animals. They are always kind and care for their patients like they were family. They were there for us when we had to make the hard decisions of putting our animals down when their time had come. They offered their thoughts and prayer and made donations to training programs and research in our pets name. We just had to take my girl in for a knee problem and they were so good with her and reassured us that she was going to be okay with some TLC. I recommend them to any of my friends and family that need a good vet who will care for and love their pets like family. Read Less

I've come to this place 4 times since June. Each time I feel like I'm at the DMV. Next! Next! Disappointed in the staff. My dog ended up having demodex (mange) and a bacterial infection. This place cranks us out like we're at the DMV and I think my dog needs more concern/time than that. Our appointments last around 10 minutes before they tell us we're done, pay for the medications--and then I end having to go back the next week. He's gone to the vet 4 times in the last month-once a week basically- because they won't take the time to diagnose him properly or thoroughly. They finally did a thorough culture the 3rd visit ONLY because I asked/complained since none of the past 4 medications they've given have alleviated his issues and he's gotten worse. I also got a second vet to come look. She was much better than the first one. At least she took the time to explain what issues he had. Although she talks a mile a minute so I felt like we were on some time clock to get out. The culture finally came back, and I was told yesterday all the medications he's been taking since June 12 has been "useless" against his infection. Well no way I acknowledge that it's often hard to diagnose humans, much less pets that can't speak. However I expect there to be a thorough evaluation before you just throw any medication at him. Not to mention, it is NOT cheap to go visit the vet 4 times. There have been side comments of "none of the medications were working" to "the dosage given last time was too small." They also told me you usually get worse on the new meds for a week before it will get better. Oh really? We're on week 7. Last but not least, I had medication that was waiting for me to pick up for over a week. I didn't even know. No one called me. When I showed up my visit, they told me I had a past bill because I never paid for the medication. Umm what medication? So you had meds for my dog but didn't bother to call me about it? I wish I can say they were a caring place but it feels more like a vet mill where you're just cranked out. They probably are nice people--too bad they seem to be short on time to actually show any personal investment in the pet. Go somewhere else unless you enjoy shelling out money on "exams" and expensive medications for the fun of it. Read Less

The staff at here are some of the most caring, compassionate people I know. Their ability to go above and beyond what is expected of them is astounding. Recently I was forced to make the difficult decision of putting down my FELV+ cat Chesterfield due complications of FELV. The staff here were as much there for chesterfield as they were there for me in our time of need. Not only that, but days later, I received a hand signed card from all the staff giving me their condolences. As if that wasn't enough, I just received a letter in the mail detailing how a memorial donation to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine was submitted by the staff at FCAH. Words don't do justice for the staff at Falls Church Animal Hospital. These people are the best! Read Less

Although the vets here are highly skilled and caring (why I gave 2 stars), I would say dealing with the office staff and nurses is very challenging to say the least. The admin staff needs to show more appreciation and respect for owners PAYING for services and medical care for their pets.Read Less

I used to live right down the street from FCAS. Literally. Perhaps 2 minutes away. We started using them because they were...well.. close. We now live in Ashburn. You know there are 3000 vets out here, and I'm sure they're all excellent. I'm still planning on taking my hairy son to FCAS. From Ashburn. To Falls Church. Let that sink in a moment. We've boarded dogs there. We've taken part in their Paws Programs. We've gone in stressed out, and left relaxed, and stressed, and once....heartbroken, because we had to put down our beloved hairy son Brandon. I have tears in my eyes right now...still...just thinking about that day.But even in that awful moment, you could see the character of FCAS. They were respectful, kind, and calm. They asked us questions, gave us answers to ours, and most importantly gave us the time we needed to say goodbye our own way. If you're one who reads Yelp reviews, understand that FCAS is fantastic, and worthy of your trust. They've earned mine again and again and again. Thanks for reading. Read Less

I am writing this review because of my wonderful experience with Dr. Wolfe in regard to my Himalayn cat, Luna. Luna had been vomiting for weeks without any apparent cause. I saw Falls Church Animal Hospital, my regular vet, on three separate occasions because of this. First they treated her for an upper respiratory infection (which she had) with antibiotics, gave her an anti-nausea medication, and subcutaneous fluids but the vomiting continued. I came back to have x-rays of her abdomen done and blood work to rule out any underlying diseases.  At this point in time I was not under Dr. Wolfe's care but Dr. Yam and Dr. McGrath who are also very kind and caring. Dr. McGrath thought that Luna may be constipated and that was why she was vomiting. After 3 enemas, fluids, laxatives, and more anti-nausea meds, Luna was still throwing up her food. I came back a third time for an ultrasound because at this point we thought maybe Luna had a GI obstruction but we found nothing on the ultrasound. You can imagine how stressful and frustrating this was for me. I was worried sick and Luna was losing weight. That Friday, Luna was still throwing up her food so I called FCAS and Dr. Wolfe was able to see me that evening. I explained to her that I believed Luna wasn't vomiting at all but rather regurgitating her food. The food coming up was intact so I knew it wasn't GI related but something to do with her esophagus (which is why the anti-nausea meds weren't working). Dr. Wolfe heard me and acknowledged my concern and agreed that I needed to see a specialist. She got on the phone right away and got me an appointment with Veterinary Internal Medicine Practice in Manassas that Monday. Not only that, she spent 10 minutes on the phone with the vet I would be seeing explaining what was happening with Luna. She then proceeded to print out a map and directions for me, provided me with supplies I needed for Luna, and hugged me at a time that I really needed a hug. Dr. Wolfe went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful to her. Roughly $4,000 later, an esophagoscopy uncovered that Luna has an esophageal stricture which is a permanent narrowing of the esophagus. Luna will be on a near liquid diet for the rest of her life along with an antacid. As long as she maintains her current weight, I won't need to take further action. Another reason I wanted to write this review is because when I did my own research, I found nothing from real people who have experienced a stricture and I hope this can be helpful to another person. Again, Dr. Wolfe is amazing and overall FCAS is great and I would definitely recommend them. Read Less

I have been seeing Dr. Rogers with our family pets for 40 years, starting when I was 3 years old and would accompany my mom in with our crazy Irish Setter, Erin, and our not-the-smartest-dog-on-the-block Cocker Spaniel, Jigsy. To this day whenever I take my own dog into see Dr. Rogers, I am instantly calmed when he walks into the room. So much of it is due to his calm demeanor and clear love of animals, and part is knowing what thoughtful, thorough care he has take of my family's cherished pets for so many years. I am always touched that after all of this time he still remembers my family and me. You will be sorely missed Dr. Rogers, but the happiest of retirement to you! Karla Quist Conway Read Less

I got both my dogs neutered there and the staff was very attentive and the veterinarians were extremely caring. But unfortunately the receptionist seams to care more about the language you might use to describe your dog's problem than the problem itself. In the heat of the moment, super concerned about the appearance of swollen "testicles" on my recently neutered dog, I described the situation as my dog having swollen "balls" right on top of its "dick", first comment I received from the receptionist was "wow what a use of language you have". Which obviously now besides being concerned about my dog, I am mad at the receptionist for her lack of consideration for my worries and on top of that diminishing my speech as a customer. Also when I was transferred back to her to make an appointment, she giggled at my complaint as if I was a joke. If a receptionist of a hospital has issues with how non medical customers explains issues about privates, maybe she should be working at a nursery taking care of plants. Read Less

I just adopted my dog in October and asked for recommendations from my neighbors where to go. FCAH came up the most and I can see why. From the front desk staff to the vets and assistants, everyone there seemed to genuinely want to put my dog and myself at ease. Read Less

I have been taking pets to Falls Church Animal Hospital since the early 1970s when my class Guinea pig (named Sonny Jurgenson by the sixth graders) got sick. All of my own family's animals-- many cats and dogs over all those years-- have received excellent veterinary care and a lot of TLC. And-- as one or another passed away-- the understanding and support was wonderful. Can't say enough for the staff! The Falls Church Animal Hospital is an excellent place to take your pets for care.

I've been a client since before Dr. Rogers arrived. Currently, Dr. Yam cares for my three cats. My cats have always received the best of care, and I would trust any of the doctors with Fresca's, Ollie's, and Suzy's wellbeing! Read Less

Dr. Amy Yam was fantastic. I visited the FC Animal Hospital because my dog had blood in her urine. Dr. Yam calmly told me what to do, had my dog stay there for a couple hours so she could get a good clean urine sample and gave me some antibiotics. She has followed up with a phone call on the results of the urine sample and we are taking the proper steps to heal my dog. It was a very thorough appointment making sure my dog was properly diagnosed. Read Less

My prized puggle has a health condition that the doctors here have been amazing monitoring.  They seem to really understand her condition and offer her amazing care.  Her appointments are never rushed and they always check to make sure any medications that they prescribe will not interact with her problem.  Another vet in the area had previously given her an antibiotic that caused a seizure, so I was weary of choosing a new vet.  I am so glad I found this place.  They are also the only ones in the area who she allows to trim her nails.  I could not be happier with her care here.

Great and compassionate staff. My poor little Miss Kitty was very sick and could not be saved due to her advanced age and illness but the staff was so nice to me and offered me a shoulder to cry on. I would recommend them to all of my friends. Read Less

My first experience last year with FCAH was pretty decent. The doctor took time to talk to me about the benign cyst on the back of my dogs neck. Price was, after finding out what others are paying for visits elsewhere, reasonable enough. But yesterday, I felt completely rushed by the doctor. It seemed that the same cyst which was now an abscess had gotten majorly infected and was oozing everywhere in the vets office. Before he could explain much to me (which at the time I could understand), I still didn't feel like I thoroughly got an understanding of what could be happening or what I should be doing. The entire staff is delightful, helpful, patient... But now I feel like I need to go get a second opinion, pay MORE MONEY for no reason when he could have taken more time with me yesterday instead of rushing me out.  I am not happy with my experience at FCAH yesterday.

Decent care. About DOUBLE THE COST of other vets in the area. Last time I went was for some dog pink eye ointment. After the mandatory full body exam, total cost for exiting with one very small tube of ointment? $212. Same exact thing a few months later at another vet - total cost $47. Then I found the ointment (Pfizer manufactured) on e-bay for $3.95.Bottom line: they are good enough. But WAY over-priced. Read Less

Our experience with the Falls Church Animal Hospital staff left much to be desired in terms of professional competency and customer service. Our purebred Burmese cat had some severe itching problems that were initially diagnosed as 'nonspecific allergies' by one of their vets, for which our cat was given a steroid shot which temporarily relieved the itching, but did nothing to cure the underlying, and still unidentified cause. After getting a prescription for an oral antibiotic for the cat, we were told that we would perhaps have to put our cat on a special diet and/or medicate him for the allergy if the symptoms continued. During a follow up visit, we saw a different vet at their practice who took skin scrapings and determined that the problem was that our cat's skin was infested with Demodex (a skin parasite), the treatment for which was a multi-month regimen of a powerful pesticide with a follow on option for a lime-based dip. This diagnosis was accompanied by another round of antibiotics prescribed to control the staph infection our cat picked up from scratching his skin until he bled. We followed the prescribed treatment regimen and took our cat back in after the treatment period to have him checked. On our third follow up visit, we ended up being seen by the first vet again who disagreed with the second vet's diagnosis and prescribed additional antibiotics and gave our cat another steroid shot, which again did nothing to treat the underlying cause of our cat's problem. We asked specifically that the vet administer another skin scraping test to see if the regimen of very expensive pesticide we were prescribed had done its job in clearing up the Demodex, but the vet did not conduct the test and sent us home with more antibiotics. After picking up our cat's records from Falls Church Animal Hospital, we will never use their services again. Though their front office staff is affable, their lack of staff coordination, the inability of their professionals to collaborate on a simple case, inattention to basic customer requests, and somewhat exorbitant fees are cause for customers to re-think patronizing this establishment. Given that we were recommended to this practice by our cat's breeder for their reputation for handling issues unique to our breed of cat, we are sorely disappointed with our experience. Read Less

The doctor is great and the staffs are also very nice.**************************Our regular vet's estimate for the dentistry was way expensive.so we had to search a hospital for our dog's teeth cleaning.I found this hospital on Yelp,  saw the reviews and gave a try!I am so happy that I took my dog here.I really liked that the doctor was very practical, honest and professional.Some hospitals, they ask you unnecessary things, and it just seems like they try to make more money.Such as following check ups etc, even when you don't need to... But this hospital, it was reasonable and my experience here was very good.And most importantly, my dog is so fine now and I am just happy!! Read Less

We moved to this area a couple of months ago, and had to find a local vet for our dogs.  We chose Falls Church Animal Hospital based on the reviews here at Yelp.  We saw Dr. Stephens, and I was COMPLETELY impressed!  We have a  cantankerous old Mini Schnauzer who finds all people aggravating... it was the strangest thing to watch Sargie warm up instantly to Dr. Stephens.  Sargie doesn't even particularly like our children, and he's had YEARS to warm up to those guys.I really liked Dr. Stephens, too.  He's not pushy, or critical... and he's a real natural with animals.  I would DEFINITELY recommend this doctor to anyone moving to this area with pets.  The office is nice, the reception area has an area for kids... and it's easy to get in and out of (you can exit from the main road, or pull out of the back of the parking lot to have an easier turn back onto the main road). Definitely a five star vet's office. Read Less
