If I could give John Rolfe Animal Hospital more than a 5 star rating I absolutely would. Thank you to all the staff at this facility! I recently took a little dog in from a woman who owned her, whom I convinced to let me take the dog to a Veterinarian for treatment! I had noticed the alarming condition of the dog and struck a conversation with the owner who said she did not have the means to pay for the dog's medical care and it had not been to a Vet in 10 years! The poor little thing was such a mess that words cannot describe how badly she looked and smelled.  I was willing to pay for her care even though she was not mine!  The staff in the front was extremely helpful and compassionate as well as Dr. Boyd. The little dog received initial examination, treatment for flea infestation, bathed and would need to be left overnight for sedation grooming in the morning!  Dr. Boyd informed me that there would be no cost to me! What a surprise and what a great facility John Rolfe Animal Hospital is. Read Less

Had such a great experience! Nice clean offices, all the staff was super nice and very knowledgeable. My dog isn't a huge fan of going to the vet. But they made him feel at ease and very comfortable. The vet Dr. Boyd really knew what he was talking about, answered all of my silly questions with no problems.

Today was my third visit this month, and the second of which was the same day as I called for an appointment. My cat initially went for a relatively routine treatment, and then a follow up two weeks later. However today was another story; my cat has a history of chronic urinary blockages, and while his food therapy has worked wonderfully for years, any sign of straining while in the litter box sets off huge alarm bells! Fortunately the wonderful staff at John Rolfe Animal Hospital was able to see him within the half hour! My guy is a-ok (no blockages after all), and the care and sensitivity they showed not just him but me as well was greatly appreciated. As far as prices for their services, I'd say they are very fair and in just the range I expected. If I weren't already committed to moving across town this weekend I'd make them my forever vet (maybe if we don't like the new vet as much they will be anyway). Read Less

My dog tore his ACL and I was new to the area and didn't know where to turn. Luckily I met Dr. Willis at a local pet event and he encouraged me to come in. The quality of care given to my dog (and his worried mother) was top notch. The surgery and recovery would have been much more difficult had I gone to any other vet. They were flexible, always allowing us to come in at a moments notice. They were wonderful to work with, both the Doctors and the staff. They genuinely cared about my pet, which I have never experienced before at another vet. And they were always upfront about what was best for my pet, even if it was not something that I wanted to hear. When we boarded our pet there I knew he was in excellent hands and the relief of not having to worry was priceless. If you have never experienced a good vet before I encourage you to go try John Rolfe, their customer service and quality are the best in town.Read Less

My initial visit with John Rolfe Animal Hospital was very positive. The front desk staff was extremely nice and friendly; however, they struggled with the computer which I assumed was because it was a very new location. Our vet, Dr. Baker, seemed to truly care about our animals and made them fee very at ease through a stressful time. Also, the prices were very affordable. So when I started having behavioral problems with one of my cats, I reached out via phone and Dr. Baker was very prompt with getting back to me. She even sent me helpful articles via email. Ultimately, she suggested I bring my cat in for some testing to see if it is not behavioral.At this point, things went wrong. I brought my cat in for testing and a new vet was handling her case. The new vet, Dr. Tisnado, would talk over me and not listen to anything I said. She also was very condescending and jumped to conclusions. I decided to hang in there and try to reach out to Dr. Baker. Later I found out Dr. Baker had left the practice.A month later, I had not heard back from the vet as they were supposed to do a follow up appointment for my cat. I called them to schedule it and talked to Dr. Tisnado again. She got very snippy with me on the phone and again would not listen to me. Ultimately I made the decision to go elsewhere for my cat's care. I am sure Dr. Tisnado is a great vet and very well trained but her personality and bedside manner did not mesh with what I need from a vet in caring for my cat.If another vet becomes available at this location, I would be willing to try again as it is very convenient to where I live.
