I have been going to Animal Medical Center on Mill Dam Road for quite some time now. Actually, over 20 years! I have always taken my cats there for any type of Medical Services they needed. The doctors and staff there are exceptional! They are professional, caring, are very compassionate to both your needs as well as your pets needs. They are reasonably priced when it comes to services and will most certainly work with you when it comes down to making payments. I recently took my 17 year old cat to be checked out because he just was not himself. He was very lethargic and off his feed and had lost some weight. Of course I was concerned, but after some tests and examinations which actually cost less than I had anticipated, thank goodness it was good news and that he was doing just fine. He was only showing signs of normal aging for cats. Shortly after returning home, he started eating again and started to return to his usual feisty self. The doctors at Animal Medical Center were very thorough and carefully analyzed the test results to be sure there was nothing that they missed. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their diligence and service. I will continue to use Animal Medical Center for as long as I own any pet. And by the way, they do have another office that is on Shore Drive. I have been to that office only once, but the doctors there are the same doctors that practice at the Mill Dam Clinic. As you can see the five stars say it all! Very highly recommended! Read Less

The staff was able to answer all my questions. Our dog, Nutmeg, is really a member of the family. The Vet was helpful and caring. We followed the Vet's advice and he got well really quick. I am on a strict budget, so this office is a perfect fit. Read Less

My husband and I have been very pleased with the excellent serviceprovided by all the staff at Animal Medical Center.  Most recently the last few months, we have had Dr. Powell work closely with us as our sweet kitty, Angelgirl, is winding down her life on this earth.  She has been very supportive of us as we have been working with Angelgirl via hydration and regular checkups.  This is a very challenging time for us, but with the help and care of the Animal Medical Center, we can find comfort in knowing that our Angelgirl has had excellent care throughout the years.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! I cannot put into words how happy I am every visit. The front desk staff always remembers our dogs before we even have to say their names. They show so much love for our babies. Our vet, dr. jones always spends so much time answering our questions. I never leave feeling confused or anything like that... just satisfied with my visit. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I got a quote on the phone $300-$400 to bring my children's 1 year old female cat in to get her shots, have her spayed, and chipped.  After paying the $150 for the shots and the feline AIDS & leukemia test and doing some internet research as to the average spaying cost of a female cat that quote seems about right.  Maybe a bit high since as the doctor said this is a "private practice".  Well it seems whoever i spoke with on the phone was wrong and now i'm holding itemized quote from Doctor Andrews of $650.00(low end) to $730.00(high end) to have a female cat spade.  That includes the $49 for putting in a chip.  I asked why it was so much?  "We are a 'private practice' if you want to take her to the 'shelter' it's not as much, but there's probably a waiting list." said Dr. Andrews.  The 'shelter' being the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or as most of us know by it's acronym SPCA.When i get home the first thing I do is Google average cost to spay a female cat.  Top hit:"These routine surgeries typically cost up to $200, depending on the vet and the facility. However, more affordable options are available to pet owners through lower-cost spay/neuter programs and clinics."-petfinder.com May 9, 2017"While the cost to spay a cat varies, the operation typically runs from $300 to $500 for a female cat and around $200 for a male when it's done at a private, full-service veterinary practice, said Cory Smith, spokeswoman for The Humane Society of the United States."-petmd.com May 9, 2017The $650-$730 quote I received was not even close.  Keep in mind this is southeastern Virginia and per capita income in the region is consistently below the national average, also keep in mind Mill Dam Animal Medical Center is a 'private practice' and if I want to take my 7 & 9 year old daughter's cat to the 'shelter' it will be substantially less but i'll have to likely get on the waiting list.  No thanks. I was more than prepared to pay the $300-$400 quote i received on the phone when making the appointment.  Getting the cat up to date on her shots, spayed, and chipped that price seems about right. My family has taken our pets to this Mill Dam Veterinarian for years going back into the early 1980's.  It's convenient and we live less than a mile away.  Never had a problem and prices have always been within the reasonable.I don't believe they're under the same ownership they were going back into the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's.  I could be wrong but i do know that this same vet owns the other veterinarian on Shore Drive and it's like a consortium of half a dozen or so veterinarians that have come together. Who knows, who cares What I do know is we won't be going here again.  Keep in mind they don't take American Express or Discover.  Too convenient for their clientele?More likely too much juice for the credit card companies by one or two percentage points versus Visa and MasterCard for the liking of the Mill Dam Animal Medical Center.

The front desk staff is caring and efficient. Both BoBo, my cat, and Gracie, my dog, are patients of Dr. Davis. Recently, Bobo was diagnosed with a failing liver and hyperthyroidism. He lost six pounds and was literally at "death's door". Dr. Davis spent so much time explaining his illness and treatment options. Although I was not hopeful, I followed her treatment plan and today Bobo has gained four pounds and is recovering. Since this is a difficult case, I am cautiously optimistic, but so thankful for the superb care Bobo has received, and for the precious time that I've been given to spend with him. I would highly recommend Animal Medical Center and especially Dr. Davis!! Claudia Liebig Read Less

My parents take my dog here and she generally doesn't hate it, so we like it a lot. They're very straightforward and friendly and seem to genuinely care about the animals. I had to take my cat in on short notice but they accommodated us and got us in quickly. Read Less

My puppy had an emergency situation.. my sister has been using this vet for more than 20 years and has been billed on occasion. As such we assumed an emergency, along with her A+ standing, might allow me to be billed since I didn't have the funds, which I knew would be excessive, available at that time of the day. The receptionist was not only not willing to discuss my situation with the doctors but she was also short and extremely rude. So I spent my $700 elsewhere.. and will continue to go elsewhere. The emotional stress she caused me was unnecessary and if she cannot deal with the public at least pretending to give a flying eff about their pets than she should work doing something which does not require any empathy, a virtue she sorely lacks :( Read Less

Took my dog there since he was puppy. They push brand foods constantly for one. My dog has problems releasing his glands so when we asked them to release it, we were told my dog didn't need help. A second opinion told us different. Also I him up in the hotel for 4 days, I come back to my dog having kennel cough. Read Less

I honestly can not say enough GREAT things about Animal Medical Center. They were my first line of defense in helping to save my 11 week puppy from a potentially fatal disease and it all began with them squeezing me in for an appointment despite her symptoms being typical of a routine upset stomach (and me being a little nutty) and transpired from there. The wonderful vets at AMC continued to call and check on her during the whole ordeal even after she was transferred to the emergency vet and onto the NC State emergency vet. All of the front desk staff, nurses and doctors are incredibly kind, caring and knowledgeable. More than anything, they go well above and beyond their call of duty and assist the pet AND pet "parent" in every way they can. Doctors Powell, Adair and Jones helped with my dog and will forever have my utmost appreciation and I will always recommend AMC to everyone I possibly can. PS: their recommendation to think about pet insurance (which I ended up signing up for) ended up being a lifesaver, literally. I am forever grateful! Read Less

Wonderful and compassionate veterinary practice! Dr. Powell is a great addition to this group. The vets will spend the necessary time with you and your pet to make sure that you understand procedures or medication directions. Their end of life care is very compassionate and kind. Read Less

I have three cats and a basset hound. They have saved one of my cats life two times. They have helped my basset to lose weight and be healthy. I have always been treated well and my pets, also. I brag about the care I've had from them. I have lived here all my life and have been to many different veterinarians and these are the best I've had. Read Less

Our 10-year old boston terrier had a venomous spider bite (presumably a brown recluse) on his inner thigh, starting as a punctured hole and spreading to a 5" x 2" wound. Dr. Ashley Powell, a young vet, went above and beyond duty to help him, stitching it up, checking up on him almost every other day in the beginning, telling us to call if we had any concerns. We are so highly impressed with her, and so happy to have her as our boston's veterinarian. We are happy to report that Duke, our boston, is now doing very well after all these weeks! Read Less

We took our 11 year old cat that had an anal gland abscess to the Animal Medical Center after we were unhappy with the way we were treated at Banfield and were much happier with our experience! They made us and our cat feel very calm and comfortable and assured us that even though it was the nastiest and biggest abscess they had ever seen he was going to be ok. All the doctors we have worked with, especially Dr. Powell, and all the ladies at the front desk, especially Bailey, are all awesome! We will be taking him and our other cat to the Animal Medical Center for the rest of their lives! Read Less

Extremely friendly staff. Pays very close attention to your pets. Exceedingly proficient service. Doctors are extremely informative about any questions or concerns you may have. Our family has a black lab, yellow lab, and I maybe have a boxer. ALL breeds are treated equally and with care.Read Less

I absolutely LOVE this vet! Since we've moved here to VA Beach last year I stumbled into this vet on accident when my dog had an allergic reaction and they got me right in and took good care of her. And I have taken my cats there for several reasons and their just so caring, and love the pets. Not to mention they are affordable. I am so glad I have found such an amazing vet. When are time up is here in Virginia (since were in the military) I am going to be so sad since I can't just pack them up and take them with us. They are that amazing. I recommend them highly!

I "thought" that this center was great and treated my dog great but after getting told they could find nothing wrong with my dog and sent me on my way with nothing but nausea medicine I had to go to the emergency vet on a Sunday and pay $299 to find out what was really wrong with my dog after she got worse once the meds wore off. I paid the animal medical center $250 for nothing. I don't recommend them at all.  You have better luck going to an emergency vet. Read Less

Animal Medical Center has been my parents vet for 30+ years and through all of their Shelties!  They feel so comfortable with the quality of care they receive from both the staff and the doctors.  Recently the clinic I work in was in need of a diagnostic product ASAP and thanks to Lou they were able to help us out until our order arrived!  It's so refreshing when clinics work together for the good of their patients!  Thanks Animal Medical Center!

Animal Medical Center has been a fixture in the Great Neck section of Virginia Beach for over 25 years, and has been an invaluable medical partner with my family since the mid-1980's.  Over the years, the group --- especially Drs. Allan and Cindy Adair and Robin Davis, and a number of the Vet Techs, especially Denise --- has helped keep our half-dozen pups happy and healthy, and also helped keep the adults in our family in the best spirits possible when faced with an animal sickness or death.  The group exhibits just the right combination of outstanding professional medical care and compassion, and has, more times than I can remember, gone out of their way to do everything possible to help our dogs recover from an illness or injury.  More than a few times, their normally scheduled office hours did not stand in the way of providing medical care when it was needed.  You get a real sense of a Vet's dedication to her calling when she meets you at her office early on a Sunday morning, to insure our critically ill Dachshund is properly hydrated while recovering from a potentially lethal illness.  This is professional behavior driven by genuine caring and from the heart,  not with an eye on the financial bottom line.  In times like those, we appreciated and loved the Animal Medical Center team like our own family.The Group also operates a satellite clinic on Shore Drive, near the entrance to the CBBT, to serve folks living in that part of Va Beach.  Normal office hours are extensive, and include 8 AM openings most days and late (8 PM) evening hours on many weekdays.  I cannot recommend this Group highly enough for all your veterinary needs.

I do not know all the docs at this vet's office, but I ADORE Cindy Adair!  Best vet ever!  Very patient and never acts rushed.  I've been taking my 3 dogs to her since 2004.  Responds to phone calls and emails.  Awesome vet.  To save money, always do vet med comparison shopping on the internet and bring in the lowest price you find and they will MATCH that price!!!  I saved over $170 on dog meds last time doing this.  (Side note: I have at least 8 neighbors and friends who now go to this practice.)Cindy works at a second location on Shore Drive too, so when you call ASK to see Cindy Adair!  You (and your pets) will adore her, and more importantly than that, you will receive top notch care without outrageous prices.
