Colonial Veterinary Clinic

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Dr. K is by far, the best vet I've ever brought my animals to. He genuinely cares and goes above and beyond in all ways. He managed to pull my dog through surgery that was beyond risky! I am forever grateful to him and all the staff. Read Less

II wish I could give a zero. I am new to the area and did not have a vet. My dog went into heart failure and had to be in the hospital for a few days. When he came home he wouldn't eat. The hospital said to take him for an anti nauseous injection to a local vet. I called this facility and told them my dog was very sick and needed this. They said they weren't accepting new patients. What kind of vet doesn't help an animal in need. I asked again stating it was important. They said they would ask when the vets came in and they would call me back. They never even bothered to get back to me. Some compassion. Thank God for Godspeed Animal Hospital. Read Less

Great vets, all three of them. Friendly staff out front. Treat the pets very nicely. Offer solutions that don't necessarily include the latest high tech gadgets. They know the process of the meds and tests the suggest and tell you up front. They offer alternatives it some options are too pricey. Read Less

I love the Doctors there, but i had my old cat put down august 25th and never recieved a bill.. i called and they had the wrong address so i fixed it and waited for a bill... i just received one in February and it had late payments on it... which made no sense.. while i was there fro the procedure i gave the right address and everything.. Doesnt matter.. What matters is the fact that Doctor Mangelsdorf took GREAT care of my cat.. they explained the whole procedure to me while i was crying as hard as i could.. They let me hold him while he left us, it killed me but They took amazing care of him.. They are the best vet around!!!!! They let me take the towel he was wrapped in home with me and i still have it :( Thank you Colonial Vet for everything :) Read Less

I have been bringing our dogs to Dr Sullivan, Dr Manglesdorf, and now Dr Kroenlein (sp?) for 18 years.  They have seen us through new puppy stage to the very sad end of both our beloved Okie and Cooper.  They have treated them as I would want any family member treated.  For a while there they had a woman at the front desk that didn't remember my name or our dog's name EVER.  She is no longer there.  Now the front desk is very helpful and friendly.  Kelly took a real liking to my Cooper and would make over him every time we came and of course the other ladies were very sweet to him too!  He was a real character. On November 2nd we had to take our dear Cooper in for his last time and they all hugged me and cried with me.  Dr. Kroenlien was so amazing with us and with Cooper.  Such an awful experience of having to watch your baby go across the rainbow bridge.  But it won't be long until they see my face show back up with another baby to love.  I can't go long without a dog.  Colonial Vet will be our first stop...

Best vet office you'll ever have the pleasure of bringing a pet to. Down to earth good people and most affordable vet I've ever been to. My Biscuit freaks out with happiness when she sees me packing her bag for boarding too.Read Less

Been taking animals there for years and so have other family members. Today I had an emergency about my cat and brought her there .They said I had no appointment and they cannot help me . So I say to them piss off I will tell everyone about your lack of concern for sick animals Read Less

Colonial Vet doctors and staff are the best! They have cared well for five pets of mine over the past 25 years, and also offer compassionate care to owners when pets are ill or injured and hard decisions must be made. I appreciate how Dr. Sullivan acknowledges and cares for the pets' emotions as well! Read Less

Dr. Sullivan, Dr. Manglesdorf and their entire staff are compassionate, professional, and extremely considerate people. We brought our dog to them for 15 years, and every time they saw her they made sound and insightful decisions regarding her care. I recommend this kind and knowledgeable group to everyone who has a pet. Read Less

Dr Sullivan is a tremendous Vet. He's gruff demeanor is a facade for an amazingly kind loving gentle Dr who has your pets best interest at heart. He has helped us through 2 of our three dogs who have passed away. He helped make the experience bearable. His knowledge is superb and his cost are very reasonable. He does what he does because it is obvious he loves animals. I would recommend Dr Sullivan to everyone. We miss him dearly here in his Alma mater state of Florida Dr Stephen Bolduc, Pam and Finn His favorite Berger Picard Read Less

Excellent veterinary clinic- professional but also friendly. I recently moved to Williamsburg from Colorado with my 3 year old dog (aka soul mate) and Dr. Sullivan fit us in for a new vet appointment and took time to get to know us and help explain the various foliage and insects to look out for in this area. I would recommend this clinic hands down. Read Less

We've been going to Dr. Sullivan for nearly 17 years. The staff here have been great through the good times and the bad. They've seen our dogs come in as puppies and were right there with us when it was time to say good bye. There is a lot of variation in the vet industry, and it's not hard to get taken for a ride on expensive procedures. Colonial vet has always been our choice because of the extremely high level of care they showed us and how conservative and reasonable their prices are. I have referred a number of friends to them coming on the heals of them getting  gouged at other vets. Both of the Doctors there are kind and I honestly don't have a preference when I take my dogs in because I know they both are going to do a great job. Overall, I think you will be hard pressed to find a better vet in Williamsburg that you will want to stick with for years to come. Read Less

We have been taking our dogs to Drs. Sullivan and Manglesdorf for years and couldn't be happier.  Both vets truly care for the animals and know what they are doing.  Their prices are extremely fair, and they explain everything in great detail.  We have seen both vets for various things from routine visits to cuts and bumps to surgery.  They always answer all of our questions patiently and in plain english.  We just had our puppy spayed and microchipped with Dr. Sullivan this week.  It's always hard to leave a pet in someone else's care, but we knew she was in excellent hands.  We drive 45 minutes just to keep our dogs going to these doctors and they are worth it!  I always know my dogs will receive the best care there, and without them trying to sell me on additional services that my dog doesn't really need.  I would HIHGLY recommend Colonial Vet!  Thank you for taking care of my family!

I've tried to use these people twice, because of a recommendation from a neighbor. Both times, we were blown off. One time I went in with an emergency with my baby, and the best they could do was say We'll put IT on oxygen." We lost that baby to cardiac arrest! The next time we called to make an appt, and were put on perpetual hold, so hung up and called God Speed and they were attentive and so helpful, they now have 3 new patients, these duck faces don't.

We've been taking our dogs to Dr's Sullivan and Menglesdorf (sp) for years. They've always been professional and accommodating. I have nothing negative to say about them.  The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Read Less

I just stumbled upon the previous review and wanted to make sure to take the time to provide my own feedback.  Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Mangelsdorf are wonderful.  Our experience has mainly been with Dr. Sullivan over the past fifteen or so years.  I have never, ever seen or heard Dr. Sullivan "talk down" to anyone.  He is professional and exceptionally kind to the animals and their owners.  We have had two dogs put down due to old age and Dr. Sullivan did one and Dr. Mangelsdorf did the other.  Both times were naturally upsetting to us but both doctors were incredibly thoughtful.  We have also had other friends who have had to go through the same experience and they too found Dr. Sullivan to be very supportive and professional.  Dr. Sullivan has definitely not "made millions" and he does not "cater to the old and elderly".  The fact is that Dr. Sullivan often provides his services at a deep discount to his patients and frankly, we sometimes wonder how he manages to make any money at all.  As a case in point, he has been driving the same car for at least ten years.  I hope that people will ignore the previous review.  It is totally inaccurate and unfair.  My guess is that putting down her dog was very upsetting so she chose to lash out at the veterinarian rather than express her emotions in other ways.  Implying that Dr. Sullivan is a misogynist because he does not have a female doctor on staff is insane.  His practice is extremely small; he only has one veterinarian there besides himself.  So what if he is male?  He employs a number of women and has always treated them well.  It is also crazy to insinuate that he does not like non-geriatrics.  Additionally, he is the most reasonably priced veterinary clinic in town.  I hear about exorbitant vet bills from my friends who go to other veterinary clinics and I am so grateful for Dr. Sullivan's refusal to overcharge his customers despite the fact that it seems to be the popular trend in both human and animal health care.I could not recommend Dr. Sullivan more highly.  He has always taken wonderful care of our dogs and he has always been kind to our family.  We'd never dream of taking our dogs to anyone else.I will make one final comment about the previous review: if you are considering giving it any merit, I urge you to click on the reviewer's name and read her other reviews.  I'll reserve any further comment and allow people to pass their own judgement about this individual and her cognitive abilities.

I rarely if ever write reviews, but I was scanning the web to see if the Colonial Veterinary Clinic in Williamsburg had a website and stumbled upon a single, bad review for the Clinic.  I just couldn't pass that up without comment.  My wife and I have used this clinic for the past 12 years.  We are talking about two great Vets who truely care about our pets!  When our 19 year old dog finally reached the point where she had absolutely no quality of life, we went to the Clinic for help and they put her down with great care and sympathy.  We are down to one pet right now, a dog, who we occasionally board at the Clinic, and take to the Clinic anytime she needs care.   We trust both Vets and their very professional staff!

The Colonial Veterinarian Clinic in Williamsburg is a SCARY PLACE to take your Pet.  I had my Pet boarded there and when I picked her up, she seemed traumatized, like someone did something to her.  Another time my other Pet was misdiagnosed by Dr. Mangelsdorf, I took my Pet to another Vet and we diagnosed my Pet the properly.The last time my other Pet was taken to Dr. Sullivan (The owner), for a lump on her belly, Dr. Sullivan had her on his operating table to do a biopsy, then Dr. Sullivan called me up at work and started talking down to me like a was a little uneducated school girl who didn't know any better, and told me my Pet had cancer and that I should give him permission to put her to sleep NOW!  I said no to Dr. Sullivan and we should wait for the biopsy to come back and we did, Dr. Sullivan raised his tone to me ans stated he did not agree with my decision.   Guess what ? the biopsy came back and it was not cancer like Dr. Sullivan tried to get me to believe, it was another form of tumor.  I was right and I am not even a Dr., I just used common sense.....We had eight more Wonderful months with out pet, then realized the tumor had taken it's toll and we knew it was then time to put her to rest.  I called Dr. Sullivan to have our Pet put to sleep, once in  the room, Dr. Sullivan told me in his own words "Don't look I am going to stick her in her heart with this needle"  It all caught me by surprise.   I asked several Other Veterinarians if this is how a Pet should be put to sleep and  they said no.  This is a cruel way I have been told to put an animal to sleep. I give Colonial Veterinarian Clinic a no star at all.There are so many other Wonderful and truly caring Veterinarians to take you loved Pets to,  why settle. Read Less
