Compassion Veterinary Center

After being with another vet for over 10 years, I decided to switch to Compassion - and I am so glad I did. The difference in care, communication, and overall compassion has been incredible. The entire team truly lives up to their name. They have taken the time to get to know my dog and both cats. They explain everything clearly, and make all of us feel comfortable and cared for. It’s such a relief to finally feel confident and supported again when it comes to my pet’s health. Highly recommend!

Spoke with Chrissy over the phone, who is the recpetionist here at Compassion, yesterday. I could not justly express in the English language how wonderful she was to talk to, but needed to share with the world that she brightened my day. Times are tough, and pets not being healthy and happy at home is a toll on the soul, but Chrissy made the burden lighter. If she is the example of how your animals will be treated here, then look no further for care of your dog. Believe me, I know service, probably better than anyone, and she is absolutely the best. This office and probably all of Virginia is lucky to her. I feel blessed just to speak with her on the phone, and look forward to saying hello to her in person when I make it in. Chrissy (Christy?) needs a raise, great asset to the team there,

Newer to the area, came here a few weeks ago to establish care for our pet. We found the medical staff to ne excellent but the receptionist scared us away for good I think. She was so ingenuine... she looked very unprofessional and her sly, nasty attitude seemed par for the course. Acted like she is a teenager who has never worked before. She looks like she would fit better in a cabaret than a clinic, but possible she used to dance and just was on stage too long. She clearly didn't know anything she was talking about, was coy and catty when I asked her a question. I didn't want to write this, we loved Dr. Foster but as I'm reviewing places in the area I felt the need to steer others away from here. One of the staff in the back said the entire office has had issues with this team member and

I’d reached out on a Friday morning when my feline friend wasn’t feeling well. Vomited, didn’t want to eat, and running a low grade fever. Cats are a bit of an unknown for me, but I knew he wasn’t feeling well. Chrisie promptly answered my call with professionalism, empathy, and kindness for my concerns. She found an appointment slot for Griffin that was only an hour out, which I snagged. Dr. Proietti was absolutely fantastic. I explained right off the bat I was a bit of basket-case that morning. I’d been dealing with a multitude of losses lately and I was struggling to hold myself together when my cat showed signs he wasn’t doing well as I feared the worse. Dr. Proietti was incredibly kind, empathetic, thorough, and approachable with any questions I had. He redirected me by explaining h

This veterinary practice goes above and beyond in ways I have never seen before. It truly feels like they care about my dog and are doing everything in their power to help me and her. For that, Compassion truly sticks out among the crowd. Two weeks ago, my dog began exhibiting signs of weakness where she couldn't stand without stumbling. I called my usual vet in a hurry and I was told they didn't have any doctors in on that particular day, and to reach out to an emergency clinic. After calling around to several places(frustratingly, several of the "24 hour" ERs were either closed or had no available room), the people at Compassion were the first to take her in. It was total happenstance that I found and went to this place, but I am so glad for it. My dog was diagnosed with a cancerous i
