Muddy Branch Veterinary Center

I have been taking my pup Mya to Muddy Branch for about 7 years now. I moved to VA and actually still make the 40 minute drive because I love this practice so much. Early last week, my dog had a strange bump and I decided to get it tested. Dr. Dercher was the original vet who started on the case and was kind and gentle with my incredibly timid dog. When the results came back less than ideal, Dr. Katz took the time to call me and speak with me for over 20 minutes explaining to me the diagnosis, treatment options and next steps. As a first time dog owner, it was and has been very overwhelming but the patience he took to ensure I understood was incredibly reassuring. He had his team give me a call to schedule and I spoke with both Amy and Jenn, both who provided positive information and hope

I’ve been taking my dog to muddy branch since 2018. I moved to northern Virginia two years ago and I still take her to muddy branch because they’ve always done so well with her and I trust them too much to leave! They’ve always been great about exploring all possibilities when she gets sick and explaining my options in a way that makes it easy to decide what to do.

Muddy Branch Veterinarian Center provides excellent care for my dachshund! During a recent episode of vestibular disease Dr. Katz gave us a same day appointment. He demonstrated a high level of expertise, clearly explained the diagnosis and treatment options, and ensured that I understood what to expect. Dr. Challberg, our regular veterinarian, has a very professional manner that is very reassuring. The care she provides reflects a genuine commitment to my pet’s well-being. Her care has been life changing for our dog Izzy! We have been taking our pets to MBVC for over TWENTY years, and they have my very highest recommendation. Alicia Christy M.D.

Muddy Branch is excellent, from the reception team, to the technicians, to the doctors, everyone was welcoming and warm! The doctor spent time answering every question I had and explained all options available. I feel so at ease knowing this team is helping care for my geriatric cat. Thank you Muddy Branch team, I am so glad we chose you! Update: My cat, Magic, has been on a health rollercoaster over the last 5 months and the Muddy Branch team has been there every step of the way. Ultimately, it ended up being Magic’s time to cross the rainbow bridge. While it was extremely hard, Dr. Katz and team helped me navigate the decision and gave Magic a beautiful send off! So thankful for this team!

I am beyond grateful for the care provided by Dr. Dicello and all the team members at Muddy Branch Veterinary Center. What began as a vet visit prompted by strange new symptoms in my cat after moving to Maryland turned out to be a pivotal moment for my family. The vet at Muddy Branch Veterinary Center had a query that no other specialist or medical provider had thought to ask in the time of my entire family’s ongoing new health struggles: What is your home environment like? This question led me to have our air in my apartment tested, which came as a result of Dr. Dicello's astute observation and concern for our well-being, which single-handedly probably saved my cats’ and my own life (I had been experiencing rapidly worsening health issues since moving into this apartment, and the revelat
