VCA Columbia Animal Hospital at Hickory Ridge

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the kindness, strength, and care of Dr. Michelle Myers. Dr. Myers has been our family vet for many years and knows us and our love for our fur babies well. When I moved back home to Maryland in 2023 with my cat, Céline, I knew exactly who would be caring for her. Dr. Myers truly approaches every animal she meets as if they were her own. She is direct, thorough, and I trust her implicitly. While Céline is no longer with us, I wanted to applaud Dr. Myers' support throughout Céline’s visits to the cardiologist and emergency room. She advocated fiercely for what was best for Céline and stayed in communication with me as we navigated complex decisions. She will go above and beyond for animals (and their people) in ways that matter most when you're in c

The staff is extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. The treat my pup as if he is one of their own pets (with love and compassion).

Great place. They treat you with respect and kindness. Unlike All Paws in MD, that treated me so freaking disrespectful, I fired them and went to VCA instead. So far, I am very impressed!

This is by far the best veterinary practice around. From the staff who answer the phone to the techs and the vets they CARE and love our pets as much as we do. The follow up is terrific, they squeeze you in when urgently needed and give you choices on treatment plan. And even on off hours they help. We've brought 2 family dogs and several service dogs in training we raise here. Thanks for all you do!!!

Both my rescue mixes compete in various dog sports and Dr. Kelso understands the demands of that, being a competitive handler herself. Completely satisfied and pleased with Dr. Kelso as our primary vet. Saw Dr. Moldenhauer for an emergency allergic reaction visit and she was reass
