We know you have many choices when choosing the best veterinary care for your pet, and we’re happy that you’ve decided to join the Virginia Veterinary Specialists family.

Excellent customer service. Dr. Paling (Cardiologist) is clear, concise, and compassionate. I highly recommend VA Vet Specialists for specialty vet care.

Thank you all so very much. It was the best experience I have ever had and I wasn’t the patient. Our little Staffordshire Terrier needed expert attention for a completely torn ligament of her leg. We were completely relieved after meeting Dr. Sara Shillinger, who did the operation. We felt totally relieved after Sara spent the time explaining the process. Very happy parents of our little girl. Thank You so very much.

I couldn’t be happier with their services so far!! Dr. Kevin Stiffler is going to save my pup’s leg after my vet wanted to take it! Took extra needed X-rays and told me 1000x’s more on what was really going on with my dog! If I ever happen to need their services again, I won’t hesitate to call!
