We had an emergency with our dog Maggie, and our usual vet couldn't fit her in. Thankfully, Vinton Veterinary Urgent Care and Dr. Carey were amazing. They saw her promptly, diagnosed that she needed surgery the next morning, and thanks to their excellent care, she's like a new pup now. Needless to say, we'll be making our next regular appointments at Vinton Veterinary Hospital.

They were obviously very busy but got me checked in with kindness and patience. As always, they were very good to my little Gracie. The vets there are top notch, have done both Gracie's knee surgeries, and at 10 yrs old she jumps after squirrels like a puppy. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

The Veterinarians here are absolutely amazing. They are caring, compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable. To be honest, I can't speak to the competitiveness of their pricing but to tell you the truth pricing would not change my choice of Veterinarian Clinics. If you are in the Roanoke Valley area, they are worth the drive!

On two separate occasions I had an emergency with one of my fur babies. My regular vet couldn't see me either time. Vinton veterinarian had me in and my pet being checked within 30 minutes of my calling. They were great with working with me on a reasonable payment plan when it was needed. They took great care of my babies. Great staff

I always have a great experience when I go to Vinton Vet. My dogs actually like going. Everyone is always so professional and kind. And Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Kurbow are amazing! I'm sure they all are I have only ever had these two. I'm going to hate trying to find a new vet when we move!

We have been taking our dog here since 2014. It is a tremendous vet hospital and you can tell the folks here truly love animals. We see Dr. Gallagher and couldn't be more pleased with him. He is calm and patient with our dog who has anxiety when going to the vet. He is also very knowledgeable and honest when it comes to the care of our dog.

This Veterinary team is amazing and does awesome work! I had my baby boy, Pluto, taken to this clinic on same day for being super sick! They were able to get him seen as quickly as possible which did not take all day! He is doing so much better and couldn't have done it without their help. They also saved me the trouble of scrambling for money for a EVS trip! Definitely recommend them for your animal! Super nice and attentive team! Keep up the great work
