I have been a client at Capital Circle Veterinary Hospital for six years and I could not be happier with my experience! Both the veterinarians and the staff at CCVH demonstrate an incredible amount of compassion for animals. My dog is very anxious and the individuals at CCVH always do whatever they can (e.g., conduct her examination on the floor, pet her for a few minutes before starting the examination) to make her feel safe and comfortable. My dog also suffers from allergies. After her first allergy flare up as a patient at CCVH, the veterinarians introduced me to several long-term treatment options that could greatly alleviate her discomfort. (This was after four years with another vet who never mentioned such treatments, despite persistent flare ups.) Although there is no “cure” for allergies, she now leads a generally comfortable life, with only the occasional flare up. The veterinarians and staff are always very patient with my questions and very prompt in providing me with an appointment when needed. It is also worth noting that I am a student on a tight budget and the individuals at CCVH have always been considerate of this fact when helping me weigh the pros and cons of different courses of action. They even offer a multiple-pet discount which has been great since we welcomed a new kitten into our family last summer. They also offer a boarding service (the Fritz). When I board my animals, it is great to know that I am leaving them with such competent and kind individuals. CCVH is truly exceptional!

I have brought my animals to this hospital for over 5 years. I find the staff to be compassionate and understanding. I feel like my pets and I are apart of their family not just a client. The receptionists strive to know every persons name and pet. The grooming staff have a combined experience of over 30 years and almost go out of their way to make the pets as comfortable as possible. They groom with skill and kindness! Dr. Fricke has performed many surgeries on my pets, and I couldn't be happier with the results she produced from them. All of the doctors are amazing in their range of knowledge and the amount of compassion they have for all of their patients. I can easily say I would trust my pets' well-being with them.

Dr. Luke Blanton has operated on two of my dachshunds this year. One had mid back surgery for a disc problem and was completely down in the hindquarters before surgery; Dr. Blanton returned from a trip out-of-town and came in on a Saturday to do the evaluation and surgical procedure. The other surgery was a cervical disc rupture that caused severe spinal cord compression, and Dr. Blanton arranged to see that dachshund quickly as well. Both dachshunds are doing very well - one is recovered after 6 months (but walked on all fours after a few weeks) and the other is still recovering but walking fairly well on all fours after only 18 days. The aftercare received was fantastic, with Dr. Blanton personally calling to check on each. If you have a pet who is showing signs of spinal injury, I highly recommend Dr. Blanton to evaluate and perform surgery. The cost of surgery may seem high (around $2,000) but worth every penny if you have a beloved pet in need. The staff is wonderful as well -- very courteous, caring and responsive. I wish all of my personal medical experiences went this well!
