I'm moving overseas with my two cats this Fall, and ODAH has been fantastically supportive about all of the logistics involved. They are one of, if not the only, animal hospital in C-ville to offer the international health certificate service via Dr. Wood who is specially certified. Robin from the office even called me a week before my appointment to make sure I had all of the proper paperwork I needed and spent lots of time going over details on the phone, just to make sure all would go smoothly at the airport. Great experience.

Dr. Wood has been great with our ferrets. Nothing to complain about. ;-)

I was very pleased with the care our pets received at Old Dominion. Not only did the doctor squeeze us in at 8:00 on a Saturaday morning as new patients w/ an emergency, but we were treated excellently, given all the options and financial decisions up front, didn't feel any pressure while we were there and then received a hand written thank you note in the mail! I had been going on the other side of the mountain to save a little $ by going outside C'ville. But I was so pleased w/ Old Dominion and their staff I don't mind to pay the little extra for staying close to home and this friendly office environment.

They miss out on 5 stars because of their prices, which are a bit higher than I could get elsewhere. I've really liked all of the vets I've seen there (especially Kerri Hudson). They're nice, caring, and interested in my dogs. The front desk is polite, friendly, and helpful. I've been to a lot of different vets and this is second only to a smaller, boutique vet in another state. I am also involve in rescue and I often hear of them donating time and/or services for certain groups. Great place!!

It's certainly not the cheapest place in town but since I've never been one to pinch pennies when it comes my pets' health, I've never minded. They have taken care of my cats since I first moved to C'ville back in '97 and I'm glad to have found them. Pushy? Never. They always give me all of the options, provide low- and high-end estimates, and ask before administering any treatment that I did not agree to up front. (This is a real problem at other vets, I've discovered.) Furthermore, they follow up to make sure my cats are healing up after any procedure and answer all of my questions. Need specific examples? They caught my tabby's heart murmur early on, gave me all the options, and helped me decide on a course of treatment which added years to his life. (@Atm, you might want to look into that "minor heart murmur" before it's too late.) When I needed to give medicine to all of my cats, they got me a deal on an entire bottle to save me considerable money. When one of my older cats was diagnosed with cancer, they gave him wonderful, palliative care that enabled me to keep him comfortable until the very end. And when my other elderly cat developed a growth in her nose, they offered extremely conservative treatment that didn't stress her too much. Most recently, my torbie needed teeth extracted and Old Dominion once again provided professional, caring service and excellent follow-up. Did it cost a pretty penny? Yes, and it was worth it. I won't trust my cats' health to anyone else.
