I am always very happy for Dr. Textiera. She is lovely, competent, personable and very intelligent and caring. *** BEWARE *** of the receptionist named Giselle. She is completely unprofessional, negative to the point of rude, inconsiderate, hostile and filled with overwhelming negativity. It is surprising any business would allow a person like this in a client facing role. Regardless, she is enough to keep me from going there - so I schedule visits to actually avoid her. And I am not the first person to note this substandard customer service level in a legitimate review. She is deliberately slow (or perhaps that challenged, though, I truly think it is deliberate) and she exudes negativity.

I took my cat to Montrose Animal Health Center‎ from the time I rescued her about seven and a half years ago until I moved out to Centreville last summer. We mostly saw the woman veterinarian. I have a bad memory for names but she's really nice and took good care of my cat. I would have kept taking my cat to her except that my cat cries the entire time she's in the car and it's just to hard on her to drive that far. I regret that I can't take my cat back to Montrose Animal Health Center‎ to see her former doctor (although I found a nice new doctor at Centreville Animal Hospital). The staff was very nice about faxing my cat's vaccination record to my new vet. If you're in Fairfax I highly recommend Montrose Animal Health Center‎.

I was first introduced to Montrose roughly 8 years ago when I adopted a Rotweiller (Bailey) from a work collegue. Bailey was a patient at Montrose so we decided to keep taking him there. I also had another Rotweiller (Marshall) at the time that was a patient at a Veterinary clinic in Annapolis, MD where we reside. It took all of one visit with the staff at Montrose to realize that this was the place for both of my dogs. The commute was a bit lengthy (over an hour each way) but the service was unmatched. Marshall experienced complications due to Cancer and had major respiratory complications during one of my visits. In fact, he would have passed away at Montrose had it not been for Dr. Texiera's quick reaction and willingness to go above and beyond her job description. Instead of giving up hope, she literally placed my dog in her own car and sped him to an Emergency Animal Clinic 20 miles away! Had it not been for this extrordinary Veterinarian Marshall wouldn't have lived. "My boys" are now deceased but as a result of the outstanding care I received at Montrose, they have a customer for life. My family is considering another dog and you can rest assure that he/she will be treated by Montrose's professional staff.

I came here upon my friend's recommendation after a poor experience at Centreville Animal Hospital. We've gone there ever since, even though it is a much further drive for us. We've seen all of the vets. They are very professional and are up-front and honest about costs and even discuss cheaper alternatives if available. They boarded my dog after he was attacked by an off-leash pit bull (took him to an ER vet in Vienna- Hope Center recommended by Montrose as it was after hours). Would highly recommend Montrose (or the Hope Center) to anyone.
