We have been going to Dr. Gail and Dr. Manning since 2006 and we would not go anywhere else. They were wonderful when our dog had to have a serious surgery. Dr. Gail was confident and agreed to do the surgery and put our minds at ease. Our dog was cured! Then, he got very sick at age 14 and Dr. Gail stayed optimistic and kept him in the hospital at a very reasonable fee. Everyone was so kind and caring through it all. Dr. Gail called and updated us herself during the 2 weeks he was in the hospital and encouraged us to come and see him whenever we wanted. Unfortunately, we had to put our Bruno down and Dr. Gail and the entire staff were so kind and just absolutely wonderful. We got a new dog and we take him to Dr. Gail too. I really am shocked by the negative reviews. Emergency hospitals are for emergencies. Bostic is very good about scheduling appointments very quickly. If they can accomodate you they will. Everyone who works at Bostic has been there a really Iong time, which speaks volumes. We tried 2 other vet's in the area and Bostic is by far, the Best. Once we found Bostic, we stopped going anywhere else. We have recommended our friends and family, and they go to Bostic too. I would highly recommend Bostic to anyone!

I've been going to Bostic for years. They have always been good, and have never turned me away. There are two Doctors there. They get busy, and just can't drop everything all the time. I was there when they had a dog that was hit by a car and a well person came in wanting them to see their animal. They referred her to the emergency hospital, BECAUSE THEY HAD ONE DR WORKING LATE, AND HE WAS WITH THE DOG THAT GOT HIT BY THE CAR, and she got mad. People assume that they are to receive special privileges because they have been going there a long time. Just because you didn't get your way or they didn't kiss your butt doesn't make them a bad business. They could have said nothing and told you to leave. They in fact told the lady what was going on, and they would call the Emergency to let them prepare for her arrival. They didn't have to offer that. They do a good job there. The prices are fair, not like some of these other places my friends have gone to. Meds are expensive thats not the Vets fault. Dr Gail is very nice, she cares a lot for the animals, and the owners. I've seen her come out and and and just talk to the owners to explain in layman's terms what was going on. She will work to do what she can so you can afford the things needed for your animal. It's business, not a free service, so you have to pay for things that get done. You would never not pay your doctor because you don't like something they recommended, or drop your insurance. People need to get real. I've had several dogs, and when Dr. Jim was there, and Dr Gail I've always had faith in what they and their staff were doing. To see these negative reviews gets me to believe the people wanted a hand out, didn't get it and got mad. Bostic Vets #1. R

I've been taking my pug here since we first got him in June of '09 and I have never been disappointed! They offer lots of services and I've used them for checkups, vaccines, neuter surgery, bathing/grooming, and boarding. Every time we walk through the door, we're greeted by my dogs name, which makes me feel good. The way the staff interact with him lets me know that they enjoy him and that they take good care of him while he's there. Its also very convenient that they're open until 8pm two nights a week. I highly recommend Bostic Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for a vet in the Virginia Beach area.

!!! I am new to the area, and have been looking for a vet for my dog. I stumbled apon an add for bostic vet and called and made an appointment, which the girl was very polite and helpful. I showed up for my appointment the next week. I did not get in until 20 minutes past my appointment time. And let me just say that any vet I have been to in the past has been very loving and playful with my dog, he's a very gentle small dog. Well that was not the case here... The vet was very rude and standoffish. She barley tried to make a relationship with my dog at all. I understand she was busy, but c'mon if my dog doesn't trust you he isn't going to let you touch him. And then she was very pushy to do procedures and tests that are not necessary, and proceeded to tell me how I need to care about the health of my pet. Which I do, I have no children so as far as I'm concerned he is my baby. but she was very pushy and acted like I am a bad pet owner because these specific tests were not needed. And then she took my pet in the bak to look at him in better lighting and claimed she got busy and had to put him in a cage... While I was sitting right there!! After all said and done I ended up paying 60$ for one shot, a free office visit and terrible, terrible service!! Will never got back.

I was a customer for the last twelve years and this is the last one. Twice I have had a pet that needed emergency care and when I called I was told that they could not see my dogs and was referred to the emergency hospital. If you are suppose to be treated like family, why would they not see my pets who were in dire need of help. All they want is your money and by the way, it is cheaper to go anywhere besides this place. Do not go here…I was sad to think that my dogs were just dollars signs to them...
