Preventive care

Dr. Archambault saved my cats life. He was seen at the end of Jan for new seizures and fever at AAVEC a couple times and transferred to Dr A for a Neurology consult. Almost immediately I received a call with updates on my cat and suggested testing. He was very forward with what I should expect and what needed to be done to try and diagnose the underlying issue for my cat. Labs, MRI and CSF were done same day and I received a call later that night with preliminary results. Although they were not what I wanted to hear I was very glad of the thorough testing and communication from the office. My cat was diagnosed with seizures, encephalitis and FIP. What I thought was a death sentence, but Dr Archambault directed me to a group to help treat the FIP, and 6 weeks later my cat is half way through treatment and almost back to normal. His f/u with Dr Archambault was also very informative of what I should expect going forward and he was very kind the entire visit and so was the staff. Thank you for helping my Zeus. I appreciate it more than anything. I would recommend this office to anyone.

Our puppers Sparky was referred here due to a suspected condition that can occur with his breed (cavalier king charles). While we are super sad to have had the diagnosis confirmed through MRI, we're really happy with the care he has received. He was prescribed some medication that has been a night and day difference for him!! We had some issues getting one prescription filled and they fixed it super fast. He's a happy boy again, having the zoomies and excited for each day!!!

Dr. Barker was so sweet to me and my kitty! She joined me in sitting on the floor with my kitty, and tried to do what she could to reduce my kitty's stress. She was great at telling me all the different treatment options we had, and she answered all of my questions very well.

I've never been to an animal neurology but this was an amazing experience. I called and got an appointment within a week and when I showed up to my appointment, everyone was very kind. I only waited for MAYBE 10 minutes and when I was seen, they came in right away and started my appointment. I was in and out with a diagnostic and a way forward and I REALLY appreciated that. Even with my personal appointments, I'm never seen that fast or efficient. Also, everything was very clean which I loved. If need be, I'd be back and/or highly recommend to anyone.

I can not speak highly enough of my experiences thus far. Dr. Archambault and the staff I have communicated/interacted with including but not limited to Katie, Jake, Mandy and others names I do not know or remember have proven what I expect quality care to be. I have a 6 year old cat/Oliver that started having seizures this Summer. I was given two Neuro office referrals by an emergency vet we initially went to. I proceeded to establish care with one of them and unfortunately it was not the place for us. We slipped through the cracks more than once at critical moments leading me to switch Oliver's care to Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake in Annapolis. I am so glad to have made the switch and wish I had gone to them from the start. Everyone we have dealt with, from the initial phone calls to the Vet Technicians, Anesthesiologist, and certainly Dr. Archambault have restored my confidence in my cat's care. They listen to every word with care while remaining focused and do not skip a beat in the process. I feel heard and I feel Oliver is in the best hands he can be in. It is over an hours drive for me and I will gladly continue to make that drive every time in order to provide Oliver the care he needs. Also, They navigate the new normal of care while dealing with Covid with ease. It is not easy for anyone right now let alone providers and while I know they are working very hard, they don't allow you to feel or be slighted in the process. I can not thank Dr. Archambault and the the team at CRVC enough for navigating this new road with Oliver and I.
