How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Staunton River Veterinary Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing

Consider pet insurance

We live an hour away and could not imagine having any other vet! Whether home visits or coming to your office, you have the most amazing and caring staff. Thank you for everything you all did for Scrappy Dog and our family yesterday. You all have the biggest hearts ever and we appreciate that so much. Losing our Scrappy Dog is heartbreaking but we are so thankful to have had you there helping him (and us). Bless you all for the love, healing and comfort you give.

It is with heavy heart that I write this review. I have been bringing my dogs to SRVC for over four years. During that time, even during COVID, I was happy and satisfied with Dr. Turnbull and Dr. Steins knowledge, compassion and professionalism. I was constantly recommending SRVC to people looking for a Veterinary Service. I am not a panic type dog owner who calls in frantically when ever one of my pets are off. My dogs and I are always respectful, on time and I pay my bill when we do have an appointment. Recently one of my dogs sustained an injury to her leg. Of course it took place on a Friday late afternoon. I went on the SRVC web site and requested an appointment. I’m a realist and didn’t expect an immediate reply but thought I’d hear something. I made my pup as comfortable as possible and waited out the stressful weekend. She was in extreme discomfort and when Monday morning arrived, with no response from SRVC by late morning, I called the office. I was greeted with an answering machine. I left a message indicating what we were experiencing and requesting a call back to make an appointment per the instructions on their answering machine. When several hours passed with no call from SRVC and my growing concern for my dogs health and comfort, I called the office again. The call was answered by an unidentified lady. I explained my situation with my dog and she informed me there were no openings. This individual then informed me I could call in the morning to get on the sick call list but then she told me that list is already full and it would be several days before I could bring my injured dog in. When I questioned her and protested to this treatment she said “this is a clinic”. I’m not even sure what she meant by that. Apparently SRVC now only handles appointments only and if your pet has an accident, you are on your own. Confused as to what to do I hung up. I actually was thinking I’d get a call back with an appointment, because I was a dedicated customer with patients who have history with SRVC. Again, that call never came. I called back again and expressed my disappointment. I stated I may have to take my dogs to another Veterinary “Clinic” and this individual, who is the same person I talked to earlier, said “OK”. That was it. There was zero concern for the well being of my dog or zero interest in maintaining me as a customer. Because of the flip answer I asked to get my dogs records, which she had ready when I went to pick them up. She handed them to me without a word. I took my dog to the Urgent Care Facility in Lynchburg. They were extremely professional and helpful like SRVC use to be. I know SRVC isn’t a hospital and in the end my dog didn't require a hospital, thankfully. My dog was injured and in pain and needed a professional to put both animal and owner at ease. Staunton River Veterinary “Clinic” didn't care.

The vet was very nice and explained everything to us. Our puppy was behind on shots and she wasn't going to push them on us since it was our first time there but I asked about them and she replied with I didn't want to push that on you. I thought that was very considerate of her.

Best veterinary office ever. Always friendly. Dr. Carrie and Dr. Jessica are amazing. Both are SO friendly, knowledgeable, and just total rockstars. They're always upfront about cost. I've never been surprised by anything because it's always been told to me upfront. I can't say enough good things. We've been coming for a year now and you definitely have lifelong patients with our pets.
