Preventive care

Thank you Dr. Kelley and team! You all are Amazing and we feel like extended family! Thank you for taking such great, compassionate care of our fur babies! We have been bringing our animals to Woodworths for 30 plus years and they are the best!

This is the ONLY vet that helped me in my time of need for my Pet Rats which had to be put down. Made room for us the day we called. Reasonable prices. An very compassionate! I tried the other Animal hospital in town and was basically treated as if my rats weren't of importance......will always be grateful for woodworth. Always recommend them.

I will continue to only come to Woodworth Animal Hospital because of the respect the vet gave my son once he told the vet it was his cat... The vet then only talked to my son during the whole visit explaining to him how our kitten would grow up into an adult cat and how his teeth would fall out the vet even laughed at my son's response to hoping he can find the kitten teeth and have the tooth fairy give him money for teeth that weren't his... The vet then showed my son how to feel the kittens ribs and if they felt too boney to give him more food and test that every 2 weeks. Thank you all for being so respectful and sweet to us when we come in we honestly can't wait to come to the vet again!

Since the onset of Covid the clients have been restricted from being present when their pets are seen and treated. The animals are taken from the owners outside of the building and returned in the same manner. Payments were handed to staff entrusting them to apply to said accounts. I've had 2 very disturbing experiences in this time where it seemed obvious that the pets were not properly seen and evaluated and I was just supposed to "accept" whatever report was given to me in the aftermath. Communication between the vets and responding staff has been poor, and even inaccurate. Likewise has been their communications with me. The results have been upsetting. And in handing cash payments to staff on the outside I was not properly credited for payments, sent bills for money I did not owe, but paid again to satisfy their records. It has been 2 years to determine that I did overpay. And repeated contacts to retrieve my predicament has been ignored. Overall... Dissatisfied with this business.

Our first dog only ever knew Woodworth Animal Hospital, and recently we tried a few vets in C'ville, really did not like the experience, and are so glad to be back at woodworth. Totally worth the drive from Charlottesville!!
