Reviews of The Village Vet (Veterinarian)

Heather Dalby

I think we've seen every vet and have never been disappointed. The staff is always warm and friendly. Our very first visit was to put down our kitty and they were unbelievably kind. They are a little more expensive, but knowing our pets are safe there and that the vets and techs are highly competent is worth so much more.

The people here were nice, but they did not listen to me and it cost me a lot. I brought my cat in because there was something off with him (and his eyes-one was dilated and the other was not). Also, his ears seemed to be bothering him. I asked the vet to look at his ears, which he did (very superficially) and said they were fine- excellent even, and the itching must just be due to seasonal allergies. They sent us home saying there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him and to come back if his eyes didn't get better on their own. A week later, I was back, because he started to cough and his eyes were still out of whack. It was a different vet who saw us this time. Again, I mention him scratching at his ears. But her assessment is basically that he was on his death bed. She urges me to go to an emergency clinic, because she is certain he is in heart failure. She tells me his prognosis is so poor, she understands if I don't want to spend the money at the emergency clinic. (Of course, I still have to pay an appointment fee for Village Vet telling me once again, they don't know how to help us). I leave Village Vet in tears because they convinced me there is probably no hope for my cat. I'm glad I went to this emergency clinic (and spent nearly $1,000 on blood tests and x-rays Village Vet suggested) because they finally listened to me here. When I mention his itchy ears to the emergency clinic vet, she does a thorough exam. Turns out, my cat is not in heart failure. His blood work came back great, as did his x-rays. Lo and behold, the source of all this illness was a SEVERE inner ear infection. There was so much inflammation, it was causing him to cough and messing with the nerves in his eyes. After a couple weeks on antibiotics, he was a whole new cat. The cherry on top of this is that after I leave Village Vet sobbing over my 'dying' cat, they never called to follow up or see what happened at the emergency vet. I'll be going to a new vet from now on.

Very nice and kind and knowledgeable staff. All veterinarians are excellent, although each has their own personality, so you might prefer one over the other as you get to know them. All vet techs are excellent in handling our pups. Clean facility. Slightly higher priced than some other vets we’ve been too, but worth it to us.

Well first off the prices are astronomical. They charge and arm and a leg for simple procedures. The staff is nice to your face but when they aren't next to you they talk about how ugly your pet is or how stupid the owner is. I've heard it personally. Doctor Berry seems ok but he treats his staff very poorly and isn't happy unless he has them all panicked, nauseous or suicidal. Perhaps if he treated them better they would perform better. Doctor berry is a Tyrant. He yelled at one of his employees in his office with customers there. Very unprofessional. I've been charged double the price on items I could get at Walmart for way cheaper. All in all the practice is clean and friendly to an extent. But we will be talked about, overcharged and fooled.

Arriving here, I was greeted warmly. Everyone was helpful and willing to answer any questions I had.

The Village Vet was great with my cat! Scheduling an appointment was hassle-free, the techs are so nice, and the vet had years of experience and really cared about the health and safety of my cat and asked me to call and follow-up to make sure he got better. It is a tad on the pricier side, but sick pets are never cheap, and I don't mind paying for high-quality care. The vet made sure that my after-visit care plan would be as reasonable and as effective as possible instead of sending me off with a bunch of pills I wouldn't be able to get my stubborn cat to take. Having a stellar experience so far!

Everyone at the Village Vet is super kind and knowledgeable but they prices are just absurd. After being quoted over $600 to spay my kitten, I may have to shop around a bit...

We brought Mollie to the Village Vet when another veterinarian told us she was suffering from Congestive Heart Failure and needed to see a specialist. Dr. Berry was able to give Mollie another full year of quality time with us and we cherished every single day. Mollie died a short time ago, she was 15 years old. She had a great full life with tremendous love and care. We sincerely thank Dr. Berry and the rest of the team at the Village Vet who gave her all the medical attention and TLC she needed during her last year. Although we miss our sweet companion more than we can say, we are so grateful to everyone at the Village Vet for the enormous care and support given to Mollie, and of course, to those of us who loved her. We happily recommend the Village Vet to anyone looking for a veterinary practice with that special combination of talented clinicians and compassionate delivery. ~Bill & Marian Falkenstine

The village vet is the only place i take my cat grayson. The staff was very reassuring and attentive my first visit. They greet you with a smile and make sure you leave with a smile. I would highly recommend the village vet to anyone.

Dr. Stump is fantastic. Caring, sensitive, with genuine personal concern for your pet just the way a doctor should be. She was unable to diagnose my pup when I brought him in (he has a rare neurological disease and was not exhibiting all the symptoms yet) but she consistently followed up all week as we tried to figure out what was wrong with him, providing phone and email consults after hours and free of charge. She genuinely wanted to get him better as much as we did and as more serious symptoms emerged she was able to point us in the direction of the emergency clinic in Annapolis with a neurologist on call where he is receiving intensive treatment now. I don't know what might have happened if she hadn't made time in her busy Saturday schedule to find out where we could take him. Thank you Doctor Stump!

Everyone was friendly,and the service was prompt.The only issue I have is the prices. For a quick 2 minute exam and a rabies shot was $109.

Let me state up front that you're never going to her me confuse pets with "my babies". I am not "the animal person" in my house. But I'm married to one and the co-creator of two more. I care a whole lot more about those three, and I am still motivated to say that I am VERY GLAD we use The Village Vet for veterinary services. We recenty had the sad experience of having a cat sicken quickly and need to be put down. It was clear to me at each visit that the staff at The Village Vet cared about the animals they served and the people who love them. They took the time to explain our options and help us understand prognosis and potential outcomes. We never felt rushed or pressured. When we had to make the difficult decision, EVERYONE @ The Vilage Vet was compassionate and empathetic and understanding. I am VERY grateful that my wife and kids are happy that we use The Village Vet.

Dr. Berry and all the vets and the staff at the Village Vet are excellent. Would take my pets to no other place. They provide very compassionate and superb care for our terminally ill Great Dane. She came to love the vets and staff, and actually was able to relax there. It made her treatment that much easier. The staff has gone beyond the call of duty by taking our calls at very busy times and fitting us when very busy. In addition to the Great Dane, we also have cats and lizards. and all have gone to the Village Vet for care. They are the bestest!

I have nothing but complements for Dr. Berry and the team at the Village Vet. We have, over the years, taken 5 dogs and several more cats to the vet and the service and dedication is second to none. Yes, medical care can be expensive - anywhere you go - but the Village Vet has always taken the time to explain the costs to us so we could make an informed decision regarding the care and comfort of our pets. Dr. Berry and team came to our home on 2 separate occasions when we had to make the difficult decision to put two of our pets down - I can not thank him enough for the care and understanding he provided. I recommend the facility with out reservation.

This place will charge you extraordinary amounts for almost nothing. Getting the rabies vaccine, a chip, and documents for my cat cost >$310. Hands on practice was less than 10 min. They didn't tell me in advance they would charge extra for filling out a few pages of papers. The Village Vet is extremely profit oriented.

The seating is awesome!

Danielle Koch

The Village Vet has taken excellent care of my cats for almost 10 years now. They are always very gentle, and really take the time to answer all of your questions and explain everything fully. They understand your pets are your family and treat them that way.

I rushed -- in the heat -- to get to the vet hospital before it closed today at 2 pm, the closing time listed on the website. I got there at 1:50 pm -- just as an employee locked the door and said, sorry, we closed early today. This is terrible customer service. The Village Vet is expensive. The combination of expensive + having the door shut in my face when I need medicine for my dog does not make for a satisfied, or long-time, customer.

We have been going to the Village Vet for years and always have great care, but this weekend took the cake. We had to take our dog to the ER for dehydration from vomiting. Although the ER was helpful, they called us back the next morning with some confusing and conflicting information. Even though it was a super busy day the staff and Dr made time to not only request and review the info from the ER, but call and make sure that we were all on the same page for a necessary return trip. I can’t thank them enough!!! Their kindness and concern for the pets they see is unmatched.

Kyle McCool

Very nice staff and clean facility. Vets are knowledgeable and thorough, but prices are about 1/3 higher than my previous vet and they appear to recommend a good amount of testing and vaccines which also drives up the price tag for a visit. Parking is good and they work with you to schedule appointments. Super nice office cats too :)

Chrissy Walsh

I've had nothing but great experiences with this vet. They are kind, helpful, and thorough. Today when I took my cat in for her annual visit we arrived a little early, were taken back immediately, and I think we were done and leaving the office within 5 minutes of our actual appointment time. I was doing this with a 9 month old baby in tow--and the staff members were super helpful! A few months ago we had to put our dog to sleep and the Village Vet did a house call for it. They were so kind and supportive during that very difficult visit. We were so grateful to have the opportunity for our dog's last moments to be in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by loving people and a peaceful environment. Great work, Village Vet!

They always take care of my handsome boy!

Prices were outrageous! They would have charge me $1000. I went to another place and got it taken care of for <$100. I felt that they tried to scare me so I would pay anything to help my cat.

Alex Wrenn

I've been taking my Boston rescue here for years and have never had a bad experience. They have stayed open late for me when boarding and always call to check how she is doing after a surgery.

Katie Kirsch

We, unfortunately, had to put our new kitten down after taking him to the Pet Emergency Center. Village Vet offered a great second opinion and really took care of the rest of our needs. They are very caring and involved with pet care.

Paul rudolf

They took the greatest care of my cats. Excellent customer service, very warm friendly place. And always greeted with smiles.

Kevin Sforza

I know when I bring my dog to Village Vet that he will receive the best care. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and always are available to answer my questions in person or over the phone. Dr. Berry and Dr. Stump take great pride in their work, and their enthusiastic team is reflective of their fantastic attitudes. I highly recommend Village Vet to anyone.

Ruth Kendall

The care one's animals receive here is exemplary. Dr. Berry and his fellow vets are so knowledgeable and empathetic, both to the animals and to their owners. All the staff - both receptionists and the techs - are caring and very knowledgeable too.
