After relocating to the area with my critters I am very glad I found this animal hospital. Lovely and personable staff that was kind to my 17 year old kitty who needed a check up. Dr. Bruce took his time and was very patient in explaining things as he assessed my kitty's condition, and I appreciated that very much.

Dr. Bruce, Anna, and the staff at Read Mountain Animal hospital consistently deliver high quality care to my pets. They thoroughly explain everything that I need to know about treatments, prescriptions, and animal behavior. I highly recommend this veterinary practice!

By far the best vet office I've ever had. My puppy was sick and they went over everything in great detail. Got him going on fluids. He was acting more like a puppy in hours after leaving. The next day they even called to check up on him.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Bruce and his team! They are SO thorough (first vet I've ever had give both dogs a complete physical and discuss diet with us!), take their time and do their due diligence. You will never feel like you're being rushed and they explain EVERYTHING they're doing, the reasoning behind it and will answer every question and satisfy any concern you have about your fur baby.

My dogs are everything to me, so to find a vet practice that really, genuinely cares so deeply about them and their health is so amazing. Their prices are super reasonable, they shoot you totally straight, and I really cannot overstate how much we love the care our girls get from Dr. Bruce, Anna and all of their lovely staff. I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing, well-informed vet practice who go above and beyond for their patients!

Have been going to Dr. Bruce and vet clinic for about 20 years. He is a very knowledgeable vet, compassionate, and dependable vet. always friendly, answers any and all questions with an explanation. Takes his time and doesn't try to hurry you out of the office. A great surgeon for a pet when and if needed. Staff is friendly.just can not say enough about the excellent service.

I am so pleased with how well my dog was treated by Dr. Bruce and his staff. He really took the time to explain her condition and offer solutions. Tyler went above and beyond to help find the medication she needed. I'm recommending Read Mountain Animal Hospital to all my family and friends. Your pet will be in great hands.

I LOVE this vet clinicThey are calm, patient, and explain EVERYTHING! I was a vet technician years ago and I've found it extremely hard to find a clinic that treated my furry kiddos how they deserve to be treated. I have a 97 pound dog who well to be frank doesn't like going to the vet. They were patient and took their time trying to get him comfortable being there.

Other vet clinics have almost seemed scared of him and he could sense that. They have even been amazing with my kittens. I've been beyond impressed with this vet clinic. I would HIGHLY recommend Read Mountain Animal Hospital

I'm really glad to have found this vet and feel confident in knowing that my pet will receive great care here for years to come. Dr. Bruce and his staff were helpful, kind, and incredibly thorough in my dog's examination. I did not feel rushed in the appointment and felt comfortable asking lots of questions about my dog and his care. The price for this in-depth exam was very reasonable. Again, the staff were all very kind and helpful. I look forward to continuing to bring my pet here for his health-care needs.

Dr Bruce and his staff are kind, responsive, knowledgeable and always helpful. We have used them for 15 years and they have cared for our guinea pigs, cats and our dog. Very satisfied!

We needed help importing our 2 cats to Brazil, and the whole office was great! Dr. Bruce was able to successfully complete the necessary health certificate and we had no problem bringing the cats into Brazil upon arrival. Thank you for all of your help.

We have been with you all for years and have always been pleased. My visit on Dec was the first time I ever felt uncomfortable. When I walked in with my mask on no one at the front desk had on a mask. When they call me to the back room with my dog, the nurse had on one. But when the doctor came in to check my dog, he did not have on a mask. I was in that small little room with him and he had on NO mask and he coughed several times and one time he did not cover his mouth.

I tried to stay my 6 feet from him but the room was not big enough for him to check my dog and stay 6ft. I am very disappointed in Read Mountain Animal Hospital for not following procedures and for not helping me feel safe. I just think they need to be a little more considerate of how their clients will feel about the mask situation.

He is so amazing with animals and with fur-parents. I only wish he took Care Credit, because I would then switch all my pets to him

Dr. Bruce is an excellent Doctor. He has seen and provided two of my fur babies with the best care. He is very thorough when giving his patients an examination. Dr. Bruce goes above and beyond to make sure you understand what is going on with your fur baby. He takes the time to answer any questions that you may have. I will continue to take my fur babies to Read Mountain Animal Hospital. I highly recommend Read Mountain Animal Hospital.

Today was the second visit with my cat Bubbles. She's a bit of a diva with some cattitude and I was really impressed with how well both the vet and the vet assistant handled her. They truly made it as least stressful as possible for her. and me. I have two other cats, and I think I need to change them over to this animal hospital as well.

Dr. Bruce and the staff at Read Mountain are incredibly competent and always keep the health and well being of your animals as their foremost concern. We take our two dogs and a cat there and have always found them to be very professional and helpful. We have a dog that requires being muzzled for vet visits and they have always handled him very well.

Have taken my animals to Read Mountain since they opened. Was so glad to find a vet who is obviously so knowledgable and willing to research further if need be. Dr. Bruce has worked with my GSD for years to find a level of comfort for a cronic, complicated health problem. He has referred us out to specialists and completely understands my need for. numerous explanations about his condition.

He and Anna have made themselves available at all times when it was needed. I cannot imagine entrusting my animals to anyone else. They are compassionate and very professional.

We love taking all of our Labrador Retrievers to see Dr. Bruce. He has been our general veterinarian of choice for a long time and he never disappoints. We TRUST him to look after our special companions. One of our boys, Tank, is now the Canine Ambassador for the Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech; many of our puppies are now working Service Dogs and. are in the process of becoming medical alert dogs, emotional assistance dogs, and Pet Therapy Dogs. Their health care is of the utmost importance to us and we are quite humbled to have such a fabulous veterinarian team so close to our farm! We are raving fans!

Dr. Bruce and Anna are wonderful people and have taken very good care of my animals. I have done OFA hip x-rays there and they are reasonably priced.

Love these folks. I found them with my first dog 14 years ago...and they have taken care of my dogs since. Dr. Bruce is kind and super knowledgable and always explains everything. He has answered my calls on weekends and nights when my dog was sick and just goes over and beyond if needed. A few years ago he and his staff saved the life of my best friend's dog from salmonella poisoning. I would not go anywhere else. These guys are like family.
