Best emergency vet clinics in Ashburn: find options near you

This is the best vet around! We have seen them many times, including putting our dear puppy down. They are kind and compassionate, thorough and gentle. We are now here with our cat and they have been nothing but fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about goose Creek veterinary Hospital! Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team at Goose Creek Hospital! From the moment you walk in, you can tell they truly care about your fur babies. 🐾 A huge, heartfelt thank you to Dr. Fernandez, who has been an absolute angel with my senior dog, Milo. We recently went in for his first acupuncture session, and the transformation was incredible! Milo was extremely relaxed afterward—it was like watching years of stiffness just melt away. It’s so comforting to find a Dr. who is so gentle and patient with senior pups. Also, Dr. Cleland! She is SO amazing—so thorough, kind, and always makes us feel like we’re in the best hands. If you’re looking for a place that combines expert medical care with genuine compassion, this is it! Milo and I are so grateful to have found such a special team. ❤️🐶

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new vet. Goose Creek came highly recommended and exceeded every expectation I had! I’ve now seen Dr. Stewart & Dr. Cleland for my fur-child’s care. They are so compassionate & you can tell they care a lot about providing you with the best care. They answered all my questions, even the ridiculous ones lol, without judgement. They went into extreme detail, which made me feel comfortable knowing my pup was being well cared for. Also, I don’t want to forget all the wonderful nurses that helped in the care of my pup. They were so kind & welcoming! Kara, Peyton, John & Morgan thank you so much for taking great care of Bella. If you’re looking for a great place to take your pup, or cat, Goose Creek is the place to go!!

Goose Creek Vet Care has been wonderful to work with. The staff is kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the animals they treat. The veterinarians took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure both I and my pet felt comfortable throughout the visit. It’s such a relief to have a veterinary team that is both knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.💗

We have taken our beloved Bimmer here for the past 7 years since we first moved to the area. We have always really liked them. Sometimes it felt like they ran extra testing, which did add to the cost, but at the same time, I would always prefer them to be extra careful rather than miss something. Unfortunately, we recently had to say goodbye to our family member. At the moment when we needed support the most, this team truly stepped up. Dr. Fernandez sat there and cried with us, you cannot imagine how connected I felt to them during such a tough time. This was our first time going through this, and I am actually crying writing this six months later because I am reliving the moment. But Dr. Fernandez gave us comfort and peace of mind when we needed it most. We weren't rushed at all; instead, we were encouraged to stay with him as long as we needed. It was the saddest day of my life, and it meant everything to not feel pressured to leave before I was ready. They even sent us a beautiful gift afterward, which brought us to tears all over again. It was a wonderful gesture. If we ever welcome another four-legged child into our lives, this is exactly where we will bring him. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team to care for their family members. The pic is bimmer in 2022 at the Vet's. Though we love them, Bimmer was not too fond of the place, but he liked the people :).

Dr. Tapia and all staff at Caring Hands Animal Hospital have been amazing during every single visit we have had with them. Everyone is very kind and helpful. I can tell all the staff genuinely like their job and have a true love for animals. I especially appreciate how informative they are of my pet's current condition and what preventative care would benefit my pet in the future to optimize their quality of life. This clinic sends follow up messages to check in on your pet after appointments and also provides pricing estimates that help me decide on future care for my pet. I feel listened to and valued as a pet owner in this clinic and so appreciate all of the care my pet and I have received here. Thank you to the entire staff!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Caring Hands! I recently moved from Arlington to Ashburn, and finding a new veterinarian can be nerve-wracking—but we truly hit the jackpot here. Everyone is incredibly kind, gentle, and thoughtful, and it’s clear that the entire team genuinely loves animals. They also take wonderful care of the humans! They take the time to explain what is happening, answer questions, and make sure you feel informed and comfortable. You never feel as though they are rushing through your appointment just to get to the next one. I grew up in a small town, and Caring Hands has that same warm, personal, small-town approach—where you feel like you and your pet are truly known and cared for. I’m so grateful we found them!

Caring Hands Animal Hospital in Ashburn has been our go-to veterinary practice for our two dogs. The staff is always friendly, caring, and attentive, and we truly appreciate that they follow up to check on our dogs after their visits. The one concern I’ve noticed over the years is the significant increase in prices. About nine years ago, we paid around $75 for a veterinary visit, and now the cost is over $100 not counting vaccinations, etc. The increases seemed to happen gradually and without much communication, which was disappointing. We have been happy with the care our dogs have received, but if we decide to get another pet in the future, we will likely research and compare other veterinary options in the area.

Caring Hands has been absolutely phenomenal with both of our dogs! From routine visits to a couple of unexpected emergencies, their team has consistently gone above and beyond. They’ve always found a way to fit us in quickly, and every time, they take the time to thoroughly explain what’s going on so we feel informed and confident about our pets’ care. What truly sets them apart is their compassion. The last two visits, we had the same vet tech, and she was incredible—so warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in our dogs’ well-being. You can instantly tell that everyone there truly loves animals and treats them like family. I wholeheartedly recommend Caring Hands to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care. Your pets will be in the best possible hands! 🐾

My husky Kodak had a great experience at Caring Hands! I wanted to find a new vet in the area so we went in for a check up and vaccine update. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The vet and vet tech seemed to genuinely care about Kodak and his wellbeing, plus he got lots of treats, so he was happy!

After moving out of town and now returning, I wanted to take a moment to thank Dr. Singh and his assistant, Jaydeep, for the wonderful care they provided my pet. Dr. Singh is incredibly knowledgeable and caring, and Jaydeep was compassionate, attentive, and very thorough. From the phone calls to the in-clinic care, the entire experience was excellent. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands.

They’ve taken great care of my dog Coco during multiple visits—the doctor is knowledgeable, straightforward, and very reasonable in their approach. The staff is consistently friendly and genuinely caring, making each visit a positive experience for both pets and owners.

Dr. Singh always thoughtfully examines my dog and has done so for the past three dogs. I trust his diagnoses and treatments which have never failed. Prices are not inflated, but a bit more market-fair than others.

Excellent veterinarian with great doctors & staff. Dr. Singh is excellent. The team is caring, helpful & thorough. Been satisfied customers for 2.5 years now. Hopefully one day may be open on Saturdays if needed.

It is my first time visting the hospital.. My Cookie been bit by another dog and they immedietly accepted to check him in without an appointment. The Vet and the front desk are so generous..

My chihuahua and I moved out here from California a couple years back. Ashburn Veterinary Hospital was recommended by my landlord. All of the staff are wonderful and have taken the best care of my dog, the light of my life. While my chihuahua has always received dental care, the quality of the care she received at Ashburn Veterinary Hospital is better than anywhere I’ve taken her before. After her first dental cleaning with them her teeth looked better than ever, and she had a remarkable improvement in her energy and playfulness. Even after moving further from Ashburn Veterinary Hospital I still go out of my way to bring her there because I know she is in good hands. My chihuahua is 14 going on 15.

We took our puppy to the vet for his first time visit! Our puppy was so happy and excited! I truly loved our experience with the team. They really love what they do. Very informative and helpful. We asked a lot of questions and they took their time answering us. So very happy that we have chosen this place for our pet!

The entire staff at Ashburn Vet Hospital is amazing! Dr Jones and his awesome team have taken excellent care of my dogs and I am so grateful. They have spent countless hours patiently listening and answering my questions, Love this team!

I would like to share my experience with Ashburn Veterinary Hospital because I feel it would be a disservice to other clients not to. We recently moved to the area and needed to establish care with a veterinarian for our dog’s routine annual vaccines. I brought my young, healthy dog in with no complaints or concerns other than needing his yearly vaccines. We were scheduled with DR. ELIZABETH DOMINGUEZ. During the exam, Dr. Dominguez listened to my dog’s heart and told me she heard a very loud and serious grade 4 heart murmur. As a nurse practitioner, I was surprised and somewhat skeptical because my dog had been seen by another veterinarian only four months prior and had never been noted to have anything abnormal with his heart. I asked whether stress or positioning could affect what she was hearing, but she assured me she was confident in her assessment and recommended that we see a cardiologist urgently for an echocardiogram. She referred us to a cardiology group in the area. When we called and explained the diagnosis, they were also concerned about a newly discovered grade 4 murmur and worked us into their schedule quickly. For the next two weeks our family was extremely worried that our dog might have a serious heart condition. My husband, who is a surgeon, took time off from work to take our dog to the cardiology appointment. At that visit, two veterinarians independently examined him and listened to his heart. Both stated that his heart sounded completely normal and that they did not hear any murmur. They even asked us if we were sure that we saw a licensed veterinarian and not a student! Dr Dominguez created a very negative reputation for herself with this practice as they were shocked that we were referred there. Afterward, I contacted Ashburn Veterinary Hospital and spoke with the office manager and the medical director. I want to acknowledge that the practice handled the situation professionally. They were extremely apologetic for the stress this caused and the medical director refunded the cost of our cardiology visit. I truly appreciate the effort the practice made to fix Dr. Dominguez’s mistake. I also want to emphasize that this review reflects my specific experience with ELIZABETH DOMINGUEZ, not the entire hospital. The staff and management were responsive and supportive when the issue was brought to their attention. This provider was arrogant, unknowledgeable, negligent, and dangerous in her practice. I hope she learns from this so she does not subject other families to this. I will still be coming to this office, but I will never allow this person to touch my dog again.

First in-person visit service***** First post-visit service** Changed vets due to move. Friendly staff and vet service. Dog had an easy annual wellness exam as expected. Had no complaints until after the visit. Take my personal disappointment as you will. Dog needs new flea/tick meds. They gave me a hand written prescription (that's a new one to me). I submitted an order with an online retailer as I typically do and selected the option for them to contact my vet for approval. That's where things halted. The online retailer requires approval from the vet or the prescription to be physically mailed to them? And apparently Ashburn VH told the retailer they will NOT send them the prescription, but the client (I) could come pick up another piece of paper to mail to them myself. Go figure, I can't find the piece of paper Ashburn VH gave to me anymore. So I'd have to go back to their office to get a new one to mail it in to get the dog's meds? It's a big little thing. I've had different veterinarians over the years for my pets and never had to be involved in getting a prescription approved/sent to order meds before. What's the big deal? Why not just go pick up a new piece of paper and mail it in myself? Ok. But exactly- same question to the vet, why can't they, for their customers. Appreciate their prompt responses to my inquiries, but disappointed in the unexpected challenges of getting my dog's meds refilled, and after spending hundreds at the vet in order to be able to order the hundreds in meds again.

The SVVH atmosphere is filled with care and interest for my pet’s well being. Moreover, the staff is very knowledgeable and respond to emails and texts with useful guidance. Dr Corey is a Commonwealth treasure in ways too innumerable to write. Also Wendy is so good at grooming that I may have her trim my hair too!

A veterinary hospital that sees cats, dogs, exotic pets, reptiles, and small animals. Also does boarding.

My pups love coming to Stream Valley and so do I! The staff is so kind and caring, showing true dedication to their work and clients. My pups enjoy boarding time and even the regular checkups.

Took our dog into Stream Valley Vet at 6:15 pm ) closing at 7 pm) no appt, small emergency. Dr Corey was great. They took her right away and all is well. Front desk, techs and Dr Corey were wonderful!!!

To the Stream Valley Animal Hospital Team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the entire team at Stream Valley Animal Hospital for the exceptional care and compassion you showed to both me and my dog. Traveling overseas with a pet is a complicated and often stressful process. Before finding Stream Valley Animal Hospital, I called nearly ten different veterinary offices trying to find someone who truly understood the requirements for international pet travel. Then I spoke with Riley. From the very beginning, Riley was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and precise in explaining everything that was required for our dog's upcoming travel. She took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and even said such kind things about my dog that immediately put me at ease. While some clinics made me feel like they were simply looking for business, Stream Valley Animal Hospital made me feel that your team genuinely wanted to help and provide the care that was best for my pet. Riley also promptly emailed all of the required documents and even followed up with a text message to confirm our upcoming appointment. That level of professionalism and personal attention is rare and greatly appreciated. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Corey and the rest of your wonderful staff. I have visited many veterinary clinics while living and traveling around the world, but what I witnessed during our visit truly stood out. Rather than immediately placing my dog on an examination table, Dr. Corey spent time getting down on the floor to my dog's level, playing with her, allowing her to become comfortable, and building trust before beginning any examination or procedure. The other staff members did the same, treating my dog with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. It was obvious that everyone cared not only about providing excellent medical care but also about making the experience as stress-free as possible for both my pet and me. That level of compassion cannot be taught it comes from people who truly love what they do. It made a lasting impression on me, and I will never forget it. Please extend my sincere appreciation to Riley, Dr. Corey, and every member of your team. Thank you for the outstanding care, professionalism, and kindness you showed us. You have earned my highest respect and recommendation. Please keep up the fantastic work that you all do. It truly makes a difference in the lives of your patients and their families. With sincere gratitude, A grateful pet owner

Finding a veterinarian practice you completely trust isn't easy, especially when your dog is getting older and every decision feels important. After more than 12 years with another veterinary practice, I was nervous about making a change. I'm so glad I did. Dr. David Iskandar, better known to his clients as Dr. David, at Nova Animal Hospital in Ashburn, VA has been wonderful with Parker. Dr. David is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. He takes the time to answer every question, never makes me feel rushed, and explains what he's thinking in a way that makes sense. I always leave feeling like we have a plan instead of wondering what to do next. The staff has been equally impressive. Everyone I've met has been kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Being open seven days a week has been such a comfort, and every time I've called because I was worried about Parker, they've found a way to get her in that same day. As a dog mom, that means more than I can say. Over the years, I've had enough experience with veterinarians to know the difference between a good one and an exceptional one. Dr. David is exceptional.

Absolutely love Dr. Ishkandar and the entire staff. He saved my FIP persian after several other veterinarians could not properly diagnose her. They also care for my very large family of Persian and Himalayans. Exceptional care at a reasonable price and great hours. My goto place!

Our senior dog had an accident and had to be put down. We had never taken him to Nova Animal Hospital before but they were open on the Sunday it happened. Dr Schlossberg and the entire team were incredibly warm, compassionate and supportive on this very difficult day for our family. One day when we are ready to get a new pet, we will absolutely plan on using Nova Animal Hospital for that pets care.

I am deeply grateful for Nova animal Hospital in Ashburn! We had an emergency with our older dog on Sunday and I was so thankful they were open. The staff were all kind and caring and super knowledgable. They treated numerous issues that my current vet did not even mention. The rates were very reasonable. I would recommend this practice to all of my dog loving friends! Thank you for all you do and for being so passionate about animals! We are forever clients now!💕 Our sweet Jake is on the mend!

My name its Maruca Canavra with my pet Teddy ending up at Nova animal hospital at emergency Sunday Easter!!! The experience i had with the place I can describe!.got an appt right away, all staff included the dr.David Iskandar was fantastic and im so grateful that my pet Teddy was helped, release from his pain and sent home safe. Knowledgeable, calm, and kind Dr.David took his time from all other emergencies consulting,caring , explaining step by step what has to be done for home care ! Thank you. Will be back for regular appt in the future

Dr. Taylor is an amazing vet! He has an excellent bedside manner and is extremely professional. He treated our cat with such compassion. The front desk administrators and the assistant were so patient and kind. Thank you, Dr. Taylor and the team!

We had a great experience at Animal Medical Centers of Loudoun at Brambleton. Dr. Rawls was wonderful and very understanding of all the concerns we had as new pawrents. She patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable during our puppy’s first visit and also gave us a thoughtful goodie bag Our pup really seemed to enjoy his new patient appointment too! We truly appreciated the care and kindness from the whole team.

We’ve found our vet home! The staff is always friendly and they are super quick to respond to messages or texts. We’ve loved all the doctors we have seen so far and prices are definitely good for the area! The docs are not pushy, nor do they guilt trip for not wanting all optional services, which I appreciate so much! My goldendoodle girl loves visiting her friends at AMCL – Brambleton… she’s pretty nervous by nature, but the staff and doctors at AMCL bring her right out of her shell 🩷 definitely recommend!

There are moments in life that break your heart, and saying goodbye to my cat Aslan was one of them. For 12 years, he was with me through different countries and different chapters of my life. He wasn’t just a pet, he was truly part of my family, a part of me. Even now, almost two months later, the pain is still in my heart. During that very difficult day, your team showed so much kindness and compassion. You treated Aslan with respect and gave me the space and support I needed, and I will never forget that. When I received the package with his paw print and the handwritten notes, I was deeply emotional. I read every message one by one, and each one meant so much to me. In such a painful time, what you did was incredibly meaningful. Thank you to every single staff member who took the time to write those notes. I truly appreciate it. I will always remember your kindness. And I hope that one day, I will meet Aslan again in a better place.❤️‍🩹🐈

Convenient location to our home with the kindest vets and techs. I had a problem getting ear medication into my cat’s ear and they had me come back the next day and show me again how to do it. I feel like my kitty is in good hands here.

Dr. Santos and the rest of the staff are wonderful. My Max had his neuter surgery last week. Dr. Santos met with me when I dropped Max off, he called just prior to surgery to give me a status and then called again afterwards. I felt fully informed and comfortable throughout the process. Max went home with everything he needed and is healing quickly. I have heard from others at different practices that their experiences were not nearly as great as mine and I am so appreciative for the great care Max received. I highly recommend Dr. Santos and Ashburn Village Animal Hospital.

Dr. Pantin is a wonderful caring and knowledgeable doctor, with a great and funny attitude , always a pleasure to take Cooper there. The staff is great to interact with. I have been very pleased with the attention that Cooper has gotten and the advice and actions we all have taken with him

It's ALWAYS a pleasure to go to Ahlshburn Animal Hopsital. I have been taking my lovelies there for 25 years now. I wouldn't DREAM of taking them anywhere else. PERIOD!! They ALWAYS have courteous, professional, knowledgeable Vets AND technicians. They genuinely care! X

We cannot thank Dr. Keenen, Nick and the rest of the AVAH staff enough for everything they have done for us, as our dog Lillie struggled through the aging process with various issues including extremely painful arthritis and cancer at the very end. They were kind, caring and compassionate. They answered numerous emails and phone calls and worked with us as we tried out various treatments for her to try to ease her pain. And all along, keeping in mind the situation we were in and the costs associated with everything and we never felt like it was being recommended that we spend a ton of money on unnecessary tests which we have had at other local vets. All and all I could not say enough wonderful things about them. And Lillie would agree as she gave Dr. Keenen one last kiss on the nose before she said goodbye to us.

We are a large family with several pets, and from our very first appointment, Dr. Pantín was absolutely amazing. She genuinely cares about her furry patients and takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each one. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication have always made us feel confident that our pets were receiving the best possible care. This is why I am very sad to see her leaving the practice. At the same time, I completely understand and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors. Unfortunately, while our experiences with Dr. Pantín have been exceptional, I cannot say the same about some of our interactions with the front desk staff and certain assistants. Over the years, I have encountered customer service that felt unprofessional and, at times, disappointing. Even simple requests, such as obtaining a prescription, have occasionally become unnecessarily difficult. I truly hope the practice takes this feedback into consideration and continues to improve the client experience. For a hospital that cares for beloved family members, having team members who are passionate about animals and customer service is incredibly important. Despite these concerns, I have recommended this practice to friends and family because of the outstanding care provided by Dr. Pantín. I sincerely hope the hospital continues to grow and improve, and I wish Dr. Pantín all the success she deserves.

We absolutely love Animal Medical of Loudoun (Ashburn)! From the moment we walk in, the entire staff is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, and you can truly tell they love what they do. Ajax actually loves coming here (which says a lot for a vet visit 🐾). He’s always greeted with such warmth and patience, and that immediately puts us at ease. We never feel rushed, and every question is answered thoroughly and thoughtfully. Dr. Myzie’s attention to Ajax is especially reassuring. The care, detail, and compassion shown at every visit make us feel completely confident that Ajax is in the very best hands. It’s such a relief knowing he’s so well cared for every single time. We’re so grateful to have found a veterinary team we trust wholeheartedly. Highly, highly recommend!

What an amazing veterinary practice. The doctors are amazing and the staff is great. They have always been sensitive to our needs and care for our senior kitties so well. When we finally had to put our 17 year old cat down they sent us the most touching card with messages from the entire staff. This is an amazing place

Worth the trip from Woodbridge to Ashburn. The staff here is friendly and gentle with my rabbit. Explained everything to me thoroughly and answered any questions I had. No wait time and understood that I was coming 15 minutes late. The price is very reasonable and I got discounted due to my insurance.

Our deep concerns and the reason we rated this office one star is due to: uncollaborative treatment and care, in addition to expensive, unneeded tests before basic ones. We took our dog to Animal Medical Centers of Loudoun for help with diarrhea. While they ran a blood panel (which was normal), they bypassed basic, foundational diagnostics like a fecal test. Instead, we were given a frightening provisional diagnosis and immediately directed to an expensive, inconclusive X-ray. When that came back inconclusive, they pushed for further costly testing, with the implication that surgery would be the next step for our older, service dog. When I spoke directly with the vet to try to get more information and discuss a care plan that works for everyone, the interaction felt cold, and was certainly uncollaborative. It felt as though they were arguing to defend their alarming provisional diagnosis while carefully avoiding definitive answers. Distressed by the experience, my family sought a second opinion from another veterinarian. The difference was night and day! The second vet started with basic testing, including a fecal test, and put together a clear, logical plan using antibiotics and over-the-counter fiber. They thoroughly explained why the condition was not immediately life-threatening and what specific signs to look out for. Our service dog / smallest member of our family felt better that evening and was recovered in 2 days. The emotional toll this took on my family was severe! We went from being told our dog might not last the night to finding out the issue was entirely treatable with basic medicine and fiber. We have officially switched veterinary practices and cannot recommend this clinic based on our experience.

You know… i feel so conflicted about rating this place one star. The vet i dealt with was AMAZING and the vet nurses that assist the vet? AMAZING. If awesome vets is what youre looking for, this really is a gem of a place. I called this establishment concerned for my new kitten and her clawing at her ears. They saw me QUICKLY and they were ALL sweet and kind and some of the best vet care i ever could have hoped for. Really. Theyre the best. I am rating them one star because of price transparency and what i feel was deceitful bait and switch practices when it came to billing me for pet care. I brought my kitten in for issues with her ears. The first visit was 400$. During that visit, i asked to set up a spay and microchip. I was given a quote for the entire procedure, which advertised a feline spay package which included the price of EVERYTHING for the spay, preop labs, post op visits etc. i was told the total price would be 1066$. They set up an appointment for a few days later for me to do labs. I was told id pay 350$ at that visit as a deposit. And the remaining balance would be due monday after her spay procedure. So imagine my surprise when i come in and have the labs done and im hit with a nearly 700$ bill after the fact. I was trying to tell the woman at the front desk, that is not what i was told id have to pay. Her response was basically, "well you were told wrong. So the total is $635. How will you be paying". I kept trying to figure out how i could be told one price beforehand and then get a price nearly double that after the fact with no explanation. The woman was trying to rush me out of the office by telling me to just take it up with the office manager (who was not there). I was put on the spot and i was so uncomfortable. I merely was trying to understand how this happened. I was not rude at any point, but i felt she was. Its the worst feeling to be bait and switched like that and then have someone treat YOU like youre the problem for trying to ask questions and understand. Very unprofessional. My experience with the wonderful staff was ruined by this. That is not how you treat people! We are all out here trying to keep our heads above water with everything happening in the world and give our pets a good life and to be treated like this was beyond horrible! I was lied to about pricing and treated like a criminal when i was attempting to ask questions. I just want others to be aware of this before attempting to have pets seen here. Make sure you verify price MANY times with multiple people and get everything in writing if you can.

I have a chronic condition and need an emergency room visit every year or so. I always choose this ER, rather than the big hospital (which is literally 2 minutes from my house so would be much more convenient), because of the care I receive here. It is so much faster, the nurses and doctors are awesome, and the imaging staff is super efficient and kind. The traffic here is always low and it’s a 10/10 compared to the "big" hospital. Even the security staff are compassionate and helpful.

I went to the Inova Ashburn ER last week, and from the moment I walked in, I was treated with care and concern. The doctor on staff was Dr. Visintainer, and she was very calm and reassuring when she told me that I had a mass in my chest, likely benign and congenital. The nurses and other medical staff who administered meds/IV and escorted me to the CT scan were wonderful. The medical professional who conducted the CT scan was excellent. Note to people complaining about time spent in ER: IF YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELY DYING YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT. Be thankful (but of course advocate for yourself if necessary). My one critique:it was difficult at times to hear what the person at the check-in/check out window was saying. A microphone could be helpful. Hope I don’t ever have to come back, but it’s comforting to know that this is not far from our house.

On March 3, 2026, around 3:30 in the morning, I ended up in the emergency room after a trauma. Dr. Kavitha Cherukuri was the physician who treated me that night. She and the team were extremely prompt and efficient. They ran blood work, CT scans, chest scans, and everything necessary to make sure I was okay. Within about two hours I had been fully evaluated and cleared. When you’re dealing with an emergency, that level of speed and organization is exactly what you need. In the past I’ve been to emergency rooms where you can sit for hours because it’s busy and it feels like nobody cares that you’re there. This experience was the complete opposite. The process was fast, professional, and very well handled. Hopefully I never have to go through another emergency, but if I do, I would absolutely return here. Overall, this was the best experience I’ve had in an emergency room setting. It’s not a place anyone wants to be, but if you ever need emergency care, this is the kind of team you want taking care of you.

Nurses were so rude and dismissive, very unprofessional,started talking about me in the hallways loudly that I could hear with my door closed in the room, violation of hippa. Not a single person there but kept me there for 5 hours without checking on me even though bp went low kept calling for a nurse and no one came. They wanted me to stay longer said I could be an "urgent patient" but didn’t check on me once or do any treatment for 5 hours. Never again however the doctor was very kind and apologetic.

Recent bad Experience at Urgent Care. We have been coming to this urgent care for a long time, as my husband has been seriously ill and has required frequent visits. Over the years, this facility has always taken exceptional care of us. we have never experienced any issues, and the staff has consistently been professional, compassionate, and thorough. This place has truly been a reliable support for our family during very difficult times. The nursing staff, as always, were absolutely wonderful, attentive, skilled, and genuinely caring. However, our most recent visit was a different experience due to the physician on duty. He was dismissive and inattentive, neither listening to our concerns properly nor explaining anything clearly. The most shocking moment came when he suggested that my husband take a medication that is contraindicated for kidney disease patients. When we brought it up, his response was deeply disturbing, he implied that since my husband’s kidneys are already at end stage, it shouldn’t matter. We were stunned. Thankfully, the nurse did not administer the medication and in that moment, she demonstrated far more clinical judgment and care than the physician did. I will not mention the name because I do not want to ruin anyone’s career but I feel this needs to be shared. This one experience stands out because it is so unlike the standard of care we have always received here. We sincerely hope this is addressed, because this facility and its wonderful nurses deserve better and so do the patients.
