Fairfax Animal Hospital

I cannot say enough good things about this vet clinic. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to explain everything in such clear detail that I genuinely left with no unanswered questions, which made the whole experience so reassuring.

My cat, Iris, is usually cautious, but she was completely comfortable here and immediately loved the doctor, the technician, and everyone she interacted with. They truly doted on her and treated her like their own — even sending us home with a thoughtful goodie bag, which absolutely made my day.

You can tell this team genuinely cares about both pets and their owners. I’m so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and warmth they showed us. Highly, highly recommend 🐾💗

My Family and I have relied on Fairfax Animal Hospital for all of our three cats' needs for approximately 35 years. Dr. Goldfarb and his Staff are so competent, knowledgeable and so kind towards all the animals entrusted in their care. I highly recommend Fairfax Animal Hospital and Dr. Goldfarb and Staff, they are simply the best!

The only place I go to take my little anxious cat to be treated. They are so kind and take great care of my cat every time.

I had a very nice experience.
Dr Curry and his staff are knowledgeable and well experienced.

When I told people Miles had 35 teeth removed, they were shocked. So was I. I did not consent to that scope of surgery. Miles was 14, diabetic, and still bright. I brought him to Fairfax Animal Hospital for what I understood to be a small, single area procedure that Dr. Catherine Curry and I discussed

The first thing I said at consult was “Miles has diabetes.” It never came up again. Pricing was quoted at $2,800 to $3,000. I explained I had $2,000 on CareCredit. I was told “we can do that.” No clear discussion of staging. I understood this as a focused treatment with maybe a few extractions

The only debrief I ever got from the surgeon was a text: “He did great. We took 35 teeth! He has 6 left.” No surgeon conversation at pickup. A tech handed him over. No diabetes specific plan. No warning about the critical tripwire for a senior diabetic after oral surgery: if he refuses a meal it is an emergency. That rule was never said, written, or confirmed

Discharge said appetite loss for 24 to 48 hours was “not unusual.” They prescribed carprofen, an NSAID that can cause nausea and is labeled “give with food,” with no anti nausea med and no “hold if not eating” instruction. I went home believing recovery would be hard but safe. The dangers Miles was in was not communicated at all to me!

When he refused meals, I thought it was normal recovery. I was never told how the rules changed for a diabetic senior after such a surgery. By Day 11 I called and reported weakness and minimal intake. I was told to email because the doctor was busy. No ER escalation advice. Miles died the next day at home

In hindsight: no candidacy or risk disclosure, no consent to a scope change, no surgeon debrief, no diabetes focused plan, no tripwire warning, and meds without safeguards. Had I been told the truth, that as many as 35 teeth might be removed and that a missed post op meal is an ER level emergency for a 14 year old diabetic, I would not have agreed to surgery

In my opinion, this was not just poor communication, it shows a disregard for obvious diabetic red flags. I feel grossly misled, and Miles paid the price

Very satisfied with their service and very convenient place and excellent staff

Jessie was great with intake & dismissal!! Entire staff is knowledgeable & sincerely care about the well being of my fur child 😇 thank you guys

Great visit with Dr. Curry. Informative and to the point.

very polite staff and good vets!

I had such a great time with my golden Finn! We’re new to the area and we move around a lot so we’ve been to a lot of vets. I’ve found it hard to find ones I like. This team was amazing and we’re happy to be patients here as long as we’re in the area.
