This is the absolute best place for bunnies. I would not trust any other veterinarian with my bunnies. They are kind and caring. They take time to listen to clients and are very easy with my bunnies. The entire staff is knowledgeable. I drive 90+ miles to take my bunnies here as I do not trust ANYONE else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This afternoon, we got a phone call from a vet on duty the day an incident occurred and were told why we were charged a late fee, but never told about it prior to it being charged. We were very late, but I asked if we would be seen or maybe had to wait or thought we might need to reschedule, but were taken in less than 10 minutes. The vet apologized and I felt better about the situation. I was also told that there is a notice regarding late fees placed at the front desk, which I totally missed. I will never forget that late fees are charged if you are more than 10 minutes late. The incident was our fault, but I still think we should've been told about the fee prior to having it tacked on to our bill; the vet agreed. We never meant to inconvenience anyone and we have not allowed the matter to sour our opinion of this fine establishment. We appreciate this service and everything they have done to help us and our bird, who is so happy once she returns from her bi-weekly appointments!
From the moment you want into Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services you know you are in good hands. I was greeted by two very friendly receptionists, Danya and Brittany, and the clinic was beautifully decorated and arranged. They welcomed me and asked me to sit down in the waiting room. To pass the time (I was thirty minutes early to the appointment since you never know what NoVA traffic will bring you), I had a nice warm cup of coffee from "Stahlbucks" and watched a little of animal planet. Soon Nadja, a veterinary technician, brought me into an examination room and started asking a little bit about the little patient I brought in. She was extremely kind and seemed to really be "in it for the animals." Her demeanor was impeccable. After acquiring a brief history of my nephew's hamster, she left stating that Dr. Costanzo would be in shortly. I initially was given a lot of flak from my co-workers about bringing a hamster to the doctor but this hamster is special. You see, my nephew has Asperger syndrome (form of autism). He never use to connect well with others until this hamster came into his life, about 1 year ago. He is the primary caregiver and it gives him responsibility and a sense of pride. He has learned to focus his anxieties and for the first time, in a long time, this little ball of fur is completely responsible for his laughter. Of course I didn't tell the doctor this, I thought it'd be too much pressure, but my nephew was there for the appointment.... Dr. Costanzo came in and shook both of our hands. He had a warm smile and talked directly to me and my nephew about the patient. He gently performed a very thorough physical examination and even let us both listen to our hammie's little heart beat! He diagnosed a respiratory infection and talked to my nephew (he's 8 years old) directly in terms he could understand. He then answered any and all questions we had and gave us some tips on how to care for him while he was sick. Dr. Costanzo is better than most human physicians I have been to. His compassion and knowledge of this little few gram animal was impressive. Not to mention, his way with children and being able to put things that are difficult to understand in an 8 year old's dialect. ***Ladies.... I did not see a ring and he is easy on the eyes!*** Our appointment went for over 30 minutes and we never felt rushed. We left with some medications and I am happy to report the little fur ball is improving! In fact, he is back to his old self. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone with an exotic animal. The building, the staff (specifically Dr. Costanzo and Nadja), and the follow-up is exemplary. Keep up the great work!
I loved the Vet that I spoke to, a cheerful, friendly, energetic man (whose name I can't remember) and they helped me determine the best course of treatment and were very helpful with recommendations every time I called. Vet prices in this area still cost a friggin arm and leg, BUT this place has my vote for best place to bring your exotics!!!!
My Indian Ringneck Parrot had a life threatening problem with egg binding in 2010 and my local avian vet Dr. Kitterman referred me to SEAVS. The brilliant doctors here operated on her and cured her. I will never forget them for saving her.
