My friend loves Dr Jane and Dr June but the new vet Brown with her the whole place has gone to hell. when is it right to abuse a rescue emotionally. Brown did. Evidently she didn’t like the fact that the owner was allowed in with her rescue. Brown decided to take control and took her dog out of the room and instructed the tech to perform her… services out of the sight of the owner. Bad business harming an emotionally damaged animal because you are a control freak. I hope people start dropping like flies. the Techs are great but when you have a dictator for a boss, clients and their

We’ve been long time patients of Banfield. We came here when we got our newest baby. By far have been blown out of the water! The professionalism sold me! Best vet techs around. Dr. Brown is outstanding!

I love this place! Even during Covid, they take all the precautions and are very organized. I was able to get my sweet Bella in for a walk in appt and she got in so quick. They come to your car, take your baby, then the doctor calls you and reviews everything with you. They bring her back to you and are always wearing their mask!! So thankful they take such good care of my babies

Outstanding visit! My cat saw Dr. Jane and received excellent, loving care.. My cat was treated for kidney failure. I saved about $700 by coming to Beltway. My last vet put my cats thru unnecessary procedures (my opinion), with more scheduled, and charged huge fees. Dr Jane at Beltway is the real deal.
