I wouldnt trust my two pups (Daisy & Bentley) with anyone else but Dr Bell. She is an exceptional and caring vet. The staff is also so nice and caring. Dr. Bells love for her profession certainly shines bright. Thank you all at Centervilke Vet.

When your friend (pet) is unwell you have no training or insight to establish what is the basis of the problem; you must rely on the professionals. To be able to take your best friend to Centreville Vet Hosp and to have the wonderful and empathic Dr. Bell to interpret all the signs of discomfort is an immense relief. The care and concern provided at this facility brings great comfort and allows one to know that you have provided the very best attention available.

Worst vet ever. We took our adopted cat who is perfectly healthy for a routine check up and they consistently tried to 1) up sell us on crazy expensive food with probiotics 2) charge for all sorts of duplicative blood work and 3) insist on an unnecessary dental cleaning. We went along with the dental cleaning (never needed that ever before for any cat) then when poor kitty went to the dental cleaning they neglected him and he bumped his head, cracked a fang, and then needed an extraction. Although that was 100% their liability they wouldnt let me take the cat home until I paid for their mistake

Great veterinary office. Dr. Bell is simply the best. She really cares about our cats. She made them comfortable during the visit and answered all our questions in a way we understood. The vet techs and staff are wonderful as well. They saw us right on schedule! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality vet. A+

I recently made the switch to Centerville Veterinary Hospital and I am so happy I did. Dr. Bell and the entire staff are kind, courteous, professional and very thorough. They've called to check up on my pets after each visit and more than once.
