These guys were awesome. I just moved from Northern VA and needed a new vet. I found the best one here. They’re extremely thorough, provided some alternatives I’d never been told before, and they did some awesome things to help that I’ve never been offered. The bill was also half of what I’m used to paying up north. I have a happy pup so thank you!

Took my girl in to have her upset stomach evaluated. Everyone we encountered provided excellent service. Our great experience began with the front office staff who were really friendly and helpful (over the phone and in person), then was followed by the tech and the vet who made my girl feel comfortable from the moment they greeted us outside their facility.

I had just moved here from Ohio and was looking for a trustworthy vet to take my three chihuahuas to. Let me just say, I was incredibly impressed with St. Francis and can confidently say that I’ve found a good vet for my three girls. The whole staff was kind, super professional, and very honest. They tell you straight to the point what you need, and what you don’t need. They were super helpful in every area too! I can tell that they all genuinely care about the profession they are in. Thank you, St. Francis Animal Hospital staff for being so great! Five stars!

My favorite vet of all time ~ Dr. Metzger gets to see all my foster and personal fur-babies who have medical issues. Shes extremely responsive and it doesnt take days to get an answer back, she never gives up, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a genuine love for animals that comes across in her voice.

They really explained everything good to me. I immediately started seeing Kirby improving the very first day

They take such excellent care of my Irish setter! Service is very timely and efficient, everyone is very kind and helpful. No one makes you feel rushed, they address everything!

Took our pup in for routine check up and rabies shot. They were awesome answered all of our questions and concerns. We are definitely going to continue using them for all our pet needs.

I cannot recommend this hospital enough! Dr. González is amazing in every way. Her attention to detail, care, empathy, and obvious love for her profession make her a TOP 1% Vet!!! The staff and ancillary team also deserve high praise as they together run a tight ship with love and care!!!

I absolutely love being able to leave such a great Review! During such a difficult time for all of us this staff is still very genuine, friendly and professional. I brought Chance in today for a hurt leg; although I couldn’t be with him physically I knew he was okay when Nicole came outside and treated him as though he were her own. His Doctor, Jeremee Lewis, was so polite and explained everything thoroughly. He talked with me about a plan for Chance without pushing $URGERY like many places do. I absolutely am excited to continue Chancellors health life with them!Did I mention I called last minute and they were able to get me in the very next day!? So great!

Been taking our pups here their whole lives, friendly staff, easily get appointments, knowledgeable, and they care about your pet. Its a sad story but when we had to say goodbye to our family member of 15 years, even after he was gone, we saw a staff member in the back giving him kisses and trying to comfort him even after he was gone, being so gentle with him even though they thought no one could see them, they care about your family pets, they really do. Great location as well.

This is one of the best animal hospitals in the area. This is one of few vets that Ive been to where I feel like Im being listened to and that my thoughts/concerns are valuable and noted. Ive been to a couple vets in the past and some of them lack basic customer service/hospitality manners, or they seem to be inattentive or are rushing to get you out of there.The front desk people are the nicest of all, and have always made me and my wiener dog feel welcome. Whenever the assistants need to take my dog, I feel good trusting them. Last time, my dog was unable to get a certain test carried out because she was making it difficult for some reason - and they had the courtesy to let me know that they ended up not doing it so I appreciated that and the fact that they werent going to put my dog through more unnecessary stress!The most important thing is they are honest about their procedures and tests when needing to be carried out and wont force you or guilt you into paying for anything unnecessary. It is good to feel like youre in control of your pets health. Dr. Metzger, who has recently worked with my baby girl after diagnosing her with an underactive thyroid, is very communicative and polite.I really appreciate this animal hospital. If youre considering vets in the area, I would 100% recommend this one. They are one of the only two AAHA certified (meeting high standards) in the area and Ive never had any bad or sour experience with them. They get an A+ in my book. :)

Absolutely WONDERFUL! Our dog exhibited blood in her urine (suspected UTI) and even though I had never been here before and they were booked for the day, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to work my dog in to their busy schedule. Our regular vet (Leavells) was also booked but could not be bothered to see our dog and did not make ANY effort to work her in. Because St. Francis did treat her, not only have they made a new client and excellent reviews via Facebook and word of mouth, they also have shown me that they truly put their animals and client first, providing top quality care.

We have been using a particular vet clinic for 11 years now, but when our favorite vet, Dr. Metzger, moved to Saint Francis, we decided to follow her there. She is amazing and now we have a new place to take our boy. We were so happy to see such a well run clinic, friendly techs, and thorough follow up. Our previous clinic never checked up on our dog the day after a wellness visit. St Francis did just that! I was very surprised and pleased. We have already referred our daughter there. As a side note, the vaccination prices were slightly higher that our previous clinic. However, with the curbside service, the efficiency was unmatched. Looking forward to many more years of great service!

St Francis Animal Hospital staff has a un measurable amount of sympathy and remorse during a stressful & life altering moment. My neighbor had called me this morning in a frantic due to her sweet dog jemma not doing well. I proceeded to go check on her and immediately, I soon knew we needed to get her some where and quick. With my backing in veterinary medicine I understand how difficult it can be in primary medicine to fit in an emergency, especially if its not a known patient. We found our selfs calling almost all the primary clinics in the area. Either they were in surgery or double booked , which is totally understandable. The unfortunate part of this morning was that the local veterinary emergency clinic did not open until 3pm. We could of drove to Manassas or richmond but my thought was Jemma wouldnt have made it. I briefly worked at St. Francis and enjoyed the staff and the work family they created. It was unfortunate, but I left veterinary medicine all together. Today I found myself humbled and grateful. It made me think of how difficult & challenging but rewarding the field is. St Francis has a awesome team! On behalf of my neighbor and my self thank you! Thank you to Hailey ,colleen & Dr .Lewis. Thank you for seeing sweet jemma♡🐕

Dr. Madelyn González and her amazing team have taken excellent care of our dogs. I drove from Baltimore and will do it again! There are plenty of Vets out there, the difference in the office is the level of care and love!

Great service, and you can tell that they really care about the animals as if they were their own! Thank you everyone for working around my schedule and taking care of Kilo!

Angels. They are so loving to my dog Una which is my baby. She was bit by a copperhead over the summer and they took such good care of her, she made a full recovery with some scaring 🙏🏼❤️ Grateful for this vet.

I have a 14 1/2 year old Doxie that has never known a Vet except for St. Francis. The care there is way over the top, and the staff is most accomplished and very caring. Due to the completeness of care, the bills can get a bit expensive, but it is worth the price.

I want to thank all the great people at St Francis Animal Hospital. Everyone was so friendly and they were so gentle with my kitten. The Vet tech and the Veterinarian were wonderful. They took the time to make sure I understood what they were doing and the plan they had of keeping her healthy. I found my cats a home for all their health needs. Thank you so much.

Theyre trustworthy and professional

Not the service it use to have! Went for an appointment a week ago,was told the doctor would call me back ,with blood work and exam findings ! Well it has been a week and ,the doctor has not called me back yet ! With the exam report! Had to call my self for blood work 3 times! Not directly spoke to the doctor! Then spoke to the office manager. She said she would take care of this ! Well as I said it has been a week! There are many good vet in this area! The worse part I left working for them a month ago to retire! After working there 19 years ! Not the first time I have been pushed aside as a client there!

Excellent, responsive, loving care of my dog. Spencer means the world to us and we wouldnt entrust his care to anyone else.

Ive been very impressed so far. I wasnt happy with my prior vet and they came highly recommended. The two vets Ive met there have been very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They have taken the time to answer all my questions and offer better alternatives to my dogs and cats needs that my prior vet did not. They even have a full coffee bar and water available to their human guests! Im very pleased overall.

Ive always found them to be professional and kind. They take their time out of their busy schedules to check every pet carefully, and theyve treated my dog like he was their own.

St. Francis Animal Hospital is the best! I have taken 3 of my pets here for many years and I highly recommend them. The staff is very friendly and caring and the doctors are wonderful.

I have taken my pets to St. Francis for years and will continue . GreatDoctors and employees. Dr. Jody took care of my pet yesterday and shewas great.

Our fur family is incredibly happy with the care received at St.francis Animal Hospital. The staff is very friendly, caring and professional. Dr. Coleman and her team of vet techs are amazing! Their facility is large, clean and welcoming. They have had a lot of great changes over the last year and are doing great things for our pets and also our community! I highly suggest St. Francis Animal Hospital!

My dog developed an eye problem. I promptly took him to St. Francis Animal Hospital. Everyone, from the reception desk, veterinarian assistant to the doctor, was responsive, caring and put me and my baby at ease. He was quickly diagnosed and treated, and he is now recovering nicely.St. Francis is a top notch, caring veterinary service, and I highly recommend them for your pet healthcare.

After having many different vets in the Northern Virginia area in the past 16 years, this is by far, the BEST all around animal hospital I have ever been to.We are, personally, treated with respect, friendly attitudes and concern for our own feelings. And thats just us!Our pets, are loved and cared for and treated so outstandingly, you would think they belong to the people that work there!!The compassion and thoughtfulness is without measure.I can honestly say that I will never choose an alternative Veterinary practice to care for our four-legged children.St. Francis Animal Hospital in Stafford is just, in a word, WONDERFUL.We have been there for the excitement of a new puppy and also the death of our oldest dog, and everything in between.Their pricing is very competitive and they always strive to offer incentives with specials and coupons.I can safely say that we and our dogs have never been treated better.A special Thank you to Dr. Davis and Katie, who helped us through the loss of our 14 year old chihuahua, and to all the other Doctors and members of Staff that continue to provide such wonderful and loving care to our dogs.We couldnt speak more highly of them.

Extremely professional process . Very knowledgeable and courteous staff. Vet was extremely patient and provided detailed explanations. I left with a complete understanding of my dogs situation and what I was supposed to do and why.

Brought my nearly 20 year old kitty Anna here for a check up. She was very stressed out as she doesnt handle things like this well. The care and understanding Dr Gonzalez and the staff showed to my baby was wonderful. I definitely will be using their services for my other cats too.

I took my two kittens here for a checkup and their first round of shots, amazing experience. All the nurses were very sweet and loved cuddling my babies, the vet herself was knowledgable and thorough. No one had any problems showing me how to trim my boys’ nails and they gave me detailed estimates before any procedures, medicines or shots were dispensed. Very reasonably priced, especially when you take into account the high quality service you’re getting. The facility itself was clean and well maintained with a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll be continuing to come to this vet for as long as I live nearby, I can’t say enough good things.

The entire staff here are some of the most caring folks Ive ever met. They can always squeeze me in when there is a problem with one of my animals; they love all over my babies when I bring them in and treat them as if they were their own. The care they receive is second to none and they are always willing to answer any question I may have. I would not go anywhere else!

I have been so very pleased with recent surgical procedures on my animals at St. Francis Animal Hospital to include dentals and today, an emergency spay. Dr. Emily Coleman and the entire staff have been professional, caring and extremely skilled and all patients recovered beautifully! So happy to have them in my corner!

Dr Stiefel was amazing! I had an emergency appt for my cat and she was top notch at explaining everything to make sure I completely understood. I will definitely be using her for all my pets (and we have many in the future)...

I highly recommend Dr. Coleman. I have been taking 2 of my dogs to Dr. Coleman for about 3 years. She has seen my personal dogs as well as shelter animals that I have worked for. She shows compassion as well as empathy when it comes to all animals. One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer at St. Francis and Dr. Coleman went out of her way to talk to me about my dogs options. Whenever I go to St. Francis it never breaks the bank and the prices are fair. All of the staff is always well mannered and show compassion everytime I have an appointment. I also love the fact that St. Francis works well with rescues and shelters in the area to make sure every animal has a fair chance. They are dedicated to helping all animals and it shows. ❤

I would highly recommend St. Francis Animal Hospital and Dr. Coleman. Dr. Coleman and the staff are so compassionate and caring about my pets. I never feel rushed in an appointment and always get my pets concerns taken care of. Dr. Coleman is wonderful when trying to diagnose something in that she does it in steps, not trying to have me spend a whole bunch of money on a bunch of tests all at once, some of which I really might have not needed. Its so obvious that Dr. Coleman and the staff care deeply about their patients. If you want loving compassionate care for your furbabies, St. Francis is where you need to go!

My Great Dane, Nala, was having some complications from a recent surgery she had.(Not at St. Francis) I called St. Francis Animal Hospital (our normal vet) and they provided excellent care from getting us in immediately, to the curbside service, (protocol for the COVID19) to providing me with everything I need to ensure Nala makes a full recovery. The staff, from the receptionists, medical assistants to the doctor were all hands on and quick to get Nala in and out. I Thank each of you for the job you do to ensure our fur babies are taken care of and stay safe.

Great staff, my dog was able to be seen the same day I called for an appointment. Well equipped hospital for your pet.

This place is top notch! I am a full time rver with a diabetic dog. I needed some testing done after my dog had become Ill. They took care of my needs without hesitation ( others in town turned me down). They were kind, professional, caring and did a great job. I definitely recommend them!

I had to get my cat into the vet quickly while exterminators were dealing with my Apartment. Fluffy Butt was in great hands with these folks.

Ive been taking my Havanese dog to St. Francis for 13+ years. She has always received outstanding care from whichever vet she was being seen by. Excellent front desk staff, outstanding doctors!

My 8 yr old male cat started acting funny in the morning, I took him in to St. Francis Animal Hospital and after several attempts to pass a urinary catheter for a urinary blockage, the doctor immediately took him in for emergency surgery to remove the blockage. My pets are like my children! I can not thank the Doctors & Staff at St. Francis Animal Hospital enough for saving my boy! He is a beautiful 8 yr old Russian Blue and he is my son’s best buddy. We love him so much.Thank You, Thank You, Thank YouBest Doctors & Staff in the area!♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾

Fabulous Animal Hospital! I was very pleased with Dr. Stiefel and all of the staff. I highly recommend them.

Everyone in the practice are very sweet and professional I had my 2 4 week old chihuahuas having their 1st check up it went great

Clean and wide area. Easy to keep even big dogs away from each other. No rugs. No traction for dogs to get a grip to run at each other. Keep them leashed and under control and you wont have any problem.

A year waited... and still cannot make it right. We were very happy with St. Francis when Dr. McAuliff was there; nothing to complaint with his services; knowledgeable, passionate about animals, kind and not looking to get every $$$ out of your wallet into his.However, since Dr. McAuliff left, this practice should not be able to use Saint Francis as their name as the practice does not share his principles at all.We have multiple pets.. cats and dogs; and the bad experience was not a single one.. but many one after another.One of our cats has had asthma since a kitty; and the very reason why weve left a different practice to arrive to Saint Francis was because some practices want to force you to get a lot of lab work when it is not needed with the claim that they need to make sure of X in order to refill medications. This never happened before with Dr. McAuliff, yet on a couple of occasions they force lab work when it was not needed in order to refill out cats meds. We did it for one year, but the next year when we challenge the reasoning and did not agree with the lab work, they refused to send the order for refill. Strike number 1.This is the only practice that weve been, that they need to take two of our cats behind in order to administer a shot; on both occasions both cats were meowing in a very excited and uncomfortable way. Again, this never happened with Dr. McAuliff. Why the need to take the cats away from the examination room? Would never understand this for a common shot. Strike 2.Thats when we decided to take our pets to a different practice. On the new practice, they asked for the records of all our pets only to have received incomplete records of them. One of the records dates only to 2013; when they just did a full examination for international travel in 2018 with shots. Strike 3.You will be happy with the new St. Francis as long as you are opening your wallet and dont ask questions about not needed procedures.

Dr. Metzger is absolutely amazing. She is the most skilled, compassionate, and genuine vet I have ever met.

Dr. Coleman has been wonderful to my fur baby, Cypher from the 1st time I brought her there...up until she made the trip to Rainbow Bridge last week. Dr. Coleman and the St. Francis staff made a very difficult situation as stress free as possible and showed complete compassion for Cypher, myself and her Daddy, Sonny. We will be forever grateful. To those who complain about the costs of caring for you pets...I surely hope you dont try to go the cheapest route possible for your human family members. Maybe you should stay away from having 4 legged children.

The best Boarding kennelfor dogs & other animals in Fredericksburg. I am willing to drive from Richmond to St. Francis for my dog to board with St. Francis Animal Hospital. Karen.

Have used St Francis previously, it has been in business for some time. Always a positive experience, facilitated by caring staff.always clean. Always efficient. Always caring.

This clinic strives for perfection when it comes to your pets health & well being. Our vet of choice in the Fredericksburg area. Super clean modern facility . With the latest in diagnostic equipment.

I have been taking my shepherds since since they were 2 months old...they are now 9 years old. I had debated leaving many times due to former leadership. I am SO glad I didnt as now that those faces have moved on there is a breath of fresh air. Took them both yesterday and have ZERO complaints. There are so many new little additions that are really adding a lot to the entire program. I would HIGHLY recommend St. Francis for your pets care!!

We have always received the greatest of care for our dog!

Great service! Really kind staff, and a great vet. Definitely recommend!

I have never personally been to this place, but after speaking on the phone with their staff, I do not plan on ever taking my animals here. The staff was extremely rude when asking me questions and made me feel uncomfortable calling when I was unable to hear one of their answers. I would expect more from a place that cares for our furry loved ones.

SO nice, good price, so helpful. This place came highly recommended and I see why. I came her for a second opinion, I’m glad I did. My dog is dying and another place I went to told me a transfusion is the only way to save her she could need several and it starts at $5,000 for one!! Here I was given a different option and a much lower cost for a transfusion. Because of that, I don’t have to put her down. They’re helping my dog a lot and not hurting my wallet too bad.

St Francis Animal Hospital is the BEST. I have two large dogs, one of which is still a puppy. My puppy has, on more than one occasion, caused me to call St. Francis in a panic. They have always made time for me. Dr. McAuliff and his staff of well-trained and customer-service savvy veterinarians are top-notch--working tirelessly when emergencies happen. The front desk staff are always efficient and courteous. They always keep me up-to-date on what shots my dogs need so that I dont have to count days, weeks, or months until required immunizations are given. I would never, after my experiences at St. Francis, trust my dogs with another vet. I wish I could give them ten stars!

St. Francis Animal Hospital has taken care of four of our dogs and having lived in many different locations, I have not had a better vet than St. Francis. They have been great about diagnosing problems and get right to the point. They are not in it for money, they honestly care about my dogs and even know their names when they walk in the door. From the Vet to the staff, everyone is friendly and they treated my dogs with the care and love that I gave them. When it was that time for the final days for my pets - I think they felt as much grief as I did. The compassion and love they have shown to my St. Bernards has kept me going back to them and they will always be my vet. Thanks St. Francis!!!

They have always been very caring to my pets. They give the best possible care and are very knowledgeable. All of the staff are friendly.

Best service! Love the staff.

A few months ago, my cat Otis began losing weight in spite of eating everything in sight. His coat became matted and it was obvious something was wrong. I took Otis to St. Francis and, after some tests, they discovered he had a thyroid problem. He was given medication to take daily but the medication had no effect. He was steadily losing weight. Dr. McAuliff talked to me about thyroid surgery. I was very concerned especially with Otis being at least 10 years old. Dr. McAuliff explained that he used laser in performing the surgery so there would be minimal trauma, if any at all. The day of surgery went well. I brought Otis home the next day. Thinking he would need his rest, I fixed a place for him to rest and recuperate. I put up a small gate to keep my new puppy away from Otis. As soon as I turned my back, Otis jumped the gate! You would not know he had had surgery the day before. Two weeks later, Otis and returned to St. Francis for a follow-up appointment. His coat was already looking better and he had gained weight! Almost two pounds in two weeks! Otis continues to improve each day. I am very thankful for the doctors and the staff at St. Francis. As far as I am concerned, they saved Otiss life!

A wonderful, caring staff who always takes good care of my dogs!

Great staff! A wonderful place to take your furry little friends.

They always took good care of my dog. When I had to put her down they were very understanding. THANK YOU.

My kitty needed immediate Care since our vacation was a day away. After recently moving I did not have a family vet in Fredericksburg. St Francis was able to give me an appt immediately. I was very pleased with the services provided and will definitely be using them in the future. Returning home after mandatory evacuation from OBX my kitty is completely healthy and was happy to see me. Thank you St. Francis.

Seemed like a very nice place

Very friendly, clean and inviting environment.

Dr. Stephen McAuliff, DVM was very kind, compassionate, and patient. He truly cared about the comfort of our family as a whole. Thank you!

Great people! Very friendly

Disgusted. Dehumanized by my experience with Dr. Coleman, who refused to fire up the oxygen tank for my 14 year old dog with CHF, which we had come to St. F’s to use to keep her comfortable as we waited for family to arrive. Dr. Childs was our primary and as a veterinarian? she understood the integrated care that we are provided by our ur specialist vets (the specialist costs $600 a visit, consultations available around the clock complimentarily the patients and primary vets- I took my dog to this specialist double the recommended # of times per year as her specialist said she was one of the longest living dogs with heart failure he had ever seen and we were DEDICATED to giving her the best life TILL THE VERY LAST MOMENT. When I finally DEMANDED to see my dying dog when I took her just for the Oxygen tank that I had anticipated needing to use this sad day for three years now, I got to the back to see that her last moments away from her mommy, who had held her 7 pound body for 14 years and cradled her more and more gently and more and more like a baby as she aged, was gasping for breath with nothing more than a plastic tube crudely held up to her face with NO MASK attached unbeknownst me AND THEREFORE ZERO OXYGEN SATURATION- SO JUST $HUNGRY, LAZY, & Ready TO GET HOME. She hadn’t been taken away from me for more than a few moments to go to the back in the vet or anywhere for as long as I could remember. She was spoiled rotten. Dr. Coleman hadn’t been there for years, but I was so careful with her at that point I wouldn’t let my vet of choice dr Childs WHO SADLY WAS NOT IN THE OFFICE this afternoon, even bring her to the back without wrapping her in one of her blankets. We struggled with Medicines causing appetite loss for years & she became what dr Childs called “a delicate flower” with age but she was the most spoiled and happy girl in the world and what kept her happy was her bond with her mommy and family & it was ROBBED from This innocent creature who kept up on family hikes miles and miles regularly till the day of. She didn’t get her fair shot at life or death due to Coleman’s lack of compassion or critical thinking skills. She wouldn’t stay thirty minutes just to give my innocent and pure angel of a dog that comfort that she was ACCUSTOMED TO In HER LIFE IN DEATH, making her a monster.My 7 pound dog needed to be protected and cherished by her vet (Dr Childs did great- she’d talk to me on the phone during a work day for 10min just to make sure we had every last detail of her lifestyle medicine food EVERYTHING TO A T. Dr Coleman RIPPED ALL OF THAT HARD WORK AND CARE THAT DR CHILDS AND I AND HER SPECIALISTS PUT IN TO SHREDS IN THE HOUR THAT SHE SPENT WITH MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL! She should lose her liscense as I guarantee you 100% that if we checked the record of when we got there, and tried out that tank, if she had at least fired it up preemptively as she CRUDELY HELD THE PLASTIC TUBE CONNECTED TO THE OXYGEN TO MY DOGS FACE- my dog could have had much more comfort while she she called the specialist, which she sadly DID NOT have the common sense to do before PUMPING my dog full of the WRONG form of lasix (needed the drip 📲 specialist??!☠️😭👎🤮)then after all of these mistakes she had no problem with rushing me to put my dog to sleep bc it was closing time. She never had sadness in her eyes. My dog was one hundred percent pure and innocent inside and out. & truly a living stuffed animal who got cuter and who we fell more and more in love each day. Just look at my picture for yourself. SHE CHOSE NOT TO FIRE UP THE OXYGEN TANK WHICH SHE LIED AND SAID “IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG.” As my angel suffered, gasped for breath. I took her to the Emerg vet who was lovely and sent a card after- NOTHING from SFs AFTER 8 years another dog put down there the year prior 4 pets seen there (0 after this)but the specialist even made a donation in her name to VT. At the emergency vet after I saw the oxygen tank does fire up QUICKLY. I know because we opened it up to get her in and out. Dr. Childs actually left the practice right after this.

I highly recommend St Francis Animal Hospital. We drive from northern Stafford to take our 3 dogs there. We consider our dogs, like most people do, to be family members - Most especially our GSD, Vito. Vito and the others were seeing Dr McAuliff for years, he retired. Now our Vet is Dr Childs. She is TERRIFIC! The entire staff there is absolutely great! The front staff is friendly, helpful & professional. The techs in the back are all fantastic and so gentle with Vito and our other dogs. If you are looking for a vet with expertise who is truly interested in the health and well being of your pet and listens to your concerns, Dr Childs is that Vet. The rest of the staff, front and back will make it incredibly easy for you to get the necessary access to the vet and medication refills and timely appointments. Thanks.

They were excellent with my dog

If you want your pet DEAD...this is your place! After being treated for years of so called Wellness Exams...my 8yr old German Shepherd was given a clean bill of health. He is now DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!These self proclaimed DOCTORS must have graduated from some online course. My GSD had 2 wellness exams within a month....hes healthy as a horse they proclaimed after the usual you need pet insurance...or he needs a dental plan sales pitch. I have never seen the same vet twice (they no doubt quit after learning that greed over care is the standard operating procedure here...STAY AWAY...AND DONT WALK, RUN FROM THESE GREEDY, NON-CARING SALESMEN/SALESWOMEN. I plan on hiring a Animal Rights Lawyer, and hopefully no one else will need to suffer the loss that my family is now going through.

Had some less than pleasant curcumstances arrise with a few of my fur babies over the past few months and they were so compassionate, affordable and took care of us promptly!

Be prepared to have them run the gamut of tests that may or may not be necessary. They wanted to keep our cat overnight, run xrays, blood work, etc etc etc because her stomach was upset. Over $1000. You can be sure theyll find whats wrong and take care of your animal, but you will certainly pay for it.

Without the expert knowledge and professionalism of Dr. McAuliff and his staff, our 14 year old lab mix would not be sitting by our side today. One night our Harley abruptly fell and then just went to his bed to lay the rest of the evening. I had figured his hips had given out due to many vets just telling me he had arthritis and was old, so I let him sleep. When I awoke the next morning he couldnt raise his head or use his back legs. He looked in severe pain and his breathing was labored. In a panic I called St. Francis to get him in as soon as possible. We were not even patients of St. Francis and instead of just saying he is old or it is his time to go, Dr. McAuliff saw Harley first thing in the morning and thorough testing found a large mass on Harleys spleen. After comforting our dogs pain, we were explained our options and elected to try surgery to give Harley a fighting chance. The surgery was a success and Harley even walked out to greet us! We couldnt be more pleased with the services at St. Francis. Dr. McAuliff and staff were very straight forward with our options and took extremely good care of our fur-baby. We definitely have become regular patients.

Dollar sign eyeballs, not warm heart shaped irises that fill with joy at the sight of your pet. Mr. Burns Im going somewhere else.

Incredible care, professional staff and management is top notch

The staff is great and very reasonably priced.

I am writing this review for Michelle Lee and Precious Lee, with all their love and appreciation: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Stephen McAuliff from St. Francis. If you’re looking for a vet, don’t look anymore. Previously, I dealt with a nonprofit organization and they did the surgery on my dog incorrectly. I thought I was saving money by going to the nonprofit, but it ended up costing me double because I needed to have the surgery redone. I went to St. Francis and Dr. McAuliff did an x-ray and discovered that the earlier surgery had been done wrong, so he had to redo the surgery. The non-profit couldn’t refund the money. I returned to the non-profit to have some bloodwork done on my dog and they said there was nothing wrong, but I knew something wasn’t right. So I went back to St. Francis and the bloodwork showed that the dog does has cushings disease. So for the second-time they saved my dog pain, and saved her life. If you’re looking for a vet that is trustworthy and loves your animals the same way that you do, feel assured that even if it costs you a couple more dollars it’s well worth the satisfaction of knowing that your animal will be well taken care of from the ladies at the reception desk to Dr. McAuliff. I knew that when I handed them my dog that she would be loved and well taken care of.

A little costly, but amazing service. Best vets in the area for the price.

First ,. Ill say its an amazing group of professionals!! kind, caring, attentive, quick in crisis and I was totally panic stricken and they were always sympathetic even when I was calling a lot during my dogs pregnancy. the evening I thought would go according to many internet website reviews- and how to deliver puppies- my first time. It was a loooong nite! I was at emergency ER at 3am then one puppy arrived naturally so I was sent home to deliver the second pup. Everything went wrong! the dog would not nurse and I could see she had slowed down her contractions substantially- I was even more nervious. I called back the ER room and they were closing.. Now Im afraid I lost #2. I rush over to St. Francis again and this time it was comfirmed that she could not deliver the second puppy and her placenta had started to deteriorate! Now Im afraid this can be life threatening!! Dr. Mcauliff acted quickly to perform a C-section. I was so emotionally I was crying and I was afraid that my best friend could be gone. I did not know what to expect waiting for them to call me. I was overhelmed when Doctor Mcauliff called and told me I now have 3 healthy little pups and that acting quickly saved my the puppies! WOW what an experience and fortunate was I to have Dr. McAuliff as myn vet! so wonderful how everyone there was so kind and helpful to answer my multiple questions. this could have been a lot more expensive at the ER. instead it was less than half. Worth every cent! so dont be cheap with your dogs health or dont have one. Ill always go there. Thanks to the whole staff and a special thanks to Dr. McAuliff.

Very caring, friendly, efficient and good doctors and staff.

Worst vet experience I have ever had. I wouldnt send my worst enemies to Dr. McAuliff. He is very short, pompous and rude..and for Gods sake, he is over priced! You have been warned!! STAY AWAY!

Very professional staff highly recomended

This animal hospital is really good with animals, the staff is very friendly, the only problem l have is they are just a little pricy but l am on a fixed income.
