The veterinarian was super nice and loved my ball pythons. The lobby is also really cool looking they have several fish tanks. They seem to really care a lot about the animals and live their work.
Edit: This is one of the closest places near Frederick that accepts treatment on snakes. Also this veterinary office tries to make sure your animal is living in the right environment and gets the correct and needed nutrients or equipment. I might switch all my animals here even though it’s a long drive.

Love this vet and her staff! She incorporates conventional medicine with holistic, this is very important to me.
My CKD cat’s blood work fluctuates.
She says “ Let’s get these numbers down” as opposed to writing him off as just another cat declining with kidney disease.
Staff are very sweet and “cat whisperers” as well as Dr. H.
I am confident my baby is in good hands

This is a great place to bring your pets. They will be cared for- with the best kindness, competence and fairness. Dr. Victoria Hollifield has experience with exotic pets as well. I brought my pet mouse Bianca, that had a large scab in the perineum. They agreed to see us on a Saturday even though they had a very busy schedule! Bianca was supposed to have surgery to remove the mass, but the day of surgery Dr. Hollifield spent about an hour with me and with my mouse to determine whether Bianca was a good candidate for this surgery. She concluded that Bianca was not a good candidate, as she discovered that there was probably an abdominal mass/tumor while the scab was healing. Surgery was cancelled and Dr. Hollifield did not charge me for anything, even though she spent a lot of time with me and my pet on a very busy day and I insisted. This doctor really cares for animals, she is an excellent diagnostician and I trust her completely. She has experience with all animals. I have referred Dr. Hollifield to many of my friends. I recommend this practice completely and I will be going to see her for my other pets.

Dr hollifield cares more about your $$$ than your pets. She would tell you that your pet is sick and to come back for test. I had my conure who molted that he lose most of feathers on his chest. I took him to Dr mollified, and she said that my conure had kidney and liver problems. She recommended me to bring my conure back for bloodwork every week or every two weeks. One day my conure was so sick so I took him to the emergency room in Fairfax, VA. It turned out that conure had too many different medicines prescribed by Dr Hollifield! My conure did not have liver and kidney problems as Dr hollifield claimed. The molt was very common for conure. The last time I took my conure to Dr hollifield for bloodwork, she nearly killed my conure. After that I decided not to bring my conure back. If she tells you that your pet is sick, take your pet to other vet for second opinion.

Knowledgable, friendly, and reassuring staff make it a pleasure to care for an animal here. Dr. Hollifield even makes herself available outside of business hours for special concerns. Altogether a remarkable establishment.

Dr. H is the best. She loves birds, and as a bird owner I love to see it. We took our tiny 6-month-old bird in for her first check-up, and Dr. H was so kind and sweet to our scared little one. She had a feisty little doggo in the exam room next to us, and she had the little canine moved to another room because our bird was terrified of the barking.
She assessed our bird, Mango, and gave us such valuable tips and info. Her assistant was lovely as well.
We had some follow-up questions about our birdie's care days later, and she responded promptly as soon as we emailed (9 pm, btw). Who is this angel?!
We feel so lucky to have found her!

Dr. Hollifield truly loves animals as well as her staff. She is knowledgeable and scientific about dogs as well as exotics. I have been very happy with the after hours responses about care for my new puppy. She also has all of the resources in house and can get labs back quickly. The staff is caring and kind to my pets and prompt to respond to prescription refills, pet concerns, and more! I highly recommend Best Friends!
