The staff and doctor were very friendly, attentive to my cat and addressed all my concerns plus provided additional care to get my pet up to date with her healthcare. The appointment process was easy to schedule online and there was minimal waiting to be roomed. Advice for follow up was explained in addition, handouts were also provided. I am always very happy with the care and experience at Ballston Animal Hospital. Have been taking my pets there for over 20 years.

We’ve had a lot of different vets over the years, but we’ve been with Ballston Animal Hospital for about 4 years now and I cannot see that changing, even though we recently moved a bit further away. The care that our cats receive here is excellent, and everyone is always courteous and professional. There is no upselling, overselling, etc. that is becoming common at a lot of vet clinics. We really trust them and know that our cats are in great hands here.

Excellent doctors, staff, and technicians. They’ve assisted us with our dogs health from everything benign, to dental, to international travel certifications. Have been coming here for years and hope to for years to come.

Dr. Gallitz is the best! She's been seeing my dog for the past 8 years, and I have recommended her to numerous friends. The entire staff is wonderful, but Dr. Gallitz has taken the time to get to know me, my pup, and her issues, and I really appreciate that. She always walks me through numerous options for any ailments or questions I have. In particular, I'm always blown away by her comprehensive and thoughtful email responses. Especially since people doctors don't take time to respond other than one word answers, it is beyond refreshing and makes me feel that we're in the best hands and receiving comprehensive care. She has gone above and beyond for us multiple times when my dog has been sick- moving her day around to treat my dog and give an impromptu surgery. I hope she knows how much it is appreciated!! Thank you!!

The name says "hospital" but good luck with urgent or after hours care. They have premium prices and many think it's good quality of care. It feels like they upsell everything, catering to those who think of pets as family members.
Example can be teeth cleaning: I can literally pull food out of my dog's mouth (yeah, most doggies aren't like that) yet they insist on the dog getting full anesthesia, requiring cardiac evaluations before putting them under; for a dental cleaning. It may feel like a bit much for a dog.

I was a long-term client of Ballston Animal Hospital,, for 15 years at least. Over the last few years, their prices were going up for a simple Wellness Check, it seemed as if the price had doubled year over year. They used to be open on Saturdays for 7:00-12:00 and they are now not open on Saturdays. I requested an estimate of the cost for a teeth cleaning and was given a price $2000-3000 and the simple cleaning, with no need to have any teeth removed, was $1500. Previous cleanings were in the range of $400 to $600 - this included having 2 teeth pulled and medication. The last time I called the office on a Saturday was for a rare emergency about her eye. I was not offered one of their Saturday appointments (I had called at 7:30). Instead they told me to call South Paws or another Emergency Animal hospital DC. I felt that it was important she see a Vet on Saturday but did not need an emergency animal hospital so, I called VCA Alexandria; they got us in a few hours later. As I suspected, the Vet treated her eye and gave me medication, one of which she will need to use for the rest of her life. The price for the Urgent Care visit and medication was $350. We were told to follow up with our regular vet in 4-6 weeks to make sure that things were going well - no medication was given and the charge was a little over $500. I really liked one vet very much but when considering the nice vet and high prices vs an adequately congenial vet and lower costs - we changed vets. I felt like I was told to have expensive testing and other diagnostic procedures done. Prices quoted were 4-5 times the cash prices I had been quoted for the same procedure. I mentioned that to the Vet and was told, "you have insurance." not hearing me say the cash price. I would suggest that you consider other veterinary clinics.

Ballston Animal hospital is a great vet, everyone who works there is kind and welcoming. The vet tech treated my nervous cat so nicely and did her best to make him feel comfortable. Would recommend for any cat parents!
