This is a fabulous, extremely professional vetrinary clinic. We're new to the area and needed a vet for our fur-child, and we're so happy that Yelp directed us to Caring Hands! Dr. Murphy and her assistant put our skittish girl at ease, answered all of our questions, and patiently addressed our concerns. Kathy at the front desk welcomed us and made us all feel at home. We feel quite lucky to have found this clinic. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Deb! We know there are a lot of choices out there, and we appreciate you entrusting us with your pet's care. Welcome to the Northern Virginia area and to the Caring Hands family!

I am a happy parent! Just a great experience all around. I turned to Yelp to help me find a new vet for my dog since we had recently relocated and she was due for her annual checkup. I'm always a little wary when I take my dogs to a new vet but Caring Hands made us feel welcomed right from the start. As soon as we walked in there was a sign welcoming my dog Rylee and we were seen right away. The staff was great; very attentive, informative, and polite. They were very sweet to my pup, respected the vaccine schedule my dog was... read more

From beginning to end, I was impressed by the high quality of services I received at Helping Hands Animal Hospital in Merrifield. I wound up visiting them several times during the same week. During each stage of my visit, the Caring Hands personnel were kind and made me feel at ease during an extremely stressful period. I was especially impressed by Drs. Richards and Baxter, who cared for my pet in a thoughtful, thorough manner. They were also solicitous and kind to me. The Caring Hands personnel also called back several da... read more

Dr. Richards and her staff maintain a very high standard of care that is evident from the ambiance, the moment you enter their clinic. Alert, responsive, caring reception, staff assistance in a state of the art facility thoughtfully designed and managed to accommodate pets and their care-takers. Our cat has never seemed to like visiting a vet, but is less so at this vet hospital. 

Business response:

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We look forward to continuing to provide you with exceptional care & service. Welcome to the Caring Hands family!

I cannot overstate how happy we are to have Dr. Richards as our vet. When our German Shepherd developed a terminal illness last year, Dr. Richards and the staff at Caring Hands were compassionate and enormously helpful, doing everything they could to make our beloved dog comfortable until the very end. Dr. Richards went beyond the call of duty, staying late and checking in with us multiple times to see how he -- and we -- were doing. Beyond that experience, Caring Hands provides excellent medical care with love and affecti... read more

Business response:

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to write this review ... it absolutely warmed our hearts. We will continue to exceed your expectations and be there for your family in any way you need us.

We've had nothing but great experiences with Dr Richards at Caring Hands. I have been to other Caring Hands branches in the past and my experience did not compare to the that Dr Richards provided at the Merrifield location. We've been bringing our puppy there from the beginning. She goes out of her way to make sure your pet is getting the best care possible. 

Business response:

Nicole, thank you for your continued loyalty. We are fortunate to have you and your pet as a part of our family. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

My sister recommended that i check out Caring Hands when I adopted my dog Meeko. I eventually did after he ate a blanket, my underwear, his bed, etc. The team at Caring Hands was very understanding and helpful while Meeko was at their clinic. Dr. Richards was especially helpful when it came to explaining my options about surgery and in the end we did not have to do surgery (thank the Lord) and my little Meeko went home feeling better. Now that he has eaten another blanket (don't ask how he got to it, i have no idea) I have a... read more

Business response:

Lauren thanks so much for the review. So glad he is feeling better! We hope that Meeko stays out of trouble... but if he doesn't, we will always be here for both of you if you need us. Welcome to the Caring Hands family!

What can I say about Dr. Richards that others haven't already? We brought our sweet (and very ill) dog Darby to Dr. Richards and she is the most caring, accessible, trustworthy vet I have ever worked with- we can't thank her and her staff enough for the excellent care we received at Caring Hands! 

Business response:

We appreciate you taking the time to write such a glowing review. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything for you guys!

If I could give this clinic 10 stars I would! Our pug has diabetes and epilepsy. It's been a nightmare these last few months getting them under control. Every time I call, I get an answer or a call right back. We've been for emergency visits during the day and they are so awesome about bringing you back and taking care of you in the crisis. Their prices are much lower than the other clinic we were going to in Vienna. I feel all the doctors at this practice are passionate, educated and caring doctors who want the best for t... read more

Rebecca, thank you so much for taking the time to write your review! We are lucky to have you guys join our family. Please give Pug Frank and Coach the Lab kisses for us!
