Overall a fairly good vet, Dr. Hayes is very caring; but the reason for the 3 star review is tech and communication issues made for a very difficult situation.
Update to last paragraph: changed from 2 to 3 stars after I Spoke with Dr. Hayes who explained the situation and we… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

My dog has a history of fear aggression so its always been super important for my to have a vet that feels comfortable handling my dog.
My previous vet handled him COMPLETELY different and it felt as if they were walking on eggshells, but Williamsburg Veterinary works with you… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
I have used this clinic since the 90's, through a series of nine cats, and they have been consistently kind, caring, and professional. Dr. Hayes, Dr. Dozier and the staff do their best to put pet parents at ease during stressful health episodes. I can honestly say that I have… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
Dr Hayes, Shanna, and the rest of the team here always provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere for my cat Tiberius. They were very helpful and always happy to explain all of the procedures and options and we never felt rushed. View on Google (opens in new tab)
One of the best pet care experience I had in a long time! the staff treated me and my pet with such care and thoughtfulness. They were able to work around my situation and were so detailed and informative about her care and everything,, would recommend! View on Google (opens in new tab)
6 years after the pandemic and this office STILL has a ‘wait in your car for 25 minutes and we’ll eventually come get your pet, but you’re not allowed in’ protocol. Why upset my dog by prying her out of my arms so a stranger can carry her in, instead of keeping her comfortable… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
Very disappointed with the veterinary care at this clinic. A serious issue with my cat’s health was missed, causing her to suffer for months with a urinary blockage that eventually required surgery. They also dismissed concerns about my second cat, only for another veterinarian… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Could not recommend a veterinary office more highly than I recommend Williamsburg Vet. As an organization, they’re accommodating, kind, and convenient. As individuals, they truly care.

I’ve brought my dogs a few times here already, they’ve seen both Dr. Hayes and Dr. Dosher. All I can say is they’re amazing!!! They were with another vet for 3yrs and they have never been treated as amazing as they have here. My dog is a bit anxious and it would take 3-4 people… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Our first time visiting with our 2 Siamese cats. We were a little taken aback by their "fear free" protocol but in the end it worked out fine and the cats did seem pretty chill. They came out to get the cats from our car and put them in their exam room for about 10 minutes… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

THE BEST VET EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! They were so attentive and gentle with my kitty. She is very anxious cat and normally hates new environments. They had calming music and treats ready for her.

We've been taking our dogs to Williamsburg Veterinary Clinic since 2013, and they are bar none, the best you'll find for veterinary care. We moved out of state last summer and genuinely miss our visits and the level of support and comfort we received.
