I wouldn’t take my horses anywhere else. They have done everything from a farm call to do a lameness check on my thoroughbred to a melanoma removal on our senior welsh pony in their clinic.The vet who discovered the melanomas (Dr.Aksten) personally texted me after surgery was complete just so I knew our little guy was up and in recovery. Dr. Bolam did the surgery and took off as much as she could to make sure our boy, Max, could live a more comfortable life.My daughters and I couldn’t be anymore happy with how quickly they got us in for surgery and how caring they have been during the whole situation.Not to mention, they have the most gorgeous barn/clinic and the entire staff if so professional.THANK YOU ALL!

We are so very grateful for Dr. Kylie and Dr Sara and the Piedmont Equine Team! They were very responsive, kind, attentive and supportive during some very difficult times when our donkeys were very sick and had to be put down. I would highly recommend them!!

My daughter and her horse Cricket compete in eventing. Her horse has had her share of injuries as would any high-level athlete. But one situation is important. After a day of cross country schooling, Cricket went lame on her left fetlock. Dr. Bowman of Piedmont equine showed up the next day and gave us a choice of an aggressive treatment plan or one non-aggressive (shots vs. oral antibiotics). After explaining the risks, I chose aggressive since we’ve done 8 previous joint injections without issue – coupled with the fact that my daughter was preparing for the American Eventing Championships 8 weeks later. Two days after the injection, it was clear that something was wrong. We rushed Cricket to Piedmont for analysis. The doctors there determined that she had developed an infection in her fetlock, needed two weeks of hospital care, and would be out for 2-3 months. As soon as my daughter did the math and the tears started, I nearly lost it. Everything that they had worked for was lost due to an injection. It wasn’t until a few days later that we both calmed down. The real reason for my 5 stars for Piedmont is what Dr Bowman did. Feeling terrible about the outcome of the situation, Dr. Bowman came out almost every other day to check on Cricket and due to his care, concern and expert analysis, Cricket was able to recover in 4 weeks, resume work, and got back to where she was prior to the injury with time to spare. My daughter and Cricket were able to compete at AECs and 1 month later, place 2nd at the USEA Area 2 Regionals. None of this would have been possible without the care and concern of Dr Davis and the staff at Piedmont Equine. With all the varied types of injuries that can happen to a horse, we will still call Dr. Bowman and Piedmont equine first whenever anything happens to my daughter’s pride and joy.

Dr. Ahster and her assistant were very caring with my horse and checked her out thoroughly. Unfortunate, my horse was sick and had to be put down. I am very grateful for the job and the compassion these two ladies had.Thank you.🐴

This review is for the new portion of this practice, The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine.This is the most wonderful veterinary clinic. They saved my cats life. Their staff went above and beyond to ensure he was well after his discharge. I cannot thank this clinic enough. Their thoroughness, wonderful care, attention to every detail was far superior to any vet clinic I have ever dealt with. Thanks to them my cat can enjoy his life for many years to come. It was a very complicated case involving surgery and weeks of care. Their prices are more than fair and I felt my animal received 5 star treatment. Thank you! Thank you!

I have had Dr Davis out for various vettings as well as to work on my mothers horses. He is always very knowledgeable and professional. He is a wonderful rider as well and I think that is helpful in seeing and analyzing the gaits. We most highly recommend the practice. They see a lot of horses and are up to date on current treatment strategies. Wonderful practice, with very helpful kind office and barn staff as well.

I have used Piedmont Equine exclusively since about 2012 for my dressage horse. I have seen Dr. Nolan, Dr. Davis and Dr. Anikis (practice partners)- all are top notch vets - especially for the sport horse. What I especially like about Piedmont is the five partners seem to collaborate well - and with the addition of their full-time surgeon - the partners will bring her in for her opinion as well. Dr. Davis took excellent care of my horse when he broke his leg in January of 2018. He was direct, and realistic - and bottom lined it to me very quickly. And we had a plan drawn out quickly to get my horse healed - I knew the risks and the probabilties of the outcomes. My horse is now back 100% from his broken leg and debuted at 4th level (rated) with scores in the 60's in November of 2018. Much of that is a credit to Dr. Davis. Is Piedmont Equine expensive? Since so many variables come into play in answering that question - that is not an easy answer. I have a competing horse - when you throw that variable in - I don't think they are expensive. They are certainly not the cheapest vet in the Loudoun/Clarke, Prince William area- but their rates are a reflection, in part, to the expertise/experience that is in the practice partners, the varied types and sheer numbers of equines they administer to, the technology they own/use, the $$ spent in keeping up with the newest practices, and the enabling technologies used by the vets to share and collaborate. There are vets that I know, in the Loudoun county, VA area that do charge less but they are not sport horse vets and I would not trust them to inject my horse's joints or diagnose a tendon strain. There is a Equine vet I know that is excellent and is extremely expensive but not the nicest person - I won't deal with that. While no vet is perfect or right for every situation - I have had very good experiences with Piedmont Equine and recommend them to anyone looking for a vet for their horse- especially with a competing horse.

So caring. Stayed open two hours after closing for my family to arrive since we needed to put our dog to sleep. Everyone was great in this difficult time

I highly recommend Piedmont and particularly Dr. Anikis, who has worked on my horse for almost 10 years now.

They abandoned the Gingersnap girls rescue. I have no use for vets that leave poor animals in limbo abruptly. Wouldn't bring my pet snail to these folks to look after!
