Stay away!!!! 01/31/2015 I rushed my 11 wk old puppy to Seneca Hill Animal Hospital in Great Falls VA with symptoms of choking and gaging after eating. Vet J. Ludwig in presence of vet assistant Amy (they denied my legal right to know her last name as any person participating in my dog exam/treatment) did exam and xrays which showed no blockage of GI or any serious deformities or any other very serious issues, everything was pointing on regular stomach bug, especially considering the fact that my puppy got into digging and eating mulch/dirt a day before. Vet J. Ludwig admitted he does not see anything obvious very serious but started to demand for me to proceed with multi thousand$$$$ unnecessary exploratory surgery. I said no, of course, then they charged me $400, which I paid, for their services and denied my request to give me RX for any anti gas/acid, antibiotics or GI calming meds. I went home and put my poor puppy on meds I had left overs from previous cases of upset stomach in my other dogs/puppies. In 3 days the puppy got completely well. My permanent vet came back to work after weekend, I took xrays to his office and he confirmed that puppy did not need urgent exploratory surgery. Next I received un announced visit from animal control because Seneca Hill animal hospital called them with flat out lies that I caused cruel death of my puppy by not performing exploratory surgery. They stated to animal control they saw on xrays mulch and rocks blocking whole GI of my puppy and they are sure in this condition puppy died. I have to add that I heard that vet assistant Amy told other vet techs and assistants in a back she likes my puppy and wants him bad. Then she walked into exam room and told me she will take puppy ownership and do the surgery. Of course I told her no so she called animal control trying to confiscate my puppy and make my life miserable. Seneca Hill failed to provide me her last name, my puppy health records I requested from the hospital officials and I need to forward to Commonwealth of VA Board of Vet Medicine (I filed an official complaint against their license) ; their manager Mandy Q. promised owner of the hospital to contact me but they failed to do so. They did not even give me a receipt for $400 I paid to them, I only have my credit card statement showing it and CD with xrays they burned for me.

Senaca Hill was recommended by a friend when my dog got very sick...at that time, I was looking for a second opinion. First place I took him to took 3 X-rays, 2 blood chem, 1 fecal..wrong med...2 weeks after.. my dog was sicker than ever-they had no idea. Dr. Papalko at Seneca took one X-ray and saw that his heart was dialated - sent X-ray to cardiologist (CVCA- was great), ultrasound scheduled..all happened in 2/3 day period. I was so thankful that doctor felt the urgency of the situation and followed through with quick actions. Jackson was succumbed by his heart disease and is in doggy heaven but he was cared for with utmost Compassion, respect and kindness during last months of his life. I have 2 more dogs and knowing I have quality care available gives me great comfort. As for price, no more expensive than your typical mediocre animal hospital. Everyone is top notch at this facility. Highly recommended!

Our yellow lab was hit by a school bus....Seneca Hill gave us better care than I have ever received from any doctors office or hospital, for that matter! The quality of care was superb! The ER hospital advised of possible future surgeries, due to the extent of the injuries. Seneca Hill gave us such comprehensive compassionate care, that I was truly amazed! Our dog ended up making a full recovery w/o further surgeries. They run a very organized KNOWLEDGE BASED practice!! I was amazed at the extent that Dr Holman went to keep our dog comfortable but properly cared for, while constantly communicating different options for improved care. I wish all humans could experience the care given at Seneca Hill!

I cant say enough about the vets and technicians at Seneca Hill Animal Hospital. When we had to euthanize our older cat, the compassion and care was outstanding. Our current animals love our vets. Our dog gets so excited to see the dog swimming pool that she drags me down the hall. I never have trouble reaching a vet if I have a concern. Procedures and costs are explained ahead of time, and options provided. I have no doubt that all employees- vets, technicians and receptionists, of Seneca Hill love animals, and make the care and safety of all animals a priority. As long as I live in this area, I will remain a client of Seneca Hill!

Dr. Homan is the vet for my cat. She and the vet tech staff at Seneca Hill Animal Hospital are caring and very detailed with results and next steps. My cats care is their priority and they treat him with compassion and love. We do not live anywhere close to Great Falls - but the drive is worth the excellent care provided. My cat deserves the best and we found it at Seneca Hills. I will note that the facility is in excellent condition and unlike previous vets we have used, there is no odor. They really put a lot of effort into making going to the vet a positive experience for the pet and owner. Kudos to them.
