For the last 11 years, Dr. Yungk has been taking care of my furballs. She has been an amazing help in guiding me through the difficulties of having aging cats. Dr. Yungk is a devoted, compassionate, and committed professional who always provides excellent care. I highly value her recommendation and expertise. My cats appreciate that El Paw has a separate entrance devoted to cats. Despite living more than 30 minutes away from Alexandria, I make the trip to El Paw. So worth it!

I have brought my childhood dog here and my current pup here. Always a good experience . My current dog is super squirmy and so sensitive and I have never felt like they are annoyed with him. They get everything done and educate you on anything you have questions on but no pressure on anything. I will continue to drive down here from Maryland to see Dr.Pearce. Thank you for loving my dogs

New to the state and needed my puppy spayed. They were able to get me in for an initial pre op appointment quickly and she had the procedure two weeks later. The price breakdown was accurate and reasonable. The doctor and staff were very professional and friendly. The clinic is very nice and clean. After her procedure, the doctor called me with updates which I was very grateful for. I decided to make Dr. Pearce my official vet for both of my dogs (I brought my male dog in for his yearly check up when I brought my female dog in for her post op appointment). I would definitely recommend. Prices are very reasonable!

Caring and capable. They really help assuage any anxiety surrounding those visits to the vet. Their pre-visit protocols, by text, voice call, and email, are extremely helpful and always courteous. We never "paws" to trust that our clowder of cats is in good hands at Elpaw Veterinary Clinic. Be sure to say hi to Dr Yungk for us.

We've been taking our dogs Herr for about 5 years or so. Staff is always friendly, vets are knowledgeable and compassionate, and the new location is very clean and inviting. Added bonus that they have separate entrances, waiting areas, and exam rooms for dogs and cats.

My family has been going to El Paw for 25+ years and have taken both dogs and cats to see Dr. Pearce. She is an incredible vet—kind, patient, and very knowledgable. She will tell you the truth in a compassionate but direct way about your pet’s health and will not swindle you! All animals really love her—even my cat who is not a people person lol. She is a great vet and I highly recommend her.

My goldendoodle is prone to ear infections due to floppy ears. I saw Dr. Young in April for a full annual blood work up and 5 shots for my baby. I called to get ear medication as he is having a bad ear infection and won’t stop shaking his head. He cries if I even poke his ear. Because Dr. Young is now on maternity leave they are requiring the 2nd vet see my dog to prescribe antibiotics. How can you not trust your other vet vouching he needs the antibiotic and she saw him less than 6 months ago! Time for a new vet-they just want your money!

I have been going to Elpaw for 9 years. I picked them because they are an AAHA pet facility! All the doctors are great and listen to your issues with your pet. Easy to schedule a visit. I would recommend this practice to anyone with pets.

I tried this clinic out one time on the advice of several of my clients and friends who have also use the clinic. I have had nothing but a frustrating and unprofessional experience. I liked the vet just fine unfortunately you have to speak with the people that they have working the front desk before you can even get to the vet. Good luck with that! First of all they never have an appointment less than 30 days out. They won’t refill any medication without seeing you… I was transferring from another clinic, and I had an appointment today to have my dog seen & medicine refilled. I had a flat tire and I was unable to make it to the appointment. I asked them for a new appointment and again they said “oh we don’t have anything for 30 days. “I said OK well I’m happy to take that but I only have 10 days worth of medicine left if I send you my vet records would you please fill the medicine. She flat out refused to do so, and she also would not even confer with a Vet.More disturbing than that, I called recently after my cat has been seen because there was a potential emergency with him ingesting dental floss. Kate at the front desk was completely unhelpful. I asked her several times to try to contact vet and she told me none were in the office. I then asked her to have the vet call me, and she said “why bother, there weren’t any appointments available. “I never had a call back from a vet.I don’t understand with the hype about this clinic is because the people the front desk are completely unprofessional, unhelpful, and it appears they really don’t care about your pet. On top of that, the way that they decide errands about who’s going to go talk to the doctor, and you’ll like this, is they play rock paper scissors. I am very glad that I knew up front now how unprofessional as Clinic is so that I can save myself the hassleThanks for letting me know how much you don’t care!

We recently moved to this area and decided to try out El Paw because of their many positive reviews. Our first appointment was with Dr.Yungk whom was very kind and pleasant so we decided to schedule a follow up and nail trim. Our dog does not respond well to nail trims so we are used to the techs becoming frustrated but the vet techs during our second appointment were not as kind as Dr.Yungk. We were met with passive and unhospitable comments because of their difficulty providing the nail trim. I would have rather been advised that they could not proceed with the nail trim until my dog had been adequately medicated for her nerves. I do not intend to return nor do we recommend their nail trim services if you have anxious or squeamish dogs.

They don't care about getting you in, while the vet herself is nice, doesn't matter because their front desk staff is unhelpful, unprofessional and lacks common courtesy and sense. I came here one time, and it will be the last time. Particularly disturbing was that I had an emergency with my cat, who they had seen, and when I asked Kate to have the vet call me she refused saying they didn't even have any appointments. If you care about your pet, I recommend going to someplace that actually cares and will have a common sense and courtesy to call you back!

Don't waste your time calling them. You wont be able to get an appointment for a month or longer.

This is by far the best vet I've been to. Both of the vets are incredibly experienced and kind, and the staff is lovely and prompt. My dog Pickles is anxious, and they treat him so incredibly kindly. He's typically scared of men, but all of the vet techs have been so sweet and patient with him. Compared to other vets I've been to, they're also very fairly priced. I never wait long for appointments and always feel so welcomed when I walk in the door. My dog actually runs up to the doors! The new building and facility is also very pretty. I can't say enough good things about Elpaw!
