The staff at Burke Vet clinic are fabulous! When I had to put one of my cats to sleep, the vet and staff were so kind, understanding, and comforting. Their fees are also more reasonable than other vet clinics I've used.

Over the past 5 years I have experienced the best vet care for my dog Max and my cats Rascal and Tigger. The admin staff has always remained courteous and professional showing concern and care for my pets as if it was their own pet. Each of the vets I’ve been privileged to see with these three furbabies have all been outstanding! Recently I brought Rascal in who is my more nervous furbaby and Dr Alt was very calm and kind and Rascal breezed through his appointment with flying colors (black and white kitty). Again, any vet in this office is true pet lovers and explains things well. They even call after appointments to make sure the pet who just had the appointment is fine after shots and such. Anytime any of my friends ask for a vet recommendation I tell them about Burke Veterinary Clinic without hesitation. Go now! You will not regret it. ❤️

I have been coming here for over 8 years. Never pushy, always honest and reasonably priced vet care. My 13-year-old Catahoula mix suffers from a lot of anxiety and this is the only place he feels comfortable. The care is not only affordable but superb, they always follow up, even days after your initial appointment via phone. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I used to live in Arlington but moved to Winchester a couple years ago and STILL DRIVE all the way to Burke. I never go anywhere else unless it is an emergency. Been to a lot of vets in many locations throughout Virginia and DC, this is hands down the best place you can take your furkids. Thank you folks!! Truly grateful for the exceptional care I can consistently expect from Burke Veterinary Clinic.

I have been using Burke Veterinary Clinic since I moved to the East Coast in 2010. Dr. Alt has provided care for my 4 dogs. Dr Carcamo has been great with my senior dogs too. Dr Carter and Dr Kimmel have also been great with my dogs. The front office staff and the veterinary technicians are professional, courteous, friendly and very helpful. I recommend Burke Veterinary Clinic.

Burke Veterinary Clinic provides an amazing quality of care - both seeing that all the clinical needs are capably managed but also the personal support and patience that is too often overlooked but so critical. Although I moved out of the area, I still drive 55 miles to see Dr. Alt and the great staff!

I've taken my cat there for over five years and can't compare Burke Veterinary Clinic to any other because it's the only clinic I've ever been to. Staff was pleasant, and my cat was comfortable during the vaccination. The vet answered questions about general concerns I had and made sure to follow up to see that she was doing well the day after.

Dr. Alt and his staff are wonderful, caring, professional people who treat each animal with compassion. We have been clients for over 25 years. We moved from Burke to Clifton and still make the drive to Burke Veterinary Clinic because of the knowledgeable and kind people working there.

We recently moved to the area and were looking for a new vet for our golden retriever. From booking an appointment, to reminders, to check-in, to the actual appointment, and after visit care, we were impressed with the level of professionalism, attentiveness, and care demonstrated by all the staff at Burke Vet Clinic. Our dog is very anxious by nature, and the staff was so patient and gentle with him.

Dr. Parker is amazing! She was very gentle with my two nervous toy dogs and spent extra time during their exams to put them at ease.

Burke Veterinary Clinic always take great care of our dogs. They treat us and our dogs with compassion and empathy. They don't run up the bill with unnecessary tests, like some other vets. All the doctors and staff are professional and knowledgeable and courtesy. That's why we keep going back.

I'm not really happy with the last visit. Have to wear masks still. Why? Had to re-fill out paperwork even though I've been there with the same paperwork for 5 years. No explanation why. I had to ask. The wait for a skin test was about 30 mins, which seemed a bit much. The exam did not seem very thorough, and I was not told about the cost of the skin test beforehand. It is becoming cost prohibitive to own a pet. Will look around for better pricing.

I am so happy to have found this office. I really wanted to be able to go into the room with my dog so I could point out the areas of concern and talk to the vet in person. Many office still do not allow this however, in this office, you can join your fur child as long as you wear a mask. The front staff answered all of my questions, were friendly when I had to reschedule and they are transparent with fees. I have been to many offices where they request unnecessary visits/ tests and this office is not one of them. The office manager was so friendly and came to greet us both when we arrived, the assistants were caring and pleasant and Dr. Carter was thorough, intelligent, honest and kind. I appreciated her taking the time to answer my questions, giving me her honest opinion on what she would do if I were her, providing me with options and helping to work out a feasible treatment plan for my dog. 5 stars all around. These are a group of professionals/neighbors that deserve your business. Give them a visit if you have a fur friend. :)

We've been using Burke Veterinary Clinic for 9 years and have received excellent care for our two dogs, each and every visit/phone call/e-mail. Everyone is friendly, professional, patient with questions, and the follow up is excellent. Our dogs have had major surgeries, minor issues, and everything in between, and each time we are met with attentive, professional care. Would highly recommend this clinic! All of the veterinarians are excellent, and I believe we've seen them all over the years!

I recently started bringing all my pets to Burke Veterinary Clinic after the vet we were seeing moved on to other opportunities. Everything up until the visit this past Saturday had been delightful, which made the rudeness I experienced so off-putting.I called on Friday to make an appointment. When I spoke to the person on the phone I mentioned that I wanted to bring in my 18 year old cat to see the doctor and get a shot of Covenia. The person on the other end said they had a cancellation on Saturday and that since my cat had already received this same injection in October that it would just be a tech visit. I'll pause here and say, that my 18 year old cat has stage 4 kidney disease and recurring kidney infections and UTIs. The Covenia is used to treat infections and has worked wonders for him when he flares up.I arrive on Saturday and call to check in. 12:40 comes and goes. At 12:45 I call and I'm placed on hold for at least 3-4 minutes. No one ever came back to pick up the phone. So I went inside to ask what the delay was. The woman at the front told me they were running behind and super busy. Normally, that wouldn't be an issue if that had been communicated when I checked in, but it wasn't. Additionally, I was told that the appt shouldn't have been scheduled as a tech visit and they now needed to consult a doctor, and that was going to take time because they were very busy. THEN, the lovely lady continued to tell me that although it's been about seven to ten minutes since I was supposed to have had my appointment, she didn't think it was a big deal and would have likely said something when it was 15 minutes past when my appt was supposed to be. My 18 year old cat is wailing in the carrier, because he's uncomfortable and has to use the litterbox and he can't.She couldn't tell me when they would be able to get to the doctor and shrugged her shoulders at me as if it wasn't her problem. She also proceeded to tell me that the reason the doctor had to be consulted is that despite my cat having received the injection before at this practice, there were no notes.So my poor cat is screaming in pain, and has now had an accident due to three issues that the practice itself should take responsibility for.1. No notes left in the file after the first visit when I explained the purpose for the covenia. Why? That's simply poor judgement.2. The appt was scheduled as a tech visit. I didn't ask for this, It was offered. But if they have a procedure in place that says it shouldn't be a tech visit if the original doctor isn't working that day and there aren't any notes, why did this happen?3. They never communicated any of this to me until I went inside and asked.And they never apologized for any of it. Simple communication and owning that THEY MADE MISTAKES that led to this, would have gone a long way here. I didn't receive an ounce of compassion from the woman I dealt with. She was rude, and condescending and tried to educate me on why and how they use Covenia.You should NEVER treat clients the way that I was treated and I truly hope it never happens to anyone else.
