We bring our 3 cats here and absolutely love this veterinarian practice. Dr. Deavers and the staff are extremely kind and patient with our felines who do not at all like leaving the comforts of home (as is normal for cats). Dr. Deavers and the staff are also great at remembering who I am and who my cats are on the rare occasion I stop in without the cats which adds to the experience and makes us feel so cared for. We are able to schedule appointments easily and I find the prices are very reasonable. Our cats get seen annually for checkups and one of our cats has had 2 dental surgeries there of which both went great. I highly recommend this practice for your pets!

Excellent communication and excellent care. This vet and her staff not only have provided excellent service over the years but they genuinely care about you and your pets. Couldn't say enough good things about our experiences!

The staff are friendly but their doors are always locked! You need to call and wait outside so someone will come to open the door!

I took my cat here for his first visit and was thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding, the exam room was clean and modern (they even have cat specific exam rooms to reduce stress), and most importantly my cat received amazing care here. I’m happy I found a welcoming environment where my cat feels comfortable because he tends to get stressed and somewhat aggressive at vet appts. I highly recommend trying out this practice if you are looking for a new veterinary practice. Not to mention, the prices were significantly cheaper here than his previous clinic. All in all, 10/10 experience.

I've liked Dr. Deavers but the practice has changed over the years. It may be the influx of new patients, but my schedule has been shifted, requests for records to be emailed have required multiple calls, and communication has been poor overall. The icing on the cake was today's visit. My dog was seen for surgery and I requested a high end and low end estimate. She went $40 over the estimate without my consent for and claimed it was for a bandage. It may not seem like much, but for me it was a lot and outside of the quote. I stated that it was not fair as I received no communication about the change. She then said she could remove the bandage and remove the added cost. Of course I wasn't going to jeopardize the well-being of my dog but it told me a lot about the practice's priorities when a matter of $40 was worth an animal's health and retaining a patient. - Post update. Having to get his surgery fixed by another vet. See attached photo. I'm not sure what happened to this practice, I used to have high praise for them. See attached photo.

When we moved here 6 years ago we struggled to find a trustworthy vet who treated our dog as their own. We eventually found Dr. Deavers & her amazing team! I appreciate their genuine care & concern, that they take into consideration your financial situation, & they clearly communicate all the potential options for you & your pet that promote a high quality life for all! In the 35 years I’ve had pets & accompanied them on vet visits, I have never found a vet so compassionate towards animals. I highly recommend Healing with Heart - they have our whole heart for our whole lives!

Dr devers is a very kind and intelligent veterinarian. She will take care of any animal. Saw a duck being brought in once.

Dr. Deavers and her staff at HWH really care. They go above and beyond to help their patient families. They are all so kind, sympathetic, understanding, patient, and communicative when caring for our furry family members. I have every confidence our dogs get the very best care at HWH.

HWH has taken such great care of my diabetic shih tzu. He has improved so much in the last few weeks since we moved him from another vet. The entire office staff is accommodating and caring. They have taken the time to teach us how to take better care of our Sammy. I highly recommend them!

Dr. Deavers and staff were wonderful throughout the 2 years my old girl battled diabetes. Her road ended today in a wonderful, peaceful manner thanks to them.

I was impressed by the reasonable prices & the treatment(s) my pet received. I wish I asked if Dr. Deavers has a wish list as many veterinary practices need donations of pet supplies, sanitizer & office supplies to help defray costs and when I can, I donate $ for strays brought in needing treatment. The location is great! Almost adjacent to the Harris Teeter @ Sandbridge Commons Shopping Mall in Virginia Beach! VA

My review of them here disappeared. So a will check here daily to see if it disappears again. I have been taking my pets to Healing Heart Veterinary in Va. Beach for approximately two years. I left for several reasons. It is hard to schedule an appointment with them. Appointments are difficult to get because they do not have many available. So if you work, good luck. My schedule is easy to work with. I have most hours available so this should not be such an issue but it still is. Often, they do not return calls. Often, when you call, you are put on hold for long periods of time, and sometimes they do not come back. This bothers me the most because once my pet needed treatment for an infection, and they never called me back until I called them to complain, then they returned my call about the issue. I had to call them for my pets testing results on a few occasions, since I did not hear from them. You wait for far too long in the waiting room and back rooms. My pets need a vet that will be there for them when they are sick to, not just for pre scheduled appointments. They were generally nice people but that is not why I go to the vet. I go to get treatment for my pets, and they need someone dependable that can be counted on to take care of them.
