“I was in the market for finding a new vet for my dog after just feeling like I needed too. I looked at numerous places and Godspeed seemed like the best based on reviews plus it's very close to my residence. Making the appointment was simple and the staff was able to answer all my questions prior to the appointment. The doctor and technician were great! It was a smooth overall experience and I'm so glad not to have unnecessary things forced on me and everything suggested was simply suggested, which I greatly appreciate. The doctor and technician seemed very caring and empathetic towards myself and my dog. Thank You, thank you. I do have some follow-up questions I didn't think of while in the office, but I'll have to give a call. I certainly will continue to have my dog cared for at this vet. Thank you again, Godspeed Animal Care.”
“Dr. B, you are not only an awesome doctor with great surgical skills, you are a kind and compassionate human being! We are thankful we found you. I’ve been to other local vets, and you definitely stand out above the rest. We recently had to put our dog down and you did it in the most empathetic way. This was not the first time we have been through this and believe me there was such a big difference between you and the other vet. Because it hurts too much to go into detail, I will just say that your compassion made a big difference in the extremely sad loss of our canine family member.”
“Our Rhodesian Ridgeback (Star, 5) started limping after the snowstorms and we assumed a sprained muscle. Dr Pate mentioned he wanted to see her again if the pills did not help. After not getting better it was discovered that she had Osteosarcoma. He put in a referral for us for a Vet in Henrico, but was very open with what this meant for our dog.
We chose pallative care. Dr Pate did not make us feel bad and continually checked in on Star to make sure she was doing ok or if she needed different meds. She did really well for 4 months following the diagnoses until we saw her light starting to dim and put her down.
I have seen Vets in the past that try and push treatments but respected the Dr Pate was honest and supported our decision to spend what time we had left with our dog in a happy way”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (and then 1,999,995 more!)
If I could give Middle Plantation Animal Hospital infinity stars, I would. Dr. Roger and her phenomenal team are not just veterinary professionals—they're heartfelt healers, emotional lifelines, and truly extraordinary human beings.
Dr. Roger is the type of vet who doesn’t just treat your pet—she sees them. She lovingly calls my rescue cats, Toby (7) and Gibby (14), “my babies” and treats them like they’re royalty with fur. Her honesty, empathy, and incredible depth of care turned what could’ve been a stressful experience into one of compassion and clarity.
When I was overwhelmed, trying to navigate hard questions about my best friends’ health, her team became a net of support. They weren’t just staff—they were practically therapists with stethoscopes. Every visit felt like a mix of expert care and emotional sanctuary.
Middle Plantation isn’t just a clinic; it’s a haven for pets and the people who love them. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
Peep my old baby Gibby at his first visit, and one of Dr. Roger’s helpers doing everything to make him comfortable. ❤️❤️”
“The entire staff including Dr. Bates vet doctor listens to my needs about my pets. I am severely hearing impaired, and they always speak so that I understand what is going on. They help me as a pet parent by providing support to show me how to properly administer medication ointment and cleaning tools to do correctly once at home for my pet to heal properly. I cannot say enough good things about them. They are truly wonderful people. My Henry is healing nicely and back to his spunky lil self.”
“Thank you to the entire staff for not only getting us seen. We had been at the park when my boy passed bloody stool. Our current vet was closed and the Emergency vet didn't open until 10pm. Without hesitation they got him in. Everyone was so kind and I left having answers I'd been searching for. They even called several days later to check on him and to let me know they were there if I needed anything. Im beyond pleased with our care”
“The staff here are great! They come out to you or you have the option to bring your animal in. I highly recommend them! They will even help you treat chickens if you need.”
“So far we love it here every time we take our babies in everyone is so nice and the girl pay attention to them and give them treat and plenty of attention. We also love how they always call the next day and check on the babies after an appointment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STAFF IF GREAT !!!!!!!!!!”
“Dr. Garmen is the very best of what you want in a vet. She is caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable and you can trust her to take care of your little fur baby. She will get down on the floor to greet a shy dog like mine and offers advice or share ideas on behavior and such. I will never go to another vet.”
