I have been going here for 30 years. They have been the best. They are their best when your animal has to have their final shot or they pass because they show so much empathy before , during, and after. Their prices are fair. They even support us trying to get meds elsewhere like Chewy for a better price. The wait time is long at times, and thats why I try to go on days when there are 2 vets working. I see a lot of negative comments about the male vet. He is an animal person, not a people person. Some of you do need to go elsewhere so that the rest of us have less wait time. On the topic of no payment plan, I bet you were a first timer there , and if you cant afford a pet, you probably knew that before getting one. Those of you saying they need to retire, WHO ELSE WOULD COME TO TAPPAHANNOCK WITH ALL OF THE EXTREME NEGATIVITY IN THIS TOWN ? Just look on Tappahannock Unsensored or Whats Happening in Tappahannock.

This is the worst veterinarian I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. Dr. Wilkins is horrible. I brought in a sick cat and was laughed at by Wilkins while I stood there sobbing. He refused to do any testing even after I was forced to take ownership of the stray cat and agreed to pay for services. Before even looking at the cat, Wilkins told me it would be $300-$400. No exam other than a rectal thermometer placed. He took my phone from me and googled a diagnosis without even examining the cat. He doesnt care about the animals and he doesnt care about the pet parents. All he cares about is the money. He threw the dying cat onto the exam table with such force, Im surprised he didnt break the cats shoulder. Wilkins allowed the cat to fall off of the high exam table and I had to reach across and grab the cat. Wilkins lifted the cat by his tail and slammed him back onto the exam table. It was vile and traumatizing and the poor cat died a horrible death. I do NOT recommend this vet!!

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Dr Wilkins was awful! Would never recommend him to anyone! He grabbed my cat around his entire neck not scruff and hurt him so badly. Held his face down on the table and was letting him fall of the table while holding his neck! Then kept telling me to put him down even though he had no idea what was wrong with him. He made him bleed badly in his mouth and left him like that! I asked him what I can do for the bleeding and he was a jerk about it. He never got the bleeding to stop either just shoved him pouring blood back in his cage. Then got mad because I wouldn't leave him there with him. Nope! Never will I go back to him. He does have a partner there and I don't know her personally I only had him today so this is just about him. He needs to retire. He's not nice to animals and not nice to people.
