The Regional Veterinary Referral Center is located in the heart of the Northern Virginia – Washington, DC metropolitan area. It is a comfortable combination of both old and new. The Emergency Service Department has been well established (since 1985) in the community and is the central connection between you, your pet, the referring veterinarian and the other specialists within the Center. Our newly expanded facility is well over 9500 square feet and still growing. The Center boasts some of the most advanced diagnostic/treatment modalities offered in veterinary medicine today. We are the only facility in the mid-Atlantic region to offer an on-site CATScan service, radiation therapy via a linear accelerator and the presence of a Board Certified Cardiologist, Dermatologist, Internist, Ophthalmologist, Radiation Oncologist, Radiologist, two Surgeons (one with special training in surgical oncology) as well as a Rehabilitative Therapy program complete with underwater treadmill. Our state-of-the-art diagnostics, coupled with an in-house laboratory and well trained and dedicated staff, provide the foundation for an extremely effective Referral Center. We are devoted to providing a caring environment that treats people and animals with dignity, kindness and respect. Continuously striving to keep pace with technology when there is a direct benefit for our patients, we are extremely excited to be the first veterinary hospital in the region to have a true digital radiology system. This will allow for faster studies and better communication and consultations within the referral center. While we pride ourselves on our technical advances, we are continually brought back to the human side of veterinary medicine – trying to care for our patient’s owners. We have made special accommodations such as our ?family room” where a client can visit with his/her pet in a homier atmosphere during their hospital stay. The Regional Veterinary Referral Center is located in the Northern Virginia – Washington, DC metro area although patients are routinely referred to us from the entire mid-Atlantic region. It is also the home of Radiocat – a practice with clinics across the country specializing in the treatment of feline hyperthyroidism with radioactive iodine (I-131). Because of our very special approach to pets and their owners, and the presence of highly trained individuals, RVRC is quickly becoming the premiere place for the treatment of cancer in animals. The hospital has been and remains a work in progress, a vision to provide the best possible care for your pet.

Great Falls Animal Hospital was started in 1963 as a one-veterinarian clinic operated by Dr. Edward Michelitch. “Doc” Michelitch had a deep love for animals and a vision of a veterinary hospital that treats pets with the same level of medical care and attention given to human patients. Doc saw this same vision in Dr. Goldsmith and Dr. Henshaw, people who would move forward continuing the hospital’s quality of care. With their insight and dedication to veterinary medicine, Great Falls Animal Hospital has become a multiple veterinarian, full-service facility offering the most progressive and up-to-date treatment for pets throughout Great Falls and surrounding communities. Not all animal hospitals are accredited. In fact, only about 3,500 (12-15%) animal hospitals in the United States and Canada are accredited. Unlike human hospitals, animal hospitals are not required to be accredited. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) evaluated us on approximately 900 standards of veterinary excellence in order to become accredited. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine. The Standards of Accreditation are continuously reviewed and updated to keep our practice on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence. The standards address patient care and pain management, surgery, pharmacy, laboratory, exam facilities, medical records, cleanliness, emergency services, dental care, diagnostic imaging, anesthesiology, and continuing education. To maintain accredited status, we undergo comprehensive on-site evaluations every three years. Come and see why this makes a difference for you and your pet!
