🌟 10-Star Rating
We went to visit Dr. Krysta Bailey in June of 2025 with our 4-year-old black Labrador Retriever, Ruger who was born with elbow dysplasia. From the initial meeting with Dr. Bailey was positive, uplifting, and went above and beyond to thoroughly explain the treatment options for Ruger, the associated costs, and the necessary timeline for his recovery and improved quality of life.
Dr. Bailey exhibited a profound commitment to our well-being, dedicating an unreserved and generous measure of her time to ensure we felt completely comfortable and fully understood every aspect of Ruger's care. Her presence provided immense reassurance, extending even to making certain we remained at ease while waiting for Ruger during his procedure. It has been eight weeks since Ruger's first procedure, and we are ecstatic that he is back to the playful, fun-loving Labrador he was at one year old. We recommend Dr. Bailey with the highest possible regard and give her a 10-star rating. We are profoundly grateful for the unparalleled expertise Dr. Krysta Bailey provided us—she truly goes above and beyond for all of her patients.
Sincerely, Jon and Christine Doering - Dumfries, VA
