EMERGENCY, SURGERY, & CRITICAL CARE SPOTLIGHT: Albert🐾
“I cannot say enough incredible things about Partner Vet, Dr. Barnes and Dr. Pierre quite literally saved my dog Albert’s life, and I will be forever grateful.
As pet parents, we never hope to need emergency or critical care, but when you do, you want a team like this ready and waiting. Partner Vet was exactly that for us. Dr. Barnes, the surgeon (James River Veterinary Surgery, inside building), is extraordinary. Facing surgery was one of the most frightening experiences I’ve had as a pet owner, but Dr. Barnes’ skill, confidence, and clear communication gave me trust and peace when I needed it most. Knowing Albert was in those hands made all the difference.
Dr. Charlebois, who managed Albert’s critical care right after, was equally amazing. The level of attentiveness, compassion, and dedication shown during Albert’s recovery was beyond anything I could have hoped for. I always felt like Albert was being closely watched, truly cared for, and treated like he mattered.
What truly sets Partner Veterinary apart is their level of care and coverage; they have a critical care veterinarian on-site every hour, supported by a team of amazing technicians and staff. That constant, expert oversight gave me immense comfort during such a stressful time.
The entire team was kind, patient, and deeply compassionate. They took the time to answer questions, provide updates, and support me through a very emotional experience. It never felt like Albert was “just another case”… he was genuinely loved and cared for. Because of them, Albert is home, healing, and doing well, and that is everything. They are true heroes for us, pet parents.
If you are looking for a veterinary team with exceptional medical expertise and even greater heart, Partner Vet & James River Surgery is simply the best.” —Leesa K.
