Varsity Veterinary Center

Rescued my first puppy recently and brought her here for her first vet appointment. The staff was friendly from the get go and it was easy to get an appointment quickly. They did a check up and tried to clip her nails but my pup wasn’t having it, but I liked that they didn’t force it. They showed true compassion when handling her.
The thing that really gained my trust was how much time Dr. Olson spent with me answering all my questions, being a new mom and all I had a lot. She gave me helpful tips and even recommend toys and treats. If you are looking for a vet you should definitely choose this one!!!

Had another great experience with this vet clinic. The staff and doctor are so kind and knowledgeable, and even answered some questions I had about a pet who wasn’t being examined that day! Their prices are reasonable, which is lucky since it’s smack in the middle of College Park.
Dr. Olson is a treasure, and I’ll definitely return with all my fur babies!

After moving to the college park area I was looking for a new vet. I read all the positive reviews so I decided to give Dr. Olsen and her staff a shot. The reviews couldn’t be more spot on! I couldn’t be more pleased with the visit. Both the staff and her really do take passion and care in what they do. They took their time to understand my dog history and explain everything that I needed to know (even more than my actual doctor does for me). I don’t think I could possibly more confident in recommending them to anyone looking for a new vet!

I cannot begin to say enough about this office. It is small, extremely clean and welcoming from the get-​go. They even have water for the humans which is wonderful on those hot Florida days. Dr. Olson is wonderful, informative and ALWAYS on time! She explains processes, issues and ailments in a way that a pet owner can understand and digest. She is also very gentle and loving! The office staff and vet techs are also incredibly friendly and caring towards the animals. They treat my dog as if he is their own, which is important to me because you can tell they care about and love their jobs. I also like how Dr. Olson and her staff only recommend products that they know work and they use on their own animals. That is great because they know the intricacies of the product and other things you wouldn’t know without usage. Even though the office visit is a few dollars more than I used to pay, I will continue to sing their praises and recommend Dr. Olson and Varsity Veterinary Center because they are the cream of the crop!

Dr. Olson and her staff are incredible. We adopted our first dog about a year and a half ago from the OC Animal Shelter, and scheduled her first vet visit here. She became very sick within a few days of adopting her, and Varsity was happy to see her before her appointment. Our puppy had parvo, but Dr. Olson provided excellent care and explained the diagnosis and our plan options very thoroughly and with compassion. Our dog is currently in excellent shape, and we owe much of that to this veterinary clinic. Every time we go in for an exam we are met with warm and friendly service, and Dr. Olson has always gone out of her way to answer questions and make recommendations. Your pets are in the best hands here.

My dogs have never liked any vet, but they like Dr. Olsen as much as a dog can like someone that pokes and prods at them. She is very thorough, the staff is great and although not the least expensive they are less than other vets in the area. Won’t go anywhere else.

We naturally gravitated towards Varsity Veterinary Center because we live close to the College Park area. Convenience being the only motivating factor to come here, it could’ve gone very wrong. Thankfully, it ended up being a pretty darn good place to take your pets to!
We have taken our Mini Schnauzer here a few times for a variety of things, and all the staff and Dr. Olsen have been friendly, caring, and truly genuine individuals. We couldn’t feel luckier. Our pet has obvious anxiety issues which causes him to be extremely unfriendly with strangers and other dogs. Yet, they’ve been accommodating each time and never made us feel remotely terrible or uncomfortable. They seem to dote on our little guy in spite of him being rude to them every visit.
They really took good care of him, and was always gentle with him while also being stern when he’s not behaving (which is 90% of the time). They are all incredible animal people to the highest degree.
Highly recommended.

I am so very happy that I found Dr. Olsen and staff. I stopped taking my two cats to see a Vet many years ago because I simply could not find one that was kind, compassionate AND who put the animal first and not money.
My cat was 19 years old — yes, 19 years old. I have been lucky to have had a cat live so long who had relatively minor health problems. He did get very sick about 5 years ago and I took him to another Vet who could not seem to find the problem. I realize with animals that oftentimes it is hard, if not impossible to determine the cause of a health issue but the other Vet seemed to be more interested in making me spend money rather than looking at things practically and coming up with a plan. I left that Vet, and basically nursed my cat back to health by changing his diet.
Unfortunately, recently my little guy started experiencing some health problems that I knew couldn’t be good and I knew that the end was probably near. I took a chance and took him to Dr. Olsen. At first there appeared to be hope but quickly she discovered that the problem was much bigger and that he wouldn’t survive much longer. Of course this news was very hard to take but she explained everything to me and answered all my questions so that I fully understood that the best thing was to put the little guy out of his misery (although, I have to admit that some of what she said went in one ear and out the other since all I could think about was the fact that I had to put my cat to sleep). Her staff was wonderful and on the day that I finally did «it», everyone was very supportive and understanding.
This is the first time in a very long time that I have felt that a Vet truly did care about my animals! I highly recommend.
