About 

JAMES DOLAN, DVM

Dr. Dolan received his B.A. in neuroscience from Middlebury College in 2008 and a master's degree in Biomedical Science from Colorado State University in 2009. He completed his DVM from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. His veterinary career began as a mixed animal practitioner in rural Pearisburg, VA where his daily routine centered around cattle, horses, small ruminants, dogs, and cats. He then moved to Richmond in 2016 and continued working with dogs and cats. When asked about his veterinary interests he said, “orthopedic surgery and preventive care. I very much enjoy the daily interactions and conversations with clients on how best to care for their pets.”

KEVIN RILEY, DVM

Dr. Riley received his B.S. in Animal Science from Virginia Tech in 1980. He later went on to get his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Virginia Tech in 1986. In his veterinary career, he has treated a wide range of pets, from Goochland deer dogs to West End couch potatoes. “My biggest goal in working with clients is to determine the type of care they want for their pets. Some people want human level care with ultrasounds, CT scans, and chemotherapy, while others prefer comfort care. I’ll help you decide what you want to do and make you feel comfortable with your decision.”
