Welcome to Nexus Veterinary Urgent Care, your trusted destination for thorough, attentive, and timely veterinary physical exams to keep your pet healthy and comfortable.
Comprehensive physical exams are essential to maintain lifelong health for your pets. These exams involve a nose-to-tail evaluation by our veterinary team, assessing everything from your pet’s skin, ears, eyes, and teeth to their heart, lungs, and joints. Our veterinarians’ goal is to catch early signs of illness, determine baseline health, and answer your questions transparently.
Physical exams are more than checkups; they help us build a complete picture of your pet’s well-being. Early detection of issues such as skin allergies, ear infections, dental disease, and heart murmurs leads to more successful treatments and less stress for you and your pet. Whether your visit is for a sudden concern or a routine assessment, a comprehensive exam provides peace of mind and a proactive plan for your pet’s best life.
Our practice serves Virginia Beach and surrounding communities, delivering veterinary care focused on personalized attention at every visit.

At Nexus Veterinary Urgent Care, every comprehensive physical exam follows a patient-first, detail-oriented approach designed for the comfort of you and your pet.
Your visit begins with a warm welcome from our veterinary team. We take time to listen to concerns and gather your pet’s complete history, recent behaviors, prior illnesses, medications, and lifestyle. This background helps tailor our assessment to your pet’s individual needs.
Our veterinarians, including Dr. Hung Vu and Dr. Alyssa Britton, conduct a gentle, systematic exam of your pet. We evaluate the eyes, ears, mouth, skin, heart, lungs, abdomen, muscles, and joints. From checking for dental tartar to listening for abnormal heart sounds, every detail counts.
After our examination, we clearly explain findings and answer your questions. If we notice signs of illness, we discuss diagnostic options. For healthy pets, we focus on preventive care, such as parasite control, nutritional advice, and lifestyle tips.
If your pet requires follow-up, further testing, or care beyond urgent needs, our team supports smooth referrals, either back to your regular veterinary provider or within our network, ensuring seamless continuity of care for your pet’s ongoing health.

Physical exams are about proactive care. Early detection of health changes during a comprehensive exam can make all the difference in avoiding serious illness or costly emergency treatments. Seeing your pet regularly, even when they seem healthy, is one of the best gifts you can give them.
Regular exams help catch problems like skin infections, growths, dental disease, and heart issues early, before they become critical. Early intervention leads to less invasive, more effective care.
Our veterinarians provide advice specific to your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health history. This personalized approach ensures your pet gets the right support, from vaccinations to diet plans, at every stage of life.
Comprehensive physical exams bring reassurance that your pet is truly well. Our team answers your questions, addresses concerns, and provides insight into what you can do at home to keep your pet healthy.
Some health changes are subtle. Watch for these signs that your pet could benefit from a veterinary exam in Virginia Beach:
If you notice any of these symptoms, or have any concerns, contact Nexus Veterinary Urgent Care promptly. Scheduling an exam helps prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
Most adult cats and dogs benefit from an annual comprehensive physical exam, but each pet is unique. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and those with chronic conditions may need more frequent checkups. Nexus Veterinary Urgent Care recommends regular exams tailored to your pet’s life stage and health. If you have questions or uncertainties about exam intervals, reach out to our team for guidance. Even pets who appear healthy may have subtle problems best detected early by a veterinarian.
