Previous vet tech here- and to be honest, it can be tough to tell if you are seeing a "good vet" until your pet gets sick or if you know people who work in the hospital that can be honest with you outside of work. For the most part, it is easy for any vet to be a "good vet" if they are seeing healthy animals just for routine annuals. Obviously customer service comes into play when speaking with the receptionists, vet techs & assistants.

I know I have for sure worked with a handful of doctors that I would never trust with my pets, but we are obviously not allowed to steer clients away from certain doctors.

With that being said I am friends with a vet tech here that has worked at 2 hospitals in RVA- Short Pump Animal Hospital they recommend Dr.Christina and Bell Creek Animal Hospital they mentioned all of the doctors there are great.

This is just one vet tech's opinion, but you may benefit from posting on r/VetTech and seeing if anyone works in the area with doctors they recommend.
