I’m truly grateful for the wonderful culture and care staff show at District Vet Brookland. Our cat was seen by Dr Makhijani and Technician Andrew. Both of them were very gentle with our 5 year old cat.I’ve had not-so nice experiences with other vets in DC, but this team has made my heart feel at ease. And I know my cat is also more willing to participate in the examination.

So I brought my dog here because he was having seizures and these people are about 10 minutes from my house. When I got there, the receptionist were really friendly and nice. The office is nice and clean. However, the vet did nothing at all and wanted to charge us $200 just for him to call my dog a cat and pepperoni. He never examined or touched my dog. He then insinuated that we couldn't afford treatment from him - keep in mind this is before he told us that he was charging us $200. The nerve right... I ended up taking my dog to another vet that actually wanted to help us. Oh - did I mention that we were the only 2 black woman there. Don't know if that made a difference or not but I did notice it.

My favorite vet in DC. This place has seen 2 of my dogs and I’ve never had a bad experience. It is a little pricey but for routine items and check-ups nothing outrageous. It’s always clean and the staff are friendly.

This vet always takes great care of my cat, and when he is extra sick (upper respiratory infection) they always find a way to get him in, even if they are very busy. We have been going to them for a year and a half and no complaints.

I took my cat Shiro for her digestive issue. The vet tech, Dr. Raftery was incredible. She gave me plenty of time to address all of my concerns and took time to explain everything to me, including suggestions on my cat's diet and treatment plans. Dr. Raftery has strong professional skills, is knowledgeable, and offers detailed advice on future preventive care. Great experience! I look forward to my next visit. Thank you, Dr. Raftery!

The starting price is $400 and a visit with the vet to neuter a cat. Yikes!

I had heard good things from neighbors but my one and only experience here was likely my last. Our dog wasn't feeling well so I brought him in for an evaluation and to establish care at a vet closer to us. He had labs drawn that took 5 days for us to be contacted that he had a severely elevated serum calcium level (which ended up being hypercalcemia of malignancy). Lab results never took more than a day at our previous vet in VA, which is why I called twice during the week for any lab results; however, I was told by the person answering the phone that lab results take up to 7 days (some generic response) and that I would be contacted if anything was wrong. Based on our experience with our previous vet, and compared to what I experienced here, I won't be back. Our dog is now being seen at Friendship Hospital for Animals.

Very attentive and compassionate vet practice. Appointment started right on time and both the technician and the vet listened carefully to what I had to say about my 10 year old dog. They reassured me that it was a wait and see situation not dire. For full transparency, the vet part of the visit was $94. The comprehensive blood work was $235. I saw Dr. Hassel (sp?). He was very good.

Anastasia, the vet tech who was there to help us during our cat Moo's recent dental surgery, deserves a glowing review. From the moment we arrived at the clinic, her warmth and professionalism put us at ease. She patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions, alleviating any concerns we had about the procedure.Anastasia kept us updated on Moo's progress and made sure to follow up with us afterward, providing essential information on post-surgery care. Her communication and genuine concern for our pet's well-being were truly exceptional. Her dedication to her work and her compassionate approach made a challenging situation much more manageable for us.We can't thank her enough for the care she provided to Moo and the peace of mind she gave us. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine kindness make her an invaluable asset to the clinic. We are grateful for her outstanding service and support during this time. Thank you, Anastasia!

I found this place looking for a vet accepting new patients as my vet retired during COVID. Nice facility with convenient parking. Staff seems friendly and the doctor knowledgeable. They have an online portal for convenience. Not the cheapest place ($90 nonrefundable deposit for exams when you make the appointment and i have 2 fur babies), but hopefully with the rise in popularity of pet insurance, some costs can be absorbed. All in all, a good experience.

This place has really gone downhill. They quoted me a price to get a blood pressure reading on my dog. I made an appointment and at check out, the price mysteriously went up over 40% and they really couldn't explain why. I understand some things are estimates but it's literally reading a BP machine, and this happens every single time I go. It's always a bait and switch on the costs. And then to top it off, they refused to tell me his BP reading before I left. They said the Dr would call me when she had a break because techs can't tell me the number on a machine for some reason but the doctor didn't call. When I called back late in the day to try and get the results, the receptionist was rather short with me and not very empathetic that my dog's whole surgery schedule is dependent on the results of this test. So unfortunately after years of being a customer here, I will not be going back.
