Veterinarians near North Potomac, MD

“I frantically contacted Kentlands Veterinary Hospital when I needed urgent help with my dog. It was near closing and my own vet practice wouldn't stay late to see my dog. I called an emergency vet and they said there was an 8 hour wait. I called Kentlands vet and said I wasn't a client, but I desperately needed help. The doctor offered to stay late to see my dog even though I wasn't a client. She is clearly passionate about animals, placing their needs above her own. She was quickly able to diagnose the problem and literally saved me hours of waiting and hundreds of dollars at the emergency vet. I was so grateful for the excellent care and even more for the extreme kindness in our time of need. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place!”

“My dog recently injured her leg and everyone at Lake Forest Animal Hospital was so friendly, helping me to get her taken care of so she can walk again. She's a senior dog with Cushing's and they have been wonderful in helping us keep her regulated. Lake Forest was not the first vet we tried when we moved here, but they will be the last because there is no need to look elsewhere.”

“2026 Update: My Emotional Support Animal Niko got sick. He was in severe pain I couldn’t pick him up. They were fully booked with only Dr. Mustillo as the doctor. I was so distraught they were kind enough to take him in for the day and work on him between other kitties. They locate the cause and treated. I thought I was going to lose him the illness just came on so quickly. Pay attention to your cat’s litter box. If you notice them not go to the litter box or stop eating and drinking please get them seen ASAP. I can’t say enough about Vicki, one of the techs. She is always available to answer my questions and I have a lot. Thank you to the entire staff for saving my boy.

I just love this clinic. They only see cats and, as a cat dad obsessed with cats, I appreciate the specialization. Niko needed major dental surgery due to FORLs. I was so scared as he is my support animal for medical conditions I have; we are bonded at the hip. Dr. Kraut has been our vet for 10 years and she did his surgery. She reassured me throughout the day and even at 1 AM answered an email I had regarding post-op behavior I was worried about! The surgery was reasonably priced and they pulled out all the stops to help me. I’m truly saddened that Dr. Kraut will no longer be working at the practice as she moves closer to home. I do hope I can form a similar bond with a new doctor who will pick up where Dr. Kraut left off. The Vet Techs and front desk teams are amazing as well and answer all my questions as I help Niko heal.

Thank you to you all! Niko and I are so grateful to you! Thank you for your years of service, Dr. Kraut. Know you will be missed but we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Joe & Niko”

“We ve received continuing excellent care for our Boys over the years and we always feel the information we are provide is honest and truly with the best interest of our Dogs in mind.

Thanks Dr. Fitzpatrick and all the staff that have provided care!”

“The staff are always very sweet and helpful, when I had multiple things to carry they offered to help lessen the load !! They are also very knowledgable, and do their best to answer any questions I ask. They also always take great care of my lovely cats.

Minor update ?! I love this clinic so so much, they're always so so caring and attentive.”

“My reactive dog and I were met with kindness at every step of the way. Dr. Apryl and her team took their time, did no unnecessary poking or prodding, had an endless supply of treats and encouragement and resources.
We are very grateful to have found this practice!”

“Everyone here is so nice and helpful! They took excellent care of my dog and cat and offered great advice on a few issues! Dr. Madigan is wonderful! We feel fortunate for her help with them!”

“My boys love coming here and they always feel so much happier in an environment where it’s calm and quiet.

I will say the prices are over the top so it makes it harder for me to get them what they need.”

“We have taken our dog here for 12 years. Dr. Hollifield is very knowledgeable and caring. She and her staff take good care of all animals. We are thankful to have found such a good vet practice!”

“Forever Grateful. About 5 yr ago we rescued 3 week old kittens who had been brutalized by some kids. They were literally days from death. On our way back from where we collected them, I tried to find a vet who was willing to see them for very urgent care. My experience with the ER vet clinics in the DMV took them off the list as an option. I had never been to Liberty Falls and yet (after a lot of rejections by other vets) they told me to bring them in as soon as we could. The smallest and most damaged was too weak for the needed surgery but the vets scheduled the enucleation needed. These vets are so compassionate and it’s ALL about the animals. Still deeply grateful to them for saving all three. who are all loved and happy.”

“The staff and doctors show love and concern for their animal patients. The doctors take as much time as needed so you understand all your options for treating your pet. They do not push any treatment but make sure you understand the options available. I've been going to Great Falls now over 10 years now and they have helped me get through some very rough times with my pets. I travel from Falls Church to Great Falls because I trust them that much with the care of my pets.”

“Saying goodbye to our dog was one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through. The team at this clinic treated us with so much kindness, patience, and compassion during such a painful moment.

Two weeks later, we received a handwritten sympathy card from the doctors. It honestly meant more to us than I can explain. In a time when we were grieving, that small but thoughtful gesture reminded us that we weren’t alone — and that our dog truly mattered to them too.

Thank you for caring not just for our pet, but for us as well. We will always be grateful for the love and humanity you showed our family”

“Dr. Corrigan and her staff are always kind, caring and very knowledgeable about my older cat's problems. They're always very accommodating when I need them.”

“They may not be the cheapest place around, but the limited staff is the same staff that always sees your pup. So for someone like me that is at the vet at least 10 times a year they are great with her. They know her name, personality and now that they are letting owners back into the office with the pets I can truly see how much she loves them when she arrives.”

“Such a great vet experience! My dog is extremely anxious, and the staff were all so gentle and patient with her. Dr Jones himself was down on the floor with her while he did the examination, and let her hide under a chair while he checked her eyes and ears. She was so much more comfortable by the time the appointment was finished, and it was all thanks to the thoughtful and caring treatment of the staff. Great place!”

“I chose this clinic based on positive reviews. And It was the best choice, we had a wonderful experience at this clinic. Dr Reynolds is amazing! Thank you so much! Amazing staff with caring attitude to their clients.”

“We have had dogs our entire lives. This is the best practice we have ever used. Caring, knowledgeable, technically competent with m multiple disciplines. Friendly, pleasant and easy going. I love this practice for my pack !”

“I’ve been very happy with the service and care of my dog. It’s easy to get appointments the same day when my dog is sick . The doctor and office staff are courteous and take time to answer questions.”

“Very nice staff, very caring doctors and nurses. I appreciate their patience with us (parents) and with our loved pets <3. I also love the fact that I can use Cherry Financing if needed. Thanks for your great job!”

“We've been taking our 2 cats and 1 dog to Germantown for 5 years. They're amazing and easily the best veterinary clinic we've ever been to. We've recommended them to numerous friends, and will continue to do so every chance we get. Their vets and staff are knowledgeable and empathetic, they routinely make time for us whenever we've had an emergency, and their rates are absolutely reasonable.

Today we went through the process of putting our 17 year old dachshund to sleep. While in no way was that an experience I want to ever repeat, I cannot describe how wonderful everyone at Germantown was. I could go on and on about them, but the bottom line is that they care and are amazing at what they do, and my wife and I are just so glad they were there for us today just like they have been every day for the past half-decade.

If you're looking for a place to get care for your cat or dog, take them here. You won't regret it, and neither will your pet.”

“Neighborhood Veterinary Associates (NVA) has cared for my 6-year-old Boston Terrier since he was a puppy, and I can’t say enough good things about them. When he showed signs of an ear infection, I booked a next-day sick visit online with no hassle. They diagnosed it quickly and got him treated right away—he felt better fast. The team is kind, thorough, and never pushy. It’s obvious they genuinely know and care about their patients.”

“Falls Road Veterinary Hospital is EXTRAORDINARY! I do not live in Maryland. I spent several months in the area, and my elderly Shitzu needed vaccinations. They knew I lived in AZ and would not be a regular customer. Dr. Forbes was concerned about the size of my dog's nipples. I had asked my LA vet and my vet in Seattle about why they were enlarged. Dr. Forbes did not dismiss this condition. Dr. Forbes, who knew she probably wouldn't see my dog again, said this wasn't normal, and she wasn't satisfied not knowing what was happening. She wanted to research what this could be, and then she emailed me with three possible reasons. I am impressed. She truly cared about my dog. The front office team is pleasant, professional, and welcoming. I strongly recommend Falls Road Vet. I would give Dr. Forbes 10 stars if I could.”

“Woodley Gardens is an amazing clinic. I started service with them about a month ago based on a referral from a colleague. I like everything about them and their approach to vet care. Will is part of the reception staff and is always a pleasure to talk to. Nurse Brianna and Doctor Storm were personable, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about my dog's skin and allergy issues. Dr. Storm was thorough in his explanations about possible causes and gave me a comprehensive plan to follow. He didn't rush any aspect of the visit and addressed all of my concerns. In just a couple of weeks I've seen significant improvement in my dog's condition. Based on my interactions with the staff and Dr. Storm, it is clear that they genuinely care about the well being of their clients. I found pricing to be reasonable and there was no push to sell extra services or medicines--the focus is simply on quality care. I am grateful to have found a vet home for my dog and highly recommend them.”

“Have been coming to the Hospital for around 18 years. Have had nothing but the best of care. Dr. Adams and Dr. Nelson are exceptional diagnosticians , veterinarians and human beings. They take their time with my dogs, explain everything thoroughly. Couldn't be happier.”

“I've been bringing my two (now three) Rhodesian Ridgebacks here for several years. Our first visit was pretty dramatic - one of my pups went headfirst through a sliding glass door, and we came into the waiting room near closing time with a large bloody dog with a lot of lacerations.

Dr. Jason Scott provided excellent care for our pup, and has been our go to vet for the past 5+ years for all three of our dogs (as well as the many Ridgebacks I foster). His advice is solid, pragmatic, and compassionate. Highly recommended.”

“Overall, GAH has been absolutely incredible over the last decade I have been coming. Recently I had a sick kitty and they were able to get him in, treated and got him on his way to recovery. I could not be more thankful for them and everything they did!”

“I can’t describe how amazing this vet practice is. They have been my vet for over 10 yrs. The vets have changed since I started with this practice but the staff at LSAH has always been the best. The office manager, the front desk staff, and the techs. All amazing. So much so, that I stayed because of them. And the recent addition of Dr Walston has made me a forever customer. One of my dogs was very reactive and it would have been easy to label him difficult and annoying. But Dr. Walston approached him with such calmness and understanding, and the staff treated us with such kindness to make sure he got the care he needed with as little stress as possible. I trust them wholeheartedly with my pets.”

“Started taking our dog when I moved to the area 3 years ago and never had a bad experience: administrative staff was always courteous, space was always clean, medical staff was always knowledgeable. But nothing surpassed my expectations more then when the time came to help Rooney cross the Rainbow Bridge:
1) leaniancy in scheduling procedure - they allowed me to wait for the kids to come home from school
2) a comfortable private room to say goodbye - it wasn't just any available exam room, I sat on a couch and snuggled with him as we said our goodbyes
3) gentle explanations of his condition and options - when the doctor I spoke with in the morning wouldn't be available later in the day, she informed me of who would be assisting us and when it came time the new doctor was informed of our circumstances and kindly explained what would happen
They also provided the keepsake in my picture which is more than I have ever gotten from other providers with past pets. Not only that, but once I got the call saying the paw print was ready, I was allowed to come whenever I was ready to accept it so they kindly held onto it for a few weeks for me.
Thank you Nebel Street Animal Hospital your kindness was a gift.”

“I am a physician and I know a great health care provider when I meet one. Dr Horia Popa totally fits the bill there He is an expert clinician who is brilliant in all that he does. Has my complete trust!”
