Reviews of Chesapeake Veterinary Surgical Specialists (Veterinarian)

David Reamer

We brought our dog here requesting an MRI on her leg. She has been struggling to get up. My wife was talked into getting an MRI on her spine, which yielded no answer. They then told my wife that they wanted to do a second MRI on our dog's neck. The only thing we have received thus far is a bill for $3500. We received a report via email basically stating that the specialist can't find any problem with her spine or neck. My wife has tried to get this specialist to cal her back for a week now... Nothing. Besides the $3500 we are now left with wonder what to do next; clearly this place has no idea.... Maybe if they had done the MRI on our dog's leg as initially requested. I am clearly not impressed with this doctor; the front of the house seemed great and there may be other vets that know what they are doing or are willing to call you back.

Note they are now listed as "Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic" hence why this location is shown as "closed." Same location, same staff, same contact info.

My little dog was deathly ill with necrotizing pacreatitis, in acute pain. We were afraid that nothing would save him. Not only did the great internist, Dr. Paola, jump in with a quick ultrasound and confirm the diagnosis, but the fabulous Dr Burgess was able to not only get him through the surgery, but managed the tricky after care. They were kind, compassionate and very, very thorough. I cannot say enough good things about the place. Medicine is not an exact science... that is why it is called practice... good doctors are constantly learning. These guys stay right on top of everything. I know that to some, asking for payment up front is perceived that this place is all about money, but believe me, that cannot be further from the truth. With no government or institutional subsidies, CVRC is able to deliver the best in veterinary care.

Mid visit review..... So far so good! We needed an ortho consult for our 8 pound Chihuahua girl for patella luxation and cruciate repair. The surgeon was good to explain things to me at the consult, her diagnosis and surgical options. (We knew she NEEDED surgery so CVSS was one option for treatment.) This facility has more surgical options available than the first surgeon we consulted with. So although the price was a little higher than a family VET who has a orthopedist surgeon who works with them, the range of services available is larger here, which is why we chose CVSS. While we could have saved 10-15% at another facility, so far we are very happy with the personal care we & our Daisy are receiving! I will update after her stay has ended.....
