Reviews of Germantown Veterinary Clinic (Veterinarian)

Harriet Falchick

I have taken my dogs to this clinic since moving to Germantown, have been very satisfied with all the doctor's that have cared for all my dogs

Lori Bernstein

The doggie daycare and overnight snimal caretakers are the best!

This Veterinary Clinic Saved my dogs life on 10/30/18 at 6:00pm. Rudy was chocking on a bone and I rushed to this clinic and everyone was amazing. This whole situation was traumatic because it was unexpected and within minutes of returning home I noticed my canine was struggling to breathe on the floor as I returned home from work. Rudy has since made a full recovery and the staff even called me to inquire about his health days after the event. I am thankful for the amazing staff and Dr. Eastep for treating Rudy and I well. I would recommend their services to anyone without reservations.

Germantown Vets are great. I've used them for the last nine years and they are always caring, professional, and thoughtful. I would recomend them for your pets.

Mary Ellen Saunders

We've been clients for 12 years and although we live in Silver Spring, it's worth the drive for our pets to be Germantown Pets patients. We generally see Dr. Becky Rizol but all the doctors are wonderful. They LISTEN, they are patient and comfortable with our dogs and they dogs trust them and we do too. That's important. Their pricing is fair and transparent. We just wouldn't go anywhere else. We love this practice.

Heidi Poulson

As always, Germantown Vet is always professional, courteous and friendly. Maddie loves everyone there and we appreciate them so much!

Rose Acuff

This Clinic is A++++. From the time you walk in the door you and your pet are treated as family. The care and concern is exceptional. Very comfortable in the capable hands of the Vets.

Laurie Dorsey

The BEST Veterinary practice! They are caring, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Lian C.

Our 16 year old yorkie recently left us, he had been with the clinic since 4 month old. He received high quality care from Dr. Eastep and Dr. Tidd, they both are top-notch doctors with great compassion. All the technicians and front desk staff are friendly and helpful. I am glad we chose this place for our beloved dog.

Christieana Porter

My mom and I took our cat and dog there for many years! They were so compassionate when we lost both of them. I now take my own dog and cat there and couldn't be happier. Their staff are so sweet and knowledgeable. The practice is clean, organized, and very pretty! The techs are amazing! I have seen different vets at my appointments and I can honestly say that I love every one! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new vet! (:

Anita G

An excellent, full-service veterinary practice. Everyone is first-rate, from vets to techs to office staff...always friendly and helpful. They do a lot of lab tests in house so you get results quickly; vets often call personally to follow up on test results, and techs call to check on your beloved pet after treatment. They also have a very good wellness plan. I highly recommend them.

Es Dast

We use to live in Gaithersburg and now we moved 45 min away to Clarksville, yet we still take both of our dogs to Germantown Vet Clinic. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that they love all the animals that come in. Our dogs are jindo mix breed and can seem intimidating, but they have never used a muzzle on them or seemed afraid to take care of them. The doctors are also great. If we take them in for something serious, they personally call us the next day to see if our dogs are doing ok. They are a bit pricey but for the customer service and their knowledge, i dont mind.

Joe Antkowiak

Great service, but the new guy handling phone calls is really lost, full of incorrect information, and just about useless. Wastes my time on the phone and in person contradicting himself and being corrected by the doctors.

Jonathan Long

I've been brining my felines to the clinic for over a decade now. It was really just kismet that I happened to move me to Germantown temporarily and find a new veterinary practice. I'm eternally grateful for the care they've provided over the years. From treating an older cat with serious heart disease to keeping tabs on our three young Doll face Persians, the level of professionalism and knowledge is very impressive. Doctor Eastep is one of warmest most compassionate human beings I've ever met, and I wouldn't have them see anyone else. Believe me, this level of personal care is worth the short trip up I-270 to Father Hurley Blvd.

Vicki King

Great services, they work hard to get you in on short notice. I really like this practice.

Bailey May

So caring and very lovely! Usually take my ferret to see Dr. Tidd in Urbana, And was a little nervous to go all the way out to Germantown to their original clinic but I was not disappointed! I showed up about an hour early and all the techs and staff were awesome, and gave Boydie lots of attention! (Which he loves cause he is a ham!) by the time we saw Dr. Claire, early might I add, it was awesome! She was amazing! Very sweet and calming and gentle to my boy. Gave him ear meds and showed me how to administer them and everything. She asked I keep her updated and then actually called me two days later to check in. Exotic pets or cats and dogs, this place is fantastic!! Clean, friendly, and fairly priced!

Brigitte Pulliam

Bailey our terrier received excellent care as always. Everyone is friendly and attentive.

Brian Shenton

My family has been using Germantown Vet for many years now. I've since moved to Arlington, VA but this place and the people are so good that I go out of my way to continue bringing my dog here. I also use their boarding when I travel or vacation. A+ across the board in my eyes.

Karen Garner

Germantown Veterinary Clinic is amazing! Everyone there, from the front desk on back, is great to work with. My dog loves going there, too! Great customer/pet service and great bed side manners from all we encountered. This facility is very clean and smells good too! Keep up the good work!

Heather Ward

I have taken kittens and a cat to Germantown Veterinary Clinic. They have always provided excellent care and answered all of my questions. I especially like that they answer my questions without making me feel stupid or silly for asking small things or random questions. I would absolutely recommend them.

Amy Taylor

Germantown Veterinary Clinic is such a warm, professional and positive place to bring my dog! Each doctor, tech or front desk employee is always all about my dog! They not only treat him well, but they ensure that I am clear about what they are doing and why! Thanks for loving Thunder!

Jeff Sackrider

If you live anywhere near Germantown this is the clinic for you! Whenever we arrive for an appointment my dog is always enthusiastically greeted by name. The staff all seem to genuinely care for her well-being and I am completely comfortable with all of their work and suggestions. Do yourself a favor and take your dog here, you won't regret it!

Heather Bergman

The vets and staff genuinely care about the animals, and they are incredibly compassionate.

Lori Westcott

All the doctors and staff are wonderful and always super helpful with explaining things to me! Highly recommend!

icarla gonzales

Dino and I have been seeing Germantown Vet for over 4-5 years. I love their entire staff. Dino had to go due to an accident with another dog and he was very scared but everyone dealt with Dino in such an amazing way.

Bruce Main

We recently adopted a new shelter dog who came in from an abusive hoarding situation. He is a 12 ish year old pug with a few serious chronic medical issues. The issues and a treatment plan has been identified and put into place right away which should allow this little pug to enjoy a normal life span with vision and an ability to walk and have fun with our other 3 pugs and a yorkie. Germantown Vet is the best place to go for quality medical advice and treatment. I cannot think of a better place to visit. We will of course continue our business relationship with pleasure. Should anyone be in doubt, give them a try because one visit and you will understand why we feel they are as competent as they are.

Alexander Kolesnikov

Many thanks for prompt and professional treatment of our cats! Highly recommend this clinic to anyone. Arina and Alex.

Quentin Mabrey

We have 2 cats and have been using Germantown Vet for almost 20 years. The vets and techs are always great and very helpful. Cannot imagine going anywhere else

Sarah Patterson

Clean, neat, spacious waiting room and exam rooms - we have been several times and are always seen on time even if the office is very busy. Cost is the word on everyone's mind, and they are up-front about everything. No one tried to 'upsell' us or pressure us about anything, and the prices are reasonable (not to mention they have awesome monthly payment plans in place for wellness and dental). The Vet (shout out to Dr. Rizol!), Techs, and office staff are friendly, polite, and professional, and always patiently answer all our questions - we never feel rushed. Our big dog just had a great weekend stay in the kennels, and we will definitely be back for all our vet and kennel needs! The VitusVet app is a GREAT tool, too!

Paul Steiner

The vets are great. They are excellent at problem solving with the symptoms of your dog or cat, including behavior problems. Their facilities and medical equipment are the best, including the boarding for cats and dogs. The entire staff knows our pet's names and how to handle them if they anxious. For 25 years we have given our pets the best care possible.

Jen S.

Love this place and their amazing staff. My dog, if possible, loves it even more. He gets spoiled with lots of treats and kisses every time we visit!

Joseph Schumaker

I brought my Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Fern, in for a yearly health checkup. And it turned out not to be a totally routine visit. But first, what has impressed me the most about GVC is the enthusiasm and kindness of the staff, from the front end and check out folks, to the technicians, and the doctors. They seem to deeply enjoy both people and the animals for which they care. While Fern received all "A"s for her health visit, she began to display some issues about 3 hours after the visit. I was instructed to bring her back ASAP, which I did of course, (she is our "fur-baby" after all). While she has never displayed a negative reaction to her shots before, this time she did. We were seen almost immediately and with great concern for Fern. After a careful examination, we were provided with the appropriate pain/anti-inflammatory medication. And I please to say within hours Fern was feeling better and is now back to her loving, active self. The true test of quality service is not when everything goes perfectly, but when this go slightly awry. The people at Germantown Veterinary Clinic met and surpassed my expectations, providing great care of my four legged family member. Thank you.

Helen Webster

Our dog Lucky Luc has been a patient here since he was two months old. From baths to visits to boarding, I can't praise this practice enough!

Stephanie Boyles Griffin

We moved to the D.C. metro area about four years ago with our two, older dogs and finding a reputable veterinary practice was a high priority for us. We asked friends and coworkers and everyone referred us to Germantown Veterinary Clinic and I'm so glad they did! The staff are knowledgeable and professional and always treated our girls as if they were one of their own. I would strongly recommend Germantown Veterinary Clinic to anyone looking for a veterinarian in the Montgomery County area and beyond.

Angela Wimer

I’m charged for a vet visit every time for my puppy. That’s fine, but the rudeness of Dr. Croen was unnecessary. I don’t care that my pup isn’t a pure bred - I just wanted to know what to expect as far as his size. She was rude and dismissive. I really like Dr. Estep who was warm and caring with our last dog’s passing. She deserves 5 stars for her caring manner. Unfortunately, this visit is making me switch vets. No one wants to be talked down to for asking simple questions.

Teto A

Great service. The technician and doctor are very friend and they truly seem to love pets ! The service provided by all staff members was great all around.

Alice Kroliczak

I have been taking my cats for care to the Germantown Veterinary Clinic since 1986, when it was a small business next to the Germantown Marc train station. I cannot imagine a better place for cat care. The veterinarians and staff assistants have always provided wonderful care and have also been extremely patient and caring with me when it was time for my cats to pass on. Best veterinary care in the local area!

Mary Mills

I had to take my dog Tank in unexpectedly for a broken toenail. I was able to be seen that day. He is sometimes reactive with other dogs, and they accommodated us by taking us directly into an examination room. All staff was professional in every aspect. I received a follow-up phone call to see how he was doing. Very happy with services provided.

Thomas Kemp

Outstanding service by very professional people. We would not trust our dog Mandy to anyone else. She has been going there since she was an eight week old puppy. If you are looking for a vet stop looking. Germantown Veterinary Clinic is outstanding in every way. Lucy Tidd and her entire staff are very caring people. They are well worth driving the extra mile to have your pet cared for by the very best.

Suanne Repine

Dr Robin and her assistant were awesome! Tucker says he is feeling better!

Danielle Wald

I live in Silver Spring, MD but will drive for the service here. The vets and staff are extremely competent and kind. Plus, their prices are way more reasonable and they don't try to sell you a million products and tests like Banfield does.

Jennifer Swistak

Germantown Vet is top notch - 5 stars! I've been to other facilities, changed to Germantown Vet on a recommendation and couldn't be more happy and satisfied. Kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable staff - from the vets to the front desk support. They also have a wonderful dog trainer on staff who I can't say enough positive things about. This place goes the extra mile.

Paul French

Always so kind and they show great care to my pets!

Benjamin Chapman

Took great care of our cat, fast and courteous.

Allison Lea

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, reasonable fees, and great care!

Leslie Baetsen

I brought my elderly cat in for what I perceived to be dental problems as she was not eating. We frequently use this business to board our outdoor cat when we are away. (we have 4 cats) and we have had such terrific service with them we decided to change vets. I don't regret it. From the terrific courteous people at the desk to the brilliant vets, we had a wonderful experience. My cat had extensive dental infection that required dental surgery. Cost was reasonable, vet personable and took the time to explain every detail of x-rays and instructions for meds.

Robin Confino

Dr. Rozol, the reception staff, the vet techs are all top notch. My experience with the other docs in this group practice have all been extremely positive. Everyone has been professional, warm towards me and my dog and followed up with me as needed. I have had dogs my whole life and this veterinary practice is the best.

Denise Houle

Our cat received excellent care from Dr. Eastep. She is very gentle and kind with animals and helped calm my cat who gets very nervous at the vet. She provided a thorough exam and explained any and all questions we had. She called to follow-up with lab results and see how our cat was doing. We highly recommend Dr. Eastep.

Sin Citie

If I could, I would give this place a zero. Very friendly on the surface, while recommending services, requirements, and procedures that are not necessary.

Doreen Raia

Had a wonderful experience with my dog Buddy at the Germantown Vet Clinic. He is 14+ years old, and needed his yearly shots updated - they were able to see that next day, and no wait time when we got there. The vet and tech assistant really seemed to enjoy their work, and Buddy left a very happy camper! Highly recommend them...

Alison M

I bring my dog for routine checkups but most recently took her in because she was having some pain. I called at 5:30pm and they were able to see my pup an HOUR later at 6:30pm (which was especially nice considering they close at 7pm and I always feel bad going somewhere right before they close & holding people up from going home). Everyone is SO genuine & truly do care about the animals. The prices seem to be reasonable (I don't have much experience to be able to compare). They explain everything they are doing and will tell you about pricing BEFORE they do anything and make sure you approve. No question this is the place to go if you need a Vet in the Germantown area.

Jim O'Sullivan

They've been the one and only place we've taken our lab, Chloe, since we rescued her almost four years ago. The vets and staff all take the time to know the pets. And it's great seeing that most of the staff will remember the pets (even if they don't remember you) when you return for boarding or appointments. You will pay slightly more for veterinary care here over the vet shops they like to place in strip malls, attached to a Petsmart, and such, but we felt anytime a privately-owned clinic provides much more attentive care for a pet. Well worth the little extra money. The resort portion is wonderful. I cannot speak for cat boarding, but the runs for dogs are spacious. I do recommend paying a little more each day for extra playtime though, if you have a larger dog that is more active, like our lab. We've boarded our dog for quick overnights and up to a three-week stay when we had our wedding and honeymoon and have had no issue. I also recommend taking advantage of the midweek specials if you want to get your dog a bath and a blowout. Worth the savings. Cannot recommend Germantown Vet enough if you have a pet that needs care or boarding.

Stephanie Addabbo

The staff at Germantown vet are always super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I'm always to get an appointment either the same day, or when I request. They always take great care of my cats and don't recommend unnecessary procedures or treatments. Truly a great office!

ardleckna

Very professional and care deeply about our pets

Christopher Wendling

Great staff from the receptionists, vet techs, vets and cashiers. Most comprehensive team that I have every seen at any vet clinic. One stop shop for many services. A little pricy but never a complaint, ever.

Lo Strickfaden

We've been taking our pets to Germantown Vet for years. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the practitioners are compassionate, and great at making sure all of your questions are answered and your pets are healthy and everything's taken care of--we've never felt rushed out the door, or like our questions aren't really being answered. We love their health care plan for our pets! It makes all of our cats' regular medical expenses (from checkups and vaccines to heartworm protection) easier for us to pay for, and if our cats get sick, we know it's less likely to be an out-of-the-blue, huge expense. Most importantly, it makes it easier and more affordable to keep them healthy and happy in the first place!

Colleen Ruby

We are relatively new to the area and needed to find a vet as good as the one we left. Germantown Veterinary Clinic is just as good as our old vet if not better. Every single member of the staff is friendly and welcomes us by name every time we come in. Our two Boston Terriers love it there.

mary sporer

The people are the nicest and very compassionate about animals. Dr Eastep is my favorite( but everyone is great) Most recently she helped us with our cats cancer diagnosis and created a peacefull passing. Can’t say enough good things about this practice! Mary Rogers

Chase Bricks

I wish they would answer the phone.

Nancy Abrams

I have been going to Germantown Vet for the last 7 years for my two cats. One unfortunately passed away 2 years ago, and the other passed away last week. The service that we received from Germantown Vet has always been amazing. The people there are knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. I don't know when I'll get another pet (or if I will)... however I know that I'll be going back to Germantown Vet if I do. I can't give them as many stars as they deserve.

William Hagen

I've been taking my dogs to Germantown Veterinary Clinic for almost 30 years. The doctors and staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, and friendly. My Golden Retrievers have always been glad to go there because they know they are going to get plenty of love and attention.

Shannon Maloney

Everyone at GVC is overwhelmingly nice to our sweet pup. It really is amazing and she loves going in every single time!

Judilei Hernandez

Thank you for your service from start to finish this is my second dog. He turns out to be blind the gentleness you guys gave him and understanding you showed me was so amazing. I thank you for caring and loving what your practice does. I have sent 3 referrals and I recommend you to everyone. From the checkin to the checkout you guys rock. Thanks again Germantown Veterinary Clinic.

Rosa Clark

I have used the services for the past 10+ years and have only great things to say about all the staff who are professional, caring and committed to what they do. They love the pets! P.S. I would like to commend the individual who is responsible for staff selection, training and orientation. You do a fantastic job, because I watch the staff interact with other clients, and they all treat everyone quite well. Great place to take your pets for boarding and medical care. Love them all.

Stephen Foster

Absolutely great vet support for fifteen years and counting. One dog, four cats and they even helped our hamster! Whether it be the doctor, tech, finance or reception team, all are absolutely wonderful. Particularly so when that unfortunate time comes when you lose a family pet to age or illness. They are really understanding and compassionate!

Chris Ohlandt

Germantown Vet has cared for our dogs for over 13 years. The staff is always amazing and the doctors are excellent. Whenever we walk in, our dog is greeted by name and with a friendly smile (think Norm walking in to Cheers). In addition to exceptional medical care, we have been very happy with their boarding services and with their puppy training class. Dr. Tidd, Dr. Eastep, Paula, and everyone else at Germantown Vet are top notch and we would not think of taking our dog anywhere else.

Mike Lynch

Love coming here! A very friendly and competent staff!

Karen Tyson

I have been coming to this vet for many years! They are the best. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain procedures and give you an estimate of the cost beforehand. I live in Silver Spring now and still come here because they are so wonderful.

Diane Stormer

Our Ernie dog, who has moderate separation anxiety, stayed for his first overnight boarding, and he did fantastic! The following day, when I picked him up, he wasn't even "clingy". Ernie has come here for all of his healthcare since I got him. He completed basic puppy training with Paula, and more recently, has stayed for a few hours every couple of weeks or so in doggy daycare, with the hopes that this would help him cope with staying overnight at some point in the future. I can't express what a joy it is to know that he have a "sleepover" without a total meltdown, and would like to say a special thanks to Mary and Deanna who were his main caregivers during his stay!

Janet Brow

Been linked to Germantown Veterinary Clinic by several sweet cats over many years. My current rescued baby, Tabbi, who is now a senior, as am I, gets great care and attention there, as do I. So, I highly recommend them.

Wendy McDermott

I first used Germantown Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Tidd, several months after we first moved to Maryland in 1997. I had a very sweet little rescue (Z) that suddenly became sick, before I had the opportunity to establish our dogs with a vet. So, I took my chances at the vet around the corner. It turned out Z had a life-threatening illness. Ultimately Dr. Tidd was able to diagnose and treat her, saving her life. I really cannot express the level of kindness and professionalism that has been shown to our family over the years. I can say that any pet that your family loves could not receive better care anywhere else.

Nancy Malloy

I live an hour away, but was impressed with this practice the first time I came to have my dog's teeth cleaned. I came this time because my local vet was unable to "squeeze us in" unless we declared an emergency (in which case, they would see the dog but charge more money). I really like this practice-they seem to really like dogs, and always treat me as an equal. The vet tech, Allison, was particularly impressive, and our vet was great, too. We were seen promptly, and the actual cost was less than what I normally have to pay. I highly recommend this veterinary practice.

Kathleen Petty

My husband and I just brought home a new puppy and needed a vet in the area. I am so grateful that I found Germantown Veterinary Clinic! Every single person I have interacted with has been warm, friendly and eager to help/answer all of my questions as a new puppy parent. I have emailed with them, called them and been in for a wellness exam and every interaction has been such a pleasant experience. I seriously have never had such a positive experience with any business or organization.

Tim Ulman

I've been an anilmal lover my entire life. My Mum used to tell me that I've loved animals since before I knew why. I'm 62 now and I've worked with more veterinarians than I can remember. Dr. Gryskiewicz (Dr. Robin) is by far, the best of them all. She is truly kind and compassionate and she takes great care of Brutus. He's an eleven and a half year old Rottweiler which is roughly the equivalent of a ninety year old human. He's outlived his entire litter of seven pups by over two years! That is a direct result of the care that he has received from Dr. Robin and the rest of the family at GTV. They've kept my best friend going, well beyond his expected lifetime. I love them all for it.

Stacey Lillis Heintze

Great vet. Always responsive and caring. We’ve had wonderful care for our dogs and cat. Great hours and always able to get an appointment. Follow up is excellent.

Nicole Giganti

Everyone at Germantown Vet has been a pleasure to work with! We have 2 dogs, and one of our dogs has some behavioral issues. The staff at Germantown Vet has been nothing short of wonderful when it comes to handling his delicate behavior. I would recommend them a million times over. They truly are the best and they care for their patients like they were their own pets!

Berri

A bit expensive but everyone was super nice.

Jenny S

Wow! never in my life was, I made to feel so stupid when asking questions. When I told her I didn't understand what was going on she talked to me like I was a 2 year old. Then when time to pay me bill Paula checked me out and asked me if I'd like my paperwork which she then indicated that I could hand the paperwork right to my new vet. Amazing.

Katherine Orloff

Continuing care for my aging Polish Lowland Sheepdog is truly excellent. I am especially grateful for the care they give her when she boards there. I can (reluctantly) go out of town and know she is in great hands. The staff is always helpful and supportive and the vets are all terrific.

Susan Surace

I was able to get a same day visit when I called for a checkup for my cat. The advice I received and the care that was given to my cat was great. Upon checkout, the staff was incredibly kind and generous to my two sons making them both quite happy. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone I know in need of pet care!

Betty Faulkner

This 30-year client couldn't be happier with the attention my dogs and I have received from GVC. Absolutely first class all the way.

Ofelia Ansari

The staff and doctors in this clinic are wonderful people and caring! Thank you for providing a great care/service to my pets!

Betty Carpenter

Germantown Vet was the third vet we have used once we adopted our two dogs two and three years ago). The first vet always kept us waiting for a long time in the waiting room, even for the first appointment of the day, and when we knew the vet was there and had no other patients. Germantown Vet is very punctual! The second vet's office was small and the dogs were nervous when we went in. I was so pleased with Germantown Vet, that I have used them ever that first appointment. They are so pleasant to deal with and our dogs love going there. There is no fear from them when we pull up in front. The facility is very large, open and clean, and they are gentle with the animals. They are also more than willing to offer advice over the phone, if your issue does not warrant a trip to the vet. I consider finding them a bonus for us and our furry family members!

Jeremy McBride

They have been taking care of our dog for the last three years. The techs, front desk staff, and doctors are all very friendly. The doctors are knowledgable and helpful. The facility is clean and same day appointments were common. They even carved out time to see our dog when he was very sick. We are moving out of town, and hope our new vet team is as friendly, capable, and helpful as they have been.

Laura Martinez

Not only do they care so much about your fur babies they take care to charge you only for tests/meds you need. They use what tests will give them the most information, instead of 2-3 tests 1 may help them enough. They are all warm and caring people, while being total professionals!!!

Erich Y

I've been bringing my dogs here for about three years, and I have been very pleased with everything. The staff is consistently nice and professional, it's always been easy to make an appointment when something unexpected happens, and their prices are very reasonable. One of the things that I like the most is that the veterinarians take the time to explain things like test results, so that the average person can understand them and they aren't just a bunch of numbers and acronyms thrown around without any context. They also offer boarding services, which has been a huge help for me because there aren't many decent options in this area. On a personal note, we had to euthanize one of our dogs about two years ago, and the staff could not have been more kind and considerate during that process. They went to great lengths to ensure that everything went smoothly, and they never rushed us or tried to hurry the process along. They let us have all the time that we needed to say goodbye, and it really helped. I do not think that I could recommend them highly enough.

Justin Drew

I took my two cats here in an emergency on the same day, and this clinic in my opinion is top notch! They took wonderful care of my cats and me while we were there and followed up with us after the appointment to make sure our cats were doing alright. We were extremely grateful that they accommodated us on such short notice. I had been taking my cats to a place further away but now that we know what excellent service these people provide we will be using them!

Samantha Krauss-Franklin

Everyone, from the ladies at the front desk to the vet techs and doctors, are fabulous! They took wonderful care of my very sick cat (who is now better thanks to their help). The biggest plus is the facility is the cleanest Veterinary Hospital I have ever been to. Definitely the only place I will take my cat to. Thank you all so much for taking care of Poo so well!

Alon

Disgusting place, they charged me fees for my dead dog. Now I have to deal with a collections issue because I refused to pay the fees rendered. WHAT A DISHONEST AND MONEY-HUNGRY PLACE. SHAME ON THEM.

Mary Pacey

I receive emails from the clinic frequently and I might have missed it but I think you should be told in advance if you will be seeing a new doctor. I understand doctors will change in the practice but I would like to know that in advance. It should be announced in their email or at least be advised of the new doctor when making the appointment.

Christina B

We moved to Gaithersburg, and were recommend to take our dog here for her annual shots. The first thing the vet tech talked about was their Wellness Plan. Seemed a bit 'salesy,' but I've been in the sales industry before, so the plan made sense to me. It's worth getting if you don't/ can't afford to pay for everything out of pocket. Her annual shots would have cost well over $350, but this only cost us $80 (enrollment fee, if I remember correctly). We had to come back in 3 weeks for her remaining get booster and rabies shots. Our 2nd visit seemed to be a bit frustrating as that vet tech didn't seem to know what we were there for and which shots needed to be administered. When he clicked around on the screen, he seemed to be able to pull last visit/ records, but still unsure. Our 2nd visit seemed to be more stressful to our pup as they (tech and dr) were more rushed than patient with her. My dog never behaved this scared at the doctors, and we've been to 3 in the past 2 years. I'm aware of the number of animals you see every day, but she is the only one I see daily. Take the time to listen to the owners when they tell you to how to handle their furry loved ones. I will be back again as I'm locked into the wellness plan, but hope everyone will be less rushed. Animals sense our energy, too.

Rick Legaspi

Great staff; very friendly and knowledgeable. The location is clean and well maintained. I've been coming here for years. My dog is much happier with the allergy treatments I've been getting from here. I would recommend this location to friends.

Patricia Hood

I give Germantown Veterinary Clinic 5+ stars!!!! My dog and cats have been Germantown Veterinary Clinic patients for approximately 12 years. I can honestly say that the professionalism, kindness and friendliness of the staff are superb. Every visit to the Clinic (whether "regular" or "sick") has been positive. I"ve always come away knowing that our animals are receiving top notch care. During this period we had to make the decision to have two of our kitties euthanized. In both cases staff provided loving care (to both kitties and humans). We were allowed to remain with the kitties before, during the entire procedure as well as afterwards taking the time we needed to say our goodbyes (for now). Thank you Germantown Veterinary Clinic!!!! (If I have one complaint it is that Paula no longer works full-time. I have missed her).

I adopted my cat, Strudel, one year ago. This was her first visit to a vet (other than being spayed). The tech, Elvis, prepared her and he was gentle and caring. I have seen techs at other Veterinary clinics that I was ready to beat up because they had terrible attitudes and had absolutely no business being anywhere NEAR an animal. Elvis got Strudel as calm as humanly possible before the doctor came in. She was also caring and gentle. Strudel behaved admirably during the visit (because she had no place to run to), took her shot like a trooper, and didn't make a sound on the way home. She was mad at me for about a month. I am so grateful for Vet clinics like the Germantown Veterinary Clinic.

Everyone at Germantown Vet has always been super friendly/considerate whenever I have interacted with them. They are flexible with my appointment times, which is helpful considering I work later in the evening. And most importantly, they take wonderful care of my kitten whenever he is at their facility - whether it be for a routine visit, surgery, or weekend boarding. Couldn't imagine liking a veterinary office any more!

all was about money and find a way to charge me more, from $300 dental cleaning to $1500 and from simple office visit of $56 to $ 500 it does say a lot about this place!!!!!

I am very disappointed on how they run things in there establishment. My girlfriend’s dog has had something going on with her leg and before they ran tests on it, they told her prior that it was 50% benign or 50% malignant, and that’s why she was even getting the test in the first place, so a week goes by and they get the results and literally the only thing it says it could either be 50% cancerous or not. I don’t know why they would tell her the same thing they told her already??? If you want actual results go somewhere else that doctors will actually give them. Usually I don’t do this, but this is deciding if her dog has cancer or not, you can tell that they don’t care about your dogs well being and only care about the money.

I came to this vet recently after going to another one in the Montgomery area , I am originally from PA and only moved to Germantown 6 months ago. I had a WONDERFUL vet in PA and was having trouble finding another here in MD that I really liked and felt comfortable with. I was disappointed in my first choice after moving here and decided to try Germantown Vet Clinic due to their positive ratings on Google... I am not at all disappointed and so very glad I switched to this vet!!! The office is well kept and the staff is delightful! I also LOVED Dr. Ted and finally feel like my dog (who has diabetes) is well taken care of ! Even my dog is more comfortable at this vet! I receive follow up calls and the staff and veterinarians seem to not just be extremely knowledgeable but also actually care ! Those qualities are a must for me and my special needs dog! I would recommend this vet clinic to anyone and am so very pleased to have them caring for my fur baby ! :) Thank you Germantown Veterinary Clinic !

Everyone is always happy, friendly, and excited to see us. It's always a pleasant experience. Thank you.

Money hungry.

Katherine Candland

BEST VET EVER! So incredibly sweet and professional. Exactly where I want my pet taken care of!!

Jason Long

Very comfortable experience for pet, daughter and myself. Knowledgeable staff and vets who answered all my questions and gave me multiple options for continued care for pet and how to save money along the way. Not pushy on what they recommend for treatment, vaccines and care.

Joy Sommers

I have been using the same veterinarian since 1990 when we lived in North Potomac. I now live in Germantown and I still take my pets to Dr. Dan Berbert at Gaithersburg Animal Hospital. I have one very fearful dog rescued from a high kill shelter after he had been hit by a car. Taking him in the car proved so stressful for him that I began using a mobile vet just for him. This became expensive and inconvenient for me, so I looked for a vet close to me to reduce Marley’s stress which always resulted in panting, excessive drooling, diarrhea and vomiting. My research led me to Germantown Veterinary Clinic. They did not disappoint. I was very impressed with every aspect of this animal hospital, beginning with the staff, the hospital itself, and the care given to Marley. I’m happy to have found a place where I can take Marley and feel comfortable knowing he is getting excellent care without the stress of a long car ride. The many recommendations I received about Germantown Veterinary Clinic were spot on. Even Dr. Dan, who has taken care of my pets for almost 30 years, recommended Germantown Veterinary Clinic as a place Marley would get excellent care without suffering the stress of a long car ride. I am so relieved that Germantown Veterinary Clinic lived up to the many glowing reviews they received on Nextdoor.

Judy Yu

We have four dogs and recently decided to find a new more reasonably priced vet. Based on reviews we decided to try Germantown vet. They provided the two dogs needing their teeth cleaned a complimentary evaluation and quote. We were impressed with the tech. and the doc. we decided to use them. They took such good care of our babies. The tech. and vet both took time to review what was done and what we needed to do during the recovery period. Price was good, procedures went well and everyone was very pleasant. I will add during our checkout, we overheard a staffer on the phone with a client who apparently has an ailing pet, she was so very compassionate with the caller it brought tears to my eyes. We will definitely return. Thank you Germantown vet.

Sam Rimbey

Germantown Veterinary Clinic is a wonderful place! I started bringing my cat here last November when we moved to Germantown. I chose the clinic because it was close to my apartment and it has good reviews. Well I am so happy I started! As soon as you walk in the door they are super friendly. Even just calling they help you as much as they can. The doctors are exceptional and always call back. They have helped me through some silly, but stressful situations as a pet parent. They helped give a diagnosis for our cat and gave us ways to limit her discomfort. I would recommend Germantown Veterinary Clinic to any pet family!

Renee Parks

We have been going to this veterinary clinic since 2003with all our many pets. On a recent visit with my dog due to an earache. We discussed what to do with a very large lipoma. After talking about how it was effectIng her daily life We decided to do surgery. The Vet helped put me at ease about making this important decision. Fast forward to day of surgery. All went amazingly well. Because of the care my dog recevied by all staff involved.....receptionist, techs, and Vet my dog is doing very well. I would highly recommend this Veterinary Clinic to anyone who has four-legged fur children/family members!!! They treat them with tender loving care!!!!

Elaine Smith

I have been going to Germantown Veterinary Clinic since my previous vet office closed. When I first walked into this clinic in search of new vets, I was greeted with the friendliest staff I have ever encountered. They made me feel welcome and gave me numerous brochures to read about the practice. Needless to say, I have been taking my pets to this practice since 2009/2010 and plan to stay. Over this period of time, I have had the opportunity to see all the vets; they are amazing!!! Their knowledge and compassion go way above and beyond. The technicians and other staff are extremely receptive and customer-oriented. Thank you, Germantown Veterinary Clinic. l am grateful for having found this practice.

Jenny Atkins

I live right down the street from Germantown Vet and used them a few times for emergencies when I couldn't get in to see my regular vet. I was so impressed with all of the staff, the follow up, and how quickly I could get in if I needed to see someone that I left my old vet of 10+ years and now bring both my cat and my dog exclusively to Germantown Vet. I love the fact that I can get in same day if it's something urgent. I also really like that the vets will try my pets on less costly and invasive remedies first and not just right to x-rays or expensive testing if they think it may be something more minor. 5 stars for Germantown Vet.

Kepi Bear

Germantown Vet in Germantown, MD, I can't say enough good things about them. The staff is great! They take the time to listen to you and your pet's needs. They are very patient with explaining things and really take the time to come up with solutions, rather than leaving you on your own to figure out the next step.

Mary Ann Jasper

Wonderful vets and caring staff! Intelligent, knowledgeable and compassionate, they are so devoted to their work. We were fortunate to have Dr. Rachael and Dr. Robin care for our senior dog Cinnamon. They always took the time to explain his health conditions and treatment options, and were very supportive when it was time to let our dear boy go. We are getting a puppy in a few weeks and look forward to taking her in for her first visit!

SEAN Hayes

Excellent staff!!!! Always service with a smile. My dog "Remmy" loves it.

joe maroney

They handle all of my pets needs. They're very professional, clean & have wonderful hospitality but they are pricey. In the long run definitely worth it.

Jen O' Boyle

Took my large, friendly (but a bit of a coward) cat to Germantown Veterinary Clinic for the first time, just for a check up. Staff was very friendly and competent, and handled my cat with ease. He was good for blood work, and didn't even notice his shots. I was very happy with the care they showed us.

Jessica Walcott

Clean, professional and awesome staff. My dog is always scared of the vet, but she really loves the staff here. They're attentive and they don't push anything you don't need on you! I also board her here whenever we have to go away because she's already familiar w the staff. So happy to have found them.

Jing Zhou

Stay away from Germantown Veterinary Clinic. This place is highly overpriced. I got duplicate physical exams for my dog just in 2 months without informing me. I was forced to pay for unnecessary checkup, and they were very rude during the charge disagreement process. Later, with comparisons to other vets, not only unnecessary charges, I found that I over paid a lot.

Hair Sweater

Everyone is always friendly, polite and professional. The staff always makes me feel like they are as concerned with my Dogs health as I am.

lYNN mAYS

I absolutely love Germantown Vet. All the staff are wonderful. Shout out to my favorite Vet, Dr. Estep, who has been with me forever, good times and sad times. Thank you for everything, especially all your compassion. Teddy started Chemo yesterday. So sad but praying for a miracle.

Alexander Sukhenko

Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Wait time is very short. Doctors are very thorough.

A. Howell

We've been going to Germantown Vet. for decades. We love the staff, but our dogs love them even more (especially when we go away on a trip and board them). We always know they are in safe hands.

Lisa Henderson

Dr. Claire is the best vet I have ever been to! I had 4 dogs when I tried out her services at Gaithersburg Animal Hospital about 5 years ago. Then she made a move from Gaithersburg to Village Vet of Urbana and Germantown Veterinary Clinic. Even though the drive takes me even longer from Silver Spring, Dr. Claire makes it worth it! I know my dogs physical and mental health have always been a top priority for her. I am a dog trainer, and in my opinion, mental health is equally as important as physical, so I appreciate vets who understand this. Also, with 4 senior dogs it was critical that I find a vet who was understanding of the fact that I just wanted to focus on their quality of life as they age, so that their last years of life would be happy/comfortable. Dr. Claire allowed me to do that. I just had to put down two of my dogs in 2 months. When I put down my Bulldog, Dr. Claire was unavailable so I had to go to another vet at Germantown Veterinary clinic (dont remember her name). My experience with the front desk staff was very good. They were kind and brought me right back into a room when I got there. But the vet and the vet tech were not the warmest people during such an emotional time. I get that my dog wasn't a normal patient of theirs but even so, I feel like the warmest, kindest people should be doing euthanasia. I have also been in the animal care industry for long enough to know that some animal people aren't people people, you know what I am saying?! But, with that said, I stand by my above statement= warm people should be doing and assisting with euthanasia, for the dogs sake and for their guardians! The vet was also going to euthanize my dog when she wasn't even fully asleep. The tech said that most dogs don't completely fall asleep. Thats not my experience (years of shelter work assisting in euthanasia), but okay. Then the vet seemed slightly annoyed when I mentioned it to her. She said that I told her I wanted to get it done quickly, which is true, but not because I was in a rush, I just knew it was time so I didn't need any time to think about my decision and I just wanted my dog to be asleep as quickly as possible. She gave me two options, give the medicine more time or give her more to put her in a deep sleep. I decided to wait and eventually the medication did kick in and she fell asleep. Then after some prodding with a needle the vet found a vein and it was done. It wasn't the worst euthanasia experience I have had but it was nowhere near the best either. Gave this place 3 stars for Dr. Claire and the staff that I have met in the past who have been nice.

We have been customers of Germantown Veterinary Clinic for many years. All of our little ones, 4 pugs and 3 cats are patients. We have always been pleased with our experience but now have a heart rendering story to tell of why everyone should be a client. Recently one of our Pug Dogs, 4 year old Bear, suffered a potentially fatal condition, a complete bowel obstruction. Due to Germantown Veterinary Clinic's skillful diagnosticians and advanced facilities and a very professional staff this bowel obstruction was correctly and quickly diagnosed and successfully treated surgically the same day. This surgery was not routine. The object caused damage to Bears small intestine and required an 8" resection of his small intestines. Due to the damage there was significant risk of a failed resection and infection (which would quite likely be fatal) caused by the object which appears to be part of a play toy. Incidentally, we have no idea where the toy came from. Its unrecognizable to us. Fortunately Bear recovered uneventfully and a week later is about 99% back to normal. Had it not been for the skill of Bear's Surgeon Dr. Tidd and her equally professional staff Bear might not be here today. We will forever be clients of Germantown Veterinary Clinic. Be sure you carry pet insurance, it removes the worry of payment for such lifesaving surgery as well at a time you do not need additional challenges. We cannot express enough our total confidence in the People and facilities of Germantown Veterinary Clinic. We are lifetime clients.

Heather Light

Germantown vet clinic went above and beyond when my dog was sick! I am very grateful!

Diane Mentzer

Fantastic service with skilled and caring technicians and doctors. I feel safe knowing my cats are in their care.

Lynn Carlson

Very caring staff. They are so accomodating, helpful and kind! Five stars!!

Tonya Michalik

My 17 yr was told her visit would be $35 for her hamster. Was charged $57 plus $36 that was also "erroneously" added. I was not with her and I believe they took advantage of a naive, distraught young girl. I went in and got her reimbursed, but they would not have had I not called. Told them they should be ashamed.

A Richardson

Germantown Veterinary Clinic is the best in Montgomery County! I have been a client since 2001, and I would not consider taking my dogs anywhere else unless referred by GVC. The doctors (Dr. Eastep is our favorite go-to doc!), technicians, and other staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. The facility is state-of-the-art and the range of services offered are endless. I take comfort in knowing that my fur babies will always receive the best care at GVC, and I highly recommend them to others who are seeking the highest quality of health care available for their pets.

Jenni Emlet

Our one year old kitty Wilson had been experiencing ear problems for a few months and we had tried a few rounds of medication through another vet. With too much time and money spent (and no results) we decided to bring him to Germantown Vet Clinic. Not only did they help us wipe out the ear problems within two weeks but they also didn't charge us an arm and a leg. Prices are very reasonable, atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff are all very friendly. We highly recommend this vet!

Maria Oliva

Spacious clinic to accommodate my big dog, kind staff who help you with everything. Would recommend to anyone, even if you don’t have a cat or dog they see exotic pets too!

Marilyn Kramer

I have recently changed vets and could not be happier. They are professional, friendly and very supportive. The facility is spacious and is kept clean which is very important to me. Boarding is also available in the event that I would need to board my dogs.

Ruta Braz

The best vet clinic around! Everyone is wonderful and knowledgeable and you get the best care for your pet. I am actually postponing moving out from the area because of this clinic, probably I would drive even 2 hours each time anyway to get this excellent care!
