I called Yellow Springs last Friday morning after being in the ER the night before, Dr K called me back promptly and advised me to come in ASAP. Daisy was there all day, catheterized, given IV fluids and blood work, and diagnosed with pancreatitis. The entire staff stayed late, helped carry my 75 pound dog to my car, and Dr K called the vet at the hospital, sent records and helped navigate my dogs admission. They didn't do all of this for free, but they were efficient, compassionate and quick to help in my time of vet emergency. My sweet girl Daisy is now at home and doing great. Thank you to the entire staff for your help.

I will be loyal, just help me save this puppy. It is puppy, but they turned us away and so much higher with my themselves for a week and they walked them and paid them in all the fun stuff but they don't want to collect coin from us. That's good you put your faith in your humanity on the line for these people that really just wanna play with your animals or your life like who does that change to step up and take action? Guess what I can take pride of myself that I take action for my students because I'm a teacher and believe if you're kid is in my car or somebody's trying tosomething or another that you're not happy with it your child is not happy with.

I know that this is one Renon sentence, but I don't care. I just needed to get it out before it killed me.

I used their extension clinic in Thurmont for my cats annual exams/shots last year and was very…read morepleased with Dr. Stasty, but they can't keep animals overnight there, so when I recently had to board 2 cats with 'special circumstances', and this place was recommended to me, it seemed like the best option (I used to have a great pet sitter but this place prohibits their employees from that, or even recommending anyone, because they admitted it would cut down on their profits!), but it was a very unpleasant experience. I have a medical background myself (retired cardiac/critical care nurse) and left very explicit instructions, most of which were ignored, including which vet I wanted to examine them (same as last year) and what procedures I wanted done (which had been done last year w/o any issues.) I also told them I wouldn't be reachable if they had any questions (was in the hospital), and gave my cat rescue (knowledgeable) friend's contact information (who was with me and witnessed this whole process), but of course they never did. FYI, BTW, they feed all their borders a canned kidney diet, which is low protein and not always palatable or even suitable for diabetic cats (who need portion-controlled low-carb food); you can bring your own, but if they run out they don't go to the store to get more, which I was told they would (and would've been happy to reimburse them for.) Both cats have digestive issues and have gotten sick before from having their diet changed while boarding, but fortunately no problems when I got them home this time. I also don't care much for their location at the intersection of 2 very busy roads (and I saw them let one cat leave w/o a collar, leash, or carrier so if they had squirmed out of their Mom's arms, it would have been curtains- most places will lend you something you can return later), and getting in and out through the neighboring busy (new FMH cancer /office building) parking lot is like a maze and an accident waiting to happen, go VERY slow. Suffice it to say, I was so upset when I went to pick them up 3 days and $750 later (which wouldn't have been out of the question if they had received the proper care) I burst into tears in the waiting room. The vet who examined them, who I really disliked, had the nerve to say to me she didn't do 1 test I requested because she wasn't familiar with it and after looking it up didn't understand why I wanted it done (it is used to monitor heart failure), and didn't do another (for diabetes control) I requested because the receptionist had told her the wrong test. This was all almost a month ago and I am still beyond pissed off at the terrible service (I had to wait to leave this review until I calmed down), although I will probably continue to use the Thurmont office as long as Dr. Stasty is there (they rotate shifts), as the choices in this area are very limited and I also had a bad experience at another local vet, but I won't put them through a similar experience at this location again. One of my sweet boys was so happy to see me when I put him in the car that he danced around in circles in his carrier like a puppy!

We were referred to Dr. Nancy Powel from a farmer. This concept totally makes sense for someone who…read morehas a bunch of animals, pigs, lamb, cats, dogs, chickens.. The vet can come and check out all the animals at once, instead of bringing all the animals to the vet. Well, my husband and I decided to try her out for our dogs. This way they don't associate going for car rides and going to the vet. Currently, we have a 3 year old puggle and a 4 year old lab-mix. Both of them have done very well with Dr. Nancy and her team. She takes appointments Mon-Saturday I think. She's usually right on time, but keep in mind - this is a mobile business, so sometimes she's early/late pending traffic. But she's also coming to ME, so it's not like I have to pack them up and take them anywhere. The prices are about the same as taking my dogs to the vet. We also purchase our heart worm, tick/flea items through MD Mobile Vet. She's been a great resource. When my puggle got sick, I called her up and she helped me out over the phone. When I first got my puggle, he was a menace and a half. Turns out the bugger had a stomach bug. Dr. Nancy gave him a full work up, figured out what was wrong with him, and mailed up antibiotics ASAP. Couple of days later, the little guy was all fixed up and ready to play. We got the recommendation from a farmer. And we've recommended her to a couple other friends. She's great with the dogs, answers all my questions, and is very personable. We will continue to have our pups cared for by the MD Mobile Vet!

I watch my animals very closely -- I even have a camera pointed at their litter box -- and the first thing I told the vet, Dr. Castano, was that I suspected a UTI. He was hardly using the litter box, and he'd also urinated a large amount on a blanket, which is very unusual for him. Dr. Castano hardly documented any of what I told her, despite the fact that I explained I monitor my animals closely and know his patterns. She came out and told us the urinalysis was done and it was "fine," and that his abdomen was "fine" on palpation. We later learned neither was true -- her own notes said she couldn't get a urine sample and that his abdomen was tight, the opposite of what she told us in person. Instead of the UTI test I'd specifically requested, she pivoted to concern about a possible obstruction and recommended further testing and an overnight stay. We declined the overnight stay because of cost and because Zorro is a very anxious cat who does worse away from home and his mom. We dropped him off again at 9 AM the next morning for a scheduled sonogram. The sonographer, a traveling contractor, was on vacation and never showed. There were two failed attempts to find a replacement, with the cost rising roughly $300 with each call. By early afternoon, the front desk said they were trying to get him to eat, which meant the sonogram couldn't happen anyway, so we went to retrieve him. We then waited two hours in the waiting room before finally speaking with the practice owner, Dr. Walcoff. That's when I learned the urinalysis from the night before had never actually been performed. When I explained that the entire reason for the visit was a suspected UTI, Dr. Walcoff was able to obtain a small urine sample himself via ultrasound-guided cystocentesis -- the exact thing that could have been attempted, or at least honestly disclosed as not done, the night before. After waiting almost 3 hours since our arrival the result confirmed blood in his urine, consistent with a UTI. Zorro has been on antibiotics and doing fine since. When I raised this with the practice, I was met with defensiveness -- told it was a "miscommunication," that I must have misheard, or that Dr. Castano was simply more focused on the obstruction concern. I'm an elementary school teacher and my boyfriend is a police officer; we don't fabricate details like camera footage, water intake, or litter box habits. When an owner specifically asks for a test, and is told it was done and normal when it wasn't, that's not a miscommunication -- it's inaccurate documentation and false reassurance, and it delayed treatment for a real infection. I won't be returning, and I'd urge anyone considering this practice to ask to see actual results in writing before accepting a verbal summary.
