RecommendedHave used them for years and have always had a good if not great experience. People are kind and helpful. Only complaint is I wish I could get in sooner, but I understand.
Business response:
Trisha, thank you for sticking with us over the years and for taking the time to share this. Kindness and helpfulness are things we work hard to show every family who walks through our doors. We also appreciate your patience with the wait times. In emergency medicine things can move quickly behind the scenes, but we’re always working to care for each pet as quickly and thoughtfully as possible.
RecommendedWe had to rush our dog Potato to Dogs and Cats Emergency & Specialty in Bowie recently, and I can’t say enough good things about the team there. From the moment we arrived, everyone treated both us and our very sick dog with compassion, patience, and professionalism. The staff took our concerns seriously, moved quickly to evaluate him, and clearly explained what they were seeing and what the next steps might be. Even during a stressful situation, they made us feel supported and informed. Potato ultimately needed to be refe... read more
Business response:
Christa, thank you for sharing Potato’s story with us. Moments like this are incredibly scary and those first few hours can feel overwhelming when your pet is so sick. Our team was honored to be there for you and Potato when you needed help the most. Hearing that you felt supported and cared for during such a stressful time means a lot to all of us. Thank you for trusting us to be part of his care, even if only for that first step. Please give Potato some extra love from our team! We’re all rooting for him.
RecommendedDr. Anne Weigt is the go to eye doctor for your pets. I would give her 20 stars if I could. She works out of the ophthalmology center located within this speciality clinic. ( note there is also an emergency center happening there too). She is super experienced and friendly, and I have learned some eye diseases can be diagnosed and treated ahead of time to slow progression . We have a blind dog we took to her and now we take preventative measures—-by putting all our pups through eye exams with her. We currently have 2 other ... read more
Business response:
Cindy, thank you for your thoughtful and generous review. We’re grateful for your trust in Dr. Weigt and our Ophthalmology team. Early detection and preventative care can make such a meaningful difference, and it’s wonderful to hear how proactive eye care has helped your pups. We truly appreciate your continued confidence in our specialty services.
RecommendedMy 5 yr old mini dachshund had surgery here. They took the best care of our baby! I love the doctors and staff at DCES. While I hope to never need their services again, I’m so very glad they are available. Thank you!
Business response:
Sara, thank you for your kind words! We’re glad our team could take such good care of your dachshund and support your family through surgery. We hope you never need us again either, but we appreciate your trust and are grateful to be here when it matters most.
RecommendedI have a senior cat with complex liver-gallbladder-pancreas-intestine problems. I sought care at the clinic upon recommendation from my primary veterinarian. I brought my boy Lou in and he received the royal treatment - exam, labs, ultrasound - Dr. Guma took the time to explain the results and develop a plan of care as we navigate long-term management of his issues. I called the office the next week with a question about his appetite and heard back the next day with Dr. Guma’s recommendations. I feel fortunate that my swe... read more
Business response:
Kathy, thank you for sharing Lou’s story and for trusting us with his care. We know how challenging it can be to navigate complex, long-term conditions, especially with a senior cat that you love so deeply. We’re glad Dr. Guma was able to take the time to walk through Lou’s results and help create a thoughtful care plan. We also appreciate you noting the continuity and clear communication. Please give Lou a gentle scratch from all of us, and know that we’re here to support you both.
RecommendedWhen I went to reception and explained my cat's problem, the receptionist called a nurse, who came out quickly. They took my cat to the emergency room and gave him initial treatment. After a while, the doctor came to me and explained everything they were doing and what still needed to be done, including an X-ray. She was very professional. They also informed me about the cost. Communication was key and they were excellent throughout the entire process. They gave me the appropriate medications and the treatment plan. Thanks t... read more
