Dr. GilMurray is amazing! So patient and skillful when treating our dogs, one of which is quite difficult during vet visits! She is also so responsive to follow up questions. Cannot say enough positive things about the clinical staff at VCA Calvert.

I am so impressed with how knowledgeable Dr. Capella is with guinea pigs. Twice now this hospital has come to my rescue for my fur babies. They have brought 2 of my guinea pigs back from severe illness. Once when my female had mites and now when one of my boars has an upper respiratory infection which can be fatal to guinea pigs. They immediately took him in and put him in an oxygen room, gave him a nebulizer treatment and then throughly checked him over. Dr. Capella was very friendly and caring she really listened to my concerns as Ive already seen one pig die from an U.R.I. I felt very informed when the vet. Tech explained the treatment plan and reassured by her that we were on the right treatment plan. Super friendly and extremely caring ! This is the only place I will bring my piggies from now on!

UPDATE:Amanda took the time to correct the situation and provide us with options and we were able to get our dog seen. Thank you Amanda! Dr. Calvert helped us out and promptly followed up.The doctors and techs at Calvert are great but I was just told by the office admin I cannot get my sick dog in for a month and we are an existing patient for over 6 years. I was told that they have an influx of new patients they are trying to accommodate and I find this NOT acceptable and unfortunately will be looking for a new vet. I would have expected them to ask a doctor if they could squeeze my dog in and the office assistant was snarky and offered nothing.

Just some background: I am a registered veterinary technician; I just don’t work in an animal hospital setting anymore. I have tried a few vets, but I am most comfortable here, and especially working with Dr. Capella.I appreciated her communication when my beloved cat was diagnosed with terminal illnesses. It was a difficult time, but I am very thankful to Dr. Capella and the team for their honesty and availability. It was an awful situation that could have been much worse, and I am confident that we did everything we could for him, which puts me at peace.

Read through these reviews and you will see the care you receive from the Vets and Techs is really great...while the office staff is horrendous. The best word to describe most of them is nasty. Not to mention their constant inability to do what they say or act like a decent human being to you. I get people have bad days but being friendly is a part of being in a support position. Negative demeanor is not appreciated and if you dont like your job there are lots of other places you can work. Maybe find one where you dont have to talk to people.

Love, care, and medical excellence are the norm at Calvert. My dog has chronic medical issues that were detected by the doctors here. We have been going for four years and will continue. Calvart will treat your pet with the absolute best care in the area or refer you if they believe you need a specialist. They will go above and beyond. After years of treatment here, my dog chipped a tooth on a toy. Dr. Hepner called me a bit after she did my dogs tooth extraction letting me know that she had some toys for him to pick from. She went above and beyond. This is the type of excellent service you can expect.

I took my dog here a month ago and due to Covid I wasn’t able to go in the office which wasn’t a problem, but when I left I didn’t receive any paperwork of my dogs visit. I was sent a text to pay my bill and was told they would email a detailed report of my dogs visit with a list of vaccines she got. I NEVER received this and I have requested for it several times. I was told it was email which it was not... I checked all my mailboxes as well as spam nothing was sent to me except for the receipt of my payment. I need these records my dog got a rabies shot at this visit and I have no record of it. Just very unprofessional and not helpful at all, not to mention this was my dogs first time at this office so I would expect a detailed exam since it was their first time seeing her. Save your time and money and go to one of the other amazing vets that are in this area there are plenty to choose from.

My boys and I love VCA Calvert Vet Center. The team is amazing! Whenever I have questions, the whole team is always available to answer my questions and help me find what fits my budget.

The staff is very great and all are willing to help, tell a joke and they will be friends for life.They treat our cat like gold, been going for 10 years and never a complaint.

We had been with VCA for 5 years. The team of doctors and techs are amazing but the office staff is why we are leaving. In the last two weeks we have loaded up for appointments made via phone and online to turn around with no medical help for my dogs toothache. Both appointments were not recorded and I was told that when I called it was my fault the person in the office did not record my appointment. The office person told me twice that this was my fault that I would show up at 11:40 on a Saturday to take my dog to the vet. I did not have an appointment and it would be $125 to be seen. The second time (schedule 2 weeks prior) I was told they were having trouble with their online scheduling and I should have called. I hate leaving the doctors but I need a team that I can depend on when it comes to the care of my animals, my family members! I warn you that if you want a dependable team that you should look for a different clinic. The office staff is not there for you or your pet!

I called in for an ER visit for my rabbit. There was an apparent miscommunication from the caller to the vet. Long story short, my time and money had been wasted. My rabbit could not be helped, and I was told an exaggeration of his health condition and guilt tripped by the vet into trying to get me to spend more than just an exam on him when she could not address his issues. I should have just gone to STAHL in VA first rather than try going here. Never again.

It has been 2mos. since my dog Chase passed. I waited as to not write a review under emotion. VCA was his Vet of record. I took him in as a very weak/sick dog. Dr.Hepner gave him a half baked exam & released w/ clean bill of health. Chase was dead in 1 week. Vets. must heed the advice of pet owner who truly/completely know their pets, but instead I was treated as a pet owner over reacting. Chase was my life & reason to live, my soul has been ripped from my being. Since this VCA conglomerate bought out Calvert & the turnover with employees it has Not been to standard. Please VCA, do Not respond with Spin to this review.

Dr. Calvert and their staff are phenomenal! I have a cat that is not friendly and cannot be touched by anyone except me. The Calvert staff go out of their way to help accommodate my cats needs and provide me with regular updates on how he is doing while he is in their care to ease my tension of the “unknown”.This is the best place to bring your animals!

Both vists they charged hundreds over what they said they would. My 10 week old kitten got her shots there and has been limping ever since. I took her back and they charged me for xrays they were not able to get.Im not sure what they are actually able to do since math and basic pet handling of a sweet and very friendly kitten are not their strong points.

Dr. Gilmurray is a wonderful vet! My 9 year old cat, Doc, has seen several vets, and we switched 2 years ago and will never see anyone else. She delivers thoughtful, personalized care. We recently added a puppy to our family, and she has been great with him, too- she recommended a couple of books for us to read, and was very patient with the 1000 questions we came armed with!The front desk is also awesome- they remember us by name and always take great care of us.We LOVE Calvert Vet!

Very dissatisfied with my recent experience at this vet talking to Zoe. Been taking my two parrots here over the years and really valued the care they received. One got very very ill over the weekend when Calvert was closed so we of course made an emergency run. I had all results sent to Calvert as I really value their knowledge. When I called today to inquire about the results I was told heartlessly it will be a $38 interpretation fee. I feel this is terribly insensitive, we’ve been patients for years, spending hundreds of dollars there and would have obviously been there this time if they had been open. All I asked was for an opinion on the results I HAD sent over. It’s as if they are just out for money and don’t truly care about the well being of your pet. I have a bird experiencing seizures and am genuinely fearful of the outcome, spent hundreds at the emergency vet and will likely have more visits to Calvert in the coming weeks, the least they could do was read results and show some compassion.

The team there was very friendly and helpful. I was so worried about my dog Cutie Pie they reassured me everything will be fine. Very clean facility and very friendly people. They will definitely be my dogs new vet. I totally love this place!!

Calvert Vets are the best! My cat, Doc, and I have been patients for a little over a year, and I happily drive over an hour (round trip) for his appointments at this wonderful Certified Cat Friendly practice!The girls at the front desk know us by name, and are great at keeping track of what were due for. And they love Doc!Doc had a serious health issue that our last vet had given up on solving- I had almost lost him. When I met Dr. Gilmer, everything changed. She was able to run a few tests and give us a diagnosis within just a couple of appointments. Her bedside manner is great, and she is always happy to do extra research to find out whether theres a better way to treat my boy. She always goes the extra mile. Since weve been seeing her, hes gotten a lot better!We love everyone at Calvert. They have made both me and Doc so comfortable. When my husband and I went on a 2 week vacation, we were happy to know that he would be staying with our friends at Calvert Vets. They returned him safe, happy and healthy.I will never go to anyone else, and I refer all of my friends and family to them!

I have a 3 yr old bully pitbull. I’m new to the area and had a full blown panic attack when my dog chewed his tail raw today. I called spoke with Katie on the phone and explained to her the situation and that Titan was also dog aggressive but people friendly and I was worried about taking him to the vet but he NEEDED to be seen. She got me an appointment for two hours later where titan was able to avoid other dogs and was seen by some amazing staff members. They were so sweet with him, talked me through everything, gave him lots of treats and it was the most relaxed I’ve seen my boy at the vet ever. I’ll definitely be using VCA Calvert again. Knowledgeable, Compassionate, and the best bed side manned. I am so relieved and thankful.

I have been a long time customer of Calvert. I love Dr. Gilmer and trust her with all of my fur babies. I trust her recommendations and dont feel she recommends me to have any unnecessary treatments for my pet. I feel comfortable having her as my pets doctor and will continue to see her as long as she is there. I will say that I find it to be a little more costly when compared to family and friends visits to their veterinarian. I have also been to a vet that offered a small multi-pet discount, which while small was appreciated and helpful. My sisters vet also offers her a discount for being a long time customer. Again, it is small, but it is nice to know its there. While the price is sometimes a bit of a shock to the system, I pay for the trust that I have in the vet that cares for my fur babies. That means the most to me.

My pet was taken here as an emergency while I was away on vacation. And to no fault of the staff/team she had to be euthanized. What makes me dissatisfied and heartbroken is when I specifically requested and paid for the return of my pets ashes and a paw print, I got nothing. I am having to re-grieve the loss of my pet all over again. I never even got a sympathy card from the practice. For $300 I don’t have my pet or her ashes, and I don’t think the practice could care less. I won’t recommend exotic owners go here there are far better priced and more compassionate veterinary exotic practices in the area.

We took our guinea pigs to Calvert Vet for a checkup and the staff were so friendly and helpful! The vet tech Sydney was very gentle with our boys and had a wonderful sense of humor. Dr. DeJesus was extremely knowledgeable about guinea pigs and had an excellent bedside manner. The clinic itself was also a clean, welcoming place (they even had paw prints embedded in the ceiling tiles!) We look forward to bringing our pigs here in the future!

I have been visiting Calvert for about a year now with my pup Gabby. Unfortunately she has had to visit the vet far too many times since I have owned her, but I am happy to say that the staff has always made her visits as enjoyable as possible. The staff at the front desk is always friendly and helpful (and it helps that they also love Gabby!), Gabby has been seen by pretty much every doctor/vet tech that works at Calvert and I dont have a negative thing to say about any of our experiences.I am happy that I was able to find such a great vet so close to my house! Dont hesitate to use Calvert!

I have had 5 visits to Calvert,over the last 2 years. My first concern is I have never walked out without a bill totaling 350.00 or less, for minor illness, with a long list of tests run. Never has an illness been diagnosed within the first visit. More tests and more tests, more money, till we get to a maybe it is ???? My second concern is once you are an established patient, if you call because there is an issue and you need your pet to be seen, you are charged for an emergency visit, and you walk in and the business is empty ? Also nothing is done with you in the room, other than weight, ear and teeth check. Then your pet is removed, brought back by a tech, and maybe if your lucky the vet will come back in the room to give you a diagnosis, if not your just loaded down with medicine, and told to come back for a recheck. If you refuse any of the pile of products, you get a lecture. Sorry but I can get the same shampoo on line for $20 less. The same ear cleaner for $10 less. Before moving to this area, my normal Veterinarian never charged for a recheck. You can believe Calvert does, for a 5 minute look over, then your out the door. Most of the staff is very friendly and welcoming, a beautiful clean facility. So disappointed, will continue to search.

Brilliant vets and amazing support staff. They see so many types of pets! Not only your dogs and cats, but everything from birds and hamsters to turtles and snakes - and they know what they are doing. My vet actually referred me to them for our hamster. Worth every penny!

Weve taken our pets to Calvert Veterinary Center for over four years with absolutely no complaints! They always extend professional knowledgeable services every single time were there and tailor their services to meet our budget. I wouldnt go anywhere else and I highly recommend them to everyone I know. Great work, Calvert Vet!

Calvert vet is amazing. They take great care of my cat and my late pet dog. From medical visits to boarding Calvert vet loves my pets as much as I do. They are always friendly and personable and ready to help as needed. My medicine is easy to order for my cat that has thyroid issues. They keep in contact via phone and email if I have questions.

Ive been taking my fur babies to Calverts since 2011. The experience Ive had with several of the doctors was always good, and the techs. are wonderful too ! The reception area is clean, as well as the examining rooms. I find all of the personnel compassionate and caring toward my pets. Wouldnt think of going anywhere else! They even offer senior discounts, if you ask for it !

I took my dog here after getting her from a shelter. Its an amazing place with some very nice staff. My dog enjoyed the entire appointment despite getting three shots. It was the best bet experience Id had for any of my pets.

I am really glad I chose Calvert Veterinary Center as Buffys doctors office almost 9 years ago. Every time we need to make an appointment it is always a convenient time for us to go, even with emergencies. I think we have seen all of the doctors over the years and all of them seem genuinely happy to be doing what they are doing. The technicians are always cheerful and also seem glad to be working there. Even the people at the front desk are a great welcoming committee. I would recommend Calvert Veterinary Center to anyone. And I have!

Dr. Gilmer and entire staff were wonderful! Finding highly competent avian vets is challenging so we feel grateful to have discovered her. She explained everything plainly and even showed us what was leading her in a certain direction as to what the problem might be. A different vet might order a full battery of invasive tests to cover all the bases, but I’m confident she used her own knowledge along with listening closely to what we could tell her.

The staff here are helpful, caring and understanding. When it was time to say goodbye to my fur baby Honey Dew, the staff were outstanding. Dr. Gilmer truly seems to love all her patients. They even sent us a card with a paw print that could be planted. When it comes time for another fur baby they will definitely be seen by them.

Ive been with Calvert for over 3 years now. I recently moved over an hour away yet I continue to take my dog back to Calvert because of my overall satisfaction. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and they exceed my expectations every visit. They are proactive ensuring my dog is up to date on his vaccinations, shots, tests, and exam. With my dog having a prescription diet it is imperative that I order food in time to not run out. Calvert is on top of it every month ensuring that I have the food ready for pick up especially since I am coming from out of town. Their facilities are top notch. I give Calvert my highest recommendation.

Every time I bring my 2 cats there they are treated very well and cared for a great deal. No one makes a fuss about them checking out the exam room or gets flustered at anything. The Vet always checks with me after the visit to make sure that I understand what kind of home care is needed to keep my girls healthy.

I absolutely LOVE Calvert. I take my bunny(lollihop) here and everyone treats her and I amazing and they are so friendly and kind.

My experiences are numerous and I am always greeted in a very friendly manner, my appointments are prompt and all questions are answered and explained. My pets act happy to see the veterinary personnel and I leave knowing my pets are well cared for.It is always a pleasant experience.Fran Judd Carlee has forgotten the bad day she had Thursday which was all her fault. Staff handled her very smoothly.

They have a great friendly staff. They really care and listen to the fur patients needs and take care of them the best way possible. Although I feel prices are a little high, its well worth the care and attention they give to my fur-babies. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I started using Calvert Veterinary Center about a year ago when I moved from eastern shore MD. I have never been more pleased and comfortable with a vet. Everyone there is so polite and they also go above my expectations to make sure my babies are healthy and taken care of. Thank you so much for all you guys do!!

Great facility, great service, and wonderful people!!! Thank you so much for taking such fabulous care of my little Sedona! I Highly recommend this facility.

Brought our dog here a few years ago for an injury. Every single person was rude and had a serious attitude. I felt like I was being talked down to the entire time I was there. The staff have a huge stigma against pit bull types, and aren’t afraid to let us show. I was put down for raw feeding, was told I was uneducated, and was blamed for my dogs anxiety and fear. I was told he should already be neutered, so he could be ‘fat and happy’. He can’t be trim and happy? I also had leftover ham as bribery, and was layed into for feeding him ham. I don’t feed ham to him at every meal. It was a high value treat and I thought it would help distract him. Apparently I’m the worst pet owner ever and have no knowledge of how to take proper care of him. Yet this place will push a toxic science diet into you so they can make a buck. His yearly bloodwork is impeccable, by the way. Teeth clean as can be. His vet jokes that he will live forever, he’s so healthy and shows very little signs of aging at almost 7. This place is just terrible and they only want your money. Their attitudes made that quite clear. You couldn’t pay me to go back, I could never trust people like them with my four legged family members. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had in the history of vet visits. Fear mongering and bullying is their technique.

Wonderful vet! They are experienced and staffed for small animal/exotic (I have two guinea pigs) - would definitely recommend. Facility is large, clean and friendly staff!

Calvert Veterinary Center has provided excellent care for my cat. They look at all aspects of pet care ( urgent, preventative and behavorial) when creating a treatment plan. They are also pragmatic and proactive about the costs of pet care and help you understand what things will cost before you make a decision. They are patient and caring toward my pet and while my cat will never love going to the vet, I know he is well treated there.I cannot say enough good things about Calvert Vet Center.

Everyone was so friendly and you could tell they really cared about our pet.

Dr. Gilmer has been compasionate and thorough with every step of my dogs care. She explains everything clearly and makes the extra effort to ensure we are getting the best care possible. Even taking that extra step to return my phone calls personally. It is this type of compassion and genuine concern that will keep me coming back for future visits.

While I do not currently have a pet, as I had to have my golden put down because of bone cancer a little over a year ago, the services I received at Calvert were very good. The waiting room is large so the animals have some space while waiting their turn. The only complaint I would have is their fees are a little high for the area when compared to other vets in and around the area.

Best vet I’ve ever been to. Dr. DeJesus takes her time with my new puppy and the vet tech Sabrina is always very helpful with any questions we may have.

Ive been taking my pups to the Calvert vets for over 2 years now. The staff is great...the facilities are new and clean. The staff knows us all by name when we come in. Sometimes the price tag is a bit steep, but I dont mind spending a little more for great care. I would recommend The Calvert vets to anyone.

I have been taking my yorkie there since he was a puppy. He is 6 years old now. Dr. Calvert was the first one to diagnose him with a liver shunt when he was 2 months old. If it hadnt been for her, he wouldnt be here today. In addition to his shunt, Dr. Calvert also diagnosed his double hernia a few months ago and she did the surgery to correct it. I would HIGHLY recommend Calvert Veterinary Center to anyone. Everyone there is wonderful and loving and I know when I have to take my pets there for anything, they are in good hands.

I have been going to this vet for over 20 years. The staff very compassionate and accommodating. We especially admire Dr. Gilmer, her true kindness, intelligence and caring are hard to find these days.The staff is also very caring and a shout out for Amanda, Katy and Zoey. Its a pleasure to find such a clean environment with a loving staff.Thank you Dr. Calvert for putting together such a wonderful team!!

Wonderful animal loving people work here. Dr. Gilmurray was great!

Everyone at Calvert Vet is so incredibly nice. They take the time to know you and your pet. The staff always takes the time to explain each diagnosis and all options available to your pet. The vets genuinely love their job! Highly recommended!

The employees here are great with every pet possible and also friendly.

We receive the kind of care for our dogs as if they were part of their family. The staff/techs are extremely helpful with questions or anything we need as soon as you walk in the door. The doctors are very knowledgeable, caring, great bedside manner,loving and take the time to explain so we understand the treatment plan. My pets love coming to the vet because of these great people that work here.

Personal care for every pet, with a focus on the impact to the family as well. We love all the vets here and will not go anywhere else. 1 parrot, 2 dogs, and 2 cats call Calvert their extended family.

My dog was throwing up blood. They were assuming pancreatitis(as was I). When given my treatment plan options, I was NOT notified that their in house CBC doesn’t test for pancreatitis. 500$ later and dog is undiagnosed. Going elsewhere tomorrow for a thorough exam.

As I never thought I would need a vet for a lizard I actually did and when I googled vets that offered care for the smallest I found CVC. Not knowing what to expect and feeling kind of odd taking my baby to see a vet I must say this was an awesome experience. The staff were all friendly, caring and most of all they made me feel at home. I was very pleased with the service they gave my leopard gecko and I will be back. Thank you all so much.

Calvert is like a small-town vets office with all the amenities of a big chain. The people are kind and really seem to care about each pet they see, as well as the owners. Though I have moved and the office is now over an hour from my home, I still take my dog Toby there because him and I are so comfortable with the staff.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I brought my cat Ayla for her first appointment where I was nervous how she would react. The staff was able to keep her calm and relaxed the entire time. Sydney the vet assistant was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and gave me great advice. My vet DeJesus was wonderful. She was able to explain everything to me and explain the procedures. Most importantly Ayla really loved her. Overall had a great experience. Staff is amazing, the building is clean and welcoming, and if anyone has a cat I highly recommend

We just had our 16 year old jack Russell s teeth cleaned. He later passed away from aspiration pneumonia. After other visits to other vet we were told they would not of recommended having this procedure done. All for up selling at expense of our family members life. I hope no one else loses a dog her due to greed. Would never recommend them. Never in 22yrs of having dogs have we had a problem with our vet until this place. Our family is devastated. .

A caring, knowledgeable, and professional staff. My dachshund mix Taka loves going there. They give her first class treatment!

I am pleased with Calvert Veterinary. I did not feel rushed at all. They also took the time to explain my bill prior to my happy dogs check out ! Thanks, Nannette

Dr Gilmer is wonderful . I am new to her and the practice . I wish I would have met her sooner .

Dr. Jacci, Sarah, Donna, Tamie, Amanda, Lexi- not sure of all the names and I apologize if I missed someone- you were all the greatest! Maggie May my 13 week old St. Bernard is laying under my chair all calm and of course wants to be petted. You all made Maggies visit stress free for her and for me- way more than 5 stars. Looking forward to the training classes. Thank you- Ed

I had to put my beloved 15 yr old cat to sleep. There was no judgment placed for the decision. I felt all the emotions you feel when this happens to an animal you love. They put us in a comfortable room, gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye and allowed us to be there until he passed. They were so caring and understanding and empathetic to us while we were just about falling apart. They made the most emotional devastating time bearable. They carefully took him away and put him an a box for us to bring home. We had our own exit so we did not have to go through the lobby to leave. For other care we receive (for the dogs, cats and guinea pigs) they are always professional, answer all questions and make follow up calls after procedures.

Calvert Veterinary Hospital has a very dedicated and friendly staff. They treated my chicken who had been attacked and lost the skin off the top of her head. Calvert staff members performed numerous Companion Laser Therapy treatments to expedite the healing process. This was an affordable and non invasive procedure. She was also prescribed antibiotics and a topical cream. She not only survived the injuries but also grew all of her skin back. I am extremely pleased with the medical care she received. The staff members all adored my chicken and gave her alot of attention during her stay.

Dr. Hepner was very knowledgeable, thorough and explained everything very clearly. She obviously loves animals. The facility was beautiful and friendly.

First time there. All of the staff was friendly and interacted great with all the furry patients and their parents. My newly adopted cat was completely relaxed when in their hands, and any questions I had were answered; to include a follow up email that addressed my concerns about my cats diet.

The Staff is very friendly and carrying. They remember you and your pet and will go out of their way to say hello. My dog gets really excited about going to the vets.

This is the first time Ive been disappointed about my visit. The person that took my dog and I into the exam room kept trying to get me to spend more money on things that were not needed at this time. Her total for the product kept changing. To me they are pricey. I am going to look elsewhere.

I just wanted to publicly thank the reception staff (Katie & Lexi) for the amazing customer service they provided. I took a stray cat that I had overnighted to the practice to be scanned for a microchip. Katie got a hit with the wand, but the chip information had not been updated since its origin in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Displaying a ton of patience (and detective skills), Katie made countless phone calls and inquiries until she finally found the local family that had adopted the sweet cat. Lexi was also super supportive and handled the other clients while Katie was busy trying to make a reunion possible. Thank you both so much for making the extra effort on behalf of the lost kitty!

Were very happy with our experience at this vet! Wonderful staff!

They’ve been fantastic through everything from annual checkups through serious pet illnesses. Dr. Gilmer is a wonderful avian vet and a good resource for any bird owner.

We started seeing Dr. Calvert years ago before the Pasadena location opened because of her comprehensive understanding of the Greyhounds we had at the time. Since then weve added new members to the family and have always been pleased with the doctors and staff. One of the things most reassuring is the genuine care and compassion they all extend to the pets being seen. The doctors absolutely try to be thorough in diagnosing problems, but always communicated well and worked with us, particularly with some more serious issues, to plan the best course of action. If you are concerned and have questions, they take the time to address them. The staff have taken the time to follow up after each appointment and have always been available to take questions and answer by phone. We have every confidence in the doctors and staff whenever we take our pet in for a visit.

When i first walked in i felt very comfortable. Everyone was very knowledgeable and attentative. My exotics vet was very knowledgeable and was willing to take as much time with lizzi as needed. I asked lots of questions about my exotic and she answered them without making me feel as if I was a bother. The vet also offered other suggestions and offered more information than I asked. I felt very confident that I made the right choice with this center for all my exotics needs. I even got a call a couple days later to see how my exotic was eating and was told that if I wanted I could always send pictures of any concerns via email. The vet got back in touch with me in hours. Loved it here and am very pleased and happy with all services.

Everyone there loves animals and cares for them to the very best of their abilities. They do sometimes recommend additional bloodwork, which they clearly say is optional, in case people want to be proactive in caring for their pets. The cost seems a tad pricy, but they are excellent and there are enough vets where you can always get an appointment.

We have only had our Lhasa Apso (Celine) their a hand full of times, but we were very pleased with the Drs, receptionist, & staff members. They treated her as if she were their own. Called us always the next day to see how she was doing. So, we cant say enough good things about Calvert.

This is my first time Calvert Vet Clinic. I was really impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness and knowledge of the reception people. Next, after filling out the forms for the doctor to review, Dr. Lacy Gilmer survived in the room. With their assistant. She was very informative, Pleasant to talk to, answer to all my questions and provided me with more information that I did not know. What I liked about this was her personal attention she gave to my cockatiel, bird. She did a thorough physical check as well as clipped her nails, suggested she needed vitamin A in her diet and gave me a package of different pellet type foods, to give Pearl so she may live a healthier life. I also have a cap that I shall bring down there in the near future. My old Vet Clinic is very stressed out, the doctor is non informative and anyway. And as we all know our pets are like our childrenThis location is a little farther for me to get to but due to the interest and the care that the doctors and nurses give I will be back again! If you have not tried then, please do you will be surprised at the overall care and concern they have for your animals.Chip DAmboise

Excellent exotics care, I had a sick Green tree python, and the doctors and staff were very sweet affectionate and caring for my pet

We feel confertable when we take Jazz to Calvert Veterinary. They all, Doctors and staff are great. Even if you have to leave your pet with them you know theres a factor of trust and your pet is safe. The Center is clean and well taken care of. In short One of the best.

I have been taking my pets here for years. The facility is very nice and clean. But more important is the quality of care. ....it is the best, no matter what vet your pets sees. If you are lucky enough to get Dr. DeJesus....you have found the best. Also a special thanks to Tami (sry if I got the spelling wrong) and Katie for always being so nice and friendly.It may be a little expensive but it is worth it.

Being going to Calvert for over 15 years. My dogs love going to see their friends there. Dr. Calvert and Dr. VanKirk are wonderful and very caring.

They truly love the animals they treat. They were wonderful with my many different cats and even assorted guinea pigs.

Avoid this place. They are evil and incompetent. They are evil because their priority is to make the most money. They recommend unnecessary tests, and ineffective treatments. Only to benefit them. And the almost killed my dog today by prescribing a pain mefication, 5 times the normal dose. I knew enough to know this was wrong.

I love Calvert Vet Center. Ive been taking my pets there for about 8 years now, and it has been my favorite vet to go to. Even after moving out of the area, I continue to go there. All of the Vets have been very friendly and always answer my questions professionally. The Vet Techs and other staff are all great as well. Everyone seems to be understanding of the fact that pets can be expensive and they have tried to work with me to space out my visits (for multiple pets in different stages of life) so that I can afford it. When my childhood pet needed to be put to sleep few years ago the staff were very compassionate and even though things didnt go as planned, with my cat dying before he could be euthanized, I still received a lovely card in the mail with his paw prints. I recommend Calvert to everyone I know all the time!

Very caring vets and staff. Treats our cat like shes one of our family.

I have been using Calvert sincemy stay here in Maryland. I havebeen very pleased with theservices provided to my pet andfind all the staff friendly andgenuinely interested in makingsure

I brought in my tropical parrot for a check up and i couldnt believe how experienced the staff was in handling my little beast. (considering that Pedro bites and is not an animal that you see everyday at the vets office).If you have an exotic bird, thats the place to go.Im very pleasedmiriam ruffini

They love our babies and make the experience great! And we can get back-to-back appointments for our Doberman and Malti-poo for the yearly wellness!

I changed from Banfield to Calvert and was very impressed, loved the care my dog got.When I awoke one sunday morning to find my Gracie had passed away I called the Vet and was given a emergency number, when I called that number, they were so kind and we took my Gracie in for Cremation it was so hard but the Card I received from Calvert that was signed by all was so Heart warming. My Gracie just turned 12 two weeks before she passed. Thanks to all

Always have an excellent experience at this vet. All the staff and vets are very caring and professional.

This vet is horrible!!! They could care less about the animals they just want the money. My dog has a disease that we have to pray was caught in time due to wasted time coming here! We took him 3 times! They never listened to what we were saying and even tried telling us the symptoms we said werent happening! They gave us a cream every visit. Our dog has vasculitis and its so common in his breed! Hes now on medication and on the road to recovery Im so glad we went to a different vet!

I came here for a second opinion. My dog has been suffering with terrible itching. The first vet gave us a bunch of it could be this or it could be that along with a $500 list of prescription medications that may or may not work. In search of a 2nd opinion, we went to Calvert Veterinary Center. They gave us a proposed treatment plan for over $1,000 with tests and medications that were not even associated with the reason for bringing her to the vet in the first place. We explained that we wanted to deal with the problem at hand first and would address the unrelated blood work once we could get the itching under control. We received a recommendation for $350 in medications. It felt like we were being upsold the entire time. When we agreed to additional testing, but discussed using an online service provider for her prescriptions, we could tell that they were disinterested in us. They care more about their cut than they do the health of the animal. I explained that I didnt want to simply do $300 in testing (which we did) and $350 in medication when I didnt even feel that trust had been established. If we ordered the medication elsewhere, and it worked, then I would feel much better about trusting their opinion. And if they want to promote the health of the pet so much - then consider price matching. Instead, they printed the prescriptions for us, but the drug company said they can only legally receive a fax from the Vet office not a copy faxed by a patient. When the VetRx company tried to reach out to have a copy of the prescription faxed to them, they refused. They said it took too much time and they dont work with outside companies. So now, because of their unwillingness to work with a prescription company, the only way to get our dog the medication she needs is to get the medication directly from them or to go to another vet. I totally understand the need to make a buck in this economy, but as a consumer, its important to trust the providers. And yes, in this economy, saving $100 is important too. Furthermore, the prescription didnt match the treatment plan (misleading...) and we were told the treatment plan didnt take our dogs weight into consideration (why?). We were even told that one medication treated a disease that the research showed it did not. When questioned about it, we were told that the FDA requirements were too difficult to get this medication to pass as an anti-parasitic, but trust me every vet around town prescribes it. We left feeling like they didnt know any more than the first vet we went to (who did work with the prescription company). Im not trying to not care about our dog, but at this point, we are $1,000 with no answers and an itchy dog. I want to work with a vet we can trust and one that I dont feel is simply trying to make a dollar. I havent found that at Calvert and I will certainly keep looking.

They are very responsive. We have never had to wait very long when we have taken our pets there.They have always taken the time to explain all the details we need.They all seem to genuinely care about our pets.

After a 13 year relationship with Dr. Kreb at Glen Burnie Animal Hospital, I was disappointed to hear he had retired. My first and only experience with the new Vet left me feeling uneasy. My 13 y/o Kitty had been losing weight for some time and Vet just kept running tests with no results. Her communication skills lacked as I am not a Vet and dont understand all the terminology. After a few months, my girl was definitely not well so I took her to Calvert. From the Reception to the Techs to the Vets, I was immediately at ease with this place. Everything was explained to me in terms I could understand. Sadly, the news I got was not good and time was running out. Everyone there handled my grief with such care and compassion. I scheduled an in-home euthanization for my girl and was even more touched with how graceful and gentle they were throughout that process. While my heart is broken, I feel I made the right choice with the right kind of people. My Grandpuppy and 2 other kitties will now be patients there.

My wife & I are very happy with our decision to have Calvert Veterinary Center care for our Labs.

If you have to go to the vets, it is nice to know that there is a place where your pet is considered one of their own.

Calvert Veterinary is the best. Everyone works together like clockwork.

I always got top-notch care from Calvert Vet. I think they are a little high priced but the care my fur babies recieved was worth it to me. I now live in another state and am hoping I can find a vet with the same level of expertise and concern.

I recently adopted a sick Quaker parrot. Ive made numerous visits to Dr. Gilmer as a result, with some being last minute. She has been amazing at ensuring that Shibbys needs were taken care of, and I honestly believe she would be dead without Dr. Gilmers help. There are very few knowledgeable vets in this area who treat avians, and I am so glad to have one so close to my home. We had a previous vet who failed to notice that our other bird, Pongo, had high cholesterol, even though the results from the lab were clear. Dr. Gilmer noticed this right away and gave advice on how to manage this through diet.The rest of the staff at Calvert Vet is amazing too. Zoey has helped a ton when I call in and leave messages for the Dr. Its clear she takes down very detailed messages and gets them to the vet ASAP. Ive had good vets before that were ruined because their support staff was awful and Im so glad I can trust that the receptionists are top notch.Rachel, who I believe is the vet tech, is very good at wrangling my sometimes-bitey feathered friend. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She takes time to calm Shibby down to help keep her anxiety low.In all, everyone there treats my pets as if they were their own, and I never feel rushed there, or uncomfortable. I cannot say enough good things about Calvert Vet and I highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Calvert Vets...always friendly, knowledgeable, and so patient and understanding when dealing with the loss of a pet.
