I had a chicken who had lost the use of her right leg. We are not clients at the Georgetown vet, but after calling two other vets who would not see us, we were able to get an appointment there. I think other people might’ve thought we were being a bit silly taking a chicken to the vet, but everyone at Georgetown was understanding. Lisa at the front desk was wonderful, our vet tech was thorough and conscientious. The vet we saw was Dr. Gamez, who is a bird expert. She thoroughly examined the bird, gave us some thoughts about what could be done to help her, but after our conversation we all agreed that it was probably time to put her down. We left there feeling like we did the best we could for the bird. And although it was just a chicken, they gave us a foot print with her name on it in clay. We received excellent service at the Georgetown vet, would highly recommend.

Drs Gamez and Nicolini took care of my black lab Magic since she was 8 weeks old until yesterday when we had to put her down-—nearly 17 years later—with great compassion and care. This was my first dog and yesterday was heartbreaking for me, but thy helped me through it, from accommodating my schedule to allowing Magic to pass with dignity and grace. The entire team there, from the front desk staff to the vet techs, to the veterinarians themselves are all so helpful, kind and full of love for our pets. I will never forget their kindness and compassion from the joyful beginning of Magic’s life to this final chapter.

Just moved to the area, and my newly adopted kittens needed to be treated for ringworm. Dr. Nicolini and the technicians were loving with the kittens and extremely thorough with their care. The front desk was supportive, working with the center from where they were adopted to receive payment for treatments. They were also flexible with appointments to try to keep the number of visits to a minimum. Highly recommend this clinic!

Rude and pretentious front staff. Every time I go in they are gossiping about patients and just plain not nice women. Vets and techs are nice. Customer service needs some work.
