Friendship Hospital-Animals

Always timely, pleasant and caring more

One of the nicest animal hospitals in DC, both staff and doctors more

I was a walk-in, I was seen almost immediately by a highly competent emergency vet (I think her name was Hannah). I have been to MANY vets who seemed to come up with every expensive test in the book to diagnose a problem. She was thorough, but I NEVER got the feeling she was trying to increase my bill by suggesting unnecessary tests. At the same time, she was professional and thorough more

I drove across town to bring my cat here when he was very ill on the recommendation of a friend and long-time District resident. I was very impressed by the operation. The staff were helpful, kind and understanding. They called me at home to give me regular updates on my pet's progress. Unfortunately, my pet passed away as a result of a terminal illness. The staff at the hospital were incredibly supportive during a painful time and made a donation to a local animal shelters in my cat's name more

I moved to DC a year ago and several people recommended this Vet so I checked it out. They have a state of the art facility and the best staff! more

I appreciate the kind and gently way all the staff treat my pet. more

I move a lot, and my two dogs have been to five different vets including three different emergency vets, and on both counts Friendship is the best around. First, the ER. A friend of mine was watching my dog and his dog when one of them got into a large box of chocolate (his dog, as it turned out). We called the vet and let them know we were coming. When we got there a team of 8-10 people were waiting. The vets had both dogs on IVs and vomiting within minutes. People at the best ERs don't get that kind of service. For regular checkups, I appreciate the bedside manner of the vets. They listen, they don't rush, you feel like you get your $80 worth. more

Been coming here for years and always had great service from caring customer friendly staff who love my beast almost as much as I love him. The service just gets better with each visit. Vets aren't cheap in general, but the prices are cheaper than I would expect for a 24 hour place in a nice neighborhood. more

I find your staff helpful and friendly. My dog is comfortable coming and going. more

I like that I'm able to get an appointment quickly and that when I have questions I can call to get valuable answers. more

I always appreciate the courtesy and care provided by the staff. more

I've come here twice and have been fully satisfied with the results. The first time I came here was shortly after I adopted my dog, who had developed a sinus infection. After stupid City Paws failed to catch it, she got worse, and I decided to take her to Friendship as emergency. I brought a variety of magazines and such to keep me occupied, as I figured I'd be spending a couple hours there. I barely touched them. I was in and out in 35 minutes! I was amazed. Dr. Covert was incredibly friendly and explained everything well. The staff was professional and courteous. The second time I came here, my dog was having some stomach issues. I was fearing I'd have to bring her in as an emergency again, but when I called in the morning, I was told they had an appointment that afternoon. I arrived slightly late for my appointment, but was still kindly greeted and quickly seen by Dr. Marke. She was incredibly friendly and explained all of the treatment options, their possible effectiveness, and cost. She answered all of my questions, and we agreed on treatment. Thankfully, a few days later my dog was back to normal. I'm now a loyal Friendship customer. My only issue is that it's not close to my house, so I have to commandeer a vehicle to get there. However, so far it's been worth it Kevin W more

The quality of the medical care is outstanding and I feel very secure knowing any problems will be detected and treated properly. more

I was very pleased with the level of service and felt that my dog was very well tended to. Stacy more

I was very happy with the help given to my mother in guiding her through all the proper steps to ship our dog to us in England. Expensive, but well worth it....Thank you very much. From the Andrews family? more

The staff at Friendship is always responsive and courteous. We normally see Dr. McMurphy for dental care and Dr. Bolch for other visits. Both have been wonderful to us and our dogs and I would recommend them highly to others for their great level of care. We feel fortunate to have the resources at Friendship so close by! Thank you! -Andra? more

Good. The staff were very helpful, and the vet techs were knowledgeable and friendly. The Dr. was nice to work with and thoughtful when one of my cats got a little freaky during the exam. Thanks for the great work! -Alyssa more
