I love Dr Mesfin and his team. Everyone from the front desk staff to the medical assistants to Dr Mesphin are a pleasure to work with. The team always has an upbeat attitude and you can tell that they enjoy what they do. Most importantly, my RottiCorso Zahara, loves her visits there. So happy I found them in 2022 after moving from NYC to Upper Marlboro. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I called before I came to ask about renewing our prescription for NexGard Plus for heartworm, ticks and fleas. The person I spoke with (didn't get her name) said it would cost $133.63 or $268 thru September. When I came to pick up the prescription through September the woman at the front desk charged me $400. I told her what I was told when I called_ and she said that was wrong. I still don't feel certain that I paid the right price as the difference between the two prices thru Sept. Is significant. Can someone get back to me about that please. Jackye Zimmermann, owner of King Henri. 201-680-0454 read more

I really love this family owned business. I've taken both my dogs here and they are so loving and compassionate with our furry loved ones.

Everyone was very kind and most helpful. Our sick little dog is now feeling better, and will hopefully be all well in a couple of days. Thanks for you kind treatment of her. read more

Thanks for asking for my feedback on my visit. My feedback is my opinion that there should not be a cat in a place frequented by dogs. When I mentioned yesterday that the cat was stressing my dog out (he was alert and growling), there was concern expressed for the cat, but not for the dog. The cat was removed from the waiting room, but we were on standby for the possibility of the cats return. The cat stresses the dog out, and that stresses me out. And then there's a sign as you exit saying don't let the cat out. It just seems like a lot of responsibility placed on the customer to accommodate the cat. Thanks read more

Visit was thorough, informative and caring. Thankful to the techs for helping Archie feel safe.

Our visit at Upper Marlboro Veterinary Clinic was truly amazing from check-in to check-out. The entire team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. I especially want to recognize Kendall -- she was incredibly kind and attentive to my pup, Dallas, and just as thoughtful toward me. She went above and beyond to make us both feel comfortable and cared for. She truly made our visit extra special. read more

Our dog had a sudden injury. We needed an emergency appointment and this clinic made time for us. This was the week of the fourth of July. No one else would see us. The were prompt, professional and friendly. My doh screamed during the whole process. She's kind of a drama queen. They were very sweet to her the entire time. They trimmed and bandaged her injured toe. Gave us medication. Made sure she was okay before we left. She has since made a full recovery. We also followed up with the clinic so they could remove her bandages. I will be bring my fur friend back here again the next time she needs an appointment. I would definitely refer them to a friend. I left with a happy dog. read more

Service was great, but always a bit pricey. Staff is kind and knowledgeable. The veterinarian is kind and easy to talk to.

Have been my vets since I moved in the area 8yrs ago. They offer boarding as well, which was a relief for me. If anything happens with your pet, they will treat your pet while in boarding. read more

I tried establishing care with this vet when i first got my dog as an engagement gift from my partner. They scheduled my new patient appointment for a week out so i went somewhere with sooner availability but wanted to also get care from them since they were closer. I go in to get a prescription filled and spoke to the receptionist about future care. She informed me that i could get microchipping and spaying done if i brought my dog in and had the doctor take a quick look not a formal exam. I bring her in the woman looks her over feels her up and then has me hold her down and makes 3 attempts at sticking a thermometer up her rear. She gets the temperature and asks me if i would to move forward with additional shots at 173$. I say no we were told to come in and have them do a once over and there would be no charge. She says alright have a good day. I call them to schedule the spay and the" office manager" advises that in order for me to "establish care" i have to pay 81$ and then they'll let me schedule her to do the service. They also then state that their representative was incorrect in telling me that. I think it's bad business practice to so diligently pressure someone to pay when you've already established the fault was on your representative. And would like to be contacted by the vet as soon as possible. I am a first time pet owner but i am not new to customer care i work in hospital administration. read more

UPDATE TO RESPOND TO BUSINESS COMMENT: Thanks for your message. I am aware that heart murmurs can occur at any age and for any reason, and are commonly attributed to old age in dogs. However as I mentioned, the staff was informed that a heart murmur was detected prior to the administration of anesthesia. Therefore, there was some kind of negligence performed or no wellness exam was taken before he went under for a dental cleaning. I also asked to be informed of the outcome of the wellness exam to let me know if it were safe to move forward and no one called. I am still incredibly angry at the lack of care that was provided to my dog. He is now dead -- possibly prematurely in my opinion. His name was Dexter-Jackson. Please do better. You and your staff. No one should take their pet in for something routine and come back with the outcome I did. read more

Come here and meet Dovie, God's gift to pet mommies and a fabulous vet tech! She has become my greatest comfort and Gabby's newest auntie! The morning after my baby's dental procedure, SHE CALLED to check on her! Not even human doctors have done that! My most recent experience was yesterday. I've been going to this vet location for many, many years. When I originally began, it was a female vet, and when Dr. Mesfin came, I stayed. Though this vet is expensive, I've been satisfied with the service. I trust them. read more

The doctor, techs, and other staff are all caring and friendly. I'm so happy I found a vet that really cares about our pets and also cares about us, the people involved! Dr. M and JB went above and beyond recently when I showed up unannounced with my sick cat desperately in need of care. I'm thankful for finding this vet! read more

Dr. Mesfin and his staff are always attentive, thoughtful, thorough and considerate. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here with all three of our pets. We just went through the process of getting them certified for overseas travel and the Dr and his staff pulled off a miracle! read more

The vet tech and front staff were wonderful. Unfortunately the vet didn't seem interested in my concerns and had poor people skills. His ability to connect with my dog was equally poor. I would have liked him to see him engage positively with my dog and to show him some compassion. He was all business. The only time I really saw him look at my dog's face was to very firmly tell him no. I got the impression he didn't care much for animals. I will be finding a new vet. read more

Update: The vet has been lying to clear his name. I stated I would pay. He did call after 2 pm stating he could administer his medicine, but I had to be there at 3pm. No flexibility after all the inconsistency and false information provided by his staff. I actually stated i would have paid but did not know he needed an appointment since this was not stated when I called to ask the procedure on Monday. My actual statement was please give my cat this medicine since i adhered to what was told to me on Monday and I'll make an appointment. Note my cat has cancer for the 2nd time. Needs the vitamins due to the constant vomiting and extreme weight loss. The vet was well aware as i have paid for multiple surgeries, radiation and chemo. Why would I deny my pet help over a few hundred dollars. Doesn't make sense. Please read their response to my Google review. Note their reasoning is different. Nothing I stated was a lie. The vet called and emailed to get me to delete my review. I will not and glad due to their response and lies. Nothing I stated was false. Instead of accepting accountability, he continues to blame the client for them providing false information. The time should be spent on better service. Lastly Prince had two different types of Cancer over the last 2.5 years. Never once did anyone call to see how he was doing. Glad I left and found a vet that listens. Today I called asking about someone administering my cat his B12 shot. I was told on Monday that all I had to do was call and ensure it was not busy and someone would give Prince his medicine. I was also told that the office usually does not do this but will for a $30 fee. As I was told, I called today at 12:30. I spoke to Angela who stated now Prince needs an appointment. I told her this was not stated on Monday and the oncologist stated he needs his medicine each week. I asked are you stating you will allow Prince to miss his dose of medicine. Angela stated yes, he needs an appointment. I also told her he had a full check up at his oncologist and internal doctor within the last month and she could call for records. She stated he needs a check up here. You would think knowing his health status was important not making money. Guess not. So now due to miscommunication my cat is not getting his medicine. I have to scramble to find a new vet. Angela and the teams total lack of concern for Prince is troubling. I have no problem making an appointment. I would have made it on Monday, but he needs his medicine today. They just lost a client. I need a doctor's office who provides appropriate information the first time, listens and shows concern. This is unacceptable. Find another location read more

I appreciate the kindness from the techs. They remember my animals names and always seem excited to see them and show concern for my concerns. The doctor does not show the same. He was not quick to hear my concerns, he does not take the time to explain what he plans to do or why, and he is not conscientious when it comes to charging for things. He will charge you for the most expensive food or for treatment without knowing first what's going on. I want to feel safe with my veterinarian and I no longer feel that way. read more

The charges for the medications were exorbitant. There was an error maid in my original charge which Was canceled. When it was Is re run the charge was twice as much. I checked the medication online in the pricing for the on Was one quarter of what it was charged to me at the vet. read more

I have been going there for a few years now. They really care about your pet. My dog loves it there too.

The cost was high, and I was charged 400.00 without asking me other questions. he wants money and I walk out with a big bill he is very expensive read more

They did a nice job helping with cat emergency but wait was more than a day One very very rude receptionist eating in lobby and on personal phone calls very unprofessional Unfortunately it was underestimated the wound severity abs sutured stapled up and should have been left open to pack clean and drainage I had to do an I and d on him 4 days later after the sutures/ staples burst I took him back a second time as well to show them I'm an RN He head up wonderful after wound packing and treatment I did read more

Contacted this business to inquire about dog boarding. I spoke with Mia (she was phenomenal) and was quoted $45/night based on my dogs weight? I've boarded my dog many times and this was the first time I was asked about his weight. Mia shared the vet hospital would need my dogs vaccination records. Perfectly reasonable. I have pet coverage with Banfield Pet so my dog is up to date. Mia put me on hold and came back to the call to say the vet hospital would not accept my dogs records. Instead, I had to make an appointment for an exam ($59) so my dog could be examined and vaccination records verified?????? This makes ZERO sense. I pay enough for Banfield pet coverage. To have to pay for another exam to board my dog who will only be kept in a KENNEL with no interaction with other dogs---just let out to relieve himself????!!!! That is absurd and indicates a business that just wants $$$ read more

I'm very grateful for Dr. Mesfin and Upper Marlboro Veterinary Hospital. He has treated our dogs for over a decade. We followed him from Waldorf to Upper Marlboro, and he provides the best treatment for your pet. He's saved our dogs numerous times, as they had hereditary health issues as puppies, and now that they're reaching senior status, issues are starting to creep up. Recently, our 10+ year old pitbull Brutus had a tumor growth on his foot. Dr. Mesfin accommodated all of our requests, and the surgery was a major success. The next day Brutus was up and active, had zero complications from the procedure. Two weeks later you wouldn't realize he's missing a toe! I absolutely thank Dr. Mesfin and his team for all they have done for my pets over the years. Absolutely improved their quality of life. read more

Now that I'm in this area, I really needed to find a good vet for thee Duchess. Enter the UMVH. So Duchess was sick, not eating throwing up and the like. I called around to a few vets, none of which either had a vet there or had an appointment. Well, this location had both. The same day that I called, I was able to get in and see the Doctor. The hospital is located right on Marlboro Pike in the opposite location of Main Street, going toward 301. Signage is pretty easy to spot from the road and there are plenty of parking spaces. Once inside, the waiting area is extremely clean, the exam rooms are right off of the waiting area. The staff here are amazing! I have called to ask questions prior to my appointment, after my appointment, during my appointment (you get the idea), and they have answered them completely and to my understanding. I have left a message, and within 30 minutes I received a telephone call back from the Vet! This is something that I have never experienced before. I don't feel as though I am being taking advantage of, as Dr. M took the least invasive way to treat Duchess and gave me the step by step course that would we would need to take should it not work. Thankfully, we didn't have to go that route. Prices are fair in comparison to other locations, and they offer wellness plans to suit the needs of you and your pet. Medications, foods, etc are purchased in house. They keep digital records and offer additional services such as boarding and grooming. I can't speak enough of their praises, I'm so happy that I found them, and that Duchess has a new Vet home. read more

I chose this place because of the reviews. However on their front doors, a sign states 'the wait room is closed'. You are encouraged to stay in your vehicle or make an appt the next time to attend the exam with your pet. My advice to you, Go into the exam with your pet ALWAYS! Do not be swayed by online positive reviews (wherever you go); more importantly, when you take your cat, dog, etc to any place, don't let them out of your sight. We made this mistake with our generally healthy pet - the outcome, - tremendous heartache, a deceased pet, and unresponsiveness to our questions. read more

My wife and I are thankful for the care and attention shown to our dog Rocky, and with the fast turnaround of the lab results.

Their prices are pretty steep, but they treat and care for Pitbull mixes, so I'll be a longtime loyal customer. The Vet is very friendly and always makes sure you are aware of the options you have for your pets. I never feel pushed to certain medicines or procedures. You can tell he wants to make you and your pet comfortable. They also offer grooming services, that again, are pricey. However you get what you pay for! It should be noted that there is a pet cat that wanders throughout the facility, so make sure you keep a close eye on your pets if they are cat chasers! read more

I'm new to the area and had to find a vet for my two dogs. So far this vet has been wonderful. I've been here three times already since we moved here and each visit has been good. They are responsive, knowledgeable and courteous. My dogs seem to be in good spirits when they come back from their visit. I would definitely recommend. read more

This is a great place! I have been very pleased each visit. My pup is only a little over one, but we've come several times because he's pretty active and has a sensitive stomach so those two things keep us in there regularly lol! These are the things I appreciate: - Availability/Ease of getting a short minute appointment - Friendly staff - Digital receipts!! (Oh God I hate paper receipts and printouts from doctors offices. Dr. Mesfin's office emails a receipt as soon as you check out! - Events: They had a fun open house with vendors and giveaways! - Clean: it's quite apparent they have high standards for cleanliness. - Affordable: okay, in all fairness, this is my first dog so I don't know what the price baseline is, but the prices so far have been reasonable! - Ability to diagnose: I appreciate that I can call and the team will gladly answer my questions over the phone. Makes me happy. :) - Record-keeping: I really like that all his vaccinations, or shots, or other miscellaneous annual things he gets, are all indicated on the bottom of the receipt as a reminder of when he last got them and when the next is needed. - Parking: easy-peasy - Location: Convenient! Right off 301. - Hours: Great office hours. read more

My nightmare experience at Banfield Bowie, lead to the discovery of this DIAMOND IN A ROUGH! I am so grateful and I am glad to say I found a new Doctor for my pet! After receiving a quote which appeared to be price gouging from Bandield- Bowie, I decided to research another Vet for my dog. While in the Petsmart parking lot, I called Upper Marlboro Veterinarian Hospital (Dr. Mesfin @ Upper Marlboro Veterinary Hospital) and made an appointment for today 10.17). My experience went exceptionally well. Every thing I could have hoped for in a Veterinarian experience was provided by Dr. Mesfin and his staff. What Dr. Mesfin displayed was not something Veterinary School can teach. He displayed compassion for my pet and he was very involved in wanting to help the pet. The service was by far STELLAR. I am happy to say that I have a NEW VET and I am happy. ***PLEASE COME TO UPPER MARLBORO VETERINARY HOSPITAL***************************************************************************************************YOU WILL HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE!**************** My new Vet is Dr. Mesfin @ Upper Marlboro Veterinary Hospital, 15222 Marlboro Pike, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. read more

Our dogs love going to the vet. Our now old man loves the staff apposed to other big box stores staff that would say "you need to muzzle him" because of his look. The Doc gives him a hold command and takes blood gives shots and takes temps. Our crazy little girl has only ever known UMVH and that's the way we are going to keep it. read more

Likes: Ideal location, flexible scheduling, sanitary environment, cordial staff Pimping the Paws! Questionable: Inflated Pricing for Treatment, Rx Interventions and Care Recommendation Overkill. It seems a common practice for the Dr. to $eize the moment of recommending a laundry list of suggested care. No so humane :( read more

Expensive and more focused on upwelling than actually listening to the patient and what they need. My pet has inflamed paws and lesions in his pelvic area and then recently threw up blood. Luckily I had an appointment that same day when he threw up blood and took him in. No blood work was done to assess him, no recommendations to go to an emergency vet who could perform an endoscopy, nothing was done to really diagnose or help diagnose what was going on. The main questions I kept getting asked over and over was if his nails should be trimmed, his weight and if I wanted to do his upcoming shots. The invoices are unclear for services provided and only the doctor can send out a complete medical history (strange). I choose to go here because it was closer to my house (recently moved) but I don't think I want to continue taking my pet to them. read more

The overall service was good. The vet completed a through exam, asked lots of questions, and made several recommendations.

Brought our dog here because she was vomiting, had diarrhea and was experiencing digestion issues, after numerous test which amounted to over $500 (with x-rays would have been $800, we declined) the staff could not determine the problem & said we should try the emergency room for our dog. If that was case why did we come here and pay for all these tests if you could help? Suffice to say our dog got better in a couple days after the shots provided. Return two weeks later, to picked some heart & flea medication, was told by staff that additional tests were needed in order to issue the medication, advised staff that we had previously paid for these tests, then after some research, they offered an apology , but I'm quite if would've paid for the tests, they would've taken our money again. This is our last visit here. read more

Called today about 1 pm. The lady that answered was probably the rudest person I have encountered in a while. She might be fine with animals thats great but humans the ones that actually keep this company afloat, not so good. read more

My husband and I moved here from another State with our fur baby 6 months ago. One of the first things we wanted to establish in our new location was finding a great doctor for our chihuahua. I researched and read the reviews on Yelp. I made the decision to try Upper Marlboro Veterinary Hospital. I am very pleased with the care my fur baby is receiving ! She has been there a few times and recently had dental cleaning and minor surgery. I received a call the next day to see how she was doing after her surgery. Thank you ! Dr. Mesfin always greets us with a smile ! He is so kind and gentle and makes me feel comfortable with the care she is receiving. Dr. Mesfin's Staff are friendly and helpful ! They make us feel welcome ! Thank you, Dr. Mesfin and Staff for the compassionate care you give to your furry patients and their human parents ! read more
