I inherited my cat from a family member. I hadn't had a cat before, so I'd never been to a vet…read morebefore. I noticed my cat's anus seemed irritated so I took him here. The vet techs were nice. When the male vet came in, he barely introduced himself. I tried explaining I'm new to cats and wasn't familiar with how vet visits go. He then asks me to "scruff him." I have no idea what that meant, I just said I'm new to cats. He seemed irritated and brought in a vet tech. I thought he was just going to look at his anal area, only to discover he was expressing my cat's anal glands. Did not explain to me what he was going to do nor what an anal gland expression entails. Then he tossed the pus covered paper towels into the trash, and missed. And left it there. I tried asking more questions and felt dismissed. At one point the vet literally just ignored me as he was writing notes. Oh, he listened to my cat's heart and lungs and said everything "sounded good." It's two months later at a different vet, and my cat has a heart murmur and asthma! I brought my cat back one more time for another anal gland expression. When I called ahead asking for the price, they told me it would be $20 + $5 vet tech fee. When it was time to pay, it was $30 or $35 + $5 vet tech fee. Felt like they were just pulling out random numbers. The vet techs were nice overall, but after all of that, I just got a weird vibe and won't be bringing him back.

They told me they could not see her right away but recommended I take her to an urgent care. I was surprised, because isn't that the reason you have a relationship in the first place, for when there's an emergency, to get her seen? It turns out she was diagnosed with diabetes and then had to go to another place for an overnight at the Cat hospital. I was told she should be seen by her regular vet for follow up. Everhart was unable to give me a follow up appointment other than having come in all day and stay in a crate to be seen. I did that, which severely traumatized her.It also made her blood sugar, skyrocket, which is exactly the condition I was coming into have get better, not worse. A few weeks later, she developed breathing problems. I again called Everhart during normal business hours explained the situation and was told I could not bring her in. They said "we are closing soon", even though I live five minutes away and they were still open for another hour. They told me repeatedly how shortstaffed they were because one vet was out on maternity leave and another was on her honeymoon. I'm sorry, this is a staffing issue that was completely foreseen and should have been planned for in advance. I ended up taking her to the emergency room, had an absolutely traumatizing five hours there. One of the questions was what is her regular vet and when I told them it was Everhart, they said "oh yeah, we've been getting a lot of their people here." Long story short, my cat was so traumatized by that experience, and I was so discouraged by the complete lack of access to non-traumatizing medical care (which should have been provided by her regular vet, with whom I had a relationship going back to 2017), that I made the difficult decision to have her put down at home. she died in my arms. Everhart failed me in the most important three weeks of my cat's life. Don't let them fail you and your cat. Go elsewhere.

Sadly, I feel like this place just gets more and more expensive as time passes. For example, our…read moredog needed to get a shot and the price for fast paws went from $5 to $10.30?!?!

My dog is very social, sweet but timid, fearful of vets, and (mis)labeled by this practice as aggressive (to which they did not inform me until this visit). However, my dog's prior vet (for his entire life) does not have that label in his record. His trainer, walker, boarder, and daycare all said he is social and would "not hurt a fly". Yes, he has anxieties, frightened by loud city noises, and needs to warm up to strangers. However, he has gone through training to address these fears and develop confidence. We do not intend to return to Charm City Vet, as they do not know how to treat a dog with fears, even though they advertise they have two fear-free-certified techs. A physical exam was not attempted, except a light was shined in his face for 2 seconds. Clearly, their team did not know how to foster a safe rapport as a confident pack leader for a fearful dog. Instead, they behaved with extreme caution and bias, and I felt my dog did not receive fair and proper care. Zero mention of their fear free certified techs and approaches were not shared nor provided. I was only informed of this post visit through their FB ads. The Charm City Vet team received a 0-1 rating from the receptionist, tech, and vet. Poor communication and treatment remained across the team. Although our old vet moved away, we have resumed care with them as their team truly cares about our dog and every animal that enters their practice.

Our cat was in desperate need of euthanasia and it happened abruptly - I phoned around that day and this was a vet who could come that same day.

I'm scratching my head over this and cannot reconcile the - well, the unethical behavior -- The vet was kind and very professional - But this monetary component has left me with a very sour outlook. (I haven't even mentioned that I was told he would arrive at 6:30 --- was then phoned at 6 to confirm that he was on his way -- only to wait another 90 minutes (the location is 25 minutes from my home)). Save for this shady handling of fees, I would readily have considered using this vet in the future as it is closer to my home --- but not now. If I hadn't been so desperate to help my cat, I would have chosen another route.

When he is available, he checks in on our dog to see how he is doing. The treatment itself is administered, most of the time, by the technician who runs the desk. She does it all (at least on Saturdays). She checks people out, schedules appointments, gives laser treatments and clips nails. Every once in a while this can cause delays, like that one week where the lady was giving her pet's life story and running through her entire month schedule while trying to set up a follow up appointment. The line got three deep that time. That was an exception. The majority of the time we are in and out with our scheduled appointment. Overall, prices are reasonable and Dr. Bishop and his staff are personable and total animal people. That's exactly what I want from a veterinarian.

My cat, Amelia, has been having chronic flare ups of nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. As a…read morepet owner, nothing is more scary than seeing your baby not feeling well and being unable to pinpoint exactly what's wrong. I had taken her to another vet previously who couldn't find anything wrong after some standard blood work. They pretty much said "We don't know, could be pancreatitis maybe but not sure" and left it at that. So this weekend, I decided to try Doc-Side and brought Amelia in for an emergency visit around 12pm on Saturday. I had called in advance so they knew I was coming and allowed me to come in even though they close at 1:30pm on Saturdays. We were checked in and seated in a room immediately. The nurse came in and took down some basic info and did a quick check on Amelia. Then Dr. Tierney came in about 20-30 minutes later to perform a more in depth exam. Dr. Tierney performed the most detailed exam I've ever seen. Our other vet had barely done the type of physical checks I'd seen her perform. They then took her back for testing. The estimate for all recommended services was clearly explained to me and I didn't feel pressured into anything. I got a call on my way home that the pancreatitis test was negative. And then by Monday morning, I got a call saying her bloodwork hasn't revealed anything specific yet so we'll continue to do some tests to find out what the problem could be. That said, I have more confidence in Dr. Tierney than my other vet given the care and detail with which she approached the situation. She explained everything in depth and does her best to create a "no-fear" atmosphere for each pet. I would recommend taking notes or asking to record her as she is more of an auditory person than a note-taker.

I found this to be a much better option! My dog feels much more comfortable because she is at home, and Dr. Anna, Kate and her vet tech, Javier, are both amazing. As I mentioned, I am disabled. I am visually impaired, so Dr. Anna, Kate and her vet tech took extra time to explain what they were doing in case I wasn't able to tell. They took extra time to tell me all of my different options to help my dog, who suffers from chronic allergies, and itches all the time. The cost of a checkup and the medication's are comparable to those of my local vet. The only additional charge is the travel fee. However, for me, it is definitely worth it because of the convenience. However, they also offer a program you can sign up for that helps to cover this cost. Dr. Anna Kate was kind enough to tell me a little about it during their visit today and I plan on looking into it. Dr. Anna, Kate, and Javier are both incredibly kind and compassionate and very professional. They answered all of my questions, and never once made me feel like they were rushing. They took their time with my dog, and we're very loving with her. I highly recommend this mobile vet service. You will not find two more compassionate and amazing people than Dr. Anna Kate and Javier! (I tried to take a selfie with them, but did not realize my phone was on portrait mode.

I WILL be reporting DR. PINEAU to the state board and I advise everyone who has had this kind of…read morenegative experience to do the same. He should not be allowed to provide any kind of veterinarian services if this is how he chooses to conduct himself. Took my dog in because he was feeling sick and not eating in February. Dr. Pineau (the ONLY doctor who works there) said he had a high white blood cell count and was trying to fight off an infection. Sent us home with antibiotics. As my dog is taking the antibiotics he's still not eating, so I call back about that, Pineau gives me prednisone. I go for a follow up appointment and get another blood test done, and he says my dog is still battling this infection with a high WBC, gives me a different kind of antibiotic and tells me to keep him on the prednisone. All the while my dog's eating has still been low, and at this point he's lost like 10-15lbs. I go for another follow up, but this time my dog's legs are hurting him really bad, like he won't even walk. So Pineau takes him in the back, gives him two pain shots (without consulting me) and comes back and tells me the pain is in his hind legs, and that the shots should help, and that I should give him pain pills for 2 weeks. Two days later I get the blood test results and Pineau says his WBC is good now, my dog should be all better if he just keeps taking the pain pills. The next morning I wake up and my dogs back legs are so weak he can't even walk. I take him to an ER and the ER doc gets my medical records and is SHOCKED by the fact that my dog had been SEVERELY anemic the entire time I was taking him to Dr. Pineau and he NEVER said anything about it. Not only that, the white blood cell count that he was so worried about? Wasn't even in the high range until my 2nd blood test. She scanned my dog's bladder to see if she needed to put in a catheter (because he couldn't stand to pee), and found his spleen was riddled with nodules (presumably tumors), and said that all of these things are signs of a cancer in the blood, and that my dog would have a few months left at best... So I had to put him down ONE DAY after Dr. Pineau said he was perfectly fine. This vet is a disgusting human being who stole the last little bit of time I had with my dog because he lied straight to my face with no remorse. I'm not sure if it was because my dog was a rottweiler, or I was a young black woman who he thought was just too dumb to know any better, or if he just didn't care, or a combination of all three. P.S. To the nice lady at the front desk who always remembered my name and my dog and when our appointments were? You're the best. Please find another place to work because I won't stop until I've gotten justice for my dog and myself.

UNPLEASANT & VERY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE…read more After reading most of the relevant reviews on this hospital, it appears they used to be good, but the service has declined after certain doctors left this practice. I experienced that today with both doctors, Dr. Pineau & Dr. Bradley. Both doctors are extremely unprofessional, dismissive, rude and disrespectful. My 12 year old, 10lb chihuahua required service. When I made the appointment, I informed the receptionist that he is aggressive (as many of chihuahuas are) however she did not give any specific instructions while making the appointment. When I arrived and checked in, I asked the receptionist and vet tech if they wanted me to muzzle him before they took him back. The vet tech went back and gave me a long leash and I told her I did not know how to use that as a muzzle, so she took him back with no muzzle. I heard my dog struggling in pain with them in the back, then Dr. Bradley brought him back in the room VERY hostile telling me I am going to have to take him else where because he is trying to bite the staff... When I tried to speak and tell her that I offered to muzzle him multiple times, and the vet tech stated, "it was ok", she then kept interrupting me while I was trying to talk. She then asked me where he was seen and has any other vet hospital declined services. When I told me no, she then asked, "Well why did you come here". This woman wanted to argue because she apparently hates her job. It makes zero sense that they will decline services to a 10 lb, 12 yr old chihuahua but literally while I was getting checked in, they did not decline service to a 60-70lb shepherd that came in with a e-collar growling. That dog is larger and came in the lobby growling. My dog did not growl not once in the lobby, he's only aggressive towards anyone handling him so make it make sense. I had to tell her to let me talk because I am the client for her to finally shut up for a second so I could talk. I expressed how she was wrong for coming in the room hostile without offering options such as we will bring out an e-collar, muzzle or do the services in the room to allow the owner to handle/restrain the dog. After she finally got the correct type of muzzle and brought in the room, she already made everything hostile and was still being rude to me, I was not going to allow those people to service my dog from that point. I went back to the front and asked to speak with another doctor or manager. She took me back to the room where I tried to report how rude Dr. Bradley was towards me but Dr. Pineau also got dismissive and even flicked his old hand in my face. These private owned, hole in the wall (the place literally has bullet holes in the walls) vet hospitals are the ones you want to stay away from as the can operate on their own beliefs and feelings. The franchise hospitals have to maintain professionalism, provide customer service, and work with/accommodate the clients. The doctors at Aardmore do not care. Pay for quality if you love your animals.
