Adams Morgan Animal Hospital

I love this veterinary office! They care about people's pets and are very reasonable in the price they charge. I love Dr. Boone Sr, Dr. Boone Jr. and Dr. Madden! They are each wonderful. All the technicians and the receptionist - the entire office is A+ Read Less

Rex has been visiting the clinic since he was a puppy and now he is a senior dog. He is one of the best customers as he has so many issues and surgeries taken care of at the Adams Morgan Animal Hospital. Both senior and junior Dr. Boone, Dr. Madden, Erica, Betsy, and all the staff are just amazing. I would not trust anyone else with my dog and he loves coming there all the time. Thank you for being awesome for the last 12 years with Rex! Read Less

I love my vet! The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. When my sweet labrador was ill they were compassionate & understanding and worked to make sure he got better quickly. I highly recommend them! Read Less

This place is the best vet clinic I've ever been to.  Most vet clinics care about animals for sure; what sets this place apart is how much time the vet takes to explain to you what's going on.  Most vet clinics I've dealt with just say whether or not my animal has a problem.  They don't bother to tell you that certain things should really be monitored and although test results are in acceptable range, you really should be watching for x because y is a little elevated.  Not here. In fact, the vets also seemed to have thoroughly reviewed my cat's medical history; most places don't don't even ask for medical records from other places.p.s. I second/third other reviews here praising Dr. Boone (sr I guess). He's amazing! Read Less

I will be forever grateful to the entire staff at Adams Morgan Animal Hospital. We have an 80 lb chow who doesn't like to be poked, he's a bit of a nervous nelly. But the staff make us feel so welcome bringing him in, they welcome him and recognize that he's a sweet boy who just comes with some challenges. In testament of how well Grover is treated there, every time we walk past the office Grover tries to run up the stairs to go into the office. How often do you hear of a dog doing that? Thank you Drs Boone and Betsy! You're irreplaceable. Read Less

Dr. Boone (the father) will always hold a very special place in my heart. After my dog Wellington had a seizure, I rushed him to the nearest veterinarian (as I was visiting from NYC). Dr. Boone carefully walked me through every test, every result. He studied the x-rays and ultrasound and microscope with me at his side. He sat with me for extended periods and talked through the difficult options to consider. I've never seen better bedside manner -- even from a medical doctor. Dr. Boone and I were together as I had to say goodbye to the dog i loved. His wisdom, transparency and genuine concern meant the world to me. Read Less

Where do I even start? I have taken both my dogs and my mother's dog here, too, for years, because it is a black owned business and that's important to me. But based on the behavior of the younger vet (his dad is also a vet here), where I felt physically threatened, never again. First, at the last appointment, I asked to have my dog's nails clipped and the vet tech was super careless. I kept saying he was cutting into the quick and he just kept cutting making my dog's nails bleed profusely - which got all over my car and then all over my carpet when I returned home. But this is the straw that broke the camel's back, I rescued my dog from Rappahanock county in Virginia where the rescue said he had been wandering the countryside. As a result, he cameto me with Lyme disease - a chronic but manageable condition. My first visit to AMAH with my dog, I was talked into getting a Lyme preventive shot. Didn't really make sense to me but he's the doctor, so... Well, I took my dog when I was home to my Mom's vet for an emergency visit, and my Mom's vet was like "why on earth is your dog getting regular Lyme shots when he HAS Lyme disease?" I also asked a friend of mine who was a vet who told me it was a scam - totally unnecessary for a dog with Lyme to get a shot to prevent something he already has. So I very nicely told the doctor at the conclusion of my last visit of what I learned and asked him why a Lyme shot was recommended for my dog when he had Lyme disease. The vet immediately got defensive saying that the other vets didn't know what they were talking about and where did they practice because they clearly weren't familiar with the ticks in the DMV. I told him even not being a vet, it just doesn't make sense to provide a shot to prevent something my dog already has. And that's when the defensiveness turned into anger and then aggression. He started moving toward me and yelling - getting closer and louder. Frankly, it scared me. I asked for my dog's medical records at that point and said I wouldn't be back. It could have easily been resolved with a one time credit as a sign of good faith but instead the vet decided to act like an aggressive, unprofessional jerk. He lost my business and I have actively discouraged people from bringing their pets here. And this is my Yelp review I promised him I would write, doing the same. Read Less

There aren't many options in the area, and I would recommend traveling elsewhere for petcare. The staff is accommodating and friendly, but was more intent on trying to sell me or force me to purchase unnecessary products. Read Less

Wonderful practice. I used to take my senior dog here and now my kitten is a happy patient. Love both Dr. Boones and Dr. Madden is great as well. The techs and the staff are friendly and informative. And Betsy is the best. I don't know what I would do without this practice! Read Less

Toi Toi has had problems with constipation and she was expensively misdiagnosed BUT all that changed when we visited the Adams Morgan Vet Hospital. She came home happy and content and indicated this was a place where a cat was respected and treated as the princess she has become since moving up the social scale from homelessness. She is really the one who made the choice but I absolutely agree. The father/son team and their staff are wonderful. We are both pleased to find this new healthily care solution. Read Less

DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!!, I was overcharged for a routine exam which led to a dispute with Dr. J, I paid almost $600 for some phantom diagnosis for my pet that I felt wasn't accurate. The bloodwork took longer than usual to receive which I thought was strange simply because he already came up with a 'diagnosis' the same day! Never had that happen before. One would think ok he's a 'Doctor' right, so he should know his stuff but actually I don't consider Vets real Dr.'s. I think it gets to there head a bit to much, I have much respect for honest and genuinely caring Vets but after going here for a few months something just didn't feel right, I took my pet to a different practice and wallah my hunch was right. I never confronted Dr. Boone about this but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. They are in a pricey area so prices are naturally higher BUT I personally feel he has to finance his lavish lifestyle as well.You know, nice cars, MULTIPLE girlfriends, flashing the bling etc. SO yes I'm upset about being ripped off of course but I also don't like the fact that I felt like hes living large at the expense of unsuspecting customers! Won't be spending another penny there ever again. Read Less

I have been a client of the AdMo Animal Hospital for more than 20 years. My current kitty is 14 and has been their patient since she joined our household. I can't speak highly enough of the doctors, technicians and staff. Each visit renews my sense that this is an exceptionally competent, caring and joyful veterinary clinic. We're fortunate to have them in the neighborhood. Read Less

I just found the Adams Morgan Animal Hospital on 18th Street. And both me & my beloved former feral cat could not be happier. Although this former homeless mother is now a princess she has left over health issues from her former life. Our previous trips for treatment have been professional but left her frightened and uneasy. She has cried loudly upon release and exited her travel carrier in a panic rush followed by nervous inspection of her home as if to see if all was still as she left it.  Yesterday she emerged with dignity looking as if the whole experience had been a welcomed trip. What had the team at Adams Morgan done?  I don't really know. But Toi Toi did. She feels much better, thank you,  and must have sensed a caring place where she was treated with the respect she deserves. I liked Dr Boone and all the staff but trust her to know this is the place we will return to next time she needs health care. Read Less

I took my 5-year-old cat in for her first vet visit since she was a kitten, and everything was great! We made an appointment and rolled in at the time, were taken care of very nicely, and everyone was very affectionate towards her. Read Less

Dr. Boone is the best vet ever! He is the smartest and most caring vet I have ever met. I have gone all over the city to different vets - from SouthPaws to CityPaws to Friendship. He is amazing. Dr. Boone is the only vet I trust! Read Less

We recently moved to DC and had an emergency with our beloved elderly (nearly 17! ) cat. We could not be more grateful to the staff at AMAH. Lovely, professional, kind and caring to us and, of course, more importantly, to our Timmy. Thank you to them, and we would recommend this wonderful group of veterinarians and staff to anyone who loves their critters. Fabulous experience, thank you !!! Read Less

My family & I have taken our pets here for years! Both Dr. Boones have always given the best care to our pets. They treat them as their own! The entire staff is friendly and efficient. We wouldn't go anywhere else! Read Less

Yesterday we said goodbye to our dog. My dog's favorite staffer, Betsy, stayed late so that she could be with us, and she and Dr. Boone (the son) handled everything so gracefully and respectfully. I'm truly grateful for their dignity yesterday, and for the wonderful care they provided to our dog over the years.Read Less

Totally love Dr. Boone--see my reviews for Adams Morgan Animal Hospital.  He is great with animals and has such a nice southern warmth.  He's also extremely communicative via telephone (post-surgery) or when your pet is in their care and will always take the time to explain various options and the costs involved.  My 16 and a half year old dog is lucky to have Dr. Boone just a few blocks away!

Yesterday was our first experience at the Adams Morgan Animal Hospital and it couldn't have gone anymore better. We took our two kittens in for a check up and shots. The staff was simply wonderful, the place was very clean, they were very professional (yet gentle and sweet), and honestly the price was just right. I see some reviews are commenting on the price but what are you expecting to pay for your fuzzy loved ones? I thought with everything being so great, I can't complain about the price. Thank you guys so much. We'll be back soon. :) Read Less

I think Dr. Boone is a nice person and I regret having to give such a low review, but he discouraged me from getting a biopsy of a group of lumps my cat had on her ribcage - saying it would be stressful for an older cat.  The lumps turned out to be cancerous although he did not think they were -- and by the time I had gotten the biopsy it was too late to help her.

I love Dr. Boone!  My cat had a gigantic abscess, and was on her way out, but Dr. Boone said he'd give it a go.  He was in surgery for over an hour working on the poor dear, and she had a difficult two-week recovery period, but in the end she pulled through and has continued to live a happy life.From several conversations with him, about my own cat and about a friend's very ill dog, it is clear that he stays current with research developments, and is willing to try new procedures. But he is also very realistic, and will not waste your time, money or emotions if the odds are tremendously against you.  And I really appreciate that.Dr. Boone is one of Adams Morgan Animals Clinics biggest assets.
