I boarded my 72 lb. lab/border collie mix there when I had to fly off to Washington, DC for a week. When I took him in, they showed me a large concrete area, in which he would be kept - and said he would be walked regularly (they said) - when I came back - one day early - I found him in this tiny little cage - In which he could not even move around - and there was feces in the cage. I threatened to sue the living daylights out of them - and they said - you don't have to pay us. Thanks! Use this place at your dog's own peril. As for me and my dog - Never Again! Read Less

The care each and every vet shows for all the animals you bring into this location is beyond amazing. They are very friendly and treat your animal as if they were their best friend. I like bringing my dog to this location for this reason. They offer a small selection of premium dog and cat foods. The staff is knowledgeable, although we have never had to bring any pet in for any serious issue for the basics they are top notch. Read Less

This vet is consistently good quality and affordable. Dr. Fairburn and Dr. Robertson are so gentle, patient and good with animals & their humans. My dog is 11 and I always feel so good about taking him here. Recently my dog had eye surgery, it went really well and he healed super well. Follow ups were thorough and helpful. Thanks team!!

Been waiting over 90 minutes in a room. They said I was next 90 mins ago.  There goes my Saturday.   Have a newborn at home and places to be.  Not cool.  One time I came here for a tooth extraction and they pulled the wrong tooth.   Wow.   If I ever get seen great. But imma try my best to never come back to this ship hole Read Less

My daughter insisted that I bring my elderly Standard Schnauzer to McCormick after Banfield insisted that diarrhea was, "the new normal." The excellent vets at McCormick got the diarrhea under control, immediately. I credit McCormick with giving us two additional years with our sweet one...we are very grateful! Read Less

I really thought this was going to be a great place. But, I was wrong. Dr. Roberts could not have been more incorrect in his diagnosis. My usually good eater 15 year old dog, suddenly stopped eating, so I brought her in. They took her blood work, and he did a full examination. He said she seemed fine, and he recommended that I make her boiled chicken and rice. I took her home and boiled the chicken, and she barely touched it. Two days later, he called and said her bloodwork was fine, and that she was 15, so she probably would have more health problems and that was natural. That was it. I was more worried by her sad mood, so two days later I took her to a vet which my sister goes to for her dogs. Immediately, the vet sensed something was wrong when he did the physical exam. He said she had an enlarged spleen, and after reviewing the radiology which they did right there, he said she had cancer and did not have long to live. Five days later, she went blind and died in my arms. Dr. Roberts inaccurate diagnosis cost me another visit to a more competent vet, who even after radiology and drugs to make her comfortable, his bill was half of just the office visit with Dr. Roberts.  I paid twice as much at McCormick and received half of the services that my sister's veterinarian provided. If he had been accurate, I would have immediately known something was wrong and my poor, sweet dog would not have been in unnecessary pain. I will never go back there. Read Less

As a long-time client whose cats have received excellent care throughout their long lives, I heartily recommend McCormick Animal Hospital. Drs. Claus, Fairbairn, and Roberts are pet-people through and through -- professionally and personally. They're also extremely generous, not only with their treatment skills but also in sharing their time, knowledge, experience, and compassion. Anyone who expects "slickness" won't be happy here. In fact, I don't think the place has changed much over the decades I've been coming here. But it's always, always clean and "homey." McCormick is a place where superficial features are passed over in favor of quality affordable treatment. The kindness and consideration my cats and I continue to receive there is invaluable.

Dr. Pat and her Staff were so kind and compassionate with my elderly dog. As other reviewers have noted, they don't do anything excessive, other than what the animals need. Their price was reasonable and their service was excellent. They are one of the best clinics in the area. Read Less

I had a pretty horrible experience taking my cat to McCormick for routine yearly exam and vaccines. This was my first appointment with McCormick, and I didn't feel welcome, nor do I think my cat received great care. I listened to the receptionists bad mouth clients and one seemed put out when I asked for a basic vaccine certificate - which was literally a hand written post card that they had to cross off one type of vaccine to write in rabies - very professional.  A dog peed by the front desk shortly after I got there and no one had cleaned it up by the time I'd left (about 25 minutes later) even though several people told the receptionists about it. I saw Dr. Fairburn, I believe. She didn't introduce herself to me and I only saw half her name on her coat.  The tech came in and took the cat out of the carrier with the door to the exam room wide open to the hall out to the lobby. The doctor did a quick once over on my cat, not a full exam, did the vaccines quickly and we put the cat back in the carrier. It took less than 5 minutes. At this point I just really wanted to leave so I didn't ask the vet to do a more thorough exam. I didn't leave feeling like my cat's health was a priority. If you need quick vaccines, and don't mind rude receptionists or a smelly, dirty office, this place might work for you. If you're looking to establish a veterinarian, I'd look elsewhere. Read Less

I take my two dogs here. Always f4iendly and very helpfull. D r. Fairbain is one of the best. From my nine year old lab who needed xrays and meds, to my 3 month old berneese, they know animals. Would recomend them to anyone. Yes you pay what you get. I'd rather pay a little more and get correct help, than save a buck... TWO OUT OF THREE PAWS UP!!!! Read Less

I can say with full confidence that Dr. Claus, who first took my ailing, 16 year old kitten as a walk-in, was and is the world's way of bringing care and comfort to our family when we need it most. McCormick is unlike other veterinary hospitals. Trust me. It doesn't look like anything fancy, and it's not. It's just skilled, honest, genuine, fair and, as appropriate, will never give up before it's time. We'd visited other vets and fancy clinics, and not a single one comes close to the quality of care that Dr. Claus offered my baby. Read Less

I needed my dog neuter and it was to expensive for my tight budget. I called the Anticruelty Society and they charged me $125 dollar's. Now that was reasonable for me and also the staff were very friendly. Read Less

They were absolutely wonderful in helping me with my cat. They saved a piece of my heart with all the hard work they did, and I know I couldn't have done better without them. If you have a pet in need of treatment, let them know. Their staff really does care and will do everything they can to help you. Thank you McCormick Animal Hospital!! <3 Read Less

Don't let the he funky decor fool you. I am on my second generation of dogs here. DR.Roberts cured my lab / malamute mix of a nasty case of mange, I had tried 4 other vets before them. Now they are helping me with my 3 lb. fully grown chorkie. Love these guys! Read Less

I have been taking my pets here for nearly 30 years or more. This docs have always been kind, sympathetic and informative. They always explain every thing in complete detail and Dr. Roberts surgeries have always left my pets in good shape. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. from Oreo & Ginger. You're the best! Read Less

Well Dr. Roberts must have done something right....Hoagie, the Beagle we adopted from CARE in January of 1995 who was estimated to be approx. 6 yrs. old then, is still alive thanks to Dr. Roberts, and the subsidized heartworm treatments that he received there. (3 of them was probably more than he was expecting would be needed). I'm writing this in June of 2007. Does that make Hoagie 18 yrs. old? Well, even if it doesn't, What a lucky dog!! Hoagie makes great friends at his new vet in Rockville, Maryland, every time he goes in for something. (Last word was he has developed a malignant tumor on the back of his tongue, partially successfully removed when discovered during last teeth cleaning. But he's doing well, and we are watching it, and he is happy geriatric pooch now, that's all I can say. Read Less
