I can't say enough about what a lovely place this is! The staff is so helpful and responsive and the doctors seem to truly care. I also feel like I can trust that I am going to get good advice and won't be taken advantage of financially. It is not particularly close by my house but I will be going here from now on none the less! Read Less

Very knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring team.  I would never go anywhere else.  I have been going here for years.  The doctors always have been gentle, kind, and willing to give you options (if there are) to deal with your pet's situation.  They always educate you on your at-home care, and help you with affordable options when needed.  I have received calls to check on my pets periodically.  Overall, it is the sincerity and kindness that truly shines.  My parents came here to bring our family dogs here before I was born....   And now years later, I continue the tradition not because I have to--it is where I feel my pets are cared for like family Read Less

Both Dr Youssef and Dr Anis are so incredibly knowledgeable in their field. There aren’t enough characters allowed to write out full stories of how many times they’ve saved me SOOOO much money when other vets were stumped and blindly running tests. They also saved my MIL’s dogs leg after PET ER said it HAD to be amputated. I have so many other times I could share but it’s always the same... these two vets are super friendly, patient, fair and compassionate.Read Less

I drive over an hour to take my pets here.  I have tried vets in my area but non are a good, and prices here are reasonable.  The Doctors really  care about my animals and call and check up on them to make sure they are doing well.  I wouldn't go any where else even if I have to drive a ways to get there. Read Less

This is by far the best animal hospital I have taken my baby to. Both vets are super nice and very knowledgeable. Their prices are resonable and they won’t do unnecessary procedures just to try to make an extra buck off of you. I highly recommend. Go to their facebook and see all the positive reviews on there too. Read Less

I found this veterinary practice shortly after moving to this area last year- we brought our dog here for the last year of his life and it was a godsend. This is a small practice with only 2 veterinarians so I feel like they truly know me. They are always able to get you in for an appointment and take calls when any questions come up. A few months ago when our dog was diagnosed with cancer they went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and knowledgeable about the di...agnosis and options - the compassion they showed us during this time was above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Dr. Yousef was very honest and didn't recommend aggressive treatment or surgery at our dog's age (almost 13). We made the mistake of seeing a specialist who pushed this type of treatment and the complications of the treatment ended his life, not the cancer. We wished we had listened to Dr. Yousef - he truly cares about what is best for the animal, not the money involved in additional treatment. For the weeks our dog was in the ER, Dr. Yousef and Dr. Anis kept in close touch with the Pet ER and me daily. I felt so guilty for putting our dog through treatment that Dr. Youself did not recommend, but he never once made me feel bad about it, only comforting me and trying to redirect me for blaming myself explaining I only wanted to do what was best and empathized with my feelings - This is a skill that cannot be taught and speaks to his gentle and kind demeanor. The genuine concern we felt from Padonia Hospital is something we will never forget and we couldn't feel more blessed to have these vets in our life. I don't know how we would have gotten through this time without them. We have since adopted another dog and they continue to take great care of her and we couldn't imagine bringing her anywhere else!

We are forever grateful for Dr. Youssef and the staff at Padonia Veterinary Hospital. Our dog Rufus was extremely sick, but with the care, knowledge and compassion, he is back to normal. This veterinary office is willing to work with you, and you know that they are there to care for your furry family member. They are kind, gentle and are willing to take the time with you. I highly recommend this office, and I wish the medical community for humans were this caring. Read Less

Dr. Youssef and the entire staff at Padonia Veterinary are the absolute best. Our dog Rufus was severely ill & the compassion, intelligence and care he provided was beyond wonderful. I have been taking dogs to veterinarians for years, and there is not a big enough word in the dictionary as to how caring, kind and thoughtful Dr. Youssef is. Read Less

I took my cat here for the first time to have his leg looked at due to a severe limp and the pain he was in. I typically would take my pets to Banfield but for a situation like this, I wanted to take him somewhere that was more focused on doing what is necessary instead of doing what they can to get money out of you. I had prepared myself for the Dr to say xrays would be needed. However, I was surprised when that didn't happen. Dr Youssef did a thorough examination (much to my cat's dismay lol) and determined it was most likely a type of hip dysplasia and xrays would most likely show the same thing. He gave my kitty a steroid shot and gave me pain meds for my kitty just in case. He said they'd do xrays only if my kitty wasn't doing better within 2 weeks. Well. It has been 5 days and my kitty is doing so so so much better. He's back to being him- going where he wants and when he wants in our house. He can finally comfortably sit in front of the water bowl and his food bowl. I'm so grateful to Padonia and will def be taking my kitty there from now on Read Less

I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Youssef, Dr. Anis and the staff. They are patient, kind, caring, and loving. The entire practice goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are well cared for. They call to check on my pets after visits and have genuine concern for their well-being. Sometimes I wish I was a dog so that when I need a check-up I can go here! Read Less

Both the Dr and Staff at Padonia Vetinary hospital are the kindest, knowledgeable, compassionate, and willing office I have ever experienced. Dr. Youseff was so gentle and kind to not only my 2 pound chihuahua, but to me, a worried pet owner, as well. Taking the time to explain everything, and answer all of my questions Dr. Youseff and the staff made me feel completely comfortable and at ease after a HORRIBLE experience at another vetinary office in Owings Mills. I cannot thank the Dr and his team enough! Read Less

After a horrible experience at another vet- I was overcome with happiness after finding the lovely people at Padonia to help take care of my 2 pound chihuahua. Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, AFFORDABLE, and always willing to answer questions. I will never go anywhere else! Read Less

Our family has been going to Padonia Veterinary Hospital for probably over 30 years and I have always felt this practice has utmost compassion, concern and respect for the animals they treat and their families. Dr. Youssef, Dr. Anis and the staff are not only extremely skilled at veterinary medicine, but they are dedicated to offering care that is empathetic, gentle and kind. The practice offers the technology and services of a state-of-the-art facility while maintaining the warmth of a small old-fashioned office. I recently brought our very sick 14-year-old westie, Baxter, in late on a Friday afternoon. After examining Baxter, Dr. Youssef found that Baxter€s kidneys were gravely compromised. With immediate surgery, the condition could hopefully be reversed. Dr. Youssef gave a thorough explanation of the situation and we discussed several options and potential outcomes. Doctor and staff stayed late into the evening to perform emergency surgery. I can€t remember Dr. Youssef€s exact words, but when I left Baxter for surgery, he wanted to assure me that by leaving him in his hands he understood that I was trusting him with the care of a precious part our family and that he assumed the responsibility to do everything he could for Baxter to the best of his ability as if Baxter were his own family. And it was apparent that he really meant it. After a painstaking and exhaustive surgery with a 50/50 chance of survival, Baxter is recovering remarkably. He has even started running up the flight of stairs, something he hasn€t done in years. And we are very grateful to Dr. Youssef, Dr. Anis and the staff for their compassionate care of Baxter during surgery and recovery. The cost of surgery was quite reasonable, but an unexpected expense and it was made clear that did not need to be a deciding factor and that the practice was more than willing to make flexible payment arrangements. It is very apparent that this is not just a profession for Drs. Youssef and Anis, but they have dedicated their lives to the welfare of animals and their families. Read Less

I could not be more impressed with Padonia Veterinary.. This practice truly is top notch!From their amazing customer service to Dr. Anis and Dr. Shortalls extensive knowledge in caring for animals they are wonderful. Their bedside manner is kind and warm as well as their prices are affordable and the office is conveniently located right off York Rd. with plenty of parking. I could not recommend this practice anymore.. If your looking to place your beloved animal in great hands this is it! Read Less

Padonia Veterinary Hospital staff are truly amazing people. I brought our cat Leo who developed bladder stones less than a year old. He was cared for for five days and unfortunately passed away. However, the staff kept us informed through the whole process and did everything in there power to save him. They are reasonable prices and would give them a 5 stars review to anyone who has pets.

I have an American cinnamon lovebird, and he has been acting strange for the last 2 days. He is fluffed up and closes his eyes most of the time. In fact, he falls asleep all the time even my other lovebird ( same kind) doesn't do any of that. My sick lovebird however still eats and breathes all right but there is something definitely wrong with him Read Less

I switched to Padonia Veterinary after feeling abused by staff and Drs at Hunt Valley Animal Hospital. Boy, what a difference. The staff and Drs her are very helpful, friendly and compassionate. They are truly in this field because they care for animals. I feel so fortunate to have found them. Read Less

The very best!!! The doctors and staff at Padonia Vet are a loving and dedicated group of people. I trust them to do what is best for my Dahlia and Iris. Clearly, they are motivated by their love of animals. I would not take my loved ones to any other place! Thank you Padonia Vet!! Read Less

Best veterinary clinic ever!!! Dr. Anis and Dr. Youseff are awesome! They will do whatever they can to make your pet feel better. Affordable as well. Great welcoming staff. My little dogs go to Dr.Anis and they love him! I highly recommend this place. Read Less

I've been going here for about two years and they take amazing care of our boxer, but recently our cat had to have surgery and they did and amazing job! She is so happy and healthy now, they even threw in a little teeth cleaning and tummy tuck. I'm so greatful! Read Less

Our little girl Brownie (we suspect) had fallen and busted her own face on the ground, breaking her front-right canine and giving herself a rather nasty little infection. We caught it pretty early, and gave Padonia Vet Hospital a call that morning. The receptionist was super pleasant, and even though she mentioned they had a super tight schedule, she was able to squeeze us in that same afternoon! When we arrived, we were at least 30 minutes early, but the Veterinary and the Vet Tech were ready for us almost as soon as we walked through the front door. The doctor was very attentive, and listened to every word my partner and I had to say, and was very sweet and gentle with our cat. The doctor knew exactly what to do, and was very informative! We were given a little antibiotic, and scheduled dental surgery. She was put under anesthesia, and was taken care of within an hour of me dropping her off! The Vet Tech/Receptionist gave me not one, but two follow-up calls! One to let us know her surgery was all done and she was safely resting, and another the day after we picked her up and took her home! AMAZING SERVICE! Also, I think it's worth mentioning it didn't break the bank like most vet trips seem to do! I want to stress how friendly and professional the staff are, and I feel so much safer knowing I have a reliable doctor within a few miles that I can take our little girl to see. 5/5 Stars!! Read Less

This review is long overdue. I have been taking my dog here since he was a pup four years ago. Going to the vet can be frightening for any animal, but the staff at Padonia vet hospital are knowledgeable and every time I've gone they have handled my dog gently and with patience. When I moved into a new apartment, there was a weight restriction and my dog was 5 lbs over the limit. I obtained a note from the vet stating that my dog needed to lose 5 lbs to be at his standard weight thus allowing my furry buddy to meet the weight requirement! Thanks Padonia vet!! Read Less

If any one is looking for a kind, caring , and knowledgeable vet, look no further. We recently lost our dog of 14 years. Pet lovers know this is an extremely difficult time. Dr. Youssef took care of our Diesel, like he was his own dog. He is courteous, caring and professional. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Youssef for his care during this heartbreaking time. Read Less

Padonia Vet is amazing. Everyone that works here is so accommodating and kind, the care provided by Drs. Youssef and Anis is top notch, and their business hours are great for anyone who's on a tight schedule or can't afford to take time out of their busy work day to take their cat or dog to the vet. Services are incredibly affordable and it's apparent that everyone who works here really cares about your pet. Even though I no longer live right down the road like I did when I began taking my cats here, I'll continue taking my little fur friends here because I'm confident that I won't find a more caring, affordable, friendly vet anywhere else. Read Less

Dr. Youssef took excellent care of our dog, who required a major surgery to remove mast cell tumors. We are very thankful to Dr. Youssef and his staff for taking care of our baby girl, who is is recovering expeditiously. We chose Dr. Youssef for the surgery because our original vet was unable to perform the surgery as necessary. We are impressed with the good-natured demeanor, detailed medical explanations, and positive surgical results of Dr. Youssef, that we have decided to continue to work with the team at Padonia Veterinary Hospital going forward for our dog's health. And, we are coming all the way from Downtown Baltimore! I'd say that means something! Read Less

My wife and I started taking our dog and cat to Padonia Vet Hospital a year and a half ago, and we are very happy. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they have squeezed us in when needed, and they really helped improve the health of our dog. Six months ago We were worried we may have to put him down, but after some through tests and trying a different medicine, our dog is in great shape. On top of all of this, their rates are the best I've found in the area. I used to pay MUCH more at another vet in this area. I highly recommend Padonia Veterinary Hospital!! Read Less

This place is amazing! They treated my 3 year old sick cat and he has no problem with staying here for 3 days! I felt very comfortable with keeping him there for some time. Also, the staff is great and are very very polite. The doctors treated my baby well, and are very caring. Thank you, Padonia Animal Hospital staff!! Read Less

Only take your pet here if you don't care whether they live or die. I took my 9yo cat in last summer because for about a week he had been eating much less. One of the new doctors told me his "decreased appetite" was a good thing because he was too fat (at 15lbs and a large breed). He even said he should go on a diet and prescribed him an expensive diet food that they just happened to have available for purchase in house. I got a second opinion at Hillendale Animal Hospital because I was worried. The Hillendale vet said not eating was NOT normal, and prescribed him an appetite stimulant and a weak antibiotic, wanting to rule out the most likely - inflammatory bowel disease or parasites. Over the next few weeks we were in and out of the office a few times and he only got worse, getting to the point where I had to force-feed him baby food with a syringe. Urine and fecal tests came back with nothing, so they ordered an xray/ultrasound. Turned out the poor guy had a mass in his spleen. We had the spleen removed at a surgery center and it was cancerous. They gave him 3 months to live because of the kind of cancer, but it's been a year and he's still kicking. Long story short, we went to Padonia because of Dr. Shortall, but the vet who replaced him after he retired is absolutely useless and I'm frankly not sure how he even has a license. Really, how could you think not eating was a good thing? Read Less

We started with Dr. Shortall shortly before he retired. Dr. Youssef has taken absolutely wonderful care of our two dogs ever since. Our youngest broke her leg at 6 months old and he has gotten us through every limp, suture removal, and emergency visit along the way. He really understands our dogs' needs and explains everything in a way that me and my husband understand as well. I have complete confidence in Dr. Youssef and would recommend Padonia Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for quality vet care. Read Less

This is a wonderful veterinary practice.  When I first started taking my dog here, I saw Dr. Shortall - I read great reviews about him online.  He retired and now both of the new vets (Dr. Anis and Dr. Youssef) are also top notch.  They know what they are doing and really care about your pet.  The building is kind of dated but that doesn't matter, they have everything that your pet needs and most importantly, don't rip you off.  Two thumbs up! Read Less

I cannot say enough about Dr. Youssef- I have a very sick Yorkie who was doing well for 2 years with kidney problems heart problems and a few other issues he took a turn for the worse yesterday and I called Dr Youssef for help he called and I picked up an additional medication.earlier this afternoon. tonight, My dog, Boomer, vomited and couldn't stop coughing which is a symptom of his worsening heart problem. at around 7:45, Dr. Youseff called to see how he was and when I told him what was happening, he asked me if I could bring him in right then as he was concerned that his condition may turn into an emergency situation and wanted to check him over to make sure exactly what shape he was in. I was so relieved when he called as I was so worried that he would get worse over night and I'd have to take him to an emergency room. He checked him out, explained what was happening and did a few things to help him breath better until I can get him in to stay for the day tomorrow for additional treatments, I could not believe how concerned Dr, Y was-he is very kind and compassionate and went above and beyond to be sure Boomer was getting everything possible to help him. I am touched and so thankful to know him and to be able to take all of my dogs to him for care. Thank you so much, Dr Youseff. Donna and Bill LindsayRead Less

Could not be happier with my decision to switch over to PVH! Dr. Anis is fantastic and I am so grateful to him and his staff for helping solve my dog's medical conditions. The staff are the sweetest vet techs I have ever met and truly do treat my dog like their own. They offer extremely fair pricing as well. Just like us pet owners they want the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to treat your animals without doing unneeded costly procedures. Wonderful veterinary hospital, I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who owns a pet! Read Less

I was very comfortable with taking my cats to see the doc there. Both of my cats have had upper respiratory problems and they knew right away what it was. Then they gave us a prescription to clear it up and they both are recovering very well.Read Less

I cannot say enough about the Vets and staff at Padonia. My pets saw Dr. Shortall for over a decade and I was not looking forward to a change. But WOW Dr. Youseff and Dr. Anis surprised me with how awesome they are. They are truly two of the best vets I have ever known. Dr. Youseff recently had to amputate my kitten's leg and thanks to the caring vets and staff he recovered amazingly. I have been telling everyone I know how awesome Padonia is! Read Less

I took our dog here in the summer for a check up and in hopes of switching vets for convenience and cost. I brought his records to get him up to date on any necessary shots. I was verbally advised that he would need follow up shots but felt weary about their record keeping system which was written notes on index cards. They didn't send any reminders but I called in November  and was told he was fine. I decided to continue using our old vet and scheduled an appointment because we received their reminder for a shot. I asked Padonia to fax over his records from the single visit. It turned into a debacle because Padonia could not definitely say what he received. I was first told he got a rabies shot, the vet was told he had a Lepto shot and when I called I was told a Lymes shot. Considering I called in June, I was told the wrong thing then and now my dog was overdue for several shots inclusions rabies. How hard is it, in 2014 going on 2015, to keep an accurate record keeping system? We're dealing with the health of our pets. Very shoddy system and what's even more disappointing is the apathetic staff when you try to straighten things out. We're going back to our old vet. Read Less

I called Friday afternoon for an ichy dog & was able to be seen sat morning. When we arrived, the receptionist let us know that Dr Anis was running a bit behind due to an emergency so we walked next door for a bite to eat and were seen a half an hour later as promised. An hour later we were out the door with prescription all for less than $100. We definitely recommend Dr Anis and his patient & caring staff. Read Less

Padonia Veterinary Hospital is amazing and really cat about you and your pets. Dr. Anis and Dr Youssef are an amazing team. My cat "bashful"was in declining health and both these veterinarians were involved in her care. What is exceptional about them is their caring and going above the call of duty. "ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO BE LEARNING FROM MY PATIENTS. Is what Dr Youssef informed me today when he consulted another vet who specialized in hyperthyroidism on treatment of Bashful's condition .. Most vets would have referred me to see the specialist and not take to do this. On several occasions I was able to do a phone consults and they made me feel special in their genuine caring to help Bashful in her treatment. Roberta, Donna, and Tracey are great office staff and work hard and diligently to make sure you and your pet are taken care of. THANK-YOU PADONIA VETERINARY HOSPITAL FOR BEING THERE!!Read Less

Love these vets and hospital. Dr. Anis saved my beagle mix (Patches RIP) life many times. You see patch was always getting in trouble between running off n getting hit by cars and eating things to big n not good for him Dr. Anis was always their for us. Dr. Youssif is a great vet as well when I didn't see Dr. Anis Dr. Y was my man :). These 2 wonderful, caring people will always be my vets for all my pets. For those wondering patches had a stroke at the age of 19years old. He wouldn't of made it that long if not for these vets by his side for all those years. Read Less

Honestly never had better care. It's actual a hospital  which  A is not over priced and B go above and beyond to figure out what was wrong with my dog. Dr. Anis is awesome he knows his stuff he is a Dr DoLittle. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!!! Read Less

I had a terrible experience at this vets office. As a whole, the office is very outdated, the staff usually pronounced my dog's name wrong and referred to her as a him, but I only went here twice and twice was enough. The first time I went I met a veterinarian who was relatively nice, but told me my dog's knee cap was slipping out of place and she needed surgery.I went back about two weeks later when my dog was scratching a lot and had a mild UTI. I  met Dr. Anis the second time who had terrible bedside manor. He immediately told me my dog was blind and there was nothing we could do about it. He wasn't very comforting to me or my dog. He also proceeded to tell me her ears were red and inflamed to which I noted that I was there about her allergies. He gave my dog two shots without explanation, I had to ask what they were for and why he was giving them to her. He gave me a medication for a UTI but proceeded to tell me that he really hoped the medication would work but he wasn't sure, it could be something much more serious like liver disease and we would have to do x-rays.While he was listening to her heart beat, he held her mouth shut and covered her nose, and I had to watch while he prevented my dog from breathing. I have NEVER seen any other vet do this before, and I'm pretty sure this is why stethoscopes exist is so the doctor can hear. There was no need to cover my dog's breathing.At the end of the appointment he asked if I had been there before, I said I had been there two weeks before, so he pulled out the antiquated index card used to keep my dog's records and saw that the last vet noted that my dog needed knee surgery. He told me that he didn't notice this, but also seemed shocked that the last vet didn't notice my dog's eyes.Dr. Anis then told me that my dog didn't need the knee surgery and that should would just limp the rest of her life, but she could live with it, but that surgery wasn't necessary. At this point I didn't know who to believe, so I told the doctor that I was done and wanted to leave.I left with two shots in my dog, 4 prescriptions, and two life-threatening diagnoses, and a totally different opinion on surgery. I am now taking my dog somewhere else to get a second opinion and to have better care. This was by-far the worst experience I have ever had at any vet's office. Read Less

We just started taking our dog here. We saw Dr. Anis. He was very friendly and handled our little vicious doggy with care and compassion. My wife and I actually came here on a reference from one of her friends.  We initially came here because we felt like our other vet was taking advantage of us and misdiagnosing our puppy to sell us expensive meds and procedures.  I told Dr. Anis about what the other vet was saying and doing... he just shook his head.  He prescribed our little puppy some medication that was a quarter of the price and he healed right up.     The hospital might come off as a little out dated but they have everything to take care of your little family member just right.   Bottom line.....  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!  In fact, referred 4 of my neighbors to this animal hospital in which a of them are very happy. I only wish I knew about this place sooner but that's why I'm on here spreading the word. Read Less

We have used this veternarian for over 20 years. He is compassionate and caring and the animals have done very well with him. He has even seen a pet rodent for one of our daughters.

You have to get to know him because he is reserved, the animals are his prime concern and he does an excellent job with them. Read Less
