This place really helped out us out when our dog was attacked by another dog. They were able to get us in really quickly and walked us step by step thought what was going to happen. While it was expensive, it was rightfully so because she needed to be put under and received around 40 stitches. My husband and I are very thankful for the caring, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. While we hope to not need to come back here, we would if necessary.

4.5 stars. They saved my dog! Lulu required emergency surgery for an obstruction in her intestines. Dr. Worth was very calm and understanding with me when I was distraught -- she explained everything very clearly and reassured me that surgery was really our only recourse and that she had a lot of experience with this particular kind of surgery. Being a long time dog owner, I've had good and bad experiences with surgical procedures - and one particularly awful experience when my dog's incision became infected and he had to be subjected to a week of round-the-clock care with hydrotherapy at the vet - so I was very very concerned about the possibility of infection. Dr. Worth did an incredible job (at around 3 AM, too!) - she was very careful about stitching the incision -- her work was so precise and clean. Lulu has completely healed - and her abdominal scar is barely visible. This really was the best experience -- you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be in good hands. I did feel the need to subtract 1/2 a star for the reception staff -- it's hard to know who you will get - some are very kind and compassionate and others were very gruff, impatient, and, at times, condescending -- but maybe someone was having a hard day. I do want to emphasize that if Dr. Worth is the attending vet, you can be confident that your pet will be cared for. You will pay a premium for the care -- emergency medical care is always expensive -- I don't know how they handle cases in which one is unable to pay at time of service, so I can't speak to that experience.

I took my dog to the emergency clinic on Sunday morning because his stitches from an earlier surgery had split. The doctor stapled the area and sent us on our way. When less than 8 hours (despite being locked up in a 5 x7 room) 6 of the 7 staples had released and I need to bring the pet back. After waiting over an hour to be seen they tried to charge us $500 to repair the bothced staples. I refused and had it taken care of the next morning at my vet for no charge. When I called to complain, the manager offered to credit back the $27.05 for the staples, but wanted to be paid for the rest of the work. Her staff had agreed that we should seek a credit last night but today they would not admit it to their manager. Go somewhere that cares about doing a good job and not just charging for a job no matter how well they did it.

The staff was nice and friendly, but it is VERY pricey. If it is not an emergency definitely wait and take your pet to a primary vet. I took my cat there for an accident with her tail, didn't have another choice because it was late at night and an emergency, cost me close to $1000.00.

DO NOT GO！！！It is the worst experience. My cat got injured so I took her to this place. Without even checking her, the doctor said that they need to put her to sleep and x-ray. They charge me $110 for doing nothing at all. Then I took my cat to the vet. My vet checked her injury and took care her by giving her some medicine. My cat gets much better now.

The most horrible place to take your pet. My dog was obviously sick, vet said from what he could see there was nothing wrong with him. Charged me $110 to examine my pet. That was not a problem, but when I was told that did not include examining the ears that would be at an extra cost. $370 for blood work. Said my pet needed x ray's (no bones were broken) and just kept rattling off cost. I left the place after 5 minutes at $110, such a waste of money as I will have to take my pet to a more qualified vet who is not in it for the money. Don't waste your time or money going.

Tommy Gargoyle went in because he had an obstruction in his urethra. They kept him 2 nights, allowed us to visit and give him his regular medication. He was a mess, but I kept my visits short so he wouldn't get himself so worked up and continue his treatment. Our services actually came out to a total on the low end of the estimate, and he didn't end up needing surgery. They had me call through the nights he was admitted and keep updated on his situation. His aftercare instructions were very clear.

I just want to say that I am absolutely disgusted with this place. They do not care about your pet, but only the money involved. My dog swallowed a piece of a stick that got embedded in the back of his throat and the muscle at 10:30 pm. When I called to ask if they could do a payment plan, they said that payment is due at the time of service. I asked what I should do in this situation, and they said get a credit card from my bank in the morning. When I asked them what I should do since his condition was getting worse the woman told me TO CALL ANIMAL CONTROL AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT! I asked "as in putting my dog down?!" And she said "Like I said, they will take care of it." The fact they were objectifying my dog and not treating it like it was my furbaby, my family member, my only pride and joy and rather an object that merely should be put down absolutely angers me. I would never recommend this place to anyone! And be weary, their prices are much higher than other places in the area. Thankfully I went to Baltimore Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center where it was half the price and much more friendly and compassionate staff.

My dog and I had a very positive experience here. I can't thank the vets, techs and staff enough for the excellent care they provided my dog.
I ended up here at about 4 am with a vomiting, anxious dog. I called before I left home and the staff were ready for us. My dog ended up staying at the hospital about 15 hours for supportive care. The vet was always available to speak with me about my dog's prognosis. The vet techs were great at reviewing my dog's previous health history as well as home care.
Emergency care is expensive and I went in knowing that. The vet discussed every charge with me prior to doing any additional procedures/tests. They definitely understood that while my love for my dog is unlimited, unfortunately, my bank account is not. The low and high estimates provided did help ease my anxiety about the costs.
While I hope my dog never needs emergency care again, should the occasion arise, I would not hesitate to bring my dog back.

The entire staff was so kind and caring during a difficult time with our beloved elderly cat Noelle. Sadly, we came to the conclusion that it was time to end her suffering and pain. Dr. Emily Rogell took time to explain the situation and was patient with us as we dealt with the decision. We were able to stay with Noelle as she passed away peacefully with Dr. Rogell reassuring us and talking us through the procedure. After we left, I saw that she had taken the time to write a lovely note expressing her sympathy for our loss, which meant so much. You could not ask for a more nurturing environment while dealing with ill pets.

Sadly, our 12-year old Newfoundland dog had a stroke on New Year's Eve. We spoke several times with Shinequa who could not have been more kind and helpful, reiterating repeatedly that they were ready to provide whatever help we needed. The dog, in the end, passed peacefully on her own, so that we ultimately only needed help in disposing of the remains. But I really appreciated the kindness, sensitivity, and willingness to provide assistance, even on a holiday.

They are the best! We have a cat that we took there 2 weeks ago because he was looking bloated. Dr. Hendrickson drew blood but said the cat needed an ultrasound and referred us to Hope Vet Center. Later that week, our regular vet did a biopsy on the cat's liver and removed his spleen. The cat stayed at MEAC for post-op care for 3 days. Drs. Hendrickson, Cordray and Adams were so good to him and to us. They called us frequently with updates on his condition even in the middle of the night and allowed us to call whenever we needed. to. This was not cheap, but the care for our Taz was well worth any price we had to pay and we were not overcharged in any way. We were given an estimate each day showing what would be done and what it would cost. There is a wait, but ER's for humans have waits too. MEAC usually only has one vet on duty at a time.

I want to thank Dr. Schreiner and the entire team at the clinic for their incredibly professional and compassionate care for our dog Kodi and their kindness to us. Dr. Schreiner went above and beyond to help us when our lab was in his end of life stage. We were extremely impressed by the care we received and highly recommend this clinic.

DO NOT GO！！！It is the worst experience. My cat got injured so I took her to this place. Without even checking her, the doctor said that they need to put her to sleep and x-ray. They charge me $110 for doing nothing at all. Then I took my cat to the vet. My vet checked her injury and took care her by giving her some medicine. My cat gets much better now. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! They don't help and not willing to help my cat.

The most horrible place to take your pet. My dog was obviously sick, vet said from what he could see there was nothing wrong with him. Charged me $110 to examine my pet. That was not a problem, but when I was told that did not include examining the ears that would be at an extra cost. $370 for blood work. Said my pet needed x ray's (no bones were broken) and just kept rattling off cost. I left the place after 5 minutes at $110, such a waste of money as I will have to take my pet to a more qualified vet who is not in it for the money. Don't waste your time or money going.

MEAC is always there for us! We have had so many great experiences with MEAC it's hard to describe in words how wonderful it is to have them within minutes from home. Our most recent experience was a broken leg that required emergency surgery and they arranged for the best Orthopedic surgeon to come in and operate. They took wonderful care of our puppy and us! Dr. Rogell is the best!! Our previous dogs were also seen by Dr. Hendrickson who is also a wonderful vet - and he also performed an emergency surgery in the middle of the night on our little dog and saved his life! Like I said, I cannot say enough nice things about Metropolitan Emergency Animal Clinic on Nebel Street in Rockville, Md.

I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the Metropolitan Emergency Animal Clinic for putting to rest my very sick 20 year old cat (yes that's right 20). Dr. Hendrickson and Dr Rogeff treated me and my cat with the utmost respect and compassion. In the end, Norbhu passed away in my arms. I can't possible imagine a kinder or more gentle way to go. Thank you so much Doctors and to the wonderful staff.

Tommy Gargoyle went in because he had an obstruction in his urethra. They kept him 2 nights, allowed us to visit and give him his regular medication. He was a mess, but I kept my visits short so he wouldn't get himself so worked up and continue his treatment. Our services actually came out to a total on the low end of the estimate, and he didn't end up needing surgery. They had me call through the nights he was admitted and keep updated on his situation. His aftercare instructions were very clear.

I had to take my dog here last night and I was expecting to be there for hours on end and for it to cost a lot of money. To my surprise, we were only there for about an hour and a half and it cost nowhere near what I thought it was going to. They took her back right away and took good care of her. Thank you!!

I just want to say that I am absolutely disgusted with this place. They do not care about your pet, but only the money involved. My dog swallowed a piece of a stick that got embedded in the back of his throat and the muscle at 10:30 pm. When I called to ask if they could do a payment plan, they said that payment is due at the time of service. I asked what I should do in this situation, and they said get a credit card from my bank in the morning. When I asked them what I should do since his condition was getting worse the woman told me TO CALL ANIMAL CONTROL AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT! I asked "as in putting my dog down?!" And she said "Like I said, they will take care of it." The fact they were objectifying my dog and not treating it like it was my furbaby, my family member, my only pride and joy and rather an object that merely should be put down absolutely angers me. I would never recommend this place to anyone! And be weary, their prices are much higher than other places in the area. Thankfully I went to Baltimore Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center where it was half the price and much more friendly and compassionate staff.

My dog and I had a very positive experience here. I can't thank the vets, techs and staff enough for the excellent care they provided my dog.
I ended up here at about 4 am with a vomiting, anxious dog. I called before I left home and the staff were ready for us. My dog ended up staying at the hospital about 15 hours for supportive care. The vet was always available to speak with me about my dog's prognosis. The vet techs were great at reviewing my dog's previous health history as well as home care.
Emergency care is expensive and I went in knowing that. The vet discussed every charge with me prior to doing any additional procedures/tests. They definitely understood that while my love for my dog is unlimited, unfortunately, my bank account is not. The low and high estimates provided did help ease my anxiety about the costs.
While I hope my dog never needs emergency care again, should the occasion arise, I would not hesitate to bring my dog back.

The entire staff was so kind and caring during a difficult time with our beloved elderly cat Noelle. Sadly, we came to the conclusion that it was time to end her suffering and pain. Dr. Emily Rogell took time to explain the situation and was patient with us as we dealt with the decision. We were able to stay with Noelle as she passed away peacefully with Dr. Rogell reassuring us and talking us through the procedure. After we left, I saw that she had taken the time to write a lovely note expressing her sympathy for our loss, which meant so much. You could not ask for a more nurturing environment while dealing with ill pets.

Sadly, our 12-year old Newfoundland dog had a stroke on New Year's Eve. We spoke several times with Shinequa who could not have been more kind and helpful, reiterating repeatedly that they were ready to provide whatever help we needed. The dog, in the end, passed peacefully on her own, so that we ultimately only needed help in disposing of the remains. But I really appreciated the kindness, sensitivity, and willingness to provide assistance, even on a holiday.

They have been there for me and my family when both of our dogs (one pitbull Great Dane mix and one Cotton DE Tuliare) have had emergencies! I highly recommend this emergency animal hospital whenever you have any scary moments with your furry family members, trust me I am sure if anything comes up in the future we WILL be back to MEAC!

Staff and Vets are amazing. So lucky this Emergency clinic is so close to us. I have used the services over the years and can't speak highly enough about them. I have had pet emergencies that were handled and treated with the best care. I have also sadly had to euthanize dogs there... treated with compassion and care. Awesome practice.

They are the best! We have a cat that we took there 2 weeks ago because he was looking bloated. Dr. Hendrickson drew blood but said the cat needed an ultrasound and referred us to Hope Vet Center. Later that week, our regular vet did a biopsy on the cat's liver and removed his spleen. The cat stayed at MEAC for post-op care for 3 days. Drs. Hendrickson, Cordray and Adams were so good to him and to us. They called us frequently with updates on his condition even in the middle of the night and allowed us to call whenever we needed. to. This was not cheap, but the care for our Taz was well worth any price we had to pay and we were not overcharged in any way. We were given an estimate each day showing what would be done and what it would cost. There is a wait, but ER's for humans have waits too. MEAC usually only has one vet on duty at a time.

The staff here is fantastic! I positively love Dr. Cordray. I wish I could take my cats to her for routine care. They clearly care about their patients and the patients' humans, and I appreciate that. I'm lucky to have not had to leave anyone overnight yet, but if that time comes, I have no doubt my four-legged kid will be in excellent hands.
thanks for all you do, MEAC!!!!
