Be careful! This facility is about getting your money.  My pet was seen by this facility for 5 years and we paid the very high costs of treatment regularly.  Last week, we had a mix-up (which I believe was due to a  misstatement by the facility) about the time of an ultrasound and the office staff, led by office director, Kelly (who is extremely difficult), charged $175 for it.  And, they included it on the bill for the later ultrasound without even telling us.  When I called to talk to Kelly about it, she was rude, short, and refused to return the $175 or even acknowledge their part in the problem. There are plenty of good veterinarians in the area.  Best to stay AWAY from this one. Read Less

I would highly recommend Nebel Street Animal Hospital to anyone who is looking for excellent client/customer service! Dr.Hambright was fantastic and did an extremely thorough exam and took the time to go through a lot of details with me. We are relatively new to the area and have an older dog with some very serious health problems. The staff has been wonderful through all of this and has answered all of my questions accordingly. They have even called a few times to check in with me which I really appreciate. I don't feel like "just another patient" and I have been very satisfied with my experiences. Read Less

We've been taking our dog (and my sister's dog) here for the last two years and have been very happy.  My review is about my most recent visit which I was very unhappy about.  My sister's dog was last seen in April 2016 for an exam and shots.  It's now June 2017 so the dog is 8 wks late.  I called on Tuesday to make an appointment.  Their first opening was the following Monday so I booked it, but they said they don't do all the shots at once and said I should bring her in on a different day for a tech visit to get half the shots.  They said I didn't need an appointment for a tech visit and I could drop in anytime.  I said I'd be in in the next couple of days and the woman on the phone said okay.  So, I came in today (Thursday before the exam/shots visit and just two days after I called to schedule the annual check up), told the woman at the desk (turns out it was the office manager, Kelly) we were in for a tech visit, etc.  She looked the dog's name up.  With a bunch of unnecessary attitude, she informs me that the dog hasn't been into the office for a year and a half (actually, rude lady, it has only been 14 months, not 18, but whatever) and they weren't going to vaccinate a dog without an exam first.  I relayed to her my conversation when I made the appointment that I'd be in this week and I was never told it would be a problem.  I got nothing but more attitude.  No apology for the wrong information I was given, no apology for my wasted time.I used to be a property manager and had a lot of balls to jungle and things to take care of, but at the end of the day, I was really in the customer service business.  So is a vet's office.  Yes, they take care of animals but the public is involved.  Animals have humans.  You can either deliver unpleasant information with attitude or graciousness.  Kelly could work on her delivery.

I LOVE Nebel St. Everyone there is amazing, including Kelly!, she's awesome. Always friendly and helpful. Beanie & Bella had been going to Dr. Fromberg for 4 years and she is the BEST! She has always been super sweet and explains everything in detail. I mean I practically lived there, lol - I was in the office monthly!! She always takes the time to explain in detail the issues and course of action. Saving money where she can but suggesting the best treatment for my fur babies always. They were both senior pets, sadly Bella got a rare disease and passed away this past Feb. after battling Conn's Syndrome but Dr. Fromberg did everything right for Bella. I could not have asked for a better back up when Dr. Fromberg was out because Dr. Hambright was pretty awesome himself. I had to move to Miami this month and they will be hard to replace but whenever I'm home visiting family, I will make sure to bring Beanie in as long as possible. They are irreplaceable. Read Less

We love Nebel Street Animal Hospital.  We live in Columbia and make the drive to Rockville because of the quality of their care.  Our 2 American Bulldogs have been patients for the past several years. The office is unlike many veterinary offices.  It is bright, it is clean and it is odor free.  The doctors are very skilled, patient and compassionate. The office staff is friendly, informative  and helpful.  Our dogs have had several procedures at Nebel Street.  I so much appreciate the follow up from Kelly and her team.  We always get a call, sometimes more than once, following up after any procedure that our dogs have received. Kelly has made herself available anytime if I have any questions or concerns. Very recently we were given some devastating news about our male  dog. Kelly was so compassionate and caring, clearly empathizing and understood our pain.  I feel like we are treated as valued customers and not just another number or a dollar.

Anyone who has ever felt the panic of a vet emergency understands the sheer terror of having beloved furbaby in pain.  Google helped me locate Nebel Street and I am immensely grateful.  Megan and Tyeisha were so kind and took great care of my dog, Sydney.  They saw her right away and were efficient in getting her triaged - and the vet quickly disloged the stick wedged in the roof of Syd's mouth.  And they only charged $50, whereas.some emergency vets will charge $200, even for just showing up.  I feel so lucky that Syd got great care from such wonderful people.

I have had pups my whole life so I have worked with many vets over the years.  While I have been fortunate enough to never have had a terrible experience, Dr. Hambright is still leaps and bounds above the amazing vets I've worked with in the past.It is so apparent that Dr. Hambright truly cares about each animal he treats.  My pup actually gets excited to head to his office...at least until the needles come out.  The dr takes the time to pet my pup until she is calm and comfortable.  He is also very gentle with his examinations as not to startle her.Lastly, he has the patience of a saint.  My husband and I discussed multiple paths of treatment for our pup and he listened and gave feedback on each option.  He is never looking to gauge pet-parents for money but rather to pick the best path for each patient. While I don't want his office to get too busy because I love that I am able to get an appointment somewhat easily, I have to let everyone with fur babies know, this office is the best!! Read Less

They have saved all four of my cats' lives. I've got a Lymphomatic cat in remission because of them, a diabetic who acts perfectly normal because of them, a hyperthyroidic who is gaining back some of his weight (and was saved at 2 from a UR infection) because of them, and a cat with chronic ear problems who is feeling so much better than she would have because of them. I can't say enough kind words about this practice. I recommend them every time someone asks me for a vet. Our primary vet here is Dr. Hambright but all three vets are incredible.

Since rescuing my "special needs" Foxhound mix almost six years ago, I continue taking Troy to Dr. Hambright and am completely satisfied.  Troy is a challenge.  He was a cruelty rescue and was literally half-dead with pneumonia and a homemade cast on his leg when we got him.  Today, he's a robust, healthy, VERY LOUD AND DEMANDING 57 pound lap dog.  His anxiety issues have dissipated.  Troy also has a girlfriend now, which is probably the key to his adjusted temperment!!!  I am very thankful for Dr. Hambright and his staff.  They were patient with Troy when others were not.

**This review has also been posted to Nebel Street Animal Hospital on yelp.**I'm so disappointed that at a time when I needed a professional to utilize their knowledge and years of training beyond the routine vaccinations and wellness exam, I was severely failed. Thankfully, no further damage has occurred as a result, but I will not be returning to the Nebel Street Animal Hospital or Dr. Hambright. I feel that this would have been a very obvious diagnosis to a semi-conscious veterinarian. I can't afford to leave my animals in the care of one so complacent.Sept 1st 2015, I took my 10 year old Mini Dachshund in for vaccinations and to address the strange behavior of random yelping and guarding as if he had an injury by being very cautious about movement near him. I also explained that I noticed the dog had a lameness in his right hind leg (I thought it was a possible symptom of Lyme's from a tick bite. Snap test was negative.) and seemed to be socially withdrawn. Dr. Hambright performed the most basic assessment of flexing the dogs neck from side to side and up (up only), but noted no reaction or pain from these manipulations, and said his yelping must be a behavioral issue. Noticing no changes or improvements in his strange behavior, attempting to entrust Dr. Hambright's assessment, I allowed another month to go on until I decided to take my dog to a cardiologist for a persistent cough (possibly associated with a newly diagnosed murmur). Perhaps this may explain his other strange behaviors as well. The cardiologist did a standard (yet more indepth than Dr. Hambright's) neurological test, putting the dogs snout down instead of up (dog immediately yelped) and turning the feet over to show signs of "knuckling" (something I had noticed twice the month before, but didn't know it was a sign of neuro-deficit. I'm not a veterinarian!). The dog had no reaction and did not try to correct the placement of his paws. That same day, I took him to a neurologist who had concluded (without even needing XRays or MRIs) that my dog has a painful cervical disc rupture. Treatment options being strict cage restriction for 6-8 weeks with medications or MRI & surgery.I feel that being presented with a TEN year old mini DACHSHUND (the poster dog for spinal issues) who is said to be YELPING and behaving as if he is GUARDING AN INJURY, should have been enough for Dr. Hambright to pay more attention than to sum it up as a "behavioral issue". I have seen 5 other veterinarians (cardiologist, neurologist, 2 generals and an internist/acupuncturist) who have all done these basic standard assessments and have found it obvious that the dog had a spinal injury & is in pain. I see the look on their faces followed by the shaking of their heads in disapproval when I say "My dog has been behaving this way since late August, was seen by his regular vet in September and I was told nothing was wrong with him." I feel that, because the dog wasn't in excruciating pain presenting with blatant paralysis, Dr. Hambright did the minimal observation. I am a nurse, I am trained to observe, and understand medical lingo. My education in humans does not translate well to veterinary observations, but I am well informed and detailed. I have been to Dr. Hambright 3 times and 2 of those 3 visits I have felt that he was not truly interested in my concerns and was merely brushing off as a neurotic pet mom. Dr. Hambright may not have been able to do much more than refer me to the neurologist, but that could have saved my pet another month of pain and could have decreased a now prolonged recovery time. As an owner, we are our dog's advocate. We know their tendencies and behaviors. It is crucial that a veterinarian use your words as puzzle pieces to make a proper diagnosis.  I need a veterinarian with a willingness to listen and the motivation to investigate the problems the owners are vocalizing.

I have used Nebel Street Animal hospital for three cats and a dog. Whether helping me to integrate a new dog into a multi-pet household or, sadly, euthanizing an elderly cat, the vets and the staff have been wonderful. The doctors' love for animals is obvious, and they help to set my nervous pets at ease: while my cats are never thrilled to be at the vet, they are far more calm at Nebel Street than they have been at other veterinary practices. Nebel Street also operates very professionally. They answer calls in-person and promptly and always call me back quickly regarding lab results or my questions. As well, I have found it easy to get an appointment within a ten-day window. Wait times in the office are never long either. Before a doctor orders a medicine, procedure, or lab test, I am always told the cost up front and asked for explicit authorization, and I appreciate this transparency. When the front desk staff occassionally seem rushed or a little distant, I am not bothered because I can tell that they are all working hard to help the business run smoothly. I also like that Nebel Street has boarding facilities. I have not boarded a dog there, but the cat boarding room - glassed-in multi-level kennels along the waiting area - is very well designed. When I've wanted in-home pet sitting services, Nebel Street Animal Hospital has come through with great referrals too. I like this place so much that I've stuck with it, even after moving into DC. It's well worth the commute for me to maintain my relationship with Nebel Street Animal Hospital.Read Less

I didn't even get treatment here, but I need to make this remark that one of the receptionists here is incredibly insensitive and rude. When you Google search "Nebel Animal Hospital" thinking that you'll get the 24/7 emergency animal hospital next door, you get the phone number to this place instead. I'm sorry, most people don't call the emergency animal hospital on a regular basis and cannot distinguish that this as a separate, distinct business from the other one and end up calling this place. I had to ask for the phone number for Metropolitan and hung up. The number didn't dial right so I had to recall her, but instead of giving me the phone number, she copped an attitude and told me to stop jamming the numbers into her ears because it hurts her ears. I'm sorry I'm trying to call the emergency clinic because I HAVE AN EMERGENCY. SORRY YOUR MILD EAR PAIN IS A LITTLE LOW ON MY PRIORITY LIST RIGHT NOW. As a clinician, one of the first things you learn is about patient care and interaction which means EMPATHY and keeping your cool. I was never a vet tech, but I've been an EMT and seen my fare share of human patients to know that being rude to them does you and your organization no favors. I don't think she deserved to have the tone of dialing jammed into her ears but it was wildly inconsiderate. PS: I am looking at their website right now and see that they offer emergency services, I could have totally went here for my emergency! It didn't register to her that she could have offered her clinic for my emergency which I would have been more than happy to at the time knowing that her clinic is actually higher rated than the one next door. Ouch ouch ouch, all around. I'd rather have a warm pile of mashed potatoes attend my phone than this woman. Read Less

Dr. Hambright and his staff  are wonderful. He has been our vet for the past 10 years. We came to Dr. Hambright after experiencing terrible care at another vet practice in the area when our dog was a little over  year old. From the moment we walked in the door of NSAH 10 years ago, our experience has been so different and just great. Dr. Hambright himself came out to greet Linus that day fr his appointment and  has continued to do so every single time we have taken Linus to see him. He conducted all exams, gave Linus necessary shots,and  diagnosed his complaints himself and offered sound advice on how best to treat Linus as he aged and went through the ups and downs of a dog's life. When Linus neared the end of his life, Dr. Hambright was with my family, helping not only Linus but us to get through this difficult time. My appreciation for his compassion and experience is immense and I know that I could never find another vet as good as him. The bonus of the kindness, helpfulness and friendliness of his staff make NSAH a terrific veterinary practice and one that it is easy to recommend to friends. Read Less

I moved to DC and did the usual--Friendship Hospital for Animals. While they were fine (and verrrrrrrrrrrry expensive) I moved out of the city recently. I wanted a vet that was more affordable, closer to my new house, and most importantly, supportive of my cat's raw food diet. While Dr. Fromberg isn't a raw food specialist, she also didn't give me the stink eye and simply ensured that the food I am giving my cat is nutritionally balanced and healthy for her. That I appreciated enormously.The diet FHA put my cat on started an allergic reaction that has been spiraling out of control in recent months. After two visits to FHA and a round of oral steroids, she was still tearing her fur out in swaths; almost a quarter of her back was bald from it. She gave herself hot spots and we couldn't touch anything past her shoulders without her skin flinching. I simply couldn't afford to bring her back to FHA and wanted to go to someone who would be more understanding of my position. Yelp told me to try here, so I did.Dr. Fromberg came directly out to get me. Not a vet tech, I didn't have to explain myself or the problem to three different people, she was the only person I interacted with in this regard. It was really great. She was patient with my cat's terror, kind and understanding to me, and was able to determine by *feel* that Kitty had developed an infection under her skin. She tested it and it came back right away with the result. She warned that her treatment would take care of the infection but probably not the allergic reaction and advised I consider seeking a feline dermatologist. She was helpful, kind, and understanding of everything I was coming from. And that's just a people side! She was very gentle with Kitty and that is always greatly appreciated. She also let me know when it was OK to let her hide, as is Kitty's nature.When I went to pay, I was expecting FHA prices...y'know, $180 just for walking in the door? Nope. Three medications, the testing, and the consultation for *less than that.* Read Less

I've had my share of pets, mostly dogs, all of whom have lived to be very senior fellas. Gotta say, Dr. Hambright is far and away the best, kindest, most compassionate vet I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not long after Dr, Hambright opened his practice, my beloved 17 year old mutt was suddenly failing, right before my eyes. I had no time to call to find an appointment with a vet, but just loaded him into the car and dashed to Nebel Street. Although I arrived unannounced, my dog's distress was clear, and staff called Dr. Hambright, who came in to work to help, which meant the whole world to me. He was with me as my dog died, and he was absolutely wonderful. In the years since, I've had to go to other practices due to various complicating factors, but have never found one that compares. Dr. Hambright is just supreme, in my experience. You really can't ask for a better vet. Read Less

I disagree with many of these negative reviews, maybe the staff has improved with customer service since they were written. I started going to them because my dog was having some health issues that my long time family vet couldn't correctly diagnose. I was with the Nebel vet less than 5 minutes before she figured it out. When my dog died a few months later (unrelated to the issue mentioned above) they sent us a sympathy letter and even made a small donation to an animal research foundation in her honor. They have never been less than kind or courteous to us and I'm so glad to have found them. Read Less

We used Dr. Hambright and Nebel Street Hospital for our dog and cats for a couple of years. At first, we were pleased, but over time, we found the quality of care mixed and became increasingly disappointed. While the facility is nice and clean, the medical care varies dramatically depending on the expertise of the professional. When they made a major mistake with one of our pets, they tried to cover it up instead of admitting it. I would not recommend this practice unless you are looking for more than the veneer of a good vet. There are much better practices available in the area for the same or lower prices. My sense is that the practice has declined in quality over time, which is unfortunate. Read Less

My 2 year old pup has received the best care with Dr. Fromberg and all of the vet techs. We adopted him about a year ago and he's incredibly uncomfortable with shots or "inspecting" of any kind.  They put him at ease and always do what's in his best interest.  I trust their recommendations and know that he's in good hands.Top reasons I'd recommend them:1.  Friendly, attentive, trustworthy.  You know your pet will be well taken of.2.  Flexible hours and ease of getting an appt.3.  Nebel St. Animal Hospital is attached and open 24 hours.4. If you need to, they have early drop off hours, which is perfect for busy parents.5.  Dr. Fromberg thoroughly explains how your pet is doing, next steps, etc. 6. Wait time is usually prompt, and if not, reasonable.  Nothing like the doctor or dentist for us humans. P.S.  I was reading other reviews and didn't experience any problems with check out.  My service has always been prompt and the front desk is really friendly.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that this stays true!

Overall experience was fine. The walls were a little thin in the exam rooms and they were shaking and you could hear through them - this scared my pet quite a bit!  Dr. Framburg did an excellent job with my pet and she was very nice and easy to talk to. Front office staff was slow and didn't do a great job with greeting or acknowledging people who were waiting for service. At one point there were four or five people standing out front that worked there and not one acknowledged a customer. The longest part of our appointment was waiting for the staff to acknowledge us and give us our bill, when it really should have been the service for my pet. Definitely an area for improvement.

Be careful! This facility is about getting your money.  My pet was seen by this facility for 5 years and we paid the very high costs of treatment regularly.  Last week, we had a mix-up (which I believe was due to a  misstatement by the facility) about the time of an ultrasound and the office staff, led by office director, Kelly (who is extremely difficult), charged $175 for it.  And, they included it on the bill for the later ultrasound without even telling us.  When I called to talk to Kelly about it, she was rude, short, and refused to return the $175 or even acknowledge their part in the problem.

We've been taking our dog (and my sister's dog) here for the last two years and have been very happy.  My review is about my most recent visit which I was very unhappy about.  My sister's dog was last seen in April 2016 for an exam and shots.  It's now June 2017 so the dog is 8 wks late.  I called on Tuesday to make an appointment.  Their first opening was the following Monday so I booked it, but they said they don't do all the shots at once and said I should bring her in on a different day for a tech visit to get half the shots.  They said I didn't need an appointment for a tech visit and I could drop in anytime.  I said I'd be in in the next couple of days and the woman on the phone said okay.  So, I came in today (Thursday before the exam/shots visit and just two days after I called to schedule the annual check up), told the woman at the desk (turns out it was the office manager, Kelly) we were in for a tech visit, etc.  She looked the dog's name up.  With a bunch of unnecessary attitude, she informs me that the dog hasn't been into the office for a year and a half (actually, rude lady, it has only been 14 months, not 18, but whatever) and they weren't going to vaccinate a dog without an exam first.  I relayed to her my conversation when I made the appointment that I'd be in this week and I was never told it would be a problem.  I got nothing but more attitude.  No apology for the wrong information I was given, no apology for my wasted time.I used to be a property manager and had a lot of balls to jungle and things to take care of, but at the end of the day, I was really in the customer service business.  So is a vet's office.  Yes, they take care of animals but the public is involved.  Animals have humans.  You can either deliver unpleasant information with attitude or graciousness.  Kelly could work on her delivery.

Since rescuing my "special needs" Foxhound mix almost six years ago, I continue taking Troy to Dr. Hambright and am completely satisfied.  Troy is a challenge.  He was a cruelty rescue and was literally half-dead with pneumonia and a homemade cast on his leg when we got him.  Today, he's a robust, healthy, VERY LOUD AND DEMANDING 57 pound lap dog.  His anxiety issues have dissipated.  Troy also has a girlfriend now, which is probably the key to his adjusted temperment!!!  I am very thankful for Dr. Hambright and his staff.  They were patient with Troy when others were not.

**This review has also been posted to Nebel Street Animal Hospital on yelp.**I'm so disappointed that at a time when I needed a professional to utilize their knowledge and years of training beyond the routine vaccinations and wellness exam, I was severely failed. Thankfully, no further damage has occurred as a result, but I will not be returning to the Nebel Street Animal Hospital or Dr. Hambright. I feel that this would have been a very obvious diagnosis to a semi-conscious veterinarian. I can't afford to leave my animals in the care of one so complacent.Sept 1st 2015, I took my 10 year old Mini Dachshund in for vaccinations and to address the strange behavior of random yelping and guarding as if he had an injury by being very cautious about movement near him. I also explained that I noticed the dog had a lameness in his right hind leg (I thought it was a possible symptom of Lyme's from a tick bite. Snap test was negative.) and seemed to be socially withdrawn. Dr. Hambright performed the most basic assessment of flexing the dogs neck from side to side and up (up only), but noted no reaction or pain from these manipulations, and said his yelping must be a behavioral issue. Noticing no changes or improvements in his strange behavior, attempting to entrust Dr. Hambright's assessment, I allowed another month to go on until I decided to take my dog to a cardiologist for a persistent cough (possibly associated with a newly diagnosed murmur). Perhaps this may explain his other strange behaviors as well. The cardiologist did a standard (yet more indepth than Dr. Hambright's) neurological test, putting the dogs snout down instead of up (dog immediately yelped) and turning the feet over to show signs of "knuckling" (something I had noticed twice the month before, but didn't know it was a sign of neuro-deficit. I'm not a veterinarian!). The dog had no reaction and did not try to correct the placement of his paws. That same day, I took him to a neurologist who had concluded (without even needing XRays or MRIs) that my dog has a painful cervical disc rupture. Treatment options being strict cage restriction for 6-8 weeks with medications or MRI & surgery.I feel that being presented with a TEN year old mini DACHSHUND (the poster dog for spinal issues) who is said to be YELPING and behaving as if he is GUARDING AN INJURY, should have been enough for Dr. Hambright to pay more attention than to sum it up as a "behavioral issue". I have seen 5 other veterinarians (cardiologist, neurologist, 2 generals and an internist/acupuncturist) who have all done these basic standard assessments and have found it obvious that the dog had a spinal injury & is in pain. I see the look on their faces followed by the shaking of their heads in disapproval when I say "My dog has been behaving this way since late August, was seen by his regular vet in September and I was told nothing was wrong with him." I feel that, because the dog wasn't in excruciating pain presenting with blatant paralysis, Dr. Hambright did the minimal observation. I am a nurse, I am trained to observe, and understand medical lingo. My education in humans does not translate well to veterinary observations, but I am well informed and detailed. I have been to Dr. Hambright 3 times and 2 of those 3 visits I have felt that he was not truly interested in my concerns and was merely brushing off as a neurotic pet mom. Dr. Hambright may not have been able to do much more than refer me to the neurologist, but that could have saved my pet another month of pain and could have decreased a now prolonged recovery time. As an owner, we are our dog's advocate. We know their tendencies and behaviors. It is crucial that a veterinarian use your words as puzzle pieces to make a proper diagnosis.  I need a veterinarian with a willingness to listen and the motivation to investigate the problems the owners are vocalizing.

I have used Nebel Street Animal hospital for three cats and a dog. Whether helping me to integrate a new dog into a multi-pet household or, sadly, euthanizing an elderly cat, the vets and the staff have been wonderful. The doctors' love for animals is obvious, and they help to set my nervous pets at ease: while my cats are never thrilled to be at the vet, they are far more calm at Nebel Street than they have been at other veterinary practices. Nebel Street also operates very professionally. They answer calls in-person and promptly and always call me back quickly regarding lab results or my questions. As well, I have found it easy to get an appointment within a ten-day window. Wait times in the office are never long either. Before a doctor orders a medicine, procedure, or lab test, I am always told the cost up front and asked for explicit authorization, and I appreciate this transparency. When the front desk staff occassionally seem rushed or a little distant, I am not bothered because I can tell that they are all working hard to help the business run smoothly. I also like that Nebel Street has boarding facilities. I have not boarded a dog there, but the cat boarding room - glassed-in multi-level kennels along the waiting area - is very well designed. When I've wanted in-home pet sitting services, Nebel Street Animal Hospital has come through with great referrals too. I like this place so much that I've stuck with it, even after moving into DC. It's well worth the commute for me to maintain my relationship with Nebel Street Animal Hospital.Read Less

I didn't even get treatment here, but I need to make this remark that one of the receptionists here is incredibly insensitive and rude. When you Google search "Nebel Animal Hospital" thinking that you'll get the 24/7 emergency animal hospital next door, you get the phone number to this place instead. I'm sorry, most people don't call the emergency animal hospital on a regular basis and cannot distinguish that this as a separate, distinct business from the other one and end up calling this place. I had to ask for the phone number for Metropolitan and hung up. The number didn't dial right so I had to recall her, but instead of giving me the phone number, she copped an attitude and told me to stop jamming the numbers into her ears because it hurts her ears. I'm sorry I'm trying to call the emergency clinic because I HAVE AN EMERGENCY. SORRY YOUR MILD EAR PAIN IS A LITTLE LOW ON MY PRIORITY LIST RIGHT NOW. As a clinician, one of the first things you learn is about patient care and interaction which means EMPATHY and keeping your cool. I was never a vet tech, but I've been an EMT and seen my fare share of human patients to know that being rude to them does you and your organization no favors. I don't think she deserved to have the tone of dialing jammed into her ears but it was wildly inconsiderate. PS: I am looking at their website right now and see that they offer emergency services, I could have totally went here for my emergency! It didn't register to her that she could have offered her clinic for my emergency which I would have been more than happy to at the time knowing that her clinic is actually higher rated than the one next door. Ouch ouch ouch, all around. I'd rather have a warm pile of mashed potatoes attend my phone than this woman. Read Less

Dr. Hambright and his staff  are wonderful. He has been our vet for the past 10 years. We came to Dr. Hambright after experiencing terrible care at another vet practice in the area when our dog was a little over  year old. From the moment we walked in the door of NSAH 10 years ago, our experience has been so different and just great. Dr. Hambright himself came out to greet Linus that day fr his appointment and  has continued to do so every single time we have taken Linus to see him. He conducted all exams, gave Linus necessary shots,and  diagnosed his complaints himself and offered sound advice on how best to treat Linus as he aged and went through the ups and downs of a dog's life. When Linus neared the end of his life, Dr. Hambright was with my family, helping not only Linus but us to get through this difficult time. My appreciation for his compassion and experience is immense and I know that I could never find another vet as good as him. The bonus of the kindness, helpfulness and friendliness of his staff make NSAH a terrific veterinary practice and one that it is easy to recommend to friends. Read Less

I moved to DC and did the usual--Friendship Hospital for Animals. While they were fine (and verrrrrrrrrrrry expensive) I moved out of the city recently. I wanted a vet that was more affordable, closer to my new house, and most importantly, supportive of my cat's raw food diet. While Dr. Fromberg isn't a raw food specialist, she also didn't give me the stink eye and simply ensured that the food I am giving my cat is nutritionally balanced and healthy for her. That I appreciated enormously.The diet FHA put my cat on started an allergic reaction that has been spiraling out of control in recent months. After two visits to FHA and a round of oral steroids, she was still tearing her fur out in swaths; almost a quarter of her back was bald from it. She gave herself hot spots and we couldn't touch anything past her shoulders without her skin flinching. I simply couldn't afford to bring her back to FHA and wanted to go to someone who would be more understanding of my position. Yelp told me to try here, so I did.Dr. Fromberg came directly out to get me. Not a vet tech, I didn't have to explain myself or the problem to three different people, she was the only person I interacted with in this regard. It was really great. She was patient with my cat's terror, kind and understanding to me, and was able to determine by *feel* that Kitty had developed an infection under her skin. She tested it and it came back right away with the result. She warned that her treatment would take care of the infection but probably not the allergic reaction and advised I consider seeking a feline dermatologist. She was helpful, kind, and understanding of everything I was coming from. And that's just a people side! She was very gentle with Kitty and that is always greatly appreciated. She also let me know when it was OK to let her hide, as is Kitty's nature.When I went to pay, I was expecting FHA prices...y'know, $180 just for walking in the door? Nope. Three medications, the testing, and the consultation for *less than that.* Read Less

I've had my share of pets, mostly dogs, all of whom have lived to be very senior fellas. Gotta say, Dr. Hambright is far and away the best, kindest, most compassionate vet I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not long after Dr, Hambright opened his practice, my beloved 17 year old mutt was suddenly failing, right before my eyes. I had no time to call to find an appointment with a vet, but just loaded him into the car and dashed to Nebel Street. Although I arrived unannounced, my dog's distress was clear, and staff called Dr. Hambright, who came in to work to help, which meant the whole world to me. He was with me as my dog died, and he was absolutely wonderful. In the years since, I've had to go to other practices due to various complicating factors, but have never found one that compares.

We used Dr. Hambright and Nebel Street Hospital for our dog and cats for a couple of years. At first, we were pleased, but over time, we found the quality of care mixed and became increasingly disappointed. While the facility is nice and clean, the medical care varies dramatically depending on the expertise of the professional. When they made a major mistake with one of our pets, they tried to cover it up instead of admitting it. I would not recommend this practice unless you are looking for more than the veneer of a good vet. There are much better practices available in the area for the same or lower prices.
