Absolutely wonderful place. I came to them (unfortunately for me) at the end of my cat's life and they treated him and me with the same care and kindness as if we had been longtime patients. Dr. Bowersett offered clear options, gave advice in a way that was helpful and not pressuring, and was fully engaged through the end. He and Cathy even came to the office on a Saturday evening so we could pick up medicine! Cathy was amazing - warm and gentle - and even wrote a heartfelt card after we had tried as many options as felt right to us and had finally put our cat to sleep. They were easy to find, easy to schedule appointments with, and consummate professionals in every way. I cannot say enough good things about this practice! Read Less

I am very happy I found Four Corners Animal Hospital.  They gave us great and compassionate care and they listened to our wants and needs for our pet without any judgement.  I will never go to another vet again!!! Read Less

My dog and I had a great first appointment Dr. Bowersett and his staff! They checked him out, gave me some free samples for heartworm meds and even gave me some great insight into some of his quirky behaviors. Thank you Four Corners! Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and birds to Dr Bowerset for the past 21 years. He is very, very good. If he feels he does not know what is going on, he will refer you to a specialist, rather than risk a bad diagnosis. We work together to keep my pets safe and healthy. I now have a 13 year old Jack and 3 year old Amstaff. He does not just rush and prescribe meds, some things will run it's course, some things are a process of elimination. Remember the pets can't tell us where they hurt. Kathy Diamond shines as his assistant. Dr. Kimberly is also really competent, I have no problem with switching between them, whoever is available.

Confidence. That is what I have in Four Corners Animal Hospital. I feel confident that my dog is getting the best care possible. I've been a fan of this practice since 1998 and would not hesitate to recommend them. They genuinely care about the animals they treat. Their pet care is skilled and gentle. And they are considerate of their human companions as well (The tiny dishes on the reception counter of pet and human treats makes me smile). Dr. Bowersett and Dr. Kimberly are wonderful and kind and the staff is great as well. Read Less

Dr Bowersett is the BEST especially at Diagnosis - Wonderful, Caring Staff too! Have been bringing my pets to 4 Corners for over 25 years. Have adopted pets thru Cathy Diamond there. Cathy is the ultimate "pet matchmaker" of the universe! Read Less

I generally don't like most vets for the simple reason that I think the majority of veterinary care is very perfunctory and designed to just run up the bill with standard diagnostics like X-ray and blood work. Recently I got fed up with such an experience and came to Dr Bowersett. He is simply amazing. Told me my cat has cataracts right away, which I would think any vet would be able to diagnose, but not the case with my last one. He is conservative and that's what I like. He was able to diagnose the cause of my cat's weight loss quickly and we are going to treat the condition (heart disease). Cannot recommend him enough. A true gem. Read Less

Best vet ever! Dr. Bowersett and his staff have been taking care of my cats for over 10 years. They're helping my senior cat, Gzorro at his ripe old age of 20+, saved Bumpers from certain death from UTI, cleaned Larry's teeth, and earlier this year, helped Igmoo get back on his paws after an ear infection left him stumbling. Dr. B and Kathy made a house call years ago to help Orca James Bond cross the Rainbow Bridge and Kathy's diligence secured for stray cat Rusty McKitty, a furever home. Dr. B and staff don't do unnecessary tests or other things that bring discomfort to animals and divest pet owners of $$. His sensitive and sensible approach is a welcome commodity, as not so scrupleous vets care more about money than the people who care about their pets. Dr. B is genuinely concerned and always asks pet owners to call and let him know how his patients are doing. There is no veterinary clinic in the area that rivals Dr. B and his staff for animal care and assistance to pet parents.Read Less

We have been taking our dog to Dr. Kimberely at Four Corners for the past 6 years, since we adopted him. He has received excellent care, we feel that all the staff are caring, never in a rush, and take their time in answering questions about his health, and he has had two minor procedures done there. Both times, we felt confident he was well-cared for, safe, and he would in capable hands. All in all, couldn't be happier with Four Corners! Read Less

We loved taking our dog here. In the waiting room, they have birds that distracts the dog. The staff are really great and helpful. You can email the vet for questions and they charge by the time you actually see, not a flat rate for any visit. The prices are good in the Silver Spring area. They have been great and we will miss this vet office. Read Less

I cannot say enough nice things about this veterinary office! We have been taking our two dogs Jedi and Pickles there since we moved to the area 5 years ago and they've always taken great care of us! Dr. Kimberly and Shannon the vet tech are absolutely wonderful, as are the rest of the staff. Keep up the great work! Read Less

I've been taking my pets to Dr. Bowersett for almost ten years.  Dr. Bowersett is the medicine man of vets--his dad was a vet and he grew up around veterinary medicine.  After receiving his veterinary degree, he also earned a Masters in Public Health.  He draws not only on his academic knowledge, but having been around animal health issues from the time he could walk--his instincts are always spot on.  I like Dr. Bowersett because he genuinely loves animals--a whole lot more than he cares about the money that a lot of "boutique" practices make off of people who love animals.  He doesn't push unnecessary medications, foods, or products at people and he won't recommend tests that he doesn't feel will result in better health for your pet. I think Dr. Bowersett is extremely knowledgeable and caring and his staff are extremely helpful.  I recommend this practice highly. Read Less

I haven't been submitting reviews to yelp but want to start submitting more reviews- especially of neighborhood businesses.The care and attention paid to our cat and dog at Four Corners Animal Hospital is top notch. From the front desk to the vets, all the staff are kind, attentive and very knowledgable.  They all understand and have love for the critters and humans who come-in to the hospital. They spend time with animals and owners to deliver excellent care.Four Corners recommends the care and supplies that are needed for the optimal health and well being of our pets but do not push expensive services and products or make us feel guilty for not being able to afford above and beyond treatments and merchandise like some of the Southern California animal hospitals to which we have previously taken our pets.I am glad our landlord when we first moved to the DC area recommended Four Corners. We now recommend it to others. Read Less

Dr. Bowersett and Cathy are my favorite team. Over the years I've taken my dog to a couple of the other veterinarians close by, however, once I stopped in at the 4 Corners Office, I never returned to any other!!! In the other nearby offices such as Kindness clinic, I felt very nervous based on how I was treated by the staff. My dog even snipped. However, at 4 Corners it was totally different. Very calm, very gentle and optimal care. At 4 Corners, it's like FAMILY. I have been going to 4 Corners Animal Hospital for more than 10 years and highly recommend this office far above any in the area.Read Less

I love Four Corners Animal Hospital. And more importantly my dog, Blue, does too. In fact, whether he is healthy or sick he always trots on in and sits down. His tail is even wagging the whole time. Drs. Bowersett and Kimberly are both so knowledgeable and have such a sweet touch to everything they do from giving an exam to taking blood. We especially appreciate the flexibility they have in squeezing us in for emergencies and for taking our phone calls with questions. Blue was sick a few weeks ago and Dr. Bowersett went above and beyond the call of duty. He asked for me to call in with updates to see how Blue was doing. I wish my own doctor would do that. I can't leave out the rest of the staff! All the nurses/vet techs are amazingly sweet as well. Blue always knows there is a treat in someone's pocket! The ladies at the desk are so prompt and friendly as well. Plus, when they hand you your bill, you don't want to scream. The animal hospital charges very fair prices in comparison to other vet offices. Basically, if you don't take your animal here, you're missing out on the best care.Read Less

This is a great place to get your baby's (pet lover over here) check up and grooming done. I have a Yorkie, and she's skittish when it involves anyone handling her. She does very well here because the staff treat their patients like people--with respect,  consideration and compassion. I trust them completely and am SAD that I moved and  can't take them with me. Many thanks to the wonderful staff who've taken care of my baby over the years. Read Less

I would give them 0 stars if I could. When I called their phone number on Wednesday July 23 at 1:30pm, a voice recording came on saying" We are on the line with other callers, please call back at 301-593-6330", and then the phone went blank! Apparently, this vet doesn't believe in a voice mail system. I figured it was a mistake, so I called back, same response. I have been trying for 15 minutes, but the same thing has happened. If this is how they treat their prospective customers, I would hate to see how they treated their customers.If there is some special way I should be calling you Four Corners, please let me know, then I will retract my review.

I want to write all positive things about Four Corners but just can't.Dr. Bowersett is good, and the desk staff are friendly and helpful.Problem #1: When we first moved to the area, we took our two dogs together to the vet for checkups.  The office ended up misplacing one of the dog's records so that at our next appointment they couldn't do everything needed (since I left my copy of the records at home, assuming they...you know...had a record of my dog).  Honestly, the assistant was a real jerk about it, arrogantly insisting that I was wrong, that we hadn't taken in the dog prior to that day despite my insistence, etc.  She just acted like an a-hole, man.  I was ticked off and would've found another vet, but felt my time and options in the area were very limited.  Lo and behold, at the next (rescheduled) appointment my dog's records had magically reappeared.Problem #2: As I said above, I think Dr. Bowersett is knowledgeable.  He seems to have a reasoned response to treating dog problems.  (He also euthanized one of our dogs -- that was a tough experience for my wife and me, and he was very compassionate.)  The younger Dr. Elizabeth, while very nice to us and kind to our dogs, grossly overreacted to problems.  First, she advised us to take our dog to a nearby canine eye doctor.  We did but ended up not going forward with the procedure since the chances for success were slim.  At a later visit with Dr. Bowersett, he indicated that the procedure wouldn't have worked anyway due to our dog having Cushing's Disease, meaning that Dr. Elizabeth's recommendation would have been costly ($1200+) and fruitless in the end.Some months later, Dr. Elizabeth did a checkup on our other dog and found a low red blood cell count.  She ran tests and advised us to immediately go to a nearby emergency clinic.  We spend $900 total that day and found nothing substantial.  Regenerative anemia was the diagnosis.  Then last week, our new vet (we moved away from Silver Spring) diagnosed our dog with congestive heart failure, which likely was causing the problem I believe.  A simple x-ray at Four Corners ($50 in Buffalo NY, $?? in Silver Spring) would have revealed the enlarged heart and saved us all that time, money, etc.Bottom line: If you use this clinic, try to make your appointment with Dr. Bowersett.  I don't enjoy badmouthing people -- my apologies to all those impugned in this review but unfortunately (for everyone) you earned it.

The care we received here was acceptably average, but I simply could not get past the overwhelmingly strong animal odor.  I would not submit to treatment in a facility that smelled of human excrement and body odor, so I cannot accept it for my pets.  I am now the happy patron of a veterinary hospital that smells pleasantly antiseptic.

I had tried several of the vets in the Silver Spring area before I moved to the Four Corners area almost a year ago. This place is literally a minute away, so I decided to try them out since none of the other places had totally won me over.  They ended up being the clinic that both my husband and I like.The things that stood out about Four Corners AH: - Dr. Bowersett goes out of his way to consider your pet's history and carefully make all decisions considering any issues your pet has. Dr. B initially chose to skip an xray for us because our dog has seizures. - At the same time he doesn't overmedicate, advising us not to put him on seizure medications because the incident have not been severe or worse. Meds do have side effects and health impacts.- Dr. B really excels when it comes to doing a thorough physical examination. Our dog has a bad hip that we had been concerned with. Dr. B was the only vet who noticed his leg was atrophied and was able to tell from a manual exam that it was not an ACL tear or the leg itself but the hip. All the other vets we took him to either didn't check thoroughly or was unable to determine much - they just told us to xray him. - The assistants are always there to completely handle, calm and make things comfortable for your pet. This is important because it frees up your attention to listen to the doctor. At another nearby Silver Spring vet, I've had to lift my 50 pound dog from ground level to an exam table - not nice on my back! - Their desk staff are always super nice when you call or come in, and they have no problem helping you find the best place to get your animal treated.  I've had other clinics get grumpy on my current vet because they realized I had been somewhere else. At Four Corners Animal Hospital, they have no issues referring you to another place if they don't have a special vaccine you need - in fact, they will call around and find a place for you.Our dog recently had to undergo an operation at the emergency clinic, and when he suddenly developed an allergic reaction to the antibiotics, I was in a panic. Four Corners Animal Hospital told me to come over immediately. They took his blood and gave me a seat in the exam room while we waited on the CBC results. Dr. B explained all the findings thoroughly, changed the prescribed antibiotics, and gave us his cell number to call him each day to check in on our dog's condition. Now, I wasn't as worried anymore after I knew it was just allergies, but if it had been a more critical state for my dog, it definitely would have been very reassuring to know I could call the vet at any time.Even though its a small clinic, the waiting room is well set up so that even if there happens to be others waiting, you don't feel too entrapped. There's enough seating that's not directly face to face if your pet is a little reactive around others. Also, the front staff are always very nice in person as well as on the phoneThey are a small clinic and may not be available for emergencies, but Four Corners Animal Hospital ended up being the place that we found most trustworthy. Dr. Bowersett and his staff truly care about your pets, and it shows. The Two paws up! Read Less

I recently moved to the area from out of state and selected Four Corners Animal Hospital based on yelp reviews. We had our first appointment last week and it was great. My last vet seemed to really rush us out where Dr. Bowersett spent a significant amount of time with us. We just went for vaccinations but it was still easy to tell we picked the right Vet. He explained what he was doing and why and answered my questions. Cathy was also very helpful and gave us a tour of the grooming and boarding facilities. They actually also said that if we need recommendations on anything, even non-pet related to call as they know how hard it is to move which was very sweet. One other big thing- the rates were fair and I did not feel that they were trying to push me into extra unnecessary things to generate funds. I actually found out one of the vaccinations my last vet required was not really that effective and that most vets don't offer it. So while I asked for it, they saved me money and declined.

I had a very urgent need to board my cat, but they required proof of rabies shot and that my cat was current on vaccines. I did not have the proof, I called Four Corners and they made me an appointment for the very next morning to have my cat taken care of.I did not have to wait long, everything was ready for him at the appointment and they treated him very kindly and he seemed relaxed instead of frightened. I don't think he even realized he had been given a shot. They got me the copies of the paperwork I needed to show to the boarding place and everything was good.The Veterinarian and his assistant were both awesome. I would recommend anyone take their cat here. The place was very clean and smelled nice and sunny in the waiting room.Only problem is it can be very easy to miss as it is a tiny building with only a few parking spaces. Check the map carefully before you go if it is your first time. Read Less

I've been going to this vet for 19 years with my dogs and cats. Dr. B even came out to look at 2 of my horses! They're VERY friendly, the wait isn't too bad and it's clean. The prices are fair and the treatment is very thorough. Read Less

Love this hospital. Dr. Bowersett is very knowledgable and fair with his prices. Usually, I request Dr. B, as he knows my dog since she was a puppy, but I've also gotten the chance to meet his associate, Dr. Kimberly. She was very nice and I appreciated that she took the time to review my dogs history prior to seeing her. Read Less
