Annapolis Animal Hospital has been our vet of choice for over 12 years now. Dr. Reed is consistently thorough and talks through everything with me so that I understand what is going on with my dogs. The staff are great and they treat the dogs like their own. Pet ailments can always be a mystery and they can't tell us what hurts or why they feel bad. Sometimes it is necessary to try a treatment to see if that helps a problem. We appreciate that Dr. Reed always gives us options and lets us know that he is there to help us find a solution to what is hurting our dogs. We would definitely recommend Annapolis Animal Hospital to our pet friends.
I apologize in advance for the format - it seems that Google took away my paragraphs. Not supposed to be a rant, just a summary of my experience. This review has been a long time coming. I kept giving this office second chances, because it is so convenient. But I have had more than one bad interaction over the course of four years. The first time we saw Dr. Reed for our cat's bald patches. He said she had ringworm, and because of that our kitty had an entire month of torture getting baths twice a week, and getting sprayed/wiped down with Lotrimin. Not to mention us, and our house! Well, she didn't get better, we took her back in for a second opinion, the second vet said it was a food allergy. Switched her food, her hair grew back and she became healthy. So cue four years of buying expensive allergy food - fine because it helped her. She also had a period of time where she was peeing everywhere. Vet said it was stress, had us purchase a pheromone releaser. Did not help. After WAY too long tested her pee for crystals, which she had. Switched her food to non-fish. But again, this diagnosis was very late in coming and after they had us purchase extras through them. Well this past month she lost her hair on both sides of her belly. We took her in and saw Dr. Bannish (sp?). She gave her a once over, sent us home with the non-absorbent litter and had us take a pee sample. She had protein and blood in her pee. Again said it was food. Switched her to the canned version of her current food. Took to it fine, but she stopped pooping. Called the vet's office - and never heard back. I had to call back days later to even get a response. They just told us it would take a month to see if it worked. But our kitty isn't pooping more than once a week, and when they sent us home with more of the special litter for a retest, she didn't like it and ended up peeing on our bed. So I called the vet, and again - no return call until I called them. The receptionist Julie was extremely rude - said that their office was open at 8 and she she just got in, so she shouldn't have even picked up the phone. It was 7:57. I tried to complain that it had been two weeks with no results and our kitty was still sick, and she said my option was to bring her in three days later (after the weekend) for pee testing. My kitty has protein and blood in her pee, and it's been two weeks at this point, and she still is missing hair on her tummy. So I explain this to the receptionist, and she says that the receptionist I'd talked to the day before said I'd declined to have her pee tested in the office. This was from the initial visit two weeks ago, back when the special litter had worked. Since it wasn't working, I just want my kitty's pee tested so we can get her treated and healthy again. So finally she offers me an appointment and a phone call from a vet. The original vet, who I have still not talked to in two weeks since bringing her in. Waiting today on the phone call - we'll see. But at this point it's just so I can speak to someone other than one of the receptionists. I made an appointment with another veterinary office. Beware of this one. I kept going over and over for the past four years because of loyalty, and I think my pet suffered because of it.
This is the vet I have been trying to find for the last ten years! I have recommended them to all of my friends.
I can not say enough good about this place. After moving to Annapolis I began taking my very timid dog here. Dr. Reed literally sat on the floor with my dog for 20 minutes until the dog finally warmed up. He made me feel extremely comfortable and talked to me for a solid 30 minutes. The vet techs as well as the receptionist are also very welcoming and nice. I didn't find their prices unreasonable either.
I ADORE the Annapolis Animal Hospital! They have been nothing but SUPER friendly and have gone above and beyond to help with my pets! I have been using them for over 10 years and have never had any issues. Years ago they found that my puppy needed knee surgery due to a birth defect. I know there is some fancy name for it but I don't remember. The Dr was honest and referred me over to an orthopedic specialist and he got my dog all fixed up. Now, I go to Dr. Reed for EVERYTHING! He is great with my dog and my two cats. He takes the time to listen and I never feel rushed during my appointment. The other staff there is wonderful and its great that they know me as soon as I walk in.
