It’s a different place from the bad reviews A Cat Practice received on Google 5-6 years ago. The facility is not a super fancy or modern, but its clean and well kept. Also, it has plenty of parking out front, and they have a side entrance for those who can't/don't want to use the front door's steps. - Their front office staff and vet techs are great, super friendly and professional. They also handle you calling them for advice all the time very well, and they're good at getting the docs advice when needed; which saves you needless trips to vet, for minor cat health issues. The 2 veterinarians at A Cat Practice are both very professional, discuss treatment options/costs with you up front, and love cats, it shows! I've never been to Sliver Springs Hospital, but I can tell you A Cat Practice is more affordable than Friendship Hospital. The main reason I keep coming back to A Cat Practice is because they only do cats. So, without all of the dogs, A Cat Practice is not hostile waiting room environment for cats, like Friendship Hospital's facility. For emergencies, esp. for 24 hr services, I do recommend Friendship Hospital, but for your everyday vet, A Cat Practice is a must go to for any cat lover.

Great vet techs and a very nice, knowledgeable vet.

The vet was rough with my cat and not warm or caring. She really didn't seem to have a way with animals. Strange. Half of the admin staff was cold and rude. Two were very kind and helpful. They were expensive and I found another vet who gave me more treatment options to choose from and seemed far more knowledgeable. Silver Spring Animal Hospital was soooo much better and more affordable too.

I find the new staff to be very friendly and caring. The new vet takes her time with the kitties by having 30min appointments.

After reading the other reviews I am surprised because my experiences have only been positive. I have a high maintenance, not so nice cat who has been through several vets (asked nicely to not come back by one, and made a vet tech cry at another) and the staff at A Cat Practice have not only been able to handle her, but have helped me to manage her behavior issues throughout the past year and a half. They have been open and honest about pricing, never over-charging me and offering me affordable options (suggesting the cheapests meds, suggesting one ex ray instead of two to help lower costs). Dr. Reidy is kind and knowledgable, and when I had questions about my cat's chronic UTIs referenced recent professional talks she has been to about managing cats with the issue (I was very impressed). In my experience, the front staff are all very nice as well. Some are less talkative initially, but I do not equate this to be rude. I would recommend A Cat Practice to anyone looking for quality, affordable cat care!
