What do pet parents says?
My first time at this vet and they were wonderful. Very friendly and patient and super knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure what to expect cost-wise since... vet visits can be expensive but I thought it was very reasonable. Thank you for answering all of my questions so thoroughly!read more
Love this vet. Have always had quick appointments and everyone seems to really care and gives good time and attention to my pets’ needs.
We love District Vet and have had amazing, exceptional, compassionate care both for our dog and our new cat by the all of the techs and Dr Evans.... Everyone has been attentive, patient, and kind, and Dr Evans goes above and beyond by truly taking her time caring for each of our animals as well as thoroughly explaining treatments and procedures. Thank you District Vet!read more
DVH is great! Our hound has been treated by multiple vets and vet-techs and each experience has been great. For me, the sign of a good vet experience... is that they talk to the animal and get down on the floor to be at eye level and make the animal comfortable. They do this here. And, we never have trouble getting an appointment. 10/10 recommend.read more
This vet office is great! My dog loves everyone there and when I’m sitting in the waiting room most of the pets coming in are so excited to be there... and see the staff. They always go above and beyond, emailing the day after to check in on my pets, cleaning out my poop-filled cat carrier, giving them toys, remembering them, etc. I love this practice!!!! And more importantly, so do my pets!!read more
District Veterinary Hospital is exemplary in care, customer service, compassion. After not so great experiences with both my dog and cat elsewhere, I... switched to DVH and I am overwhelmed with relief that I did so.Dr. Nichols’ is incredible. She approached my reactive dog without fear, a neutral emotional response, and patience. In fact all staff was completely patient, supportive, and understanding through his tantrums and willing to work through it to make it a good experience for my dog. Dr. Nichols’ really took her time assessing my pets and approached her examinations with thorough intellectual curiosity. I always leave feeling like the utmost was done for my pets and without any residual concerns that maybe something was missed.The entire staff, front desk and vet techs alike, are kind, helpful, compassionate, and interested in meeting your furry best friends.Three cheers to District Vet!read more
I don't usually take time out to write reviews, but after the wonderful care District Vet showed to my dog, I had to do it. My dog was experiencing... unspecified pain in his knee and neck, and I grew concerned as he whimpered and wasn't his good old self. I was able to schedule a visit immediately using their user-friendly online portal. The vets there were kind and highly experienced, and administered the right medication for my dog. It has been a few days, and he is back to full energy and playing like he used to. I am so grateful to have this hospital near me, and I would highly recommend using their services!read more
I've visited all three district vet locations over the years and have only had positive experiences. The vets always reach out after appointments to... check on how my cat was doing, they explained everything clearly, and told me costs before performing any bloodwork. It's not cheap, but that is any vet care.read more
I absolutely love this place. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful—they always take the time to answer all my questions about my dog. He recently... had to undergo multiple surgical procedures, and since he’s a senior (12 years old), I was really worried. Dr. Evans and Dr. Hayes were amazing; they helped me feel confident throughout the process and addressed every concern I had.We recently had a large mass removed, and he’s now recovering. The team checks in regularly to see how he’s doing, and their attentiveness means a lot. Every time I bring him in, I feel like he’s in truly good hands.read more

Excellent care for both kitties. The Dr’s thoroughly explained every process.
Wry kind and helpful.
We are from out of state and needed emergency blood work for our little dog with ITP. District Veterinary Hospital at Eastern Market scheduled us in... quickly, did a thorough and gentle exam, did the blood work, analyzed and carefully explained everything, and patiently answered our questions (we had a lot of them!). Dr. Camden and all of the techs and receptionists we worked with were first-rate. We could not have been happier with the compassionate and kind care our little pup received. Highly recommend!read more
I love Dr. Evans. This vet is 45min from my house but the team here is so kind and professional I’d never go anywhere else. My dog is nervous with... other vets but Dr. Evans keeps her calm and happy to come to the vet. Can’t say enough good things about this place.read more
Dr. Evans and staff are very helpful. I can tell that they care about their work and our dog.
Great staff - see you quickly and care about the animals
District Vet Eastern Market is the best vet practice we've ever used. They've guided us through surgeries, trivial issues, checkups, anxious pets,... and anything that we've needed with patience and expertise. There's literally nobody else I would trust with the health of our pets. Thank you, District Vet!read more
I've been a client of DVH for 16 years, when Dr. Teich opened his first practice in Brookland. I'm a regular at the Eastern Market office now, and... everyone, from the beautiful ladies at the front desk, to the fabulous vet techs, and the veterinarians have always been wonderful to work with. They treat me and my dogs with respect. They listen to me when I am being a 'helicopter' dog owner and always calm me down and take exceedingly good care of my pups. They have referred me to specialists, when necessary, and always follow up after treatment. I highly recommend District Veterinary Hospital, and will continue to take my pups there, knowing I and my pets will always be treated with care and respect.read more
Been coming here for years since my dog was a puppy and they always take great care of him.
The vets are very friendly and caring toward my dog. They are willing to answer questions over email, which has helped put our mind at ease when... something is off about her routinemread more
I think District Vet is great! Everyone is so pleasant and competent. Going to the vet is not my dog's favorite thing to do, but she is also okay... with it.And, she usually gets a yellow, squeaky ball to take home with her. It is her favorite toy ever!read more
Excellent customer service, the veterinarian explained me everything in detail.
My pets and I have been going to District Vet since they opened. They have faithfully cared for (and loved) each one of them. We are so grateful that... our neighborhood has such a good team that we trust.read more
