I was not impressed at all. I saw a dr there who was pushing for a surgical biopsy on my cat which was very very risky do to the location..the dr had also wanted an mri done at close to 3000 dollars...(i had already done a cat scan at another facility). Doing either one of these things was not going to change my outcome..it would only confirm what they thought was the diagnosis..i wasn't going to risk killing my cat with a surgery. In the end my vet was able to get an accurate diagnosis with a needle biopsy without hurting my cat. I got my answer with no risk to my pet. I personally didn't think this was one of the better animal hospitals.

This is an interesting rating website. Seems feedback is either great or really bad. I've had 2 surgical experiences with Metropolitan. First with Dr. Nannos and most recently with Dr. Niles for soft tissue work. The work performed both times had excellent outcomes. My dogs were well cared for and we came home with very specific instructions for after care. Both times the Dr's. called several times after surgery and made themselves available for questions. They are very expensive but not out of range of other veterinary clinics and unlike some of their colleages with a lower level of integrity (Fairfax, PA), they provided an itemized estimate for the work within minutes of our request for a breakdown. I will continue to bring my dog's to Metropolitan even though we are an hour and a half away and it's not convenient at all for us. We want the best care and we get that at Metropolitan.

I have only been to Metropilitan Veterinary Associates one time. I am the founder of Above and Beyond English Setter Rescue and my foster dog got terrible seizures. We visited Dr. Jerry Northington, the neurologist, at this facility and he did wonders for Zorro. I was very happy with the time he took with Zorro and myself. I had access to e-mail him with questions after our visit and was always responded to promptly. Zorro's life changed 100% for the better after our visit. I cannot speak to any other services there, but I recommend Dr. Northington highly.

If looking for an emergency vet, I would look elsewhere. Our cat had been neutered,surgery dehisced(stitches broke) his intestines had fallen out. Took him there, while waiting for vet,an attendant came out with "parcel" - something(presumably post mortem pet)wrapped in paper and bound with duct tape,only a simple "here" verbalized as it was handed over to the owner. Finally vet came out,told us our cat didn't have much of a chance,not worth operating,advised putting cat to sleep.We insisted he try to help the cat,he demanded maximum amount of surgery fee+ up front, cash/credit card only. While we were on phone trying to find another emergency vet (waiting for them to bring our cat back out to us), someone else was getting the same euthanization speech we got. I left $350 poorer, our cat would not be turned back over to us till we had paid.Their fees were not mentioned beforehand by them. Luckily I got him to another emergency vet, the cat is alive and doing well!

My seizure dog was treated by the a specialist at this facility. The specialist did not care about the dog's previous blood work, did not care about the medication the dog was on and did not care that the animal was already susceptible to liver disease. He prescribed Rimadyl for a minor sprain. I was not given any warnings about the medication, nor was I provided with a Client Information Sheet regarding the side effects of Rimadyl. When his abdomen started swelling, I was then charged almost $1000 for them to determine what was wrong - chronic liver disease. With his medical history and recent blood work, he should never have been prescribed Rimadyl. The result was that he had to be put to sleep. Be forwarned!
