CVCA Cardiac Care For Pets

CVCA (Gaithersburg location) is a premier location for cardiac care for dogs and cats. They are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. They have the staff, faciilities and diagnostic equipment to provide thorough evaluations and recommended care for your dog or cat. Additionally, I found they are sensitive and understanding of the concerns and support of the owners. In particular, Lead Doctor Cain and Dr. Bartling provided me with the time, information and follow through necessary to save my dog who has a serious heart and respiratory condition. I will appreciate their efforts forever. The entire staff was also committed to a level of care I have never seen before and I have had dogs for many years. They have emergency services which helped at my dogs time of need.

Everyone was kind and professional, my dog is usually not great with new people but they did great with her. She stayed relaxed throughout the appt, and staff answered all my questions very thoroughly.

The cardiologist and vet techs were so thorough and kind. They really put the effort in to make our senior cat feel at ease during the exam. You can tell they really care about the animals they work with.

All of my visits here with my cat, Jem, have been positive experiences, including our recent and first- time visit with Dr. Dan Stern. The staff are so kind, compassionate and supportive and they are wonderful with Jem. Dr. Stern, as has Dr. Cain in our past visits, took the time to explain in detail his diagnostic findings, propose the best treatment options for Jem, and address all of my concerns and questions. For all of this, I thank you CVCA Team! ~Phyllis (and Jem) Smith

The nurse helped carry my cat back cause I couldn't, and doctor Cain was very explicit in his explanations to me. Plus while I was waiting in the lobby, I could have gotten coffee water or a snack from machines! But the most important part was the skill of the veterinary cardiologist Also this is really from Connie not someone named carrie

The care we've gotten at the CVCA has been exceptional. The doctor always explains exactly whats going on and will show areas on the screen of what he is looking at and what would happen if things got worse. The whole CVCA group has been amazing.

We have been bringing our dog here for two years. We have seen Dr Cain and Dr Rosenthal for echo cardiograms and diagnosis. Our most recent visit was with Dr Rosenthal. He spent quite a while with us explaining the results to us. The veterinary technicians that assisted were Kimberly and Cheryl. They were all collectively outstanding. The care, gentleness, understanding and professionalism were much appreciated. The office returns calls quickly and spend any length of time you need on the phone. The staff just gives a feeling of really caring for your pet. We’ve been 4 or 5 times. Great visits each time.
