Dupont Veterinary Clinic

William Crimmins

We tried several different vets in DC before landing at DuPont Vet Clinic and we’ll never go anywhere else. The staff are amazing, the animal care is great. And I’ve never felt like the prices were extraordinary, and certainly never felt like we were pushed into anything unnecessary (which I can’t say is true of most veterinary offices these days)!

I adore Dupont Vet Clinic, for years I had Babygirl and Leo under their care. In 2020 we experienced many things during Covid. This Clinic was and is always ethically responsible and morally caring with Deep Compassion for the little furry family members we place in their care. We lost Babygirl and Leo years apart but not related to anything Dupont had or had not done. Our furbabies were joined at the furry paws. They started out as friend-a-mies but became close like sister and brother. During their lifetime, Dupont was there. Babygirl once came down with a strange anomaly in her ear, a rare tumor, benign but critical to her continued ability to hear and see. My current Vet. Which is Al-lynn Animal Hospital had back then in 2020, recommended me to a surgical vet way out in Virginia for the delicate surgery. When I got there, the vet (whom shall remain nameless) recommended surgery after 2 x-rays. However the surgery was frightening and I was told she would be disfigured for life and lose her hearing in the left side and lose an eye since he had to cut a certain way. I cried, paid the $500.00 for x-rays done and went home with a heavy heart. Well I was between vets, I always use 2, because of distance, and price, and integrity. No vet is perfect nor do all doctors know everything and it's advisable to always not panic, use wisdom, calm down, pray, listen to God, hear from God and then ACT on what you are told. I am a believer and woman grounded In Christ. I decided to call Dupont, although they too had told me, the type of surgery Babygirl needed, they did not accommodate. Well God told me to call Dupont and ask AGAIN. So I told the rep that answered my call PLEASE 🙏 ask doctor MAVERICK if he knew anyone, someone who could help my darling Babygirl? My 5 minute on hold felt like eternity. Finally this second call 2 weeks after the first death diagnosis yielded hope. Doc MAVERICK came to the phone. Told me they meaning Dupont Clinic was not equipped to perform the surgery Babygirl needed. HOWEVER, he knew of a traveling specialist on wheels that could be called to travel to Dupont to do the surgery. When I explained to doc MAVERICK that most of my funds had been spent on the vet in Virginia that wanted to turn my Babygirl into Frankenstein and I had not much left. Doc MAVERICK told me he'd do his best to ask the surgeon on wheels to discount the needed surgery, but no promises. I think it took a few days. But finally Dupont called me back, the front desk clerk told me the day I could come to Dupont for the surgery for Babygirl but first visit would be a consultation with the specialist. The Doctor on Wheels not only was compassionate but lowered the cost so Babygirl could get surgery and live. I had gotten my stimulus checks in 2020. I used both and by God's mercy the amount charged, was half of the cost of the total surgery, with $400 left over which was enough to get aftercare by Doctor MAVERICK and the awesome staff of DUPONT CLINIC. I WAS grateful in tears once the on call surgeon met with me on consult to discuss the surgical procedure in details. The on call surgeon was kind, highly professional, ethically responsible and deep love and compassion for furry babies and respectful for the parents. I was further surprised that the consult turned into DAY OF SURGERY, as the need was great after the on call surgeon had assessed Babygirl. I had come prepared as the other vet had scared me so bad. But the on-call surgeon at Dupont Clinic told me, most of what the other vet said, was not true. Now Babygirl did have a polyp in her right ear, attached, growing from the bone in her ear, which was rare. The polyp was angled in a weird place down in her ear canal near her right eye and growing out of the skull close to the bone of the right ear, but not cancerous, not a tumor, only a polyp although tricky it could be removed. The surgery was done and Babygirl had an overnight stay for observation, I think I got to take her home in 2 or 3 days later. DUPONT CLINIC and Doc MAVERICK are awesome!

Love Dupont Veterinary Clinic soooooo much. Always make sure my little Ellie feels comfortable and also takes great care of her in her visits. That goes for both Doctors and staff members. 10/10 best Vet.

I can not emphasize how much I appreciate Dupont Vet Clinic. Their staff is always kind and courteous, going above and beyond. After the visits and exams, the doctor goes out of her way to call me and check in that everything is alright and that my cats are happy and well. I am very very pleased with my experiences at Dupont Vet Clinic.

Honestly I don't have enough good things to say about Dupont Vet Clinic - my dog is literally the devil the second he steps foot in the door, and they are always SO accommodating and understanding and patient when he's literally trying kill them the entire time. There's a vet tech gentleman with longer hair who is so phenomenal with my dog while he's being evil/nervous/won't calm down. A few years ago my dog ingested a shoe and they ultimately did his surgery to remove it, but gave me the names and numbers and referrals to other vets and hospitals in the area to ensure I could look into other options and prices for I had all the info, just 10/10 recommend, I keep moving farther away and won't switch vets.
