I can’t fully express how happy I am that I found Small Door Veterinary and the care from Terri LVT and Dr. Wells! ❤️ My pup is the love of my life and I’m always worried about him or just get scared when visiting a new vet, but this wasn’t the case. Their waiting room is spacious, very open and inviting, we barely spend any time there since Dr. Wells was super quick to look for us! The exam rooms are just AMAZING, Terri and Dr. Wells were so kind and went through absolutely everything with my fur baby! He had toys and was able to move freely in the room while we discussed his care. I am so beyond grateful that I signed up for the membership and looking forward to our next checkup!

Small Door exceeds my expectations with every interaction. The office is pristine and the staff is friendly and attentive. My cat is extremely anxious and they always take the extra time to make him feel comfortable - even letting him roam around the room and take over the human seating! I used to get stressed out at the thought of even having to call the vet but with small door makes the experience so painless it's almost enjoyable.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Don’t want to overreact but it was June when I purchased the membership at Navy Yard location and don’t regret at all. Service is outstanding, they are super friendly with my 65 pounds, 10 year old dog. When it comes to seeing the vet he gets very anxious and nervous but here he is excited to see the nurses. Even I feel excited knowing they will take the time. It’s a relief 😮💨 The Medical Team and the ladies at the front desk are very profesional and have great communication. I want to thank Dr. Mike Dugan, Sarah, Stacey, Rachel, Misha (chat) and the nurses at Navy Yard for their assistance. I highly recommend to purchase Wellness+ for Dogs. All the best for Small Door.

We had a wonderful experience at Small Door Navy Yard. Our cat is usually very reluctant at the vet, but Nurse Terri and Dr. Wells made our cat feel so relaxed and comfortable. They took their time explaining everything they were doing and we never felt rushed. They were both kind and professional. Also, the facilities are absolutely beautiful! It felt like a (human!) spa! We had an overall amazing experience and we’re glad to have found such a great practice.

We are first time pet owners. Dr. Wells, Nurse Terri, and Nurse Kim were so patient with us and our pup. They answered all of our silly questions with grace and a smile. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
