We switched to this vet because it was much closer to our house. After constant visits and not many results, we decided to find a new vet. What drove us to that decision was when we made an appointment for my dog's legs giving out, and rather than doing a checkup, the doctor gave us an estimate for an x-ray for a minimum of $1,500. I paid the visit fee and left. I had my dog's records sent to the humane society and made an appointment. The doctor at the humane society performed a full exam and informed us that he did not need an X-ray yet. From her exam, she found that it was more of a neurological issue due to his response to certain movements. She said that if he were to need an x-ray, it would be for his back, not his legs. She saved us $1,500!!! I highly recommend shopping around for vets, especially when you are questioning the price of the services. This is not the first time that Capitol Area quoted us high amounts. It’s not only about the price but also the care for our pets. Again, we were not noticing any results, which made us question everything.

We just moved here from South Carolina with our three very big dogs. It's easier for me to just get their vet care done all at one time, so when I got inside, I figured the staff would be somewhat frustrated I would be in the waiting room with them. But not only were they not frustrated, but some of the staff came out to love on my babies. The waiting room is really well laid out. The doctor was awesome. They gave each dog very individualized attention, AND spent lots of time talking to me about each dogs care plan, considering they used different types of meds than what my former vet used. They even told me how (who to contact) to update their chips. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else! As you can see, my dogs were comfortable and content enough to lay on the floor as we waited for their meds... And the checkup room was super spacious and quite comfortable.

Echoing some previous comments that the staff and medical professionals were very nice and knowledgeable but the prices are extremely high. Moreover, they are not upfront about pricing and pressured me into the six month supply of flea prevention (for my indoor cat) without mentioning the $200 price tag. My fault for not asking before hand but a warning that it was so pricey would have saved me a good deal of headache.

The staff and medical personnel are very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the pricing at this location is significantly above other veterinarians. For a sedated x-ray of my dog's legs, they had estimated ~$1500. I went to another vet and their estimate was $450.

Dr. Stake is an unbelievable vet!! I trust him 1000% with my dachshund, Izzy, and my cat, Kotyk. We have been going here over 10 years and he has cared for many pets for us. Best vet practice I’ve ever used, last one I will ever use! Can’t speak highly enough of the level of care, compassion, and support they have provided to us over the years.
