I was looking at their site and their pics look like a very old small facility. Was that your impression?.

It’s very small (only one exam room) but I didn’t get the impression their stuff is old or outdated.

Just because an office looks dated, it doesn’t mean the provider is less competent. My best optometrist had an office that had decor from the 70s. I have seen some swanky dental offices that did shit work. I am a dentist and don’t believe that you necessarily get what you pay for.

My pup’s internist (from Friendship Animal Hospital) suggested we go to this dental place in Gaithersburg too. They deal with only canine dental issues so they are very on top of all types of scenarios that can happen. He suggested this over just dental work at a normal vet office because my dog is a senior with bad teeth. He said that a lot of times older dogs when they have their teeth pulled they break apart and depending on the severity, this isn’t something you want a general vet to deal with.

Being that my dog is old, I showed concern about having her go through it and he told me that he gets his dogs dental work done there too and think they do a great job and it’s what they do all day everyday.

We haven’t scheduled it yet because of some other things that have come up but when we do we will be taking her there.
