The reviews mention both positive and negative experiences with the care and treatment provided by Potomac Animal Hospital. One reviewer praised the hospital for taking good care of their cat's thyroid condition and suggesting a compounding transdermal medication that has been effective. However, several reviewers had negative experiences, including feeling pressured into expensive and invasive procedures, and experiencing poor communication and follow-up care.
Staff and Leadership
The reviews also mention issues with the staff and leadership at Potomac Animal Hospital. One reviewer praised Dr. Michael Scott, a previous doctor at the hospital, as wonderful, honest, and compassionate. However, they expressed concerns about his son, Jason Scott, who they felt was overly aggressive in recommending treatments. Another reviewer criticized the leadership of Shana, stating that she had an aggressive staff with poor customer service skills and implemented policies that prioritized the company over customer needs.

One reviewer mentioned that they were not notified of their pet's test results, and when they called to inquire, they were met with a curt response. Another reviewer criticized the hospital's policies, such as requiring pre-payment before retrieving a pet, and the lack of obligation to notify customers of changes or issues.
