5+ stars . Not only did they take excellent are of our chocolate lab, that went above and beyond with their customer service. Dr. Hutt was compassionate, explained everything in details remaining very honest about costs.

We were referred to the Dental Center after Banfield Towson took x-rays of my 10 year old dorky's teeth for the first time in his life. We move a lot and always use Banfield. This was the first one to push for x-rays. Then when they saw the extensive damage, I felt it was very professional of them to hand us off to experts. I honestly didn't even know animal dentists existed. In conversation with Dr. Hutt I learned that there are fewer than 300 in the whole country. I feel very fortunate to have such a commodity within my current community. We started with a different doctor who thoroughly explained everything, to include the breakdown in cost. But then my family got covid. So to reschedule the surgery as soon as possible we had to switch doctors. But once again, Dr. Hutt was very thorough and answered all of my questions before the surgery. The whole team is great. We were encouraged to call for updates during our little guy's surgery, which my husband did. The nurse brought him out to the car after the procedure and just bragged on how good he was. They've already emailed a couple of times with aftercare and records and called to check on him the day after the surgery. I will admit that there was some initial sticker shock. But I will say that Banfield would have charged about the same or more and they aren't as qualified. Here we were given a quote with low to high end, so we knew what to expect. He went in with the expectation of losing around 20 teeth. They ended up taking 25, and we paid about in the middle of the estimated range. Banfield charges by the tooth. So we would have spent WAY more or had to make some hard decisions. Here they charge by supplies and time regardless of how many teeth they take. Overall, I'm so glad Banfield referred us here. Although no one ever wants to hear that their dog needs a $2k-$4k surgery to extract 20 teeth, if I have to do it I'd rather go with an expert. It's a decision I definitely don't regret.

Dr. Luskin and his colleagues took amazing care of my kitten who had injured himself pretty significantly. Imagine being told that your kitten who was all but recovered from a neuter/declaw procedure had broken his jaw in 3 places and broken a tooth......in an unknown apparently freak accident. While I'm thrilled that this specialty center exists, who knew? This is an active teaching facility with 4 convenient locations throughout Maryland and into Leader Heights, PA. Dr. Luskin himself also cares for the "big" cats at the Baltimore Zoo. Minus one star only for communication/technical issues that apparently revolve around upgrading their EMR system for the first time in 20 years.
