In 1990 the Village Veterinary Clinic (established in 1968) was purchased by Dr. Mark Liberto, a Maryland native. His vision was to bring what was Gaithersburg's first small animal hospital into the 21st century, offering advanced diagnostics like ultrasound and radiology and complicated surgical procedures typically only provided by specialists.

When you arrive for your appointment, our reception staff will collect your information and any existing medical history you can provide on your pet. It's always best to provide us with the name of any other hospitals who have treated your pet, so that we can request a copy of the medical history and review it prior to your appointment with us.

I love it here! My s/o family recommended us this vet - top notch care and amazing from the front to the tech & doctors. Nail trims are quick and always available , sick visits are definitely a must for us and even when I have “ questions “ they are always delivered to the doctor and responded on time. I literally never have to call to follow up on anything, they are on it!!
We have seen Dr.Lamar and she has always given us great care and we have always felt safe with every decision made. We have a rescue that was a stray & had HW, was in very bad shape and doctor Lamar has gone above and

I absolutely LOVE this vet! I took my dog to Dr. Liberto 20 years ago and now I am bringing my puppy to him again. Dr. Liberto and Dr. Lamar are both extremely skilled, kind, compassionate doctors. As long as I live in this area, I will be taking my pets here.

I bring my current foster cats here for extensive medical issues, including treatment for mites and infections, diagnosing diabetes, and extracting almost a whole mouth of teeth. Everyone, from the office staff to vet techs and vets themselves, is respectful, patient, and understanding. Doctors and vet techs explain every detail thoroughly as possible and are willing to take the time to address every question or concern, even if the practice starts getting busy. Appointments are pretty easy to schedule with their flexible practice hours and relatively quick availabilities. Coming here definitely

Love it here. My dogs are getting older & I felt they needed more attention than they were getting at Banfield. Best decision I ever made. The staff & doctors are great, so are the goats!
