We provide a full range of services, more than can be described in a few sentences or bullet points. When you bring your pet to us, we realize that you are putting your full trust in our methods. Here are more detailed descriptions for those who like to dig deeply. Regular physical exams play an important role in health maintenance, prevention, and early recognition of potential larger problems.
Since our pets cannot talk to us, they are often unable to communicate an issue before it becomes a major concern and possible threat to their well being. Also, our animal companions have a shorter lifespan than we do, so their health can change significantly, relatively quickly. For these reasons, we recommend regular wellness exams; yearly for young, healthy pets; biannually for our senior patients.

Our first visit to the Washington Square Vet Clinic was a success: from the front desk staff, to our tech, to Dr. B - each person was kind, professional, attentive, and loving toward my peculiar gal, Hazel. Others pluses: reception area is clean and bright, no scary vet smells to freak out the dog, proactive next-appointment-making, and plenty of parking with a Pete's coffee next door. Vaccines for Hazel, caffeine for me. Thank you!

First time customer, brought my small breed dog in for a checkup and was super happy with Dr Sharon's compassion, professionalism and love for animals. She explained and recommended things to me and it was an overall great experience for my timid girl. The front desk gals we're great, too. Thank you for caring as much about her health as I do!!

I love Dr Sharon Johnson. She is warm and caring and treats my pets and me as if we were family. Her explanations are clear and understandable... her diagnosis and treatment suggestions, spot on. With decades of experience I am confident that Dr Johnson knows the best course of action for my dogs' continued good health.
The staff is also outstanding. Each member works to make both pets and their parents feel comfortable and safe. The procedures used during the pandemic made me feel ok about leaving my dog for surgery.
I highly recommend Dr Johnson and Washington Square Veterinary Clinic.
