Louie was a senior rescue and I was a first time dog owner. From the very beginning, Dr. Nazari made sure I understood what was happening with Louie. He took the time to explain every condition, answer every question—no matter how many I had—and make sure I felt informed and supported. He explored every possible avenue to give Louie the best treatment and the best quality of life he could.
What meant the most to me was the genuine care he showed Louie beyond simply treating him. During Louie’s final days, after receiving treatments practically everyday throughout the week, Dr. Nazari allowed Louie to rest and sleep comfortably in his office. That simple act of kindness meant more to me than I can put into words. He also went out of his way to make Louie’s care as manageable as possible for me, always showing consideration and generosity when he could.
When it became time to make the heartbreaking decision to let Louie go, Dr. Nazari treated both of us with such compassion, patience, and dignity. He understood how much Louie meant to me and made an incredibly painful moment feel as peaceful and loving as possible.
After Louie passed, the veterinary staff shared a beautiful tribute to him. Knowing that Louie had made an impression on the people who cared for him was incredibly comforting. It reminded me that he wasn’t just another patient—they truly cared about him.
I adopted Louie knowing I might not have him for very long, but I never imagined our time together would be so short. I will always wish I had more time with him. But I am deeply grateful that during those precious months, Louie had a veterinarian who cared for him so deeply and advocated for him every step of the way.
Dr. Nazari, thank you for caring for my little old man, for fighting for him, for caring for me through some of the hardest moments, and for helping me give Louie the love and dignity he deserved until the very end. I will never forget it. ❤️
The Ladies working for Dr. Nazari are outgoing , friendly and lovely to deal with!

🌈🐾 Run free, sweet Louie. 🐾🌈
We said goodbye to a very special boy. 🤍 Louie was a sweet Chihuahua mix who was lucky enough to find his forever mom later in life. She gave him the most beautiful final chapter filled with love, comfort, and all the spoiling he deserved. 🥹❤️
During his time with us, Louie received nothing short of VIP treatment—from cozy naps in the doctor’s office to extra cuddles and plenty of love from our team. He quickly became one of those special patients who leaves paw prints on everyone’s heart. 🐾💙
We’re so grateful Louie got to spend his final months knowing just how loved he was. Thank you to his mom for giving him that gift. ❤️
Rest peacefully, sweet Louie. Your little paws may be gone from our clinic, but your memory will always be here. 🌈🐶💔
Small dog. Big heart. Forever loved. 🐾🤍

🤍 Forever in our hearts, Bailey 🤍
Today, we remember sweet Bailey, a beloved Bichon Frise who touched the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. 🐾
While our time with her was far too short, we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to care for her and be part of her journey.
Our thoughts are with Bailey’s family as they navigate this difficult loss. May the memories of her sweet face, little paws, and unconditional love bring comfort in the days ahead. 🌈🐾
Run free, sweet Bailey. You will always be part of the CityVet family. 🤍
Until we meet again, sweet girl. 🐾

Your pet comes to CityVet Chevy Chase and immediately becomes everyone’s new best friend 😂🐾💙
Around here, visits come with lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs, sweet talk… and if Dr. Nazari is involved, probably WAY more treats than medically necessary 😂🦴👀 We’re pretty sure “just one more” is his favorite phrase.
This is what a visit looks like with our team: plenty of care, plenty of attention, and pets being treated like the VIPs they are. 🥰🐶🐱
Safe to say, the treat budget never stood a chance. 😂
