I have been taking my guinea pigs to him for 2 years now and he takes really good care of them. He is knowledgable and handles the pigs very gently. His staff is friendly and very helpful. And all areas of the building that I have seen are nice and clean. I've had all positive experiences with this vet. You are more apt to see ferrets, rabbits and guinea pigs in his waiting room than dogs or cats, although he treats them all.

Dr. DiMaria is absolutely fantastic. She is very cavy savvy and has treated all three of my pigs since I brought them home. She sucessfully neutered Eddie, and put him immediately on antibiotics to prevent any issues, he healed beautifully. She is also helping me through Jane's pregnancy and has been very reassuring. Dr. Casey has not treated my pigs yet but I have had very good feedback about her from other pig owners.

Riverdale
Dr. Thomas Carman
Lynn Animal Hospital
6215 Baltimore Avenue
Riverdale, MD 20737
(301) 779-1184
Dr. Carmans' office is approximately a mile south of the University of Maryland. There are 2 or 3 other vets practicing at Lynns', but Dr. Carman is the small animal vet. He gives my pigs regular exams and, in addition, has treated some of them for skin fungal infections. Two of my pigs over the years had tumors and he performed surgery on them, the pigs went on to live good, happy, healthy lives. I also boarded my pigs' at Lynn Animal Hospital when I went on vacation last year. Dr. Carman, the other vets, and the Staff at Lynns' are great, they give the right balance of professional care and cuddles to your pets, whatever type of animal you may have. Dr. Carman is always willing to answer your questions and willing to hear about new treatments, etc., for guinea pigs that you may know about; after all, as he said, guinea pig care isnt' really taught in vet school, and there's always new information out there. I've recommended him to other people who have pets (not just piggies).
