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!

Celebrating World Veterinary Day, Iran edition! 🇮🇷🐾🎂
Our amazing tech, Elahe, who is also from Iran, surprised Dr. Nazari with a cake to celebrate his dedication to veterinary medicine and the journey that brought him here. ❤️
Dr. Nazari has been practicing veterinary medicine since 2003, and after coming to the U.S., he took on the challenge of completing his exams and requirements to continue doing what he loves—caring for animals. 🩺🐶🐱
Today we’re giving him his flowers (and cake! 🎂) for the years of hard work, perseverance, and compassion he brings to his patients every day.
Happy World Veterinary Day, Dr. Nazari! We’re lucky to have you leading our CityVet Chevy Chase team. 🐾❤️
