Nobody tends to your precious pet more than you. However, what if there was a doctor who cared just as much as you do?  Georgetown Vet, Dr. Lee Morgan and his team mirror the same affection when it comes to providing exceptional animal care.  B   y the time a dog or cat shows symptoms of a particular disease, it has progressed “significantly” said dr. morgan.  Showing true compassion for animals is simple, but providing medical care can lead to wavering complexity. especially, when the care provided is targeted to the other 2 million species, beyond the human race.  A traditional vet is familiar with a diverse clientele. however, Georgetown Veterinary hospital is incomparable to any other dC clin-ic. dr. morgan and his clinic take heightened action in caring for any animal companion. Their mission is striving for optimal personal-ized care, emphasizing prevention and early detection. unlike many other vets, dr. morgan’s jour-ney was fairly different.  he recalls becoming interested in veterinary medicine during under-graduate study at Case Western reserve univer-sity. during this time, he was a dolphin trainer for a company who contracted for several ven-ues, such as: King’s dominion and Six flags.  it was an interesting job because dr. morgan was responsible for the health and well-being of the dolphins.  Yet, with more of a research and sci-ence background opposed to working his way up the ladder, the process of becoming a repu-table veterinarian was challenging. After 12 years of day-to-day clinical experi-ence, dr. morgan faced a variety of obstacles, diagnosis’ and learning lessons.  The most rigorous in his career has been applying medi-cal theory to actual cases.  Since becoming the Georgetown Veterinary hospital owner in June 2002, dr. morgan still admires the connection between pet owners and their pets. it is the bond which warms his heart. No matter the challenge or obstacle, Dr. Morgan is always pleased  to see the loving  relationship between the pet and its owner.

The Georgetown Veterinary hospital is known to provide patients with the utmost care. Thus, they have won numerous awards. Since 1948 (with only three owners since then), the clinic has been in business. With astonishing commitment to ethics, last year dr. morgan and his team were awarded by the Capitol Area Small Business ethics Awards as “Small Business of the year, 2008”. The latest award honored to the Georgetown Veterinary hospital was the “Morris Animal Foundations Vet of the Year” (february 2009).  After being featured in “Best Vets in DC” by the Washingtonian magazine (twice), dr. morgan and his team continue to raise the bar. in 2005, the hospital had two prestigious achievements: being selected as the iAmS Company “Veteri-narian of the Year” and when dr. morgan was given the AVmA Practitioner Award for his research in veterinary medicine.With a vast wealth of experience under his belt, dr. morgan prides himself on having a strong, caring, “one-on- one” relationship with all of his patients.  The Georgetown Veterinary hospital has been involved with rather interest-ing animals. last year, the clinic provided vet services for the National Geographic Society’s “frogs” exhibit.  dr. morgan has also worked with a facility in maine to help rehabilitate sick and injured seals.  The Georgetown Veterinary hospital’s greatest endeavor is to provide high-quality care to all animals. The clinic recently learned that the Wash-ington, dC Police dept.’s K-9 unit is in dire need of a mobile veterinary clinic. dogs work-ing with the dC Police department are typi-cally deployed on missions and are unable to leave for any medical treatment until the site is secure. immediate care would satisfy both the care and needs of each dog; however, it would be more beneficial to the dC Police depart-ment.  in the event of serious injuries, the mobile vet would allow immediate medical care onsite before transferring the dog to a pri-mary care facility. To help make the mobile vet a reality, a non-profit foundation, The robert Walter morgan foundation, has been estab-lished in hopes of securing funds.  under-standing the importance of exceptional care for the police dogs, the Georgetown Veteri-nary hospital has thus far collected $30,000 dollars (only half the cost to get started).  Aside from caring for 20-30 clients a day, dr. morgan has high hopes for the hospital’s future. Perhaps grooming will be the next addi-tion to services provided. dr. morgan feels the most important of service is that his clinic pro-vides clients with “strong, compassionate, and competent medical services”.  There are plenty of ‘mega-mart’ corporate vet clinics out there. Georgetown Veterinary hospital does not need to morph into one of those,” says dr. morgan.  Providing exponential care to patients is a core value to the clinic. Sticking to what they know best, dr. morgan and his team “CAre for PeTS…and their people” exceptionally!
