Dr. Deborah Tierney and Dr. Irvin Herling opened Doc · Side Veterinary Medical Center in 1999 with a promise to provide the absolute best medical care available to the pets of Fells Point and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Recognized as downtown Baltimore’s premier animal hospital, Doc · Side offers the most advanced veterinary medical procedures available today.  We were one of the first hospitals in Maryland to offer a new, minimally invasive surgical technique to spay our canine and feline friends.  This new procedure is less painful, takes less time and, in most cases, allows your pet to go home the same day and resume normal activity immediately.

Together, with a highly trained
and professional staff, we offer compassionate and loving care in
a modern state-of-the-art facility. 
Our services range from annual wellness exams, and dental care
to a full spectrum of laboratory
testing, imaging and surgical procedures, as well as in-house
and online pharmacy options.

Thousands of clients have put their
trust in Doc · Side to ensure the
health and well-being of their pets.
We thank them for their confidence
and loyalty and we welcome the opportunity to have you join
our family.
