We have been going to the Gomaa's for over 20 years now. Our previous cats and our current cats. Both Ash and Senior have been nothing but a delight all of these years and most recently Ash diagnosed our cat Leia with Saddle Thrombus. He was able to act quickly and prescribe the proper meds, made sure that we check in with him and he was incredibly attentive to her. He saved her. Everyone in our family goes here, our friends go here. I highly recommend people to trust them with their family of pets. Its more of a family than a service. Thank you! read more

This is the vet for you if you are looking for a vet where you are expected to walk in, sit down, shut up and give them your credit card. Don't politely ask questions. IF you have the audacity to do such a thing, expect the son to get in your face from behind the counter. read more

The doctor was horrible made the experience of putting my 16 year old dog to sleep 100x worse.

Saved My Dog My dog tore his ACL and I went to this Vet for the surgical consultation and surgery. Over 2000 dollars later, they fixed up my pooch back to almost normal. The father and son did a nice job informing and educating us on the exact process being performed and the therapy needed after the procedure. The only thing I would have liked was a follow up call after our last visit but besides that they did a very nice job repairing my best friend. If your dog needs surgery, this is a top quality place to have a procedure done. Thanks read more

I encourage anyone who loves their pet to not go here, I took my dog there knowing he had stomach issues, was couching and throwing his food up , after 5 mins they told me he was fine and was prolly kennel cough, even though he's never around others dogs, took him back said same he was fine , three weeks later my dog couldn't move called them they couldn't fit him in till next day!... well I took him to another vet ( a real one) and within 5 mins they knew he had stomach issues , after a X-ray they discovered a tumor and had to put him down)c; place is a rip off all they want is your money . Ps don't go here ! read more

Just like Megan, I've never owned a dog. I've had cats my whole life. We adopted a pup by the name of Vinny. Our current Vets office was purchased by a VCA Hospital. Since then the quality has gone down & the costs went up. I decided to take him to Abbott Animal Hospital. The visit was prompt, the cost was fair, the time & attention that was given to Vinny was surprising. The staff seems confident in what they do. I'm not at all surprised that they didn't do back flips when they saw my pup. He's a dog, no biggie. I'm sure they see thousands a year. Very happy with Abbott! read more

Teresa L.'s review is spot on and mirror's my experience. I have been taking my dog there since I got her. The first few times I went there my dog would be seen by the dad. I can understand that he may seem a little bit disinterested in the dog's human counterpart but it's about your pet and that's why you are there. Though the past few years it has manly been the youngest son who has seen my dog and the few times I see the dad in passing he is cheerful and stops to acknowledge my dog in the waiting room. Listen, the fact of the matter you are at the vet because you pet needs care. A type of care that often lightens your wallet. There is no other place around that will treat your dog as their own as well as treating your back account as their own. In other words their prices are great and their quality of care if phenomenal. Having a vet like this around certainly relieve a lot of stress in owning an animal. I hope they are here to stay for a very long time. read more

I've been with this animal hospital for almost 20 years now. Although I can admit that sometimes they are terse and more efficient than friendly, I'm still more than satisfied with their care. The veterinarians are a father and son team. Although I don't have any complaints about the father, I will say that the son is more personable and approachable and I prefer to see him. There is a young man who I often see working at the front desk. I think the reviews that mention someone being rude are probably about him. He can seem a little rough, but I've talked to him on the phone to make appointments and ask questions and he's really not so bad. He's not as friendly as he could be, though. Below I've detailed all of my experiences with them so far: Since my family got our first pets, two beagles in 1993, we've been going to Abbott Animal Hospital. We got a cat a few years later and she also went to Abbott for all of her shots and to be fixed. I am in my twenties now and was only a child then, but my parents both agree that they were satisfied with the care our pets received. As I got older and the dogs passed away (no fault of the veterinarian) we adopted another cat. Our second cat had a tumor which the animal hospital swiftly removed. That whole ordeal went so smoothly my parents and I often forget it even happened. That same cat has also been involved in a few cat fights and been injured. Every time, Abbott animal hospital sets up an appointment with us ASAP free of judgement and full of sympathy for our cat who we just can't seem to keep indoors. At 15 years old our first cat seemed to be telling us it was time for her to go. We were able to make an appointment right away and the vet was very honest yet compassionate. They explained exactly what our cat was going through and did not pressure us to put her to sleep, but it was obvious that was the best option for her. They were very kind during the procedure (the same vet who put her to sleep had been the one that fixed her when she was a kitten) and allowed us to keep her wrapped in a blanket we brought with us. They let us stay with her to say our goodbyes as long as we wanted. I really can't think of any more they could have done in such a sad situation. They made it the easiest they could for us. About 6 months later I had adopted two kittens and made my appointment with Abbott to get them started on all of their initial shots. A few members of the staff and the vets remembered me from my last visit, to put my old cat to sleep. They were very happy to see that I'd adopted kittens and spent some time answering all of my questions about how to best care for them. The kittens were pretty feisty with the vet at first, but he remained cheerful and calm. The kittens have had all of their initial shots and have been fixed without trouble. The day after the neutering surgery it was like nothing had even happened, the kittens were back to their normal playful selves. Also, if you follow them on facebook they post different tips and information about caring for pets. They don't post too often, and when they do it is something interesting. read more

Charged me $700 to look at my cat just to tell me to come back to get him fixed... Come back a week later to get him fixed and tried to charge me an additional $100 for blood work when he just got it a week prior(they have his records so they knew that). Couple days after the procedure my cat started bleeding from that area, I tried to get in contact with abbot for their "24/7 emergency services" and couldn't find that number anywhere.... I trusted abbot animal hospital and that was my biggest mistake. Spent almost $1000 just to get my cat fixed. Sad excuse for a vet. They care about money not the animals! read more

We have had an extraordinary working relationship with Dr. Gomaa and his staff for many years. Dr. Gomaa specializes in a range of services and caters to each client with the utmost compassion and professionalism. I have been involved with breeding and animal rescue for over 20 years. I have never met a vet that is so involved and concerned as Dr. Gomaa. His knowledge is unsurpassed and his pricing is fair. His is particularly generous when it comes to the rescue cases we present to him on a regular basis. He continues pursuing to better his facility and areas of practice. He is currently the only vet regionally to offer stem cell therapy which is an incredible medical breakthrough for issues large and small. Their facility is capable of issues large and small and they have the equipment and resources that rival even the largest local emergency facilities. Here's the difference: when you're a client of Abbott Animal Hospital you deal with Dr. Gomaa only. There is not a host of vets on different shifts who really don't get a personal with you and your pet. One last thing - show me ONE breeder locally who will answer the phone at 2 am and meet you in the office 20 minutes later ... I can: Dr. Gomaa. I read the reviews here and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have been a professional with animals for a very long time and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gomaa and this facility. read more

"Eek! Methinks not," does not even begin to describe how I feel about this place. I'm going to exercise great caution in this review so as not to be harassed by the owners, but I am also going to tell it how it is. For starters: I am not a dog person. I've never had a dog, I'm a lifelong cat lover and to be honest, dogs scare me. But my soon-to-be-hubs grew up with dogs and lots of them. So we decided to take the plunge and get a dog who we love dearly. I'd tell you his name and breed, but he would like to remain anonymous. The dog, that is. Not the soon-to-be-hubs. You can imagine my rollercoaster feelings about my dog, being someone who is terrified of jumping and barking and, well, dogs. I went from loving him, to being afraid of him, to loving him, to feeling anxious about and around him, to loving him, to adoring him, to being overprotective of him. It was like post(dog)partum when we first got him. I was elated the first few days and then I crashed and hid. But now there is no telling what I will do to anyone who hurts him. It was not easy when it was time to take him to the vet for his check-ups, but even worse was taking him to get fixed. Mind you, he had no idea what was happening and didn't even realize he had "parts." But it was sad to drop him off and even worse was what happened after all that. I called the hospital at about 11:30 knowing the procedure was done to check in on him. He was doing fine, drinking water and adjusting to the Cone of Shame. I started to ask some questions and was cut off and told, "Yea... you can ask all your questions when you pick him up." Thrown off, I said, "Oh. Well, all right then. I'll be there at 3:30." At 3:30 on the dot, I am there to pick up my dog. After standing at the reception desk for 15 minutes without being acknowledged, only then to be pointed at and called "the girl in the white shirt" was I allowed to squeak out the words that I was there to pick up my dog who just had surgery. "Oh, hold on." Five minutes later, I'm asked if I want pain medicine for him. What? This was never mentioned to me. When I asked about how he would react to the medication, the vet tech rolled his eyes at me and said he would ask the doctor, who, by the way, never came out to talk to me about how my dog did during surgery and what the follow up procedure was. By 4:15, I had my dog in the car and was given a paper of poorly written "after care instructions" and left to fend for myself. What about all the questions I had, you ask? None of them were answered. In fact, every time I did ask a question, I was met with a very harsh, almost sarcastic respond. Not. Cool. A fifteen minute car-ride home with my doped up, Cone of Shame wearing dog, I was on the floor of my house sobbing while talking to my soon-to-be-hubs (I'm sorry, I just feel like a snob saying fiance(e)) on the phone about what had just happened. When he got home, he read over the after care instructions and was just as lost as I was. Thankfully, his best friend his studying to become a vet and was able to answer all of our questions, but you can imagine how stupid I felt when I was being asked by co-workers whether or not my dog's stitches were dissolve-able. Huh? The day after his surgery, I was already on the hunt for a new vet. Not only did the doctors and staff at Abbott Animal Hospital treat me as the dog owner poorly, but they never called to check in about how he was doing. They also didn't call with any type of concern when a new vet called to ask for the records, which are apparently lacking in any notes of my dog's previous visits, surgery included. When you go to a vet, you want to feel like they are there because they absolutely adore and love animals. They want to do what's in the animal's best interest and tell you everything you need to know or should know about what your animal may be feeling. I never got that impression when we went there for check-ups, and I certainly didn't get that impression following the surgery. I am still so angry about the lack of bedside manners these doctors and techs showed for my dog. Maybe fixing a dog is an every day procedure that they can do with their eyes closed, but the fact remains is that this is not an everyday procedure for MY dog. The fact that I received zero face time with the doctor who performed the surgery makes me angry every time I think about it. So I strongly advise not going to this animal hospital if you would like to be given time with a doctor who is there because s/he loves doing what they do: care for animals. Never should you feel like your animal is less important that someone else's, which is exactly how we were made to feel. I hope other people have had better experiences at this animal hospital for the sake of their pets, but based on how we've been treated there from day one, we will absolutely never go back and never, ever recommend it. read more

If you are going to put a pet to sleep, please do not, DO NOT go here. My cat had a tumor and there was nothing we could do but end her suffering. We went here and they inhumanely killed her. They are supposed to sedate the animal first so they do not feel the pain of the second shot and die peacefully, but this place didn't do that. My cat suffered more than she had to suffer. Just avoid this place at all cost. read more

I have used this vet for years. The father and son are very competent. They have cared for my dogs and put one to sleep. It is a busy practice and they can be a bit businesslike but I like that. Seems some people here want to be coddled by the vet. You are paying a veterinarian to treat your animal not massage your ego. I have had a wide variety of dogs both purebreds and mixed breeds they have served me and my ex wife well for more than a decade. If you want a good veterinary team call these guys. If you want to wring a few extra weeks out of your terminally ill dog and spend thousands of dollars go to Tufts. If you want good reasonable care for your dog Abbott Animal Hospital provides that read more

USE EXTREME CAUTION WITH THIS PLACE!!! You couldn't pay me enough to revisit this "Vet" ever again! Our 1 yr old Pit/Lab mix was occasionally having issues with one of her back legs - took her here thinking maybe it was a pulled muscle or had an issue with her foot and was told that she completely tore her ACL (never took an x ray ) and needed surgery as soon as possible to the tune of almost $4000 so I scheduled her appointment for the following week. During that time I did a ton of research and also made appointments with 2 other vets for a second and third opinion. Both had the same diagnosis - slight tear in her ACL and surgery was DEFINETLY NOT needed. So as I type this review I have currently been on hold for 26 minutes waiting to give this so called vet a piece of my mind. Bastard doesn't have the balls to take my call. read more

Love this vet, wouldn't take animals anywhere else. Always great at explaining anything, answering questions, and very reasonable prices.

Dr Oh is awesome. I adopted an elderly dog with diabetes, severe malnutrition, and several other health issues. Ms Ellie would not have survived without Dr Oh's kindness, concern, and skill. Thank you for everything! read more

I've been taking my animals to Abbot since I was 19 and had a sick Guinea Pig. Dr.Gomaa can be intimidating but only because he is a no-nonsense caregiver. He is actually very kind and has been very understanding of various financial difficulties my family has had in the past. When my husband is the one to bring in an animal, or pick up meds, he always asks after my welfare. He DOES care about animals but he does not always have patience with people but when you get past the gruff exterior, it is actually possible to make him laugh. His son is now a vet and he is a bit more laid back. read more

Our last experience here was awful enough to prompt a review. We have used this place as our vet for many years. The senior doctor who ran the hospital was very good. He appears to be in retirement and his son has taken over as the head veterinarian. Since this assumption it has really gone down-hill. He is not as experienced as his father and made a noticeable mistake. When gently approached about this error his demeanor was arrogant and unapologetic. As one other reviewer mentioned, the senior vet was not as "personable" as the son but at least he was competent and not rude. I will not elaborate on our last visit here but I will say it was unfortunate. To add insult to injury, we had a terrible experience and found that he has nearly tripled the prices for this inadequate service. I would not recommend this hospital since the senior vet has left. read more
