First of all, she is incredibly reasonably priced, and secondly, she is hands down the nicest vet you'll ever meet. She understands each and every animal, and can figure out a game plan for healing them of an ailment. My situation was unique in that I had her work with the local vet, and she was really cooperative. She really helped save my dog! She recently moved into her own business, and its a lot nicer there than where she was before (in a conventional vet office). My dog LOVES her, and she loves him just as much. I wish I could do more for her, especially after she has done so much for us. She is really reasonably priced, and she is one of the best people you'll ever meet.

I have been taking our pets to Connecticut Valley Veterinary Associates aka East Haddam Veterinary…read moreClinic since 2005. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs that are members of our family. Doctor McLean is the very best in my opinion. He is extremely knowledgeable, practical, and compassionate in the treatment of the animals, and us! We have referred many of our friends to Dr. McLean and those that tried them out are still taking their pets to this clinic. Also, they are reasonably priced in comparison to other vet clinics in CT. Prior to taking our pets to this Clinic, I lived in Simsbury, where you'd think there would be excellent vet care. We used two different clinics we used in Simsbury. The veterinarians were aloof and failed to diagnose a perilous issue with my cat. Very pricey too, especially in light of the misdiagnosis. When we moved to East Haddam we met Dr. McLean told him about the issue with my cat. He was able to educate me as to the problem. Anytime you have an expert willing to take the time to educate, and give all the options, it shows how knowledgeable and credible they are in the subject matter. I highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Veterinary Practice! From the moment we walked in, it was…read moreclear that this is a place run by real people who truly care--not just about animals, but about the families who love them. The staff was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, making sure not only my dog but also my daughter and boyfriend felt comfortable. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond in explaining different food options for my dog. Instead of pushing expensive brands, they took the time to educate me on affordable alternatives that are just as nutritious, which could save me a lot of money in the long run. That level of honesty and care is so rare these days. They also did something so small yet so thoughtful--offering my daughter a little toy to help keep her happy during the appointment. It made the whole experience easier for all of us. Their pricing is very reasonable, and in a world where big corporations seem to dominate, it's refreshing to come across a small business that still operates with integrity, heart, and true passion. I'm so glad we found them and will absolutely be coming back! Thank you, Brittany McCann

Long story short. I have called this vet multiple times. And every time I call the doctor is NEVER IN. I am always told to leave a message or to call back the day after. Why is this when this is a veterinary hospital? My questions are never answered on the day of. And it is a runaround to try and get any information from any of the medical providers in this office. This is the third veterinary practice I've been to in the past year. The first was a clinic took part in killing my first cat, the second clinic put my cat down because of the diabetic shock from the first vet and the medical malpractice/ information I was given.

Dr Lamme is a wonderful resource for those wanting a holistic vet…read more My cat was diagnosed with Kidney disease and the only solution her vet could provided was a Hills Science Diet (what idiotic company produces a DRY kidney disease cat food when dry foods are about the worst thing your can give a cat with CRF - forget about the fact that I never met a cat who actually wanted to eat the crap). Upon the recommendation of the owner of Pet's Choice in Deep River I visited with Dr Lamme. His "office" is nothing fancy. It is in the basement of his house and hardly what one would envision as a vet clinic but then, Dr Lamme is not your usual run-of-the-mill vet. He doesn't have tons of expensive diagnostic equipment or the ubiquitous exam room stocked with a stainless steel table and scale. If you need to have tests run it's best to have them done at a regular clinic as he will tell you. Where Dr Lamme excels is in holistic treatment for animals. I sat with him for nearly two hours. He reviewed my cat's blood test results and was clearly knowledgeable in understanding them. He gave me diet advice which is about all you can do for CRF cats. He printed out a number of home recipes I could try, educated me on feline nutrition and provided me with some supplements as well. As it turned out my cat was a bit of a "junk food junkie" and decided that she was bored with my homemade foods after just a few feedings. Based on Dr Lamme's advice though, I knew what to look for when I got to the health food and pet stores. It's not protein that hurts the kidneys so much as the phosphorus. In switching her diet to premium highly nutritious foods that contained no fillers, by products and processed junk my cat could continue to live a high quality life. She survived very happily for 3 more years. She went into renal failure just 6 weeks shy of her 20th birthday. She was still playing and enjoying life right up until the day before she died. I am convinced that my visit to Dr Lamme extended the time she had left with me without compromising the quality of her life.

I will definitely go back to Dr Lamme to support my dog's continuing recovery and healing from previous insults. My dog loves him!

Then called another hospital and they were full as well. Finally got him in to be seen at Central in Guilford. Yes, there was a long wait. And they do triage the pets.. as our dog just wasn't acting right, other pets were seen first, naturally. We were asked to leave our dog there and we'd get a phone call and naturally, were scared leaving him behind. Finally, we got a call 7 hours later that our guy was doing better. Stressful, but much a relief. The doctor was amazing. He explained what had happened, given us what he recommended. He took the time to answer the questions we had and explained how different more expensive treatments would yield the same results as they are treated the same way. How cool (and honest!) is that? Granted, I hope no one needs to go to the vet ER, but they did right by us when we needed them. And, our 12 year old lab rescue we got 2 years ago is doing fine now.
