    Wish there were 10 stars I'd award every one. Hate to sound cliche' but I can't speak highly enough…read moreabout this facility. I have been with Dr.s Bob Alyssa and staff since they opened the doors. It's been many years. As a breeder of Dobermans then Miniature Schnauzers we have indeed run the gambit. Both my animals and myself have been treated with kindness dignity and respect from birth to death and all that goes in between. The facility is immaculate at all times. Many years ago it was remodeled. It's bright light open and airy. As clean now as when the renovations were completed. When you use this facility the more time passes by the more you will note that the staff remains consistent. Many of them have been there as long as I have and I consider myself a charter member. As the years have gone by and the clinic expanded new vets have been brought in house. When you call for an appointment you will be asked if you have a preference for which vet you'd like. My response has always been if the good Dr.s trust enough to hire I certainly trust enough to use their services. I feel strongly about this. And trust I do. Implicitly. Another asset to using this clinic is there is someone available 24/7 365. I can't tell you of what value this is to me. No running off to strangers and the unknown. Another critical asset in my view is this is a hospital NOT a boarding kennel. There is a time and place for all things. I will concede that the clinic may be a tad pricier than recovery but the outstanding impeccable in all arenas one could hope for in an animal hospital far outweigh the slight difference. This has been a long review but I wanted to illustrate my thoughts in full that I might assist others that take the research seeking and time to provide for the care of their animals large and small seriously a solid defined venue to accomplish just that. Dr.s Bob and Alyssa staff too thank you so much for all you are and have been. Truly a treasure. bryanne Ineson Calderstone

    Been taken over by one of those big conglomerate that buys up veterinarians…read more I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that their lack of hygiene caused my cats to contract feline herpes. They said it wasn't possible, but they never sneezed or had any runny eyes before the visit to them. Four days after I took my male cat he had a terrible attack of this feline herpes which he never had in his 2 1/2 years of life. Four days after that my female started having the same symptoms, and she had not gone on that visit to the vet - must've contracted it from the male. They tried to tell me they always had had it. I disagreed. And then they lied on the records, so when I went to a new vet with their records, I found they had missreported a vital fact. They said that I told them early on that they had feline herpes which I absolutely did not do! I was shocked by that. Well of course I can't prove it, but all the evidence added up to the fact that they contracted it at the vet. That was bad enough, but then changing the records to say that I had told them about it was beyond unforgivable and we took our all our animals away from their practice.

    This "clinic" is registered as a profit corporation and is not accredited with the Better Business…read moreBureau. Despite calling itself a "hospital", it does not provide emergency services. In my experience, the costs for exams, checkups, and vaccines are significantly higher than expected, and procedures are often performed out of sight after pets are removed from the room. Following one such visit, both of my dogs experienced adverse reactions to vaccines. Scheduling appointments is unnecessarily difficult, even though the facility often appears underutilized. When I requested a refill for my elderly cat's prescription diet, the clinic refused without requiring another exam and vaccines. This was particularly concerning given my cat's advanced age and difficulty traveling. No alternative solutions were offered. Additionally, a diet recommended for my dog led to serious health issues and cancer growths. The clinic then suggested costly surgeries exceeding $2,000 per growth, which ultimately proved unnecessary when the condition resolved after switching to a holistic diet. Overall, the emphasis here seems to be on profit rather than patient care. Examinations are rushed, often lasting only a few minutes, yet billed at hundreds of dollars. Based on these experiences, I cannot recommend this clinic to pet owners seeking compassionate, transparent, and trustworthy veterinary care."

    We had a good first visit, everyone was very nice. But the bill for an exam and vaccines was…read moreshockingly expensive! It cost way more than my previous vet in MA, who I thought was pretty pricey.

    We found out that VCA works for a corporate company and they are charging people outrageous…read moreamounts. We like Anna the vet but we could not go there anymore with their outrageous charges. We had to leave and go elsewhere. Miss Heather their financial person was the rudest person ever when my little chihuahua was about on her deathbed with lime disease, we didn't have the money and she said in so many words oh well. I said so I guess I just let my dog die and she said yup. Very inconsiderate bit$h. We are very happy that we left and love our new vets.

    Our experience at this clinic was not just disappointing--it was deeply concerning. We brought in…read moreour rescue dog, Novie, who is a loving, sensitive dog that gets a bit nervous around new people. During the visit, she barked briefly when I walked into the room--she wasn't being aggressive, just scared and trying to stay close to someone she trusts. Instead of helping us work through that in a compassionate or informed way, the staff took her into the back without our permission. We weren't asked or even told what would happen. We later found out they restrained her without us there, and when we asked why, we were told it was because they believed she would "act less tough" if we weren't around to "back her up." That's not how fear works. She wasn't being dominant or defiant--she was scared, and they made it worse by removing her from the one person she trusts. Without discussing it with us, they also filled a prescription for Trazodone, a strong sedative and anti-anxiety medication. Then, they recommended putting her on Gabapentin too--essentially setting up a full sedation protocol before her next visit. This was never a conversation. It was presented as if it was just the next step--no consent, no alternatives, no behavioral support options. They also pushed a full obedience training program before she should be brought back--again, making it clear they weren't interested in working with her as she is, only in changing or drugging her into submission. To make matters worse, they offer an in-house monthly insurance plan, and the way they push repeat visits, medications, and training strongly suggests a financial motive. It feels like they're creating problems to upsell services and drive patients toward their membership program. We left feeling heartbroken for our dog and betrayed by people we trusted to care for her. We will never return. If you care about trauma-informed care, consent, and actual compassion for your pet, please think twice before bringing them here. Your dog deserves to be treated like family--not a checklist for upsells and prescriptions.
