If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I was driving back from a trip from Portland and heading back home to Massachusetts. It was a very hot day, and my cat vomited and started panting heavily. I was frazzled, found Eliot Veterinary Hospital in a Google search, and got there as fast as I could. At first I was told they couldn't see my cat because they weren't an emergency vet, but when I said I was concerned about driving the distance to the emergency vet, luckily they were willing to take a look at my cat. Everyone at the office was very kind, caring and professional. Dr. Devlin gets the biggest shoutout though. She came right over to me and had a great what I call bedside manner... I know I wasn't in a bed, but I mean she got down on the floor to speak to me and was very calm, kind and thorough... not running in in a rush and giving me 30 seconds of time like some doctors do. They were very quick to get everything done even though I of course did not have an appointment, and they kept me updated constantly which was great. They were very patient and easy to talk to and made sure I understood what my options were and what was happening. Dr. Devlin again sat on the floor and asked if I had any questions. This meant the world to me.... She was not rushed at all and really showed that she cared. She answered my questions and continued to be very calm and helpful. Thankfully my cat was fine, and I really appreciated that they gave me ice packs, dish towels to wrap them in, and pee pads for the journey home. Dr. Devlin herself left me a voicemail later to ask if we got home safely, and they sent me emails with info about the visit and saying to reach out if I had any questions. Considering it was a horrible situation that I would never wish on anybody, it couldn't have gone smoother. Thank you, Eliot Veterinary Hospital! Mama Kitty and I are so appreciative! read more

Wonderful doctors and staff! such a welcoming and supportive environment. My typically fearful, rescued beagle loves the treats and is readily coaxed to accept the TLC he consistently gets! read more

Eliot Veterinary Hospital is a fantastic practice and all of our pups couldn't possibly agree more! They are very knowledgeable, compassionate, friendly, and it is always a low stress experience. read more

Eliot Veterinary Hospital - Max, Joey, Coco, and Jax - Veterinarians Near Me - Eliot, Maine

My dog, B, was the absolute best. Eliot vet loved her almost as much as I did. The care they gave her, the affection they showed her, the compassion they extended to all of us towards the end can't be matched. They are experts who recognize that your pets are your family. read more

The doctors & every member of their team are amazing.. Whether we've needed extensive dental care or emergency surgery.. Not only did they save my guy's life.. They've always taken excellent care of our little pack. Zeke & Rocky love going in... Or through their super convenient drive thru! All this and far less expensive than other area veterinarys in the area. We love you guys! read more

Eliot Vet is hands down my favorite vet I have ever used. Dr Emmons and her whole team are all extremely knowledgable and educated. They are caring, friendly, and overall incredible. We continuously receive top of the line care here. The atmosphere is super comfortable, inviting, and cozy to animals and owners. My dog has been going here for many years now and they feel like family at this point. read more

This is a great place to take your pets and especially if they have fear of the vet or anxiety. Dr. Emmons is trained in behavioral care and her dedication and commitment to a fear free and calm clinic has dramatically changed the experience for my dogs, and for myself. In fact, it's been life changing for us. I used to wait until I couldn't anymore because the experience is so stressful for them (and me). But now they both walk in tails wagging and without hesitation. The whole staff is dedicated, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

EVH is the absolute best. I've been bringing my family pets here since Dr. Lee owned it and was fortunate that it was left in the best hands! Shannon and her team go above and beyond and have been there for me through new adoptions and losses of my little best friends. Even accommodating enough to come to my home to provide end of life services. thanks for all you do EVH, from the front of the house answering the calls and emails to the back of the house, truly the best team! read more

I could not speak highly enough of Eliot Vet! If you want a veterinary clinic willing to invest the time and patience in making sure you and your pet have the most positive experience, this is the place to be :) Vet visits for my incredibly reactive dog changed drastically when we found Dr. Emmons and her incredible staff. We spent nearly a year coming for "Happy Visits" to get Nico comfortable in the vet environment, and from there, "real" vet visits were so much more cooperative and productive. We are so appreciative of all they do! read more

09/13/2023 update. My dog is almost back to normal now after a lengthy stay at Port City Veterinary Hospital. She was put on 3 different medications for just under a month and those meds had to be administered orally, which wasn't an easy task after Eliot Veterinary Hospital pulled 24 of her teeth at once (without calling me ahead of time to authorize the procedure) and her poor mouth was so sore she could hardly stand having them put in there. The quote I got from Eliot Veterinary was under $800, and after picking her up and being surprised with a $3,060 bill, and the resulting circumstance that put her in which lead to the emergency stay at Port City Vet, my total bill for her is now over $10,000. I have since switched vets and will never set foot in Eliot Veterinary again. So sorry for the long rant, but what happened to my dog is inexcusable. I have read several other reviews on Eliot Vet and saw that this is not an isolated incident. I wish all of you and your fur babies a long and happy life. read more

Dr. Emmons and her staff are top notch in every way! We were initially referred for behavioral consultation and management. We were so impressed with the care provided to Trooper, communication and time spent answering all our questions that we drive 3 hours round trip to get all of his needed care whether behavioral or physical accomplished. Some might think I am crazy to drive that far to get my dogs ears rechecked but the time they take to work with my reactive and fearful dog to accomplish his needs without undue stress is worth every trip. Dr. Emmons goes above and beyond what one would expect from their veterinarian. She and her staff are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate and take the time you need. They laugh with you and cry with you. Dr. Emmons listens to your thoughts and is non-judgemental. Honestly, I can say I am not sure if Trooper would be here today without her. I feel like I am part of an amazing, caring and accepting family and that everyone at Eliot Veterinary Hospital loves Trooper just as much as I do. read more

My old cat has been a patient of Dr. Emmons and her staff since 2021, and I can't recommend their practice highly enough. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind, intelligent, positive, patient, and ready to help. They truly love animals and make everyone's pet their top priority. My cat is very, very cranky and can be a handful during a vet's visit (even with Gabapentin), but this vet's office takes it all in stride and still has nice things to say about her. Their prices are fair and I really like that I can get my cat's prescription dry food directly through them. They often have sales so I can get this usually expensive cat food at a discount. They have welcomed a few new vets & staff members over the years, and clearly Dr. Emmons and team know how to find the best of the best to build out their team. When you walk into the building, you get the sense that their whole team genuinely likes working together and people are happy there. If you're looking for a vet in the Eliot/South Berwick area, this is the one for you! read more

I have been going to Dr Emmons for 5 years now. She and her team have always been excellent, attentive, caring, and thorough with my pets.

Dr. Emmons and her staff always go out of their way to make our nervous and sensitive dogs comfortable during their vet visits here. We are always listened to, feel beyond cared for and their expertise in their filed is evident as soon as you walk through the door. If you have a dog that is nervous at the vet there is nowhere better in the area to help them feel more safe. We recommend them to everyone. read more

Dr. Lee and his staff have made being a new pet parent a lot less stressful. They always have time to answer any of my questions and concerns. The staff is extremely friendly and loving toward the furry patients and their human owners. They are always happy to see the animals hit their mile stones. I've never had a vet clinic treat me like family, not just a number for the day. When we found out that my fur baby may have FIV, Dr. Lee and his staff all reassured me. They gave me all the information I needed, offered to talk to the perilous owners about getting their animals tested, and even said I could stop by or call in anytime with any questions. We scheduled a bother appointment for yet another test. During the weeks between visits I received a couple calls asking how my kitten was doing and if I had any more questions or concerns. It made me so happy knowing hat everyone at Eliot Veteinary cared so much. If you want a welcoming environment for you and your pet, you need to go to see Dr. Lee and his amazing staff. read more

I first became aware of this practice when my partner told me that he brings his dog here. That was back in 2018. This dog needed monthly visits for a while due to chronic issues. The whole office was familiar with the case and treated them with the most individualized, specialized care that I've ever seen come from a veterinarian's office. Since then, I have moved my pets to this office and have always been pleased with both the professionality and genuine love the people working here give out regularly. They've always gone out of their way to address any question we've come up with, no matter how small. As a person with professional management experience I am always looking for way's people's behavior could be improved. I have come to this office for years and not seen a single unprofessional or unsavory moment that I felt could use improvement. Absolutely A+ customer relations and pet care combined. read more

Not happy with how they run their vet hospital. My dog had been in twice in 2 months for an ear infection and couldn't get rid of it. Tried to make a appointment to have him seen on a Saturday since he was uncomfortable. They told me they couldn't fit him in and when I asked if they could give me a medication to start with until until they could see him they said no. Most vets would have squezzed him in since he was in pain. Not Eliot Veterinary hospital. Called a local animal hospital and they got me a quick appointment since they knew my dog was uncomfortable. read more

Dr. Emmons and the girls were really nice when I had to bring my dog in again even if I didn't want to bring him here again I had to he had a heart attack and was dying and this place is very close to me. Wanted to thank her and the girls for their help at this very hard time and the card. read more

He doesn't know how to read xrays (after 25 yrs) and misdiagnosed my dog's condition...incorrectly prescribed meds that caused HAVOC on my dog's LIVER! I wish that I was never told of this poison. read more

I had so many awful experiences here I don't know where to begin. The receptionist was rude and I constantly felt like I was a bother trying to schedule things. Then, I brought my dog in to get spayed hey had lost my appointment (which I had an appointment card for) and they ended up extracting a tooth without my knowledge or consent. The tooth needed to be removed, I would have consented, and had no problem with the extra charge; a phone call for approval would have been appreciated. Just an overall unpleasant experience, a few too many times. read more

My dog has heartworm and had been treated before which was very concerning. Dr. Lee and Dr. Emmons have been incredible while strategizing her treatment. Dr. Emmons has gone above and beyond researching the topic. I am so impressed and so glad that they are our vets! read more

Dr. Lee rocks! He used to run South Berwick Vet Hospital, sold it, and after a bit has now opened this place. So, if his name sounds familiar, you may know him from his prior work. His new office has state of the art equipment for diagnostics. He doesn't try to push products on you, and he takes a progressive, logical approach to diagnostics so as to keep the cost reasonable yet do what needs to be done. For example, my cat was not eating.. He asked a lot of questions about her home environment and any changes. He suggested the Feline Felway phenome spray which is purchased at Petco or his place. It works like a charm. The other vet I went to when he was closed on the weekend wrote up an estimate for 1200 in diagnostics, none of which were needed, thank heavens. So, he doesn't try to pad the bill and most importantly, he is easy to talk to. His staff follows up with you. Thanks to Dr Lee, Dinah is doing much better and thanks to his natural product (no pills), my cat can travel now without getting motion sickness. He also cares about the home environment and will discuss any issues with moving, care, etc. Glad he opened his beautiful, spotlessly clean office. read more

Dr Lee and staff are really wonderful. They took our new pet right away when he was very sick. Guido is very happy with the treament of all the staff. Dr. Lee called us personally to talk about our dog. He is a really good person and a great Vet. Thank You , Be Well ,Guido Maranuchi. read more

We brought our cat in who has been losing weight and eating voraciously. I've had cats for years and have seen what worms looks like. We asked for a stool sample and to be treated for worms. However, Dr. Lee stated, "If I was a betting man, I would bet that he is hyperthyroid". I asked what would make him think hyperthyroid versus worms and he stated that he has been doing this for years and he was quite sure that was the diagnosis. So we agreed apprehensively. Over $350 later, the test was negative. I wish I had made the bet and requested to not pay if he was wrong. I then asked if we could get a stool sample, but he stated he didn't want to stress Joe any more than he was. Now months later, our cat continues to waste away and is all bones. We are switching vets. I am very disappointed, because we like Dr. Lee as a person. He has been very sweet and compassionate with our animals. We just can't afford to pay for unnecessary tests. Shouldn't one go for the least invasive, least expensive tests and rule out diagnosis that way? And now, to make this process more frustrating, I was able to get an appointment today for our ailing cat and the office will not release his records until the doctor looks at them. It is with my deepest regrets that I not recommend this office. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lee and his staff. They took care of our dog for four years and really got to know her. Our dog hated going to the vet but absolutely loved Dr. Lee and the staff. They were incredibly accommodating with their time. When our dog was diagnosed with cancer he gave us as much support as we needed. He made himself available at a moments notice. We always felt we were in very good hands with his advice and expertise. Going through the loss of an animal is incredibly difficult but Dr. Lee and his staff made it easier. He made sure we knew he was available to us in any capacity whether it be a house call to see Lucy or a late night phone call to help us navigate her symptoms etc. We feel really lucky to have found them. If you're new to the area or just looking for a vet this place is a rare find - we are always recommending them to our closest friends. read more

I took my dog to Dr. Lee because we used to see him in South Berwick. He said our boxer needed mouth surgery for his teeth and we trusted him. He came home from surgery so sick that he vomited constantly and couldn't even have a drink of water without vomiting. We took him back and the doctor gave him a shot, the next day we took him back and he gave him an IV. He said if it continues take him to the emergency vet. We did. After spending 3,000.00 on a $600.00 surgery the emergency doctor told us that when he operated he scratched his esophagus. This caused him to be unable to hold anything down. They took him for 24 hours, IV'd him and made sure he could eat before they sent him home. They said his symptoms were classic for this problem. Dr. Lee wanted nothing to do with the after treatment because it was the weekend. He admitted after a recheck that yes that was what it was but offered no apology or sympathy for our pup who almost died. Then we find out that this had happened to a friend's cat with a worse outcome. If your pet needs surgery or a procedure please go someplace else and keep your baby safe. read more
