Dr. Murphy is a soft-spoken, unassuming veterinarian with years of experience. He greets your pet before he greets you and is completely focused on the animal in front of him. At first, I expected more small talk, but I quickly realized his priority is giving your pet his full attention...and I came to really appreciate that! Whenever my dog is sick, they always find a way to get us in quickly. The staff is friendly, kind, and efficient. The office isn't fancy, but that's part of its charm. Dr. Murphy keeps his fees reasonable while providing excellent care. It feels like going to the neighborhood veterinarian we used to have before so many practices were bought by large private equity groups. Highly recommend!

In a field where trust matters, this practice has earned mine many times over. What stands out most is the steady, attentive care Dr. Kelley provides to each animal. Every visit feels deliberate and thorough, with careful attention to the individual needs of each cat. The entire team reflects that same standard. From the initial phone call to the veterinary technicians, everyone is friendly, professional, and genuinely knowledgeable. Questions are answered clearly, and concerns are taken seriously. Appointments are handled with patience and respect--for both the pet and the owner. After fifteen years and multiple cats, I can say without hesitation: this is a practice built on experience, consistency, and genuine care.

Dr. Shepard and the staff are very warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Ella was shaking quite a bit when she came in. However, after she met Dr. Shepard, who sat on the floor and played with her for a little bit to calm her down, she stopped shaking and was her normal self again.

We brought our dog Wagz to Duxbury Animal Hospital in May 2024 when he was clearly unwell -- not…read moreeating, low energy, and visibly deteriorating. We saw two different doctors across two visits (Monday and Wednesday of the same week). Both felt something abnormal in his abdomen, and both were fixated on the idea that he had eaten something that was stuck -- despite the fact that X-rays showed no such obstruction. No other explanations were considered. After performing full bloodwork and diagnostics on Monday, they repeated the exact same tests again on Wednesday. This not only added significantly to our bill, but in hindsight, feels like a clear indication that the initial work-up wasn't thorough enough. Especially troubling is that Wagz's bloodwork showed elevated calcium and kidney levels -- markers that should have raised concern. Less than 24 hours after our second appointment, we brought Wagz to the emergency room. The ER doctor identified swollen lymph nodes within minutes, suspected cancer, and referred us to oncology. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and required three days of emergency hospitalization. Duxbury now claims his lymph nodes weren't swollen on Monday or Wednesday -- something we find extremely hard to believe, given how quickly they were detected by another clinician less than 24 hours later. At the very least, the combination of red flags -- the exam findings, abnormal labs, and how sick he looked -- should have led to more urgency and better guidance. After his diagnosis, we reached out to Duxbury hoping they might show some compassion -- especially given the duplicated tests, the financial toll of delayed care, and the painful experience of watching our young dog get sicker while we chased the wrong answers. Instead, they stood by their process and offered a $250 credit for future services -- a gesture that felt not only inadequate, but tone-deaf. We're not trying to assign blame. We understand medicine is complex, and diagnoses can be difficult. But the lack of accountability -- and more importantly, the absence of real empathy -- was deeply disappointing. Our family is now navigating a heartbreaking diagnosis we can't change, but what could have been different was the way we got here -- and the three-day ER stay that might have been avoided if things had been handled differently. We're sharing this because other families deserve to know what we went through. Duxbury's reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and we're not here to discredit that -- but if we had read a story like ours, we might have made different decisions. And that's why we believe this experience is worth sharing. _______________________________________________________________ Update: Our Response to the Owner's Comment We appreciate your response, though we're disappointed by the lack of acknowledgment of the specific concerns we raised. Our issue was never about misunderstanding how referrals work, but about the decisions made during our visits that ultimately delayed critical care for our dog, Wagz. To clarify: - The same diagnostics were performed twice in one week without any change in care direction. - Elevated kidney and calcium levels were missed, which the ER team immediately recognized as significant. - Both Duxbury doctors felt something abnormal in his abdomen, yet continued to focus on a possible obstruction despite clear x-rays--no consideration was given to other explanations like swelling or cancer. - Less than 24 hours after our second visit, an ER vet--not an oncologist--diagnosed Wagz with likely lymphoma within minutes of examination, based on severely enlarged lymph nodes. We reached out not to assign blame, but to express how devastating it was to face a three-day ICU stay and large emergency costs--expenses that could have been avoided with earlier action. The offer of a future credit felt out of touch given our experience and our dog's condition. We're not here to argue, only to share our experience so others can decide for themselves. We won't be commenting further.

She was immediately examined and once that was completed, Dr. Barrett came in to speak to us. Indeed, as I had surmised, it was a stroke. We were given instructions and what to look for in complete and calm, and helpful detail by Dr. Barrett. It was so reassuring to get such immediate, competent, help. Over a year ago, Suki suffered an incident of Syncope due to a serious heart murmur. We took her to the emergency clinic in Weymouth. We ended up waiting for over 4 hours and had charges greater than one thousand dollars. In the case of the Veterinary Urgent Care Center, the cost was reasonable, the staff wonderful (all of them) and we are eternally grateful to ALL the staff at Animal Urgent Care in Plymouth.

A friend recommended the Veterinary Urgent Care Center in PLymouth. They were great. They took us in right away, ran a diagnosis, hydrated the dog, and gave us medication and a follow up plan. The staff, including the reception and of course the Vet, could not have been any more helpful, friendly and professional. Dog is doing great, I highly recommend VUCC.

I even drove over there the second day and ended up leaving! That place is so chaotic and unprofessional, and in an emergency situation - NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!!! In all my years of owning many, many animals, this was the worse place I have ever been to for the care of one of my animals! If I didn't have my dog in my arms, I would have run out of there with my head shaking, instead of walking out! My dog deserves much better care than they can provide him with! I am definitely NOT recommending this place to anyone! KC
