The building itself is very clean and welcoming. With 4 dogs, I am there alot and I have always had a positive experience with all the Doctor's and support staff. They treat my dogs like their own. Follow up after any procedures to make sure they were doing well and squeeze me if one of my dogs needs to be seen, especially in an emergency situation. And when I had to say goodbye to one of my pups, they were very comforting and checked on me the next day. The front desk staff are the best, always courteous and reassuring! Hours are great and they are open on Saturday's! I highly recommend!

We switched to Aspetuck from our beloved vets in Brooklyn when we realized how much easier it is to get an appointment and how thorough the records are there. Our dog loves her visits, and the vets and vet techs are all extremely kind and conscientious. We couldn't be happier.

I have deep remorse for bringing Breeze to Aspetuck on 4/8/2026 for what should have been a simple…read moreear check. Breeze was our little girl and so very precious in every way, she loved everyone and enjoyed life. A very healthy 13 year old 17.8 lb West Highland Terrier, the visit was billed as urgent care, which it was absolutely not. That appointment led to a full exam, where the vet noted four loose front teeth. We were already aware of them, and they had never caused Breeze any issues. She ate normally, had no bad breath, daily dental treats, dogbiotics and teeth brushing. Despite this, Dr.Michael Gorra strongly encouraged us to schedule a dental cleaning and extraction, insisting it would prolong her life and warning us it would be dangerous if she swallowed a tooth. This was misleading and, in hindsight not true. Breeze life was not prolonged. Breeze blood work showed elevated Lyme levels, and on 4/11/26 she was given a Convenia antibiotic injection. I expressed concern about her age and the upcoming dental procedure, but I was assured she would be fine. 4/22/26 would be the last day for Breeze to enjoy her every day routine, that including her dental treats, after this date only smooth food, she used to love to eat. On 4/23/26 Breeze's life changed forever. What was supposed to be a simple dental cleaning and four tooth extractions turned into TWELVE teeth removed, without my permission. The invoice included charges for each additional extractions, and IV catheter, premedication, anesthesia, meloxciam, additional anesthesia, propofal, more antibiotics, complex extraction, basic extractions, pain management injection. She had dissolvable sutures, then more antibiotics and pain medication at discharge, along with the invoice that was to be paid upon picking up Breeze. It absolutely breaks my heart that Breeze endured this whole process, only to have her life cut short. We would have done everything possible to prolong her life. I know the side effects of antibiotics. I believe anesthesia and the pharmaceuticals puts a strain on some older dogs and feel 100% that Breeze was too old to endure such an extensive procedure and that if I had not agreed to it, she would still be with us. Breeze passed suddenly within three weeks. The void she has left us is devastating. I would have expected Aspetuck to credit my account, given the misrepresentation that this procedure would prolong her life and the fact that I was paying for a dog who is no longer alive. Aspetuck refused and demanded full payment for every invoice. it is devastating, heartbreaking and feel profoundly wrong. Breeze was our third Westie from the same breeder. Our other two lived to 161/2 and 17 years old. A dental surgeon later told me that in his opinion that dogs over 10 years old should not undergo dental surgery, because it is too taxing on their system. His small senior dog had a similar experience and passed shortly after dental extractions. So sad. My advice: do your research and look for a practice that hasn't sold out to a corporation. Breeze is missed beyond words. The void she left is enormous and I'm so very sorry that she went through all of this procedure only to die within 3 weeks post this surgery. No prolonged life for Breezey. Kathy M Litchfield, CT 06759

Her wisdom and forethought went above and beyond my expectations, and believe me, I had rehearsed this terrible day many times in my head. My call was promptly returned, a convenient time scheduled, and the process discussed. During this time of social distancing, some special accommodations needed to be made, but they in no way interfered with the love my dog received that day. Dr Dale played music made for dogs ears only and was extremely comforting to me as well. She made a clay print of my dogs paw, which I will cherish forever. The support Dr Dale gave that day extends far beyond as she checked in on me and provided access to support groups. When I picked up my dogs remains, they where surrounded by meditation gardens and considering the circumstances (pandemic restrictions) I couldn't have asked for anything more comforting and reassuring that my dog was truly loved and that I had made the right decision.

In leaving this candid review, I do not mean to takeaway from the reputation of the doctor himself…read more Whisper-like insight and excellence in vetenary medicine to be sure. Would trust him with any animal. Its just the business he has set up around the medicine that needs to go away. The vet himself is very good - he has a real sense of animal health and he gets it right the first time. But the office attitude is awful. They (including the vet) suffer from a case of slight paranoia and they seem to have trust issues with their customers that, at least in my case, is unfounded and rather confounding... don't know the source of this. Like many other Connecticut vet practices, the office bought into line item billing fad. Lots of upselling too. The result is $150-$200 for most visits. Yuk. Back to my point about the conflict of medicine and personality. The good doctor decorates his examination room walls with various cartoons and political satire that speak to excess, greed, misinformation and distrust. Can we say irony - these postings seem more like a mirror than a window. Very odd indeed. So to recap. He knows his stuff. Has whisper-like insight into the animals he treats. But the business side has gotten the better of him and it is a shame. Following the Yelp scale - this one gets two stars - I've experienced better.
