    We have been going to Ipswich Animal Hospital for years. Dr. Callahan and his staff are so friendly and helpful. Our pets enjoy the trips to see them, and the care they provide is top notch! If you're looking for a veterinarian on the North Shore and you're not too far from Ipswich I highly recommend them for their professionalism, care and love they provide to animals.

    Dr. Callahan has been very good to all my families animals over the years. I have never had any problems there.

    Completely incompetent, switched to a new vet and their office was told that Ipswich Animal Hospital could not find my animals' records.

    I called this vet on a Sunday because my dog had eaten a corn cob. They're not my normal vet but my…read morenormal vet was fully booked so I figured I'd call around and see if any other vets had appointments available Unfortunately they were fully booked for the day, but the receptionist was super nice and offered to check with one of the vet techs on the best course of action. This wasn't necessary because my dog isn't even a patient at this vet but they chose to try and help in any way that they could. I really appreciate them taking the time to advise me on my corn cob conundrum. It speaks to the care and compassion they have ever for pets who aren't their normal patients

    ***WARNING*** Please if you have pets that go to Muddy…read moreCreek PLEASE consider going somewhere else. Muddy Creek, specifically Dr. Leibert, misdiagnosed and mistreated my little Maxwell. You are just a number there and the care is not there. Dr. Leibert couldn't figure out that Maxwell had pneumonia even though he had the blood work, X-rays, and every symptom that SHOWED he had it. Yet, hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent for Muddy Creek to be perplexed on what was wrong with him and be told there is nothing more they could do you'll have to make an appt with internal medicine. I know this because we got a second opinion and the vet knew right away after looking at Muddy Creeks records, blood work and xrays and symptoms that he had pneumonia. Unfortunately, likely due to the poor care at Muddy Creek Maxwell passed away May 4th. I write to you all not to be vindictive but to provide insight and my experience with Muddy Creek and to prevent another family and animal from going through what my family.

    The contrast between the consistently exceptional service at my vet including yesterday in my…read morecurrent area and my horrific experiences at Newburyport Animal Hospital years ago has promoted to speak out about the PTSD at the latter. I only am writing this review so many years later because the website shows that Dr. Grillo still owns and operates the place.There is nothing to indicate that things have changed. My first experiences at Newbury were awesome on every level. I attribute the change to the large expansion a few years later. My perspective ties to my partner and I regularly joking about one of the "Facts of Life" stars calling a co-star a "greedy b----" when the covert effort of the latter to make a side deal tanked a reboot that otherwise would have been a sure thing. I had been happy with the care that I had been receiving and thought that Dr. Grillo and I had been on friendly terms. I noted that he both went to the home of my friends to put down their greyhound when the time had come and did not charge them. The story with my cat, who had been a patient for years, began with Grillo initially strongly believing that he was not ill and only discovering the kidney disease when I politely kept pushing the issue. Grillo did apologize. The regular expensive treatment continued for months. Grillo knew that my cat was like my child when he made me bring him in when the time came. He also was not very compassionate and charged me. The next incident came a few years later. A previously awesome cat sitter had traumatized my cats (including bringing a black lab contrary to my request to not do so and a completely unknown infant) into my house while sitting for 10 days. One of my two cats increasingly became aggressive despite my continuing to be as loving to him as I always had been. He eventually became feral, and I only got him out of my house by finding a wildlife expert willing to there and capture him. He refused the money that I repeatedly offered him. I had the expert bring my cat to Newbury as the next step. Grillo told me that the cat was well-behaved there and totally discounted my experience as well as my trauma regarding the whole manner. He was very judgmental regarding my refusal to both risk bringing that greatly loved cat back in my house and facing having to again find someone to capture him if he went nuts again as I was certain that he would. Despite Grillo knowing for years that I was a loving pawrent who had spent thousands during the extended illness of my first cat, he strongly implied that I had been abusing the cat that I literally was in tears over losing. The local animal rescue league absolutely refusing to take the cat resulted in my having to abandon him. Grillo pulled a full Blair by charging me for the couple of days that my cat had stayed with him. I had been a profitable client for years, and I doubt that keeping the cat cost Grillo more than a little food. I may even have sent some food with him. I considered refusing to pay and just walk away but wanted my other cat to continue being a client because the underlying care had been good. All of this concluded with a horrible experience when I was moving 90 minutes away. I boarded my cat with Newbury a few days before my move. My partner was going to pick him up on the day of the move to drive him to our new home. I paid for the stay when I dropped off my cat. I made it clear that I was doing so so that my partner would not need to pay when he came for the cat. I further paid what I thought was an unduly high amount to sedate my cat the morning of the move both to reduce the stress in him and so my partner would not have to deal with constant caterwauling on the drive to the new house. My partner called me from his cell while I was in the middle of the two teams of movers incessantly asking me where stuff went despite it being clear. (I found a box of shirts clearly labelled "bedroom" in my basement closet several months after the move.) My partner told me that Newbury receptionist kept demanding the boarding fee thst I already had paid. She acknowledged thst I had paid the fee after 15 minutes of arguing. My partner also told me that Newbury had forgotten to sedate the cat and only did so when my partner arrived. That was too late and my cat was too worked up about being put in the carrier and driven (not to mention moving to a new house) to do any good. Getting Grillo to subsequently discuss this was like pulling teeth. He shrugged off the demand for the boarding fee and asserted that I had received the sedation for which I had paid. He refused my request for a refund for the sedation even when I noted that it was worthless and would have been a nice gesture regarding the demand for the boarding fee. I will be moving back to the area but will not returning to Newbury. I am sure that they would not want me back after this. It is a clear case of taking the bad.

    Soon after we established our kitten as a new patient at Newbury Animal Hospital, they discovered…read morethat he had ringworm! Although we have been lifelong cat owners, we have never dealt with such a daunting health issue. As soon as we met with Dr. Grillo and his staff, we knew we were in the very best care. They helped us every single step of the way, including medical boarding over the holidays, where our cat was treated like family. They are transparent about the costs of services and communicate all aspects of a care plan. The office has a positive and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is always genuinely excited to see us and our cat. The staff is also incredibly helpful in answering questions over the phone. I am forever grateful for Newbury Animal Hospital's kindness, compassion, and expertise. We are so lucky to be in their care!
