The Throop Location. My dog was in critical condition. He couldn't urinate for four days due to cancer masses putting pressure on his bladder. I brought him in the morning for treatment or euthanasia, they recommended euthanasia. I prepaid for the appointment (which was later in the day). Prior to the morning appointment, I requested a muzzle because my dog was snappy, he snapped at me in the morning, I wanted to make sure the staff would be safe while examining him. They were aware that he snapped at me, since I was adamant about getting a muzzle. When we came for the euthanasia, with my two sons and husband, they went through their checklist. I again shared he snapped at me, then all of a sudden they demanded he is tested for rabies. For those of you who don't know how animals are tested for rabies, they must examine the brain. When asked how much does he weigh, I responded 80 lbs, they coldly said in front of my boys 'we have to take his head off and send it'. WHAT!? Are you kidding me?! And the worse part? I had to pay for it. I opted for us to bring his body home for home burial, but now I have to choose to have his body returned decapitated or pay for cremation. All for a snap that didn't break skin. The only time I was spoken to with tenderness or compassion is when they asked for payment. I am so saddened, angry, and appalled that despite me sharing the entire day that we needed a muzzle to ensure safety of staff because he had snapped at me, when it came to the very last minute and I was deep in grief I was blindsided by this. Try consoling a 12 year old who literally grew up with his dog that we can't bring him home to bury. Explain what the 'doctor' meant when he said 'we have to take his head off'. They made a hard day infinitely harder. Do better, Throop location. Remember that we are paying YOU for a a service, you aren't doing anything as a favor or for free. Now I have to live with the knowledge that my beautiful boy will be returned to us incomplete. Without his beautiful head. By far the worst experience of my entire life. read more

We LOVE Dr. Henry - she takes amazing care of our 3 Labs but especially our 11 yr old, Krypto, who ADORES her. He had minor surgery yesterday and she did an amazing job (as did the entire staff at the Throop location). Thank you all for treating our fur kids as if they were your own. read more

I have had nothing but bad experiences with this practice. None of the veterinarians have any experience and are all about padding the bill. I was told tests were done that were not done and was charged for them, too. If you don't agree to all the testing they ''recommend'', they refuse to treat your animal. read more

We are not from the area but unfortunately had to find a vet quickly because our dog suffered a stroke in the middle of the night. None of the "emergency" vets in the area could take us until I called here. Girl over the phone was very pleasant although I didn't catch her name. She told us we could come in immediately. We saw Dr. Noto, unfortunately there wasn't anything that could be done to help our dog (he was 15) but Dr. Noto was amazing he made a terribly painful experience hurt just a little bit less. He is sensitive, compassionate and understanding. Very grateful that he was there and the help he provided. read more

Good vets. Nice environment. Horrible prices. They are way too expensive. I'm sure there are places with a way cheaper price. If you're coming in your first time checkup be ready to spend at least 300$ for the 1st and 2nd visit. read more

Have always been there for me since I left Florida to take care of my mom 3 days after my brother left us and was tragically killed. Dr. Noto and staff have taken care of 4 of my fur babies and have given exceptional care to each and every one of my babies. Now, Mookie is all I have in my life and they ate taking good care of him as well. read more

Memorial Vet Hospital is not in Dunmore. If the person that gave it a 1 star rating went to Memorial Vet Hospital in Dickson City she would have has a much better experience. I do not know the details, but I have been to the one in Dickson City, Throop and even Old Forge and never had a problem. read more

I appreciated the vet tech's compassion in assisting my elderly kitty to cross the rainbow bridge. Moving forward tho- maybe have Dr. Wondel take a refresher course in making sure the pet is ACTUALLY gone, instead of lying about it while they lie there sedated, with a full steady heartbeat. What a horrifying process, to have to tell the doctor there's still a strong heartbeat, to please do it AGAIN. Last I checked- anesthetics wear off eventually, do they not? How many sedated but not euthanized pets are they lying to people about? For $400, I'd like to make sure the animals have humanely passed away. The alternative is unbearable. read more

I have been with them for years. They are fantastic vets! the staff is amazing!!! Highly reccomend!!

Dr Noto and his team are always compassionate caring and excellent at diagnostics Moved to Florida six years ago and during a visit back to the area our German Shepard became ill. Took her to the Urgent Care in Throop and the level of care was just as excellent as it always was. Thank you so very much for making Sadie feel better. read more

Just left there with my dog. Dr. Turk and her Technician Valerie were both very professional and courteous. They both listen to my dogs problems. And came up with a plan that worked. As a former veterinary professional I was very pleased as this is exactly how I would and did treat my patients. Big fan of both of them! Would recommend them. The hospital was clean and busy but they took the time to listen. Prices were extremely reasonable. Except the bloodwork. But that's always more money. But right on par with normal prices. I'm very happy and so was my dog. They both seemed genuinely concerned and took the time. In today's busy life pace. It was refreshing to know there are still caring Doctors and Technicians out there. 5/24/19 Dr. Turk and all the Vet Techs I've meet and dealt with are beyond helpful. But Dr. Turk is smart and compassionate. One of the best veterinarians I've ever met. read more

Dr. Ruane treated my dog, Baby Bonnett with care and provided her with appropriate medicine to resolve allergies and a limped leg. The hospital called to check on my dog's status to ensure her health was improving and scheduled a follow up visit. I am very happy with the health care received by Dr. Ruane. Baby Bonnett is all better! read more

Before moving to the West Coast I brought my sweet pup to Memorial Vet Hospital in Dickson City/Scranton. I brought her there for a few check ups because the rescue I got her from recommended them. Everytime, I felt rushed by Dr. Dartnell. She spoke extremely fast and never let me get a word in edge wise - I could tell she was rushed and busy. Honestly, that's not even the reason I'm writing this review.. I brought my pup in when I first got her (okay visit, good enough for me to bring her back) and then again for her almost yearly visit. The good news was she was adjusting well because she gained some weight. As I was sitting in the exam room, I could see into the backroom and I heard the Vet Tech who assisted me, Kristin, I believe say "wow, I just weighed a dog whose gained 10 pounds, can you believe that? It's not even a big dog either! What the hell is that woman doing?" WHAT IS THAT WOMAN DOING? WELL I WILL TELL YOU, KRISTIN, I AM GIVING MY PUP THE BEST DAMN YEARS OF HER LIFE. The pup I rescued has been mauled and treated horrendously so I'm sorry I give her extra love and a cookie or two. Needless to say, this visit sucked and even if I stayed in PA, I'd never go back. You should brush up on your professionalism or keep your mouth shut when patients are near. The walls have ears, darling. read more

Dr. Noto and staff have been unbelievably helpful in the care of our older dog. He always comes straight out with the problems and will not treat an animal just for the sake of income at the cost of suffering. With that being said - he has given several years of life to our dog at minimal costs for which we cannot thank him enough. Personal phone calls from Dr. Noto himself is just icing on the cake and shows that he is personally involved in his treatment of our animals. Hands down the best vet in the area. read more

Nothing but kind words for the staff who helped make a very tough situation bearable. We recently had to have my mom's elderly cat put down. Kind words and professionalism helped us through this ordeal. The doctor and tech were gentle and comforting and we so appreciate them. The 4 star vs. 5 was only due to the long wait even with an appointment. read more

My animals are like my children and getting them the best care possible is a high priority. Some veterinarians may be good at the science of medicine but are not good with the animals themselves or the pet owners. Some are really nice people and just plain lousy vets. Dr. Dartnell is that rare mix of a kind and caring person whose love of animals is apparent in every interaction. She is the most genuinely empathetic person I have ever met and her veterinary experience and background are impressive. She really knows her stuff. I am so grateful to have her as my vet. read more

I highly recommend Memorial Veterinary Hospital. The vets, techs and secretaries always make us feel welcome. Our "kids" are treated like family. Thanks for all the care and time spent answering questions. Dr. Noto is always a phone call or email away. He always gets back to us with important answers. Although we haven't seen all of the vets, I have heard great things about them. And we know a lot of people that frequent the office. Five stars for sure! read more

I have never in my life experienced such bad telephone service. First I'm put on hold for 13 minutes. I call back and after 15 rings they don't answer the phone. I waited while I call back and I cannot even get one sentence out of my mouth and I'm told to get on hold again. All this for one question this end of the business is not run very well. read more

Every doctor I've seen through this practice has been wonderful, both in their professional service and their caring manner. We typically see Dr. Noto, but with 8 pets, we have been to every doctor at every one of the 3 locations. I feel comfortable taking my fur kids to each of them, knowing my babies are in the best hands possible. All the support staff from the front desk to the vet techs get an A+ too. You can't ask for a better team to care for your family. read more

Tried several vets in the area for our cats and dogs. Dr. Dartnell provided the best care. When she joined this group we followed her. The entire team at memorial Veterinary hospital is splendid and I found them extremely professional and caring. Highly recommend read more

Best of the best. I have followed Rob Noto now with all my pets for well over a decade. All of the Vets at his various clinics have worked on my pets over the years. I could not be happier with the staff. read more

This review is a bit overdue! On May 31st we had to put our Husky down. He was almost 12 yrs old, diabetic and blind. The staff at Memorial Vet saw him almost weekly for several months and the care he received was top notch!! The day we said goodbye to him was terribly painful for us but the staff went above and beyond in making him as well as us comfortable during the process. A huge thank you to everyone involved for the level of compassion that was displayed and the top notch care our pet received!! read more

I wasn't really happy the last time I went to this veterinary hospital. One vet gave my animal one treatment, but the animal didn't improve at all. Then, when I brought him back, he had to see a different veterinarian, since his condition only worsened. That veterinarian gave my pet a different treatment and didn't understand why he'd be given the first one. My animal ended up dying, anyways, despite hundreds of dollars in vet bills. They don't seem like unkind people, but I was not impressed. read more

By far the best vet in the area.. I have taken four separate dogs to them and will always recommend them. Anytime I have had an emergency I was squeezed in that day. read more

This place is the best vet office you can find.. Yes they are busy, but make an appointment ahead of time, and you will be fine! Dr. Noto is our vet there, he makes sure my dog is comfortable with him, and he's very quick with shots, that she doesn't even realize he did it! He calls and checks on my dog to see how she's doing with diet changes. They really do care about pets there just like we care about our own animals! Their prices are very reasonable there and it won't break your bank for appointments. read more

Dr Noto and staff are the BEST. No matter what the problem he calls you personally. He finds the right medicine for your pet...no guessing. My Lady LOVES him . She is a cocker spaniel and has recurrent ear infections,he solved the PROBLEM,no other VET did, he cleared up her skin. Told me what to feed her and it works! What treats to ONLY give her! He fixed her eye (the others wanted to remove it) I am so thankful for Dr Robbie! He will soon be meeting my new rescue a tiny now 5 week old kitten "NELLIE" and I can,t wait! read more

Drs Noto and Dartnell have been nothing but fantastic both in their skill and compassion for my puppy and our family. As sick as she was, they were both so concerned and understanding and absolutely cared not only for her improved health but our emotional well-being. They treated her like she was their very own and we were their beloved family too. The staff and doctors accommodated all of our needs and have provided unconditional support. There is not one person at that practice who does not love their job and do it exceedingly well. read more
