Animal Hospitals near Darien

“I have been bringing my dog to Park Animal Hospital for years for check ups and now in her old age. I'm so thankful to have Dr. Battersby as her vet and as a resource. He's so thoughtful and caring takes the time to walk through his assessment of a health issue and possible care options. And the staff, Cecile and the whole team, is always so welcoming and helpful. I know if health problems or questions come up, my dog and I are in such good hands.“

“The team here is truly remarkable! We brought our dog Libby in for a liver tumor surgery after another board certified surgeon opened her up and deemed her inoperable and her situation imminently terminal. Medvet was incredibly flexible, did important testing promptly (complex CT scans) that the other hospital did not or could not do, and was able to successfully remove our dog's tumor. The staff was incredibly professional, thorough, and compassionate (shout out to Rachel and Dani the nurses for the surgery team, and Nicole, the nurse for the overnight ICU team...they were incredible!). Our surgeon, Dr. Baron, in particular, was simply amazing to work with: so incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Our dog's best interest was her clear and consistent priority every step of the way. We consulted widely throughout the region after receiving the terminal diagnosis from the first surgeon and found Medvet to be quite simply the best option in several states. We cannot recommend them highly enough and owe them everything for giving our dog a new lease on life. You will not regret choosing them for your pet's needs.“

“Always friendly, always professional and fair prices to allow me to offer the best care and love to my dog-daughters!“

“I just transferred my dog’s care to this vet and it was our first time seeing Dr. Schilke. She was absolutely fantastic! So loving and gentle with my dog and extremely thorough and patient during the exam. She took her time explaining everything to me and called the following day to review bloodwork and follow up. Great experience!“

“The entire staff is incredible- compassionate, highly responsive, accommodating, friendly, etc. We’ve rotated vets within this clinic, based on availability, and each one is thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and tries to make my anxious dog as comfortable as possible.

Dr. Maxwell has been exclusively treating my dog the past 5 months for a variety of issues- from inexplicable, chronic vomiting & gas to a nail injury (entire nail tore off). The nail injury required many visits to properly treat it and it has healed beautifully. The vomiting persisted, so he was treated for dehydration, administered blood work, Xray & an ultrasound. The ultrasound uncovered a small, foreign object in his stomach, but no other serious concerns from the X-ray or ultrasound. So glad we did that work. Dr. Maxwell has excellent bedside manner, doesn’t rush the appointments, provides a good course of treatment and is so sweet to our dog.

We moved from out of state, too far from the clinic my dog has been going to for the past 4 yrs, and needed a new vet. We first came to South Wilton Vet for routine care in order to get a sense of the quality of care and realized immediately this was our new clinic.

I could not disagree more with the other reviews on here with respect to this clinic being “money hungry.” I’ve never once experienced the staff pushing unwarranted procedures, tests, vaccines or products on us. Are they expensive? Yes, but so was our former clinic in Nashville and they provided exceptional service as well. People either ignore the fact that clinics have overheads or struggling financially and can’t afford to treat their animals. Im sure the latter is incredibly frustrating, but personally, we would pay any kind of $ for our dog. I’m also not a vet, so I’ll never know if we’re being taken advantage of, but our dog is happy and healthy.. that’s what matters to us.

Tl;dr - we are extremely happy here and the prices are worth the spend!“

“I've been bringing my cats here for years for both veterinary care and boarding. They are the absolute best!!!“

“Amazing!! From front desk, doctor, head tech everyone was so compassionate, caring and helpful. Thank you all so much!!! My dog is very old and they were so gentle and kind to her which is much appreciated“

“Dr. Alvarez is the most thorough, kind and compassionate Vet. We have been under her care for over 10 years and cannot say enough about her wonderful care of our pets.“

“Incredible practice with alternative modalities. Dr. Seo is one of the most amazing veterinary doctor's I have ever encountered. The love he has for animals is apparent in his care. My Margo who was 12.5 was diagnosed with lymphoma.. She went through the traditional route of chemo at another practice that left her in the hospital for 5 days. I moved Margo to Smith Ridge and Dr. Seo from a recommendation I received. Through his care Margo we were able to have more time with her and truly enjoy each and every day as a gift. Sadly, it was time to say goodbye and let her rest. It was a day that Dr. Seo is off from working on that day, but he came in to care for Margo and help her transition over the rainbow bridge with me. This is a testament to the love he has for his animal patients. Thank you to Dr. Seo, you are one-of -a kind human. Thank you also to the rest of the team for your empathy and support during one of the most difficult days in my life. I know one day another dog will come into our lives and Smith Ridge will be our new Vet home forever.“
