Veterinarians near Harvard

“I am an actual client of Harvard Family Pet Clinic and have been for 2 years. I can say that the misinformation being posted about Dr. Koretsky couldn’t be farther from the truth, and that the people leaving negative comments have not ever been to this clinic, nor do they even live in the same state.<br><br>I came on here to share my input as Dr. K is not only my veterinarian but she has become my friend in the 2 years that I have been her client, and it is hurtful to see people spreading lies about her and her business. Dr. Koretsky is an advocate for all animals, including service animals being used correctly. Since leaving my original review (below), I have adopted a second kitten and continue to go to Harvard Family Pet. In the years that I have known her, she has been nothing but a fantastic veterinarian, and I would not go anywhere else. The comments from my original review remain, and I also want to add that Dr. K takes the time on her days off to help me when I need assistance or have questions. I don’t know of anyone who has a veterinarian that they can contact on a day off and/or over the weekend, and get a fast response. I would give her 100/5 stars if I could!! She has done countless things outside of her normal business hours to ensure my pets are receiving the best care, and that is the type of person she actually is. I hope that anyone reading negative comments about the clinic will not let that deter them from choosing this clinic for their pets, and will listen to an actual client. My pets are literally my children and I would not trust anyone else with them. My cats are both healthy and thriving.<br><br>My original review is below:<br><br>I adopted my first kitten almost a year and a half ago, and chose this pet clinic because I was looking for a smaller practice. As a first-time cat mom, I had a million questions at the beginning, and still continue to have ongoing questions about the best way to care for my cat. He is my baby, and I always want to make sure I am doing the very best for him. Dr. K and Kayla have always been super helpful and patient with me. They always take the time to explain anything and everything to me, whether it is in-person, via email, or over the phone. I am experiencing a lot of things for the first time, so I like that they don't make me feel silly for asking questions, and are always available to make recommendations. I never feel rushed during appointments, as they take the necessary time to provide care and make sure any questions are explained. A few months back, I had an emergency with my cat and they were available to answer my questions after-hours, got me scheduled first thing the following morning, provided an emergency room referral, followed-up with the emergency vet, and handled my pet insurance claim (immediately). I am very happy with this pet clinic, and I feel that I would not get the same level of care at a larger facility. They are very prompt with getting back to me whenever needed, flexible with scheduling appointments, and have very fair prices. I trust them completely with the care for my baby, and I highly recommend this vet clinic!“

“We have brought our fur babies to AAH for years and have received the best care. They are kind, caring and experts.<br><br>Love, Suzanne & Olive“

“This is the best veterinary practice in MA. Dr. Thomas is thorough, precise, kind, and down to earth. She has dealt with everything, from international travel documents - that were prepared and just needed my signature - to a thorough investigation of health issues. Micayla, the technician, demonstrates immense compassion towards animals and is clear and informative. The front desk are efficient (my cat's entire history was organised, paper clipped, and the file returned to me within a day!), respectful, and lovely. Fabulous team and the very best care!“

“I have had starwood veterinary,Dr. Baran come to my home to help with my dog aggressive 75 pound pitbull named Nitro for several years, I am so glad and thankful I found this vet, he is kind, attentive, understanding, and he is also not afraid to work with a pitbull that can get snappy during yearly immunizations, During the pandemic Nitro was sick, and the Dr, was out on medical, but he called me, and he helped troubleshoot via phone call about my dogs belly, etc, next steps........ The Doc was correct, my dog ate a bone and had a piece of bone stuck in his belly, This past tuesday I had to put down my beloved Nitro, Dr, B came to the house, and helped get Nitro peacefully to rainbow heaven. Nitro called Dr Banan, "the wormy doctor", because Dr B, prescribed the yearly heart worm pills. 5-star the best vet I have ever worked with. I am 54, and have never been without a dog more than 4 days, lol I had Nitro for 15 years, and the pup before him, Shena also lived 15 years. So in 30 years, 2 dogs, and I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. B, in the near future, when I adopt another pup. this time will need to be a smaller pup, I am getting older now, and need to consider logistics of the bigger pups, so next I need a pup under 50 pounds. But 5 star plus plus for Starwood Veterinary out of Groton, MA, Nitro loved his "Doctor Wormy". UPDATE: I adopted a 40 pound terrier mix, and Dr. B came to the house to perform Peppas first round of immunizations, he is very patient, understanding, caring, and fantastic. I have recommended Starwood vet to many neighbors, and now a bunch of my neighbors and their pets have Dr. B,“

“I cannot recommend this vet enough.They have been incredible with my fear reactive dog. We go to Dr. O’Neil, who is not only has incredible patience with my dog but also with me (I fullllllly admit, I’m the harder one. I have terrible focus when stressed, went through premed, and work in Pharma so ask a LOT of questions).Low stress handling is a different process than a standard vet so it takes a bit of relearning but they are incredibly accommodating and will guide you through. If you know what works and doesn’t tell them. If you know something doesn’t work but don’t know how to fix it, they’ll help.Ex: My dog went in today and was absolutely refusing to go under, we talked through what worked the last time she went under while Dr. O’Neil showed pup it was nothing to be scared of. Both of us calmed down, pup started getting woozy, to get her the rest of the way they brought in a bed, a blanket, turned off the lights, and I played calming music on my phone. Pup does terribly coming out of anesthesia, so they reduced the reversal shot, they let me be the first thing she smells, sees, and feels, and as soon as she is walking we’re outta there. Picture attached of her drifting off, snug as a bug.“

“This is a great vet hospital. Everyone is very friendly and always very patient with my questions and concerns“

“Over the years we have taken 4 cats for care at Middlesex Veterinary. They helped us navigate some serious health issues with kindness and thoroughness, allowing our cats to have a longer than expected lifespan. Happy to take our new kitten there for care now!“

“Dr. James Bolger and his staff at Clinton Veterinary Hospital are simply the best. They are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best possible care for our furry friends.<br><br>We have been bringing our pets to Dr. Bolger for several years, and we have always been impressed with his expertise and bedside manner. He takes the time to listen to our concerns and explain our pets' treatments in a way that we can understand. He is also always willing to answer our questions and provide us with support.<br><br>The rest of the staff at Clinton Veterinary Hospital are equally wonderful. They are all friendly, efficient, and caring. They make sure that our pets are comfortable and well-cared for at all times.<br><br>We highly recommend Dr. Bolger and his staff to anyone looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about their pets.“

“I've been going here for almost 30 years and throughout the lives of many of my pets. I love Dr. Norelli. He is compassionate and practical. He doesn't run unnecessary tests or provide unneeded care. He is fully focused on pet health over profits.“

“Yes! Highly recommended! This is an amazing place to receive care and advise on how to continue to give your animal companion a healthy happy life. As someone who has brought their animals here and someone who has also worked here, I highly recommend the hospital for their integrative approach to wellness and maintaining health, and all the services that are offered with top-notch expertise.“

“All the veterinarians here are excellent. They squeezed in my dog who was having diarrhea within a few hours. No waiting, and left with everything I need through the weekend“

“I’ve been to a few different animal medical clinics and this is by far the most clean and reliable veterinary clinic around! The staff is amazing and extremely helpful, not only that but I’m in and out in a timely manner every single time!“

“The folks here are AMAZING. My 3 year old cat Violet had to have a full mouth extraction and they walked me through the entire process and kept in touch with me throughout the procedure and took great care of her. They really care about what they do and all of them were so kind. I highly recommend this place“

“My dog Delaney, who is almost 11 years old had 11 T3 moved and the Clinton veterinary hospital was absolutely fabulous. They took great care of her. She is doing wonderful and I want to thank them all very much. They also called the day after the surgery to see how she was doing and she is doing very well thanks to them. ??“

“Friendly staff clean environment, they took good care of our fur baby and walk us through everything. Over all a good experience. Would recommend to anyone.“

“Littleton Animal Hospital really, truly cares about their patients, and it shows in their quality of care. The fear-free aspect of this veterinary hospital changed the game for my dog. He used to quiver in fear in the corner just for a check-up, and Littleton Animal Hospital has helped transform him to be comfortable and actively participate in cooperative care.Myself and my pets have been patrons here since 2012, and they have been nothing but respectful, communicative, and thoughtful throughout every interaction. It is so evident that the staff here prioritizes patient needs.“

“We drove quite a distance to come here. Following our favorite Vet, Dr. Codd. The office staff is attentive, professional and courteous. Old fashioned customer service, tops! Clinic is clean and atmosphere is like being at home. No trouble booking appointments. They emailed me to remind me about upcoming appointments. We moved far away and had to say goodbye. Our Baby, Moira Rose, felt like a queen here. Such a teeny 4 pound poodle who will turn 3 on 12/24. She will miss you!“
