Veterinarians near Harvard, MA

“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.

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.

My original review is below:

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!”

“I can't say enough good things about this incredible veterinary clinic! The vets and medical team here are simply outstanding, with such genuine care and empathy for every fur patient—and their human companions too. I feel so lucky to have found a place where I can truly trust my pet’s health and well-being. I’m grateful to call them my vet!”

“My parents took our childhood dog, Libby, here while she was still with us. Then, when I adopted a dog of my own 3 years ago, Dr. Baigelman et. al are who I chose as my vet, and I'm glad I did! The staff at Family Friends are extremely understanding and accommodating, especially for me when I was a new dog owner with a million questions. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“We have brought our fur babies to AAH for years and have received the best care. They are kind, caring and experts.

Love, Suzanne & Olive”

“I moved to the area a little over a year ago and have had the hardest time finding a vet for my pets that was kind, understanding, and affordable. Littleton Animal Hospital was all of that and more! My dog was having a minor medical concern that I wanted to have checked as soon as possible, and they were able to get us in as new patients in a little over a week. Dr. Brooks and the rest of the staff were so kind and listened to all of my concerns. They made my dog feel so comfortable and she had such an amazing time. Their services were very reasonably priced, and the facility was clean and beautiful. I will definitely be making appointments for my other pets to establish care. I am so relieved to have found a great vet for my pets!”

“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've been a client for 26 years. Recently had shoulder surgery and one of my cats needed to be seen for bleeding claw that pulled out. I couldn't get him there myself
They went above and beyond to give him care. If humans could get this kind of medical care we'd be living in heaven.”

“Absolutely love coming here! Everyone is so nice and it’s so hard to find a place with staff versed in exotic care. We come here often for acupuncture for my senior rabbit approaching 11 and it’s been helping his arthritis stay at a minimum.”

“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'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.”

“Such a great staff and vets. They are all very compassionate. I would not take my three dogs anywhere else. The staff is always welcoming and very caring towards my dogs.”

“My dog obsessively plays with tennis balls, and it had looked like her teeth were pretty badly worn down. She is also fear aggressive, so I was very nervous about going to a new place. Scheduling the appointment was easy. They also allowed us to do a same day consultation and procedure. They were very great with her reactivity and had us wait in an exam room until her procedure and were great for if we needed anything. We were able to come and go and my dog was able to go on multiple walks while we waited which she loved. She did end up getting her teeth pulled but the doctor was lovely about continually updating us with what they were doing. They are absolutely worth the price and I will be coming here again!”

“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.

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.

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.

We highly recommend Dr. Bolger and his staff to anyone looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about their pets.”

“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!”

“So happy to bring our girls to Nashoba Valley after being without pets for several years. They were so awesome, I arrived for my appointment and the said sorry your appointment was last week. It was for like the 12th and I showed up on the 21st.
The accommodated me and got Ginger in!! That was so awesome! She was so shy and the vet was awesome sitting on the floor with her to get her used to her!! I love this place!!
Thank you so much for the awesome team at the reception desk for being so nice and accommodating!!!”

“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. ??”

“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”

“We have had the absolute best experience here. My husband and I have our first puppy of our own, so this has all been new to us, and the staff, nurses, and doctors have been so helpful with everything. They’re so patient with all my questions, help me through vaccines, prevention meds, and anything else my puppy has needed. They’re also very thorough and knowledgable. Everyone is so kind and it’s clear they love what they do. Milo loves his new friends and I can’t recommend this vet enough!”

“Indulge Pet Resort is our doggie daycare. My fur babies love this place. They are extremely excited to go every time. I love the staff and the schedule. I confident they are in good hands.”

“Just took our newly adopted dog here to get updated on all her vaccines as our vet is very backed up. I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews because our experience was fantastic. The 2 staff that checked us in were very thorough. They checked over all of her medical paperwork from her adoption and explained options. I told her we had a vet appointment in 3 weeks and she gave me the option to have her boosters for the vaccines with our vet or to come back to Vetco. There was no pressure either way. Once we saw the vet she provided an exam and explained everything. I felt the process was easy and the staff were all very professional. I think this is a great alternative for anyone having a tough time getting an appointment with their local vet or looking for affordable vaccines for their pet”
