Veterinarians in Salem, MA

“Dr Reilly has been our vet for the past 8 years for both of our cats, first at Atlantic in Marblehead and now at Hawthorne.
If you can get her and her team as your vet, do it!
I can’t say enough good things about her; she is so caring and gentle with Tommy and Sophie in all their care, but also with us as concerned pet parents. She is very generous with her time, is always professional, listens and explains, but above all just cares so much, and it shows.

Edit: just adding here that the whole team is amazing, but a special shoutout to vet techs Stephanie and Mike”

“Dr Ternes and the staff at The Feline Hospital provide the best care I have ever had for my beloved cats over the years. I have been a client since 1994 and cannot say enough for this practice. They hold to the highest standards in veterinary care, and have a deep compassion for our feline companions. I recommend The Feline Hospital highly.”

“The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Also everyone seems to really enjoy being around their patients. I bring my tortoise Luna here and they are so thorough and thoughtful with her!”

“I had a good experience with both Dr Laing and Dr Lemire. I definitely recommend both. The waiting room is calm, quiet and relaxing which is notable bc my dog becomes very anxious in waiting rooms.
Tip: If you need to schedule multiple appointments, then book them all at once bc I was too flabbergasted to book my consecutive appointments and the receptionist that day was not helpful and looked a little too overjoyed that I made a mistake with booking. She looked happy that I couldn’t get any appointments for days. Luckily there are other vets in the area.

I began taking my dog in November 2025 for a chronic ear infection and he was seen by Dr Laing — she was beyond helpful, kind and thoughtful. My dog’s ears have recently become a challenge and she gave me excellent options for his care. I really appreciated that. Then we saw Dr Lemire in January and February for some serious health issues. She showed such kindness and understanding in trying to help me battle his ear infection and was a huge help to me. She found a way to help him and I will forever be grateful. I will continue to bring my dog back to see Dr Laing and Dr Lemire for as long as I can.
Recommendation #1: I wish there was a small private area or room because of recent unfortunate news I learned the last few visits I was there. It would have been nice to have a private quiet moment to regain my composure before paying and leaving. And there is no restroom for customers which I found to be challenging — especially the past 2 visits (ie for moments when one needs to 'pull it together' after getting some sad news).

With that aside, I am satisfied with easy appointment scheduling over the phone, a calm waiting room and both Dr Laing and Dr Lemire.”

“My dog Jack gets allergies and his ear gets very red and itchy. Dr. Hamberg was so good! He was also very informative. The girl that took all the information was wonderful! I was very pleased, Oh and it didn't break the bank!”
