Good vet in Massachusetts

[jennifer]

Hi all,
I've had two not-so-good experiences with our local vet, and have decided to shop around. Any recommendation s for a good, available, and committed vet who knows big dogs near Concord, MA? I appreciate any thoughts you may have.

Thanks!
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I also live in MA live south-east of you. I liked my old vet, which was a VCA, but I am not having good luck in my new town either. But if you ever need something major done or have an emergency, I highly recommend Tufts in Grafton. Their animal hospital is one of the best in the country and they are open 24hrs a day for emergencies, so it is really important to know about.

Good luck

I have an excellent vet for my son who is a Great Dane Saint Bernard Mix. Her name is Dr. Jennifer Ben-Oz, DVM. She is a REALLY TERRIFIC vet and she is REALLY GREAT with BIG AND GENTLE GIANTS. She is the FIRST vet that I have really and truly been happy with. And I highly recommend her. She is located in the Wholepet Health Center, 251 Chelsea Street, Everett, MA 02149. Her phone # is (617) 394-0471. If you go there, make sure you see only her. They have some other Drs. there, but she is the only one that I like. She REALLY CARES about her patients. And that is something you don't see too much of today.

Hi Rich,
Funny you should ask... I just called to make an appointment!  If their phone service is any indication (Maryann is very helpful!), I think you've made a fantastic recommendation .   Thanks so much.  I'm taking Bear in to get their opinion about his constant ear infections.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Again, thanks so much for the info!

Hi Jenn,

Just curious on your impression of the Care from McGrath?

Rich

[jennifer]

Hi Rich,
Thanks for asking.  We had our visit this evening and it went VERY well.  We saw Dr. Bruce and I was very pleased with our communication, how she handled Bear, and the treatment plan she proposed.  I'll go back in 10 days for a re-check and I'll see if I have the same feeling/experience. Thanks so much for the referral.  How's Winslow doing after the snip?

Jennifer

Hi,

Hi Jenn,

I was at McGrath yesterday, yup a vet open on Sunday to get Winslow's boosters. I mentioned that I sent you over and Dr Bruce asked how the dogs ears were doing!! So I am asking.
