I have had horrible experiences with a couple of the vets in this area, so bad I have been driving back to CT, to my OG doctor, whenever I needed to. But after giving these guys a try, I thankfully don't need to do that anymore. They are SO incredibly welcoming and on top of everything. I scheduled one of my dogs for the first date available on their online calendar, which was in about 30 days, for a hip problem, and they called immediately to schedule a sooner date because they put that as more of a priority. This seems like an obvious thing but I can't tell you how many facilities don't have the means or care to do something like that in their already busy days. Another thing was that my first wellness exam took about 30/40 minutes, which makes me feel the doctors actually took their time and were precise. The vet called me directly afterwards and explained everything thoroughly and let me ask any following questions. The receptionists are always so kind and willing to help and I just couldn't be more appreciative

This is Ziggy! My little old man!

This couldn't have been a worse experience. The whole exam and the shot lasted four minutes. How…read moreshe did a "comprehensive" exam in under five minutes, I won't pretend to understand. The vet completely disregarded my concerns and ignored everything that I was saying, and blamed it on behavioral issues and possibly food. She also made an obnoxious comment that people need to do more breed research before buying a dog and suggested that maybe my family needed a dog that much more fit our lifestyle. Complete waste of $100. I'll be taking my dog and any future pets I own elsewhere, and I would suggest you do the same.

That morning in Bar Harbor when I took her out, everything was normal. She went outside and did her walk and came back in. She was inside about 10 minutes when she started yelping in pain. She couldn't walk. Her back leg seemed useless and looked splayed out. She wouldn't let us get near her. It was like she was having a fit. I could tell she was in a panic. After a few minutes she calmed down and seemed OK. She could walk again. But we wanted a vet to look at her as we'd never seen her act this way. We looked on Yelp and saw the great reviews others had given Ellsworth Family Veterinary Clinic so we called. They were exceptionally nice and said they could see her. So we packed up and drove there. Everyone we met (the receptionist, the tech, the vet), was professional and caring. Dr. Jones examined our Chihuahua and couldn't find any indication she been bitten or had stepped on a thorn of some sort. Her diagnosis was that our dog had had a episode of luxating patella, when is farily common in Chihuahuas. I'd never heard of this and the dog had never had this happen before. We'll be on the look out if it happens again. We feel fortunate that this happened in a place with a veterinary clinic as good as this one. I'm especially grateful they agreed to see us. I highly recommend Ellsworth Family Veterinary Ciinic.

Since 2016, Alan Toothaker was the veterinarian for our sweet, beautiful golden retriever Sophie…read moreduring the months each year that we have spent in Maine. In November 2024, he examined Sophie and drew labs. He told us, "she's fine," "just adjusting to her medications." Without much change in her symptoms until the last hours, she died 2 weeks later as we were finally taking her to an emergency room. On 2/26/26 the Maine Board of Veterinary Medicine disciplined Dr. Toothaker for poor record-keeping and violating practice standards in his care of Sophie, and separately regarding another complaint that alleged he mistreated animals and staff. See Ellsworth American 3/25/26 [https://bit.ly/EA260325_LocalVetDisciplined]. You can read the details of these two cases -- AND THE 4 PREVIOUS ACTIONS -- on the State of Maine web page for his license [https://bit.ly/ToothakerMaineLicensePage]. This includes for my case the specific consent agreement that Dr. Toothaker chose to sign to avoid going to court (administrative hearing). You will also see there that he was still on probation for previous infractions when he treated Sophie. Beyond these state actions, Dr. Toothaker also paid $145,360 to resolve complaints by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) about his mishandling of controlled substances in 2023 [https://bit.ly/DEA_ToothakerFine]. As a (human) doctor, after Sophie died, I requested from Dr. Toothaker's clinic, her complete medical record, and I was appalled. We had brought Sophie in because she had not been eating well, but the medical note said she was "eating and drinking well," the kind of text one has in a default note template that's supposed to be changed in the real note, but he didn't. The lab results had numerous red flags that Dr. Toothaker ignored. When I presented to another veterinarian (without giving away the subsequent events) the data that Dr. Toothaker had before him at Sophie's last visit, and asked whether going with "she's fine" seemed right, that vet said "I would not choose to ride for a few weeks on 'she's fine.' I think you would be better served to go see an internal medicine specialist." We would certainly have taken her to a specialist -- driven that night to Portland if needed -- in line with the extensive medical care we have gotten for her over her life. Unfortunately, Dr. Toothaker did not suggest taking her to a specialist, so we didn't do it, and now Sophie is dead, 3 days after her 9th birthday. She had a complicated medical history which Dr. Toothaker knew about but ignored. Equally worrisome in a different way, namely, his trustworthiness, after he received my complaint from the Board, he reported that he -- oops! -- had failed to include in the "complete medical record" that he had sent me, more complete medical ("SOAP") notes maintained "in a separate module" of his electronic medical record. This conveniently discovered note contains at least one statement that I know to be false, and many others that are highly implausible. My impression, though unproven, is that he fabricated these notes in response to my complaint. Dr. Toothaker still claims that he did not do anything wrong medically, but the veterinary board thinks he did, and so do I. I noted in my complaint that Dr. Toothaker is friendly and affable, but that does not make up for his being cavalier and irresponsible about the actual medical care of animals. Before letting Dr. Toothaker care for your pet, I highly recommend you read his disciplinary actions and look at the medical notes that he has previously written for your pet. Sophie died quietly on the floor of our vehicle. I didn't get to say goodbye to her.

I've taken two of my dogs here and have had excellent service every time …read more EXCEPT FOR ONE ISSUE....I worked at a vet for 10 years and I know what a physical is supposed to involve. Check eyes, ears, mouth, listen to the heart and stomach plus feel their entire bodies for abnormalities. They charge $65 and it says it's for an office visit and physical. When I took my Aussie puppy there I was not pleased that first they don't turn on the exam room lights. The doctor came in with two syringes, jabbed them into her and opened the door for me to leave. He never touched my puppy nor performed any type of physical. He didn't even wear stethoscope. So what am I paying $65 for if I don't even get a physical? I find that very upsetting to charged for something that doesn't happen. I would be 100% satisfied with their hospital if they weren't charging me for something they don't do but state on your receipt that they did.

My poor pup was attacked by another dog . I brought him to the veterinarian in My town. The first…read moreday they did surgery and stitched him up . When we went back to have is drain tubes taken out the vet came out and said , well it's not good ,he has a bunch a dead skin . You have like 3 options . 1- take all the dead skin off and wrap with clean dressing ever 2 days and it probably won't work . 2- have his leg amputated and hope no infection happens . 3- euthanizing. Which she recommended. I couldn't bear to put down my best friend. So I went to Veazie veterinarian and go a 2nd Opinion. The WONDERFUL doctor there said to forget EVERYTHING the other vet said . Chance it doing great . He walks , he wags his tail , yes he's in rough shape but we can fix him . Chances first surgery at Veazie Veterinarian hospital cost a lot but so worth it . Chance is eating again, he's barking at noises . I will be moving all my animals to Veazie for now on . The doctor is the most caring and understanding veterinarian I have ever met . HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

In November we bought a little baby Sphinx kitten from a breeder just outside of Boston ( message…read moreme and I will tell you the Sphinx breeder to avoid). At any case we took her here and she checked out as healthy at the time. A month later we were back because of poopy problems. We found out she had a disease that is common in unclean catteries. We received a prescription and the problems started clearing up. Then the real problems started. Our little girl was losing weight and was tired all the time. Because we travel so much we had to take her to an emergency vet in Connecticut. At that point she was diagnosed with FIP which is nearly 100% fatal. We made sure all records were sent to her doctor at the Veazie clinic and they did so much research and expressed such concern for our little Arista. They made appointments available at short notice which during these times is amazing. We drove from Rhode Island on more than one occasion because they were the only one that we could make a appointment with to do the blood tests we needed to monitor her progress. My wife and I sourced the drugs and administered the treatments because vets are not allowed to do it or even tell us about the possible treatment for this horrible disease but we needed a concerned vet that we could ask questions and monitor our treatment progress. Today our little girl is happy, healthy and full of energy. We have another month before we can say she is 100% cured and we are confident she will be. Thank you so much for the outstanding effort everyone at this clinic did for us and our little baby.

My lab suffered with a…read moregrowth on her shoulder for two years because Dr. Olson said it was inoperable because it was wrapped around a muscle and also that anesthesia was too risky and that it would be like performing cosmetic surgery on an 80-year-old woman and she'd be in constant pain if we removed it. I went back a few months ago to see if they'd just remove it. She again refused, but never said that maybe another clinic would do it. She made it sound like it was something my dog had to live with and sent me home with the name of a vet who does in-home euthanasia. She said it would eventually rupture and that when it did, we'd have to have her euthanized. My poor girl was so miserable that I was going to make the dreaded call. Thankfully, my husband insisted we get a second opinion. We brought her to Veazie, and they got her right in. The vet said it was not wrapped around a muscle. He even gave up his lunch to get her into surgery ASAP. My dog is now energetic and happy, whereas before she was mopey and sleeping all of the time. I almost had her put down because I trusted someone who is obviously incompetent. The guilt I feel because my poor girl suffered with this mass unnecessarily for two years and the guilt that I almost had her put down is something I now have to live with. I'm including a photo of the mass and a photo of her postop. I should have known better. Dr. Olson was always making snide comments about how my dog was a basket case and was dramatic. I just thought Dr. Olson had a weird sense of humor. My dog would only get stressed at the vet, and I just chalked that up to the equivalent of how some people get stressed when going to the doctor's or a dentist appointment. I now believe my dog just sensed something was off and did not like Dr. Olson, because she didn't act like that at Veazie Vet. Anyway, I highly recommend Veazie Veterinary Clinic. They gave me my dog back!

They got me in quickly. Was very caring and listened to all my concerns. I highly recommend this…read moreplace.
