    I cannot thank Bulger enough for the exceptional care and compassion they provided during a very…read moreheartbreaking and unfortunate situation. Dr. Jessica Cioffi went above and beyond to make the experience as comforting as possible. Her empathy, professionalism, and ability to guide me through such a difficult time quickly earned my trust. Because of her, I now bring my new dog to Bulger, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. The level of service here is truly outstanding. Dr. Flynn was also incredible--thorough, thoughtful, and clear with her suggestions, which gave me confidence in the care plan moving forward. Bulger has proven to be a place where both pets and owners are treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I will continue to bring my pets here and highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional veterinary care.

    UNETHICAL REFUSAL TO HELP…read more I called their ER last night to confirm they were open. I found a wounded rabbit in my yard wanted to bring in, because in all likelihood it needed to be euthanized. When I lived in North Andover I would occasionally do this with wounded animals. They were always gracious. NOT ANYMORE! They refused to take the animal. How unethical. Their refusal basically said we don't care if the animal is suffering, or that you want to help the animal and are asking for help from veterinary professionals (?), but take it somewhere else. I am a physician and my sister is a veterinary surgeon. We have a profound respect for living beings and SHOULD NOT EVER REFUSE TO HELP A WOUNDED ANIMAL IN PAIN. How can you call yourselves a "veterinary emergency room" when you turn away animals?? Let me guess, the economics of it were not favorable. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Wow, I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Good Dog Aquatics yet! I LOVE this place. Luis and…read moreMary are awesome people, kind, caring, compassionate and know all things doggie legs, etc. My little Yorkie Beanie, my first dog and the love of my life, has luxating patella in both legs and my vet referred her for water therapy to help strengthen her little legs. My pet insurance will only reimburse for this kind of therapy if a vet does the treatment, which is totally ridiculous. There was another water therapy place that I could have chosen where it was under a vet, but I chose Good Dog (and pay out of pocket) because of the proximity to where I live, but mostly because of my initial conversation with Mary. She is SO calm and just, wonderful. Beanie has been swimming for over a year and she also gets cold laser treatments on her knees and does targeted physical therapy exercises. Her legs are so much stronger when she has her regular therapy at Good Dog and I am confident that she will continue to do really well. Beanie recently had an incident where her knee popped out, had to take her to the vet to get it back in and was told that surgery would be the best option. Beanie is 9, a totalyl crazy Yorkie and luxating patella surgery is NOT an option for this dog. Of course, I called Mary freaking out and Luis called me back and immediately calmed me down and said bring her to her apt. and he would figure out the best course of action for her, which he did and she is almost back to where she was before her incident with her leg. Since Covid, I can't go in with Beanie, but Mary takes pictures and videos of her and sends them to me, which of course, I send to all my friends and family, whether they want to see them or not! Beanie actually does better without me around. LOL. I do miss being able to chat with Luis and Mary while Beanie does her "thing" and I am hoping that 2021 will bring a resumption to normalcy at some point!! Anyone thinking of water therapy for their dog, do not hesitate to go to Good Dog Aquatics!!!

    Steer clear of this place! They almost killed my dog…read more The FDA issued a warning about Credelio causing seizures on Sept 21st, 2018. Four months later they gave it to my dog! Immediately she started having diarrhea but I didn't connect the two. Then she started having seizures and the second one she stopped breathing in my arms. After I got back from the emergency Vet, I started to do research. When I called them to find out the name of the medication I also found out they gave her TWICE the amount for her weight! My dog is 76 pounds and they gave her a dose for a 100lb dog. This is clearly medical malpractice to gave prescribed a dangerous drug and also too much of it! I would like to remove their Cornell diploma and run it through the shredder. These people belong in jail!

    Very Dissappointed in this facility! In 2008 upon moving to the area it was recommended by a…read morefriend to take my pets to JVH. Upon becoming new patients I was very impressed with the compassion and great care they provided to me and my pets. When my dog suffered a stroke and had to be put down, Dr Johnson was so kind and comforting. Fast forward to 2018, where the facility is now caring for my aging cat, who they diagnosed with Bladder stones. The price for the surgery was off the charts and I couldn't afford such a thing. The alternative was taht They put her on a special diet to dissolve the stones., and then when I tried to order food, they failed to do so. Upon calling multiple times to obtain food or a prescription where I could get it elsewhere I was told that they could not give me a prescription and they could not help me and that they no longer wanted to treat my cat. I asked them to please send me a prescription as my cat now would need to return to food that caused the stones as I had to be able to feed her something. I then received and email that They no longer wanted to treat my cat and were sending me a prescription and my records. This was so shocking to me that an actual VET that was so caring before would turn into not so much of the care of the animal but now turned into a money hungry uncaring person. My opinion is things changed when I couldn't dole out the money for surgery and wanted to try an alternative plan. When the alternative plan was to buy my food closer to home they felt they would no longer benefit from me being a customer. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Customer service and patient Care!!!!

    Every time I have brought my dog in, we have seen a different vet, which would be fine except for…read morethat we have received very different care from each vet. Some are fantastic and kind, and the vet techs are always lovely. When he was a puppy, the dr was so sweet and calm with him to make sure he had a positive experience. But then multiple times in the past year and a half my dog was seen by a dr that did not try to greet him, give him treats, or comfort him in any way. He initially was pretty calm in the vet but after having these experiences he is now terrified. He snapped at one of these vets while getting a shot because he was so scared (I have never seen him have this reaction to anything before) and the vet said nothing to me, just muzzled him and brought him to the back. I am fine with the muzzle and having him taken to the back, but I wish there was some kindness shown towards either of us. Now I assume there is a note about this incident in his file, which I understand from a safety standpoint, but in the two times we have gone in since this, the drs have immediately muzzled him and again not spent time greeting or treating him. I had taken him to a different animal hospital for a non-invasive procedure (something not as scary as shots) and although he was nervous being in the environment, all the staff showered him with love and he was fine unmuzzled. I don't think we will be able to return to Riverside since my dog is so afraid and frankly I feel uncomfortable, which is too bad considering that some of the staff is excellent.

    My dog needs dental work. Which if you've ever had dental work on your pet, you know its not…read moreinexpensive. So I took him to the vet where he had prior dental work done. This vet told me I need to have an echocardiogram done before they would do the dental work. And this vet does not do echos. So I began making calls. Every place required a previsit before they would do an echo. So its yet one more cost added to the separate cost of the echocardiogram. Riverside was one of the places I called last week. I agreed to a previsit, and they asked me to send the dog's records. Which I did over the weekend. Now today, Carole (Scheduling Liaison) sent me an email telling me Dr. Ledoux is NOT accepting new patients for echos. Thanks. Thanks for wasting my time. And for not caring about me trying to take proper care of my dog. This dental will cost over, maybe well over $1000. And don't expect help or understanding here. Not like I asked for a discount or for them to do anything for other than their fees.
