Dr. Sajeesh Thomas is out for your money and not the health of your animal. We were told our 7 year old dog needed hip surgery, we raised $2000 only to go back and meet Dr. Barbara Cullen who let us know that was not the case, his body was filled with cancer. He was put down next day. Our older dog has a heart murmur, Dr. T said it was a 2, Dr. C said it's a 4. Dr. C gave us "forewarnings" for when her time nears, we were just told by Dr. T that her murmur was still at a 2, her stomach filled abdomen wasn't an issue & he couldn't hear her heart over her breathing, so he plugged her nose shut to make my 15 year old dog stop breathing. I have never in my life met a more vial person who does NOT care for animals the way a true vet should. I hope to find Dr. Barbara Cullen at another practice. Also got overcharged on Christmas Eve. Someone helped us get it lower. Thank you to them. read more

My lifelong friend JoAnne took her cat Harley to this vet. He was not doing well at all. From the moment they arrived both she and her cat were treated so well that I heard about it for days. Harley needed surgery and Dr Thomas stayed after hours as Harley may not have made it thru the night. The tech staff reassured my friend and calmed her. Harley is home and being hus old rascal self and JoAnne is still raving about how they received VIP ( very important Pet) treatment. Thank you Dr. Thomas and staff. Vikki J read more

Dr. Thomas and his staff were wonderful. He is a kind and caring veterinarian with a true love and compassion for all animals. I would highly recommend Caring Hands to all pet owners. Without him my cat would have died. I can't thank him enough. The girls in the office were all very nice also. By the time I left I felt I had known them for a long time. This was a very positive experience for me. Thank you to all of them. read more

I brought my dog back to Caring Hands in October 2023 for surgery on his right knee (he had his left knee done in November 2022). Dr. Thomas did a great job - again. He went out of his way to make scheduling work for me (because I live in Massachusetts), by having xrays taken just before surgery day. And, his staff honored my request to sedate my dog before caging him - as he suffers from cage trauma. Dr. Thomas also addressed a prior billing issue re: a refund, that apparently was posted on the wrong credit card. I highly recommend him! read more

I have received emails for services that were done at their clinic. But the services were already completed a couple days or weeks before. I received adequate care for my pet. But they are much more expensive than other vets in the area. Be sure to get a quote on what it will cost before having your pet looked at. read more

Dr. Thomas and his staff are fantastic! They are knowledgeable & compassionate! They make you feel like family! I highly recommend them for all of your pets needs! read more

My husband and I couldn't be happier with Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic and the staff! They are always helpful and kind. Whenever we have reached out with any issue for our dogs be it minor or major, they have been supportive and answered our questions immediately with reasonable and compassionate solutions. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! read more

Dr Thomas and his staff were very friendly and caring toy dog Woot today. We were terrified he would have something seriously wrong and since the Vet I took him to before told me to go to the ER without even seeing him I went to Caring Hands. This is my new Veterinarian. read more

Sajeesh Thomas will pay for the medical malpractice he committed to our innocent cat's very life. This disgusting, careless money-hungry place should be called "Cruel Hands" instead. We want our cat back and the entire household is suffering because of his negligence and malpractice! He will get his karma, that's a fact. read more

Caring hands has been wonderful with our four cats and our dog who is rapidly becoming a "frequent flyer." The cats were all less-than-pleased when they went in for their routine shots and exams, and the staff was patient and gentle with all four felines. If the cats seemed more comfortable roaming the exam room they were allowed to, and if they preferred to hide in their carriers that behavior was also permitted. The puppy has been to the vet more times than preferred (multiple GI issues, an infected toe), but the staff is always welcoming, patient, and understanding. Someone always double-checks prices with the pet parents before any procedures are performed (either our cat's dental extractions or our dog's foot x-ray). The staff also calls the day after all appointments to make sure that the pet is recovering and/or that there aren't any unexpected side-effects from shots or other treatments. This extra step makes a huge difference since it shows that the practice cares beyond just the office visit. I highly recommend Caring Hands to anyone looking for a vet in the area! read more

Dr. Thomas was the third vet to examine my Lily and the only one to figure out what her problem was. He will be my vet for as long as I have Lily. read more

When i first started going to this place, it was great. It was during Covid, and although I never actually met the vet in person, he was always nice to speak to and took care of anything we needed. Fast forward a year later.... The girls answering the phone sound like they legit just got out of bed. Also, to call someone that is not your significant other honey, baby or any other name is also very unprofessional. We had taken our dog there for an infection. They had a staff member call to find out how she was the next day. When I asked a simple "is this normal".... She said oh I don't even know what she had done. I have no idea. Luckily, it was normal because no one followed up. It's sad to say, but it seems to be the normal way some of these doctors offices run..... the doc is good but the staff is terrible! read more

So I was able to fill out a online request on a Sunday night as my dog was sneezing. They called me immediately in the morning on Monday!! They have NIGHT HOURS!!!!!!!! and they hit me in that night so I didn't miss work. They where super friendly and very caring. They put the dog on antibiotics but the ani nausea ( my dog threw up one time the day before) was $40. I refused as it was not the problem. But all and all I will be back. It's so amazing that they are open at night. read more

THEEEE worst Vet office we have ever been to. They don't answer their phone, instead they send a generic text reply the moment they get a missed call from a phone number they have on record. They don't return voicemails for WEEKS and, on top of it all, they have been entirely useless in trying to figure out why our dog is constantly in pain and itching for YEARS. STEER CLEAR OF THIS OFFICE! I've been trying to get our dog's records sent to us for almost a week and a half so we can go elsewhere. read more

We were taking our cats here and rarely saw the same vet. Last time we took our cat for weight and hair loss. The vet never even did a hands on exam. Said it was fleas and made $ on medicine. We comb our cats every day and knew it was not fleas. Took our cat the following week to another vet and doc found a huge mass in her abdomen. Found by a hands on assessment. Wow! What a shock. I would NOT recommend or trust caring hands!! Ironically it shoulf be called hands off! read more

Great place and friendly staff! Have only been coming here for less then a year for my golden retriever. He got neutered last Friday and it went perfectly well. We had our consult two weeks prior and they explained everything in detail including the after care, etc. The day after his surgery they called us to make sure he was comfortable and okay which was really nice! Check in to get a free nail trim! read more

First of all, Dr Thomas is a great vet and the staff is friendly. BUT- they only seem to prioritize healthy animals. We called on 2 different occasions for 2 different dogs with emergency needs, needing them to call us ASAP. We needed to find 2 additional vets for emergency care because Caring Hands never called us back. Those dogs both DIED within 24 hours of trying to contact Caring Hands. Even days after the call, plenty of time to check voicemail, we never got a call back on either occasion. Better have a second vet on speed dial in case of emergencies. read more

My pet just got an exam and 3 year vaccines done at this clinic and today I had to admit my pet to the emergency room at the hospital because his rectum was bleeding. The 3 year vaccines definitely had an negative impact on his behavior. Although his appetite was normal, he was limping where the vaccine shots were injected, he was lethargic, constipated, sleeping and hiding all the time. It was very overwhelming and painful for me and for my pet! He has an inflamed rectum due to the high stress level from the 3 year vaccines, which made it difficult for him to defecate as much. I couldn't understand, I would get vaccines done at the SPCA and I never had problem but this was my first time getting the 3 years vaccines. When I called Caring Hands Vet and told them I was concerned, they suggested I come back and get blood work done. I refused to allow my pet to get stuck with one more needle, after everything he's already been through. I honestly don't think I will allow my pet to get anymore vaccines. He's an indoor pet anyways. He was at his best until now! Money was spent, time was lost, only to experience something that could have been avoided in the first place! I'm grateful I was home to notice it before it got worse. read more

I have been taking my Pug, Chai.. to see Dr. Thomas for 4 years!! (Every since I got him) I wouldn't take him to any other Vet or Doctor. Dr. Thomas cares for the well being of every animal. He is so gentle and caring! The staff is also amazing, super helpful. They ALWAYS call you the next day to make sure your pet is okay. I have had multiple emergency visits and the staff squeezed me in just so he could be seen! They are not a rip off either, they don't scam you into buying anything you don't need. I would give him 10 stars if I could!!!!! read more

I just brought my cat here today for her annual checkup. It was her first time here and they did a really good job trying to make her feel comfortable. I had concerns that my cat had been losing a lot of hair, and they addressed that immediately by giving me vitamins to drop in her food! They also taught me how to keep my cat still and clean her teeth, and I really appreciated the fact that they took the time to address all my concerns. read more

I've had a couple of my pets here and I have to say that I'm not very pleased with the service . The doctor seems nice and all but trying to get someone on the telephone is like trying to find a needle in a haystack . I've called a few times left voicemails which I've gotten no response from either of those voicemails . I don't know who's running the place but I have to say it's not really organized not sure what really make of this place . The doctors that I have seen for both pets seem very nice but I don't know what to make of everything . I won't be bringing my pets or any other pets here again on a can of all this . They're a little pricey and I think they try to get you to do X-rays and such to try to get more money out of you . read more

Here is my truth. A few weeks ago I let my chihuahua out in the yard and noticed him struggling to go to the bathroom. On closer inspection I also noticed a lump or bulge on his rear end. I told my husband and we both thought he was either constipated or had a clogged anal gland. We didn't want to take him to his regular vet because we haven't been happy with the practice since our vet doctor stop practicing there. We didn't think it was necessary to go to VSEC because again we thought it was a minor issue. So we looked online and found Caring Hands and gave them a call that day. They were very nice and told us to come right over. When the doctor examined or dog, he said that he didn't think he was constipated and he didn't think it was an anal gland either. He thought it was an obstruction and recommended he do an x-ray. At this point we were worried so we told him to go ahead with the x-ray. That came back normal. He then recommended that he do blood work to check for an infection. Again, we told him to do it because he's the vet and we were trusting his advice. The bloodwork came back normal as well. At this point he recommended that we take him to VSEC because it might be cancer and they have the equipment to do and MRI. They placed him on a steroid and pain meds in the meantime. At this point I'm barely holding myself together. Over 4 hours and almost $400 later we walked out of Caring Hands without an answer. My husband and I took our dog home and discussed what we would do if it was cancer, and ultimately our decision was to put him to sleep. Selfishly I wasn't prepared to take him to VSEC and have to make that call so we put going there off for a few days. I figured as long as he wasn't in pain we could enjoy more time with him. A few days later we took him to VSEC and they 15 minutes and $100 later they gave him back to us and told us he was constipated due to a hernia. They didnt need to do a single invasive thing. They simply checked him over and immediately knew what was wrong. He does need surgery for the hernia but they put him on a special diet that has drastically improved his issue until we go through with the surgery. After all this I wrote an email to Caring Hands explaining how distraught I was with them. The vet did call and speak with my husband the following day and my husband explained what happened at VSEC. All the vet could say was that was because VSEC are specialists. He didn't feel as if there was anything wrong with the "care" be provided to us. My husband asked him to do the right thing and refund our money for everything but the cost of the x-ray and the blood test. Although they weren't necessary and if the vet knew what he was doing he never would have ordered them, we understand that they were performed and we were responsible for the cost. The vet himmed and hawed and set he didn't know if he could refund money but he would see what he could do. This was all WEEKS ago and we never heard back from him. We are looking at a $4,000 bill for the hernia surgery. We are not rich people, but we will do what we have to for our dog. He's part of the family. I don't know if the vet maliciously suggested all those tests just to get more money from us or if he genuinely had no clue what he was doing, but either way I would never recommend that anyone who loves their pet go to Caring Hands. read more

Exactly what I was looking for when searching for a veterinarian for my new kitten, Ruby! After much research we decided to try out Caring Hands and we were not disappointed!

So glad we made the right choice and went with Caring Hands! read more

This is the First time I have used Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic. I called on Monday and got appointment for Tuesday. My little dog Dino needed to be seen for his anal glands and also have his stool checked for parasites. Unfortunately, we were unable to go inside because of the Coronavirus. We pulled up to Front door and was met by staff member Catherine. She took Dino's info and wrote my questions down for Dr Thomas. DR Thomas called me on phone and answered my questions. He advised he would let me know stool results later same day. He called me after hours and advised medication needed. I would highly recommend this practice. The staff and doctor were very caring.

My cat suddenly got thin and went blind. She was a patient at caring hands and on medication for thyroid. They didn't want to let her come in when I called and explained. I called about 8 other vets that were all booked and called back and complained so they saw her between appointments. They did blood work that was fine and said they didn't know what was wrong with her eyes, but her pupils were dilated. The next day she really went down hill and I had to put her to sleep in the middle of the night. Everything I read online points to hypertension. Also I talked to the dr after the fact and he even mentioned hypertension could have been the cause. Why wasn't she checked for this? Maybe she would still be alive read more

We called Caring Hands because our dog had a deep cough like he was gagging. Our normal vet cancelled our appointment and we needed our dog seen right away. Caring Hands was able to schedule an appointment for the same day! Yay! The staff was so wonderful and informed us that he had Kennel Cough but they also took x-rays to make sure that there was no other concerns. Antibiotics were given to us and we are told to avoid dairy products. It has been 4 days and he is getting better. He has some small side effects from the meds but the coughing is subsiding! Caring Hands is the appropriate name for this vet clinic as they are so caring to the pets and to the humans owners! I would highly recommend them!! read more

I was back last night to get my little man his shots and for a re-check. Another wonderful experience. They also even called me a few days after the initial visit to see if my kittie responded well to the meds and was feeling better. My cat is getting even better care than I get at the doctor. I have a happy healthy kittie and we had two great experiences at Caring Hands. I also compared the costs of shots that a local pet supply store was charging and it was about the same. read more

Dr. Thomas excels at his job. He's always professional and really caring about our pets, even to our one pup who is a challenge. The office hours are quite convenient also. His staff is generally great. I have had a couple incidents where I was not pleased with the way some of his techs acted. Although the prices are a bit higher, those extra bucks go to maintaining a clean office and overall excellent service with keeping my pups healthy. read more

I can't say enough good enough things about Caring Hands! My dog Buddy is a rescue and he's super scared of new people and not a huge fan of dogs. After him being a patient of theirs for years, they help us out by putting him right in a room so he doesn't have to hang out with the other dogs. Dr. Thomas and one of the techs named Kayla have such a way with Buddy that he's willing to go with them at his visits. Dr. Thomas has a way with animals that's unlike any other. My family really appreciates this office for everything it does! read more
