My beloved Yogi was only a year and a half old, but in his short life, he faced more medical…read morechallenges than most dogs ever will. Due to his complex neurological history, including hydrocephalus and recurrent seizures, he became very well known to the wonderful team at Dr. Frivola's Harborside Veterinary Hospital, particularly Dr. Barrett and Dr. McCormick, who cared for him through his many medical challenges. On Tuesday, Yogi suffered a catastrophic neurological emergency, experiencing relentless seizures that would not subside. Upon his arrival at Harborside, Dr. Barrett and his incredible staff immediately sprang into action, without hesitation, doing everything within their power to stabilize him and save his life. Unfortunately, despite their extraordinary efforts, my sweet Yogi did not survive. Words cannot adequately express the gratitude my husband and I have for Dr. Barrett, Dr. McCormick, and the entire Harborside team. The professionalism, dedication, compassion, and genuine empathy they demonstrated throughout Yogi's care, and especially during the most heartbreaking moments of his life, were nothing short of exceptional. As a healthcare professional myself, I recognize and deeply appreciate the urgency, clinical dedication, and compassion demonstrated by Dr. Barrett and his staff that day. Even when it became clear that Yogi was not going to make it, they ensured that he was treated with dignity, tenderness, and respect, while extending that same compassion to my husband and me. Yogi was never just another patient to them. He was a cherished member of our family, and they treated him as such. Although we left Harborside that day with broken hearts, we will forever be grateful for the extraordinary care Yogi received throughout his life and for the kindness shown to our family during his final moments. I cannot recommend Dr. Frivola's Harborside Veterinary Hospital highly enough. To Dr. Barrett, Dr. McCormick, and every member of the staff: thank you for caring for our little boy, for never giving up on him, and for showing us such remarkable humanity when we needed it most. We will never forget it.

I've brought my dogs here since I was a child, but over the last year I've had several negative experiences. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 only because Dr. Terrell usually provides excellent, realistic advice. They also have a kind and professional attitude. My concerns are with the overall care and office staff. 1. On three separate occasions, they returned my dogs to me from the back covered in feces. Each time, I had to ask to clean them up. 2. They no longer show itemized bills before charging, which leads to errors. The first time this happened, I was charged for for medicine I didn't receive. When I pointed it out, I got a credit on my account. At my next visit, rather than using the credit to pay for the bill, they charged me FOR the credit, so I ended up paying them the $50 they owed me. When I explained that it was a credit, she didn't understand. Mistakes happen, but it is basic math. Please go back to showing the itemized bill before patients pay. 3. My senior dog stayed there overnight with an infection on an IV drip. They said they'd give him antibiotics. When I called the next morning and asked about it, Dr Dratch said, "what antibiotics?" Our treatment plan wasn't followed. I started to cry, and he said "no wait we did, we just forgot to write it down." I am not sure what to believe with him backtracking and I fear that they didn't give him a shot at recovering with the medicine. 4. My young dachshund showed signs of back pain, so I called for an appointment ASAP. I was told the next available slot was two days later. When I called back begging for something sooner, they moved it up by one day. That night, he became paralyzed. I rushed him to an emergency vet, who sent us to the city for immediate spinal surgery. The next day, Dr. Dratch called to check in, which was kind of him - I really appreciated it, but by then it was too late. I now know that if my dachshund had received surgery before paralysis, his chances of recovery would have been much higher (80-90% versus 50%). He might never walk or pee on his own again. I'm devastated and wish the office had conveyed how urgent this condition can be, or at least referred us to an emergency vet or neurologist. Their lack of urgency made me feel like it wasn't an emergency situation. Now, I am so heart broken. I used to travel 20-30 minutes to come here, but it's no longer worth the inconvenient travel time. I appreciate the help I used to get from the vets and office staff, but there might be some mismanagement happening. I would really look into better training for some of the newer staff.

I like to keep it in my house for when she gets sick. Don't use it often, but it's nice to know it's there. Now that these practices have been taken over by corporations, it seems as though you become part of a quota they must fill.
