He really does care about the animals and I've even on a couple occasions, received follow up calls from him personally to check on progress. A couple times going in there, he had the opportunity to order lots of expensive tests but didn't. He is interested in putting together the best care plan possible and gives candid options. They have a store that carries toys, food, harnesses and collars... etc. and many of these items are cheaper than found on Amazon. As far as not giving exact pricing for surgeries, there are many unknowns (ex. How much anesthesia or other meds/ equipment will be used) so the best they can do is give an estimate, which they do on the day of the surgery. When we had our puppy spayed, our actual bill was $60 less than the original estimate. What I am pretty much driving home is... In my experience, they have had many opportunities to gouge my wallet but didn't. They actually do care about their patients. I would remember while reading these reviews that people can very emotional and panicked when there is a sick fur baby involved. The events they are describing are from their point of view during a horrific time.

I'm leaving this review as a warning to other pet owners. I brought my cats here for more than 5…read moreyears. I generally liked Dr Jawitz and I liked the staff. The problem is Dr Jawitz is the only vet and only works until "lunch time" and also frequently travels for a week at a time. So it's very likely you will need a vet and your vet won't be working. My cat was just diagnosed with diabetes and on the call when Dr Jawitz told me the diagnosis he told me he doesn't treat chronic conditions because he's not in the office enough and recommended I take my cat to the veterinary hospital for treatment. So basically as long as your pets are easy to treat Dr Jawitz is great but when you really need a vet for a sick pet he'll tell you to go to the hospital. Thankfully I found another vet in Stoneham that was happy to treat my cat's chronic condition.

I would try a different emergency vet if one is available, in the future. They were extremely busy…read moreand so I was there for 9 hours, 8 1/2 of which they had my cat and I had little or no idea what was going on with her. One staff member actually refused to go check on her for me. Another staff member gladly went and checked for me, thank goodness. One of the doctors did try to be very informative and one doctor was actually a bit rude to me, and showed no real interest in my cat or me. It wasn't the amount of time that we had to spend there (I understand that they were extremely busy), but I didn't leave there confident that my cat had gotten the best care that she could have because I felt some of the staff wasn't really invested in my cat or me.

In my opinion, the Veterinarians and staff at the Banfield Pet Hospital in Stoneham, MA, work exceptionally hard, to do a good job, and take care of our dogs. Our dogs recently had their annual dental exams and cleanings, and one of them had two masses removed. The dogs were very well cared for.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS CLINIC. My true rating is 0 stars, but Yelp doesn't allow that…read more It is the most unprofessional, poorly-run veterinary business I've ever dealt with. Last year, my older dog was suffering from (what we later found to be) an anal fistula. At Winchester Animal Clinic, Dr. Alisha Martin misdiagnosed him as having a ruptured anal gland and put him on two different rounds of antibiotic over a course of weeks. Because of the incorrect diagnosis, the antibiotic treatment did not help. I continued to try and reach Dr. Martin to understand why it wasn't healing, what it should have been looking like, etc., and the office staff continuously brushed me off and told me she "couldn't talk" or "was at a different clinic location" that day. After calling on 3 different days, I finally got a receptionist to walk over to Dr. Martin and speak with her about my concern. Instead of chatting with me over the phone, Dr. Martin cursed me out in the background ("Why the F*** does she keep calling? Does she have the f***ng cone on him? Is she giving him the pills? What the F*** does she want me to say?"), unaware that the receiver of the phone was uncovered and I could hear everything. When I confronted the receptionist about it, she apologized that I heard it, and then said "Dr. Martin had a stressful surgery to perform this morning." Could you imagine your primary care or ped doctor behaving in this way? Could you imagine getting cursed out for wanting to talk to the doctor? I asked to speak to the office manager. Hours later, the "manager" called me back and apologized - then offered me a "discounted re-exam." I told her there's no way I'd let Dr. Martin near my dog ever again. Dr. Alisha Martin NEVER called me back to apologize for her rude, unprofessional behavior...or to even inquire about my dog's condition. She simply did not care, which is not indicative of a good doctor. All along, my dog suffered with a painful anal fistula which then required an ER visit to Mass Vet Referral Hospital. There, we dealt with an intelligent, communicative, and helpful vet named Dr. Victor Caudal, who correctly diagnosed and treated my dog's anal fistula. For primary care purposes afterward, we switched to Bulger Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Libby Holman. Again, a vet who wants to help your pet in a kind and compassionate way - and willing to SPEAK TO THE CLIENT to plan and share details. I highly recommend these two vets. They are worth the extra drive if your dog has serious health problems. And, to be honest, they are light years above and beyond the horrific business that is Winchester Animal Clinic.

I brought my dog for a lepto lyme vaccine and was told to come back in 3 weeks for a booster…read morevaccine but was not offered an appointment. When I called later, I was told the only available appointment was 6 weeks from the date of the last visit and that it had to be an appointment with the vet. I asked if they were sure it had to be a vet appointment and couldn't just be a tech visit and they insisted it had to be a vet visit. When I arrived for the appointment, the representative at the clinic told me 6 weeks was too late for a booster and that I would need to pay for both a new vaccine and a new booster. I explained to them that I had not been offered an appointment in office and was only offered an appointment 6 weeks out when I called later. They refused to give any further explanation. They state it was there policy and would not escalate me to any one else. They would not look up the name of the person I spoke to on the phone. They would not tell me the last name of the manager. The in office manager in the office was dismissive and walked out of the room, leaving the person at the front desk to "handle" me. They also did not weigh my dog at my first visit because they said the scale was broken. They would not weigh her 6 weeks later because it is apparently still broken.
