It felt very friendly and welcoming. You could tell they loved their jobs and that made it feel like you had family taking care of your animal even from the car. Also VERY affordable.

At the same time, I asked the reception people to have Veterinarian Sarah Slater, my dogs Vet call me ASAP because my dog Tarah was scratching and biting herself incessantly and I was concerned. I was told they would have her call as soon as she arrived the following Monday. 8-5-2024 - Over the weekend my dog's condition worsened significantly and being alarmed I called the Clinic at 8 am when they opened. I was told that Dr. Slater doesn't get in until 8:30 to 9:00 am so I had to wait. I waited until 10 am and hadn't heard from them so I called again and was told that I had to be patient, the doctor had several emergencies this morning to which I replied, my dog is chewing herself bloody, scratching herself raw. I'd say that's an emergency wouldn't you. I was again told to wait. 12:00 Noon - I figured that as they hadn't called, they likely wouldn't and I called another local vet who was kind enough to squeeze my dog in at 3 pm, Clark Veterinary Hospital in Old Lyme. At 2:15 pm the doctor from Salem finally called and asked me what was up with my dog. I told her I was quite annoyed by the fact that she had waited almost to the end of the day to respond and that I had already found a new Veterinarian in the area who agreed that she'd see my dog. I went on saying that I knew my dog had a fever, likely some internal infection, was bleeding from areas she had scratched, had stopped eating and refusing to walk, and that she should have made an effort to answer my calls earlier. She apologized and said that she didn't know that I had been in the practice three days earlier, said she had two emergencies first thing in the morning and put the blame on the receptionists answering the phones needing more training never taking responsibility for her own actions. She then asked if I wanted my dog's records transferred to Dr. Clark's office and I said I did ASAP. 3:00 pm Arrived at Dr. Clarks office and was told that my dog had a high fever and a severe bacterial infection and that my suspicions and concerns were well warranted My opinion of Veterinary clinics has festered into total contempt. It seems that the whole industry has been bought up by big corporations who take over, increase prices and decrease services preferring to push the easy fix over doing the work to find root cause and in my opinion, this is reprehensible behavior when they like doctors promise to do no harm. Case in point, Colchester Veterinary Hospital gave Tarah Apoquel as a puppy fully knowing it's a dangerous drug in dogs under a year and should never be used. My puppy developed aggression toward anyone who came within ten feet and she also lost all confidence turning into a fear biter and frequently has night terrors. I took her off the drug and moved her to Salem Valley, fully thinking I'd have a much better experience than what I had at Colchester and after that experience, I have been looking into starting a class action law suit against Pfizer and their drug Apoquel. The main doctor in Salem, Robert Barratt was my horse vet for many years and it pains me to have to write this about his business but my animals are family members and I don't appreciate anyone who doesn't take their health and safety as seriously as I do and as such, this review is being written. I can not and will not recommend Salem Valley Veterinary Clinic and would suggest you do your homework as you would for yourself or any of your loved ones. Find a doctor with a 4.5-to-5-star rating and become a client with them. Avoid anyone with a lower rating and read the reviews!!! People who experience bad performance from medical "professionals" are not likely to plant a story but more likely to state the truth and that information can be used to draw an educated conclusion as to who you wish to provide medical services for your pet.

She is also friendly, kind, explains issues so I understand them, and answers my questions cheerfully. Also, there were times with my dog, Sammy, was ill and needed tests. She always followed up with test results even though we were not on that day's schedule. Also, she calls back promptly. She has a tremendous love for animals. Although I ultimately chose a different treatment than she recommended for our 17yo terminally ill cat, she made sure I understood all our options and respected our family's decisions. I wish there were more people like her!

I love the fact that there were no dogs barking there to terrify my fur babies who were already alarmed about riding in the car and going to a strange place, only to be poked, prodded and examined in every sort of way. I think it was a much better experience for my kitties. I can't say enough good about the Cat Hospital. It's a great idea to have a separate hospital for the little critters we love so much. And if it cost just a little bit more, it really is worth it to have calmer patients. I will be returning very soon, with my fourth kitty who would have died out in the cold this terrible winter. A little boy this time - Mr. Buster Junior. Boy! He sure is a little terror. They'll have to use a towel to handle this crazy little tabby. After Junior's fixed, etc. I really must take my girls back to them for booster shots. O.K. - GREAT vet care for your cat or small pet. Enough said.

Doctor McLean is the very best in my opinion. He is extremely knowledgeable, practical, and compassionate in the treatment of the animals, and us! We have referred many of our friends to Dr. McLean and those that tried them out are still taking their pets to this clinic. Also, they are reasonably priced in comparison to other vet clinics in CT. Prior to taking our pets to this Clinic, I lived in Simsbury, where you'd think there would be excellent vet care. We used two different clinics we used in Simsbury. The veterinarians were aloof and failed to diagnose a perilous issue with my cat. Very pricey too, especially in light of the misdiagnosis. When we moved to East Haddam we met Dr. McLean told him about the issue with my cat. He was able to educate me as to the problem. Anytime you have an expert willing to take the time to educate, and give all the options, it shows how knowledgeable and credible they are in the subject matter. I highly recommend!
