I'm a retired veterinarian and among other jobs I have worked in two emergency clinics. I've seen…read morethe spectrum from good to awful from the inside. Last night we had a bite emergency (one of my dogs was bitten under his eye) and I was frankly astounded by the speed and quality of care he received. The attending vet was superb, thorough, skilled, and fast. The work performed was absolutely top-notch of a quality I would have expected in a much larger clinic. Our wait time was as short as it possibly could have been. The aftercare instructions were clear, concise, and thankfully brief. The choices of medication provided to us for our trip back home were well thought out and chosen. In short, this is one of the best emergency clinics I have been to as a client or as a practitioner. In addition, the prices charged were extremely reasonable. One should realize that emergency care is expensive and the overall cost is determined on a case by case basis. I have been to three other emergency clinics in the area extending to a radius down to Portland. In my opinion not a single one of these has come close to the quality of care my dog received at Midcoast. As both a retired veterinarian and dog owner I cannot praise this clinic highly enough.

( 9-cats, 3-dogs beginning in 1974). Always remembers who they are and what they are like. My Cheetah was a special challenge, she'd have take your head off as look at you. Early on, we discovered we could use a particular coat , Cheetah would run down the sleeve thinking she was escaping only to be thwarted by not being able to fit through the wrist opening. Low and behold, Christine was able to do a complete exam using this coat. I still have the coat, though Cheetah has been gone for almost 3 years. Our latest visit was for my dog, Sophie, a Husky/Shepherd mix, 12 years old. Just one of the friendliest dogs there is. She drags me into the office. My other 2 dogs weren't QUITE as willing to be there. This was Sohie's routine physical. Dr Welch treated Sophie with respect, talking to her in soft tones, patting her, etc. Sophie requires a muzzle now , but ONLY to cut her toe nails. Sophie abhors ANYONE to touch her feet. CUTTING the toe nails , NO! NO! NO! But Dr. Welch accomplishes this with , I'd say easily, but we let Sophie"s nails get too long and they become very tough. In summary, I recommend Dr. Welch without reservation. She is kind, caring and respectful too her clients. She genuinely likes animals. One thing that I am thankful for , is that she will come to my home when it is time to let go of one of my babies, instead of having to put them through a ride to the vets. This she does at , what I feel is a reasonable rate. Oh, and her staff are kind and thoughtful ,too. Catherine Rolerson

I would love to be able to give them a 5 star review. Everyone at the front desk was consistently…read moregreat. Boarding, grooming, and vet visits were always routine or better than expected. We will not be going back, though, because of one particular vet, the worst one we've ever encountered. Most of the vets we saw there were great. But this one asked us to make an appointment to follow up on our ailing pet, and then simply refused to answer the phone or return messages to allow us to make that appointment. When a week had gone by with crickets, we asked for an appointment with anyone who was available. You can't wait like that with a sick pet. Well, that got him on the phone finally. He said another vet "wouldn't appreciate" having to see us. Oh really? Then pick up the phone!! Then midway through discussing treatment options (again, on a sick animal) he said he "had to go" and hung up on us. We couldn't agree on what treatments he had even said they'd do, and they did one we definitely didn't agree to or discuss. The treatment wasn't the issue, though; the issue was his epically bad, unprofessional attitude. The kicker? He never called to ask us how our potentially dying pet was doing afterwards. Never again.

We have gone here a few times so far with at least two of our cats (we have 8 of them so sometimes…read moredetails are hard to recall). We first tried calling vets in our own area but they either weren't taking new pets or were scheduling months in advance. So we drive farther to get to Lakeside, but we are satisfied with them. The appointments haven't been too far in the future and we have liked the people we have spoken to so far. They are observing pandemic protocols, which are fine with me. You wait outside and let them know you are there, and someone comes out to talk to you and get your critter. Then an assistant or even the doctor comes out to talk to you. We needed a prescription for insulin for our Sunny Jim, and it was easy to arrange through Chewy.com. I can edit this review at a later date if I need to add details about the quality and cost of care over a longer term, but we are satisfied now and don't expect to be disappointed later. At this point I wouldn't even switch to one of the local vets if they got less busy.

They heard the horror story from another experience I had with another place that was supposed to be considered a "hospital" and by the kindness in their hearts got my kitten into their clinc the very next day. Every other avenue I had attempted before contacting them, either led to them not accepting new patients or that they were booked until June. Dr. Samantha was such a breath of fresh air. She was extremely professional, informative and was very thorough with her exam of Ashton. I left the exam with more knowledge and confidence that everything was going to be okay. After 4 days of an absolute nightmare situation, I cannot express how thankful and grateful I am for the entire staff here. Thank you for reminding me there still is kindness and compassion in this industry! I will not go anywhere else or recommend any other vet to any of my family or friends.

Yes, of corse meds are expensive but they are everywhere. I don't blame them for that at all. They have their own lab in house for bloodwork or whatever you need. Supplies, treats, and other things are available to buy there. Fantastic staff and doctors and I will never go anywhere else as long as I'm here.
