We have a houseful of pets and they have all received AMAZING care from Dr. Mags and the staff. I…read moremoved to Hamden about four years ago and feel blessed that my fur babies have such a wonderful place to be cared for and loved! The way that Dr. Mags explains and truly understands how to inform you of every option/situation for your pet. I have had pets my entire life and have never met a vet more caring and personable.

We're so happy to have found this practice! Several years ago I moved my elderly parents and their…read moredog to CT from CA. Their dog was older and having some issues breathing on and off that previous vets in CA were dismissive of/couldn't figure out. We brought Quincy to Spring Glen and had a great experience with the vet. It was a friendly, efficient appointment with a referral to Central Animal Hospital for what ended up being a correct diagnosis by Spring Glen that needed surgical intervention. Spring Glen didn't even charge us for that visit! Years later, after Covid, we welcomed another dog to the family. If you remember how many families got dogs during that time and how it created an extreme demand on vet offices we were prepared for a long wait and hard time finding a vet taking new patients for Pip. Despite Quincy passing years before and therefore not being active patients anymore, Spring Glen welcomed us back despite the insanely full schedule. It's now been a couple years and we have zero complaints. Dr. Mags is so thorough and informative while being chatty and friendly. They're upfront and fair with billing and do a great job of explaining the pros/cons of anything discussed. Spring Glen reminds us of our favorite vet from decades ago in CA before they got bought out by one of the big franchises :-( Welcoming, informative, and fair.

I was kept updated, I got to visit (she was in ICU), clear communication, they always answered any time I called and got me the answers I needed.

We had an extremely unacceptable…read moreexperience at Central after bringing our dog in three times within 24 hours for persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and refusal to eat. Although he has IBD, we knew this was something much more serious. During our first visit, we waited over five hours while our dog continued vomiting without treatment. We repeatedly had to ask staff for medications and fluids. Dr. Chen diagnosed him with pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, and colitis, and also discovered a pancreatic nodule that we were told could require monitoring for cancer. Despite these serious findings, she stated our dog was stable enough to send home. We later discovered he had not been given the pain medication we were told by her he would receive, and his discharge paperwork was never finalized by her, creating confusion about his medications due to discrepancies. Sending him home with an extremely painful, time sensitive condition without any pain medication was beyond negligent. Our dog's condition continued to worsen, so we returned later that night for pain management. We were again told he was stable enough to go home. Only a few hours later, he woke up lying in blood and feces. When we called, we were told this was "normal" with pancreatitis, but we knew something was seriously wrong and brought him back for hospitalization. During our third visit, we were told there was a critical emergency causing delays and that we would likely be seen around 8 a.m. While waiting, our dog continued vomiting and leaking blood in the waiting room. Later, the front desk informed us there was no ongoing critical case and that staff had instead been told we had agreed to wait for the morning team--something we never agreed to. A nurse then acknowledged that the bleeding "wasn't good," directly contradicting what we had been told over the phone. Then there was our interaction with the third vet, Dr. Wells. After waiting all night while our dog's condition continued to decline, she entered the room and asked us to explain what had happened. As I began answering her question, she abruptly interrupted me and repeatedly said, "Stop, stop, stop. Stop complaining," before I had even finished explaining my dog's condition. Instead of listening to a concerned pet owner whose dog was experiencing a medical emergency, she immediately became confrontational and dismissive. When I told her not to interrupt me, the interaction escalated further. Rather than focusing on my dog's care, she argued with us and created an unnecessarily hostile environment. When I told her if she could not handle our conversation and just wanted to keep arguing with us that she needed to go get another vet, she denied allowing us to deal with another vet. Instead, she placed a treatment estimate of more than $3,000 on the table and left the room after telling us we needed to "talk to her civilly," despite her own unprofessional conduct throughout the interaction. She really seemed to be having a serious mental health episode. Dr. Wells demonstrated a level of unprofessionalism, poor judgment, and lack of empathy that was completely unacceptable for someone caring for sick and vulnerable animals. Her communication and demeanor destroyed any confidence we had in leaving our dog under her care, which is why we made the decision to take him to another emergency hospital instead. Before we left, a nurse called us in another room to apologize for Dr. Wells behavior and we have since heard more terrible experiences people have had with her and this hospital. I strongly advise anyone seeking treatment for their animals to avoid this hospital and particularly the mentally unstable Dr. Wells at all costs. I also asked repeatedly to speak to an office manager. It has been over a week and no one has contacted me. It is evident to me by our experience as well as reading how they respond to their google reviews, this practice demonstrates a complete lack of care, concern, or accountability for how it operates and treats its patients.

I have been coming here for over 20 yrs And the doctors…read more and staff are awesome ! Recently my dog Gigi became ill with internal bleeding and I took her to the over night central vet hospital who did not treat my dog because I did not have enough money and up front knowing she was bleeding and may due during the night and still Next morning my vet ridge hill animal hospital Took immediate care of my Gigi and performed her surgery with a min down payment and worked out direct monthly billing for the rest because I have been with them for so many years. They saved my dog GIGi life with emergency splenectomy . I won't go anywhere else with my dogs .

I would strongly advise against using Ridgehill Animal Hospital…read more I arrived right when they opened without an appointment because my dog had been in visible discomfort for hours and I was hoping they could fit him in at some point during the day, given they had his full medical history. Instead, I was immediately turned away by a receptionist with no compassion and told to go to the emergency vet down the street. I spent time outside trying to keep him comfortable, and after seeing other clients arrive, I went back in to ask if there was any chance he could be seen later that day. I was told "nothing today" and dismissed again. During this time, Dr. Pearce did not acknowledge me or my dog at all. I later went to Central Emergency Veterinary Clinic, where the level of care and empathy was night and day. Ridgehill never followed up to see how he was doing. When it came time to euthanize my dog, I was told there were no appointments available with his primary veterinarian until the following week. I was offered a late Friday appointment with another provider, which I accepted. On the morning of that appointment, I called inquiring about the process I wanted to be present for the entire process, including catheter placement. I was initially told "you can ask when you get here". The receptionist did ask and came back and I was told no. Then, I received a call a few minutes later saying the owner had canceled my appointment entirely and that I should "go somewhere else." Canceling a same-day euthanasia appointment and turning away a distressed pet owner in that moment is beyond unprofessional--it's inexcusable. This practice demonstrated a consistent lack of compassion, communication, and basic decency. I would never return and strongly recommend others seek care elsewhere.
