I'm a retired veterinarian and among other jobs I have worked in two emergency clinics. I've seen the 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. read more
