I've been going here for my rats for a few months now, and they've always been kind and considerate no matter what's going on. They're also extremely knowledgeable about the care of specific animals under the small pets category, not just "pocket pets" as a general category. It's clear that they see many exotics regularly and don't treat all small pets like the same animal. They even offered nebulizing for my pet rat that had a URI, and seemed very familiar with treating this common issue in rats. Though no vet care is cheap, I always feel like I'm getting my money's worth here; I've seen multiple exotic vets at Essex (at least 4?) and they're all top notch, I feel comfortable with all of them. Essex Vet has also been able to get me in on short notice before, which while not expected, is always a nice bonus. They've also got a text line that can be used to check in post-op, ask questions, or schedule appointments which is incredibly helpful. I've had to get two of my pets put to sleep, and I'm glad that I was able to do it here. Everyone was extremely kind and considerate. The vet who had seen one of my boys previously (for the issue I put him to sleep for) even came in to validate my decision to let him go, which was really comforting and a huge relief to me. The staff at Essex Vet are very qualified and I'm happy to trust them with my pets' care. In addition to their knowledge, they're able to provide flexible appointment scheduling and a warm environment. I'd definitely recommend anyone, especially those with exotic pets, to go here for their pets' care.

I first went to their clinic two months ago when it became a hardship to take my dog to his last…read morevet due to transportation issues. I don't drive. My dog is a guide dog and I'm blind. He received an exam and all of his booster shots and when I asked for a prescription for his flea and tick and heart worm meds, the vet was resistant to allowing me to fill it at the pharmacy I had been doing business with before. She insisted I try a different med stating it would do the same thing, and be much cheaper at her pharmacy. I agree to try it and she gave me a free sample that he would try in December (this month). He hated it and this chewable medication was as hard as concrete. I called the office to request prescriptions for the meds he'd had been on, and was met with resistance because I was going to have them filled at Chewy's pharmacy. the difference between the vets pharmacy and Chewy was $125.00. when I spoke with Chewy, they told me that Essex Vet refuses to work with them as far as confirming prescriptions is concerned, and I would have to send in the prescriptions myself. Essex vet refused to send me the prescriptions stating that it was against corporate policy to do so, and if I wanted them I would have to pick them up in person. Did I mention that I'm blind? Sometimes it can take a week or longer to get rides. I did finally got them and sent it in by mail to Chewy. I meanwhile called Essex Vets corporate office, and the person who called me back assured me that there is no policy against sending prescriptions to customers. By the way they are owned by Blue River. The corporate person I spoke to asked if I minded if she spoke with the vet about my complaint and I said that would be fine, and maybe it would improve the level of service provided. I never heard back from either one of them. I got the prescriptions from Chewy without any problem, at a much better price, and in time to continue his meds without interruption. The only hitch was that Essex Vet only wrote it for six months, not the usual year that vets normally do. so I will have to pay for another vet visit from someone else in six months to get his meds prescribed again. I'm 76 years old, had dogs most of my life, and have never run into this kind of treatment from any of my dog's vets. I've since spoken to other vets who have assured me that they do business in a very different way and would be happy to have my dog as a patient. To describe what this vet did as petty and unprofessional is an understatement.

After using BEVS for my dog's first initial hospital vet care visit when living in Vermont, I chose to try Tannenberger as it was closer to me than BEVS. I was hopeful because they seemed eager to help me and see my dog Bonnie to give her the care she needed. If I could give five stars for friendliness amd hospitality, I would. Where they fell short was the fact that after doing the initial intake and consult for my dog, I was told that they mised up her blood sample and that I would have to come in again. This was cumbersome for me as I don't own a vehicle and had to utilize a local taxi service to get to and from this location. My dog had not been eating, was running a fever, and was lethargic. Again, they were very kind and welcoming, but to me mixing up a blood sample in a pathology lab in a hospital would warrant a visit from the hospital's joint commission or committee that oversees health regulations and compliance/quality control. A pet's health should be taken just as seriously as a human's because it is a living thing and veterinary care is costly. I already had to pay $4000+ out of pocket for emergency care at BEVS in Burlington, so to have pay another $1,000 (as that is what it costed at Tanneberger) is just downright deplorable. Now I don't wish to sound like a Karen but mixing up blood samples and paying $1000 just to have my dog's vitals evaluated is obscene. I had been tracking my dog's I&O's (input/intake and output) on my own and her temperature and gave her a pet friendly NSAID/fever reducer that BEVS prescribed, but I was hoping for a bit more comprehensive care than what I was offered. BEVS suspected that she had a parasitic infection so they also prescribed itraconazole but when they test for that came back negative I was back to square one, hence why I reached out to Tannenberger. Perhaps she just had a stomach bug/flu or maybe food poisoning, but I owe an extra $1000 on top of the $4000 I owe to BEVS. I think $1000 for vitals to be assessed is a bit much:/ The vet did ask me what I can pay or how much I can afford which I said I am hoping to stay under $1,000 and what do you know, I was charged exactly around $1,000. The sad part is the vet seemed really nice as did the girls at the front desk, but to me it is inexcusable and felt like they were price gouging me and taking advantage of a new patient. I also was not local to Vermont (originally from Miami, FL and have moved around quite a bit) and Saint Albans is a small town where everyone knows everybody I think, but I even told them that I was not working presently, and I was still charged around $1,000 and also given wrong information about her bloodwork (that her calcium levels were high). She did bring my awareness to some lumps on her chest that they aspirated and took a sample of, but I also assessed that they were probably fatty deposits/lipomas. When I brought Bonnie home I did a very thorough massage on her (lymphatic drainage as I was certified infant massage) and made sure to target those areas, and luckily the large lumps went away. I wish to give three stars for friendliness and amicability but I just think the mixup with the bloodwork was something that could have been avoided. If you are a pet parent reading this, just make sure you do your due diligence in finding the right care for your pet. They truky are man's best friend and I am grateful that Bonnie is alove to this day because I was sincerely afraid that her health was deteriorating and that I was going to have to make some very hard and drastic decisions on whether or not to put her down as she wasn't eating, was frequently urinating and defecating everywhere. She had a persistent cough reminiscent of a hacking sound and was very weak and lethargic, which are all signs of poor health. Thankfully, she is eating happily, playful, energetic, and lively. I was going to give the place two stars but changed it to three since they at least allowed her to be seen and squeezed me in for an appointment and greeted me in a friendly manner. They also did refund me for the bloodowork mix up ($250 refund back) but still I think $1000 is a bit much for a vet visit, though as close relatives have told me, vet hospital bills are known for being quite hefty and costly. So make sure you do your homework and research the clinic before going to it.

I have been with this clinic for 15 years and called recently to get a prescription refilled to Costco. They told me they were no longer doing this and now require you to go to the office in person for a paper prescription. I called this morning to see when I could pick up the paper prescription but they told me their printer was out of order and they were "working on it". The receptionist told me they were not going to call the prescription in as it was a new policy, so I told her I would not be returning. Then she told me I was "not the kind of person they want in their practice". I told her there was really no need to talk to me like that; after all, after 15 years and 3 cats and 2 dogs going every 6-12 months at $1,000 a whack, I've spent countless thousands of dollars there. Not a way to treat a good, paying, established patient. This practice has ALWAYS had the reputation for being too expensive, and I won't repeat a lot of what people say about it but there are plenty of negative reviews about it online. This is the first time I actually really felt it was a money grab, with the practice preferring you to buy the medication from them and making it so inconvenient to get a refill. I have jumped through hoops to get all the pets there on time for their physicals so that they could always get their prescriptions refilled and have even gone to BEVS at Tanneberger's request when the pets needed something. Now apparently I am not welcome because I don't like their policies? I am not sure if this is what the industry is doing, but it's bad service and makes me not want to have any more pets.

i am so happy that I went to Qi rather than listening to the advice of a more traditional internal…read moreexpert. More than a year ago the internist at Peak Vet in Williston put my dog on a high steroid dose and essentially told me that she would never get off them given her endoscopy results. I had a hard time believing steroids were the only option and there wasn't something else that could be done. It was a difficult to get attention from my doctor or have any of her energy put toward the problem once the diagnosis was made. Her mind seemed to be made up and the book was closed. Please understand, Peak is considered an amazing place and has a great reputation, but this practitioner, at the very least, didn't seem to want to try to scratch the surface of the problem or explore other solutions once the diagnosis was made. Probably because she firmly believed it was a waste of energy and there weren't other ways to fix things. Many doctors are like this. But I have seen enough in my life to realize that western medicine's approach isn't always the only way. There is still so much to be learned about health. Healthcare practitioners are making strides but they don't have all the answers. No one does. Very frustrated, disheartened and tired, I started to explore other routes. I saw lots of other vets and behaviorists, etc. I sifted through the info and then I explored options. Thank god I went to Qi. Coleen and Nate at Qi were willing to try different approaches. Granted, initially the approaches they tried with diet didn't work, and we had to try various things because my doggie doesn't even fit in a mold with Eastern medicine ( ; ) ), but at least Qi tried and listened to me. And eventually, we've crafted something that is working. A year later my pup is on 1/24th of the previous steroid dose (even less if you consider she's only getting steroids once every two days now) and almost at the point of being off entirely. She's on a brand new homemade diet and Chinese herbs that soothe her belly and her mind. I'm not saying she's now perfectly healthy. She has a chronic condition and will never be able to eat the varied diet she used to. But with the herbs/meds and with a realization how much diet and stress affect her, her condition is now manageable and she's happy. Bravo to Qi and its staff for being willing to try different approaches and take the time to question the norms. My pooch has made Qi question things they normally do, as she doesn't always fit the mold, but with trial and error, caring and developing a relationship with us, she's 90% better than she was 9 months ago today. Thanks to Coleen, Nate, Jeff, Dez (no longer there) and the rest of the staff for having a heart and being problem solvers, investigative and open to questions and different solutions. If only more doctors could follow this formula!
