The latest is they will not send a prescription to an online pharmacy (ex. chewy). You either need to drive there to get your meds, get a paper prescription from them and mail it, or use their online store. I wouldn't much mind using their service, but for what I need, I then have to pay for shipping, and unlike Chewy, they don't have non-rx items to use to get to free shipping. Inconvenient and I don't see where it is any easier for them to provide a paper rx. Care during routine visits is ok, but nothing outstanding. And I still have a nagging feeling they could have diagnosed our previous dog's cancer at an earlier visit.

I unfortunately had to bring my cat in for an emergency procedure at 8pm on a Monday, hours before…read morewe were expecting a large amount of snow. I had called a few other places just out of a panic and they all turned me away. During a very troubling and frustrating situation, Dr. Shreves and Colleen were able to assure me that they would do what they could for my pet. Dr. Shreves began working on my pet immediately and provided me with updates throughout the evening. He drove in through the snow the following morning to continue his work, and provide me with another set of updates. My entire experience was amazing. Hopefully my animals only need their regular check-ups from here on out, but this will 100% be the place that I bring them to from here on out. Read all of the reviews, but take notice that the negative reviews were left by people who most likely were beside themselves with panic and grief. Veterinary care is never the cheapest expenditure and it's next to impossible to anticipate when you have to deal with something unexpected, but I can assure you that this staff is dedicated and wants to do everything possible to help you and your animal(s).

I don't like doing this but I see many people had the same experience with staff at the front desk…read more Earlier this year our hamster was brought in and we had the choice to try surgery or not- with no guarantees, of course. She did end up passing a week later. Staff and the doctor were nice UNTIL I needed them to be compassionate the most. Staff had told me the soonest they could get my hamster in when she was being extremely lethargic following surgery and stopped moving. They told me she would be okay to wait. The day that she passed I called, worried, because of a noise she was making while I was holding her. The receptionist was very rude to me. I was holding my hamster for her last breaths and got a snappy response from the person I talked to when asking if what I saw happening was an emergency and if I should get her somewhere before her scheduled appointment. Not okay at all. I'm sorry to all of the others I see had this kind of experience. It's really messed up.

I had my cat spayed here. A friend recommended after her skunk had surgery here as well. In person,…read morethe receptionist was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The vet tech that came out to get my cat was also very friendly and knowledgeable. I was charged a $15 fee because my cat was in heat at the time of her spay, which I think is reasonable. They let me know that when they called to tell me my cat made it out of surgery. The incision was small and appears to have healed well. So I believe the doctor did a very good job. I also opted to have her nails cut while she was under anesthesia. They did a very good job with that too. They do send your pet home the same day. Just be sure to keep an eye on your animal when you get home. She was pretty much fully over the anesthesia upon leaving, and we were told to give her additional pain medicine that we purchased at 8pm. That pain medicine made her so tired that she fell asleep with her head in her water bowl. Luckily, she was wearing a cone and didn't inhale any water. I do not think this is the fault of the clinic at all. But I just want to warn to keep an eye out after you get home, especially if giving additional pain medicine.

I am beyond disappointed with Gilbertsville Veterinary Hospital and will never return…read more What they did to me is a literal bait and switch -- and I have the proof in writing. They texted me saying they couldn't refill my cats' Chewy prescription food because my cat was overdue for an exam, and that I simply needed to schedule a wellness visit. Nowhere did they indicate they no longer fill digital prescriptions for outside pharmacies. Their exact text: "Good morning! We received your request from Chewy for Leo's urinary diet, however we have to decline it due to Leo being overdue for his exam. There has to be a doctor-client-patient-relationship established within a year to be able to approve this. We would be happy to schedule a wellness visit with you! Please give us a call with any questions and to schedule. Thank you, have a good day!" So, I complied. I scheduled an appointment, spent over $300 for a routine checkup and a couple vaccines, and during the visit they even asked me directly if my cats were on prescription food. I confirmed they were. Yet at NO point did anyone disclose that they had stopped providing digital prescriptions to outside pharmacies like Chewy. Instead, I only found out afterward (once they had my money) when Chewy's second request was denied a week later and I was told I'd have to physically pick up a written script or use their in-house pharmacy. That's not miscommunication. That's deliberate, manipulative, and designed to back customers into a corner so they're forced to buy from the hospital's pharmacy. When I expressed my dissatisfaction in response to their email where they once again denied my digital prescription, the only response I got was a canned text saying my written prescriptions were ready for pickup. No apology. No acknowledgment. No accountability. On top of the dishonesty, the staff are cold and unhelpful. This is not just bad customer service, it's unethical business practices. It should be illegal. They took my money under false pretenses and withheld critical information that directly affected my ability to care for my pets. Pet owners deserve transparency, honesty, and compassion. You won't find that here.

We first visited them with a kitty who had…read morebeen through three rounds of urinary issues with another vet who was recommending a radical surgery. We went to SVH with him, and Dr Sharma had him cured with one round of medication after several months of back and forth with another vet. We've had many more experiences with them, not always perfect, but always in the best interest of our pets. Doc was also able to rehabilitate my moms Labrador who tore her ACL with minimal damage. He caught my 2 boy cats heart mummers very early which lead to us medicating their genetic heart conditions as early as possible. Dr Sharma is a very good vet, who listens to you and takes your questions and feedback into consideration. We've had a resoundingly consistent, positive experience with this practice. The only serious complaint I have about them is that there is always a wait, weather I'm picking up meds or brining in a pet for an appointment, but I would rather get the best care for my pets, and have to wait a bit. I highly recommend this practice to anyone with a pet.

So incredibly thankful we found Urgent Vet. From the very first call for help to the compassionate…read morecare we received, I truly can't say enough about the staff. I may sound like a crazy cat lady -- but our Rex was injured and developed an abscess. I did everything I could to keep it clean, but it was getting worse and I was terrified. At 4:30 on a Tuesday night, with limited funds, I started calling everywhere. Urgent Vet was the only place that told me to come right over. I cannot even describe the relief in that moment. They got us in immediately, which meant more than I can express. We still need to follow up with a primary vet since they're urgent care only, but the care we received on Tuesday, February 10th was exceptional. The young tech/veterinary nurse who handled our intake (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!) answered every single "crazy" question with patience, kindness, and zero judgment. The vet came in and explained everything in detail so we fully understood what was happening, what needed to be done, and what to expect next. That reassurance meant the world when we were feeling overwhelmed and scared. And to the techs in the back -- the ones we didn't have the opportunity to thank personally -- thank you for watching over our guy and keeping him safe under sedation. That trust is everything. This morning I woke up to my Rex being loving and affectionate again instead of hiding because he was in pain. Seeing him comfortable and acting like himself again says more than words ever could. When you're worried about your pet, that level of compassion and professionalism makes all the difference. Thank you to the entire team for treating Rex -- and me -- and my daughter with outstanding care. More importantly for your compassion. Forever grateful If you ever find yourself needing urgent care for your four-legged baby, please take them here. I promise you won't regret it. Forever grateful.

Judging by the X-ray when I saw it. I didn't think it would be and I'm not even a professional. I did take him back and the second vet did what needed to be done the first time. My cat has now been relieved and I guess my disappointment lies in the fact that I had to take him back twice which is a lot of stress they had to put him under and pretty much pull out as much of the fecal matter as they could. This did the job. Unfortunately it wasn't done the first time. Ask the right questions.
