They're on Roderick St and honestly handle emergency situations better than most places I've seen. Someone's dog got attacked by wolves and came out of it well—the surgeon and Dr. Seguin apparently taught them techniques to avoid a second surgery. That's the level of detail they go into. They've also got people who are genuinely good with anxious animals. One review mentioned a tech who was incredible with a nervous dog, checking in constantly even during a packed late-night shift. That matters when you're stressed about your dog being stressed.

The staff seems to actually pay attention during rough visits too. Someone took their bird in for an emergency blood feather situation and the vet handled it with real care. Then there's the end-of-life stuff—people mentioned the redheaded woman at the front desk was unexpectedly kind and thoughtful about one of the worst days. Dr. H and Dr. Boller both got specific praise for actually listening and explaining things clearly instead of just running through the motions. Call ahead to confirm hours and what they're doing that day since they emphasize that in their info—it's worth confirming before you show up, especially if it's urgent.

Roderick St isn't far from Saxe Point Park if you need to kill time with the dog beforehand, though parking-wise just scope it out when you get there. They're legit for both routine stuff and emergencies, which is rare. I'd go back.
