Compassion Veterinary Clinic

I brought Smokey, my neutered male cat there when he was struggling to urinate. I called and explained what was going on and they had me bring him in right away. I was a nervous wreck of course, my pets are my family. The office is very clean. The Doctor, who is very kind and knowledgeable recommended leaving Smokey overnight and so I did. I went the next day to pick him up and the Receptionist was very friendly and thoroughly explained what I needed to do the next several days, and explained all of the meds.
It was an overall great experience under the circumstances. I’ve have since decided to bring all of my pets there. I definitely recommend this Veterinary Hospital!

Im from out of town and travel with my dogs. This is the only vet that could get me in within the same week I needed them and they were super friendly!

I cannot say enough positive things about Compassion Vet Clinic — I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! Only a few weeks after moving to Massachusetts, my 1-​year old cat was vomiting bile and refusing food or water for several days. My partner and I are both students, so our budgets are very tight. We had no idea what to do, and we weren’t even sure if he had eaten something that was stuck in his intestines or if he had a viral or bacterial infection. We took him to the closest vet and got poor service and vague, frightening estimates for «minimum of $ 2000 for surgery, if it goes quickly and the surgeon only makes one incision.»
We were almost ready to give up and put him down, but a call to Compassion Vet was our saving grace. The staff are all friendly, helpful, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. We were very upfront about our financial situation, and they gave us a quote far below what we were previously told a surgery of this kind would take. They admitted him on Friday and performed the surgery during their lunch break. He stayed overnight and has since fully healed. The veterinarians and staff at this clinic went above and beyond for us; they even counseled us over the phone regarding post-​surgery care when we noticed our cat had stopped eating again. At our final follow-​up visit, they even refunded us for products that we hadn’t used. For as long as I’m in the area, I will absolutely be using them as my one and only vet clinic, and I highly recommend them to others in the area.

This place has always been good, able to accommodate me schedule wise and prompt for appointments. The point that they went above and beyond was when my kitten Stella got sick, they truly showed «compassion» and felt like they truly cared as if she was their own. It’s never easy having an animal pass away. They didn’t have to send flowers and a card and make follow up phone calls, but it is something that is rare these days and I will continue bringing my furry family to this location because of that.

I have two dogs and they love the people at Compassion Veterinary. Of course they charge for services and medications provided. What vet doesn’t? If cost is a concern, you should discuss that up front. I did not find that they charged any more or less than other vets.
The facility is clean, the administrative staff is friendly, and the vets and assistants are thorough and knowledgeable. Appointment times are kept and they call with test results promptly.
Dr. Patil is my vet and he’s very gentle, always happy to answer questions, and my dogs like him. I’m very happy with Dr. Patil and his staff. He has provided consistently good care and advice.
I would recommend Compassion a Veterinary to others. I went to them based on a positive recommendation from somebody as a matter of fact.

Their check ups aren’t as expensive as other places, unlike what the other reviewer said. I went here for years but changed Vets because they hired new vets and every time I went in I would get a different vet now. No one gave me any instructions when my cat was sick and not eating. Because I had common sense I force fed my cat some food and water daily. 2 – 3 days AFTER I visited the vet because cat was sick 1 of their vets called and happen to tell me a cat needs ½ a can of food daily or could die! So my pet could have died 2 – 3 days earlier if I hadn’t thought to force feed my cat myself!
Also they hate online pharmacies. They would always give me a hard time every time I asked for my pet’s prescription in writing so I could order through the mail from a nationally recognized US registered pet pharmacy (cheaper and more convenient for me). Heard owner vet brag to a new employee about how my cats had been going to him for years, yet he didn’t treat me or my pets like family. I became just another client to them, even after seeing them yearly for almost a decade! Did not value me as a client. I only chose them years ago because they were the only local vet open on a Saturday when my cats were kittens and needed an immediate checkup after 2 of my kittens had died.

They are nice at Compassion Veterinary, but expensive and charge you for EVERY little thing that they do for your pet. I brought my dog in for his annual checkup ($ 39 just to walk in the door) and came out with an almost $ 340 bill. After giving my dog all his routine shots, they charged me $ 10 just to clip his nails even though the vet said the length was okay. It only took them a minute to trim his nails and I could just as easily done it myself at home. I had no idea they were going to charge me for something so minuscule.
My dog had an ear infection so they charged me $ 19 to clean out his ears on top of the $ 14.50 for an 8oz bottle of ear cleanser and $ 33.05 for a 15g tube of ear ointment. In the future If you choose to use this vet make sure you ask him how much each thing costs before he does it. I won’t be using them again.
