Metrowest Veterinary Assoc

We had been taking our Shepherd there for 4 years and had nothing but good experiences with the women vets on staff. The last time we visited before moving out of state, we took an appt with Dr. A., the only male vet on staff. He was arrogant and rude, and seemed to have no idea how to approach animals. Our dog did not like being unceremoniously jabbed with the stethoscope and wouldn’t let the doctor near him after that. If we had not moved, we would never had accepted an appointment with him again. I have since heard that two other friends have moved their business elsewhere for the same reason. So go ahead and see the women veterinarians, but stay away from Dr. A.

I highly recommend Metrowest Vet, we’ve been taking our dog here for years and couldn’t be happier with the care. Compared to other vets in the area the prices are also very reasonable as well. You have a life long customer with us, we love this place!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Do not go here. There’s a few investigations pending on this place. My friend’s dog passed away due to their negligence. They will steal your money and give you no results and your pet will pay the price. It’s a matter of time before they are caught. Dr. Marcy is THE WORST!!!

Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Arzt and his staff. We moved from Boston, where we had been with Angell as well as a smaller practice in Belmont. Excellent doctors and vet techs, very gentle with our pets, excellent communication with us. From a minor urinary issue with our cat — solved by switching to wet cat food, to diagnosing a torn ACL in our large lab mix, explaining the various options clearly and patiently, and referring us to a great surgeon to perform the procedure and then a wonderful rehab vet for after care, we feel that our pets are very, very well cared for here. Afterr 3 months our dog was running around without a limp, good as new, and a year later, one would never know there was an issue. Highly recommended.

I had been going to this vet for a number of years. I liked many of the vets there, but one, Dr A was insulting and insensitive. I had a number of negative experiences with this guy. On one occasion I brought a stool sample in to be tested as I had been encouraged to do by one of the other vets during my dogs annual exam. Even though I explained what was going on he had a condescending tone stating that he couldn’t offer any assistance without examining my dog. I again explained that we were there recently and I was told to bring a sample in. He acted annoyed and was of no help. On another occasion I brought my 20 year old cat in who was vomiting frequently. Dr A (a-​hole) treated me like I was abusing the cat that I loved. He basically said that because she was losing weight at some point in the future she should be euthanized to relieve her suffering. Suffering? Huh? My cat, now 2 years later, is active and happy. She purrs frequently and enjoys going outside and hanging out by the fish pond. I continued to go to Metrowest but only would be seen by Roxanne, a caring and engaging professional. When I recently called to make an appointment I learned that she had left the practice. I got on the website to look at the bios of the other vets there. It was them that I learned that Dr A owned Metrowest. No way was I going to give this uncaring a hole my business anymore. We found a new vet who is caring and wonderful. Looking back I can now see that his motives were financially based and not compassionate.

I HIGHLY recommend taking your pet to Dr. Papanicholas. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. Her true compassion and regard for animals is abundantly clear on every visit. She will literally be on the floor just loving on your animal. She has provided excellent care for our precious pup for many years. She’s very easy to get a hold of — which is extremely important to me since we have encountered our fair share of Emergency situations. The added bonus to having such a stellar vet is that Metrowest makes it very affordable.

I took my dog to Dr. Kerri Papanicholas for his yearly checkup. She is super friendly and very knowledgeable, and my dog definitely felt very comfortable with her, even after the usual uncomfortable stuff (shots, expression of anal glands, etc.). Even though I live in Boston, I will definitely be making the drive out to Milford so that Dr. Papanicholas can take care of my dog!

This is a great place for the care of your pet. The Vet’s on call are caring and responsive to your concerns. Service prices are reasonable. This is a good choice for your Vet needs.
