Chase Farm Veterinary Hospital

I am officially in love with this vet. After having several disappointing experiences in Providence, I tried this place at the recommendation of a friend. First I just took my dog in for a routine visit, but last week she needed surgery for a hernia in her stomach, as well as a loose tooth removed. The staff is great – so much friendlier and more competent than the staff at a lot of vet offices. And the doctor who performed my dog’s surgery was awesome. She was able to correctly diagnose the hernia, while two other vets we had seen had no idea what it was. Also, the cost at Chase Farm was HALF of the estimate I got in Providence. I am so grateful that I found this place for my dog, and would not hesitate recommending it to anyone.

My family has had a long standing relationship with CFVH and Dr. Nicole Rickard in particular. My 2 previous dogs were patients of Dr. Rickard and my 2 current dogs are patients.
I HIGHLY recommend CFVH to anyone and wouldn’t want to bring my dogs anywhere else.
Not only did the staff at CFVH help my family to locate a specific type of puppy while a family member was terminally ill (on extremely short notice) but they did so with a level of caring and compassion that showed they care not only about their animal patients but about their families as well.
About 6 months later, my other dog was brought in while we were on vacation in Florida. Unfortunately the staff at CFVH had to inform us that he had a bone tumor that had caused his femur to break. We were told we had to amputate or euthanize and that they were very confident in the positive results from amputation in Gunner’s specific case. Dr. Rochette was extremely helpful and sensitive to our feelings as we made this difficult decision from 1,000 miles away. Dr. Rochette and Dr. Pitcairn performed the amputation within hours and did a fantastic job. They kept our dog, Gunner, there for 5 days until we returned home from our trip and kept us posted every step of the way with how he was doing or reassuring us he was doing well whenever we felt the need to call.
Gunner has now been undergoing chemotherapy for the past 4 months at CFVH and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their continued attention to his well being. They put 100% into making sure that he is comfortable and that we are too. We are in CFVH 2 – 3 times a month and are always greeted warmly by a familiar face.
Besides the human side of the positives we have experienced at CFVH it is excellent that they provide many services in house. Being able to do the amputation and the chemotherapy without having to start with a new veterinary hospital was excellent.
Gunner is doing fabulously and we have everyone at CFVH to thank for all of their hard work and love towards all of us through the good times and the bad times with our four legged and three legged family members.
