Been coming here for 2 years and it's become unprofessional, un reasonable, and they refused to refill my dogs heart worm rudely after I already spent $200 on it. $65 to walk though the door and bunch a random tests. No thanks we will find a new vet that actually cares and can get me in when my dog is actually sick. Not when it convenient for them...

We have been taking our cats to Winter Hill since 1998. Most of that time the practice was owned by Dr. Jane O’Donnell- a simply wonderful vet! The new practice owner (Dr. Symanska) is difficult to communicate with and I rarely feel heard by her. A good vet knows that the pet owner’s needs are also part of pet care. She is dismissive of your own experience with your pet. She had the age wrong in both her head and her records about my cat. She quickly tired of discussing strategies to care for my complicated older cat. On two occasions she withheld important prescriptions for administrative reasons. On the second occasion she made a disingenuous statement about her license related to the prescription for some Hill’s food that any cat could eat. I feel infantilized during our conversations, based on her tone and word choices. She’s imperious. There just seems to be a lack of professional maturity. I have many other issues: the portal, messages from the portal, hours, answering the phone….I I would strongly advise finding another vet. I am so empathetic about running a small animal veterinary practice. The practioners have high rates of depression and suicide, its hard, thankless and not always financially rewarding. Practitioners need to remember, as Dr. O’Donnell did, that pet care is also people care. Take care of the people and the pets will have better outcomes. I am not one to write bad reviews about anything, but the amount of uneccessary stress caused by my interactions with the vet warrants sharing.

The rudeness that I encountered from this place is just so unprofessional and uncalled for.I just received a letter on the vet's policies, notifying me of being more than 5 minutes late. This is true, I didn't know that my previous appointment would run later than it did. I literally RAN all the way from Assembly Row to my home to pick up my cat, inducing my asthma along the way. Instead of being understanding about the circumstances and just leaving it at a rescheduled appointment, the vet manager accused me of "disrespectful behavior", in their words.Also, my cat is very distressed when he's in his crate. He will beat on it multiple times so I try to at least let him poke his head out and see where he is when he's inside so he feels more in-control of the situation. He didn't leave the crate when I was there, with the exception of one visit, which the doctor did not seem to have an issue with. Once again, the vet manager accused this of being "disrespectful behavior."The lack of empathy shows. I wouldn't be as upset if the letter was like "Just an FYI, we understanding things happen but..." or a fair conversation where we would respectfully hear out each other's reasonings and point-of-views, but the manager chose to insinuate that I was the one completely at fault. Do better.

They have cared for my cats since 2000. I was sad when the prior vet retired but they have done well by Emmy. She just had extensive dental work and extractions and the vet was very communicative and caring.

We had an awesome experience at Winter Hill Vet clinic for our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Dr Kasia and all the staff are incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and caring. They answered all my questions and helped ease some of my anxiety as a first-time puppy parent. Highly recommend!

Very nice people. The bill came to $500 for a first time visit with our elderly cat. I recommend asking about pricing upfront as we paid a high lab fee ($350.). However, a great vet and staff.

This vet requires you to submit all requests through their online portal but doesn’t respond unless you follow up several times. If you need an appointment for your sick pet it’s a least 5 days and they tell you to go to an animal hospital.

This clinic is very unreliable. They take 5 days minimum to respond to emails and after they confirmed my appointment booking, they then emailed me two days prior to my appointment to say they had to reschedule. We then rescheduled at the time they asked us to, only to show up for the appointment and be told they double booked again and could not see our dog. It was also a waste of anxiety medication on our dog for an appointment that we didn’t get.

Wanted to switch to a local vet after we moved for our 11 year old Chihuahua mix. We booked our first appointment with them and when we contacted to confirm some other information they made us reschedule for a different time that day. He needs several anxiety meds to go which were prescribed from the previous vet, so we gave those to him per the recommendation of the vet and I brought him in his carrier to the appointment. We get there and now they say there was a schedule error and they won't be able to see him today. So I had to waste his meds which make him barely able to walk, and carry him back and forth to the vet for them to not even see him. This is the service they provide to new patients, don't waste your time.
