On 03/04/2022, our dog Claude, a year old healthy black Labrador Retriever, was neutered at GVH. By Sunday, Claude had developed a 7 pound fluid bubble on his chest/rib cage area. On 03/07, we took Claude back to GVH and, without performing any labs, Dr. Alivernini diagnosed him with a seroma. Claude's condition continued to worsen and on 03/09/2022, we took Claude to VRC where he was diagnosed with a septic abdomen, slipped into shock and underwent emergency surgery. By 03/10/2022, Claude's kidneys shut down and we had to make the difficult decision to end his pain. Throughout our ordeal, Dr. Alivernini was cavalier about the situation and treated us like we were overreacting. She still has not contacted us regarding Claude's death

Simply the best... Have had our pets seen at one time or another by most of the vets in this practice. All were thorough, competent and just as important caring & compassionate, the vet and surgery techs as well. Special kudos to Dr Hanlon & Bev at the reception desk .

I've been going to GVH for 11 years. I just had my oldest of 3 dogs in for an issue, which btw I scheduled on a weekend via text messaging! they make it so easy! and I've sent pictures of things I was concerned about from time to time and they are super responsive. I can't say enough about how great the staff is here. They are so nice to me and my 3 dogs! I generally see Dr. Hanlon and he literally talks to my dogs like they are my children, or his children! He's so sweet and loving to them, and so are the assistants. Love it!

I took my little fur babies here for the first time and I was very happy with their services. The receptionist and technicians were welcoming and very friendly. The Veterinarian was also very nice, informative but most importantly our dogs liked him. I am new to the area so I'm so happy to finally find a vet I can trust with my dogs. I would recommend this Veterinarian Hospital to friends and relatives.

$198 for a CHECKUP for a cat a few years shy of 10. Wait. What? That's not more than $55-75. The little man has zero health problems. But it doesn't end there. Inclusive of his shots, the bill was over $400!!!! FOR A YEARLY ANNUAL VISIT. FOLKS- let me assure you. This bill should not have been more than $125. This place is nothing but greed. Save yourselves the time and the money.

I find Dr Hanlon to be caring, patient and extremely knowledgeable. He will spend all the time you need with him explaining and working with you on any concerns you have. His office staff are friendly and professional and calls are returned promptly.

Dr. Hanlon is the most caring and compassionate veteranarian we've ever met. We've been going to him ever since we've moved and will never go anywhere else.

I am very disappointed that this animal hospital would not help us. We were in the parking lot with a baby Nigerian dwarf goat bleeding from a head wound and they would not help us. Said they didn't take large animals. This baby was about the size of a cocker spaniel.

We are from Colorado and I was traveling with my dog In Pennsylvania. She recently had a cyst removed from her back and so she had staples on her back while she healed from surgery. We came here to have her staples removed. I think the ladies name was Brenda who was so nice to my dog and fed her like 50 treats. My dog gets nervous easily and they made her feel comfortable. The popped the stitches out while a tech scratched my dogs face. It was a good experience overall, and we were in and out. They were on the high end of pricing from my experience but my dog got a good chunk of that back with all the treats she ate while being there. Thanks guys, moving back to PA soon so I will probably see you again.

Dr. Helfer is The Best!!! I'm hesitant to recommend her veterinarian services only because it'll make getting an appointment with her more diff than it already is, but she gives the facts, doesn't up-sell, is honest & personally cares about my pets. In short, a terrific veterinarian!!!

I just moved to the area and started seeing Gilbertsville Vet for my three large dogs. The staff is friendly and everything has been great, no complaints and they typically have appointments available. I would recommend them.

The people at Gilbertsville Veterinary Hospital are caring people. Dr. Theodore has been informative about the problems our dog has faced in the past and helping us to give him a better life.
