South Portland Veterinary Hospital

After reading the many positive reviews, I made an appt. with this practice. My experience has been so negative that I wonder about all the positive reviews! A vet saw me and my dog for the first visit, and from there on in, a tech took care of us - she told me that the techs even do the cleaning of a dog's teeth. I knew that I would have to find a new vet when my dog had a very serious ear infection with a lot of "gunk" in the ear. When I took my dog in, they took him in the back and then delivered him back to me with an antibiotic and a steroid to take - and they never even cleaned out his ear!! The ear got worse several weeks ago, and I took my dog to the emergency vet in Scar- borough. A vet came out and talked to me ahead of seeing my dog, and then he came out and talked to me after. They cleaned the ear out, and then called me several days later to check on him. I am sorry to say that I would never refer anyone to S. Portland Veterinary Hospital, and I consider myself and my dog lucky that no lasting damage was done from what I consider to be serious maltreatment.

I cannot write enough good things about our Vet Hospital. They are extremely busy, and sometimes cannot get to the phone right away, but when they do I'm always greeted with kindness. Their Tech have talked to me over the phone countless times about symptoms and are always happy to have me bring the cats in to be seen, even that day. They answer all my silly questions and point me in the right direction. There's never any pressure or judgement. Dr. Allen said we have the most handsome cat in South Portland. Although he probably says that often, it just shows how much they care. My cat Raven even busted out of her carrier once and they had to use medical tape to repair it. Our other cat Gally often throws up, is on a prescription diet and was the runt of the litter so we keep an eye on him and South Portland Vet Hospital on speed dial. In my experience they have responsible pricing and I believe they even have a payment plan. Call today and chat to them, you wont regret it.

Nice place! We are from out of town and needed a prescription. No other vet would help us out. This place did not have an issue with it. Highly recommended.

Very competent, helpful and empathetic. Prices were certainly reasonable. I am very pleased with my pets’ new veterinary friends and staff.

I was referred to this hospital from a previous client many many years ago and she was picky! Can I just say the doctors are wonderful and so isn't the staff. They are always so nice and take the time to answer questions. They are reasonably priced and they have an easy location. Today the doctor talked to me and my daughter whom I had on speakerphone for 45 minutes! He is very caring and I agreed with everything that he said. He could've just brushed us off especially since our dog is very healthy and looks great, but he really listened to our concerns (mainly my daughter's) and he made her feel much more at ease with her dog. The dog has anxiety and has for years. I really just cannot say enough about what a wonderful visit we had today. And it bares repeating...he really listened and talk with us for 45 minutes!!! The staff (many times I see Amanda) they are just great. I don't think you can have a bad experience there. They are wonderful and caring people! We love our dogs and to have a vet that cares is quite can I say...priceless?! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
