Best

I came here because my dog was sick with cancer. Dr. Fitzpatrick performed superior treatment. I have been to other Oncologists a few years ago at another hospital and they weren'...

Worst

But the worst. Their business model to extract every $ from you is only exceeded by their incompetence.

Stay away from VCA Weymouth at all costs!!! 7/7/2010

THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF; THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS IS GETTING AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FROM YOU WHILE YOU'RE AT YOUR MOST VULNERABLE. I spent $2,000 on tests and didn't even get a diagnosis-they just wanted to do more tests (an get more money of course!) My dog presented with classic symptoms of FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism) which is fairly common and they didn't even mention it as a possibility! Now I know, of course, that FCE animals almost recover on their own which means NO MORE MONEY FOR THIS EXTREMELY UNETHICAL VETERINARY PRACTICE. Cons: Unethical is an understatement more

So. Weymouth VCA has saved my dog's life TWICE in the past 6 years during an emergency visit and surgery to remove a mast cell tumor. Dr. Walker, Dr. Perry and Dr. Diamond are all compassionate and fabulous and so are all the techs. I have moved 40 miles away, but I still take my dog here. They are worth it. more

Stay away from the VCA! 10/27/2009

A waste of time and money. My cat had nothing but a UTI and they tried to diagnose him with a blockage and quote me at $2,300. The bare minimum cost me $230 and they told me little and did little. I later took him to a local vet and she explained ten times more and couldn't believe they suggested surgery before altering his diet and doing a urinalysis. For LESS money she did a lot more including antibiotics, new food and a supplement for his bladder. I compare the invoices and the VCA charged DOUBLE what this vet did. I will never make the same mistake again. Pros: Emergency Service Cons: Overpriced and tried to con me more

GET YOUR PET TO DECENT VET 10/25/2009

Go to any ""vca"" you like, notice how almost all the ""good"" reviews are written by the name ""anonymous"" sounds fishy. They take as much money from you as possible while you are concerned with one thing, you beloved animals well being. If at all possible, try to find a different place that is open late;I know there are not that many. They tried to hit the poor older woman up for 1000.00 on the spot, she did not have the money. They had the frekin nerve to ""negotiate"" the price down with her. I REALLY felt like crying for this poor senior citizen. SHAME OF YOU people. Her poor cat was obviously all she had left in the world. I understand that vets are in business to make money, but not to make vulnerable people who can not afford it, upset in front of other people. If I had the money, I would have paid this poor woman's bill. Its not even a damn bill, it is an ESTIMATE of how much the bill ""might"" be, and they will NOT let your animal stay the night unless you pay 75% of that. This poor soul looked like she could not afford .75. I have been to many vets, and they always, always, work with a pet owner to help to solve a financial problem. NOT tear at someones heart. Once again, Shame on you v.c.a. You are a gigantic corporation, with places all over the country. I hope you sleep well at night, but I assume you do as long as your share holders get their lovely dividends each month, and you make a profit off of someones grief. you don't ""deserve"" ONE star, I wish they had 1/2 stars, even that would be too high a grad for you crooks. Pros: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Cons: I DON'T HAVE THAT LONG more

Stay Away if you can 10/22/2009

This place is a rip off. First of all, you initial a peace of paper which gives them the right to treat your pet and take full advantage of someones emotions at the time. Then you wait and wait and they run all kinds of unnecessary tests. THEN..a ""tech"" comes out with an estimate as if you were buying a car in the show room. If your pet has to stay, you have to cough up 75% of an (estimated) invoice. Watch out for that phrase, ""estimated"" I picked up my cat at my vets and he was having problems breathing so they recommended that I bring him to this factory called the V.C.A. so that he could be put on oxygen for the night. I brought the report and all necessary information with me. They ran the same damn tests over again. My cat was there for 15 hours, and they charged me 649.39 (as if they could not knock off the .39) They even had to nerve to invoice me for $5.00 to give my cat meds. Meds that I brought with me. I wish there were another place in the area to take a pet in need of emergency care than this high volume,fast paced assembly line. The only people I know that take advantage of someones emotions as good as these people, are funeral directors selling you unnecessary items. STAY AWAY, if you can. Pros: great place to be ripped off Cons: this place is a money making factory more

Our cat almost died because of their incompetency 9/1/2009

Our cat ate a poisonous plant and I rushed him immediately to a VCA in Hanover. Instead of flushing out his kidney and putting him on IV, they ran bloodwork and did an ultra-sound! They told my husband and I that he was anemic and they were worried he had LEUKEMIA! They released him and he kept failing. Six days later we rushed him to the South Shore VCA when he stopped eating and they force fed him. They ran even more tests and told us it might be Pancreatitis). He wasn't recovering so we brought him home to do the feedings ourselves. He wasn't responding so I told my husband that unless a miracle happened we'd have to put him down. We made the appointment for doing this. They took out the feeding tube and brought him to us. He was perky and alert. The doctor still thought we wanted to put him down! We brought him home and hand fed him. Two days later - we had out cat back! The only call from one of the 29 year old vets was to chastise us on giving Buddha a lick of pizza crust (his favorite). They almost destroyed our cat and they're reprimanding me?! (I already mentioned to the doctor before bringing him home was that he liked pizza crusts!!) DON'T bring your animal to either the Hanover VCA or the Weymouth VCA... they run unnecessary tests and fleece you for thousands of dollars. They're rude, they don't call back within reasonable times (like 8 hours after you call!) I hate this place. It's scary there's no other emergency service around the south shore. The VCA is a corporate machine that uses 20 something ""doctors"" to just pick your pockets. HORRIBLE!! Our poor cat, and us, suffered so badly and he's having nightmares for the first time in his 6 short years!! (I wish I could give them ""negative stars""!) Pros: HORRIBLE - Inexperienced vets just our of school!!! Cons: Inexperienced, arrogant and charge A LOT of money!! more
