Veterinarians near Northford

“This was my first time there with my dog Diego. The staff was very kind and professional. Thank you.“

“Our two tuxedo cat sisters were given their annual exam by Dr Soucy and her assistant.
Both exams were detailed and thorough and both Emily and Frida were handled gently. We were given helpful and experience- based information and advice regarding our concerns for their care going forward.
Perfect visit. Attentive, un-rushed, clean office, on time appointment. Definitely five stars.“

“The TPLO guide was so much appreciated. It helped me support my dog in her rehab. With the weekly emails and reminders it helped keep both of us on track. Very Grateful for this guide and recommend to everyone that is going through TPLO surgery.“

“Our boy Mr Meow, had to go in for the inevitable procedure to ensure he was going to be happy and healthy for as long as possible. He was neutered last week.

I didn't like the idea at all, nor did he I'm certain. But, the ladies here made me feel at ease.

It wasn't easy for me to walk out the door while he was calling for me, but they did a really great job of assisting me it was normal for me to break down and sigh to the point of ugly crying on my way to the car.
When I called, and texted, and left messages, and called back, they addressed my concerns without making me feel like a hassle, and arranged things so that my schedule didn't miss a beat- I had come down from Plymouth, and that was a concern that they worked closely on with me to avoid problems with.

And now he's doing just perfectly fine a week later he's happy, shiny, and mew.“

“Been with them for 8 years and they take amazing care of Jax! Always respectful, prompt, and courteous. Always able to accommodate a last minute appointment. Would give 10 star review if I could!“

“Been with this clinic since Dr Cohen and we love Dr Mags and the office set up. He takes time with the animals which matters greatly to me. They’ve done a lot of work on the clinic and monitor the ‘traffic flow’ which is appreciated. We trust Dr Mags with my service dog’s health issues and my dog trusts him…and Alby. ;) Always awesome to have Alby around during visits. I think Alby has helped make the vet a positive place for my dog! :) I look forward to bringing future service dogs in training here to get some reassurance and training from Alby and a good positive vet experience with Dr Mags.“

“Excellent, have been going for over 28 yrs , everyone is fantastic and care is the best. I highly recommend taking your beloved friend here.“

“This is the greatest vet! The entire office makes your pet feel safe. They are all wonderful and I am so lucky to have my cat a part of them. They are all very in tune with all the animals.“

“I’ve always had terrific experiences with Dr James and the rest of his team. I’ve had dogs with a variety of medical issues and the consultations are spot-on and thoughtful. I have no reservations recommending this practice to anyone.“

“Powder Ridge has a lovely, caring staff. I come from Bridgeport to get the fine attention that the doctor's show to our fur baby.“

“Dr. Alter and his staff are top tier and wonderful. Great expertise, decent fees and a genuine love for animals keep me coming back year after year. They sincerely adore and care about my cats; it's steadily apparent. Dr. Alter also saved - and preserved - the life of one of my cats whom he diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. After the necessary tests and realizing that surgery was impossible, he prescribed potent medication and baby aspirin, which kept her viable and comfortable for three and a half more years than she would've had previously without a proper diagnosis. I will ALWAYS be grateful to Dr. Alter and his staff for their knowledge and kindness.“

“Very Friendly and passionate staff. I walked in very nervous I was worried If i made the right choice. Leaving I felt like I was family and my dog was very happy and didn’t want to leave.“

“I took my fur baby to this place not trusting to many of the vets out there . The young lady at the front desk with tattoos, I believe her name was Megan. She did such a great job answering my questions and calming not only me down but also my dog! He's not around other people much so he's anxious. Something about her reassured him I guess because he went right with her. She went above and beyond to make me feel better and comfortable. I knew I made the right choice 2 minutes into our interaction. Just wanted to say ty to her for going above and beyond her job description!“

“Dr. Nick is so nice . He cares . He captured a feral for me Leonardo and had him neutered and shits and dropped him back off to me . . Trish Dyer“

“I see some reviews where people complained about waiting for their visit. In 2022 Dr. Mendillo spent a lot of time with our less than 6 year old Boxer Mel when it was time to euthanize him. His mast cell tumor was ginormous and infected and my husband and I were having a difficult time saying good bye. Dr. Mendillo and Courtney were absolutely wonderful with our boy. I will never complain about waiting now that I know how they spend their time. We have two 11 month old Boxers and they are under Dr. Mendillo's care.“

“Caring and compassionate! Tucker loves going to see everyone…may not like his toes touched but we’re working on it! Awesome office and staff!!!“

“We've been going to Ridgehill Animal Hospital since 1997, so we feel we truly know this place well, and we're happy with the care given. We especially love Stacy at the front desk, she's kind beyond kind, and we love Dr. Moruzzi, she is a treasure, she's unbelievably knowledgeable, skilled, patient and kind. We adore her, she's taken care of our pets for almost ten years now. We just got a new puppy and she has given us excellent care as always. She made her spay surgery with hernia repair an easy experience and recovery for our puppy. She also took care of our love, our Coco, who was the best girl, she was a rescue, she was up in age, and Dr. DiLeone cured her Mast cell tumor, and later Dr. Moruzzi kept her well for years with Cushing disease, she also repaired Coco's knee with a TPLO surgery that was a complete success!! Sadly, yesterday at 15+, we had to say goodbye to our Coco, she developed a heart murmur that caused a stroke, it was time, a decision that broke us to make, we had to rely on a vet we didn't know, over the holiday week, but we have to give a huge thank you to Dr. Everett!!! She is incredible, she told us what we needed to know to make the right decision, she stayed with us through the whole process, she gave us time to grieve, to say goodbye as a family, and she did it with great knowledge, compassion and love. We will always be grateful for her, she was like an angel of mercy who walked into the room and held our hands through it all, making sure that our baby was given a graceful and painless experience as she went to the other side. She was held by her whole family, and had love and respect around her the entire time. We should all be so lucky to have a final send off like that!! Thank you to these angels for keeping our girl healthy and happy through the years, and thank you for helping her in the end too, the team at Ridgehill were part of protecting a beautiful life and we are grateful.“

“I've been taking my animals here for a long time. Everyone treats my dog like he is their dog. He is always so happy to see his people when he goes there. Our dogs have always received top notch care from all the vets here.“

“There were a couple times when they had forgotten something and I had to visit twice in the same day.

Once was when they had forgotten to give my dog one of her vaccines and asked me to come back in the same day and the second time they had forgotten to give me her prescription food. I had to leave work to come back both times before they closed.

Thankfully they understood the inconvenience and quickly handled the situation by waiving some fees.

Kind vets and understanding receptionists!“

“Dr. Stewart and her staff goes above and BEYOND for their patients. Dr. Stewart is extremely knowledgeable about veterinarian medicine and answers any questions I have in detail. Herself and her staff have such a love for animals of all kinds. Her technicians are so caring and her reception staff is always willing to help in any way they can. I will always use and recommend this practice!“

“This veterinary center is fairly expensive - but it is New Haven after all. Decent service and helpful staff.“

“My pups have been patients at this practice for over 12 years. I do agree with some comments regarding pricing, however, they have always worked well with me to get appointments and in an emergency have been truly responsive. Dr Kumar has put down 3 of my pups when they no longer had a good quality of life and the experience was nothing but wonderful. Calm, caring, spent time with us and then let us sit with Kayla, Pookie and Yodi as long as we wished. I find the level of expertise on the surgical side is also incredible. A new vet was recently hired who I find to be very Simpatico. For those who don't know Spanish, it does not mean sympathetic. It is a term that has no direct translation into English but basically a nice, warm and caring attitude. My Amstaph is on an NSAID that can cause liver issues do I have to do frequent bloodwork which is great because her levels increased and we had to reduce the dosage so as not to cause severe liver damage. I find the front desk staff lovely. The office manager has been at the practice for two decades and has always been very kind and professional in my dealings.“

“Dr Malek AND staff were excellent in the care of my boy Tony. Unfortunately due to old age and being sick he passed away and they were very compassionate sending me a card with everyone’s name on it. Tony was very difficult when going to the vet. Dr Malek was literally the only vet who would work with Tony. All others refused us without even trying hard enough. Tony got his care from Dr Malek and staff everytime without them complaining or calling animal control on us like another place. THANK YOU Dr Malek and Gina and staff for everything I highly recommend“
