I had to bring my pet in for a last-minute checkup, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention that Dr. Sean Bell and his team provided. Everyone was courteous, prompt, and made me feel comfortable bringing my little guy to the vet. I'm thrilled that I found such a great place so close to home. Read Less

I took my cat to the Center for a check-up of his respiratory system. The quality of their service was remarkable: it was quick and efficient. Scheduling of an appointment was easy, the waiting time was not very long, the doctor and personnel are very competent. They quickly run tests so that the results are ready the following day.The only downside is the prices. A single visit during which they did a so-called "wellness profile" for my cat cost me around $1k. Before agreeing to run all the tests (half of them were clearly unnecessary) the doctor offers you an estimate cost but it's kind of hard to be skimpy on the health of your beloved pet. Read Less

Dr. Bell asked me to leave a review as I left yesterday, and I am happy to do it for him. He has been my vet for the past 4 years since I moved to Greenwich, and has done an amazing job caring for my cats who are not the easiest animals to deal with. I am shocked that someone could have said anything negative about this practice, and very saddened to hear that as he is a very important part of our lives. The fact that people would complain about having to pay for quality veterinary services is pathetic. I will continue to use this practice and I recommend it to all of my friends and family who are in the area. The staff at Greenwich Vet truly care about the well being of my pets and they are by far the best in the area. Read Less

If i could I would give them 0 stars.  It was my first and last time there. I called yesterday and set an appointment for my dog in the afternoon, and after I gave ALL his info and mine , the lady on the phone said she made a mistake and they only have grooming services in the morning, so I ended up booking for today at 10am. When I got there she told me I did not have any appointments, but was very accommodating and took him in. My good impression ended up there. When I called at 1pm to check if I could pick him up I was told that they hand't started on him yet, since they had an emergency.  I really understand the word emergency, but the right thing to do is to get the front desk to call the owners of the pets and check if it is OK to delay for two hours. I would not complain IF my dog were clean and looking nice. IT WAS THE WORSE bath he's had. So I called and talked to the manager who said she was doing me a favor because I did not have an appointment and also that I had no reason to complain. They are a veterinary clinic and not a grooming place, so they have priorities. I wonder if everybody who attended the dog in the emergency were fully capable ( since apparently not even  the secretary were available to call me). When my dog got in the car he drank a full cup of water. Which means that he was dehydrated and they did not give him water while he was waiting. When I complaint about that the manager argue with me (again).  She kept talking over me. She didn't listen to me at all. I think if they can't provide a service without compromising the other they should not offer the service.  I'm very disappointed because not only my dog was not considered important (as every client should be) but my dissatisfaction was not properly addressed.  No, I do not recommend this place to anybody. Do your pet a favor: find a place that takes grooming seriously, where people care about your dog and are considerate to their owners. Read Less

DO NOT GO. I brought my dog to Dr. Sean Bell with the SOLE purpose of testing for a urinary tract infection--having urinalysis. I told Dr.Bell, "NO UNNECESSARY TESTS," as the dog and I were in the Greenwich area for two days and she was scheduled to see her regular vet in a few days. Dr. Bell ignored me and gave me a bill for just about $1000. When I looked dumbfounded, he said that he hoped I didn't mind that he took the liberty of performing a variety of tests (which didn't relate to a possible UTI). When I challenged Dr.Bell, he wrote a letter with a lie that is demonstrated as such by my dog's medical records. (I have it in a file,along with other documents that discredit Dr.Bell.) When I offered to assume responsibility for part of the bill, he refused. If you go to Greenwich Veterinary Center, you run the risk of unnecessarily exposing your dog to serious things like radiation and stress and, plainly put, of being entirely ripped off by Dr. Sean Bell.

I just moved here from Denver and didn't have a vet here yet. After my dog was injured in a scuffle with another dog, I called GVS and they not only insisted I bring him in right away, but stayed open until I arrived. Dr. Bell was kind and reassuring and didn't insist on ordering a bunch of tests, but encouraged me to keep an eye on him and sent me home with some pain medication. The prices are a bit high, but the vet techs, Joanne and Carlos, were wonderful. Read Less

I am very happy with the care my pets have had over the last 2 years. They are thorough, carrying, communicative and I love their new location. Vets are expensive no matter where you go; if you neglect your pet and don't get it regular visits expect to pay to bring your pet up to what is considered regular maintenance and to establish a history record so the vet has something to go on in the future. Vets don't have crystal balls. Pets have to have checkups just like people on a regular basis.Read Less

I agree completely w previous reviews. The quality of animal health care is excellent. It you take  your animal to Greenwich Veterinary Hospital they will be well taken care of and provided excellent care. They looked after our Golden for six years and our Ragdoll cat for nine years. The office staff is generally as described in a previous review. Maybe it is a turnover or training issue I am not sure. It does not extend to the professional or care staff who are all great. The care does have a price. It is rare to walk out w a bill of less than $500. The tests go on forever. I  have talked to Dr Bell about this issue and he is sympathetic but offers no suggestions. I have changed vets where the dog is equally well cared for and the tests are appropriate. Hard to do but I think better for all. Read Less

I agree with the review below who says not to go to this vet unless you have an endless bank account. Here is my story: Monday I was giving my 2-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, a treat and while I was "shaking her paw" she cried. I noticed her "dew claw" which is that useless toe dogs have on the top part of their foot, was swollen. I let it be for the week hoping it would get better. But on Friday she was swatting her ball and cried when she banged her toe so I decided it was time for the doctor. Since I was no longer working I considered finding a new vet because I always knew GVH was a little pricey, but I was lazy and figured it would likely be a short appointment. They'd see, as I did, the infection and give her antibiotics. Big Mistake. They had a new vet, and she insisted I leave my dog there for x-rays, which she said required sedation. She also wanted to take some blood work. This all seemed fair although I was a little surprised when they told me it would cost $500. For some reason vets always make me feel like I am crazy to question the costs of these procedures and that I am horrible if I don't seem willing to sell my soul to save my dog. So I left My dog in their prodding hands. Three hours later, the vet phoned to say it was an infection (big surprise), and they had cleaned the area and bandaged her paw. But of course there is always more. She wanted to run one more blood test. Worried about the additional cost of a test that was unrelated to the toe, I asked how much and she said she didn't know. I asked if it was expensive, and the vet actually said, "well what does expensive really mean anyway". I should have known I was in trouble then. So I agreed (again they make you feel like you don't love your pet otherwise). When it was finally time I went to pick up My dog, bracing for the bill. Apparently to my vet $1,081.98 isn't expensive to mend my dog's sore toe. Now I am as guilty as the next pet owner of the occasional frivolous purchase for my dog like a set of rubber boots, or the occasional Halloween costume, but even to me $1000 for a sore toe is a little extreme. Back in my non-Greenwich hometown, it would not even cost $1000 to remove her toe entirely. I had her spayed in New Jersey and it only cost $480 and that was surgery. And again, this wasn't even a real toe. Looking over the itemized bill I was in shock, and speechless, I didn't know what to do so I just paid the money. As I signed my Master card receipt, I thought about how I wouldn't even pay $1000 to make my own toe feel better, and I use my toe. Then again, my insurance company wouldn't allow my doctor to do all of those useless tests, but who is going to stop a vet? I am not an expert and am at their mercy. Its not like the tests were perhaps all unnecessary, but I do believe in another town the same tests would have cost a whole lot less. So now I sit here with my drugged up dog and her purple and blue-polka dotted bandaged paw which by the way cost $46.20 for them to dress. But I am no longer angry. I have spent thousands at this particular vet over the past 3 years and this, I have realized, is the best $1000 I have spent because of all I have learned. Here are my lessons: 1) I will never go back to them and be slowly ripped off on a per test basis. 2) Always question the costs and each tests necessity 3) Ensure my dog gets the exact same treatment at the vet that I would get at my doctor. I.e. I wouldn't check myself in for the day to run tests for an infected thumb. So why do it for my dog? After all, there is an economic crisis. And as a friend, I know these economic times are tough for many of you. So here's some free advice: Don't take your pet to Greenwich Veterinary Hospital. Read Less

Sets the gold standard in animal care.I have brought dogs to Greenwich Veternary Hospital for about 8 years.  All the vets have been knowledgeable, fast, and considerate.  They see patients right away with a minimal wait.  If it is an emergency, they can set up appointments on the same day.  They treat the animal as a member of the family.   Perhaps normal for Greenwich, prices are a little high.  That may be no different from other vets in the area, and certainly the care is the best.  For instance, we are charged a normal fee per vet visit but then many  things done during the appointment cost extra -- clipping the dog's toenails, cleaning the ears, applying a cream...they are all extra.  At times, I have felt that the vets are too quick to want to do additional tests and to intervene.  I am no expert, but compared with other vets I have gone to, I felt that extra tests were being prescribed.  For instance, when one dog had a lump, the vet was eager to aspirate it and send a sample to a pathologist.  When the cytology came back inconclusive, the vet recommended removing the lump just to be safe.  That is the right thing to do, I guess, but other vets said to not worry about it and to keep an eye on it.   Certainly the vet recommended the safest path.  It was just more intervention than other vets recommended.  Or, when a dog had an ear infection, the vet charged a good deal to clean the ears and sell ear cleaning solutions and an antibacterial cream that were together about $25.   Had this been the good old days, the vet might have recommended washing the ear out with vinegar at home ($0) with no additional expense.  Overall, I feel that this vet office is highly skilled and sets the highest standard.
