I have been taking my dogs to Great Road for nearly 30 years now, and some 5 dogs later, I commend Great Road for its high standards of care and follow-through. We've had sick dogs, dogs who needed to be put to sleep, dogs who needed surgery, and we have always had excellent veterinary care from Dr. Kelman and his associates. The entire staff, including the other vets, is caring and supportive, especially with sick or dying animals. Their follow-up is thorough. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. The best!

The Great Rd. Vet practice is the best Vet practice I have ever worked with. We have moved a few times and have an older cat who hates vet visits. At previous places, I was always waiting for the vet and then waiting for paperwork, etc. The visits took an hour or more. At Great Rd. Veterinary Hospital, I am able to make appointments on line and am in and out in a very short time. The vets are very good and there are enough of them to see us, even when we have an emergency. The checkout process is fast and smooth, as well as thorough. Thanks to the whole team that keeps Tiger (our cat) healthy. My wife and I appreciate it, even though he does not like visiting you!

Love Dr. Kelman. Been using him for as long as he has had this practice. Just brought my new dog to him this week. I especially appreciate that he makes house calls when it comes to our beloved dogs making their transition. Can't express how much this means to us. My last dog was terrified going to the vet and he came out to Groton to see her. We said our tearful good byes out in the front yard and Dr. Kelman had us go into the house and he took care of her remains. Her name was Abby. It is never easy, but this made her last minutes with us at her home and surrounded by her loved ones. Thanks Dr. Kelman.Even though we moved out to Groton a few years back we still come back to Acton because of Dr. Kelman.

I can't say enough great things about Great Road Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Kelman is such a kind,gentle and knowledgeable vet. He answered all my questions thoughtfully and never rushed through any of our appointments. My dog was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and he has been wonderful through the whole process. All of the Vet Techs and staff go above and beyond and out of there way to be nice and helpful. The other evening, one of the staff members stayed late for me so that I could get my dogs medication and was so kind about it. If you are considering taking your pet here- don't hesitate, you won't regret it.

The visit was great. My puppy will be happy when he returns, because he was actually having fun and relaxed. Dr Kelman was amazing, patient and gentle during the exam and vaccination. My puppy actually fell sleep. The doctor took the time to address all my concern and was patient and friendly, and took the time to answer he million questions i had. Dr. Kelman took the time to make my puppy feel comfortable with him, and helped introduce the stuff and visitors to my puppy for extra socialization. He made my dog feel comfortable and the experience enjoyable for both me and my puppy. Thank you!

I've been taking my dog to Acton Animal Hospital for 7 years. We see Dr. Johnston and couldn't be more pleased. She is excellent with her explanations of possible causes of health issues. I came in sure my dog had a hip issue and she immediately could see that all movement was within the normal range. The cost to treat my dog for Lyme's and for possible ingestion of poison, were clearly explained to me before any procedures happened. I like that they immediately clip her claws upon arrival as I know that my attempts are not as bold! Most appointments can be made within a day of calling.
