I would give this zero stars if I could. My kitten was gaining so much weight, not moving at all, not eating. I brought him to the vet here and she told me he was probably just secretly eating a ton at night. I grew more worried and brought him to an emergency vet in Bourne. They could tell after just looking at him for thirty seconds it was fluid, not fat. Just from looking. The woman at this place looked at him and felt all over and around his stomach (I thought it might have been a tumor) and couldn't tell. No, just secretly eating himself obese during the night. He ended up having FIP, Feline Infectious Peritonitis - a fatal and incurable disease. While he couldn't be saved, he could have been saved a great deal of pain. I can't forgive myself for not doing something sooner, but I can not forgive this woman either. She is incompetent and my 8 month old kitten could have been saved a great deal of constant pain with an earlier diagnosis. Read Less

I was a customer here for many years with many dogs. In the last few months the place I going downhill fast making excuses why the dog is sick and why they can't get it right blah blah blah. Gave them a stool sample that was literally full of worms and they told me that he was all set no worms. Absolutely ridiculous I don't even think they did the test just took the money. But anyways I got a new puppy yesterday so I was trying to make an appointment so I called and the phone just rang and rang and rang. I even left messages no return call so finally I go down there the sign on the door says open with their regular hours but I look inside the building and it's totally cleared out. Apparently the vet could not handle running her own business so she quit to go work for another company. I had to find this out through Facebook. They didn't even have the common courtesy or professionalism to call their clients and tell them that they weren't going to be around anymore. The vet went to Leach Veterinary in Mashpee. So if their professionalism is anything like this place  was your best to steer clear. I know I won't be going there. I just can't believe they wouldn't tell people they're closing especially when I already had appointments booked for future shots months in advance. Completely ridiculous. I guess I can say I'm glad it's gone now. There's much better vets out there anyway this place was a joke to begin with. And again about the stool sample test that's just fucking ridiculous things loaded with worms and you're telling me it's negative bullshit. just a bunch of money grubbers who don't give a shit about you or your pet. Avoid leech veterinarians as well Read Less

I worked as a CVT at MCAH for six years but left before Dr. Mark Reilly sold the practice to Dr. Pretti. I still take my pets there because I know Dr. Pretti does her best to keep prices reasonable for the necessities but still uses the ideal brand vaccinations for cats and dogs.As well as her spay/neuter prices are reasonable.It is a very casual hospital. Dogs are walking behind the desk, and staff may be rush or busy helping someone else when you arrive for an appointment. Dr. Pretti will make you know you've chosen a considerate veterinarian who is practicing cutting edge medicine.Dr.Pretti like many vet hospitals rely on relief vets to help in the pinch. These doctors may be nervous or unfamiliar with the surroundings, but that doesn't diminish knowledge they have. Hopefully, people have better experiences than original poster as that sounded like everybody's worst day. Im sure the doctor learned from the event, but I hope it doesn't stop people from giving Dr. Pretti a shot. Read Less

Absolutely do not use this vet. They were great when I first started but have had a lot of turn over and for the worst. They are the rudest staff ever. I've never had such bad service in my life. My dog is on 3 heart meds and has a severe congested heart disease. This vet does not take her job serious and neither does the staff. They are all about the money and not about the patient. They tell you its your fault if you forget you're running out of meds for you dog. The vet will say she has called in the prescription and she doesn't. The vet and staff will tell you when the vet leaves the building she is not longer reachable. Are you kidding me what kind of place would ever do that?????? Buyer beware if you change vets they basically act like you have never been seen there before. I can't believe this place has not been shutdown.I REPEAT STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS VET!!!!!! Read Less

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I called and left a message an hour past midnight with high concerns for my cat. Seven hours later I received a call back, three hours later I was at the clinic. Wonderful people who really care. The evening of the vet appointment I called again to ask a question, again, the next morning bright and early the vet called me herself. Double high-five from me.

From "start" (when we first heard about Mid Cape), until "finish", we can't say enough good things about Mid Cape. They have given our cat, Dot, unbelievable, loving care. Everyone is very professional and works from obviously, a great love for every animal that comes in the door. Our thanks for all the tender loving care Dot has received; we know they do the same for all "their" animals. Dot has since passed on, and I received a heartfelt condolence card from Dr. Preti that I still have and appreciated "no end". Read Less

I used to really love this vet, but one day I took my cute small Italian Greyhound whom was prone to seizures in to get a few staples when he got injured from running and playing with his brothers. The visiting vet muzzled him to staple him and my little dog went into seizure, he took off the muzzle and my dog bit him, he then dropped him on the floor while my dog was having a seizure, then proceeded to have me quarantine my dog for 10 days for rabies.

I was sorely disappointed by Dr. Mark Reilly and Mid-Cape Animal Hospital's deceptive practices.  Specifically, they estimate cost of surgeries and other services at the outset and assure you that is the price in full but this is not really what you will end up paying.  A secretary or administrative person estimates the service, saying that it is all inclusive--no other costs. When questioning her further, I was told $317 included everything--a pre-surgical discussion with the vet about the process, all bloodwork, etc.,  and he will meet your pet. She said, "that's why it costs so much--everything is included; you will not have to pay anything else". On the same day, the surgery in this case (a declaw of my cat) would be performed immediately after the discussion with the doctor.  I was handed the estimate by the vet's assistant who assured me that the price was high because it included all parts of the service.  For this laser declaw of my cat, the cost estimate was $317 firm for all services of the laser declaw on 2 feet. When I hadn't been called 3 days before surgery, I called them to confirm time and verify the estimate which I noticed was the price for declawing 4 feet (not 2, and I only wanted 2 feet declawed). I was also told that no fasting of my cat would be necessary before surgery and the price was still $317 even though only 2 feet would be declawed. The day before the surgery, I was called and informed that the price estimate had increased to $377 as "they had made a mistake but she could not tell me what the "mistakes" were. I protested this increase because the woman who originally prepared the estimate of $317 had told me it was high at $317 as "all bloodwork, fees, pre-op consultation were included in the cost".  In response to my question, I was told that there was no difference in price whether two feet or four feet were declawed, which I found unususal as it must take more time to declaw 4 feet rather than two. I was told again that the cat did not need to fast beforehand.  I did not feed my cat after midnight anyway--it seemed like the right thing to do. When I arrived for the surgery and the pre-op meeting with the doctor, the doctor reiterated that additional bloodwork would not be required but he felt it a good idea and so I could "check the box" to agree to have the additional blood work done or I could check another box to say "not authorized".  Naturally, I did what the doctor suggested and since I was told that the price was high initially at $317 because "all bloodwork was included", I was bothered and told the secretary so but I still intended to have the surgery completed.  When I met with the Doctor, he brought up my dissatisfaction with the increase in cost from $317 to $377.  I reiterated my dissatisfaction and he said "anyone can make a mistake." I agreed with him but said that in my own firm, if we underestimated a job by our own error,  we would eat the additional cost as clients count on the estimate we provide them with. I further explained that I had made a decision based on $317 and that perhaps I would have made a different decision had I known the surgery would  cost $377, rather than $317.  He acknowledged my unhappiness but said again, "we made a mistake" so I realized at that point that I would be paying the $377 now rather than the $317.  He also asked I if I had fed the cat because she shouldn't have been fed before the surgery. Luckily, I had made that determination on my own because the Doctor's assistant had initially said it would not be necessary but luckily, I used my good sense about that.     The surgery was completed without incident, and I picked up my cat the next morning whereupon the secretary presented me with the final bill--$492--not the $317 nor the $377--no apologies were extended for the additional cost; in fact, the secretary was quite rude to me when I protested this second change in estimate.  She also boldfacedly lied, stating that "she had heard the doctor tell me it would cost $492--which was an out and out lie--I was the one who mentioned BOTH the $317 and the $377 increase to Dr. Mark Reilly, along with my own set of difficulties as my dog was also having surgery with Dr. Reilly's office the next day--this time it was dental surgery.   I balked at the $492 bill and the secretary continued to treat me very rudely, saying I knew what the cost would be all along, which I certainly did not know as I would have stayed  in Boston and had the declaw done there if I knew it would cost almost $200 more or about 60% more than estimated. originally!   Although my dog needed the dental surgery, I told her to cancel the appointment and I would take my business elsewhere. I am writing about this because when I told others about it, I learned that almost all of my neighbors had had similar experiences wth this doctor and they were no longer using Dr. Mark Reilly or Mid-Cape Animal Hospital due to deceptive practice.
