I was out of the country when one of my chickens was accidentally closed in the run door by a friend taking care for our flock and he brought the chicken here. The vet refuted that the chicken was injured and only offered that it was "maybe" a highly contagious illness that we are familiar with due to being forced to cull what remained of our flock a few years before as a result (Marek's disease), which it obviously was not. The vet's only suggestion was to euthanize the chicken. My friend was never asked a single question about the health of the rest of my flock (perfect, and still to this day) or the chicken's vaccine history--one of our only hens from a breeder who chooses to vaccinate for Marek's. A few simple follow up questions would have eliminated the idea of Marek's, fairly common chicken knowledge. I guess the upside is that a complete waste of time only cost $60, as some other vets charge a lot more for avian care. Read Less

I would definitely recommend other vets. Took them to look at my bird. While they were able to give him a clean bill of health, the receptionist Colleen is untrained and rude. Had the nerve to tell my girlfriend that she didn't care about our bird because there was an error with her phone number. It was just unprofessional and childish. The vet and the techs were wonderful but the receptionist was insulting enough that we're not going to go back. If you want a pleasant experience, look elsewhere. You deserve better than to be insulted by the first person you see when you enter. Read Less

My beloved Golden Retriever was just spayed at Windhover by the MOST competent and compassionate professionals I have ever encountered. Dr. McMillan is the best surgeon in all of New England, hands-down, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure not only the comfort of my girl, but also of us nervous parents. The before, during and after care went smoothly and I was kept apprised of status throughout the process. Her scar is clean and small and the post-op pain management has kept her at ease and safe. I will continue to drive the distance from Rhode Island to remain at Windhover. A truly special place. Read Less

I love this vet!!!These are the most carrying most kind group of professionals I have ever met. Dr. McMillan is so fabulous, knowledgeable and compassionate. Every single person at this veterinary center is amazing. Found them through Google after searching the Foxboro area for vet care for my backyard chicken. I was just so impressed how they cared for her! They were so gentle and  great with her and she was the best behaved little chicken you've ever seen. They followed up every week to check on her progress and after each vet visit. I know they show the same care for all the animals they treat and I cannot recommend them enough. 5 stars is not close to enough for this place. I'm forever grateful for their care and my little chicken, Nugget, is recovering well! Read Less

Several with very complicated medical conditions, epilepsy, unusual allergies, torn ACL, hyperthyroidism, dwarfism ( term it's PC in the animal community). Dr. Mcmillan is very conservative vet, and not at all quick to jump to the use of medications. Her expertise and experience are only rivaled by her kindness. The same holds true of her entire team.

We had an emergency with two of our baby parrotlets, and they needed to see a vet right away. Our normal vet could not take our babies at the time, but he recommended a close-by Avian Certified Vet.. Windhover. At this point it seemed bleak for the two babies, and honestly I would have been OK if the vet did a once over and told me they were goners. They were sick, and baby birds do quickly pass. Instead, the vet went about her business and told me I need to be tube feeding them as she forcibly shoved a small tube down the youngest's throat. Even making a comment about how it was being a "tricky bugger". She pumped it full of water, medicine, and sent me on my way with a bill of $200. I got home and within 2 hours my first baby was dead (the youngest). When I examined her body, I looked in the throat with a flashlight and noticed a big hole had been pierced in the throat walls. Her force with the feeding tube killed my bird. (Don't get me wrong, my birds were very sick and we lost both of them sadly.) I find her unprofessional, uncaring, and a complete ripoff. She didn't even know anything about parrotlets, and tried to tell me I was wrong several times, even though I'm quite knowledgeable with the species. I would not recommend this vet, although I cannot recall her name. I can't speak for every vet, and I cannot speak for how she is with other animals. I would just never let her touch a small animal again, nevertheless a bird! Read Less

I can't begin to express the gratitude I have for the people working at Windhover! I came in so emotional and distraught bringing my sweet dove to be seen with what I now know are 2nd degree burns on her little feet and legs. The whole experience has been traumatic for me let alone my bird, but I was seen right away as an emergency and Dr. McMillan as well as the techs and receptionist were overwhelmingly helpful and compassionate. I have little means to pay for her injury, and not only are they going to help me set up a payment plan, but one of the amazing techs Lena offered to pay the remainder of my bill today. I feel beyond blessed! My dove Noel has a ways to go before she's better but I don't know what I'd done or where I'd be without their help and generosity! I cannot say enough good thing about this hospital. Thank you WindhoverRead Less

What a fabulous resource we have with Windhover Vet Center! I've been taking my pets here for several years and cannot say enough positive comments about the staff and facilities. First: my introduction was several years ago when my dog Scruffy was quite sick and another vet office said aw, its a tummy ache ... I'm not sure How I ended up at Windhover ... but Dr. McMillan diagnosed her and found ... she had a Tumor! OMG she saved my dogs life. Next: my older cat Cuddles became quite sick (lost appetite,etc.) over a weekend I took her to Tufts Emergency who just suggested I "put her down" ... but ran to Windhover when they opened and Dr. Holmes was incredible. She offered her empathy and instructed me on how to offer subcutaneous fluids at home. She worked with me for homeopathic treatments, offered suggestions on feeding - - Cuddles lived another 2 years with a wonderful quality of life. Then: years later I adopted a dog, Chloe, who we found had neurological issues and became ill. Both Dr. Holmes and McMillan took painstaking time to really look into this. Amazingly, we found an answer (from this vet office!) to get Eddies Wheels to assist her walking! She lived another 4 years with a fabulous quality of life. Most recently, I adopted an older kitty, Cargo, that was in quite sad shape. The entire staff was remarkable in their caring and concern. Without Windhover, I could not have nursed this fellow to health. I was told by a cat specialist he had cancer and wouldnt eat. Turns out, Windhover was able to discern he had a tooth abscess. They sent me to a special vet and he was able to live out his senior years with great love and a family. What an incredible office, a caring (sincerely) staff and amazing doctors. I trust them with my family of pets. Ive already sent all my friends there that says it all. Read Less

The vets at Windhover are the best I've encountered in a lifetime of owning dogs. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. In addition to getting the best care, the vets have a gentle and compassionate approach that I wish I could find in human medicine. They have been particularly good with our elderly dogs. I've seen two negative reviews (one here and one on Yelp) that strike me as very odd, because they describe Windhover in a way that seems completely different than any experience I've had there, and I've been using them for many years. The only conclusion I can draw is they are written by competitors who are trying to slander them. It's really a shame to target vets that are as caring and as good as Windhover, when there are so many bad vets in the world. Go after them, not these guys. Read Less

My cat somehow broke her tail so I brought her in this afternoon.  Every single person who works here is really wonderful, just patient and kind and knowledgeable. My cat doesn't have the easiest personality but she always relaxes in here, and the woman who had her dog in the waiting room with me was saying the same thing.  Long story short, Dr Holmes initially thought amputation would be the best option but quickly realized she had feeling in her tail so was able to repair it. Price estimate was $570 to $650 and ended up being $477.  They also gave me a small bag of 'pill pocket' snacks, removed some tartar from her teeth and advised me on the cat's recent weight loss. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Read Less

We have two parrots, and Windhover has been a great place to take them. Both of the vets are avian certified, but we always see Dr. Holmes out of habit. She is amazing handling out birds and so sweet with them. She also has lots of recommendations for dealing with nutritional, social, and behavioral issues that come up with parrots.One of our birds was injured in a fight with the other bird one evening, and they squeezed him in between other appointments, no problem. Dr. Holmes also called the next day to see how he was doing. They have ample parking in the back, open most evenings, and on Saturdays. I wish they could see emergencies off hours, but they only have two vets and that would be pretty hard for them. Read Less

The staff and Dr. McMillan are incredibly understanding, attentive and caring. I have called several times after hours and they have been very helpful. They have also squeezed me in when I had an emergency. I am so appreciative and so thankful to have found Windhover. Read Less

We absolutely love Windhover. The staff is wonderful. When we moved a couple of years back, we had a hard time leaving our vet in Boston because they were top notch, and wonderful with our dog, (a vizsla), Lexi. But when we came across Windhover, we were both relieved and grateful as we knew we had found our veterinary home. The staff is not only knowledgeable, patient and kind, but it's clear how much they truly love the animals- which for us is everything. Our dog is our baby. We know that our Lexi will receive the best possible care and treatment at Windhover and would highly recommend them to friends and family who love their dogs (or pets) the way we love ours.

I have been with Dr. McMillan for over20 years. She has cared for many, many of my family members. Several with very complicated medical conditions, epilepsy, unusual allergies, torn ACL, hyperthyroidism, dwarfism ( term it's PC in the animal community). Dr. Mcmillan is very conservative vet, and not at all quick to jump to the use of medications. Her expertise and experience are only rivaled by her kindness. The same holds true of her entire team. An amazing woman professionally and personally. Read Less

We had an emergency with two of our baby parrotlets, and they needed to see a vet right away. Our normal vet could not take our babies at the time, but he recommended a close-by Avian Certified Vet.. Windhover. At this point it seemed bleak for the two babies, and honestly I would have been OK if the vet did a once over and told me they were goners. They were sick, and baby birds do quickly pass. Instead, the vet went about her business and told me I need to be tube feeding them as she forcibly shoved a small tube down the youngest's throat. Even making a comment about how it was being a "tricky bugger". She pumped it full of water, medicine, and sent me on my way with a bill of $200. I got home and within 2 hours my first baby was dead (the youngest). When I examined her body, I looked in the throat with a flashlight and noticed a big hole had been pierced in the throat walls. Her force with the feeding tube killed my bird. (Don't get me wrong, my birds were very sick and we lost both of them sadly.) I find her unprofessional, uncaring, and a complete ripoff. She didn't even know anything about parrotlets, and tried to tell me I was wrong several times, even though I'm quite knowledgeable with the species. I would not recommend this vet, although I cannot recall her name. I can't speak for every vet, and I cannot speak for how she is with other animals. I would just never let her touch a small animal again, nevertheless a bird! Read Less

I can't begin to express the gratitude I have for the people working at Windhover! I came in so emotional and distraught bringing my sweet dove to be seen with what I now know are 2nd degree burns on her little feet and legs. The whole experience has been traumatic for me let alone my bird, but I was seen right away as an emergency and Dr. McMillan as well as the techs and receptionist were overwhelmingly helpful and compassionate. I have little means to pay for her injury, and not only are they going to help me set up a payment plan, but one of the amazing techs Lena offered to pay the remainder of my bill today. I feel beyond blessed! My dove Noel has a ways to go before she's better but I don't know what I'd done or where I'd be without their help and generosity! I cannot say enough good thing about this hospital. Thank you WindhoverRead Less

What a fabulous resource we have with Windhover Vet Center! I've been taking my pets here for several years and cannot say enough positive comments about the staff and facilities. First: my introduction was several years ago when my dog Scruffy was quite sick and another vet office said aw, its a tummy ache ... I'm not sure How I ended up at Windhover ... but Dr. McMillan diagnosed her and found ... she had a Tumor! OMG she saved my dogs life. Next: my older cat Cuddles became quite sick (lost appetite,etc.) over a weekend I took her to Tufts Emergency who just suggested I "put her down" ... but ran to Windhover when they opened and Dr. Holmes was incredible. She offered her empathy and instructed me on how to offer subcutaneous fluids at home. She worked with me for homeopathic treatments, offered suggestions on feeding - - Cuddles lived another 2 years with a wonderful quality of life. Then: years later I adopted a dog, Chloe, who we found had neurological issues and became ill. Both Dr. Holmes and McMillan took painstaking time to really look into this. Amazingly, we found an answer (from this vet office!) to get Eddies Wheels to assist her walking! She lived another 4 years with a fabulous quality of life. Most recently, I adopted an older kitty, Cargo, that was in quite sad shape. The entire staff was remarkable in their caring and concern. Without Windhover, I could not have nursed this fellow to health. I was told by a cat specialist he had cancer and wouldnt eat. Turns out, Windhover was able to discern he had a tooth abscess. They sent me to a special vet and he was able to live out his senior years with great love and a family. What an incredible office, a caring (sincerely) staff and amazing doctors. I trust them with my family of pets. Ive already sent all my friends there that says it all. Read Less

The vets at Windhover are the best I've encountered in a lifetime of owning dogs. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. In addition to getting the best care, the vets have a gentle and compassionate approach that I wish I could find in human medicine. They have been particularly good with our elderly dogs. I've seen two negative reviews (one here and one on Yelp) that strike me as very odd, because they describe Windhover in a way that seems completely different than any experience I've had there, and I've been using them for many years. The only conclusion I can draw is they are written by competitors who are trying to slander them. It's really a shame to target vets that are as caring and as good as Windhover, when there are so many bad vets in the world. Go after them, not these guys. Read Less

My cat somehow broke her tail so I brought her in this afternoon.  Every single person who works here is really wonderful, just patient and kind and knowledgeable. My cat doesn't have the easiest personality but she always relaxes in here, and the woman who had her dog in the waiting room with me was saying the same thing.  Long story short, Dr Holmes initially thought amputation would be the best option but quickly realized she had feeling in her tail so was able to repair it. Price estimate was $570 to $650 and ended up being $477.  They also gave me a small bag of 'pill pocket' snacks, removed some tartar from her teeth and advised me on the cat's recent weight loss. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Read Less

We have two parrots, and Windhover has been a great place to take them. Both of the vets are avian certified, but we always see Dr. Holmes out of habit. She is amazing handling out birds and so sweet with them. She also has lots of recommendations for dealing with nutritional, social, and behavioral issues that come up with parrots.One of our birds was injured in a fight with the other bird one evening, and they squeezed him in between other appointments, no problem. Dr. Holmes also called the next day to see how he was doing. They have ample parking in the back, open most evenings, and on Saturdays. I wish they could see emergencies off hours, but they only have two vets and that would be pretty hard for them. Read Less
