We receive great care for our animals here. Our vet is Dr. Emily. She very warm plus extremely knowledgeable. She has our complete trust which has been important as we've used their surgery services twice in just the last 8 months. Office staff is very kind and competent. We use the Techs even for nail clipping because they are the best of any grooming service we've used. They all love animals which is obvious. We've had no negative situations with this clinic and we've been using them for around 10 years. Read Less

Fantastic clinic with friendly and honest staff. I've seen several vets (& techs) here and have never had a bad experience. Dr. Emily has been wonderful for us. My dog is overcoming fear-reactivity with strangers, so unfortunately he is not exactly well-behaved at the vet. That said, she is SO patient with him and willing to take additional steps to make him more comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough and trust them entirely. Thank you!!! Read Less

Honest people. The vets are very nice and willing to talk not feeling rushed. I came home from Korea in 1994 for leave and on the day I got home had to put down my Golden Retriever. Just put down my German Shepherd today and it was a nice quick peaceful passing for her. My German Shepherd had anal Fistula and a low thyroid. She fought it for two years. I was concerned with the pain she was having. The veterinarians helped her she get better and then Anal Fistula got worse again. Its incurable and am happy I got a few more years with Sandy my German Shepherd. I still have my Black Labrador and my girls cat going here. A compassionate clinic. Read Less

South Shore Vet Clinic has been the best clinic I have ever been to. I have recently moved out to Colorado and have seriously considered bringing my dogs home just so I can take them to Dr. Dave. They are also the MOST reasonably priced vet out there. Trust me, I am on my second vet in Colorado and they are absolute outrageous in comparison to South Shore. My dogs love Dr. Dave and he is extremely knowledgeable. However if he doesn't know the answer he will either find it out, or suggest a specialist. My one dog has a epilepsy and he was absolutely amazing though the whole thing, and when we came to a point in time where he didn't have anymore answers he suggested an amazing neurologist. I am so sad to not be able to take my dogs there anymore. I wish he would open an office in Colorado. Read Less
