This place may have the least customer oriented staff that I have seen in years. After arriving on time for our appointment we were put in an examination rom to wait for the doctor. 1 hour later I went out to see what was happening. The only explanation was "we are running a little behind." No apologies. No explanation of an emergency or anything that might make it understandable. After an hour and 20 minutes we walked out and said we were leaving. They only asked if we wanted to reschedule. No apology or explanation. Zero chance that I will EVER reschedule with them! And they did not care a bit that we left upset. They just don't care!I hope the vet who referred me to them won't inflict that on anyone else.

My Gracie (14yo feline) was one year post radiation from Angel in Boston when her nasal tumor tripled in size in just a few months. After a HORRIBLE experienc at Angel I was desperate to bring Gracie's care back to NH. As you know its improssible to find a "radiation" oncologist anywhere in the state. First off this website is FRAUDULENT! they do NOT offer radiation as the website promises & the Dr they did have has been gone for ages. As a pet parent desperate for help I was so relieved to find this place during my research. I called on 9/13/18 & had med records faxed to Dr Kim Johson/Oncologist who I was told would review them and call me either by end of day or the following day to let me know if she thinks she can help Gracie w/chemo. NO CALL. I called the next day 9/14 & was put on hold, per reception the oncology team told her they are a little behind but are reviewing her case and would call me by the end of that day. Here I am ONE WEEK LATER on 9/20 and NO phone call! NO ONE EVER CALLED BACK. You would think these Drs would realize how devastating that is, as a parent to be desperatly searching for help only to be misled and ignored. I would NEVER use this place even as a last resort. Shame on Dr Johnson you are heartless! and I was sure to tell all of Gracies other Drs in referring hospitals about this and warned them about referring any patients to this place. After reading all of these reviewes its probably a blessing in disguise. If you want an AMAZING, warm, caring Oncologist visit Dr Kow at Port City Vet Hosp in Portsmouth NH. I, nor can anyone I know who's ever interacted with him, cannot say enough good things, he's like visiting a friend whenever you see or talk to him. He will actually look for ways and work with staff to help you afford the care needed. That entire hospital is amazing.

Don't go here if you don't want to get ripped off. Glen lake referred my daughter there and $140 later they told her the same exact thing glen lake did. So far she has spent hundreds and has gotten no where and the cat is still not better. These people actually referred her back to Glen lake because it would be cheaper . What a joke!! I guess these people don't care about your pet but they love your money. It's disgusting!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the care my pups got from here. One of my girls have extensive medical issues so she saw more than one specialist there. The doctors fully explain in detail so you understand what's happening and with me being under stress from the news they were so good having to repeat themselves so I could understand. They take their time with you and your pup, no rushing you through. At the end of the appointment they'll give you a packet explaining everything again. I also went to them to have my other girl put to sleep and they're incredibly sensitive to our feelings. They have a special room for you to say goodbye to your pet. Couches, tissues and a call button for when you're ready at your convenience. They didn't even rush us out afterwards, they are all so kind there for whatever your needs may be. They also have the credentials that we should be looking for for quality care.

Our 12 yr old Oriental kitty became very ill very suddenly and we could not reach our homecare vet so we brought her here. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who immediately placed us in a quiet exam room to help keep kitty and us be more comfortable while waiting on the vet. Amanda, the Vet Tech, was professional and gentle while handling our kitty. Dr. Crowley gave us enough information as to what may have been going on with our cat so that we were able to make an informed, yet heart-wrenching, decision that it was time to let her go. I was able to hold her close while the drugs were administered and she quickly slipped away. Their compassion for us and our pet was heartfelt and so gratefully appreciated at such a sad and difficult time.

First, I will say that the vet and the vet tech that worked with us gave my dog excellent care when he went in for a procedure recently. However, the follow-through as we waited for test results and a plan for treating him was ABYSMAL. I was on the phone with them a lot over the course of nine days, and was told, “we don’t have the test results. We’ll call in two days.” No phone call - we had to call them. When we did and I had questions: “those are great questions. I’ll get answers and call you back tomorrow.” It’s four days later and there was no phone call. Then, “we have the test results, but we don’t have a course of treatment yet - the lab is testing cultures and we should know soon. We’ll call in two days.” We waited three with still no phone call and a suffering dog. We had to get our regular vet involved after nine days of no results when we were supposed to have them after three days. The kicker? Our vet got all of the results and gave us a course of treatment all within two hours, and SNH had the report for several days outlining an appropriate course of treatment while we were waiting and calling and being lied to by them. If our dog ever needs a specialist again, we will definitely be going somewhere else.

In 2013 I brought my 17-year-old three-legged cat in because he was having seizures. Walking backwards and yowling. Three weeks earlier I brought him in when the symptoms started to a different vet in Nashua. I asked him about my cat's distended belly, as I've asked many vets before. I was told the same thing I'd been told before. " If he can clear his own bladder he should be fine."
Apparently that was incorrect. The woman at this clinic after looking at my cat for 10 minutes literally told me I was "a horrible owner" and that my cat had been neglected and for it he'd need put down. I cared for that cat dearly and he was well loved in fact his little ash box is sitting on my desk with his collars wrapped around it. I spent more money on that cat in 16 years that I had on anything in my entire life. At only a year he got out and was hit by a car. The choice was made to leave his limp useless fourth arm attached. We'd been through thick and thin and like 8 apartments.
She said his bladder was so distended that even without the brain tumors that killed him he would likely have died of kidney failure in the future. I did not come to this clinic for an appraisal of my character and snap judgement. I came as a balling mess with the cat that I had loved and cared for since the age of ten. FOR HELP.
She gave him a shot and he went limp. She took him and said to see the woman at the desk about paying the bill.
If that woman still works there this place is not worth your time. You and your pet deserve better I'm sure. It was hard to write this without profanity.

I brought my dog here because she had symptoms of brain cancer (which is what turned out to be a correct diagnosis). The staff and vet were wonderful. I wasn't willing to pay for an MRI to diagnose something that was not curable, and although they suggested having it done, it was not a hard sell at all. We all need to be advocates for our own (and our dogs) health care and treatment options. I highly recommend them, and I also think it's incumbent on us to research diagnostic and treatment options and make the best decisions for our pets.

We were referred to SNHVH (Dr Montgomery) due to my dogs glaucoma. Dr Montgomery and the technicians always clearly explained everything and answered all of my questions. We eventually had to make the decision to remove our dogs eye. As nervous as we were the staff made us feel at ease. We were updated throughout our dog Sophie's stay at the hospital. I would highly recommend SNHVH.

I brought my dog here because our primary vet was unable to diagnose our dog and recommended going to a specialist. Our dog was extremely sick. While the vet here was kind to the dog and I, she would not listen to me at all - her only focus was that the dog had a fever and would not pay attention to any of the other symptoms. She had a list of tests that she wanted me to do on the dog, more than half of them had nothing to do with what symptoms the dog was exhibiting (because the vet refused to listen to them and told me that those had nothing to do with it). We did run a few tests because I was desperate to find an answer, with them all coming back normal (mostly because she was looking for something that had nothing to do with her symptoms and wouldn't let me tell her about the symptoms). By the time I left the office, they had taken $1200 from us and gave us zero answers and no plan as to what to do next. Within the next week we had to decide whether to put our dog down or go to another specialist. We were reluctant to go somewhere else because of this horrible experience but so glad we chose to try one more place. We ended up going to Angell in Boston - they were fabulous and diagnosed our dog within 30 minutes (pending the results of the tests, which ended up confirming his diagnosis). We almost lost our dog due to the incompetence on Southern NH Veterinary Hospital. I HIGHLY recommend you choose Angell in Boston over this place (and as a side note, Angell is considerably less expensive).

Absolutely the most horrible experience with any doctor (animal or human) here with my dog. Luckily, I had the means to bring my dog to Angell in Boston the following week and they saved my dog. If we had only gone to Southern NH, we would've had to put our dog down. HIGHLY encourage you to bring your dog to Angell rather than this place, they are surprisingly less expensive at Angell too!

Absolutely the best! Dr. Sean Kennedy repaired our dog Penelope's knee in March of 2016. She had to have an extensive tplo and a wedge taken out of her shin to correct damage from malnutrition. As a rescue dog who is very scared and shy of most everyone, she loved Dr. Kennedy. He did an amazing job and was very patient with us explaining each step of the procedure and aftercare. He personally called us the day of, the day after, and 8 weeks later to verify Penelope was doing well. He is an incredible surgeon. So when Penelope tore her other knee in August 2016 without hesitation we went back to Dr. Kennedy. We wouldn't trust our babies to anyone else. If u want someone who is not only the best at what he does but truly cares about your animals as much as you do than you can really only go to one place Southern New Hampshire Referral Hospital

We wanted to thank the Southern New Hampshire Veterinary Referral Hospital for taking care of our pup Chester when he needed knee surgery. We had such a great experience with Dr. Sean Kennedy, we would recommend him in a heartbeat. Chester is our first dog that we adopted and I was very upset when we had to leave him overnight, the vet techs were very nice to me, reassuring me that they would take good care of him. Dr. Kennedy called us after surgery was done to let us know how it went and how Chester was doing. The next day we met with Dr. Kennedy where he went over all of the information we needed and let us ask him anything about recovery. I had a question/concern a few days later and called, the receptionist got a hold of him because he was not working at this time and he called me back. He cares so much about the animals he helps that he actually called me back on his own time! I don't know how many people can say this! I am so thankful for Dr. Kennedy's expertise and the way he handles his patients and talking with us throughout this whole process (consultation, surgery, check-up, not to mention phone calls in between). We followed Dr. Kennedy's recovery plan and Chester is now back to running! You wouldn't even know he had a TPLO! Sorry this is so long, I have nothing but good words for Dr. Kennedy and the SNHVRH! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chester! :)

My dog came in for emergency care overnight to see the doctor first thing am and was not worked on until 24 hours later. Instead of working on my dog which I prepaid she worked on paying customers all day and then had the nerve to tell me he was a big dog and a inconvenience. Watch your wallet also.

I called on 9/13/18 & had med records faxed to Dr Kim Johson/Oncologist who I was told would review them and call me either by end of day or the following day to let me know if she thinks she can help Gracie w/chemo. NO CALL. I called the next day 9/14 & was put on hold, per reception the oncology team told her they are a little behind but are reviewing her case and would call me by the end of that day. Here I am ONE WEEK LATER on 9/20 and NO phone call! NO ONE EVER CALLED BACK. You would think these Drs would realize how devastating that is, as a parent to be desperatly searching for help only to be misled and ignored. I would NEVER use this place even as a last resort. Shame on Dr Johnson you are heartless! and I was sure to tell all of Gracies other Drs in referring hospitals about this and warned them about referring any patients to this place. After reading all of these reviewes its probably a blessing in disguise. If you want an AMAZING, warm, caring Oncologist visit Dr Kow at Port City Vet Hosp in Portsmouth NH. I, nor can anyone I know who's ever interacted with him, cannot say enough good things, he's like visiting a friend whenever you see or talk to him. He will actually look for ways and work with staff to help you afford the care needed. That entire hospital is amazing.

Don't go here if you don't want to get ripped off. Glen lake referred my daughter there and $140 later they told her the same exact thing glen lake did. So far she has spent hundreds and has gotten no where and the cat is still not better. These people actually referred her back to Glen lake because it would be cheaper . What a joke!! I guess these people don't care about your pet but they love your money. It's disgusting!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the care my pups got from here. One of my girls have extensive medical issues so she saw more than one specialist there. The doctors fully explain in detail so you understand what's happening and with me being under stress from the news they were so good having to repeat themselves so I could understand. They take their time with you and your pup, no rushing you through. At the end of the appointment they'll give you a packet explaining everything again. I also went to them to have my other girl put to sleep and they're incredibly sensitive to our feelings. They have a special room for you to say goodbye to your pet. Couches, tissues and a call button for when you're ready at your convenience. They didn't even rush us out afterwards, they are all so kind there for whatever your needs may be. They also have the credentials that we should be looking for for quality care.

Our 12 yr old Oriental kitty became very ill very suddenly and we could not reach our homecare vet so we brought her here. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who immediately placed us in a quiet exam room to help keep kitty and us be more comfortable while waiting on the vet. Amanda, the Vet Tech, was professional and gentle while handling our kitty. Dr. Crowley gave us enough information as to what may have been going on with our cat so that we were able to make an informed, yet heart-wrenching, decision that it was time to let her go. I was able to hold her close while the drugs were administered and she quickly slipped away. Their compassion for us and our pet was heartfelt and so gratefully appreciated at such a sad and difficult time.

absolute scumbags!!!!!!!!! spend your money if you want to. but i can guarantee when you really need them for your dying pet they wont see them. period. they will tell you to surrender your pet you raised. they are disgusting and quite frankly anyone who brings their pet to them is asking for the worst. money hungry losers who have no interest in the animals welfare. dont do payment plans to save lives. they dont take surrenders to save lives. they call you irresponsible. they arent a vet they are scumbags. losers. pigs.

First, I will say that the vet and the vet tech that worked with us gave my dog excellent care when he went in for a procedure recently. However, the follow-through as we waited for test results and a plan for treating him was ABYSMAL. I was on the phone with them a lot over the course of nine days, and was told, “we don’t have the test results. We’ll call in two days.” No phone call - we had to call them. When we did and I had questions: “those are great questions. I’ll get answers and call you back tomorrow.” It’s four days later and there was no phone call. Then, “we have the test results, but we don’t have a course of treatment yet - the lab is testing cultures and we should know soon. We’ll call in two days.” We waited three with still no phone call and a suffering dog. We had to get our regular vet involved after nine days of no results when we were supposed to have them after three days. The kicker? Our vet got all of the results and gave us a course of treatment all within two hours, and SNH had the report for several days outlining an appropriate course of treatment while we were waiting and calling and being lied to by them. If our dog ever needs a specialist again, we will definitely be going somewhere else.

Absolutely fantastic care for my dog and myself Everything was explained, options of level of care according to my wishes and finances, expected time frames, outcomes, and post-operative care. Dr. Heather Jones is a genius with people, animals, and professionally. All staff were extremely kind, considerate, and caring with my dog and with me. My puppy's care was followed up with several telephone calls with culture results and inquiries regarding the patient's progress.The facility is clean, comfortable, with snacks and beverages provided for their clients.

In 2013 I brought my 17-year-old three-legged cat in because he was having seizures. Walking backwards and yowling. Three weeks earlier I brought him in when the symptoms started to a different vet in Nashua. I asked him about my cat's distended belly, as I've asked many vets before. I was told the same thing I'd been told before. " If he can clear his own bladder he should be fine."
Apparently that was incorrect. The woman at this clinic after looking at my cat for 10 minutes literally told me I was "a horrible owner" and that my cat had been neglected and for it he'd need put down. I cared for that cat dearly and he was well loved in fact his little ash box is sitting on my desk with his collars wrapped around it. I spent more money on that cat in 16 years that I had on anything in my entire life. At only a year he got out and was hit by a car. The choice was made to leave his limp useless fourth arm attached. We'd been through thick and thin and like 8 apartments.
She said his bladder was so distended that even without the brain tumors that killed him he would likely have died of kidney failure in the future. I did not come to this clinic for an appraisal of my character and snap judgement. I came as a balling mess with the cat that I had loved and cared for since the age of ten. FOR HELP.
She gave him a shot and he went limp. She took him and said to see the woman at the desk about paying the bill.
If that woman still works there this place is not worth your time. You and your pet deserve better I'm sure. It was hard to write this without profanity.

I brought my dog here because she had symptoms of brain cancer (which is what turned out to be a correct diagnosis). The staff and vet were wonderful. I wasn't willing to pay for an MRI to diagnose something that was not curable, and although they suggested having it done, it was not a hard sell at all. We all need to be advocates for our own (and our dogs) health care and treatment options. I highly recommend them, and I also think it's incumbent on us to research diagnostic and treatment options and make the best decisions for our pets.

We were referred to SNHVH (Dr Montgomery) due to my dogs glaucoma. Dr Montgomery and the technicians always clearly explained everything and answered all of my questions. We eventually had to make the decision to remove our dogs eye. As nervous as we were the staff made us feel at ease. We were updated throughout our dog Sophie's stay at the hospital. I would highly recommend SNHVH.

I brought my dog here because our primary vet was unable to diagnose our dog and recommended going to a specialist. Our dog was extremely sick. While the vet here was kind to the dog and I, she would not listen to me at all - her only focus was that the dog had a fever and would not pay attention to any of the other symptoms. She had a list of tests that she wanted me to do on the dog, more than half of them had nothing to do with what symptoms the dog was exhibiting (because the vet refused to listen to them and told me that those had nothing to do with it). We did run a few tests because I was desperate to find an answer, with them all coming back normal (mostly because she was looking for something that had nothing to do with her symptoms and wouldn't let me tell her about the symptoms). By the time I left the office, they had taken $1200 from us and gave us zero answers and no plan as to what to do next. Within the next week we had to decide whether to put our dog down or go to another specialist. We were reluctant to go somewhere else because of this horrible experience but so glad we chose to try one more place. We ended up going to Angell in Boston - they were fabulous and diagnosed our dog within 30 minutes (pending the results of the tests, which ended up confirming his diagnosis). We almost lost our dog due to the incompetence on Southern NH Veterinary Hospital. I HIGHLY recommend you choose Angell in Boston over this place (and as a side note, Angell is considerably less expensive).

Absolutely the most horrible experience with any doctor (animal or human) here with my dog. Luckily, I had the means to bring my dog to Angell in Boston the following week and they saved my dog. If we had only gone to Southern NH, we would've had to put our dog down. HIGHLY encourage you to bring your dog to Angell rather than this place, they are surprisingly less expensive at Angell too!

Absolutely the best! Dr. Sean Kennedy repaired our dog Penelope's knee in March of 2016. She had to have an extensive tplo and a wedge taken out of her shin to correct damage from malnutrition. As a rescue dog who is very scared and shy of most everyone, she loved Dr. Kennedy. He did an amazing job and was very patient with us explaining each step of the procedure and aftercare. He personally called us the day of, the day after, and 8 weeks later to verify Penelope was doing well. He is an incredible surgeon. So when Penelope tore her other knee in August 2016 without hesitation we went back to Dr. Kennedy. We wouldn't trust our babies to anyone else. If u want someone who is not only the best at what he does but truly cares about your animals as much as you do than you can really only go to one place Southern New Hampshire Referral Hospital

We wanted to thank the Southern New Hampshire Veterinary Referral Hospital for taking care of our pup Chester when he needed knee surgery. We had such a great experience with Dr. Sean Kennedy, we would recommend him in a heartbeat. Chester is our first dog that we adopted and I was very upset when we had to leave him overnight, the vet techs were very nice to me, reassuring me that they would take good care of him. Dr. Kennedy called us after surgery was done to let us know how it went and how Chester was doing. The next day we met with Dr. Kennedy where he went over all of the information we needed and let us ask him anything about recovery. I had a question/concern a few days later and called, the receptionist got a hold of him because he was not working at this time and he called me back. He cares so much about the animals he helps that he actually called me back on his own time! I don't know how many people can say this! I am so thankful for Dr. Kennedy's expertise and the way he handles his patients and talking with us throughout this whole process (consultation, surgery, check-up, not to mention phone calls in between). We followed Dr. Kennedy's recovery plan and Chester is now back to running! You wouldn't even know he had a TPLO! Sorry this is so long, I have nothing but good words for Dr. Kennedy and the SNHVRH! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chester! :)

Stay Away from VECC in Portsmouth This has to be the worst experience I have ever encountered with the cardiologist here. My dog came in for emergency care overnight to see the doctor first thing am and was not worked on until 24 hours later. Instead of working on my dog which I prepaid she worked on paying customers all day and then had the nerve to tell me he was a big dog and a inconvenience. Watch your wallet also. This is just the start of my story and there will be more to come.

Too much turnover for me. I went to go back for a three week follow up with the surgeon Dr. Massat and he was gone. Receptionists refused to tell me where he went as they wanted me to start over with their new surgeon. Went to go back for followup with the same dog's neurologist and she was also gone. I tracked down Dr. Massat and drove the extra 25 minutes to follow up with him as I was seeing him because of his surgical expertise! I also tracked down the neurologist Dr Kube and have driven from Moultonborough, NH to Walpole, MA twice now to follow up with her because she and the facility she opened is the absolute best!

We returned to SNHVH after after our vet referred us here. We saw Dr Jeff Vogal, Dermatology and he and his staff are fantastic. After some onsite scraping and tests, we had a diagnosis and a plan for treatment. I will agree with other Yelpers, that this place is very pricy, but it is worth it and it is hopefully a one visit only place for us.

My dog was paralyzed suddenly...........the Dr, Little in Newington called Dr. Farabaugh Neurologist who agreed to stay after his 4 pm end of day to wait for my Peke named Buddy. I was away and my great pet sitter brought Bud to Dr.Farabaugh. He called in his team of techs, Amanda and Rene and they did spinal surgery on my dog until 11:30 that night. I flew in to Manchester by 2 am and they let me come and sit with my boy for awhile. I stayed accross the street and saw Dr. Farabaugh the next am early. Buddy was able to stand and Dr. Farabaugh was incredably attentive to all my questions and Amanda and Rene stayed with me until I knew everything I needed to know. My dog eats a home cooked meal due to allergies and they actually cooked his Pollack for him and took the best care of him I could ever hope for. They took care of me and they took care of him. I got scared as Buddy had pain a few days later and they the team was waiting for me when I got there. I have never experienced such incredible customer service! He made sure he did not use the sutures that Bud was allergic to.............my boy is doing great and I am a happy human. NOTHING was missing and NOTHING could have been better!

I can't begin to say enough good things about my experience with VECC. Our beloved Maggie, yellow lab/aussie cross was so sick. Our primary vet didn't know what was wrong with her. I contacted Dr. Lee Garrod and told her of Maggie's situation. From that moment forward Dr. Garrod had me bring Maggie in the emergency room. All the staff was so professional and kind. All the vets were WONDERFUL! I thought for sure Maggie was going to have to be put down. But with there expert diagnosis, Maggie needed her Gall Bladder removed. They told me she would be fine after the surgery.THEY WERE CORRECT! Because of Dr. Lee Garrod our Maggie is fine and able to go on our daily hour walks and play with her fellow pack mates.
