East Boston Animal Hospital

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr Sawyers and his entire staff at EBAH. We've been to them for regular check ups as well as emergencies. They've always been kind, informative and generally concerned for our cats. The most recent visit brought us in with our cat Rico who had developed some coughing and wheezing. I called in the morning to make a visit and they offered a time in the afternoon (and earlier if it seemed like an emergency). My husband took Rico in that afternoon. Dr Sawyers took one look in Rico's mouth and snapped into action so quickly my husband was amazed. It turns out my darling cat (who likes to eat anything and everything) had tried to eat a threaded needle which had lodged in his throat. Dr Sawyers removed the needle that minute under anesthesia (I am so grateful that EBAH has an OR right at their facility). My husband called and told me what had happened after it was obvious that Rico was safe. It didn't even occur to me to ask what the visit had cost. I was just so happy to know Rico was safe. When I got home that night I asked the cost of the visit (fearing it would be crazy knowing anesthesia was used). It was so reasonable I had to ask my husband to repeat himself. I'm really surprised to hear people say EBAH is after people's money. I suspect they may have an unrealistic idea of what a visit should cost. Either way, I'm so very happy with the level of care and the cost. We're so lucky to have found them. more

I have been going to the East Boston Animal Hospital for years. The staff is always pleasant. Other animal hospitals that I have been to seem to be annoyed with my presence... not like that here. Dr. Sawyers is very direct, and I appreciate that quality. When my cat was sick I felt very secure with the care that was being given. I will continue to use their services and will continue to recommend this hospital to my friends and family. more

I have been using the East Boston Animal Hospital for several years and I have received nothing but kind attentive service. The staff answers my questions and helps me when I need it. more

I brought my new puppies there and the staff was very helpful answered all my annoying new puppy owner questions. I loved the place I really felt like they cared about me and my puppies. I thought Dr Sawyers was great with them. I would recomend this Clinic to everyone! more

i took my cat to this hospital in an emergency situation because it was the closest vet that had an emergency appointment available. the staff was incredibly rude on the phone--i got lost on my way and was having a panic attack because my cat was near death, and the receptionist/vet tech actually said: well, we close at five. ""we close at five""?! my child was about to die, and she didnt even offer to give me directions! Pros: DOC SAWYERS Cons: vet techs more

I'm not even going to mention the fact that this man offers pet CLONING. Oops, too late. But even besides that atrocity against nature, this is still just a terrible, terrible place. The staff is really cold and uncaring. I just get the feeling that they try to extort all the money they can out of every single person who walks through their doors. Pros: New Building? Cons: No parking! Extremely high prices. Cold, sometimes even rude staff. Plain creep doctor. CLONING! more
