Best

I came here because my dog was sick with cancer. Dr. Fitzpatrick performed superior treatment. I have been to other Oncologists a few years ago at another hospital and they weren'...

Worst

But the worst. Their business model to extract every $ from you is only exceeded by their incompetence.

Went there with my dog and they wanted me to take out a credit card for my dog and that it would cost several thousand dollars +++, .My dog I found out afterward had a hematoma in her mouth From else where and another person came in and told me a few thousand +++extra more exspense But said different story to me and we could poss, save her ,that she had a immune disease and would die She was weak from losing bood and we ended up putting our Baby down. I heard to late from another friend in which they milked her heavy and she said I was lucky to out what I was charged But at a heavy cost of my Baby life, They don't care about animals only what they can charge and get from you ,They start attacking with High number figures . They are nothing but LIARS !If your pet needs help go else where. They should be ashame and Remember Karma bites back. more

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! I doubted if their doctors are real. They mis-diagnosed my cat with bladder stone, and asked for up to $30,000 of surgical fee. We asked for alternative precedure, they used catheter, but did it wrong (catheter removed right after bladder emptied without attached for 2 days), and perscribed a medicine that should be avoid for animals with kidney function problem (my cat had 10 times kidney level than normal). All they care is money and the way to avoid lawsuit and liability with the paper they made people sign. I don't understand why almost all negitive posts on Yelps were filtered, since we were misleaded by those positive posts. Save yourself from aggravation, send your pet to MSPCA Angell instead! Gladly we did after leaving VCA, and received right information from right doctors with right procedures and fair costs. Do save yourself and your love ones, don't go to VCA Weymouth! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/6/2013

Today Veterinary medicine is a money oriented business where services command prices as high as a human physician but without nearly the malpractice costs and further....exploiting the animal/human bond. I took my sick pet here where I've been a client for 20 years. While my pet was being X-rayed the Dr. said ""are you going to wait or go on an errand or..."" I said ""possibly"", she immediately put a form down in front of me and said ""You need to leave a 65% deposit if you leave the building"" I was very insulted and asked ""why"" she said it was done with all the clients. These people start 'collections' before the services are even rendered! I had this pet in 6 months earlier and spent $500, but that's 50 cents in veterinary dollars. I went to the reception area and asked waiting pet owners if they were informed of this and to their dismay they all said a resounding ""No"". After what Dr. Johnson did to me she might as well have 'one'.. more

This place is AWFUL...Every doctor and tech is just AWFUL with their communication skills..but are great asking you for money. \r \r Two examples:\r Cat 1 :\r Going to pay $500 to have my cat's teeth clean..I called the office to see what time the vet would be in to make an appt. I was told 2pm..I call back at 2pm and guess what, the Vet is now out for the next 3 weeks..to call back then. Good thing my cat wasn't dying. Left a message for the vet to call back when they return to make an appt...never heard back.\r \r Cat 2 : After paying over $800 for blood work, scan, etc, etc. we were going to move forward with a biopsy and the Vet said he call the next day to set up an appt. After NOT hearing from the Vet, I called many times to ask when I could make the appt...never received a reply. 2 WHOLE weeks later, I get a reply from the vet that someone will call to make the appt with me...3 days later, no call. I just took my cat someplace else where they actually 'value your time' and will call you back. \r \r So in short..They never follow up with phone calls because they don't know how to use a phone or listen to voice mail?!?!?! Sorry if I am paying over $1000 for one cat and $600 for another cat, I want you to reply to my damn phone calls. DON'T GO HERE! more

Great Hospital! 4/26/2012

I came here because my dog was sick with cancer. Dr. Fitzpatrick performed superior treatment. I have been to other Oncologists a few years ago at another hospital and they weren't as thorough, knowledgeable or compassionate. I found out that VCA South Shore added a new Oncologist over a year ago. I am glad that I saw Dr. Fitzpatrick. He was worth the money & the drive especially since the economy is so bad. He truly cared about my dog and knew what he was doing! Dr. Fitzpatrick espouses professionalism, superior knowledge and an excellent bedside manner (which is unusual for doctors). I can't thank him enough!!! I have told my friends and colleagues about this doctor. I just got a puppy and will go back to VCA South Shore Animal Hospital because of my positive experience with this doctor. I hate to leave the old hospital that I was going to for over 20 years but they we not nearly as nice, caring and knowledgeable as Dr. Fitzpatrick. Thank you for such wonderful care! more

Don't EVER bring your pet here! 12/19/2010

Don't ever bring your pet here unless you are willing to sign over your first born as a ""promissory"". My dog was seen by the VCA after he was tagged by a car. No broken bones or any cuts/scrapes. The bill was outrageous and we didn't have the money to pay for it. The person at the desk actually asked my husband if he could call anyone to ask to borrow money or their credit card. Who does that? Then, they removed the charge for the pain meds and didn't send him home with any meds either!! Yeah, they put the animals first? BS they put their greedy pockets first. Lastly, they made my husband sign a promissory note that he would pay the amount not covered by THEIR credit card. Are you kidding me? \r DO NOT bring your pets here unless you have money to put up front because that is all they care about. more

Stay away from VCA Weymouth at all costs!!! 7/7/2010

THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF; THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS IS GETTING AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FROM YOU WHILE YOU'RE AT YOUR MOST VULNERABLE. I spent $2,000 on tests and didn't even get a diagnosis-they just wanted to do more tests (an get more money of course!) My dog presented with classic symptoms of FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism) which is fairly common and they didn't even mention it as a possibility! Now I know, of course, that FCE animals almost recover on their own which means NO MORE MONEY FOR THIS EXTREMELY UNETHICAL VETERINARY PRACTICE. Cons: Unethical is an understatement more
