VCA Simmons Animal Hospital

I was informed that my dog has a mass on his tongue. I felt guilty for not noticing it but the doctor was so kind and explained that it wasnt my fault. She was genuinely caring when I got upset and helped me process the information. She was wonderful. But then again, I have NEVER had a negative experience at Simmons. You people are beyond fantastic. I can't say enough or give enough praise. Thank you thank you thank you...

Loved the place went away and i didnt have to worry about the dogs they were so happy and exhausted when they got home and the smelled lovely w/ their bandanas! I give it 5 stars!!

I put her in day care to see how she would do she must have had a good time because she slept the whole day. We are thinking of putting her in for boarding and we are very impressed with the whole set up and fell relieved to put her there she is very special and will not leave her with just anyone.

Over the years I have brought my dogs to Simmons for various " after-hours emergencies" with my dogs. I was always treated well and my dogs were treated with such good care. It was one week ago tonight, that my dog Peanut came to the end of her life. She was a tiny, 4 lb, Pomeranian who was way bigger in spirit and love. She was always by my side, always there, she was my best friend and comforted me through the ups and downs of life. I could tell she just couldn't go on, she was struggling, so it was up to me to comfort and love my dog and say goodbye. I called Simmons on Saturday and spoke to the Vet. She calmly explained my options and comforted me. I sat with my dog and realized that I had to be strong for her. I called Simmons and they said they would be waiting. It was 10pm when I carried Peanut into the vet. They were so kind and compassionate. Dr.Seheult came and sat with me and explained everything clearly and with such empathy and kindness. Everything to the way the room was set up for this gave me a feeling that they understood how much this dog meant to me and they treated her with such gentleness and care. A few days later a package came in the mail- from Simmons Veterinary Hosptial. I opened the package and was breathless at first. They had sent me a card- with hand- written message, signed by numerous staff, there was a book- Good-Bye My Friend, about grieving the loss of your pet. But the most precious thing was a very Carefully wrapped little white heart with Peanuts' paw print! I sat in my car and cried. But beyond that, who does things like that? Who takes the time, makes the effort to make you feel cared about. To show such grace and kindness is beyond what you usually encounter these days. I think that Simmons Veterinary Hospital is place that truly cares for the physical needs of the animal and the spiritual relationship that a dog or cat or whatever have with their "FAMIlY". I will never forget your kindness, thank you. Kathy Sweeney

My pet, Mikey, is now in Florida permanently and part of that decision was due to Mikey's care at Simmons. We will leave him at Simmons while I return to NY periodically. Sometimes I think he likes Barkeritaville more than home.

My 13 year old dog was sick. After almost $1000 worth of tests, Simmons Vet still did not know what was wrong. I went to a new vet and told him the symptoms and without any tests knew it was an auto immune disease and given the history and age of the dog they gave me medication to just treat symptoms as they arose. This vet is all about money money money. No integrity or concern for animal or parents at all

Just a note to say thanks. My dogs (Bella & Lilly) were boarding there on July 3/4. I let them know when I made my reservation that Lilly may/may not be able to go out to the dog park. She's a rescue that we've only had about 6 mos. on July 4th, I logged onto the west lagoon camera and saw Bella having an awesome time for several hours, but no Lilly. Later, the other dogs were still outside, but Bella was not there. I figured she was taken back to keep Lilly company. When I checked later, business at the dog park had died down as everybody was pooped. But, then I saw Bella and Lilly. One of the tech had put them on leashes and brought them out so Lilly could enjoy a little bit of the dog park. They were walking through the pool (Lilly normally doesn't like the water, but did that day. Anyway, just a thank you. They could have just labeled Lilly a bad citizen and that would have been it. Potty breaks only. But that tech went out of his way to let Lilly enjoy a taste of the dog park with her companion. Awesome.

It's the only place my dog has been dropped off that he wags his tail and cant wait to go in! All others boarding places, he turns back to leave the facility. Barker's hotel know what dogs want!

Dr. Questa to the rescue! This past Saturday bringing our Mackenzie in for her annual was the busiest I've ever seen your office! Things were a little crazy and our Bulldogge barks loudly nonstop until we're in an exam room. There were no rooms available and no one could hear upfront because of our dog. Dr. Questa swooped in and escorted Mackenzie to the back so peace was then restored for all! Among the chaos, we still got excellent service and Dr. Questa's undivided attention. Even check-out a breeze as front desk took care of paying our bill in our exam room to avoid another round of Mackenzie barking. Thank You Simmons Staff for taking care of us!
