The customer service did not want to talk about the dispute about the repeated charges on the same issue, I could hear the H representative laughed at me over the phone, and the manager did not care much, either.

If there were 10 stars they'd get them all. SVH has the best team of docs, techs and office staff anywhere. I've been there since the late 70's and have nothing but kudos for a team that is knowledgeable, professional and caring.

These people are simply the best. They're all very empathetic, kind and accommodating. I'm always greeted with a smile by all and kind words. They treat my dogs like they are there own. I wouldn't want any others taking care of my babies. Thanks to each and every one of you!

Great place! Everyone was courteous, quick and easy to deal with. I just switched to Stonington Veterinarian and I think it was worth the change. I appreciated them trying to get appointments for both cats as soon as they did.
