Our senior dog dislocated her hip after jumping off the couch. We just moved here out of state and hadnt established a new vet. We were turned away by several vets and hospitals because it wasnt life threatening except South Shore. Not only were they able to get us in the next morning when I called them right before they closed the night before, but they also called us earlier in the morning to let us know there was a cancellation and asked if we wanted to come in early. They took exceptional care of our dog and were very straight forward with options and potential outcomes both good

I highly recommend them. Each and every vet in this practice cares, they listen to you and help in every way they can. I have a dog that is reactive that they handle with professionalism and make sure that the visit goes smoothly for her. They are great with her and my other 2 love the office. The front desk is very professional as well

Dr. Mollie Spillett and Christina are simply amazing. Long story short, my cat needed a health certificate so that she could fly with us to Hawaii. About 3 weeks away from my flight, the vet that I had, all of a sudden, told me that she was not authorized to do the health certificate. I was scrambling to try find a vet that is available and is authorized to do the health certificate. Fortunately, I've found the South Shore Veterinary Hospital and talked to Christina. She was able to squeeze me in 9 days before my flight. She was extremely helpful and told me all the things that I needed to prepare

I have a dog and a cat seen by the vets or techs. They are always professional and take the time necessary to ensure you understand the information regarding your pet. I feel confident entrusting the care of my loved animals to them. I am grateful I learned of this practice. Id also like to say that the staff at the front desk are always friendly and accommodating.
