They say they offer walk-ins but they don't, not friendly at all if you are a POC, and if you tell them you have cost concerns (who doesn't in this economy) they start to treat you like you're the problem and tell you to go somewhere else or do just an exam which is over $120 just for a vet…

POC maybe go elsewhere! They say they offer walk-ins but they don't, not friendly at all if you are a POC, and if you tell them you have cost concerns (who doesn't in this economy) they start to treat you like you're the problem and tell you to go somewhere else or do just an exam which is over $120 just for a vet to look at your cat. I can't imagine how much an emergency would be. You can CLEARLY hear them talking crap about other staff members and clients while sitting in the waiting room, which tells me they have a very toxic work environment. The doctor talks to you like you are stupid and if you ask "too many questions" she started getting annoyed and becoming short. The front desk staff is nice. Just know its a revolving door of employees, you'll never get the same tech or receptionist. Which confirms the work place is TOXIC.

When I first moved to Taunton I had an emergency with one of my cats and after having a horrible experience at the Taunton Animal hospital where they almost killed my cat, I called the Taunton cat Hospital and they took him in no problem and helped me get it down to a price that I could afford. They are legit lifesavers and I highly recommend them. The vets are very professional, friendly and good to all my cats!- This was back in 2018. Edit-Update- After the Main veterinarian left, unfortunately this place isnt as great as it used to be.The girls are amazing and very caring and I know they do the best they can, but the last time I went it cost me a lot of money and my cat was still having issues. I ended up going to the Small Animal Clinic right down the street and that man was extremely thorough and gave my cat medicine that made her feel better within a couple days, and that medicine continues to give her relief. By no means is this intended as a bad review, I'm just simply stating that since the Main veterinarian has left, it's not as great as it used to be, And if I'm going to be spending that much money I want to make sure that my cat gets relief. They're always pushing extra things that cost a lot although I know they have the best interest at heart, I just don't have $500+ to spend every time I walk through the door
