Dr. Dammando and Dr. Rife and all the staff of Veterinary Associates of East Haven gave the best care imaginable to our dog for seventeen years. A lifetime ago we brought a little puppy in for his first shots, and have never thought of going anywhere else ever since. Through all this time the doctors and staff of Veterinary Associates of East Haven were always there for our little friend, and what is rare, they were just as solicitous of my wife and me. When our dog suffered a leg injury 10 years ago, one that we thought might prevent him from walking, Dr Dammando helped the dog recover, and was very sensitive to the anxiety this caused us. Two years ago, during Hurricane Sandy, our faithful companion started having problems that were the first signs of the heart disease that took him away from us last week. Dr. Dammando helped us get the proper diagnosis, and assured us that with medication our dog could live for months or longer. These last two years were both difficult and also a privilege. When the day came, and our dog told us it was time to say goodbye, Dr. Rife was at the clinic and made an appointment time for 2 hours later. The care she and Jeremiah and the rest of the staff gave us and our dog at this critical moment was exemplary.

The staff is always pleasant and accommodating. They care about your pet and it shows. I love the way that the Tech comes in and goes over Morgans history, lets me know what she needs to have done, discusses the cost of anything that is over and above the normal and then lets me know what is or isnt necessary at this appointment in the event that finances my be a bit tight to have to pay for everything at one and then asks me if I have any questions or concerns that I would like to discuss with the Doctor. When the Doctor comes into the room, the tech that went over everything also comes into the room. Dr. Dammando is great with Morgan and he always takes the time to ask me if I have any concerns. If I said anything to the Tech he addresses it from the beginning. He actually listens to what I have to say. There is nothing phony about them. The day following the visit I actually got a call from Dr. Dammando telling me that everything was great with the blood work and that Morgan is really doing wonderfully. He said to call him if I had any questions or concerns and I would because I am very comfortable with everything there.

Everyone who works at Veterinary Associates of East Haven is helpful, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Dammando is a pet whisperer. He is one of a kind and I have had a lot of vets over the years. The place is not fancy but I dont need fancy - I need what I get there - excellent care from scheduling the appointment to checking in, to the vet tech, to the vet, the care, check out, the follow up and the peace of mind that my cats are in the very best hands. I highly recommend this Vet office.

Lilo I has been seen at Veterinary Associates for all her vaccines and office visits since I got her in March 2016. She was spayed and micro chipped at Central Hospital where Dr.Commando called me and assured me Lilo was doing fine after surgery. The staff, Dr Dammando, are very friendly and careing people .I would recommend them to people because weather they have a reptile ,cat or dog or bird they are a lovely bunch of people.

I have been with these 2 wonderful vets since moving to the shoreline 20+ years ago. Now, Ive moved away, but I still travel 45 minutes when my dog needs medical help. They have saved my Irish Terriers life twice. Why would I trust anyone else?

I am a new client and am really impressed with the level of care & compassion Ive experienced at East Haven Vet Hosp. I had to put down my 20 yr old cat and everyone could not have been any more consoling. Really good ,down to earth people.

I highly recommend this Veterinary office. I brought my pet rabbit in to be examined, and the Dr. was great with him; gentle, caring, and very knowledgeable. Also, the staff are all great and really thrive to give the best care possible.
