This was a homeless cat when I found him and brought him into the veterinary clinic. He was treated gently and the atmosphere made him feel comfortable. He was given the standard tests and also a pill to get rid of stomach worms. Im giving this review 3/5 stars because the lead veterinarian suggested the cat could be put to sleep given he tested positive for FIV. This is a disease that is the human equivalent of HIV; however, it only effects cats and cannot be transmitted to other animals or humans. It would require a deep bite wound to transmit. I have one other cat who is a girl cat who was also homeless when I brought her in that Ive had for 4 years. Ive kept the cats completely separated for the 6 months Ive had the cat pictured, but I was lucky to do my own research about FIV and found case studys have found it is generally not transmitted among groups of cats and cats are generally safe among FIV cats; otherwise I would have sought to give the cat up to another foster care-giver while informing them of the condition. The cat is full of love, wisdom, and life. He was quiet and kind from the time I brought him in, but also incredibly strong for a cat. He had one bad incident during times when I was moving in tandem from different living locations and he was frequently in and out of a carrying case. FIV however does not effect moods, just the health of the immune system. He has been a wonderful cat and had a positive effect on my life. I suggest that the veterinarians do additional research on this topic and look for alternative solutions that can be met to cats under this condition. It would have been in hindsight an incredibly sad loss. This cat most certainly deserved a home and a full life.

I have been going to MVC for 5 years now and have been extremely grateful for the help and care that these vets and vet techs have given to my dog. My dog even gets excited when we go. Anytime I have questions, the veterinarians are always available to discuss my concerns and if they are not at the moment I call they call me back within minutes. I also have a friend who had to put their dog down due to kidney failure and she raved about it. She was unhappy with her vet and I suggested for her to go here and she couldnt thank me enough for the suggestion. She told me that the team allowed her to spend the entire day saying goodbye to her dog and never made her feel rushed. They never pressured her into a decision or spending money on what was actually a lost cause whereas other vets tried to milk her for cash by promising her other procedures would work. If you want top notch care from a team that cares about your pets, then I suggest to take them to MVC.

I take my dog, Dusty, to Medfield Veterinary Clinic and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Dr. Shields, always takes us right away when we arrive and gives him such wonderful attention and loving care that I could not imagine taking him anywhere else. Dusty even enjoying going in to visit which is so unusual for him. He is very skittish about some things but he just loves that place. They explain everything to me in great details and always offer me options. I would high recommend taking your pet to this great veterinary clinic.

We began going to Dr. Crowell ten years ago with our first dog, Jake. Today they take the best care of our two labs who think they are going on a playdate when they walk into the office. Dr. Crowell and his staff always call to follow up after a procedure, surgery or sick visit. I had a poor experience with a previous vet who made our first dog very nervous, but Dr. Crowell and his staff turned that around for him and have become the only place I would take our dogs. I highly recommend them.

I have not been happy with my experiences at the MVC. I dont like how they treat my dog (I have witnessed the techs be rough with my dog). I will not be bringing him back there for care. I also dont care for how they communicate their diagnosis--very clinical. You must also know that their prices are higher when compared to other vets in the area. The acoustics in the office itself are very unnerving. Everything echoes, especially the phones that ring non-stop at the receptionist desk.

Not happy with my past experiences here. My dog had an internal issue causing him constipation. They suggested stool softeners instead of a real diagnosis. I eventually came to find out he had a large cyst that I had to have taken care of elsewhere because MVCs prices are extremely outrageous.

Dr. Summerhayes and Dr. Crowell have been incredible with my dog Molly who had a portion of her ear bitten off. They are very knowledgeable and they have shown great concern over her recent situation because of past medical issues. I highly recommend this clinic.

I have taken my large dogs to Dr. Crowell for years, and wouldnt go anywhere else. He is kind, compassionate, and always up to date on the latest studies and treatments. He is not one to rush into dramatic treatment when there are other options.

They take great care of my dog and are available when needed. I have felt rushed at times but they can slow down and answer questions if you ask them.
