The best! Everyone I know sends their pets here - including both of our dogs breeders. They were SO compassionate and helpful when our 10 yr old cat developed kidney failure - I was given all the options directly with no push to do a specific treatment, and no judging when we elected to euthanize her (she wouldnt have lived a year, we were told). When we were there for the procedure, I was given all the time I needed to say goodbye, and I was permitted to hold her the whole time. We have all of our animals cared for there, and have had nothing but good experiences. Yes, you have to wait, usually past the scheduled appointment time, as with most doctors. Emergencies happen, and they obviously take precedence over a routine appointment. If Dr. Truesdale spent the amount of time the disgruntled user thinks she is entitled to, he would get even more behind in his schedule, and people will have to wait even longer. You were there for a routine exam, for vaccinations, for crying out loud! You expect a full-on physical exam? Schedule one and youll get that. Schedule an appointment for vaccinations, thats what you get. Bottom line: Theyre awesome!!

This is the best Vet in all of New England. He has literally saved one of my cats from death after suffering serve trauma by quickly and accurately diagnosing the issues she had encountered. The cat made a full recovery and is now 12 years old....That was ten years ago. As I type, my dog is in their care after suffering some type of poisoning. Once again, a quick and successful diagnosis followed up by timely and accurate treatment is saving my dying dogs life.....Did I mention that this crisis with the dog came to a head at 7:00am on a Sunday morning....The Dr. was in the office taking emergency calls....as they do every Sunday....from 8:00am - noon. I would travel any distance for this team at Central....And to Annie, the lady who wrote the horrible review below mine......Reconsider and apologize by removing your ridiculous whine. The bottom line is that he and his team are the best. We are indebted to their services and skills. Thank you

I went to Dr. Truesdale for the first time recently with our 11-year-old German Shepherd who had a urination problem. When I made the appointment, the person on the phone suggested UTI. When I brought her in, and that was the diagnosis. A round of antibiotics and shes doing fine. There was no long wait and the staff was nice. Most importantly, Dr. Truesdale worked with me on the diagnosis. When I told him we dont vaccinate except for rabies, he didnt give me a lecture or look at me bug-eyed. No judgement. When I mentioned that her teeth were bad but I didnt want to put her under to have them cleaned (shes 11), he suggested an alternate treatment that so far is working. I found Dr. Truedale to be accommodating, he explained his opinions, and he provided good advice. I recommend him highly.

Got here early for our appointment. Still waiting 40 minutes after appointment time. I just asked how much longer and was told still 3 people ahead of me, "because its Monday and Mondays are always hectic." Then why even have appointments?? Plus the waiting room is a zoo, there are tons of people here and the dog owners totally ignore the "cat waiting room" sign. Edit: I will say however that the veterinarian and vet tech were good, the service was good, and the prices were decent. I guess as long as you dont come in on Monday its not too bad of a place.

This is the worst place to go!!! If you love your pet, take them somewhere else!! Two close people to me both lost their pets due to this place on the same day. I had problems with my puppy when he had surgery. They never cleaned my pups surgery site and my pup could have lost his leg. This place is the worst place to go. Save your pet and go somewhere else!!!##

Love this vet. He takes very good care of my Newfoundland (Very large Breed). Hes a breeder himself, and has many other breeders as his clientel, but still takes any and all comers. He balances treatment with the wishes of the client, and tries to do whats best for the animal. He sees both dogs and cats.
