I am posting here because Google removed my 1 star review no doubt because NVH pays them to remove too many bad reviews. Compared to my normal veterinary hospital, they charge 2-3 times the amount, which is criminal. They pressure you into doing every diagnostic test under the sun which right off will cost over $1200 Then when you do pay for all the diagnostics, they still do not know what is wrong. Now they want to hospitalize your pet for another $3000. Then guess what, now you have to euthanize your pet because nothing helped and they still have no clue what happened. This scenario happened several times to me at NVH. Unfortunately, I had to come to this place for emergency care. My last visit was so horrible that I hope no person ever has to go through what I did. The wait time was insanely long and we were the only people there. The exam room was disgusting. There was dog hair matted all along the corners of the floor. The counters were filled with dust. It smelled musty. When I

I took my 2 year old Maltipoo there immediately after I discovered she was unable to walk. They wanted to run tests but before doing so, they told me that she probably had a neurological condition that could be treated if i paid between $4,000-$5,000. I declined, as that cost too much and I couldn't afford it at the time. They said they could treat her using other methods. I left her there for a day and half. They said she started to look like she was regaining use of her legs. I went to pick her up, they never told me what could be wrong with her but they gave me a bill for over $2000. They said she should be fine and would be able to manoeuvre with the use of a cart. My beloved dog died literally the next day. Newton Vet Hospital are only interested in money and not pet care. Please stay away.

I have used this hospital on several occasions with mixed results.The way they handle the money aspect is tacky at best. As far as the doctors I think it all depends on who happens to be on duty. Communicating diagnosis, treatment options, and listening to their customers needs room for improvement. I have also experienced a couple of the vets to be very condescending. The facilities are nice and reasonably clean. Wait times can be lengthy depending on how busy they are. Open 24/7 is a plus. I might also add they have a very friendly and professional midwife on their staff and found her to be a breadth of fresh air

I took my dog to Dr. Monica Ilardi at Newton Veterinary Hospital for an intestinal blockage and was told he either had to have surgery at a cost of $2900 - $5600, or be euthanized immediately. She was clearly angry with me, I believe because I hadn't sought surgery sooner. Since my dog was not showing signs of being in pain, I declined either choice until I could talk to my regular vet, and more importantly my family. Thankfully, the dog began defecating and eating normally the next day, and I had xrays taken to confirm that the blockage had cleared. Two days later, the ASPCA came to my home with a charge of animal cruelty based on my refusal of medical treatment. Fortunately, it was apparent to the investigators that my dog was doing well, and he has been in good health in the five months since. I need to note that I don't believe the vet's recommendation was wrong - an intestinal blockage is very serious, and we were very lucky to have the issue resolve itself.
