We have been going to Dr. Glidden for years. We love him and the entire staff. They take very good care of our beloved Bernedoodles Frank n Beans. Never a bad experience over the years.

I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and Dr. Glidden. He always tries a more holistic approach first and all advice he has given me has worked for my pet’s needs. Amazing doctor and staff!!!!!

I’ve waited a long time to write this so it wasn't based off pure emotion. I feel that people need to know, could be a life-or-death decision for their loved one. We loved this place and seemed very compassionate and knowledgeable over the years. We always wanted to breed our golden and as time passed come to realize she was well past her prime and it wasn’t going to happen. She randomly went into heat on day, so we took her In for an opinion and Dr. Glidden and his team approved to proceed stating she was in good health. The kids really wanted to carry on her legacy so with the ok we bred her. Near end of term, we took her in for a checkup and she lost all but two puppies. No plan was put in place being high risk and having to have a C section, was just advised to proceed as normal. When the time came, and we knew things weren’t going right we had no support and had to take her into an emergency clinic. They stated if we would have waited one more day, we would of lost her. They performed an emergency C section to remove the other deceased puppies and luckily saved her life. The kids and dog were traumatized, she was constantly nesting and depressed so we thought to get her a puppy in hopes she would take it in as her own and would be a welcomed distraction to the kids. Our 3-year-old was playing and jumping off the couch one day when the puppy ran out from the side of the couch underneath him. My wife heard a loud thump, and the puppy was in terrible shape. She rushed him to Dr. Glidden, and I met her there. He seemed calm, cool and confident in having no idea what was wrong with him, so he pumped him full of sedatives to keep him from constantly yelping. I kept bringing up blunt force trauma and concerns of brain swelling but he quickly shot it down and was almost demeaning for me inquiring. He advised to bring him home overnight and keep him heavily drugged since he’s barking nonstop. Kids were even further traumatized from this poor blind puppy constantly yelping in distress. I followed my instinct and decided not to bring him back there in the morning, I went straight to emergency vet, to too much time has passed and they stated even with brain surgery at this point they damage was done and most likely wouldn’t recover. They suspected he most likely had blunt force trauma which caused brain swelling. At least Lakeville sent us a card afterward. I feel that he may have been a good doctor at some point, but his ego has gotten in the way of making clear decisions, I would never recommend taking your loved ones there.

Love Doctor Glidden! He takes such good care of my dogs and I trust him with any surgery my little dogs need. He never tries to "sell" anything and just wants the best for your pet.
