Greenland Veterinary Hospital

This is the best place to bring an exotic pet. Dr. Hale is in a class of her own when it comes to taking care of my bearded dragon, Falcor. Their prices are reasonable. I actually look forward to the visits with her and am sure Falcor LOVES the attention from all the friendly staff !!!! Thank you Dr. Hale, you have helped Falcor so much, you are greatly appreciated! If I could give 10 starts I would

Amazing service - so patient with our reactive dog. The vet spends so much time talking with us and building rapport with our dog. This year was our most successful (lower anxiety, less growling, all services completed) vet visit ever. So appreciative for this practice!

I will always take my birds here from now on. We have a barred parakeet that we rescued. He is not hand tamed and fully flighted. The vets took great care of him. They trimmed his nails and helped us choose a treatment plan that would help him get better. They were extremely understanding about him not being tamed and were still happy to work with him. I'm so glad we found an avian vet that does not require driving to Boston!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found Greenland Veterinary Hospital. I am a long-time animal owner, from dogs and cats to exotics such as birds, rabbits, rodents, marsupials and reptiles. I am also a retired zookeeper. One of my current pets is a rescued Amazon parrot with special needs. Another is a rescued Lionhead rabbit who came to the shelter in rough condition and needed extensive specialized veterinary care. It is difficult to find vets who treat exotics, let alone excellent ones. Without a doubt, Dr. Elizabeth Hale is the absolute best veterinarian I have had the pleasure of using in my 68 years of pet ownership and animal care. She is incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of virtually every type of animal, from their daily needs to possible diseases and issues. She is caring and compassionate with both the pet parent and the animal she is assessing. I have seen her contort herself to examine animals in ways that are the most comfortable and least stressful for the animal. She works slowly and gently to keep the animal as much at ease as possible. She will go to any length to find out what is causing a problem, and offers solutions that work. When my blind, 17-year-old leopard gecko had to be euthanized, Dr. Hale was so empathetic and kind, and explained the process she would use that would be painless and peaceful for him. When he was gone, a vet tech brought him to me in my car and gave me a hug. The entire staff is incredibly caring, compassionate and patient. They never make me feel rushed or feel as if I am interrupting something more important. They listen to any concerns, ask questions, and walk me through any procedures I need to be aware of. There are always follow-up phone calls or emails after appointments to ensure all is well with my animals. In a time when veterinarians and veterinary staff are in short supply and facing insurmountable stress, I want to let the entire Greenland Veterinary Hospital staff know they are truly appreciated by those of us who depend on them. Their knowledge, skill, positive attitudes, warmth, kindness and compassion are incomparable. I very highly recommend them to any pet owner.

Overall unimpressed with our experience. The staff were generally friendly, but the facilities were very limited; the vet only ever recommended the same three things for our guinea pigs regardless of what we brought them in for; and when we needed a referral to a specialist, no one was able or willing to assist. We had to call around and make our own appointments, ultimately finding a specialist who wholly disagreed with the advice we received here. If you need anything more than the barest checkup for an exotic, go elsewhere.
