Animal Cancer Care Specialists

We are so grateful that we were referred to Animal Cancer Care Specialists by Hampstead Animal Hospital after our beloved pup received his cancer diagnosis. The staff is very friendly, and Dr. Romansik delivers compassionate care with realistic expectations. He is very respectful of every type of budget, and gives care and treatment options/recommendations based on what you can actually afford. When we first got the diagnosis, we called several area clinics that specialize in cancer care. Some of them wouldn't let us talk to anyone other than the front desk, who couldn't give us any information at all. Most would not give us a ballpark price for x-rays, treatments, or even an initial office visit. Animal Cancer Care told us exactly how much a basic office visit would be, and gave us realistic ranges for treatment options, and they have continued to impress us as we have gone through this process with them. We can't thank them enough.

The staff and the doctor are excellent. They genuinely care for their patients and the families and provide the best care options at an extremely reasonable price. Our cat was diagnosed with an extremely rare and incurable form of cancer and had a rapid health decline at the end of 2018. The diagnosis was a shock and we were devastated. The doctor gave us excellent options that greatly improved our cat's quality of life. She became her old self and responded very well to the treatment. Her condition is incurable but it has given us time to cope with the reality and given us an opportunity to say our goodbyes while she's comfortable and happy. I highly recommend this place.

My sincere hope is that you don’t ever find yourself in need of a veterinary oncologist, but if you do then my family and I would highly recommend Animal Cancer Specialists. They have ‘office hours’ in both Windham NH and Westford MA each week and they were the first and only practice who we worked with over the past 19 months. Most importantly, Dr. Romansik possesses a depth of knowledge on both the industry standard chemo options as well as the more cutting-edge options for cases where the normal path doesn’t work. From day one, we were presented with all the options, we were given a professional opinion on what was the best route, but we were always made to feel that the final decision was ours to make. I have full confidence that our girl survived as long as she did because of the choice we made in working with Dr. Romansik. Secondarily, the entire staff at both locations (in addition to the now closed Newington location where we started our journey) treated our family – both human and canine – with a profound sense of dignity and respect whenever we were in the office. Medicine is a science and a medical practice could be forgiven if they chose to conduct themselves in a cold and sterile manner in their day-to-day operations. I mean, you’re there to get help…..not to make friends. The staff at Animal Cancer Specialists would always greet you with a smile, some sweet talk to any and all animals who walked in the door, and even gave Karma a little gift box after each successful round of chemo. We were never made to feel like our girl was ‘just another dog’ and we are truly grateful for the warmth and compassion with which we were treated. This was overall an exemplary group of men and women to work with during what was a long and at time challenging process.
