I will never ever take my cat back here. This place is not only completely unprofessional about their appointment times, but they also went against our wishes for our cat as its owners and administered the incorrect dosage of medication. We went back to see our regular vet and the medical records (which this place said they would provide) were not provided until an entire month later. Our vet knew they gave my cat only a fraction of the dose of his medication he normally gets, which was making my cat’s condition worse. In addition, we received (in part) an incorrect diagnoses and were basically lied to. Lastly, they did not even bother to return our regular vet’s calls, and have not done so for ages now. Do yourself a favour, steer very clear of this place. They care about manipulating you into essentially handing them all your money, and that’s it. They put on a good act though. I’m scared to think of what would happen if we went back again, since they were fully willing to take it upon themselves to administer whatever dosage they wanted to.

I took my dog there 6 weeks ago for a lump. They suggested removing which I called to get an appt to get removed. Took them over a week to get back to me then gave me an appt 6 weeks later? Yes she had the lump for over 6 months but it was size of quarter and never bothered her and never grew. I took her there and was told if it wasn't bothering her to leave it originally so I did. When I called for surgery, I was given an estimate that was good for 90 days for $620. I called twice within last 5 weeks to tell them it was bothering her and it was growing and could I get something for her. They gave me antibiotics that did nothing for her and it kept growing. By the time I took her for surgery it was the size of plum and they increased the price to $1130 almost double?? I am sorry but that is ridiculous and gauging. What happened to quote was set for 90 days. Funny it never grew in 6 months and then all of a sudden doubled in size in 6 weeks?? Im frustrated they doubled the price . I took her there at 9am, didn't leave until 9:30am and they called me at 11:07am to say she was done and just woke up from her anesthetic . So a surgery for what 30 min (if that) was $1130? Sorry but this vet is not compassionate they only care about money.

We have two Maine Coons, and we were trying to get a fabulous vet and found Three Islands. Since day one, they have been great! I don't understand people who are commenting "don't take your pets there", blah blah! Dr. Dave & staff are professional and go into detail what is going on with your pets. We went to other vets that said our Max had stomatitis and his teeth would have to be pulled out. Dr. Dave said it is "juvenile gingivitis" and not stomatitis. They are compassionate, plus if you think the cost is high, well you shouldn't have got a pet if your can't pay for the vet bill. Visiting the vets is expensive, BUT you people complaining should keep your mouth shut and STOP bashing this place. Thank you Three Islands, see you soon in July for Max and Jack's shots etc. ****another review for Three Islands Vet, our Jack had serious infections in his mouth caused by auto-immune disease. Dr. Jessica was kind and compassionate in explaining Jack's situation which required teeth removal. Totally professional, and gave us much time! We trust her judgement in a very difficult situation, we know that Jack was in the best hands possible. Thank you everyone!
