My first impression when walking through the door is how clean the space was. I brought in my 10 year old cat for an examination and the situation escalated quickly when we realized how extensively ill our cat was. The staff here were very kind and compassionate when explaining all the options for care and treatment of our family pet. Their handling of Sylvester was very gentle and not at any time did I ever feel rushed our judged. Thank you in particular to Dr. Harris.

I recently switched to this clinic and today is my first visit to treat my dog’s ear infection, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Dr Harris was incredibly patient and kind, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything. Jade vet technician was very gentle and careful while cleaning his ear and administering the first dose of medication. The clinic staff made the whole experience smooth and reassuring. Highly recommend!

I recently transferred care for both of my dogs to the Hamlet Veterinary Hospital. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am to have made the move. The clinic itself is clean, inviting, and very well organized from an admin perspective. The veterinary technicians are AMAZING with my senior dog, so gentle and patient and kind. Even though I haven't been at this vet for very long, I feel that every time I come in, they remember my dog - something that seems trivial but I didn't know how much that meant until I came here. A particular recognition for Dr. Vincelette who is incredibly knowledgeable, proficient at communicating things about your pet's health and providing a detailed plan of care. He is extremely thorough and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. I never feel pressured to choose a particular course of action and decisions on my pets care feels very collaborative. I only wish I had been with this clinic sooner!

I am so glad I chose Hamlet Vet when I needed to switch veterinarians a few months ago! Dr. Covello is so good at explaining issues and breaking down treatment options with their pros and cons. She does this in person but also in a very detailed manner via email, allowing me to read and reread once my emotional response has waned. Dr. Covello ran diagnostic tests which I had not been offered previously. Because of this, she diagnosed my cat with hyperthyroidism; something that I do not believe would have be caught by my previous vet. I have also had wonderful interactions with the vet techs in person, over the phone and via email. I have kept the drawing that Jessica attached to the discharge papers! I get a sense that the team really cares about the animals but also care about the humans too!

Awesome vet clinic. I used to go to another vet in the Gloucester area and they always felt a bit unhelpful due to the lack of staff. For a first visit, Hamlet veterinary hospital was great
