Horrible wait times. They say an appointment is a for a specific time and that's when you show up. then you wait 30 min in the parking lot before they even take your dog inside. If a pet is having an emergency it should be treated as such. The actual veterinarians are great. The rest of the staff doesn't seem to care

I need to revise this review because soon after leaving the review below, Dr. Magenis pretty much saved my dogs life. She, along with the medical surgeons and staff in Portland, acted swiftly to have a 7.5 x 10.5 mass removed from my dog's liver. Dr. Magenis was able to secure a spot for Max in Portland Emergency Hospital and get him right in for care.
I'm so grateful to Dr. Magenis and her staff. My dog has been a patient of Dr. Magenis since moving to Maine one year ago. He's had some minor/senior liver issues and Dr. Magenis has been very communicative and helpful with his treatments. COVID has changed the way we do business and it's very upsetting for me (and most dog owners) not to be able to go into the office with dogs/cats. Dr. Magenis makes you feel better and she takes the time to chat with you and ensures she answers your questions. I've never seen the inside of this establishment because of COVID and I'm not pleased about that but I am happy with the doctor and staff. I do recommend their services.

I took my lab in because of a limp in her left back leg. The staff were friendly and professional, and I didn't have to wait long to see the Veterinarian, Dr. Kevin Chritien. Prior to this "Penny" had surgery for early cancer detected from a lump in one of her teats. Both times she had been given the utmost care and attention to detail. As an owner, I was given several suggestions for treatment options from conservative "watch-and-wait", to more extensive diagnostic tests, and was well-informed on what was most likely the best course of action to take. Penny recovered beautifully from her surgery, without complications, several months ago, and still acts like a pup at age 9, which is why she ended up with a muscle strain recently. The facility is clean and inviting, and there is a place for pet relief outside with bags available and a receptacle for quick clean up. I highly recommend care here.
