I live near Boston, so about 40 min away from AVC and have been making the trek to this vet whenever I have very difficult cat cases (I did volunteer work with a shelter for many years, so I ended up facing unusual health challenges with some of these cats.).

I live near Boston, so about 40 min away from AVC and have been making the trek to this vet whenever I have very difficult cat cases (I did volunteer work with a shelter for many years, so I ended up facing unusual health challenges with some of these cats.). I began doing this in 2011 and then had a reprieve from any unusual/ difficult health cases from 2017 through this past Monday (May 10th, 2021). I was shocked to read all of the negative reviews that seemed to have occured during my "challenging cats" hiatus when I went to leave today's review. My experience Monday was on par with all of my prior experiences, and I noticed none of the staff from my time before was there anymore. So I'm going to guess that there must have been substantial changes because, in particular, Megan and Dr. Tela went way above and beyond to assist me with Patrick, an 80% feral 16 year old cat who basically needed to have seriously ingrown claws clipped and then the excess extracted from his poor paws, and then as a result of his exam he was discovered to be diabetic. Both of them practically bent over backwards to accommodate Patrick and to help me with solutions to best support his health needs given that he's a cat that won't let anyone near him (despite being an indoor-only, pampered cat for 15 years... complete puzzle). I'll be bringing Patrick back in a few weeks for a follow-up exam and couldn't imagine having gone anywhere else with him. So whatever negative situations occured before, they appear to no longer be present at the current AVC roster of staff. - read less
