Harborside Veterinary Hospital

The three doctors in this practice are talented, easy to talk to, and quite devoted to the animals in their care. They keep up on their research and offer dependable care, being reassuring both in their demeanor and because of their skill. I highly recommend them.

Pros: Caring, knowledgeable, dedicated

Cons: none

I came to know Dr. Frevola and the staff of Harborside Veterinary Hospital through the adoption of my mutt from the pound. He had established a cooperative relationship with the town by spaying and neutering the animals in their care and Penny Lane was one of those dogs. What good fortune that was for me - and for her! Like striking gold! Penny, it turned out, had cancer and bringing her back to him for an examination after her spaying, he diagnosed it and treated her - and cured her. She lived 11 1/2 more years after that, until a different form of cancer took her in her old age, but before it did, Dr. Sponza helped extend Penny's life again with a quick diagnosis and skillful surgery.

For over 13 years, Harborside's talented and knowledgeable team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians have cared for my beloved animal friends. Their advice has been unfailingly good and their care and treatment of my pets has been impeccable. Even to the smallest details, like when several of the vet techs took the time to groom and brush Penny's thick coat after her final surgery, and even cleaned her teeth - despite knowing she would not be around much longer. Or when Dr. Chen and two of his assistants stayed until after 11 p.m. when my dog Sheba needed emergency surgery. Or the times when I was wrestling with my dog Samsons' imminent demise and stopped by without an appointment needing to talk and found each of the vets willing to take the time needed to advise and reassure me. Or the house calls they made at final, desperate moments when they needed to ease my dog friends from this life that held only pain for them.

The diagnostic and treatment skill of Drs. Frevola, Chen and Sponza are excellent and they are among the most caring and kindhearted people that I know. Their efforts on behalf of my animals have always impressed me and their knowledge, professionalism and compassion have enabled me to have unfailing confidence in them. Harborside's team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians have provided my pets with solid and dependable medical care over all the years I have known them and they have provided me with helpful, practical advice and guidance on the best way to care for them as my pets and family members. I am indeed very grateful and have recommended them to so many friends, who have then told me that they have also recommended Harborside to their friends. What better endorsement could there be than repeated satisfaction and happiness?

Pros: dedicated veterinarians and assistants, knowledgeable, willing to research, great care of animals, friendly too!

Cons: I have nothing negative to say about them.
