When I first adopted my dog, Rufio, I brought him here because I'd always passed it while attending Simmons and shopping on Newbury, and had heard good things through word of mouth. Knowing it'd be expensive, I also knew that they'd probably do the best job. Since then, Rufio's had two annual checkups, where I had two different vets, but both were amazing. They were so calm and gentle with him, with realistic and real-life terminology that I could understand. I think I had Dr. Torres and Dr. Starr. The front desk staff ... read more
I'm probably not going to write anything brand-spanking new in my review, but I did want to compliment one of the vets at Back Bay Vet Clinic. First off, the reason I gave this 4 out of 5 stars is because the prices really are very expensive. I just had my 7-month old Beagle/Min-Pin mix neutered, and had to take him to another clinic -- the price Back Bay Vet had quoted me was almost 3 times the price I ended up paying. That said, the service here is excellent, and worth the charge for routine checkups. Dr. Torres is extre... read more
This is the best vet i have ever been to, and i have been to quite a few in my life. I took my dog there for a dental check and it was her first visit. The Dr. sat on the floor with my little dog for 10 minutes, making her comfortable and calm. She was so nice and easy to talk to. She asked me all kinds of questions about my dogs history, lifestyle, habits, behaviors and personality, way beyond just the medical stuff. Never once did anyone there make me feel like i didn't know what i was talking about, which is something i ... read more
First off, let me say that this place is not cheap. We have a one year old puppy (Reilly) and when we had to get her spayed we found it was cheaper to take her to R.I. to do it. A few hundred dollars cheaper. Yeah, that's a lot. Now that that's out of the way, I have to say that I love this place. A vet's office on Newbury Street is an interesting thing. Lots of dogs names Foo Foo and Shi Shi visit here. The dogs have more bling than Roxbury (it's ok, I live in Roxbury). But it is not a pretentious establishment, they simply... read more
The women in here are always REALLY NICE and as someone who lives in the area and likes walking vs driving to places its in a great location. The prices you would expect would be more for the location. Sorry, I can't honestly tell you if they are that much more than other places cuz the random shots etc. I have had done there I never had done anywhere else to know. They do grooming too, which is nice, but the wait is usually like at least a month ahead, so either make an apointment WAY in advance, or go someplace else! BU... read more
I won't be going back. I used to use Back Bay when Dr. Jou worked here. She was terrific. Subsequently, I had a bad experience with Sager (definitely not fear-free) and decided to try some at-home vets (not bad but they offer limited services and the turnover in personnel seems high). In April I noticed a small growth on my BFF and decided in September to try Back Bay again. I paid $200 for a check-up and fecal analysis and was talked into dental work in November with an accompanying deposit of $200. I canceled the dent... read more
Poor service My dog had worms and they wouldn't give him meds without appt. Then appts not available. Rude personnel Never going back ever
In short: Great place, right next to the green line, but wow, the PRICING. I thought my last vet was expensive. This place is definitely Back Bay pricing. Communication/Scheduling: 5/5 I've been trying to get my cat a wellness exam for weeks. I called multiple places and left messages. BBVC was the only one to respond and give me an appointment within a month. Front desk staff are super friendly. They have after work hours too which is great. Staff: 5/5 Dr Wang was fantastic. She did not try to upsell me on stuff that I d... read more
Extremely expensive. Questionable diagnosis. This place is certainly not worth the trouble of going to the busiest street in Boston. Find another place for your pets to get care!
