I have been to 2 different vet practices since Newtown, and have had much more positive overall experiences with vets who educate in a manner that doesn't make you feel terrible. Perhaps it would be better for the vets to first focus on medical care, and when there is a need for education, do so in a supportive and compassionate manner. I was very attentive to my pet's needs and tried my best. Sure, there was room for improvement, and I had a lot to learn, but the pervasive accusatory tone from some of the staff that I was a lousy pet owner still sits with me years later. Hopefully, in the years since, these vets have changed their approach and give the pet owners the benefit of the doubt. Incidentally, this pet lived to a ripe old age and had a pretty good life. I guess I did something right.
I was a first-time dog owner when I started going to Newtown Vet. I truly loved and wanted to do the best for my pet but had a lot to learn. Unfortunately, some of the vets (who may not even be employed there any longer) were quite nasty, critical and judgmental of my abilities as a pet owner. Additionally, based on information received from a different vet who treated my pet, I believe a medical condition may not have been properly diagnosed in many years at Newtown, and while the medication prescribed was effective and correct, the dosage was possibly too high. I cannot say if the possible misdiagnosis and incorrect dosage really had a significant impact on the well being of my pet, but it was disappointing that I may not have been given the correction information despite regular visits.
The primary vet we saw was Angela Summers. Years later, my experiences with Dr. Summers still stick in mind. It almost seems that she was more concerned with passing judgment on my abilities as a pet owner and less on medical decision-making. I also saw Jamie Logan a few times, and she was extremely nasty on one particular visit. On the flip side, Dr. Graham and Dr. Palm, whom I did not see as often, stand out in my mind as excellent vets who were helpful and encouraging in their advice, as opposed to condescending and accusatory as with Dr. Summers and Dr. Logan.
They have a wonderful caring staff. I know I can trust them with the care of my pet. I have been going to them since the 80s at the original location.

The doctors are very nice and keep you informed about your pets treatment throughout the entire process
The staff here has always been wonderful,with appointments made quickly - when I called today,they saw us within the hour.
My wonderful 17 yo kitty had a sudden onset of severe respiratory distress which was causing him pain and due to his age,recovery not a likely option.With the greatest love and care,Dr Dale and the staff helped me make the difficult choice to let him go and then did everything they could to make it a gentle,quiet experience.This just happened today,so I wanted to be sure the staff knew how grateful I am for their kindness and care for not only my cat,but for me. I was there alone and they made sure I had their support and empathy.
Thank you, everyone.This was a tough day,but I'll always be grateful for your help getting through it.
Recently visited here for our first visit with our new puppy. Very comfortable and inviting office. The staff at the front desk were extremely kind, helpful, and attentive! The tech and Dr. Ireland were very thorough and showed true caring for our puppy! Everything was truly exceptional. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
It has been a number of years since I have visited Newtown Veterinary Hospital, but I feel compelled to write a review at this time. I wish I had provided this feedback at the time, but was not comfortable doing so. I used this vet for many years and some of the experiences were very positive, while others were quite negative.
