Short version: Dr. Alden Chadbourne, she's wonderful. Great service. Friendly people. Not too pricy. Strongly recommend. One draw back is parking can be a pain sometimes, but worth the hassle. I was given a golden retriever (Brody) about 6/7 years ago (great breed, amazing dog, strongly recommend). Shortly after I moved to Scarborough I was told to check out Brackett Street as Scarborough Animal Hospital had a reputation of being a bit pricy. Brody had been in good health, no issues so we put off seeing a vet for a while (we did the vaccination clinics at PetCo instead). About three years ago we missed a clinic date and Brody needed his kennel cough vaccination before we could board him so we called Bracket who saw him three days later. No judgment that I hadn't been bringing him regularly and no push for expensive tests. It was a good experience. Last month we went back (only our second visit) to see about Brody's bad breath. Dr. Chadbourne recommended a teeth cleaning, but thought we should try some cheaper options first. Nothing seemed to help but he's there now getting his teeth cleaned. I felt very comfortable dropping him off there. The Dr. called mid surgery to tell me what she had found and ask how I wanted to proceed. Very satisfied.

My poor dog had a bad case of too many holiday treats, but Brackett St. fit us in right away, even as a new patient and on a holiday evening. They listened carefully as I explained his history, took him for quick tests, and then thoroughly explained the situation and our options. I was extremely impressed with their combination of promptness, diligence, and compassion for my pup. I highly recommend - and thank - the Brackett St. team.

A fantastic veterinary office. Phone calls are answered with warmth and prompt assistance. Dr. Alden is thorough in her explanation of diagnoses, is extremely personal with pets and their owners, makes follow-up phone calls for pets having a difficult time, and has fantastic interpersonal skills. We lost our 12 year-old pug recently, and will be sure to return to Brackett Street Vet with our new pup.

I took my dog there with a throat infection. Brackett Street gave her a clean bill of health. I went elsewhere, they gave her the antibiotics that she needed.

We needed to find a new vet, and heard wonderful things about the Bracket Street Clinic by talking to friends and by reading these reviews. I must chime in with agreement. They are wonderful! My husband and I brought our rather nervous tabby to them and they treated her (and us) so well. They are very caring and do a thorough exam. They are also very upfront about billing, so you won't get any surprises when you go to pay. I definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to find a high quality vet!
