I'm pretty sure I have visited every veterinarian in NE Philadelphia and by far, Caring Hands is my favorite. The doctor is not an alarmist, meaning I've gone to other vet's and they wanted to test for everything and perform all these different procedures that were, in my opinion, often unnecessary. At Caring Hands, I found the doctor to be reassuring and very knowledgeable. I took my cat to two different vet's due to a tearing eye and discharge. They both said it was viral and would go away. Well, a year later I go to Caring Hands and the doctor said that his lower eyelid is turned in (which is normal in some older pets) and that's what is causing the tearing. He said it could be fixed by surgery, but he wanted to treat with a medication first and see how the cat does. So I never feel like they have their hand "in my pocket". And I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes, which for those of us with nervous animals, is extremely important. Pricing is average but fair and they are more than happy to give an estimate. There are just somethings that you have to spend money on and in my opinion, my pet's comfort and health are one of those things. So do I recommend Caring Hands??? Absolutely! Oh...did I mention that they have a lot of evening hours??? So no longer do I need to schedule a month in advance or take off from work. Love it.

The staff here are extremely loving and kind to all animals, I witnessed the vet techs sweetly take care of a dog who was obviously stressed out and anxious while in their waiting room as if it was second nature and they were all very personable. I took two of my guinea pigs in to see them one for a neutering and one to check on a skin condition and both were treated with as much love as they receive at home with me. Although my male did not survive his surgery(which is extremely risky on any animal as small as a guinea pig) they still continued to show their compassion towards him by not only helping me take his carrier and things to my car but they were all genuinely upset over the loss of my boy despite only having met him once a week prior to his surgery. I highly recommend them for all animals big and small.

Absolutely terrific doctor and staff. I had rescued a pit bull May 2013, and received all the information I had from the shelter. The age, health and notes given to me just seemed a bit "off" from what I was noticing about the dog's behavior and I was confirmed by Dr. Thomas that my initial assumptions were correct without mentioning a word of it beforehand. I even signed up for the health plan that included neutering, and by far was the best decision I made, as when I needed to schedule a visit, I was always given a reasonable time based on my work and where I live now. I now have 2 dogs and a cat and am taking all 3 animals to Caring Hands because like their name, that is exactly how they treat their patients.

Dr. Thomas examined my American Bulldog because she was scratching at her ears. It was determined that she had a yeast infection in both ears. Dr. Thomas sent me home with ear wash and a cream to treat the infection. Dr. Thomas spent time explaining to me the nature of the condition and how to treat my dog at home. He did not rush the visit and spent all the time necessary to answer all of my questions. His staff was also very caring and professional. I will also be bringing my toy poodle and Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix to Caring Hands for their veterinary visits. We certainly feel the name Caring Hands is very appropriate.

These people are aces. I went for a second opinion for my dog and they are nothing but the best. I found a new veterinarian. I wouldn't hesitate for one second to recommend Caring Hands. Jay Carroll
