I came to Fitzgerald via recommendation... I regret it! My dog saw Dr. Fall for a lump on his belly... she didn't seem concerned about it and said, "don't worry about it" several times. Not only was she passive about an issue I brought to her attention, she was condescending about what kind of food I was feeding, and that my dog is on a 'free-choice' diet... even though he's in his weight bracket. This place was highly overpriced for the services I received... I ended up visiting another veterinarian for a second opinion.

I took my pup there for the 1st time and they were very helpful. My parents and a couple friends bring their pets there too and we've never had issues. They have the lowest pricing around and are easy to work with. Sad others experiences were the complete opposite...

Being new to Vermont and a new pet (cat) owner, I was recommended to Dr. Fitzgerald's by Pet Food Warehouse and while I love Pet Food Warehouse their suggestion did not please me. In the almost three years we've had Haley and now 1 year old pup Roodie we have not been pleased with our vet visits. It seems that the general aura is that getting through the day and seeing the money at the end of it is more important than the animals they work with. Our more holistic and homeopathic suggestions or questions were brushed aside as they put more emphasis on medication and in-house bought food brands without being able to explain why such food was better. The straw that broke the camel's back was this past week when I brought our pup in for a very bad cut to the front pad. After learning that I would have to leave him there for the day to get stitched up I was never told what was going to happen, just handed a liability form to sign. I was promised a courtesy call when Roodie was out of surgery-I received no call. Finally, at the end of the work day I called over and they said, "of course he's ready to go." I never saw the doctor only the aides who provided me with more information about how to tie his shameful cone than anything about the surgery, the bandages, what to avoid, what to do, medication, anything. Anything would have helped; here I am with my poor pup all bandaged up and looking to me for help. I got all of our records that day and closed the doors on Fitzgerald. What a shame...

I moved back from Florida and took my male tabby to Dr Fitzgeralds office. (My cat had gone there when he was a kitten and had gotten declawed and spayed there.) I had brought him in because he had lost weight and it turns out that he had diabetes. When I returned to the office to get him looked at to find out how to handle the diabetes, they handed me a sheet of paper with prices of insulin and needles etc. they left me in the room and said that if I had any questions I could ask the Dr when he came in. I asked many questions and all I got in response was rude and condescending behavior. Dr F even commented that the cat had been declawed. I told him that he did it back in 2000 and he told me that he never declaws cats. I told him that I remember him doing it and he practically called me a liar. I then went to a Vet that answered every one of my questions and made me feel at ease. Dr F's office is one I tell my friends NOT to go to. I didn't appreciate being treated the way I did. Very poor experience.

For 13 years Dr. Fitz, Patrick, and a wonderful group of staffers have tended my pets. Tonight the 14 1/2 yr-old lovely dog ended her days at the clinic with Angie and Dr. V. Gentleness, care, compassion and kindness attended her last moments. We have complete faith in Dr. Fitzgerald and reccomend him to anyone.
