Cambridge Veterinary Care

I've been going to Dr. Weiner for over a year now and he has been nothing short of awesome! An example of this was when our dog became very ill shortly after we adopted him. Rather than simply tell us to take him to the hospital for an overnight stay like another vet did, Dr. Weiner was able diagnosis him, administer an IV, and set up personal check-in calls every two hours so he could monitor our dog's condition. He definitely saved us both time and a very expensive hospital stay. As some reviews mentioned he can be direct and to the point, which I can understand. But who cares? I came here looking for the best vet for my dog and that's exactly what I ended up with.

Inquired about pet hotel but the lady answered on the phone was rude and ice-cold. I explained that my cat is on meds and needs veterinary attention, but she declined since my cat was exempt from vaccines and they don’t accept any cat who’s old and not vaccinated. I explained my vet has written me an vaccine exempt form but she didnt even want to look at it and simply said it doesn’t matter.....felt very depressed that the hospital isn’t willing to look after some cat needs extra care. Location is great but I’m not bringing mine ever.

Dr. Weiner is unmatched, 1,000% focused on the animal's well being. This guy saved my dog's life. Even accepted the dog during an overnight emergency. People have been complaining about how "to the point" the Dr is: stop being so sensitive. Do you want the best doctor for your pet or a best friend for you? - think about what is important here...

To summarize my long review below: Dr. Wiener tried to prescribe my healthy kitten who had just spent hardly 2 days in her new home, an antibiotic, antiviral and anti-parasitic all at once, while telling me to completely change her food. He additionally has an archaic/industrial understanding of medicine, and can only explain his reasoning with conjecture and arrogance. ---------------- I took my new kitten in a 2 days after I picked her up from her breeder. I imagined a cute little visit where she'd get her vaccines, I'd learn to clip her nails, and be reminded that I shouldn't have toxic plants in the house. We got none of that. I was told NOTHING about how to lead a healthy lifestyle with/for my new kitten. Instead the vet, Dr.Weiner immediately resorted to fear tactics, and prescribed my little kitten not one but two sets of antibiotics/virals. Because she sneezed 2-3 times a day. They even said "she had an extremely mild case." Later I additionally received an email trying to give her an anti-parasitic for diarrhea she does not have. Antibiotics are a scorch and burn method that resulted from early medical science not fully understanding the body. Antibiotics in addition to killing the bacterial infection, also kill critical microbial structures and ruin the body's natural immune response. Thus antibiotics should only be used when necessary, i.e. when it is clear that the body can't fight the infection on it's own--my pediatrician told me this back in day. The vet looked confused and threatened when I started to bring my concerns up. The vet's response was extremely condescending. He talked in conjecture, and threw around the word "experience" to justify his reasoning. It didn't seem like he read a single medical article since he graduated veterinary school 50sum years ago. He didn't even read the forms I had filled out for his clinic, and also took an uncomfortably long time to calculate the dosage of her medication. The Dr. Weiner also told me to abruptly change the food recommend by our breeder (enough so that the breeder would cover two more years of any health related issues if we continued to feed it). When i asked why? The vet said "so you could give her medicine more easily." I don't know about you, but I'd like to keep my cat healthy enough that I don't need to pick her food based on how easy it would be to drug her. Additionally regarding food, Dr. Weiner only knew the adjective "canned." The vet did not think it was necessary to consider nutritional content, grain free, probiotic content, omega-3s, vitamins, etc. all things that the food my breeder recommended had. He was only able to mispronounce the brand name and just say I shouldn't feed her something he hadn't heard of in order to continue to sway me towards his "canned" alternative. Fear tactics piss me off. And when I say fear tactics, I mean graphic brochures, expecting her to be vomiting, telling me that she will likely start vomiting and not eating and having diarrhea. And then gloating that he caught her Feline HPV early (ie. sneezing from the dust under my bed/ new smells in a new home), even through her breeder had gotten the correct vaccines. He definitely tried to confuse me, as he said everything really fast, and didn't wait to make sure I knew what it all meant, and used medicinal terms whenever possible. Also after prescribing the antibiotics, he stated the side affects, "fever, vomiting, diarrhea.. ya know the stuff you hear on TV," moments before shooing me out the door. I just wanted a vet who seemed to genuinely care about the well being and comfort of my pet, and took the time to talk about her health, rather that hiding behind fear tactics, white hair, and archaic understandings of medicine.

Just moved to this area. My old cats are being treated by Dr Weiner. My experience has been very good. Dr Weiner is very knowledgeable and caring. The vet assistants knew how to deal with a very nervous cat.
