Court Street Veterinary Hospital 686 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431

"Long story short: best vet experience I've ever had in my long lifetime of caring for senior cats with IBD, diabetes, and kidney failure. Dr. Kim Allsopp is absolutely terrific - exactly the kind of vet I've always wished for but never found when I had to make hard decisions. She was kind and soothing for both my kitty and me, and went through bloodwork results clearly, so I understood what they might mean. She met my goals and concerns beautifully, putting together a treatment plan for my senior cat that meets what I hoped for. I'll give two examples of how rare Dr. Kim's approach is: I was told by another vet in town that my cat had Stage 4 kidney failure and my only options were euthanasia or to take her to Concord to a specialist. This same vet did not do an ultrasound to check for cancer or a kidney stone (or if one was done, it was never put into my cat's records), and those tests completely change how you would treat the cat. Also, the other vet told me to euthanize based on just two elevated kidney values, but when Dr. Kim went through how a cat's body systems interact, it was clear that we don't yet know exactly what potential for improvement exists. It's very possible my cat is Stage 2 or 3 in kidney disease, not Stage 4 - and regardless of the stage, there are ways to make renal kitties comfortable and buy them time. Tonight, thanks to Dr. Kim, my cat is feeling better than she has in a month. I also want to mention Abbie Black, the vet assistant, who could not have been more understanding and kind during a stressful, hard time for me and my cat. I hope these specifics help anyone looking for a great local vet to know what they can expect at Court Street. Their prices are moderate, but I myself would pay much more to get this kind of outstanding, rare, quality vet care. And again, I speak as someone who has been to at least 30 vets over time. Believe me, this kind of care makes all the difference."

"Took both my cats here, first one to be put down (old boy) second for a routine check-up. They took great care of my pets, and saw me in some low moments during the old guy's time.. However, they quoted me some dental work on the second cat that was about 3.5 times higher than the second place I called. I wish I could stick with this place for the care provided, but paying 300 for a tooth extraction vs 1100 definitely sounds more reasonable. I even brought the quote to another vet who was shocked at all the "extra" charges, like anesthetic monitoring.. which you'd think would be included in the 250.00 dollar anesthesia charge, but nope! Alas, despite wanting to stay here, I will be venturing onward."

"We had great experiences with this office treating both our smaller dogs. Appointments were easy to schedule, receptionist and staff were super friendly, prices reasonable, no high pressure anything."

"My kitten was sick and I called to see if there was any available appointments, they were able to get me in that day for treatment. Staff seemed kind over the phone and in person. Dr. Miller was very thorough, straightforward, and friendly. I have had bad experiences with Cheshire Animal Hospital, but so far, this seems like a good place to go. I have seen negative reviews but my experience was not negative at all. Lil G was purring for them"

"Just met with Dr. L, she was fantastic, extremely attentive to my concerns and she offered a reasonable, smart plan for me to try with our darling dog. Excellent care, she answered all of my questions. Front staff very friendly and professional too!"
