All Creatures Veterinary Hospital

I started taking new dog here because of other great reviews I saw on Unilocal.Everything has been great. They have give my dog so much care and I never feel rushed there. I think my yearly appointment was almost an hour long. By thorough. Whenever I call with questions, everyone is so helpful.

All Creatures is the best vet hospital I have experienced. I feel lucky to have such a fantastic vet hospital right down the street. I’ve lived in MA, NY, CA (where I worked at a vet hospital), and VT. My pets have always come with me whenever I’ve moved. Now that my wife and I are settled in Salem and don’t plan to move again I feel extra glad to have found the perfect «home base» vet for my pets. The practice is bright and clean and welcoming.
Dr. Hezekiah is incredible! She’s friendly, smart, knowledgable, and patient. My dog has some anxiety and fear issues and Dr. Hezekiah is perfect with her. She paid attention to my dog’s body language and noticed that my dog is most comfortable when people in the room are sitting on the floor with her. Not only did Dr. Hezekiah sit on the floor with Callie to make her more comfortable, she even put a note in the chart for others to do the same. Dr. Hezekiah is always thorough and does a great job explaining what she is doing and why. She also takes the time to explain options for treatment. I never feel rushed through an appointment or that she is only half listening. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate this!
The vet techs and receptionists are also fantastic here. They are all friendly and professional and always treat my dog with attention and care, as if she was their own. Someone follows up with us after every appointment to make sure things are going well. We have never had to wait long past the appointment time to be seen (although I would be fine if that happened because I so appreciate that I never feel rushed through my own dog’s appointment). Pricing is reasonable. We love All Creatures so much that we recently had our cat’s records sent over from another clinic so that she can be seen by Dr. Hezekiah, too.

I really like this place! Dr. Bradt takes good care of my bearded dragon Sunshine. She always calls to check in and see how Sunshine is doing. I also get a reminder call for my 6 month visit. This past week I went on vacation and the hospital took such good care of Sunshine. I got text updates and pictures. It was awesome! Dr. Bradt is very knowledgable! I haven’t met Dr. Warner in person but she was kind enough to send me a long email about Sunshines blood test. Some things were elevated but she explained it to me and what to do. So I really appreciated that too. The Receptionists have all been so wonderful and nice. Especially when I was getting ready to leave Sunshine with them. They were very helpful. The techs are also really helpful and nice. I can’t say enough good things about All Creatures! Really Great place! Thank you.

Do not bring your animals there. I needed emergency care for my cat, they told me he had a heart murmur and needed to be put down Immediately for 485.00. I took my cat and left I then brought him to Atlantic Animal Hospital in Marblehead. My does have a heart murmur, but a infection. They are crooks do not trust them.

The entire staff is on point and that is something I appreciate greatly. My pet is feeling much better but I do too knowing that all creatures was there for me from the start. my bearded dragon is harder to find care for because she is considered exotic… but the vet not only cared for my little one, she calls to make sure that she’s still in good health. Thanks to Dr. Bradt’s diagnosis, Dova’s treatment is making her stronger day by day and I can rest assured that I made the right choice in whose hands I placed my little ones life in. I was happy to receive some initial training as to how to administer my beardies medicine when the doctor did the first treatment on site. Not only was the vet nice to me but she was nice to my very fragile bearded dragon and that meant the world to Dova and I. Thank you, All Creatures Veterinary Hospital for being the best vets around.

We are so thankful for your kindness and sympathy. Dr. Bradt examined my six year olds’ very sick guinea pig. She was professional, empathetic and handled this situation with great care. They also provided us with 2 keepsakes with Vanillas paw prints on them. There were 2 keepsakes, one each for my 2 kids. This kindness made this 1^st pet loss easier. Gratefully, Rebecca, Stephen, Hannah and Noah

ACVH is amazing! They practice a high quality of medicine and I always feel like I’m getting the best for my animals. Their staff really cares and is great at displaying a warm, welcoming environment where I feel comfortable with my cat’s care. 5 stars!

Dr. Warner at All Creatures is AMAZING. My blue and gold macaw was egg bound and I brought her in. I got a last minute appointment and Dr. Warner was so reassuring and helpful. She was excellent with my girl (who is a bit testy sometimes). The vet tech and the staff there were so sweet and helpful as well. They calmed my nerves. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thanks again all creatures and dr. Warner you’re AMAZING !!!

We are visiting Salem and All Creatures squeezed us in when our precious dog was having a severe reaction to a bee sting. The Dr and Tech kept us fully informed of his treatment. The doctor advised us regarding measures we should take due to the risk of future stings.
The facility is spacious and extremely clean. The receptionist was friendly and helpful.
And best of all — our dog was soon good to go.

WOW… AMAZING…WICKED AWESOME!
This facility is absolutely outstanding! I am extremely confident in stating that I am 100% positive this where I want to continue my baby Bullies primary care.
Moxie (my 8 month old English Bulldog) had her first appointment with Dr. Deborah Burba this afternoon at All Creatures Vet. Hospital.
I must say… Dr. Burba knows what is really going on… :-) She is SO nice and is extremely knowledgeable. I have read book, upon book in regards to caring for an English Bulldogs and just on Moxie’s first visit she informed me of information that I had never even heard of…
At the exam, Dr. Burba did a complete physical and ran all the necessary tests (which did include a liver lipid blood draw)…
I was LITERALLY still in the waiting room making Moxie’s next appointment and I received a call on my cell. I did not answer and the call went to voice mail. I listed to the message when I was leaving… IT WAS DR. BURBA CALLING WITH MOXIE’S BLOOD TEST RESULTS!!!
I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!!!
The kindness, compassion and commitment that this practice shows to their patients is unbelievable! Bravo!
To: DR. DEBORAH BURBA AND HER STAFF,
YOU ALL ARE PHENOMENAL!!!

Interesting that my review doesn’t show up on the Google reviews through the hospital’s website… looks like they only allow 5 star reviews.
Dr. Bradt and a pharmaceutical company killed our baby! :(From the time we started going to this office, even though it was a only a short while, everything was about the upsell. The vet tech would come, take vitals and when finished would launch into a pitch about pet insurance, some brand of food we should try, etc. We confronted Dr. Bradt about this. The last draw for us was when we brought our Maine Coon cat in for a checkup. She told us he needed a distemper vaccination. We figured that this was routine and didn’t think anything of it, like most people. She administered a 3 year distemper inter nasally — which means that it’s sprayed up the nose instead of given with a needle. (Didn’t know that this was a 3 year shot until we saw it on the bill afterward.) That night he began having sneezing fits that wouldn’t stop. We brought him back, she examined him and said that «Some cats have a reaction to this.» and down played the situation. Then, her office tried charging us for the appointment. After arguing with the receptionist and her looking appalled that we didn’t want to pay for a FULL visit — I asked to see Dr. Bradt and we discussed this. I told her that I didn’t think that it was right that we were being charged for an appointment (which are more expensive there than other places, by the way) due to the reaction of something she administered. Also, we weren’t even being charged a follow up rate, we were getting charged the full rate to tell us that «some cats have a reaction to this.» Eventually she waived the fee for the visit, but the entire situation … in addition to always feeling «sold» to … left a bad taste in our mouth — so we sought out another doctor at a facility where we had visited the emergency room with other cats. About a year and a half later, in the first few months of 2014, he started having swelling around his eye, and was sneezing a bit. We brought him to the doctor and of course they wanted to rule everything else out first, hoping it was viral — but it ended up being a tumor between his left nostril and left eye — the same nostril that the distemper vaccine was administered inter nasally. We were told that this type of cancer would be terminal due to the location of the tumor and them not being able to operate. If we did nothing, he would eventually suffocate to death and be in a lot of pain around his eye and mouth area over possibly a 90 day period. We spent over $ 6000.00 to try and help him at least feel more comfortable by doing four radiation treatments over a month’s time, which we were told would shrink the tumor and make him feel better for 4 – 8 months. (It did shrink the tumor.) After that we could revisit his condition and possibly do another set of radiation treatments. A couple of weeks after his fourth radiation treatment we went back to the oncologist for a check up. His kidneys seemed to be a bit swollen and a blood test showed high kidney levels. They thought that the cancer had now spread to his kidneys. We refused an ultrasound and other costly tests because there wasn’t much we could do. Last night, his kidneys had swollen significantly and he was very lethargic. We called our vet a little after 4am and they got us in at 9:30am. We were told that this would be much worse over the next couple of days and he would be miserable. We thought this would be the case, as well. So around 11am today 7÷24÷14 — we made the difficult decision to put our baby to sleep. Of course, it’s a very sad day for my wife and I… but also our other two cats — one of which was his best buddy. They were inseparable. The bottom line, and the point of this review… DO NOT let Dr. Bradt or ANY other doctor administer a 3 year distemper to your pet. Before the tumor emerged we had a discussions with other vets and were told by a couple that they don’t even feel that distemper is necessary anymore and don’t even give it to their own cats! These were casual conversations not knowing that we’d end up here from what had already been done. Wish we would have known that before we lined Dr. Bradt’s pockets a little more.

I initially brought my rabbit, Willow, in for a check up because of her sneezing. Dr. Bradt was excellent with her. She is great about keeping in touch and helping me with my questions, even when I’m not in the office! It’s definitely worth the trip out to Salem.

I went there on Saturday morning due to my cat not eating or drinking and constantly throwing up blood, they were the only place in the area who would see her last minute, the staff was amazing, they were so good with my kitten and made her feel comfortable after taking her to the hospital the night before and them saying they had to do so many costly things to figure out that issue that I could not afford 2,500 up front this place was my last resort and they tried all the little things first before racking up a hefty bill! And boom the next day she was completely back to normal all it took was hydration, anti acids, anti inflammatory, and anti nausea meds! I will be bringing my kitten here for now on! I’m so happy and pleased with the performance!

Dr. Burba and the staff are wonderful! I took my cat to All Creatures for routine services, dental extractions and for an emergency treatment when he stopped eating. The staff fit me into the schedule immediately to treat my cat. Prices are reasonable and the hours are great if you need to schedule appointments later in the day. I highly recommend All Creatures.

We needed a vet on a Sunday, and the one we have been using for years has no weekend hours… our friends suggested All Creatures, so we called and they got us right in! (Saving us the trip and cost of a pet ER). They were great — friendly, professional, thorough. We are switching our whole furry family over to them! Thanks for a great place!

I love the staff and doctors at All Creatures. My cat is an old lady w/​lots of health problems. When we had a kitty emergency, the staff brought us right in and took great care of us. The doctors call just to check in every once in awhile without my having to schedule an appointment or anything.
I also appreciate the fact that I was able to have a very candid discussion with the doctors about the realities facing the parent of an old kitty. It’s nice to have support and understanding from a professional who knows how important an animal is in your life.

They are amazing. Dr. Burba and staff are excellent. I am sure the other providers are too, we just haven’t see them. They take care of our cat and dog. They are very clear and helpful. I can’t say enough how great they are.

After coming from bad vet experiences at Banfield and not being big fans of New England Vet either… we decided to give All Creatures a try.
All Creatures was expensive but thorough. I feel like we were given quite a bit of medication and many vaccines and preventative measures were recommended. Not a bad thing I just have a hard time determine what our dog really ‘needs’ and what the best treatments would be.
Dr. Bradt and the vet techs are all friendly and knowledgeable. It looks like we will continue to visit All Creatures.

Dr. Burba and Dr. Bradt are both great, as well as all of the caring staff here! They take great care of our dogs and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I like a vet who is up front with explaining procedures and cost, and doesn’t just whisk the animal off and do things without asking. Dr. Burba is great about following up with phone calls and checking in periodically. All Creatures also has the best vet techs ever!

I’m so glad we started bringing our kitties to All Creatures! We used to be hesitant to bring our cats to the vet because we were used to vague explanations (or none) and piles of incomprehensible charges from other vets. The staff at All Creatures is friendly, patient and understanding, from desk staff to vet techs to the doctors. Dr. Segal, who I believe is only there part time, is actually our preferred doctor here, although I think she may have received a negative review from someone else. She does have a bit of a brash nature, but she’s very honest and straightforward and that’s exactly what I want in a vet. I really feel like I understand what’s going on with my cat and what my options are with her. We are so glad we’ve found this vet!
