Banfield Pet Hospital® - Braintree South Shore provides quality and attentive health and wellness care for dog, cat and small animal pet patients. Our veterinarians and staff are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and preventive health care with a full-service medical facility offering general services like routine vaccinations, microchipping, dental and surgical care and more. We are accepting new patients now.
I’m very disappointed with the service I received today. Earlier this week, I got a call saying my pet’s medication was ready for pickup, so I came in over the weekend to get it.
After arriving and waiting for my turn, I was told the medication was not ready. I ended up waiting for an hour and a half while being given different explanations. First, I was told the doctor needed to fill the medication, then that the doctor needed to sign it. When I asked if the doctor was actually present, I was told yes—but even after another 30 minutes, nothing was ready.
When I followed up again, I was told the doctor was busy with another patient, and later they mentioned issues with a new system making things difficult. I understand that delays and system issues can happen, but the frustrating part was being repeatedly told it would only take a few more minutes. Instead, it turned into a very long wait with no clear communication.
It would have been much better if they had been honest upfront and asked me to come back later rather than asking me to wait and repeatedly giving inconsistent updates. This experience was frustrating and a poor use of my time.

Awful.
only interested in getting you to sign up for a subscription.
Took our cat in for some odd behavior and peeing issues. they said everything was fine.
good thing we took him to a local vet who showed us immediately that he developed diabetes and had critical liver issues.
If we had listened to banfield, our cat would be dead.
Update: Since posting this review, my wife suddenly received an "urgent" email about a charge for our ongoing plan. We never signed up for one. obviously. Wild the gall of these people.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
