Veterinary Associates of Derby, LLC

We have been using Dr Jeff for 30+ years, highly recommend him. He and is staff are caring and supportive with any questions and concerns we may have. Dr. does not up charge for unnecessary testing and has kept my pets happy and healthy for many years .

Brought my old dog to be seen. Have not been to this vet but he came recommended by others that go there. I asked him to check his ears, clip his nails and take a blood test to see if he was diabetic. ( was peeing a lot lately) The front desk woman came and said she would come back with my bill. $448.00 later they billed me for visit, nails, ear medicine, blood draw, chemical blood , (heartworm and fecal test as well, without asking me). Guess I should have made it perfectly clear that I only wanted what I came for. The front desk person came in again after I was ready to leave with my receipt, handed me a poop tube, said she wouldn't give this to me to take unless it was already paid for, which she said it was in my bill. There will be no other charges. Received a charge on my credit card 2 days later for $45.00, for what I have no idea. (I didn't drop the poop sample off until 5 days later). Just be aware, you need to let them know what you want done and that no other surprise bills will be paid for.

Dr. Shapiro is the best Vet in CT. Takes great care of his patients and knows his stuff. My dogs were misdiagnosed by 2 different vets racking up bills for over a year. Dr. Shapiro took one look at them and new the problem instantly. Staff is friendly, prices are fair

been our vet for 30 years very caring and knowledgeable highly recommend Dr and his wonderful staff

This staff is truly WONDERFUL! They care very deeply about the animals in their care and each of them are dedicated to helping animals to the highest degree. Now this is a EMERGENCY Hospital and 24hours so it's not cheap and you should be prepared for the expense that comes w emergency care in order to save your animals life or better it in the way most needed. But I wouldn't have changed a thing about choosing VCA as they saved my amazingly wonderful cat who is like my child. My wife and I LOVE VCA and it's whole Staff! Thank you VCA for being Amazing!!!
