After moving from ot-of-state 2 yrs ago, finding a vet I could connect with, trust for my pets, and know they were getting quality care was a top priority. After looking online at reviews, the vet I was interested in was no longer taking on new patients, but they did recommend Sterling Vet. The doctors are highly educated, mainly from Tufts, and knowledgeable. Their staff is fabulous and compassionate; it is evident they work there for the love of animals. Dr. Detlinger grew up as a vets daughter; caring for animals is second nature to her. Even if you have to travel a ways, it will be worth your while. Now, 2 yrs later, as I am facing the end stages of life for one of my pets. Once the shock wore off after the initial diagnosis, I called them back. They were there to help provide me with palpative care in the form of compassion in understanding my grief, and providing nutritional suggestions and medicines to keep my pet more comfortable.

Dr. Caisse and her team care dually for patient and family members with honesty, integrity, and compassion. During wellness visits and/or emergencies, information is provided in a manner that is direct and consistent, and recommendations are thoroughly explained. I have always felt welcome to ask questions, and have always been given ample time to speak with the clinicians. This is a professional practice which always runs on time and treats its clients like family. I feel completely fortunate to have Sterling Veterinary Clinic care for my three dogs. I would strongly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking the highest level of competence and compassion. After 20 years of pet ownership and numerous affiliations with other clinics, I truly feel that this group is a diamond in the rough.

While routine care is great, they have really come through for us when we needed emergency care and in the planned surgery for an injury to one of our big dog's knees. It would be hard to find finer veterinary care anywhere in this area. They also seem to do a lot of teaching with veterinary students from Tufts -- one of the best schools of veterinary medicine anywhere. While their services are not cheap, they have delivered wonderful care for us every time.

The staff goes out of its way to make both animal and owner comfortable
