Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic

My cat was seen as soon as possible. Dr. Thomas made time for us right away. Micky was seen and feels great and I now have peace of mind. Dr. Thomas also helped my dog Cookie. She woke up ill on a Saturday and Dr. Thomas saw her right away. He has all the latest equipment and can run blood tests in the office with immediate results.

The staff and vet techs are always very friendly and helpful, and the doctor was very nice and explained everything clearly. I have taken my cat there twice so far and both visits were quick and efficient, and the lobby and exam rooms were spotlessly clean.

I needed a vet for my new puppy so ofcourse i consulted Unilocal first. With so many choices in my area I chose the one with the best Unilocal reviews and again Unilocal was right!
The service was friendly, the doctor and staff were caring and the pricing was fair.
Make caring hands your choice for all your pets vet needs.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Thomas and his staff. Without getting into a super long story, we adopted another cat off the street. She had never seen a vet. Dr. Thomas spayed her. She had a couple setbacks from living on the streets for so long. He insisted on checking up on her & even called after office hours to see how she was making out. You can tell that Dr. Thomas and his staff truly care about animals. We will always bring our pets to him. I trust him completely. I know my «kids» are in great hands.

Nice clean office, pleasant and caring staff, and a knowledgeable doctor who takes the time to listen and answer all questions. I’m so glad we found Caring Hands.

I took my rat here because I was worried she might have or be about to develop a septic infection. They allowed me to make a same-​day appointment and the staff was very kind and caring. The doctor was wonderful. Everything about this vet office is great — they are also AAHA approved. I just wish they were 24 hour and in NJ!

I took my one-​year-​old dog to Caring Hands Veterinary Clinic last night for an annual routine check-​up. I have been going back and forth to five other veterinary clinics within the one year I have had my dog. He has been seen for a couple of minor health issues. I do not have any problems with the clinics I have been to nor the veterinarians who saw my dog but my experience at Caring Hands has been like no other. Dr. Thomas and his staff members were kind and welcoming. Their office is really clean and located in a good area. They also have very convenient hours and it is super easy to get ahold of them. At my appointment, I expressed to Dr. Thomas my concerns about my dog’s previous health issues. My dog has been diagnosed with skin allergies as well as a luxating patella. Dr. Thomas performed a full body examination on my dog and then gave a second opinion on the diagnoses. He thoroughly explained everything to me, also giving me his advice on what to do as well as what other options are available. I am very happy with my visit at Caring Hands and I am glad I have a found a place that I can trust and depend on when it comes to caring for my best friend.

Dr. Thomas is wonderful. He is knowledgeable, caring and kind. He spends the time to talk over my concerns without making me feel rushed and he is great with my furbabies. When we said goodbye to our lab this week the staff was patient and caring. Caring Hands is the perfect name for this office based on my experience with Dr. Thomas and his staff.

Took my dog here for the first time and it was a great experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My first impression was the office is very clean and organized despite the location they are in. Secondly, the wait was very short. Thirdly, I did not fill out any paper work at all. They use a very good EMR system and I was very impressed by it. I work in a doctor’s office and use EMR systems everyday and this office really put theirs to use to the max. Dr. Thomas and the vet tech was very nice and gentle to my dog. I have taken her to the VCA and she shakes severely every time. But here, she did so well they complimented how well behaved she was. I also like the fact that Dr. Thomas explains what the problem is and what the prognosis is. Then, he gives you a layout of all the treatment options and put them in order from priority first. The tech then comes in and gives you a list of the treatment plans and the prices (again, on their awesome EMR system) and then you just basically pick and choose what you want done. I didn’t like the VCA because the vet there ALWAYS try to persuade or convince me to do a million things that are so pricy and unnecessary. Dr. Thomas gave me a rough estimate for a procedure but unfortunately my dog ended up needing more things done. The price ended up being higher than what he expected but he was kind enough to give me a discount to make it more reasonable. Now, most people may think it’s a scam or they’re trying to appear as if they are giving a discount but working in the medical field myself, I know what it’s like to run an office and the expenses. So, I appreciated the discount. I did spend quite a big chunk of money but then again, I adopted my dog recently and she was not properly taken cared of as far as her health. It was expected that I would have to spend a lot to get her on track. So far, my dog is doing fantastic and I am very satisfied and happy with the care. They called the next day to check on her progress and have her scheduled for a follow up as well. And… their hours are great! I work two jobs, 6 days a week and don’t have to take any time off from work to get her seen.

Horrible. The vet was in and out of the room with a 10 – 15 minute wait between each. My dog had an open wound and they kept asking me if I wanted them to bandage it. Later I found out why the bandage was fell off 20 feet from the door. They were supposed to give me an estimate for a cyst removal (one of the times the vet left the office) never came back with an estimate. Staff took my dog from the room without stating what they were doing. They were bandaging her (I’m not sure why it couldn’t be done in my presence) my dog became very anxious from waiting so long. I decided to just get her home and do it myself. I had to call from the car to get the estimate for a cyst removal $ 750 – 900 (I found out later was extremely over priced) and then they were to call the day prior to the surgery and did not. To top it all off I attempted to complete a survey they sent me. Anytime I choose something negative I got booted out. So out of curiosity I made positive choice with no issue. A complete disgrace. Go elsewhere. A

Ok so after the poor experience I had with this company, I come on Unilocal to voice my opinion because this is a FORUM OF OPINIONS and I (as an American) have a right to do so. I do not need multiple messages and comments from the staff of this clinic to aplogize or repremand me for pointing out the obvious — someone’s miscommunication lead me to believe that they were «stupid.» The one phone call that night sufficed the all the apologies I needed. I posted my review and I was completely over the situation. Then I got a private message from the vet on Unilocal which was nice but unnecessary. Now I have a comment directed towards me, the size of a novel, explaining that everyone was retrained in the art of knowing the basics of a minimum wage receptionist job and how they’ll communicate now. That’s wonderful! But frankly… I don’t care. Maybe if your receptionist explained to me about walk ins, that Saturday morning, what you tried to in your nasty and snobbish post, then maybe I would have been so pissed off about wasting gas and time TWICE! I’m glad you’re proud of your company and your Unilocal reviews, a whole five. But maybe if you educated your employees BEFORE they answer the phone on how to give proper information and be professional, and YOU DID NOT ATTACK UnilocalERS for just posting honest opinions about their experiences and the stupidity/​iggnorance of your employees, then maybe you could have avoided all of this. I feel sorry for the vet, he seemed nice in his email and you just gave his clinic another bad review.

My husband and I changed to Dr. Thomas shortly after Caring Hands opened because we were dissatisfied with our vet. We have two dogs and a cat that we now take to Caring Hands and we couldn’t be happier and more satisfied. Dr. Thomas and the rest of the staff spend way more time examining and performing their assessments on our animals then anyone ever did before. They are extremely professional yet compassionate and down to earth. Anytime I have a problem with an animal I have been given an appointment the same day even the same hour upon calling the office. I think the prices are reasonable and feel that my pets receive honest and meticulous care. I would recommend Caring Hands to anyone looking for a vet for their pets.

I run a business (Computer Mafia) however not knowing animals as much as computers i take my dog to the pros. I was very pleased with Dr. Thomas & His staff. This was the first place i took my dog to be seen & i was blown away with how patient and enduring everyone was even tho my dog wasn’t cooperating at all. Will definitely be going again and absolutely a regular for anything my dog needs.

I have been nothing but pleased with Caring Hands and Dr. Thomas. I called at the last minute with somewhat of a cat emergency and they were able to fit me in the same day. And did I mention it was a Saturday and I was a brand new patient?! My visit was with Dr. Thomas, not a tech or assistant. He was very kind and down to earth & clearly very, very experienced. He handled my cat wonderfully. The clinic is clean, modern, and everyone there is super friendly.
I had been looking for a new vet closer to home and I’ve found one. I love that they have evening hours and are open all day Saturday. Prices were reasonable and competitive with other vets, but the service & flexibility there makes them a far superior vet. Would absolutely recommend Caring Hands, Dr. Thomas, and his staff!

I was back last night to get my little man his shots and for a re-​check. Another wonderful experience. They also even called me a few days after the initial visit to see if my kittie responded well to the meds and was feeling better. My cat is getting even better care than I get at the doctor. I have a happy healthy kittie and we had two great experiences at Caring Hands. I also compared the costs of shots that a local pet supply store was charging and it was about the same.
