Thank you Dr. Jamie for our positive visit this past week!Archies mom 🙂cindy F.cindy F. ★★★★★ I needed a new vet for my dog. I called PPAH and they got us in as soon as they could (not an urgent visit). The day of our appointment, we were taken into a room very quickly after checking in. The vet (Dr. Barker - I mean can that be a better name for vet?!) was amazing and gentle. I am always appreciative when the vet sits on the floor with you and pet! And Dr. Barker did. I am positive I picked the right place and my dog will get the best care possible.Stephanie R.Stephanie R. ★★★★★ Phenomenal staffRobert A.Robert A. ★★★★★ This is the best group of pet Professionals I have encountered in Southern Maine. They have always worked with me, they have always put my pets needs 1st and in a way that lets you know it is very genuine. Unfortunately for me, my species of choice has a short lifespan and always ends up with that dreaded drive to the vets office for your last goodbyes. I have shed more tears than I can count in those exam rooms over the years but I have never felt alone. Thank you PPAH staff. You guys are everything <3JoannaJoanna ★★★★★ I’ve had some interesting experiences with local vets in searching for care for our Guinea pigs. I was out of town when my family had an emergency — they said Pine Point bent over backwards to get our piggy seen on a holiday. Even though we received the news no family wants to hear, we greatly appreciate their honesty and efforts.Bethany I.Bethany I. ★★★★★ I switched vets when I noticed there was no connection between myself and my previous veterinarian (of the day!). Never seemed to be the same person, and none of them knew who my pets were anymore 😞My babies mean the world to me, and like so many of us, we need that connection with our veterinarians to always be sure we are all providing the best care for our babes ♥️ Pine Point Animal Hospital has restored my faith in veterinary care 💯!!!!!Khara St. H.Khara St. H. ★★★★★ Pine Point is always kind and helpful. They have always been able to squeeze us in at anytime and treat our pets with care and respect. It’s worth the hour and a half drive for us to see them.Genevieve T.Genevieve T. ★★★★★ Would never take my Min Pin anywhere else. The staff is always so welcoming! She loves the care she gets from Dr.James. He is amazing with her and honest with me about any health concerns and things I could do better as a dog mom😀Cheryl J.Cheryl J. ★★★★★ Very professional and knowledgeable staff starting from the front desk to the doctors.Paula B.Paula B. ★★★★★ We just moved to the Scarborough area and needed a veterinarian for our two dogs. One of the staff in the practice from our previous residence was from Maine and suggested we try Pine Point when we relocated. We're so happy with that recommendation. On our first visit with Lizzie, Dr. Morrill got down onto the floor instead of putting her on the exam table. That told us he is gentle and compassionate with the animals. Lizzie was more relaxed than she was at other veterinary visits. He accurately diagnosed an ear inflammation and treated the condition, which subsided almost immediately. We wholeheartedly recommend this excellent animal hospital.Andrew G.Andrew G. ★★★★★ The entire staff and all of the vets at Pine Point Animal Hospital are so incredible! They care so much about you and your pets and I couldn't be happier with my experience with them!Heather D.Heather D. ★★★★★ The vets were super careful with my bunny and were able to answer any questions I had regarding his care and health. They also gave him a complimentary nail trim which was much appreciated. I will definitely be coming back in the future with my bunny!Greta R.Greta R. ★★★★★ Last week my little house bunny Buddha was in severe stress and the caring staff at Pine Point Animal Hospital took immediate action! Dr. Katie and her intern came in to the exam room and sat right down on the floor at his level with me. (Which is amazing in and of itself!) It was clear to the doctor that he needed surgery ASAP. And within 2 days he was in safe hands on the operating table. She found a much more complicated problem than expected and with the help of one of the other doctors made the decision to complete the delicate surgery necessary to return my little cream puff to good health. Everyone there was caring, compassionate and listened to our needs like he was their own. He even had to go back for some critical care the day after. He's home recovering now, baby steps back to himself. Thank you ALL! I highly recommend Pine Point Animal Hospital!!Sincerely,Laura Dunn, Peter and Buddhalauradunn A.lauradunn A. ★★★★★ They are all great and kind I had to put my sweet baby girl to sleep and they were so great about everything *** edited it's been 3 years and I have a new furbaby I brought her in this week for her first appointment with Pine Point Animal hospital and I will never go anywhere else they are just as amazing as ever they explained things and answered all my thousands of questions I have always recommended them to anyone who asks about where to take their animals and I will continue to recommend themBecky B.Becky B. ★★★★★ Love this hospital.

Highly recommend this establishment, and a extra shout out to Dr. Morrill for his expertise, advice and care & thank you Danielle for being so sweet to my Del! She is feeling much better already and cozied up on the couch resting.Calvin I.Calvin I. ★★★★★ For over 17 years Dr Katie and the staff at PPAH cared for our dogs. Our pups lived almost 17 years. Dr Katie is extremely knowledgeable about the needs of the animals in her care. She provides all necessary information so you can make an informed decision as to what is in the best interest of your pet and your budget. She is always compassionate and kind, especially through the more difficult times. I am grateful to have our new puppy in her care.Karen T.Karen T. ★★★★★ We had a bunny emergency, our regular vet was not able to get us in, after calling probably 10 other offices, Pine Point Animal Hospital was willing to get us in right away. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and Dr. James was so good with Echo.Thank you so much!!Amy D.Amy D. ★★★★★ The whole staff was so nice and accommodating to Belle. She was nervous but they made her feel comfortable and tried to calm her down. We were brought in on time and our visit was informative, I felt much better after we left.Laura T.Laura T. ★★★★★ Exotic Vet. When I needed a vet for my hamster, I found them, they quickly got us in on both occasions that I needed them and the cost was very acceptable. Were very responsive and informative. Very happy with the staff that work out front. Always very nice and take time to listen.Crystal C.Crystal C. ★★★★★ Incredibly professional staffKeith D.Keith D. ★★★★★ They are fantastic with my pets. Two years ago I had to put my kitty Lady Bug down. I had them get me the ashes. They went above and beyond. Cedar box, some of here fur and a casting of her foot print. They also gave me cards..

I am very Grateful for them and cannot Thank or Recommend them Enough.Melinda M.Melinda M. ★★★★★ They're always looking for ways to improve their veterinary services including the animals they care for, how they communicate with their clients, and the types of services they provide. They took excellent care of my previous dog and continue to do so with my current one. The staff and vets are Deaf-friendly, so they know how to communicate effectively with their Deaf clients (including ASL/sign language, texting, and writing back and forth). There's no where else I would rather take my furbabies for their vet care!Amy Leone R.Amy Leone R. ★★★★★ Have always received the highest level of care for my animals from my little chinchilla and guinea pigs to my dog and everything in between.Robert F.Robert F. ★★★★★ I have several pets so we visit the clinic often. We moved to the area just over a year ago and started using Pine Point. I love all the doctors and the staff are all very friendly and professional. They really care about my furkids and anytime I have a question I know they will get back to me asap. .Sherry H.Sherry H. ★★★★★ All the staff and doctors are amazing!!!!!Mia Y.Mia Y. ★★★★★ It was a great visit!Russ B.Russ B. ★★★★★ if you're looking for rabbit care, stop searching bc you found the place!I brought my 13 year old bunny to a place bc he was super congested and sneezing, and they chalked it up to a respiratory infection bc his oral exam on the spot looked fine.One day a handful of months later, he started drooling and didn't eat banana which is his FAVORITE, so I knew something was wrong.I brought him to Pine Point Animal Hospital where from the very start they treated Edward with amazing care. They got a towel and put it on the ground and opened the crate and let him come out on his own terms. They did an oral exam and they couldn't see anything glaring but said sedation would be needed to fully examine him. (Hello prey animal) Come to find out, he had extensive bone spurs on his back molars that were likely causing him severe pain. The surgeon called me after he was done filing them down and what I thought would be a quick call letting me know he was done, the call lasted 9 minutes with the surgeon taking his time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I feel so guilty that it got to the point of him drooling for him to finally get help bc of a bad first diagnosis! But I'm incredibly grateful to find this place!Chelsea A.Chelsea A. ★★★★★ Love this vet! Started by bringing our three rats here and ended up switching our cats over to them as well since they were so awesome! Dr. Anne especially is so knowledgeable and compassionate and also listens to any concerns you may have as an owner. We unfortunately had to put down two of our rats here and the care they gave to us and our little ladies at the end of their life was amazing. Their vet techs are the sweetest! I wish I could remember your names because I would shout you out you made an awful day much more bearable.Maddie S.Maddie S. ★★★★☆ Used to be a regular here, but hard now that Dr. Katie isn't there as she was the best. Luckily I don't have to go very often. Reception are compassionate.Kristien K.Kristien K.js_loader

I have been bringing my dogs to Dr Ann and Dr Katie for years!  In fact I followed them from Portland to their practice in Scarborough.  I pass a lot of vet offices on the way there, and I don’t think twice about it. Pine Point Animal hospital is a great little place to bring your family pets

Todd Z.

I am so grateful for Pine Point Animal Hospital. Dr. Ann Barksdale is so knowledgeable and kind, the staff is welcoming and thoughtful. I live in Portland but the combination of expertise and hospitality make Pine Point Animal Hospital an easy drive.
