We have been clients of Sakonnet for over 30 years (6 dogs, 3 cats, 5 rats). This group has become very difficult to work with. Leslie has hung up on me multiple times. No two people can give the same information. I am definitely changing veterinary services as soon as possible. Don't bother trying to work with these folks. They have limited accreditation and are simply rude beyond belief. Edit: based on the owners response you can see how little they care.
When you get hung up on multiple times by a rude receptionist over a 45 minute period of time, one gets a bit testy. Pass on the sarcasm as well. Based on the other comments here, they're just a joke. Bless your heart. Bah hah ha ha. JOKE!

I accompanied my sister for her dog to get her third series of shots. The hospital has made clinics very convenient. Customers wait in their cars with their pets and check in via phone call or text message. A representative collects the pet from the parking lot when its queue number is up, so we did not need to enter the building or worry about her dog seeing other pets. The service was efficient and safe. Afterwards, the rep brought the dog back; she was so calm afterwards, we know they took great care of her.

I've been bringing my dog to this vet for the last 7 years and have always had a great experiences with the vets and tech staff until Dr Maria Reinhardt came on. I have no doubt she is knowledgeable, however, she is rude, seems burnt out, and has absolutely no bedside manner-you'll leave there feeling like any issue with your dog is your fault because of her. Also, between COVID and construction/renovation I have been unable to accompany my dog inside which only increases the anxiety that he is experiencing, especially since the check ups are happening in a back room where there is much activity going on between people and animals.
I've been told by Reinhardt that I now need to drug and muzzle my dog upon visits when I NEVER had issues with my dog behavior at the vet, at home, or anywhere for that matter until she came along. Unfortunately, at no fault to the amazing techs that work there, I will be changing vets until Dr. Reinhardt is gone. I'm disgusted by the service she had provided and am fully considering driving 40 mins to see Dr. Middleton whom used to treat my dog at Sakonnet.

I have been taking my pets to Sakonnet Vets for a very long time. It's good to have a platform now to say how wonderful they are. The Doctor's and staff are knowledgeable and very compassionate. The are also very prompt to get you anything you need. I know when I need to take my pets to Sakonnet that they are in good hands. I won't go anywhere else.

I absolutely love this veterinary clinic. They are always so efficient and helpful. They don't over treat or try to sell you things your pup doesn't need. The vet takes time to talk to you and explain and she follows up. The assistant staff are always kind, caring and friendly. I feel very lucky to be here. Easy access location from Bristol, RI also (avoiding 114 and Metacom going towards Warren). Highly recommend !
