    Comments: Dr Mayer is an excellent exotics-only vet and is very sensitive to the animal's condition and comfort. He was very helpful during our bun's cancer treatments. Recommended without any reservations.

    Comments: Dr. Hartman is wonderful. The local House Rabbit Rescue chapter uses her and she specialized in rabbits at Tufts. Her prices are a little on the high side, but she is excellent and they also board our beautiful buns. -- Sherri
    My bunnies just love them both! The first thing Liz did when she met Peanut (a mini-rex) was to lean over and rub Peanut with her (Liz's) face!! -- Gail

    Comments: Dr. Weinstein truly loves what he does and it shows, especially with bunnies. His expertise and knowledge is so helpful in taking care of my "children". I completely trust him and the staff of VCA Wakefield in the care of my bunnies. One of my buns needed surgery to remove kidney stones 3 weeks ago. I am happy to say he has already completely recovered from the surgery and is back to his bossy self again.

you can cross off Dr Naun she hasn't worked there in years,

Dr Anita Trom is one of the owners so is very much still working there.

And there is a new vet who sees rabbits as well as GP's ferrets etc her name is Dr Erin Doyle.:D

pretty much Dr Doyle covers the first half the week and Dr Trom the last half of the week a few days they overlap.
 
Dr. Lynn
Wayland Animal Clinic
(508) 653-1096

By her own admission, she isnt a rabbit specialist, but she is definitely rabbit savvy. She was recommended by General's (our rabbit) breeder.

Earlier this year, General was very sick with GI. She nursed him back to health. She saw him every day, even staying late some days to make sure he got the right care, and she followed up a couple of times over the weeks that followed to make sure he was doing OK. General's health was definitely very important to her.

New England Wildlife Center

Also known as the "Odd Pet Vet", Dr. Mertz specializes in rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles. His prices are also cheaper than those of a regular vet hospital.
 
Dr. Kruse, VCA Wakefield

781-

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Kruse and her staff. My 10 month old Holland Lop is an extremely rowdy bunny who isvery difficult to handle.He has teeth issues, so he will need to see a vet on a regular basis. The vet which I brought my bunny to prior was knowledgeable but not skilled at handlingfast, kicking,aggressivebunnies. The experience, naturally, was both traumatic for myself and my bunny, and the struggle to be set free resulted in him breaking a toe nail and limping for a day:(. The thought of putting my bunny through the stress of visits like that on a routine basis was heartbreaking.

Then, I found Dr. Kruse, and I wasshocked at her ability to calm my bunny and completely transform him into an obeyinglittle guy!The routine went smoothly, she was able to clip his nails, and took time to discuss ways in which I can work with him to make him more accepting to being handled. Dr. Kruse completely changed my mindset on vet visits, and I will trust her for all of my bunnies medical needs. I highly recommend that anyone in the area do the same, she is truly a wonderful vet.
 
I would like to second the recommendation for Joerg Mayer - he was not only knowledgeable and patient with us, he as the only vet Miss Hoppy ever saw that she did not try to bite.

Elizabeth Hartman was our regular vet, and she and Janet Tast both saw Miss Hoppy several times, and I had a hard time convincing them that Miss Hoppy was not a wild bunny, nor a vicious one - she just hated being at the vet's office, and would leap from her carrier to try to escape from them. Both they and their staff were bitten by my bunny, which I chalk up to the fact that they smelled funny, worked in a loud place and touched her places she did not want to be touched. They were fine vets, and very knowledgeable about bunnies.

When we saw Joerg Mayer for the first time, Miss Hoppy instantly knew he was a bunny friend, never tried to bite or scratch him, and was very calm while he examined her. It was amazing. He treated her for a thymoma, and did a wonderful job.

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, told me everything I wanted to know about Peppy's neuter without even having to ask.
 
Tufts Veterinary School is in North Grafton, quite close to Worcester actually. I would call them, as they were fabulous with my bunny ... and I saw several birds going in during my times in the waiting room while my bunny had her chemo.
 
Thanks but I would only use tufts in a emergency as going there would mean living in a card board box under 290 that's the highway in Worcester. Lol but honestly if it came to a bunny I would go to good vet just not tufts for a check up.
 
Dr. McGee at the Lichtenberg Vetrinary Hospital. It is in Pelham and I got my rabbit neutered there. She was very helpful and good with my rabbit. We left there at ten o'clock and he was ready to be picked up at one. He is recovering quickly!
