"I am so happy I moved our pets over to Holmes Family Veterinary Clinic. I feel that the care they are getting is more hands on and thorough. Both Dr. Holmes and Dr. Fiske, as well as the technicians, are able to read my pets' needs, both physically and mentally, and are willing to adjust their approach accordingly. Having a timid rescue dog, that is so important to us. I can tell everyone truly cares about the well being of our animals, and that means everything to my family. "

"We brought in our cat, Sheba, for a recurring eye infection. Dr. Holmes was off and we met with Dr. Fiske. We were very impressed at how kind she was with our cat. She diagnosed her infection as herpes related and gave us a steroid gel to be administered 2x per day along with the Vetri Lysine Chews. I'm happy to report that Sheba's eye is 100% better and keeping our fingers crossed that the Chews will have to keep it at bay. Love the entire staff at the Holmes Family Vet and Dr. Fiske is a great addition."

- Glenn G.

"Rocky's first visit was great. Dr. Fiske and Morgan took the time to answer all of my questions both during the visit as well as some preliminary questions over the phone, and took great care of Rocky in person. I am grateful for the fantastic care my dogs get when they come in. Every single person we deal with on a visit is pleasant and helpful. My absolute favorite thing about Holmes Family Vet is that my dogs are treated with love and respect, every visit, no matter what. There is something really special about the staff and the way this establishment operates. I could sing their praises for days!! "

- Stacey W.

"Another excellent experience at Holmes Family Veterinary Clinic. Everything runs so smoothly, everybody knows what they are doing and the levels of expertise, patience and kindness both with the patient and owner, know no bounds. I thank my lucky stars for Karen Holmes and her team on an ongoing basis. "

- Beth H.


"The fact that I continue to bring Phinney to the HFVC should tell you that our experience at the clinic has been wonderful. I've only ever been to one other vet clinic -- where I first met Dr. Holmes -- and she has been terrific with my birds. I'm amazed at the wonderful staff she has put together at her own clinic. All are not only professional but I love the way they interact with Phinney. On the two occasions that he has had to stay for 10 days he doesn't seem to have missed me at all LOL. And I fared just as well as he knowing that he was not only getting excellent care but was also getting lots of love and attention."

- Joan G.


"I love bringing Otto there. He is an extremely anxious dog but he also doesn't mind coming there. He stays very calm. I think that is because the overall mood there is welcoming, warm and friendly. So happy to have found you, and at this point I would never go anywhere else. I have started recommending you to friends also!"

- Pam & Glenn F.


"I currently have three pets - all different species - who are patients of Holmes Family Veterinary. I have never had a bad experience here, and today was no different. I love the staff, I appreciate the care my pets are provided, and I recommend the clinic to everyone."

"I feel Dr Holmes knows me and my chihuahuas well. She provides a thorough exam and offers good advice to aid me in caring for my pets. She is knowledgable in her field. She is respectful of the humans' opinions and pet care style. My dogs respond well to her and tend to behave during their exam.."

- Debora W.


"wonderful experience treated very respectfully. Answered all my questions"

- Valerie L.


"Missy's enthusiastic embrace of me and the fact that I was an excited expectant master was a start. Her enthusiastic personal introduction closed the deal. What put it over the top is the way everyone responded when Mija came in for her first visit. Everyone was so attentive and reacted with compassion, speed and competence. What more could I ask. You helped save her life. You people clearly love animals, and have their care first. I am grateful to have found you. "

"First visit last week and this takes me out of my way to see a vet recommended specifically to us as more aligned with us philosophically. Everyone I encountered couldn't have been more pleasant, tuned in and genuinely caring. A welcome find in this day and age. "

- Mary H.


"My recent visit was great!! Dr. Fiske was very pleasant, took her time with Sergei, she answered all of my questions and concerns. She recommended we check him for thyroid because she has some concerns, which I felt very confident in her decision. Sergei was very calm with her and her help! I wouldn't hesitate to come back here!! Everyone is great!!"

- Jean K.


"Service was amazing. I heard about you from the cashiers at the Pet Smart in Walpole because we just adopted a bird and needed a lot of help on how to really take care of it. They told me that this was the place to go. The staff was so sweet and Dr. Holmes gave me so much information that I felt very secure about going home and taking care of our new pet family member. "

- Marjorie B.


"Wonderful! You can see how Dr. Holmes truly Loves animals and People! That is the most important benefit after the Great Care that she gives. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I would recommend her Clinic to any one who has a pet. "

"Dr. Holmes' passion for animals' wellbeing is infectious and the whole place has a great vibe. The staff is very professional yet I feel like I am being welcomed into their home when I arrive. I have tremendous confidence in Dr. Holmes' ability and know that my pets will receive the very best care. "

- Judy B.


"There is none better than Dr. Holmes...and the staff reflects HER standards and values...I could have picked a VET 15 minutes from my home...but I choose to drive more than 15 miles to get the best bird care...and equally compassionate care... for the humans they own."

- Nancy R.


"We have known Karen Holmes, DVM for 11 years now. She is the only vet who has ever cared for Petey, our Blue and Gold Macaw. I can't see how anyone else could do a better job. Large parrots like Petey present special challenges with respect to handling them during an examination. Dr. Holmes is ever careful and confident when handling Petey. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Holmes and trust her opinion implicitly. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for an Avian Vet."
