Heart of Chelsea Veterinary Group - Chelsea

Apologies for the length, but how do you show appreciation for 23 years of extraordinary care without a lot of words. When you’re a pet parent, your obligations to these beloved furry members of the family are quite simple - make them very happy, treat them very well, and make sure their medical needs are very well taken care of. I became a client of Heart of Chelsea many years ago. Little did I know then that my choice of vet would ensure that my kids would be getting the very best care from the most loving and experienced people. The staff, from front desk, vet techs, doctors and the lovely people who ensure the hospital is spotless are family to me and my pets. Over the years they have all been there from the routine to emergencies and so importantly, the agonizing times of a long-term

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Leuthold. While she was not my puppy’s original vet, when he had an incident where he broke a bone in his paw she was exactly what both my puppy and I needed. She is warm, kind, helpful, patient, and thorough. She constantly checked on me and Teddy (my puppy) after sending us home from the initial incident. After almost every visit, she made it a priority to call and check in on his progress/behavior the following day. With his break, he needed to be back every three to five days and Dr Leurhhold made sure to make herself available. She made us feel so comfortable and like a number one priority. She is truly the best as is Dr Van Voorhees who originally saw my dog before the accident. I could not speak more highly of Dr Leuthold or Dr Van Voorhees - hi

Heart of Chelsea is the best. I’ve had my share of experiences at other vets and I must say they can’t compare to heart of Chelsea. My experience is always so good from the beginning to the end. Everybody is so friendly and very professional! I love them all! I trust them with all my babies!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Tu highly enough. She is not only an exceptional veterinarian, but also a highly skilled behaviorist, and I feel incredibly lucky to work with her in both capacities. When I brought my recent rescue, Lumi, to see her, she took an extraordinary amount of time getting to know Lumi and me, taught me things I genuinely hadn’t learned elsewhere, and offered thoughtful, real-world recommendations that felt practical, compassionate, and effective. She is incredibly responsive, and I received a detailed report right away, which made an immediate difference in how confidently I could move forward. The trust she has built is so strong that I am now bringing my second dog, Gracie—who has been seeing a vet I adore for five years—to Dr. Tu as well. I truly can’t recommend her eno

- Excellent doctors (recommend Dr. Bassman), excellent techs, excellent front office staff, excellent management. No exceptions, which is rare. - Facility is kept immaculate without feeling sterile. - Very transparent pricing. - Their “Fear Free” handling can really make a difference, especially for older or vulnerable cats that can actually get sicker from stress. - Management and staff have always been responsive to even minor feedback. - Handling of insurance is seamless. Never have to even think about it. After 5+ years of having 3 cats at Heart of Chelsea (2 routine/healthy cats, one who went through an uncommon illness) we couldn’t be happier and have never been disappointed. It’s a 25 minute trip for us, but easily worth it. If you want to keep a healthy pet healthy, or have exce
