Berkshire vets is a godsend I found them years ago when I had an emergency and I moved all my animals there and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. They do overnight we do surgery they do emergencies they have been great for us

Response to vet: yes I do have the correct vet. Despite being the one that would schedule/pay for both my dogs appointments when you were our vet. Because I gave my boyfriends information once everything is under his name despite asking for it to be corrected multiple times.
Writing a negative review for a vet is never any easy thing do as this is an incredibly difficult line of work and here in the Berkshires we have limited vets. However, after multiple negative experiences here the last straw was them suggesting we put our 5 year old dog down when they were experiencing IVDD because it would be expensive. When the chance of a full recovery was 90% with surgery. They didnt even want to help us find a facility that could treat our dog. Thankfully after calling around other vets helped us find a place that was able to treat our dog, who is already walking again.

When Dr. Michael King was at Berkshire Vet, I felt safe bringing both of my dogs there. He was kind , compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable.
When Dr. King retired, I then began seeing Dr. Makuc who proved to be very knowledgeable, also.
Then COVID hit, and I was forced to accept whatever vet was available for an appointment. Enter Doctors Wolfhart and Hussy into my pup Lochans life. Neither one seemed to have a clue. When Lochan became seriously ill, Dr. Hussy took weeks and several office visits attempting to diagnose her. Unfortunately for my pup, I was stupid enough to trust this poor excuse for a vet. She finally admitted to having no clue as to what was wrong with Lochan and referred us to Upstate Veterinary Specialties. Alas it was too late even though Dr. Scott of UVS tried mightily to save her, phoning me twice daily to update me on her progress. I visited every day and was heartened by the support for both my pup and me shown by the staff. When Lochan was euthanized, they allowed me to spend hours sitting with her in a room with a sofa and other amenities before I signaled for the vet to come in. After Lochan passed, I remained with her there for another two hours. In short, they allowed me to stay there and grieve for as long as I needed. No rush just kindness.
Since UVS is not a facility for ongoing care, I had to find another vet for my current puppy Jackie. Based on a friends recommendation, I brought Jack to Greylock Animal Hospital in North Adams. Its a trek from where we livebut definitely worth it.
Bottom line here: Stay away from Berkshire Vet. In emergencies, go to Upstate Veterinary Specialties. For ongoing care, go to Greylock Animal Hospital.
