“Her commitment to quality patient care is exceptional. She is an excellent communicator and our clients have been very happy.”
“Dr. Longo has been working with us since February of 2020. As the managing veterinarian of two practices, the thing I appreciate most about Dr. Longo is that she truly cares about the way our practice runs as a whole. She goes over and above to help train staff and and positively contribute to the day-to-day procedures. In this year of dealing with so many necessary changes due to COVID concerns, Dr. Longo has been a wonderful asset to our practice and has done much to contribute to new protocols and safety measures. I am grateful to work with her and would recommend her services without reservation.”
Dr. Catherine Turberville,
Managing Veterinarian
“Colony Animal Clinic has been truly blessed to have Dr. Longo be a part of our staff. She is a kind and compassionate veterinarian who provides excellent care for her patients, whether it be in a wellness exam, a complex medical case or a surgery where attention to detail is imperative. Dr. Longo’s heart and mind are always focused on what needs to be done to ensure the animals who are entrusted to her care have the best outcome possible. She is a mentor to our staff and goes above and beyond the call of duty to teach in a patient and professional manner. Dr. Longo is a team player who gets along with everyone and our clients are always happy with her care. Colony is grateful to have her at our clinic any time we’re fortunate enough to get her and l would highly recommend her if you are in need of a relief vet for your practice.”

OWNER/MANAGER, COLONY ANIMAL CLINIC
What do clients say?
“Dr. Longo rocks! I have known her for many years. She is a super vet who is extremely caring and compassionate. I got to know her while working cat TNR for the SPCA. She has also been one of my vets for the many senior Boston Terriers I have fostered.”
“Dr. Longo isn’t just a vet… She is a loving, caring family member that is loved by all of us. Ellie May (my dog) and Dr. Longo’s relationship was the greatest. All I had to say to her is ‘Want to go see Dr. Longo?’ and she would go straight to the car and jump in! Dr. Longo’s love and caring relationship meant the world to Ellie and me.”
I know your vet practice is precious to you.
I’ll work well with your staff, empathize with your clients and treat your patients as if they were my pets.
Your practice deserves a relief vet with earnest priorities like a warm bedside manner, gracious communications with staff and clients, and effective time management skills.
