Ever since he can remember, Dr. Hammerschmidt wanted to work in a challenging profession that allowed him to help others. Veterinary medicine was the perfect way to combine his interest in science with his passion for pet care! Now he's a full-time veterinarian and the owner of South Shore Veterinary Hospital.
Your pet relies on you for daily needs such as food, shelter, safety and to take care of things when they go wrong. That includes making sure he or she stays happy and healthy for as many years as possible. At South Shore Veterinary Hospital, we'd like to assist you in achieving this important goal.
I want to take a moment and thank Dr. Hammerschmidt and his team for the last 15 + years of caring for my animals. We have built quite a relationship and trust each others judgment. You have shown compassion, expertise, and your unconditional love throughout the years and I have trusted you with making sound decisions regarding my fur family.
We're proud to offer state-of-the-art medical facilities and a warm, safe and welcoming environment that is designed to provide your pet with very the best available veterinary care. We invite you to take a virtual tour and get to know our facilities and we hope that you'll decide to join us as a part of our extended family!.

Our senior dog dislocated her hip after jumping off the couch. We just moved here out of state and hadn’t established a new vet. We were turned away by several vets and hospitals because it wasn’t “life threatening” except South Shore. Not only were they able to get us in the next morning when I called them right before they closed the night before, but they also called us earlier in the morning to let us know there was a cancellation and asked if we wanted to come in early. They took exceptional care of our dog and were very straight forward with options and potential outcomes both good

I highly recommend them. Each and every vet in this practice cares, they listen to you and help in every way they can. I have a dog that is reactive that they handle with professionalism and make sure that the visit goes smoothly for her. They are great with her and my other 2 love the office. The front desk is very professional as well

Dr. Mollie Spillett and Christina are simply amazing. Long story short, my cat needed a health certificate so that she could fly with us to Hawaii. About 3 weeks away from my flight, the vet that I had, all of a sudden, told me that she was not authorized to do the health certificate. I was scrambling to try find a vet that is available and is authorized to do the health certificate. Fortunately, I've found the South Shore Veterinary Hospital and talked to Christina. She was able to squeeze me in 9 days before my flight. She was extremely helpful and told me all the things that I needed to prepare

I have a dog and a cat seen by the vets or techs. They are always professional and take the time necessary to ensure you understand the information regarding your pet. I feel confident entrusting the care of my loved animals to them. I am grateful I learned of this practice. I’d also like to say that the staff at the front desk are always friendly and accommodating.

They work pretty hard to get your pet seen, even in this insane day-and-age. My pet is always treated kindly and I am always pleased with their services. All the vets are great—we’ve seen them all!

I have been using the vet office for many many years. They always go above and beyond. The doctors are amazing and take all the time you need to explain things, repeat things, check back on things. The attention to detail and personalized treatment and care is second to none. I can not say enough about how great they are.

Wonderful group of veterinarians. Office staff is friendly and professional. Belle has been with them for years. The vets listen to what you say about your fur baby and aren't pushy about treatments. They are very good about nervous pet patients.
