Words from Dr. Magnuson

Growing up on a farm in Minnesota has given me a strong sense of family and the knowledge that it takes a village to reach a common goal. My passion has always been taking care of animals, ever since I was 4 years old. I dreamed of being a veterinarian and owning my own practice. When the veterinarian came to our farm, I would rush out to help him and pray that he would let me stay and watch. Oftentimes, animals would die because vaccines did not exist to protect against many infectious diseases. This was a defining moment for me.

After graduating college, I worked in vaccine development and created those vaccines to save animals. From there, I went on to graduate school to study genetics. Soon after, I attended and graduated veterinary school. I moved to New Hampshire to complete an internship, where I met my husband and then launched a house call practice while we raised two beautiful daughters together. I launched Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital at the same time my third daughter was born. It then all came together for me; I was living my dream and fulfilling my life’s passion!

Today, we have three full-service hospitals across southern New Hampshire, all of which share the same standards of care and philosophy. I encourage you to learn about us here on our website, our Facebook page, and by stopping by for a tour and to say hello. Our motto is “Trust Our Family with Your Family,” and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Such a welcoming place! Everyone took lots of time and were so thorough with our dogs evaluation. And then we were given options and prices so there were no surprises. We’ll keep going – for sure!

I wanted to find an office that was knowledgeable about rabbits as many offices I looked at focus on larger animals. The entire staff made me feel at ease that Beta was in good hands. I’m looking forward to continue bringing him to Greenland Veterinary Hospital.

- Brittany W.
Greenland Vet was excellent with getting me in quickly and having extended hours that work around my schedule. They were excellent to me and my cat, great at listening and explaining what they thought was going on. I was a little surprised with how expensive the visit was though.

- Laura C.
Thanks so much for welcoming us back to the GVH family! It is so comforting to have your team helping us through it all.

- - Karen B.
We are very happy to have been referred to this veterinary hospital. Always so nice and great handling our four/legged family.

- Anne M.
Had a good first visit with my dog. He can be challenging/noisy and frightened, but the vet used a nice soothing voice talking to him. He even gave her a kiss. Looking forward to getting his teeth cleaned and checked out to prolong his life.

- Amy B.
I was very nervous while waiting for my rabbit’s results, the veterinarian reassured me, and explained everything to me to calm my worries

- Samantha B.
Everyone on the staff is totally engaged with both the owners and pets. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

- Kim and David W.
The staff is just great, so helpful and accommodating! Dr.Giusto was fantastic. I usually have Dr. Hale but had Dr. Giusto as Dr. Hale was off that day. I love Dr. Hale and was a bit reluctant to have another doctor but I am so glad I did. It s good to know that they are both wonderful!

- Joann
I have brought my pets to Greenland Vet for years. They treat me and my pet like family. Excellent care and explanations of issues and treatment plans. Everyone from the front desk to the veterinarians is knowledgeable and kind.

- Jeanette D.
Dr. Hale always takes the time to answer my questions no matter how silly or off they may be. She is extremely knowledgeable about our large breed sighthound and never hesitates to share her knowledge with us and at the same time is very open to any ideas about care we bring her way. Thanks Dr. Hale for everything you do for us and our furry family members!

- Tanya N.
I like that they are personal with my pet, like they really care about it.

- Luis
The help that the vet has provided for my cat has really made him feel better and restore his appetite and energy during the course of his antibiotic. Thank you so much! I was very happy and reassured with the professional advice and recommendations.

- Nicole P.
We are so thankful to Dr. Hale and everyone at Greenland vet. We were just in for a routine visit for my lovely old dog, which at his age can be less than routine. Everyone was so nice and Dr. Hale took the time to personally call and explain his lab results. Can’t recommend enough!

- Shannon G.
As usual my parrot loves everyone at Greenland Veterinarian and most of the time she doesn’t want to leave. My Jewel is a gift from Heaven and I couldn’t have picked a better place to take her for care.

Everyone was efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. They did everything possible to help my cat. She is much better and getting ready for surgery on Tuesday. I will follow up on her recovery and thank you to everyone who made her feel better.

I loved how invested the whole staff was in my little lady! The vet answered all my questions with no rushing through the appointment, and they followed up within 24 hours to make sure she was feeling better. This will be my vet as long as I m in the area.

Since the 1980 s I have taken my my pets to different Vets, but Greenland Vet staff are the most caring, helpful, sincere people I have ever met. I wouldn t go to any other office.
Sincerely,

- Shirley B.
Everything went smoothly, thoroughly, and with the greatest concern for my lovebird. Her siblings will be having their first visit also in the near future.

I appreciate the updates for Bailey s health. Thank you and your staff. Happy New Year.

- Alice K.
I have had animals my whole life, and have lived in a few different places, and I have been to many offices, and have worked with many veterinarians, but I have never been to an office that you are always made to feel so welcome every time, and where they love animals as much as I do. The office treats people and animals with the utmost respect. We are very lucky to have found Greenland Veterinary Hospital!

- Lisa H.
My cat had a very sore paw, and they got him right him, and diagnosed the issue and provided a reasonable action plan. Very friendly, accommodating, no waiting. Great place!

- Penny H.
The staff is really friendly and engaging! I enjoyed my time in the office and I appreciate the emails checking in on my pet. Great job! :)
