My puppy Suzie was seen today for her first visit with Rt. 20 Animal Clinic, 5/2/2025 for a health check, to be chipped, her nails trimmed and a few medical shots. Suzie is 3 months of age but I鈥檝e only had her a very short time, about 5 weeks now. I could not possibly be happier with her new Dr., Nicholas Kotsopopoulos, than I am right now while this visit is at his facility @ 84 Southwest Cutoff, Worcester MA. 01604 The staff as soon as I walked into the receptionist area, I was greeted with the nicest smile and the lady at the reception desk, with care, her accommodations, she paid such attention to our new puppy, so complimentary, she took our information and double checked by the added little notes I had written on the papers, I had received where Suzie had been purchased and where her first shot were administered. She was completely thorough at setting up all correct information in the system. Frequently admiring our newest little fluffy puppy. The wait time was minimal, and once Dr Nicholas Kotsopopoulos announced Suzie, my husband & I went into a very organized clean exam room, my first time meeting Dr. Nicolas K., but my husband has been a client for several years always returning to him and his care for our furry kids care . I worked hours that I hadn鈥檛 accommodated hours for vet visits. Now I can鈥檛 say enough of what I had missed not attending our pets office visits, He is the kindest, most caring man I ever could of possibly sought after, I鈥檓 so thankful for all the care he did give our past pets, which are now all but our Cat Jaspuur and our new puppy Suzie, have gone into The 馃寛 Bridge. Our Suzie received a thorough full examination, which was completed with question and answers n what treat or no treats for the growth of our puppy, he asked about the food we feed her, he removed dewclaws, inserted a microchip in her and she made a peep, I鈥檇 expected much more resistance from Suzie, but He Dr. K and his associate gave such care of her, I already set up her next appointments, the Dr. explained her tests will be sent out to a lab as expected and will email me results unless any issue arises, then he鈥檇 call us at home. We also spoke of her training to be continued, the use of peepad training also, and outside care, We live in an area of farms, a lot of woodland and ponds and with that ticks, mosquitoes etc, I also asked about her being age appropriate for a specific tick n flea collar and Dr. K agreed she is within the right age and weight for this specific flea collar , which he also carried right there in his facility! I again having just met him will not seek another care for Suzie and continued care for Jaspuur. I鈥檓 blown away with the entire staff, I had the pleasure of meeting, the care of excellence, the knowledge and care & advise I asked for and agreed with his opinion, yet still being allowed to make my own decisions and I in total agreement with his opinion, which is what I鈥檝e already been trying and hearing his opinion made me feel 100% satisfied, and knowing Suzie is off to a great start from the top of her pretty head to the bottom of her toes ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY, and Dr. Ks Care and his staff, I look forward to every visit for many many years ! Robert & BarbaraJean Blood

Dr. Nick is amazing!! I have been bringing my dog there for years, even after moving. He is the best! Always provides reassurance and guidance, with a calming character. He is so kind and caring. I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I appreciate him and his team so much!

I just cannot say enough about Route 20 Animal Clinic, Dr. Nick Kotsopolous, and staff, especially Colleen. My parents and I have been taking our pets to the clinic for over 20 years. Dr. Nick is so caring, patient, and understanding. Often he's returning calls until 8pm and has given his personal cell phone number if there are any issues post sedation, regardless of procedure. From tumor removal surgery to dental cleaning he calls to check on our pets. He will also ask about how my parents are doing and their pets when I go for a visit with mine. Colleen is fantastic with grooming. My long haired cats would get shaved in the summer so they were more comfortable and she always made them look so adorable and smell so nice. She's also so kind and compassionate, plus prompt with returning calls. If there is a specialized surgery Dr. Nick can't do, he has always referred me to excellent surgeons. For end of life issues, the staff are above and beyond caring and loving. This doctor truly seems to love his work and it will be such a loss whenever he does retire. Comparable rates, prompt response, varied services, excellent care. If you want an excellent veterinarian, Dr. Nick Kotsopolous at The Route 20 Animal Clinic is the one to see.

I have tried a few vets since coming here from Ireland 18 years ago, and I have to say Dr. Nick Kotsopoulos is absolutely wonderful. I have always had my own animals, rescue dogs and I also have a dog daycare/boarding business. Dr Nick has always seen me asap, compared to the owner's own vets, who could leave me waiting for two or three days for an appointment. I was very fortunate to find such a great vet. His staff have always been professional, sympathetic and v helpful. I hope he will be around for many more years.

I will never go to another vet! Dr. Nick is so thorough during examinations and always takes the time to check out and listen to any concerns I have. He also always calls to follow up and check on my cat or dog after procedures or if they were seen for not feeling well, which is so appreciated. He truly cares about his patients!
