I'm looking for a "low cost" vet. hospital, specializing in eye surgery for dogs, ....A vet thats not in it to make a huge profit like most vets are. There is a "low cost" clinic in fall river mass called Faxon animal hospital, it is a non profit organization, and they are wonderful, but they dont do extensive surgery, it is more of a wellness clinic, ....spay, neuter, etc.....I am looking to have a caterac removed from my dogs eye, but dont wish to spend 1000.00, as i cant afford it, if i had it, i'd do without hesitation. Can anyone recommend a clinic or vet in the southeastern part of massachusetts, or even Providence RI area.

Why not ask your vet for a referral to Tuffs University Veterinary college. It's in Boston. They have great doctors there and the cost is reasonable. See if he can recommend someone to you there.

I think you are going to have a really hard time finding a specialist that will do a low cost procedure. This is not something that a regular vet would normally do. generally, you need a specialist, and they are expensive. This is also not a rare procedure, so that a teaching hospital would be interested.
I have been to Cornell and Tufts MANY times and I can tell you that both are VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

look around for veterinary university in your state. I am from canada and I know a lot of people go to saskatchewan for surgies because they have the best veterinary school and the cost isn't usually as high

Tufts is NOT cheap, but should have info for you on lower-cost vets, or should offer care credit where you can finance it.
