About East Boston Animal Hospital

Dr. James R. Sawyers began managing the East Boston, South Boston and Revere Pet Clinics in 1980. In 1987, he purchased all three pet clinics and started the Boston Veterinary Associates, Inc. and transformed them from out-patient clinics to full service in-patient animal hospitals.

In 2004, Dr. Sawyers incorporated both the Revere and East Boston Animal Clinics into one full service hospital and created The East Boston Animal Hospital, complete with a surgical suite, X-Ray facility and on site diagnostic laboratory.

In 2006, with the closing of the Chelsea Animal Clinic, Dr. Turner Lewis entrusted his patients to the care of Dr. Sawyers adding the Chelsea Animal Clinic patients to the East Boston Animal Hospital family.

Dr. Sawyers has raised the general practice veterinary clinic to a family practice with modern technology while still keeping the same neighborhood feel that we have prided ourselves on since 1984.
