I purchased 2 himalayan kittens from a so called breeder in Rockford with a certificate of health signed by Dr V Shapiro documenting they were free from any apparent signs of contagious or infectious disease. I made an appointment the next day for a health exam for both kittens with my Vet. One kitten was diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur and both kittens were diagnosed with a highly contagious parasitic intestinal fecal infection called Giardia. Anyone with any common sense knows you cannot tell if an animal is free from any infectious contagious disease, especially Giardia just by looking at them and not ordering appropriate testing which requires a stool specimen for ova and parasites. Upon calling the office to question him, he raised his voice with some Russian accent and asked me if I could understand English.I can understand English perfectly but my question to you Dr. Shapiro is: How did you EVER get a license to practice Veterinary medicine??? Customers and animal loversBEWARE !!!! Moral of the story.....there are many excellent Vets out there that are competent, qualified, compassionate, professional and genuinely care about the animals they treat without taking your money and delivering subtherapeutic, inappropriate care to your pet, so stay away from this character! Avoid the Belarus cat breeder in Rockford as well!

I have never wrote a review on anything and this experience was just the worst. My grandpa was a long time patient and we brought our dog in to be put down. We were very sad as it is and when we got there we didn’t even get to go to a room or get privacy. The doctor came out with a syringe to put him to sleep right out in the lobby. I have never seen anything like that. I had to ask to say goodbye to him in private. Not only that but they just didn’t have any empathy or act like they care about anything. Walking in the whole office smelled strongly of cigarettes. Very disappointed and sad. Don’t bring your pet here.

Helped a friend’s cat that almost died from an attack, but worked with the owner on the coat due to budgetary issues!

I am immensely grateful for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Shapiro and Nurse Natalya at the Animal Health clinic. They demonstrated unparalleled dedication before, during, and after my cat’s surgery. Their expertise, compassion, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Thanks to their efforts, my beloved pet’s life was saved. I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding service and genuine. The professionalism and warmth exhibited by both Dr. Shapiro and Natalya made a challenging time much more manageable. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry friends.

Came here for an exam and told the vet that my dog had heart murmurs. All he did was check my dogs heart with a stethoscope, told me he had heart murmurs, and said that he can recommend a specialist who can ultrasound his heart for 500 dollars. The appointment was less than 5 minutes and they didn’t even give him his exam. Just put him on a scale and charged me 60 dollars. The vet also went outside to smoke twice in the five minutes I was there. If you really love your animal, go to a different vet.

Very bad service over phone. My dog needed to see a vet and the person who answered phone said “she is pretty sure it wasn’t a emergency and my pet can wait till tomorrow! Worst phone service I’ve had !

Interesting experience for sure that has even led me to write a negative review for the first time. I personally like having a vet that takes the time to examine my pets and doesn’t spend time outside smoking a cigarette. The lady in front was giving attitude in response to the questions I was asking even though as a pet owner I should rightfully so ask. I also find alarming that upon entering the exam room with my pets I see the counter scattered with medicines everywhere even syringes out in the open not disposed of properly. I have friends who’ve gone to vets where they are given the proper treatment but this vet was just not it. I would recommend people to not bring their pets here and find a better veterinarian that truly cares for your pets. Our animals deserve the proper care and attention from a veterinarian. Stay away from this veterinary clinic.

I agree with another yelp review I read about this veterinary clinic. I agree that there is poor social and language skills And I entirely agree with professional demeanour from both the lady in front and the veterinarian as well.
