“We were visiting from out of town when my dog had an issue with his eye and was very uncomfortable. They got me in on the same day. They were so compassionate and helpful, and Dr. Mazolla answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. Thank you so much!”
“This staff is patient and empathetic to pets and guardians alike. I came in from Manhattan due to the high prices for dental work in my boy's regular clinic - at Baldwin Animal Clinic I got stellar care for a fraction of the price. The clinic is so convenient to the LIRR that I'm thinking of making it my boy's permanent vet home.”
“My dog Liberty got sick and a wonderful woman took me to this location and introduced me to the ladies here(Gale if you read this THANK YOU for what you did!!) The vet tech was originally just going to look her over because they didn't have an opening for the doctor at that moment but they managed to, what I assume, rearrange things/squeeze me in and took Liberty in to be seen by the doctor. Thank you so much for fitting Liberty in for an emergency visit! I absolutely highly recommend that if you need a vet, to come here! The ladies here are absolutely some of the most wonderful people I have ever met, very gentle with animals, and they take time with you to go over everything and explain everything in a way that you can understand.”
“Outstanding vet care!! Dr. Pagiazitis and the staff at south shore animal hospital are friendly respectful and very caring. In my opinion the best animal hospital in Nassau”
“Dr. Wallach is truly the vet everyone needs. He takes his time and speaks to you before and after seeing your pet and goes over diagnosis and prognosis in so much detail. I've transferred care from another vet in the area and have never looked back since! My dog Coco was in pain due to unknown causes and Dr. Wallach has been wonderful. He also really wants to make sure your pet is on the way to recovery and does a great job checking in on your pet after you're done! Thank you Dr. Wallach and Sharon at University Hospital.”
“I was so pleased that I could get a same day appointment for my feral cat who needed help. The vet tech was able to handle and pet him (to my surprise) and I felt confidant in their care. We will be going back.”
“It is rare to walk into a medical facility (animal or human) and truly feel that you are in capable, caring and compassionate hands. I found those attributes here at Long Island Animal Hospital with Dr. Krawczyk and his staff. We have been working with Dr. K for many years now and cannot express our appreciation for him and the staff at Long Island Animal Hospital enough. Dr. K and the staff are warm, compassionate, courteous, and professional. Beyond, Dr. K's veterinary knowledge, he has incredible bed-side manners.Our dog had a number of heath issues and Dr. K took care of her and us throughout the medications, procedures and more. When the dreaded moment of having to put our dog down came, Dr. K ensured the process was humane, gentle, compassionate and peaceful. It is difficult to express in words the appreciation we have for Dr. K and the staff at LI Animal Hospital for the time, compassion, communication and care of our beloved dog. Thank you, thank you!”
“I would recommend ER.Veterinary Hospital to anyone. Dr. Selkowitz and his staff are very professional compassionate,caring people. They provide excellent pet patient care and they truly care about both pets and pet parents.Dr. Selkowitz doesn't just treat patients, he explains things and teaches pet parents about what's going on. They live up to their saying that "Pets truly are members of the family"”
“Very POSITIVE Experience with Dr Ferber & his Wonderful Caring Pleasant Staff. As a rescue, I am in & out of vets offices all the time.
This place gets a BIG Thumbs Up ?? Thank You”
“This was my first experience with this office the were through with explaining what I should and shouldn't do with my dog and everyone was so nice and greeting to my family and my new dog.”
“Exceptional Dog Grooming /boarding ExperienceI recently had the pleasure of taking my furry friend to an outstanding dog groomer and boarding and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the service provided. From start to finish, it was evident that the groomer's love and care for animals were unmatched.Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the groomer, who immediately made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. The attention to detail and genuine affection shown towards my furry companion was truly heartwarming. It was clear that the groomer took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences.Throughout the grooming and boarding process, I was kept informed and involved. The groomer Jamie / owner hope patiently listened to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that my dog's grooming experience was tailored to perfection. The level of professionalism and expertise displayed was truly commendable.Not only did my dog come out looking absolutely fabulous, but I could also sense the genuine happiness radiating from them ( whole staff) It was evident that they had been treated with the utmost care and respect. The groomer's dedication to providing a safe and comfortable environment for all pets was truly remarkable.I highly recommend this dog groomer to anyone seeking exceptional service, love, and care for their furry companions. Their passion for animals shines through in every aspect of their work, and I am grateful to have found such a remarkable groomer. Thank you for making my dog's grooming experience a truly enjoyable one!”
“Had such a wonderful experience at the VCG-Glen Oaks. The staff was caring and thorough. They saved my cat’s life with a quick diagnosis where timing was critical. The office staff was always so caring to follow up on her progress after she was admitted to the hospital for emergency care. Cannot thank you enough (special thank you to Ana:) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!?”

2221 Hillside Ave., New Hyde Park“This place is great. They really care about cats. I have been to vets where all they want is your money. This place is far from that, and they want your cat to get better and do well.”
“Dr. Julie and Michelle both did an amazing job checking my stray cat that I took in. They were both so gentle and very patient with her. They also took extra care and extra time out of their day to give the stray cat a buzz due to the matted fur from living outdoors her whole life. Thankful for kind hearted vets who do above and beyond.”
“I am really glad I made the move from where I previously took my pets to PVMG (formerly CVA). The staff is compassionate and caring, which is incredibly important to a pet parent. They are professional and considerate and remember you. It seems this is true for most of the staff at their other locations, even over the phone, helping you make appointments at another clinic to get your pet in if they need more immediate service.
I would like to single out Dr. Frank DeFeis, who is one of the best veterinary doctors I have been to in the 30 years I have been a pet parent. He has treated three of my cats. One was originally diagnosed by two other doctors with cancer due to her nasal bleeding. Because I couldn't afford certain high-priced diagnostics (although the average market price for radiology across NYC vet clinics), he patiently tried various avenues with medicine and tests over a three-month period, and eventually, he found it was a bacterial infection, and cured it. My other cat, who does indeed have bone cancer, has been treated by Dr. DeFeis with love, kindness, and patience to keep him alive with quality of life while explaining everything along the way to me (and dealt with my quasi-hysteria over it). His use of herbology and acupuncture as well as traditional medicine has allowed me more time with my cat, and he has gone above and beyond to help a pet parent with anticipatory grief.
I cannot recommend him highly enough, and the office staff at both the Bayside site and the Forest Hills location have been incredibly compassionate. Thank you.
UPDATE:
I am also very grateful to Dr. Ottenbreit, who is also incredibly kind, caring and knowledgeable. She took over my pets' care when Dr. DeFeis moved to the main location. Her and Muhammad the main Vet Tech/Nurse (Veterinarian Reaident??) and the whole tean made my terminal cat's transition into spirit as loving and good a send off as one would hope. We put him to sleep yesterday, which is two months after my initial post. The staff were rooting for me and my pet family, and the tender care they gave us is forever appreciated.
If you care about your pets, take them here.

104 Cherry Valley Ave, West Hempstead“We have been seeing Dr. Cutler for 12 years to take care of our cats & dogs. We would never trust anyone else! She is so knowledgeable, professional and she has a genuine heart as well that means a lot to pet owners. The staff at West Hempstead Animal hospital are all so great as well. You can tell they just love animals first and foremost by how comfortable our pets receive them when we come into the office.”
“I’ve had a fantastic experience at this vet! The facility is well-organized and maintained. All the doctors are great, especially Dr. Waters, who is fear-free certified. She is outstanding and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. She has worked wonders with my more aggressive cat, and now he’s much more relaxed during visits. Highly recommend!”
“I recently said goodbye to Jade after 15 + years.The entire staff on the day of my last goodbye supported me with so much patience, understanding, and love.Thank you all ?for the beautiful heartfelt handwritten condolence card I received from you all in the mail.”

“I started using Station Plaza Veterinary Group 3 years ago. They are the best practice around. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable. They are kind and compassionate individuals as well. They are also extremely transparent with any procedures that they perform and never suggest anything that is unnecessary. I highly recommend them!”

“I recently changed veterinarians after 25 years. This was not an easy decision, however it has turned out to be the best decision I made regarding the care of my dogs. They are caring, responsive, reasonable with great doctors and staff. I highly recommend.”
“I trusted Dr.Cohen and Fresh Meadows Animal Clinic for all of my husky Coby's health needs from the time of our first visit. Unfortunately Coby crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year but Dr. Cohen and his staff were always wonderful with him. He lived a pretty long life for a husky (14 years) and when the time comes to welcome another pet into my life I would definitely use Dr. Cohen again. Thank you to the staff and Dr. Cohen for all the years that they took care of Coby.”

24 Jericho Turnpike, Jericho“Today we said goodbye to Kitty. Dr. Denise and her staff , primarily Kenny and Joe helped to make Kitty’s passing to be a loving time between Kitty and ourselves. For three years, Dr. Denise and her staff kept Kitty healthy. Kitty came to us, so very sick and then last year he had his ear removed because of cancer. I don’t believe that kitty would have survived as long as he did without the love and care from Dr.Denise and her staff. Thanks again”
“Wonderful care. I had been to four other vets for my senior dog’s skin condition and none were able to help. I won’t take my pets to anyone else but GCVC!! Highly recommend and am very grateful for their help.”
