My pets and are more than grateful to have the benefit of Dr. Johnston's thirty years of experience, but equally her compassion and gentleness. I will not even go into comparisons with other vets. Suffice it to say I was waiting results for my dog, on more than one occasion, or had an immediate concern. Dr. Johnston's day did not end until I was contacted, sometimes hours after the practice had closed. A wonderful, sensitive human! This shows up as San Fran,Ca, but I am from Patchogue

Absolutely not. I was actually recommended for their a friend of mine to go for acupuncture Laser and my dog was subjected to a technician that burned him my dog ,that he has blistering and Dr. Johnson refuses to get back to me And she calls me from a blocked number as you can see in the photos posted I've got after numerous times and all she does suggest giving my dog benydryl. That's absolutely absurd. You are their technician obviously burn my dog.

Hi so my two dogs are a patient of Dr. Karen Johnston, all I have to say is she is a great veterinarian who really cares about her patients ! Whenever I see her for one of my animals being sick she calls me the next day and always checks on them! The staff can’t be nicer when you go in there so friendly and incredibly helpful! I hate to say it but nowadays when you call a doctors office usually the staff are very short and act like they hate their job and hate being there but not here you’ll always get friendly service and the best veterinary care!!!

Outstanding! My seven year old cockapoo Fred, was lethargic and not eating for the past two days. I brought him to HAMPTON veterinary hospital and within one minute of physically examining his body from head to paw, Dr Dowd found an abscess on his throat. It was not visible to the eye or untrained touch. The abscess was spread across the surface area of his throat making it near impossible to detect! Dr Dowd was able to get a syringe in a very delicate area & confirmed her suspicions, that the area was inflamed with pus. She then explained to me what my options were because of the sensitivity of the area. One option was to bring him to a veterinary surgeon, have Fred Sedated & have drains installed. Dr Dowd told me that she would be willing to shave the abscessed area, make a small incision & gently extract the pus. She was able to drain all the infection out him & treat Fred with antibiotics. He immediately showed signs of improvement. I heard of this place from so many people over the years. Bragging about Dr Wen etc. Well, Dr Wen maybe gone but the quality of care is still there. They are also very reasonable too! The procedure I just explained cost me $171. I've also had both of my dogs teeth cleaned there & they were $460 for the one & $650 for the other. That's reasonable!!! Oh!!! & they recently treated my friends dog for a softball size cancerous tumor. He is now 100% tumor & cancer free, without surgery! Do ur pets a favor & take the ride out to Hampton veterinary hospital, they are the best!

Today Bentley and I had the greatest vet experience we have actually ever had. Our normal had left her previous location and we have no idea where she went.. as a result it was time to find a new one. Dr. Johnston was definitely the best vet I've ever brought Bentley to. He's had terrible experiences at his original vet, which made him very nervous in any medical office as a result. Dr. Johnston was able to listen to his heart beat, feel all of his joints, his lymphnodes and look in both ears with no issue which has actually never happened before. As someone who owns a pitbull mix, I've experienced a lot of doctors being nervous around him from the start, which never helped him. She was confident, let him sniff everything she touched him with before she tried touching him with it, she listened to everything I had to say and also supported him being on a raw diet. 10/10 will continue to go to this vets office

Dr. Johnston is amazing!! Her and her staff are truly wonderful. I have a 5 year old rescue, Kane. Kane had high anxiety and before meeting Dr. Johnston he was so fearful he would have to be sedated for normal Vet visits. He now is fully awake for all visits and I have never felt more comfortable at the vet. He is on relaxol and doing spectacular. Her patience and knowledge truly guided me through a very complex situation. The entire staff is super kind, friendly and compassionate. I cannot say enough about Dr. Johnston. I highly recommend her and her staff to everyone!!

I give the Hampton Veterinary Hospital 5 stars ..My dog Bella (and I) have been a patient there for 16.2 years we started out with Dr Wen ..who was nice enough ..but since he left, Bella has been seeing Dr Karen Johnston ...I always liked the office but I feel like the office is run even better now. The receptionist, the techs ..especially Devin, have been taking very good care of our dog since she has fallen ill in January, they ALL have a lot of patience with us and always so nice and friendly...also I find the prices to be very fair..visits, testing and medications! The office is clean and the wait is usually very quick! This Vet deserves 5 stars

My family has been seeing Dr Wen and Dr Johnson for years. They seem to cautious when they need to be and never alarmists. They try to use an array of alternatives medicines/procedures like acupuncture and herbal remedies oftentimes. She is very patient with my two dogs, one of which can be a bit to handle. While in the room, we never felt rushed. I am very happy with the office and scheduling. She offers weekend hours which is amazing for my schedule. It is also fairly easy to get in on short notice, for example I called on a Wednesday and had both of my dogs seen for an appointment that upcoming Sunday. We drive about 35 minutes every time we go here and it is well worth it.

My 17 year old cat is a new patient there for acupuncture. We found Dr. Johnston to be very caring and gentle. She uses electro-acupuncture with which we were unfamiliar. The cost of the acupuncture session was a fraction of what it cost at the previous veterinary facility we attended which makes acupuncture affordable to the not-so-well-to-do! Dr. Johnston was exceptionally kind and we couldn't have been happier with our first visit. Unlike a lot of other veterinary hospitals right now, this one allows one pet parent to enter the facility and be present during the exam/procedure. This meant a great deal to me. The staff was courteous and professional both on the phone and in person. I have no complaints whatsoever. And unlike the previous facility we attended, there were no surprises on the bill. Mittens and I highly recommend Hampton Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Johnston!

Wonderful, caring and very astute veterinarian. Solved a cat problem when no one else could. I have had many rescues--both dogs and cats and she did a GREAT job with every one of them.
