Animal Hospitals near Elmont

“My horse, Prome, seemingly has made it his mission to show the world how amazing the Ruffian team is. Our Ruffian experience started in 2020 when my guy had to be seen twice in one year for horrible colic. The first colic was particularly scary yet Dr. Pigott and his team remained diligent and saw Prome through that, getting him well and finally able to come home. Dr. Pigott came to the rescue again in February 2023 when Prome required “dorsal spinous process surgery” for “severe thoracolumbar kissing spine”. Not only did Prome come back after that surgery but he absolutely thrived, moving the best he ever had. In fact, he did so well that we were able to do a hunter derby in late fall 2023 and planned to get on the show circuit this summer. Unfortunately, Prome’s body had other plans and he experienced another horrible colic at the end of June 2024, which was his first since his 2020 episodes. This time Dr. Mejia came to our rescue. Here again there were very scary moments, but Dr. Mejia and his team got my guy through it and well enough to undergo laparoscopic nephrosplenic space ablation on 07/02/2024. Prome has since recovered so well that you cannot tell he had any surgery at all! I don’t imagine I’ll ever be able to thank this group enough for what they have given Prome and me. They’ve brought him back from the brink multiple times now and kept us in the saddle. Beyond the exceptional medical care, I’m always so grateful for their level of communication, with the surgeons calling and texting multiple times each day to give updates. The entire team goes above and beyond, even to the point of grooming my guy each day and always welcoming me on my daily visits. While I always joke that we love seeing them but hope to not need them for another decade or more, I rest easy knowing they are down the road.“

“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.“

“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"“

“This pet dentistry helped with all the paperwork and tests needed for my cat to return to my home country. They were very patient and professional. Communication was smooth, and they can speak English, Korean, and Chinese.“

“Dr. Ruggiero is amazing. Shows so much love and compassion for animals. I truly feel that, to her, this business is so much more than the bottom line. The front desk staff is very friendly and the costs are reasonable. Place is clean and comfortable. They also have other services, like grooming.“

“I brought my dog there the other day for the first time… Very very happy! let me start here…(I rescue pitbulls for the last 20 years so I’m very serious about their care and their mental well-being)
I had found parking in the front of the clinic and my dog hates getting out of my truck.. (his fear)
so I had the door open, and I was just talking to him, waiting for him to be comfortable to come out. One of the girls that work there saw me and decided on her own to come out and be super helpful and greet my dog and try and help me get him out and make him feel comfortable! it may sound like not a big deal, but it was because she didn’t have to come out and go out of her way to help me without me asking.
so we get him out of the car, we go inside he was so happy… All the girls inside were so welcoming so sweet and so obsessed with my Boy Dante! I did not wait long at all, actually I only waited Maybe about 5 minutes 10 minutes.MAX. which normally at all my old vets, I’ve always waited at least 30 mins. (this definitely helps us as pet owners and also our pets that hate waiting in a waiting room getting anxious)
then I go into the room to see Dr. Anastasiou .. (the best!!!) The most kindest, gentle and educated Veterinarian! listened to all my concerns, paid attention to my dogs behavior, mannerisms, and took good care of him! he did not rush me out, and he made everything super easy!! I highly recommend Middletown animal clinic! 10/10 !!!“

“Dr Tell is the BEST vet! He is well informed and is happy to answer my many questions, takes his time to examine my dogs and makes thoughtful recommendations. Dr Tell never suggests unnecessary visits, tests and treatments to make an extra buck, which I really appreciate (my previous vet was the opposite). He is also marvelous with dogs. My Teddy is always happy to see Dr Tell. I’m so grateful to this practice for taking such exceptional care of us. My dogs are in great hands.“

“Dr Vic took care of my sweet Shea dog. He was extremely thorough in his exams. I really appreciate the compassion he showed our family and Shea.“

“Several months ago, my 12 year old Lab had severe discoloration around her right eye along with significant discomfort. Prior visits to another veterinary clinic had not been able to address the problem, but Dr. Datner was able to identify and treat the problem within one visit. He is very thorough, thoughtful and systematic in his approach to treating his patients. If I had waited for a veterinarian ophthalmologist, I am not sure my dog would have healed. I highly recommend Dr. Datner.“

“THIS IS MY LATEST REVIEW (10/28/2024)
A little over a week ago (October 20th, 2024 ~ 1AM), my sweet boy Balto passed away. Although these things are always tragic and hurt beyond words can express, I was fortunate to know that God had put amazing folks like THE ENTIRE STAFF at Howard Beach Animal Clinic PC, in our lives to be here for HIM and us (my family) for the time we had left with him.

Due to spiritual reasons, putting him down was never an option for me when it came to making decisions and monitoring his health. Dr. Rodriguez and the team never made me feel judged or shame for the decision (because ultimately we all cared about him and didn't want him to suffer too much due to his cancer) however, it was always something advised, they understood why I couldn't go that route and I APPRECIATE YOU ALL wholeheartedly for never putting me in that position on top of the other factors I was contending with.

We knew the diagnosis was terminal however, treating it as a hospice type situation was always the route I wanted to take-- make my boy as comfortable as he can be and have him pass away at home surrounded by those he love and those who love him. That's exactly how it happened (after all the pain and discomfort)-- he found peace.

Everyone shared such beautiful sentiments about him and I am so touched by how much this clinic truly cares. It speaks volumes that he was remembered for more than just being one of the challenging fur babies they'd have their hands full with-- but that they truly are animal lovers here and they just want to do what's best.

HOWARD BEACH ANIMAL CLINIC PC, WE (my family and I) WILL NEVER FORGET YOU GUYS! You ALL are so APPRECIATED!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR MY BOY. It truly means the WORLD!.
(The office manager Elizabeth, is amazing!!!)

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY SWEET BOY BALTO,
(03/17/2015 -- 10/20/2024)

THE FOLLOWING REVIEW WAS LEFT 6 MONTHS PRIOR:
I am saddened to see any negative reviews pertaining to this animal clinic.

Anyways, this review is LOOOOOOONG overdue.
I have a very very difficult, massive, aggressive Alaskan Malamute.

Sometime last year, he had an abscess type situation erupt in his neck area. His vet at the time really wanted nothing to do with it, and kind of left us hanging high and dry.

In a panic with no clue where to go and what to do, I stumbled across Howard Beach Animal Clinic PC online. I called them up, explained my situation, and they said come on over.

They treated the situation as an emergency visit (there was an additional charge, but totally worth it to be accommodated so quickly). Dr. Rodriguez and her care team were AMAAAAZINGGGGG!! I cannot stress enough how at ease they put me, improvising and comfortable with any/ all measures needed to deal with my difficult to deal with Alaskan Malamute.

We followed up for the 2 week follow up and all was well. Then last month, Dr. Rodriguez and her team handled his annual physical, where she found a mass near his anus and she guided me through the steps of the findings and what comes next.

This hasn't been easy. Having a pet who needs to be sedated for appointments since I've had him... EVERYONE at Howard Beach Animal Clinic has made this so easy, to take care of him and monitoring his health.

I cannot thank them enough. From the girls at the front desk, to the support team in and out of the rooms, to the technicians and the doctors themselves. I thank God everyday that we found you guys.

Thank you! I highly recommend this practice!
If their phones are busy due to high call volume, press 3 for a call back. They call back quickly and are VERY courteous and attentive of your matters.“

“Upon our request, they provided us with detailed medical records pertaining to the our dog. Over the years, they have lovingly treated 5 cats and two dogs who have been part of our family.“

“I love Dr. Marcia and her staff. They are so amazing, caring and sweet. My cat loves them.“

“I absolutely ❤️ it. So kind and gentle. Honest too. Thank you for caring for my furry baby. ??????????“

“My mini schnauser had lump removal and cherry eye surgery.Dr Kim is a
Very good veterinary surgeon.
Today is one week and my Lucy is perky,hungry and coming back to normal.“

“The best Vet I recommend for my all friends ❤️. Animal Medicine and Surgery this ?“

“I wanted to say that I was very pleased and happy with the quick service. Hector the tech was friendly and professional made this vist pleasant.The Vet was also informative, kind and made our pet feel better.“

“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!“

“I have gone to Broadway Vet Care twice now as my dog, Bruno, has been a patient of Dr. Megan Rosen’s for the last four years. She is absolutely wonderful and probably the first ever vet to truly care about my dog, which is why I followed her when she began working at Broadway. The vet I went to prior was more interested in charging me for unnecessary exams and blood work than caring for my dog. Dr. Rosen is professional, friendly, and honest about what Bruno actually needs. The front desk staff and assistants are also very friendly and ensure that you and your pet are feel welcomed and comfortable. I would highly recommend this practice. Both the staff and Dr. Rosen reached out to me after each appointment to ensure that Bruno was doing okay after treatment for the ulcers in his eyes. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed! ?“

“Dr. Sapienza is the quintessential professional in ophthalmology! Our dog, Lexi, has experienced a remarkable improvement in her vision after cataract surgery!“

“Very compassionate staff here. Our cat got hit by a car. They gave good opinions for her. So I would definitely recommend this place.“

“I really don't know what to say other than that Dr. Perkins is a gem and a blessing to her community. I went to another veterinarian for my cat who quoted me over $2k to have dental work done on him. I was beside myself. Dr. Perkins charged a fraction of that and her knowledge and expertise is in my opinion second to none from her years of experience. I only wish I had gone to her sooner. Lovely caring veterinarian and staff.“

“I cannot recommend Dr Hardoon enough! The whole staff is so caring, understanding, and my dog had a wonderful surgical outcome thanks to their care. I came to Williston Park for an alternative spay with a preventative gastropexy and xrays of her joints. Dr Hardoon is one of the only vets on LI that is experienced in the OSS procedure and can do OFA positioned xrays. She was very supportive of my request for an ovary sparing spay and was happy to answer all my questions since this would be my first time with a dog having this procedure. I was offered many different surgical approaches, their cost/ benefit analysis, and I was allowed to make the ultimate decision. We elected to remove her uterus, her cervix, and one of her ovaries. We left her left ovary to preserve her reproductive hormones, but that ovary was chosen since it is easier to find if she should ever need it removed in her future. Dr Hardoon went over her personal experience with this procedure in terms of long term health of large breed dogs, as well as what published research was showing. I felt well educated and happy with my choice after our initial consult. She even went so far as to warn me what the post op experience would be like so I could prepare my house for my dog's 2 week rest. I was so happy to be at an office that supported my desire for the procedure, as well as their full support of me feeding my dogs raw. When I came in for the procedure the entire office was so welcoming. They sprayed calming pheromones to help my dog relax, played relaxing music, and gave us a room for the initial sedatives to take effect before taking my dog to the back. I was so impressed with the care they took to ensure my dog went under anesthesia with the least stress possible. After I left the staff was great with communication. They knew I had traveled for the surgery so they made sure to tell me how long it would take and where I could wait peacefully. When my dog was out of surgery Dr Hardoon called me personally to give me a brief on how the surgery went and when I could anticipate her being awake. The team knew my dog was large and I would not be able to carry her to my car, so they held her for me until she was awake enough to walk. I was very happy with the pain control offered by Dr Hardoon, which is a very important component for me personally. My dog received laser and acupuncture before going home and the staff made sure to provide me with both holistic and traditional pain meds for her. My GSD had a lot done during this surgery, so I expected discomfort. I was blown away that she was back to her normal self the very next day. As a veterinary assistant I know how much care and skill it takes during surgery to make this post op so smooth and I am extremely grateful. Despite the need for a very large incision to reach both the cervix and the stomach she healed very well. The incision looked great and was fully healed in 7 days without the need for antibiotics. I am always nervous entrusting my dogs to a new vet but I will absolutely be back in the future after such a positive first experience. If you are looking for a vet that believes in both alternative and traditional medicine, and caters a medical plan to include both, Dr Hardoon is great!“

“Dr. Chew is truly such a wonderful vet and our Mochi was taken care of every single time we went and he always returned our calls. Only thing that prevents me from giving the clinic a 5 star rating is that they are very old school and don't do email correspondence, so if we need Chewy to verify a med, we need to go to the clinic to pick the physical prescription and or copies of records. We made the difficult choice to switch to somewhere closer to us as we are in Forest Hills. If you're fairly local to this clinic, we absolutely recommend Dr. Chew.“

“Very good people, respectful and gracious. Always feel welcome and would definitely recommend me and my lolie love it ❤❤❤“

“My dogs swallowed a chicken bone last week and needed help immediately. Assisi took him in as quickly as possibly to get him the help he needed. There were some complications in his xrays, and I was able to get him into an ultrasound the next day. So thankful for you all!!“

“Dr Birchler was incredible… I had to put my dog down and him and his staff did such a great job for my dogs final moments.“
