“Knowledgeable, patient, and caring team of professionals there. I have nothing but a good things to say about this office that was recommended to me by my neighbor.
I decided to switch from a neighboring vet clinic because I was tired of 5 minute visits with medication only and no word of the cause or prevention.
This office is different, the visits are longer because the doctor actually takes her time to explain the possible root of the problem, the strategy of treating and some animal anatomy. I will surely come back there with my pets.“
“New client of Rock Beach Vet Services and I couldn’t be happier or feel like I’m in better hands. Everyone is very kind, knowledgeable and friendly. They treat my puppy very well!“
“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.“
“excellent pet care, the receptionist Annie is very welcoming and veterinary assistant Ariel is FANTASTIC!“
“I never write reviews but this one is necessary! Dr. Pozo is truly a gem, she’s so warm and gracious and puts you right at ease! She squeezed me in to see my two newly adopted cats when I found out one of them was given to me sick. She examined them both and prescribed medicine, taking the time to teach me how to administer and tips on how to keep the cats calm and how to prevent myself from getting scratched! She has since been very kind to answer all my follow up worry some questions and has also taken care of my dog. If you’ve been searching for a vet, I highly recommend you put your trust in Dr. Pozo!“
“The staff is great. The doctors are very caring and take the time to answer all your questions and concerns. Provide excellent care for what is needed. Genuine group of people and professionals whose priority is the well being of our animals.“
“Great vet for standard check ups. Dr. Kirk is great and the staff are amazing - they truly love animals. Only wish their hours were extended; I have to call off work to bring my dogs here, and there’s always a long wait even with an appointment.“
“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.“
“This little guy was peeing blood. And constantly leaking stanky fluids, amongst other issues.
Took him to 2 other vets spent a ton of money and the problem would reoccur. Came to Glendale vets and the staff was super friendly, helpful and funny. Made me feel at ease as we were able to joke a little during a tough time for me. I really thought I was gonna have to put him down. After 13 years with him. So I was in a bad place. Either way, Mr Fidel CatStro, (that’s my furry friend If you didn’t figure it out) left there with no more issues. And 3 months later. He is actually more friendly then he was prior to his visits with this vet and safe to say he back and living his best life. Thanks guys. Really appreciate your work. !!“
“I absolutely ❤️ it. So kind and gentle. Honest too. Thank you for caring for my furry baby. ??????????“
“Doctor Harrington is fantastic! Professional, responsive, courteous, and direct.
First met her in 2023 for a second opinion on my older dog's knee a few weeks after moving to the neighborhood. She made time to see my dog same day and gave excellent advice and referrals to a fantastic vet surgery practice in Brooklyn. I immediately started coming to CityVet first for everything.
In early 2024 she made a quick second diagnosis that another vet at her practice had missed, then performed the needed minor surgery on my dog herself with excellent results that immediately cleared up the issue.
Front desk is generally very responsive in person and over email, most recently going out of their way to follow up multiple times when PetSmart kept botching my flea/tick approval and helped me switch to Chewy.
Highly recommend this Vet!“
“I don’t understand the negative reviews about this place. Everything on the website was clear about pricing and booking appointments. I booked mine online and was seen next day. I scheduled a physical to get my cat spayed. Two days later I was booked for her surgery. Everyone was extremely helpful. From the woman at the front desk to anyone else that handled my cat. After her surgery, I was unable to pick my cat up due to work so I gave them a call ask if someone else can get her for me and they were very accommodating regarding my situation. Today, they called me to follow up and make sure my cat was doing well after surgery. Great people, amazing service! Thank you guys again.“
“Excellent care very professional Understanding and knowledgeable. Thank you Apple ?“
“Everyone here was very polite and handled my pet with care and compassion. I highly recommend this place to all pet owners.“
“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.“
“Great staff. Felt like they really cared about my cat. Leo, the veterinary tech, provided great service while actively listening to my concerns. He, as well as the doctor, Silverman, are the main reason I will be going back to them regularly for check ups.“
“Dr. Sapienza is the quintessential professional in ophthalmology! Our dog, Lexi, has experienced a remarkable improvement in her vision after cataract surgery!“
“Dr. Sapienza is the quintessential professional in ophthalmology! Our dog, Lexi, has experienced a remarkable improvement in her vision after cataract surgery!“
“Great staff-very friendly. My Lola got a manicure and it was excellent. I was in and out in 20 minutes.
I took my Maya Papaya-1st visit-10/21/24-Dr. Gooden-AMAZING!!! Made us feel so comfortable. He answered my million questions. Maya-Papaya is feeling great 1 day later.“
“Amazing group of Vets and techs. They were very welcoming to my shy 80lb doberman and made her feel very much at ease after she contracted kennel cough and had to get checked out. They are quick, efficient, and very informative, which helped greatly in reducing my worries about my sick pup. Recommend to anyone that cares about getting the best care for their pets!“
“We found Dr. Yoo as a referral. Our visits with him have been met with compassion, professionalism and substantial knowledge/training in this field.
The clinic provides an environment that is clean, friendly and efficient.
It's always refreshing and welcomed, as caring for our dogs are at the forefront of the experience ,rather than margins.
His staff are nice, intelligent and have a great understanding of animals and how to treat them.
I'm very thankful to have found Dr Yoo and his staff.
I highly recommend him for veterinary services/resources.“
“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 ❤❤❤“
“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. We just started seeing them again, and I do regret switching.“
