Veterinarians in Staten Island

“Dr. Pugliese and staff are all very kind and knowledgeable. I brought two of my bearded dragons here (bless their souls) and my beautiful Sulcata Tortoise here and she’s taken good care of them and shares the same passion for exotics and reptiles like I do. She isn’t the typical arrogant Doctor that claims to know it all, she isn’t afraid to tell you she doesn’t know something and she’ll do a lot of research to give you the right information about how to treat your animal. She is also very affordable compared to other vets I went to. She is definitely my go to whenever one of my reptiles get sick, I wish I can give her 10 stars!!“

“Last week I brought home a toy poodle pup, 10 weeks old. Our first stop was at RVVP to make his first appt. I had used RVVP in the passed so was confident with the care my pup will receive. The care the Doctors & staff provide is excellent. I highly recommend RVVP for all your pet needs.“

“Dr Rocarro & Dr Maritato and all their staff are wonderful. I have been going there 20 plus years. They treated my parents dogs & my dogs and cats throughout this time. I cannot say enough good things about that place.“

“I took my dog here to get a dental cleaning/tooth extractions because he had bad plaque in his teeth. Due to his age of 12 years, I was very nervous about having this procedure done but the doctors and staff here did a wonderful job with him. They really care about the animals and they are very reasonable. I will be bringing all of my animals here moving forward“

“Although I could not find the dental surgery I need for my dog at this office, Dr. Rubenstein was kind enough to take my call and direct me in my search. We took our family dog to this office in the 1990s, and I have never forgotten how compassionate and caring Dr. Rubenstein was when we had to put our dog to sleep at that time.“

“I found Peter Astarbi to be a very nice, competent, and engaging fellow. I did (post visit) have, and still do have, one concern and that is his practice of mixing two different vaccines in the same injection. I learned later that most veterinarians do not like that at all since one vaccine may reduce the effectiveness of the other. So if he comes to your house and your animal needs more than one vaccine, you might want to discuss this with him.“

“Great care. Office staff is attentive. They are always willing to answer my questions. My sister has used this vets office for many years. She highly recommended them and so would I.“

“The doctor is so good with my dog and the wait is not bad. Even got a cookie to go after the service“

“The experience of was great! Staff was welcoming, knowledgeable & definitely helpful…. They kept KyRo calm while he got the Rabies vaccination. Thanks Guys !“

“Dr Joe is the best!! I've been taking my pups to see him for years, he has provided care for my babies from when they were weeks old and was there for us while they took their last breaths at a very elderly age. Very supportive & caring Dr (Joe), very supportive & knowledgeable team of Vet Techs, and the receptionists are always kind and informative. Thank you for years of service SIVG!“

“Everyone was really nice, explained everything, felt confident in their care of my pet“

“The office gave my dog a much needed appointment quickly. The staff was warm, welcoming, and wonderful. The vet tech and veterinarian were very knowledgeable and caring. I feel that my dog is in the best hands at St. Francis Animal Hospital.“

“We just started coming here, after decades of traveling across the island to Forest Animal Hospital, due to their close proximity to our home. The few times we visited so far the staff were caring and thoughtful. Dr. D is knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he was doing.“

“Great experience, kind and respectful front desk , clean, short waiting time, Doctor who truly cares about your fur babies.“
