When we brought our dog in during the hardest time, the compassion we received was beyond anything we could have hoped for. The staff stayed late and was calm & gentle throughout the entire experience. Knowing your pet doesn’t have much time left is beyond devastating, and it meant everything to be treated with such kindness. We never felt rushed when reviewing results, options, etc., and the warmth they showed — not just to us, but to our dog — was something we will never forget.

I have been going to Dr. Giammanco for 4 years, he is the amazing doctor we have ever had. He gave the most of accurate diagnose when my dog Arnold developed CHF in last year, also has been giving the most of effective treatment which my dog needs and makes sure its not over treated to avoid the medication side-effect,,, I feel we are so lucky to have him as my dog doctor. We really appreciate his knowledge and lovely heart to our pets, I would highly recommend him further more all the staff in the hospital from front desk Antony to the technician Fabian are very nice and love animals always give the best services

If you love your pets, I am begging you to go literally anywhere else to get a second opinion. I had brought my dog in for routine vaccines before, which is all you can really rely on this place for. Over the last month, I brought my dog here 3 times and each time, they could not properly diagnose what was wrong with her. I was constantly reassured that whatever was wrong was NOT life threatening. Her X-rays and bloodwork came back CLEAN. She was 8 years old and extremely healthy. Each visit, my dog got worse and worse—and the only explanation they could give me was “it could be side effects of the medication, and it’s nothing to worry about”. 3 weeks from her first visit here, she could no longer get up or walk. I had to end up putting her down at a different hospital. I think the front desk staff were kind, however the doctors are questionable. Anytime I asked more questions about her condition, and why she was getting worse, there was ZERO compassion from the doctor. Almost like they were annoyed I was asking for clarification. If you could not figure out what was wrong with my dog, you should’ve just been honest from the first visit, not ask me to keep coming back so you could charge me for medications and X-rays my dog didn’t even need. Honestly, I think my dog would still be here today if I never took her here to begin with.
