This vet receptionists are terrible with people skills there always rude. I had bin going there for years just to end up finding out that I've bin getting ripped off bye high pricing and my animals always seem to not get better but worse. My littlegirl went there for an ear infection they I made her have a blown eardrum and then administered medication without my consent a new medication that hadn't been used and was brand new and State is in a very big letters to please ask owner if OK to make a long story short my dog walked in happy shaking her tailAnd I carried her out in a blanket without her able to walk ..., after taking her to NewTown animal Hospital a few times and a grand later she started walking again.... I would never recommend anybody going to this vet they're overpriced and they do not care about your animals they do careless things all the vet techs are not licensed vet techs so pretty much you have any Tom Dick and Harry handling your baby's .... that's what schools are for not to learn on my dog that's by the way 16 years old I don't know folks I quickly switched all six animals of mine over to Huntington animalClinic in Shelton Connecticut they are the bestAll of their work techs are licensed Technicians OK good luck I hope this helps

I only came here for a short time after moving from New Jersey earlier this year, but I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Micinilio and Dr. Salvatore. Both gave excellent care to my dog Marley and always kept me informed about some health things he had been dealing with. Dr. Micinilio even called me with good news on a Sunday before his vacation which just goes to show you how much these people care and how hard they work. The front desk staff and the techs are all really friendly and you can tell they love their patients. The office is clean and up to date. They are working in the 21st century with text reminders and pet portal. Great place! Just be aware that the waiting room gets busy and can be really stressful! My dog was a weirdo and loved the vet so for him this was no biggie, but if it's a full house some dogs might feel it. And there is always that one owner who has bad control of their animal lol.

My husband and I as well as our family have been bringing our threee dogs to Countryside for the last 5 years. We’ve always seen Dr Santee and we send EVERYONE we know to him. I’ve never met a vet that’s so kind and conservative. He’s honest and compassionate and even responds to cell calls late nights and weekends. He has a heart of gold. The office is always clean and the front desk girls are so kind! We LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

We recently got a new puppy (just over a week ago) and immediately he started feeling sick. Countryside's doctors have been so amazing about getting him in immediately and answering my 50 calls within the last few days as well as dealing with me crying in the office!! Most importantly, they make my puppy feel comfortable during a very scary time. I feel at ease knowing my puppy is in the best care!

Countryside Veterinary Hospital has the best animal care around. Always a pleasure from start to finish to accompany my pets, for their annual check-ups (due to many years of experience) from the caring doctors and technicians to the super helpful reception staff. I highly recommend the entire staff of knowledgeable doctors for all types of animal care and the relief and ongoing trust I have for previous professional references they have provided for unexpected surgery one of my dogs needed above and beyond. I fully trust the care of my “best friends” in their capable hands.

We have used Countryside Vet for our cats and dogs for over ten years and we are very happy with the care they have received. One of my dogs has anxiety and they go above and beyond the help her feel comfortable. From the separate seating areas in the waiting room, aromatherapy blankets to calm her down, an outside seating area so I can let her sniff flowers and relax before our appointment. Highly recommend.

Love Countryside Vet. From the receptionist, to the vet tech, and the veterinarians, I trust my pets will receive the best care. They take time to answer questions. They recommend treatments but do not pressure you. One of my cats has diabetes and they were very patient explaining and demonstrating how to give his insulin. Their patience has paid off and he is now successfully taking his insulin shot every day. Highly recommend to all of my friends

Outstanding group of veterinarians and techs! They are kind, considerate and very responsive to questions and concerns. They showed amazing compassion when it became necessary to put our 14 year old wire haired dachshund to sleep this past winter. It was an awful time, but their kindness was greatly appreciated.

I had to take my dog to countryside vet when he got an abscess and was dreading it after a bad experience at another vet. I definitely need not have worried- both the techs and the vet were attentive (answering my onslaught of questions with patience and detail), caring and kind. So much so that even after the discomfort of the visit for my pup, he was still tail wagging happy to go back for his follow up two weeks later. I'm so happy I found them and actually look forward to going back for his regular check up rather than an emergency appointment.

I have been with Countryside for over 25 years and can't recommend their services enough. I have trusted over 30 animals with them for conditions ranging from minor to life threatening. They are professional, caring and provide top notch service. Since their recent renovation they have made it more comfortable and roomy, and with their new website, it is more informative and user friendly. Pets are our children and Countryside is definitely part of my family! All the vets, techs and receptionists are fantastic. They go above and beyond to accommodate for appointments or anything else needed. Their first concern is always the animals and I trust my pet's lives with them.

Everyone I spoke to at Countryside was very friendly, and very helpful. The vet who looked at my cat was extremely patient with him, and very accommodating towards his uncooperative nature with strangers. Both she and the vet technician were very gentle with him, and were able to perform the entire examination without a sedative. (Another previous location tried pushing me to give him a sedative after she roughly handled him, and he retaliated). The vet stayed and talked to us for a while about lots of helpful information regarding the health of our kitty, and she was very patient with all of our questions. My husband, myself and our cat, all left here very happy that the our visit to the vet wasn't a traumatic experience. You can tell that everyone here loves their job, and loves the animals they work with.

Countryside Veterinary provided exceptional care for my senior dog beyond any other veterinary clinic. They provided so much time and care with compassion, proper diagnosis, and was able to help me with a care plan for him and at a reasonable cost. After being to several veterinarian specialty clinics in the area, it was a relief to finally get the right diagnosis. Wish I started here first! Highly recommend!

Granted, I'm writing this review based on a single visit, but that single visit was enough for me to never want to step foot in the office again. The waiting area was packed, loud, and stressful. Trying to fill out paperwork in this was a huge pain. During the exam, I didn't feel at all that the staff was terrifically interested in what I had to say, everyone seemed irritated (perhaps because the entire building seemed stressed?!), and it was expensive. Now I go to Sherman Hill Animal Hospital in Woodbury and it's an infinitely better experience.

My wife and I took our Border Collie of almost 17 years in today for the last time as he was no longer able to have a good life due to physical deterioration. Everyone involved was so thoughtful and kind it made the experience peaceful and comforting. Countryside has been there for us and our pets and always treated all of us very well. Thanks to all of you for taking care of our pets right to the end! It is obvious you really care for animals and treat our pets as they were your own. Casey's treats of ice cream and donuts at your place made his last day on earth pretty damn good! - Bob and Linda and Casey.

The majority of staff here are super friendly and helpful. The front desk workers and vet techs always make an effort to be caring and attentive to any issues. That said, when it comes to the veterinarians, be careful who you choose. There is one vet in particular that seems to favor a lot of medication and testing, even when there are alternatives. I have to admit I have limited experience with this, but the few times I received advice from this vet she suggested prescription medication and refused to answer questions about alternatives. Even when I asked about an alternative suggested by the vet tech. She just seems very rigid, harsh and unconcerned. My experiences with all of the other vets have been very positive. Although it may be a bit expensive, CVH has convenient hours and is accommodating about emergencies/sick visits. The majority of the rate seem to really care about my dog and seem invested in her overall well being.

This vet provides absolutely top notch care for their animals. I can't say enough good things about the care I have received for my very very sick dog. From the girls in the front office being incredibly incredibly kind and helpful, to the female doctor who gave me the most clear and thoughtful explanation for all bases of my pets care... everyone is on top of their game. I only wish this place was closer to where I live. I will just say that I have tried out three vets and one hospital in the past three years and I just find that either they tried to overcharge you and over vaccinate your animals or they really just were not as thorough as this place...really Countryside is the exception!! Thank you!

Love, love, love this vet!The boy and I recently adopted a crazy little kitten...and we wanted to make sure he was well taken of. We asked around and numerous people referred us to this place..so off I went to make an appointment. From the very first minute I called, everyone I spoke with was super, super nice. They took down all the information, didn't laugh at the kitten's name(it's kinda weird for a cat), and called to confirm as well.When we got there, we were impressed with how bright and clean the vet is--no funky vet smell either. They took down our kitten's short history and took a picture of him to keep on file. He loved everyone that took care of him and they were very gentle with shots, clipping his nails, and inspecting him. They didn't try to sells us shots or anything he wouldn't need either, being an indoor cat. They actually took something off for that reason.The only reason they aren't five stars is the fact that they are definitely more expensive then other vets in the area. They are totally worth it though!!! They have this neat thing on their website that lets you see your pet's history too.

Both gave excellent care to my dog Marley and always kept me informed about some health things he had been dealing with. Dr. Micinilio even called me with good news on a Sunday before his vacation which just goes to show you how much these people care and how hard they work. The front desk staff and the techs are all really friendly and you can tell they love their patients. The office is clean and up to date. They are working in the 21st century with text reminders and pet portal. Great place! Just be aware that the waiting room gets busy and can be really stressful! My dog was a weirdo and loved the vet so for him this was no biggie, but if it's a full house some dogs might feel it. And there is always that one owner who has bad control of their animal lol.

My husband and I as well as our family have been bringing our threee dogs to Countryside for the last 5 years. We’ve always seen Dr Santee and we send EVERYONE we know to him. I’ve never met a vet that’s so kind and conservative. He’s honest and compassionate and even responds to cell calls late nights and weekends. He has a heart of gold. The office is always clean and the front desk girls are so kind! We LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

We recently got a new puppy (just over a week ago) and immediately he started feeling sick. Countryside's doctors have been so amazing about getting him in immediately and answering my 50 calls within the last few days as well as dealing with me crying in the office!! Most importantly, they make my puppy feel comfortable during a very scary time. I feel at ease knowing my puppy is in the best care!

Countryside Veterinary Hospital has the best animal care around. Always a pleasure from start to finish to accompany my pets, for their annual check-ups (due to many years of experience) from the caring doctors and technicians to the super helpful reception staff. I highly recommend the entire staff of knowledgeable doctors for all types of animal care and the relief and ongoing trust I have for previous professional references they have provided for unexpected surgery one of my dogs needed above and beyond. I fully trust the care of my “best friends” in their capable hands.

We have used Countryside Vet for our cats and dogs for over ten years and we are very happy with the care they have received. One of my dogs has anxiety and they go above and beyond the help her feel comfortable. From the separate seating areas in the waiting room, aromatherapy blankets to calm her down, an outside seating area so I can let her sniff flowers and relax before our appointment. Highly recommend.

All employees at Countryside Veterinary Hospital are fantastic! I love the way they treat my dog, Luna. When calling in, all I have to do is mention her name and they instantly know who I am.

Love Countryside Vet. From the receptionist, to the vet tech, and the veterinarians, I trust my pets will receive the best care. They take time to answer questions. They recommend treatments but do not pressure you. One of my cats has diabetes and they were very patient explaining and demonstrating how to give his insulin. Their patience has paid off and he is now successfully taking his insulin shot every day. Highly recommend to all of my friends

THE BEST EVER!!!

Outstanding group of veterinarians and techs! They are kind, considerate and very responsive to questions and concerns. They showed amazing compassion when it became necessary to put our 14 year old wire haired dachshund to sleep this past winter. It was an awful time, but their kindness was greatly appreciated. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

I had to take my dog to countryside vet when he got an abscess and was dreading it after a bad experience at another vet. I definitely need not have worried- both the techs and the vet were attentive (answering my onslaught of questions with patience and detail), caring and kind. So much so that even after the discomfort of the visit for my pup, he was still tail wagging happy to go back for his follow up two weeks later. I'm so happy I found them and actually look forward to going back for his regular check up rather than an emergency appointment.

I've known Dr. Jim Micinillio for years from another practice and have followed him here. I would not hesitate to bring my pet to any of their doctors one bit. We are completely satisfied with their care and service.

I wish the human physicians would be like him. I would not take my dog anywhere else.Countryside is the best!! veterinarians are excellent at Country Side! It is a very clean facility. I have been to other vet hospitals and they just dont measure up to Country Sides pricing, cleanliness, caring and excellent doctoring.

I have been with Countryside for over 25 years and can't recommend their services enough. I have trusted over 30 animals with them for conditions ranging from minor to life threatening. They are professional, caring and provide top notch service. Since their recent renovation they have made it more comfortable and roomy, and with their new website, it is more informative and user friendly. Pets are our children and Countryside is definitely part of my family! All the vets, techs and receptionists are fantastic. They go above and beyond to accommodate for appointments or anything else needed. Their first concern is always the animals and I trust my pet's lives with them.

I am fairly new to Countryside Veterinary Hospital and I am thrilled with the services they provide to our puppy. Staff is excellent; very friendly, caring, organized and on top of all vaccines and healthcare for your pet. Website is user friendly and appointments are easy to book. I highly recommend them. As a matter of fact, when I moved into the area, my previous vet recommended and spoke highly of them. Do not hesitate to bring your pet here.You won't be disappointed. Argo loves coming here and getting his treats too.

Everyone I spoke to at Countryside was very friendly, and very helpful. The vet who looked at my cat was extremely patient with him, and very accommodating towards his uncooperative nature with strangers. Both she and the vet technician were very gentle with him, and were able to perform the entire examination without a sedative. (Another previous location tried pushing me to give him a sedative after she roughly handled him, and he retaliated). The vet stayed and talked to us for a while about lots of helpful information regarding the health of our kitty, and she was very patient with all of our questions. My husband, myself and our cat, all left here very happy that the our visit to the vet wasn't a traumatic experience. You can tell that everyone here loves their job, and loves the animals they work with.

Countryside Veterinary provided exceptional care for my senior dog beyond any other veterinary clinic. They provided so much time and care with compassion, proper diagnosis, and was able to help me with a care plan for him and at a reasonable cost. After being to several veterinarian specialty clinics in the area, it was a relief to finally get the right diagnosis. Wish I started here first! Highly recommend!

Granted, I'm writing this review based on a single visit, but that single visit was enough for me to never want to step foot in the office again. The waiting area was packed, loud, and stressful. Trying to fill out paperwork in this was a huge pain. During the exam, I didn't feel at all that the staff was terrifically interested in what I had to say, everyone seemed irritated (perhaps because the entire building seemed stressed?!), and it was expensive. Now I go to Sherman Hill Animal Hospital in Woodbury and it's an infinitely better experience.

My wife and I took our Border Collie of almost 17 years in today for the last time as he was no longer able to have a good life due to physical deterioration. Everyone involved was so thoughtful and kind it made the experience peaceful and comforting. Countryside has been there for us and our pets and always treated all of us very well. Thanks to all of you for taking care of our pets right to the end! It is obvious you really care for animals and treat our pets as they were your own. Casey's treats of ice cream and donuts at your place made his last day on earth pretty damn good! - Bob and Linda and Casey.

The majority of staff here are super friendly and helpful. The front desk workers and vet techs always make an effort to be caring and attentive to any issues. That said, when it comes to the veterinarians, be careful who you choose. There is one vet in particular that seems to favor a lot of medication and testing, even when there are alternatives. I have to admit I have limited experience with this, but the few times I received advice from this vet she suggested prescription medication and refused to answer questions about alternatives. Even when I asked about an alternative suggested by the vet tech. She just seems very rigid, harsh and unconcerned. My experiences with all of the other vets have been very positive. Although it may be a bit expensive, CVH has convenient hours and is accommodating about emergencies/sick visits. The majority of the rate seem to really care about my dog and seem invested in her overall well being.

This vet provides absolutely top notch care for their animals. I can't say enough good things about the care I have received for my very very sick dog. From the girls in the front office being incredibly incredibly kind and helpful, to the female doctor who gave me the most clear and thoughtful explanation for all bases of my pets care... everyone is on top of their game. I only wish this place was closer to where I live. I will just say that I have tried out three vets and one hospital in the past three years and I just find that either they tried to overcharge you and over vaccinate your animals or they really just were not as thorough as this place...really Countryside is the exception!! Thank you!

I had good experiences here, until I became concerned for my pet's safety. I think one bad apple (woman vet in this practice) destroyed the bunch for me. She pressed my husband for the Lyme vaccination and my poor dog was sick all last summer because of it. And not for nothing but this vet is EXPENSIVE. Don't hurt my dog and don't over charge me - period. Here's a good article about vaccines.brettwinn.hubpages.com/h…

Love, love, love this vet!The boy and I recently adopted a crazy little kitten...and we wanted to make sure he was well taken of. We asked around and numerous people referred us to this place..so off I went to make an appointment. From the very first minute I called, everyone I spoke with was super, super nice. They took down all the information, didn't laugh at the kitten's name(it's kinda weird for a cat), and called to confirm as well.When we got there, we were impressed with how bright and clean the vet is--no funky vet smell either. They took down our kitten's short history and took a picture of him to keep on file. He loved everyone that took care of him and they were very gentle with shots, clipping his nails, and inspecting him. They didn't try to sells us shots or anything he wouldn't need either, being an indoor cat. They actually took something off for that reason.The only reason they aren't five stars is the fact that they are definitely more expensive then other vets in the area. They are totally worth it though!!! They have this neat thing on their website that lets you see your pet's history too.
