Our vet retired and we went to Dr. Sam who incorrectly diagnosed our cat without even really examining him. Next he wanted to perform very expensive surgery. From the moment we met him he talked about politics, and went off on several tangents very strange. So we GOOGLED him..Do your research people STATE NJ DEPT. LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICINE ...Dr. Sam was charged and plead GUILTY Misconduct, negligence, misdiagnosis, dishonesty, deception, altering/fabricating patient records, fraud.

I wish I could give 0 stars My rabbit went to get neutered and we were told he did not need any pain medicine. I thought that was odd, but i listened to the vet. After a day he was still not eating or drinking which is incredibly serious in rabbits. We took him back to the vet and the vet said he was fine. When we got home, my rabbit was acting very sick. I googled rabbit neuter and found out that most rabbits will die if not given pain medicine. A 13 year old girl figured this out before a staff of trained vet "professionals". When I figured this out it was late at night and the vet was already closed. I was planning to go back in the morning, get the pain medicine, and then never use this vet again. By morning, my poor rabbit had passed away. The staff was unprofessional and very irresponsible. I now have two female bunnies who were spayed by the Morris County Community Animal Hospital very well. These people gave our rabbits wonderful care, proper medications, and they even called us to ask how our rabbits were doing. We have switched our rabbits and dogs over to this vet and are much happier with them. NEVER USE THIS VET THEY WILL KILL YOUR ANIMALS 0 STARS!!! Read Less

Do not bring your animals here. My boyfriend and I were scammed out of almost $500. His cat was very ill, and he brought her here to get checked on because there was something very wrong with her. She is 16. She was not eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom, she was lethargic and losing energy, and she was vomiting multiple times a day. This vet shaved half of his sick cat and gave her an ultrasound which was completely unnecessary which you will find out later as you read on. They couldn't find anything wrong with the liver and kidneys. They also said there was an issue with crystals in her bladder. But did not further address this after they pointed it out. No suggestions on how to fix it, no medication for the issue. After the ultrasound, they said maybe it is something in her throat. Didn't even give us a complete diagnosis. They sent us away with prescription food to force feed her with (that she kept throwing up anyway) and medication for vomiting. Which was only a small part of the problem. Almost $500 to leave that place just as confused as he walked in. No diagnosis, not even a possible thing that it could be. They said they're not sure what it could be and the only way to find out was with a $2,000 MRI. Just "If it persists, come back." We went to a second veterinarian for a second opinion because we knew something wasn't right. Here, they told us right off the bat she was very sick. She was dehydrated and starving. They knew it was serious. ALL they had to do, was blood work. All Pets did not even suggest bloodwork. Once the bloodwork came back, it looked terrible. Her kidneys were failing badly. All Pets told us there was nothing wrong with her liver or kidneys, and that it MIGHT be the THROAT. Really??? We discussed our options with this vet, and they said we can try and save her (which could cost thousands) and it will probably not work because her organs are failing. So, we decided to put her down that day. She was severely sick and had failing organs. And All Pets told us it MAY be a throat issue, did a COMPLETELY unnecessary ultrasound, did not even suggest blood work, and sent us away with zero diagnosis or even just an educated guess. Thank you All Pets, for making this cat suffer more than she should have, and completely scamming someone out of a large amount of money, for no reason. His cat was peacefully put down at this other wonderful vet who was honest and knew what they were doing. ALL IT TOOK WAS BLOODWORK. She suffered a few days longer than she should have because we were trying to save her with efforts that were 100% not working. Do not trust what they tell you. We went through hell with this poor cat because of this confused practice. Read Less

terrible grooming- I brought my Papillon in to the groomer at ALL Pets and was the first person at the desk when they opened( i was there at 8:16am.) I was the last person to pick up their dog and found the grooming careless and mishapen. Large clumps of fur off his chest and the sides of his back. I was expecting him to be groomed with a shaver evenly all over his body in a puppy cut as discussed , but that is not what I got. Also his nails were not cut like they were supposed to be. Other groomers clip the nails properly, not with the person I had here. The vet services are wonderful. and I love Dr Sam, but I will never have my dog groomed here again. Three strikes your out!

I have a dachshund corgi mix who is 12 years old and was having back issues my vet referred me to All Pets Vets for treatment. We started going back in November and did laser therapy and the under water treadmill and it has helped so much with his back issue and also weight loss as he is overweight Dr Sam and his staff are the best!!!! We travel almost an hour each way every Saturday just for this and I couldn't be happier with everything the do for him. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Dr Sam and staff!!!! Read Less

DR. Sam and Staff are simply the best! Outstanding animal care and service. DR. Sam and his staff do such a great job caring for all animals. I have known this World Class Veterinarian; DR. Sam for many years and he and his staff have always provided my pets with the best compassionate care and service at a reasonable price. Recently, my cat needed emergency care and DR. Sam and his staff were ready to help. They performed a professional surgery procedure on my cat and corrected the issue at hand. My cat is recovering and doing well, she will be OK. Thank you so much for all you do. GOD BLESS! Read Less

We had a scare, sent our pup in and he was examed right-a-way. The staff was empathetic and concerned. The Dr.'s are honest and understanding. Looking to build a relationship with APVH. -Jackson Snow Read Less

Dr. Sam is amazing and he is always up front with you and doesn't do services that are unnecessary just for some extra cash. We had an emergency and I called and got right in to have my pup looked at. All of the Staff is caring and kind and the grooming is reasonably priced and they do a fantastic job. Day boarding is also super cheap and my pup had a great day. Love them! Read Less

My pets have been going to Dr. Sam for decades. We started back with Dr. Sam when he was just starting out in his small little office. We have nothing but raves for this doctor and his assistants. They are compassionate professionals who have helped us deal with a variety of issues with our cats and dogs. My beloved Rocky was less than 2 years old when he was hit by a car. Dr. Sam met me at his office after hours and helped us put our beloved puppy to rest. It was such a trying, sad time for our family and we could not have imagined the situation if Dr. Sam and his staff weren't there for us. Every exam and visit with our pups has been a pleasant one and we always are confident that Dr. Sam has advised us properly. They have a great system of reminding you when your pets are due for examinations and/or shots and vaccines. I cannot say enough positive things about All Pets Vet Hospital. Give them a try - you will be glad you did! Read Less

My husband and I have been bringing our cats to Dr. Sam and All Pets since July of 2013. The reason we went there initially was for the kindness in their grooming to my Gabriel, who was a 28-pound Maine Coon and sometimes had matted fur. He was a sweet, docile cat but working out mats on his fur made him VERY upset, and he had bitten several other groomers, so I was worried. But they told me not to worry, and one of the techs (Michelle) made a friend out of Gabriel (as much as possible) and she did a beautiful lion cut on him. We met Dr. Sam who did routine shots on him and an exam, and a relationship began with All Pets. Gabey was 12 when we started bringing him there. We continued to bring Gabriel (and also our other cat Natasha) to Dr. Sam for regular shots and exams. Last August in 2015, during one of Gabey's grooming/exam appointments, blood was taken and it showed some small abnormality in his kidney functions. Dr. S prescribed Science Diet kidney formula and asked us to come back in 4-5 months to take blood again. In late December, Gabriel started to lose weight, and had had a couple of accidents with blood in his stool. I thought it was that we needed to take him off the kidney food and he was due for a blood test, so we brought him in. We also ok'd an x-ray to look at his kidneys. After the exam and x-ray, there was good news and bad news. The good news was that the prescription food worked and his kidneys were fine, but the x-ray showed a mass. Dr. Sam suggested an ultrasound, and we approved that as well. The techs let me hold Gabriel while they did the ultrasound, which calmed him. Then Dr. Sam gave me the worst news I ever heard - my Gabriel had intestinal cancer. I'm going to pause this review to mention this: Hearing bad news about a pet can make a person go nuts, either silently or loudly. In the moment, you want to blame everyone - especially the "messenger", the one who gives you the diagnosis, mostly - the doctor. You resent the money you have spent because often it can get very pricey and think that the doctor or the office is swindling you in some way. You get angry and don't know where to put that anger. At that moment in time, I was told that my cat had incurable cancer AND that I owed $900. Of course I wanted to lash out - who wouldn't? But that would have been the wrong thing to do, and unfair to Dr. Sam and All Pets. Dr. Sam gave me a choice - I could put Gabriel through intestinal surgery and hope it would extend his life, or just let him live out the rest of his life and keep him comfortable. He offered me that choice, but also mentioned my 15-year-old cat might not survive surgery. I opted to let Gabey live out his life, and Dr. Sam gave me pain medication to give him when the time was coming near. 2 months later, when Gabriel couldn't walk anymore and had lost 6 pounds, we brought him in to All Pets again. Dr. Sam (and Michelle) put him down with a great deal of compassion. They printed his paws in sand and put the prints in a little shadow-box with a clipping of his beautiful fur. A few days later, we got a handwritten condolence card from the All Pets office. But the story ends well. Today, I brought our new long-haired kitten to All Pets where he got the best of care. His name is Loki, he's adorable, and we look forward to another chapter with Dr. Sam, Michelle and the rest of the staff :) Read Less

**DO NOT**USE THIS PLACE THRU THE FRIENDS OF ANIMALS SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM. This man is running a scam and did a horrible hack job on our puppy. He was rude and entirely money focused. He treated our terrified dog with a complete lack of compassion, pulling her by her leash away from us and sticking her in a crate without even looking at her. He had us come in without buying the certificate from Friends of Animals, saying it takes too long to wait for the certificate to come and he would charge the same amount as the program charges for the certificate. By the time he had talked in circles and tangents and babbled on and on about his credentials and training and talked in circles some more, we ended up paying even more than it would have cost for our own vet to do the surgery. This man is a con. And I am filled with regret that I entrusted our puppy's care to him. If I could post a photo of what this poor dog's incision site looks like two weeks post-op after having the staples removed, you would see what I mean by hack job. It looks like a kid did this surgery. The staples were placed so carelessly she has lacerations up the length of the incision site from the staples digging into her skin. It's awful. So deeply regret using this "vet". Read Less

The staff at All Pets truly go above and beyond to make sure their patients are comfortable and taken care of. I took my German Shepherd Trigger to All Pets on new years eve, he was in bad shape. We decided the best course of action would be exploratory surgery, they were supposed to close at 2 but stayed and did the surgery. He was kept there for a few days because he wasn't improving, Dr. Sam opened on days that they were closed just so we could go see Trigger. He just came home and is as happy as ever. All in all Dr. Sam, Dr. Fete and the wonderful staff at All Pets saved my dogs life and I can't express how incredibly grateful I am. They took absolutely amazing care of Trigger and made sure he came home to me.Read Less

I have brought my cats to Dr Sam on and off for many years. I have lived in many places and have seen many vets. Dr. Sam is by far my favorite. He is thorough and he cares about your pet and he offers competitive pricing. I recommend him to everyone in central Jersey. If anything serious were to occur to my pets, they will be seeing Dr Sam even though I live an hour away now. Read Less
