Chestnut Ridge Animal Clinic

All of my experiences at Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital have been great. Andrea has great bedside manner and is compassionate to family and pet needs. She has always gone above and beyond for me and for that I am truly grateful. Thanks Andrea :) Read Less

Dr. Randazzo and her staff are absolutely amazing. They are caring, efficient, and go the extra mile to help me be a better pet parent. I am a proactive person who asks a lot of questions and they understand this, want me to feel comfortable, and always support me with whatever I need for my dog. I cannot say enough about this animal hospital. Read Less

Dr. Randazo is excellent. Not too many vets take the time to listen to owners. She treats every animal as an individual not a case. From my experience as a pet owner and breeder this is rare in the world of Medicine. Read Less

My family and I have four dogs between us and have always have had an excellent experience with Dr. Randazzo and her staff! Very personal, proffesional and always treat our dogs like they were their own. I have close friends that bring their pets there and ha e the same caring experience that we do. I highly recommend Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital. Read Less

I was with Dr. Smith for years, and when Dr. Andrea took over for him I stayed, I can not say enough about how she has taken care of my dog, we have had a couple cancer surgeries and my cat as well. She is always professional, honest and considerate of my feelings in delicate situations to due with my dogs health. The cat was a stray someone dropped off at our house, I took to doctor to have her give shots etc. so I could try to adopt out and honestly say he was healthy, when doctor did the cats initial exam, she realized that the cat was about a year old and not neutered, she said since I was paying for all the shots for the cat she would like to neuter for no charge, and she did that evening, she had the cat stay and I picked him up the next day. After a couple of adoptions that did not work out, the cat is now mine and 4 years old and in excellent health thanks to Dr. Andrea! I love her and her staff!!! Read Less

Unprofessional and inattentive. We see our pet as a member of our family so words can hardly describe how disheartening our experience was. We brought our cat in for a routine checkup and the staff already made administrative mistakes on his paperwork saying he was the wrong age (we brought documents from prior visits with this information). The doctor briefly introduced herself and then proceeded to check his heartbeat and his teeth and said that the exam was over. She did not look in his ears, feel his stomach or notice the flea dander that was on his fur (he is a white cat). After the extremely short examination he was given two shots (they put the shot labels in the wrong place on his shot record) and sent him on his way. He had a fever for 9 DAYS following that visit! We took him to another doctor who took much more time and attention to detail and now our cat has recovered. We scheduled a meeting with the original doctor to explain what had happened and she became immediately defensive and said very unprofessional things to my wife that I will not repeat. Please consider taking your pet to another doctor. We chose Dr. Gill at Brookside Medical and he has been great. Read Less

Never have ever waited more than a few hours for an in house test can't believe after 2 days the vet is to busy to get the test done more staff than Dr. Smith ever had and he always got his work done guess I will be looking for a new vet. Very disappointed!!! Read Less

Let's just say, I've never dealt with better people. An emergency came along as they do in life and Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital were there with open arms. They saved my puppies life and I can't thank them enough. Read Less

Dr. Andrea is wonderful- she always takes the time to address any additional questions and clearly cares for all the animals she treats. Our two dogs always respond very well to her, both have at separate times needed surgeries and we have never had any issues afterwards. The cost for treatments is very reasonable as well. Highly recommend Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital! Read Less

Dr. Andrea was my vet several years ago when she was located in NJ. She is the kindest, most compassionate vet I have met. She took great care of my cocker over the years, and came to our house when the time came for us to say goodbye to our beloved pet. She is a wonderful vet and person. Read Less

I love the fact that my animals love going to Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital. They always fly out of the car and run to the front door. And that tells me that if they are that happy and content then that's all that I require.Read Less

I rescued a dog about three months ago named hailey, she was a beautiful but neglected and abused Australian cattle dog. Upon dropping her off to Chestnut Ridge to be spade I said to be gentle and that she has been abused but never bit anyone. Then about an hour later got a call saying they tried to muzzle her and that they couldn't get near her so we got in the car and rushed there. When I got there I asked to see her and I also asked to know what exactly happened after I left because I was afraid something had happened to her and the receptionist replied "I KNOW" very rudely and went downstairs leaving me standing there worried something was going on. Then when I was taken to her she looked terrified and was in a dingy basement and then I asked where her brother had been castrated and they said on the table in front of her. Hailey's made huge steps in even coming up to people and Max her brother has made that possible for her so then I thought no wonder she was scared. So I asked the doctor what she exactly did and no one would tell me and the Veterinarian C. David Smith told me I was stupid for getting worked up and worried and he was extremely unprofessional. He then insisted we leave with both Hailey and her brother Max who not twenty minutes earlier had surgery because he didn't want to see our faces again. I had to carry Max to the car because he was still so drugged up he could barely open his eyes and the Vet did not care one bit about his well being. While all this went on there was someone elses dog cut open and just laying on the table in the open room next to us. I then later found out he gave vaccinations at the time of castration which every local vet says is dangerous and I was never told there was a risk. He also had about two inches of loose skin where other vets now have told me he should have had a clean cut and so did many other dogs that were castrated by Smith. All in all I'm sorry i put Hailey through all this, I don't believe Smith cares at all for animals, but instead for the money there owners will dish out to save them and I will never be going back.
