Dr. Kaye and his staff are always very kind and treat all of their patients very well. I've been taking my dogs to Bayside Veterinary center for 20 years. We have 5 dogs that are currently cared for by them. My Pomeranian was his patient from the day we brought her home as a puppy till the day she passed away at the age of 17. She had many health problems throughout her long life and we were lucky enough to have Dr. Kaye care for her. I highly recommend this vet! Read Less

Dr. Kaye has lost his passion for being a true veterinarian. Seen him do a neuter with his hands and no gloves. Reading the review that was recent, I'm not surprised someone found a hole, to where he didn't patch up their animal well enough after the spay or neuter properly. If you do the work right the first time, you wouldn't have to have people come back to pay more for your malfeasance. Just ask Eric, his right hand kiss ass. Be careful doing surgeries here or leaving your animal to board! Don't take my word for it, just surprise visit your animal every now and then and check up on them!! People can always assure you of what you want to hear, but BEWARE the lies told by Dr. Kaye and his staff! The true animal lovers will show compassion to animals, not like they have ever given a shit!! Hey, don't take my word for it!! I'm sure other former employees can dish as much DIRT as there is literally in the Goddamm place! Last time I checked, mice and rat infestation!! Hope they changed all that!! That guy Danni uses rat traps, and which I've been told they drown them in bleach!! They ethics are in humane!! That's just some 411 the world really needs to know about this shit hole! I wish I could say different, but I can't!! God help those poor animals! If you LOVE YOUR ANIMALS AT ALL, don't take it HERE! Review the spot yourself and see for your own eyes!! I'm not the first and I know I won't be he last person to express how deeply concerned I am for the pet parents who trust in this place and the care of the people who work there. Dr. Kaye is heartless!! Save YOUR ANIMAL!! Don't get surgery done here!!!! Take them to professionals with care!!!! If people knew what this place didn't show, no one would go! And that's for the best!!! Go ahead, see for yourself! Beware the lies, of course they want you feeling safe, makes you think your pet is in good hands; but are they really? You be the judge!!! May angels watch over those poor animals!! Read Less

Dr. Kaye helped us to make the right decision regarding our Micro Teacup Yorkie. I found him to be compassionate and honest with a genuine interest in the future welfare of the dog. It is very hard to make the right decision regarding your pet because of the emotional attachment but with the right information, you make the right decision for the animal. I highly recommend the Bayside Veterinary Center to take care of your pet. Read Less

I was too devastated to even do anything about the situation that happened to my poor baby and didn't have the courage to write this until now. Last year my 11 year old yorkie was acting lethargic panting and laying on the floor and i knew something wasnt right and the nearest vet was here so I took her immediately. Dr. Took X-rays and did bloodwork and kept her overnight with fluids. They asked me what i feed my dogs and I told them I feed them a raw kibble diet. The STAFF immediately gave me condescending looks, shook their heads and the Dr. Says to me "THEY'RE NOT WOLVES THEY'RE DOGS!" I stayed quiet and didnt even wanna argue bc I was more worried about my baby. ( the other 2 vets I normally go to believe a raw diet is best for dogs and I know every Dr. Has a different opinion.) I pick her up the next day and they tell me she has pancreatitis and give me medication for her to take and he tells me to buy her MIRALAX so she can poop. I blame myself for not going to another Vet and getting a second opinion on what could've been done for her. She seemed to be a little more perked up but the next day when i woke up she was laying on the ground panting like crazy again. I went into the office again and asked the receptionist if they had anything for her to ease her pain and they said "yeah pancreatitis is hard for a dog but just make sure she takes her medication and she'll get through it" I get the meds go home and i cant believe how stupid I was. I literally put all my trust into the vet because what the hell do I know I really thought she would get better but something just wasnt right.I laid next to my little baby all day to monitor her. Around 11PM that day I took a shower and was getting ready for bed and saw that she was in worse condition and  just thinking about her poor little face in so much pain makes me cry. I knew something was seriously wrong so I immediately got my keys to go to a 24 hour vet clinic. As we were getting ready to leave she took her last breath and sadly passed away. I honestly blame myself for not taking her to another clinic to get a second opinion but I SHOULDVE BEEN INFORMED THAT PANCREATITIS CAN KILL MY DOG. THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. To make it worse they call me  3 or 4 days later and ask "we just wanted to check up on your dog how is she?" It was like a slap in my face.I hate to write a bad review but this place has left a sour taste in my mouth and can not help but to be mad until this day. A dog is not just some pet, a dog is family. After some research I understand some dogs can not survive pancreatitis and it is extremely painful for them. If I had known i wouldnt have let my tiny dog suffer in so much pain. I miss her so mu ch. Read Less

$800.00 to get my 20 lb dog spayed. A very common surgery most vets do it for under $500. When I asked why they charge so much, I was told that adult dogs need more attention. I wonder how they treat younger dogs. The surgery went well, according to them. But the cut wasn't fully stitched. They left a little hole. I told them there was liquid coming off of it. The Dr. put surgical glue over it, but that didn't stop the liquid dripping off the hole. Then they told me they have to "cut her open again, so bring her back in 2 days, because we have other things to do" until then. On our last visit (for a re check) after the second surgery, we were told not to bathe the dog for a whole month. Clearly these people don't know what they are doing, and don't care. They totally forgot the extra money I gave them for the extra "attention". Or they charged me more knowing they were going to mess up the first time, and need 2 surgeries. They never apologized.

Just came out from our first visit to their clinic and I must say I'm amazed at how they treated and held my dog. We had an emergency and they were able to see us as soon as possible. Their communication was excellent. They were completely professional and you can see how much they truly care for your dog like it was their own. They read and feel off the dog's vibe and facial expression as well so they are aware of what may be the issue. Truly amazing so far.

I've brought my dogs here for the last three years for check-ups, vaccines and boarding and I've always had a good experience. I asked to see the kennel facilities when I dropped off my dogs and everything was clean and orderly. The staff are kind, friendly and accommodating (even when I've been one of those clingy, overly-protective dog moms I swore I'd never be). Dr. Kaye has always been gentle and patient with my chihuahuas. His sense of humor may be a little rough around the edges but I appreciate that and if you can't handle it, you don't belong in Queens. My dogs are well taken care of, and that's the bottom line. Read Less

Asked when I came in with my dog " Wow, is she still alive? ". My dog was misdiagnosed by doctor kay. It took her almost dying when I took her to a reputable Animal Hospital to find out that she had diabetes. He was bleeding my family dry by doing all these tests, and he said that she was just getting old. Be careful and watch everything that he does with your animal. check your bills I know something is just not right with your dog or cat or other animals, please take them somewhere else. My doggy is alive after a very expensive hospital stay. She is a diabetic and will get shots for the rest of her life. Unfortunately dr. king could not diagnose a case of diabetes early so we did not have to go through that. He refused to send my dog's medical records to the hospital because he knew he screwed up.

We have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 12 years and he has always been great. Dr. Kaye is very caring and compassionate. Most importantly, he does not run unnecessary tests and put animals through unnecessary pain for money. My 14 year old Pomeranian recently got hepatitis and would've died without Dr. Kaye and his crew. They kept us informed of his status and gave us daily updates. Dr. Kaye would even come on his days off to ck on my dog to make sure he's ok. I could understand why other reviewers complaint about the bill. However, vet costs are generally pretty high, especially in New York. Besides, Dr. Kaye's rate is actually much cheaper than some other multi-specialty pet hospital (such as Blue Pearl). Also, both of my friend's dogs have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 2 to 3 years and she's never had any problems either. In general, I'm really glad we have dr. Kaye as our vet. Unfortunately, people usually don't bother posting a review when they are happy with their vet experience. That s why I want to share my experience to provide a more balanced view. Read Less

We're first-time cat owners and Bayside Veterinary Center is where I took Stewie to get his shots and to be neutered and dewormed (he was a stray).  That visit was wonderful- the female vet was very kind and explained what she'd done and how I was to take care of his stitches. The next time I took Stewie in was an extremely unpleasant experience. This time, the owner of the clinic, Dr. Andrew Kaye, examined Stewie.  The cat was having roundworm issues, either because his initial round of meds had not gotten rid of the worms he'd already ahd or he'd somehow contracted them from a (leashed) romp on our front lawn. It was NOT a good experience.  While waiting for my appointment with him, I noticed how disrespectful he was to his front desk staff, who are very thoughtful and pleasant.  Dr. Kaye was rude, snotty and dismissive of my concerns and questions when he saw Stewie. I chalked his attitude up to his probably having a bad day.A year later, I brought Stewie in for his annual shots. Same snotty attitude.  You'd think I'd learned my lesson by this time, but I'm that sucker who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt over and over again. The next time I came in with Stewie, it was an emergency.  Stewie was listless, and his belly was distended (I later found out he had a urinary obstruction). Dr. Kaye was again dismissive and snotty, and this time, I knew he wasn't just having a bad day; clearly there was something about me that he found offensive because he'd been chatting very amiably and charmingly with the clients before me.  When it was my turn, he turned off the charm and was again disrespectful and snotty to me. I was struggling financially at the time and asked him if we could work out a payment schedule for what he said was an intestinal blockage. He snapped, "No!" and dismissed me from his sight.  So there I was, crying over my dying cat, and he didn't even TRY to be kind.I raced over to the Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital where they immediately whisked Stewie into the back and Dr. Mimi Kim saved his life. Ever since then, I've willingly and gladly schlepped Stewie on a bus, two trains and a hike up those UES hills because I KNOW they care.  Dr. Kim rocks and I'm sad that she moved out of the area. Wherever she is, her clients are extremely lucky people to have a wonderful vet like her. This place gets a star for having a pleasant staff and for being somewhat convenient for me.  BVC lost the other four stars because its owner is an a$$hat and treats his staff and me like dirt, not to mention he misdiagnosed Stewie as having an intestinal blockage when it was a URINARY blockage!

Dr. Kaye and his staff are always very kind and treat all of their patients very well. I've been taking my dogs to Bayside Veterinary center for 20 years. We have 5 dogs that are currently cared for by them. My Pomeranian was his patient from the day we brought her home as a puppy till the day she passed away at the age of 17. She had many health problems throughout her long life and we were lucky enough to have Dr. Kaye care for her. I highly recommend this vet! Read Less

Dr. Kaye has lost his passion for being a true veterinarian. Seen him do a neuter with his hands and no gloves. Reading the review that was recent, I'm not surprised someone found a hole, to where he didn't patch up their animal well enough after the spay or neuter properly. If you do the work right the first time, you wouldn't have to have people come back to pay more for your malfeasance. Just ask Eric, his right hand kiss ass. Be careful doing surgeries here or leaving your animal to board! Don't take my word for it, just surprise visit your animal every now and then and check up on them!! People can always assure you of what you want to hear, but BEWARE the lies told by Dr. Kaye and his staff! The true animal lovers will show compassion to animals, not like they have ever given a shit!! Hey, don't take my word for it!! I'm sure other former employees can dish as much DIRT as there is literally in the Goddamm place! Last time I checked, mice and rat infestation!! Hope they changed all that!! That guy Danni uses rat traps, and which I've been told they drown them in bleach!! They ethics are in humane!! That's just some 411 the world really needs to know about this shit hole! I wish I could say different, but I can't!! God help those poor animals! If you LOVE YOUR ANIMALS AT ALL, don't take it HERE! Review the spot yourself and see for your own eyes!! I'm not the first and I know I won't be he last person to express how deeply concerned I am for the pet parents who trust in this place and the care of the people who work there. Dr. Kaye is heartless!! Save YOUR ANIMAL!! Don't get surgery done here!!!! Take them to professionals with care!!!! If people knew what this place didn't show, no one would go! And that's for the best!!! Go ahead, see for yourself! Beware the lies, of course they want you feeling safe, makes you think your pet is in good hands; but are they really? You be the judge!!! May angels watch over those poor animals!! Read Less

Dr. Kaye helped us to make the right decision regarding our Micro Teacup Yorkie. I found him to be compassionate and honest with a genuine interest in the future welfare of the dog.

I was too devastated to even do anything about the situation that happened to my poor baby and didn't have the courage to write this until now. Last year my 11 year old yorkie was acting lethargic panting and laying on the floor and i knew something wasnt right and the nearest vet was here so I took her immediately. Dr. Took X-rays and did bloodwork and kept her overnight with fluids. They asked me what i feed my dogs and I told them I feed them a raw kibble diet. The STAFF immediately gave me condescending looks, shook their heads and the Dr. Says to me "THEY'RE NOT WOLVES THEY'RE DOGS!" I stayed quiet and didnt even wanna argue bc I was more worried about my baby. ( the other 2 vets I normally go to believe a raw diet is best for dogs and I know every Dr. Has a different opinion.) I pick her up the next day and they tell me she has pancreatitis and give me medication for her to take and he tells me to buy her MIRALAX so she can poop. I blame myself for not going to another Vet and getting a second opinion on what could've been done for her. She seemed to be a little more perked up but the next day when i woke up she was laying on the ground panting like crazy again. I went into the office again and asked the receptionist if they had anything for her to ease her pain and they said "yeah pancreatitis is hard for a dog but just make sure she takes her medication and she'll get through it" I get the meds go home and i cant believe how stupid I was. I literally put all my trust into the vet because what the hell do I know I really thought she would get better but something just wasnt right.I laid next to my little baby all day to monitor her. Around 11PM that day I took a shower and was getting ready for bed and saw that she was in worse condition and  just thinking about her poor little face in so much pain makes me cry. I knew something was seriously wrong so I immediately got my keys to go to a 24 hour vet clinic. As we were getting ready to leave she took her last breath and sadly passed away. I honestly blame myself for not taking her to another clinic to get a second opinion but I SHOULDVE BEEN INFORMED THAT PANCREATITIS CAN KILL MY DOG. THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. To make it worse they call me  3 or 4 days later and ask "we just wanted to check up on your dog how is she?" It was like a slap in my face.I hate to write a bad review but this place has left a sour taste in my mouth and can not help but to be mad until this day. A dog is not just some pet, a dog is family. After some research I understand some dogs can not survive pancreatitis and it is extremely painful for them. If I had known i wouldnt have let my tiny dog suffer in so much pain. I miss her so mu ch. Read Less

$800.00 to get my 20 lb dog spayed. A very common surgery most vets do it for under $500. When I asked why they charge so much, I was told that adult dogs need more attention. I wonder how they treat younger dogs. The surgery went well, according to them. But the cut wasn't fully stitched. They left a little hole. I told them there was liquid coming off of it. The Dr. put surgical glue over it, but that didn't stop the liquid dripping off the hole. Then they told me they have to "cut her open again, so bring her back in 2 days, because we have other things to do" until then. On our last visit (for a re check) after the second surgery, we were told not to bathe the dog for a whole month. Clearly these people don't know what they are doing, and don't care. They totally forgot the extra money I gave them for the extra "attention". Or they charged me more knowing they were going to mess up the first time, and need 2 surgeries. They never apologized.

I've brought my dogs here for the last three years for check-ups, vaccines and boarding and I've always had a good experience. I asked to see the kennel facilities when I dropped off my dogs and everything was clean and orderly.

Dr. Kaye has always been gentle and patient with my chihuahuas. His sense of humor may be a little rough around the edges but I appreciate that and if you can't handle it, you don't belong in Queens.

Asked when I came in with my dog " Wow, is she still alive? ". My dog was misdiagnosed by doctor kay. It took her almost dying when I took her to a reputable Animal Hospital to find out that she had diabetes. He was bleeding my family dry by doing all these tests, and he said that she was just getting old. Be careful and watch everything that he does with your animal. check your bills I know something is just not right with your dog or cat or other animals, please take them somewhere else. My doggy is alive after a very expensive hospital stay. She is a diabetic and will get shots for the rest of her life. Unfortunately dr. king could not diagnose a case of diabetes early so we did not have to go through that. He refused to send my dog's medical records to the hospital because he knew he screwed up.

We have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 12 years and he has always been great. Dr. Kaye is very caring and compassionate. Most importantly, he does not run unnecessary tests and put animals through unnecessary pain for money. My 14 year old Pomeranian recently got hepatitis and would've died without Dr. Kaye and his crew. They kept us informed of his status and gave us daily updates. Dr. Kaye would even come on his days off to ck on my dog to make sure he's ok. I could understand why other reviewers complaint about the bill. However, vet costs are generally pretty high, especially in New York. Besides, Dr. Kaye's rate is actually much cheaper than some other multi-specialty pet hospital (such as Blue Pearl). Also, both of my friend's dogs have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 2 to 3 years and she's never had any problems either. In general, I'm really glad we have dr. Kaye as our vet. Unfortunately, people usually don't bother posting a review when they are happy with their vet experience. That s why I want to share my experience to provide a more balanced view. Read Less

We're first-time cat owners and Bayside Veterinary Center is where I took Stewie to get his shots and to be neutered and dewormed (he was a stray).  That visit was wonderful- the female vet was very kind and explained what she'd done and how I was to take care of his stitches. The next time I took Stewie in was an extremely unpleasant experience. This time, the owner of the clinic, Dr. Andrew Kaye, examined Stewie.  The cat was having roundworm issues, either because his initial round of meds had not gotten rid of the worms he'd already ahd or he'd somehow contracted them from a (leashed) romp on our front lawn. It was NOT a good experience.  While waiting for my appointment with him, I noticed how disrespectful he was to his front desk staff, who are very thoughtful and pleasant.  Dr. Kaye was rude, snotty and dismissive of my concerns and questions when he saw Stewie. I chalked his attitude up to his probably having a bad day.A year later, I brought Stewie in for his annual shots. Same snotty attitude.  You'd think I'd learned my lesson by this time, but I'm that sucker who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt over and over again. The next time I came in with Stewie, it was an emergency.  Stewie was listless, and his belly was distended (I later found out he had a urinary obstruction). Dr. Kaye was again dismissive and snotty, and this time, I knew he wasn't just having a bad day; clearly there was something about me that he found offensive because he'd been chatting very amiably and charmingly with the clients before me.  When it was my turn, he turned off the charm and was again disrespectful and snotty to me. I was struggling financially at the time and asked him if we could work out a payment schedule for what he said was an intestinal blockage. He snapped, "No!" and dismissed me from his sight.  So there I was, crying over my dying cat, and he didn't even TRY to be kind.I raced over to the Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital where they immediately whisked Stewie into the back and Dr. Mimi Kim saved his life. Ever since then, I've willingly and gladly schlepped Stewie on a bus, two trains and a hike up those UES hills because I KNOW they care.  Dr. Kim rocks and I'm sad that she moved out of the area. Wherever she is, her clients are extremely lucky people to have a wonderful vet like her. This place gets a star for having a pleasant staff and for being somewhat convenient for me.  BVC lost the other four stars because its owner is an a$$hat and treats his staff and me like dirt, not to mention he misdiagnosed Stewie as having an intestinal blockage when it was a URINARY blockage!
