Talk about friendly, knowledgeable staff, clean animal hospital. We love how the staff is always on there A game, quick to help, friendly and caring. Hands down the best Animal hospital we have been too. And with our German shorthair pointer getting hurt a lot out of start we have experienced some horrible animal hospitals. Read Less

Very caring veterinarians and staff who are knowledgeable about medical problems and presentation. They are, however, not very helpful with other issues like health maintenance, mental and emotional issues. My greatest concern about them is them overcharging by ordering unnecessary tests, overprescribing with money-making being their top priority. I work in the medical field, so I know what is optional (merely money-making) test and what is necessary. I hate to come back to my family at the end of the day with an invoice with a long list of unnecessary procedures: all of which without seeking my consent. The tests they order do not harm my pets significantly (like repeating blood draw, giving them a lot of extra benign medications and x-rays every few hours), but they certainly are excessive.

A veterinarian hospital where they show compassion, kindness and care. I have been bringing my cats for over 10 years now. They have seen many of our cats. We have always been treated with love. They do have a great staff and all the Drs are wonderful. My experience has been positive. Read Less

*****PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS THERE THEY ARE CROOKS, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PETS THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Instead of paying them give donation to nonprofit animal organization they have more love than them. Really bad experience Read Less

My Cat was sick in December, and I went to this facility, first off when I walked in, it's smelled so good, surprisingly I didn't expect it to smell nothing else but animals scent. The staff and the Vet were super kind, and helpful. They cared about the well being of my Tigger. Then they followed up by calling me the next day, and the day after to see how he was doing!! Plus their fees werent bad. That's def a grate place to take your sick pet for care. Read Less

We would like to thank everyone for the excellent care we received for our cat. Dr. Malik explained everything thoroughly and was very caring and professional. The facility was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you for all of your help, Blue. Read Less

Please people if you just purchase your new puppy and it's having a "kennel Cough" don't bring it to Bellerose animal hospital. Day 1 will cost you $2000+ They will make sure to scare the hell out of you and convince you to leave it over night. DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will be charged thousands per day. This is how this hospital operates. Don't be a victim. Unfit for sale, what a joke. Read Less

I would like to describe my encounter with this business from the moment an appointment was scheduled. I will not state my opinion, you can read and make that on your own. My dog was having digestive problems and was vomiting. I panicked when I saw he threw up blood. 1. Called to schedule an appointment that same day, I was told there were no available appointments. We persisted on the getting him in that day, we were told that if its an emergency, we would need to pay a $500 emergency fee along with consultation fee which is $55. BluePearl Veterinary Partners, I believe is $163 and if you live in the Bronx or close $75, average cost for emergency is $100 2. Scheduled an appointment for the next day, since my dog seemed like his usual self. 3. Went in, began signing the usual forms. While I was writing, 2 staff members were speaking with the receptionist. I did not hear what was said to her just what she responded. Her response was "why? why is she any different. that's not what we do with everyone else" the 2 staff members were upset and said "you always do this". They went to the back to talk privately. I was a little paranoid so when the receptionist returned, I questioned her if the conversation they had was about me. She did not look me in the eye when she said no. I told her I was uncomfortable and pushed her to give me a 'look me in the eye response' She said they were not talking about me, fine. 4. No one was in the waiting room so I was called as soon as I got there, great. 5. On the table in the vet office, they use a dirty towel to place your pet, very sanitary btw. One staff member ask the usual questions, I answer explaining his issues. She leaves the room and returns with the 'vet'. I explain my dog's issues and she says they will return with an estimate. Side note: vet said my dog had stomach pain, second opinion else where said he did not have stomach pain. 6. Estimate for x-ray and blood work (which was broken down to 7 separate test and charges) = $1,221.60. X-RAY alone $240 7. Same analysis all included $359 elsewhere, which I did that same day, X-RAY alone $125 8. I declined to proceed with their business, the staff member said " the longer i wait the higher the bill will get. my dog may seem fine now but the next day that can drastically change (thank you for your concern with my wallet)" My dog is okay, his diet just needed to change. Overall, I will not return to this business. Read Less

So CONSIDERATE! I brought my cat who is almost 13 years old in for a check up, yearly vaccines, and have the doctor assess him for anxiety medication for a long car drive we will be taking in a few weeks. My first impression walking through the front doors was how clean and open the front desk and waiting area is. They atmosphere felt calm and was greeted with a smile as soon as I walked in. I didn't know this at the time, but they are a "Cat Friendly Practice" approved by the American Association of Feline Practitioners and that made me feel better about bringing my cat in since he fairly older, extremely scared of loud noises, and get's very nervous when we travel in the car or go to new places. This establishment could not have been more perfect. The vet assistant already had a warm blanket with cat nip on it waiting for us inside the consult room which I very much appreciated. Dr. Chen saw us within 5 minutes of being in the consult room and was so wonderful with my cat! He was calm, gentle, and informed me of everything he was doing and administrating to my cat. He explained step by step and in detail of how we could help my cat during the three day car journey we would be taking and gave me an option of a holistic way to treat him first before we jumped right into giving him medication. I couldn't have been more pleased with the staff, our choice in vet offices to visit and truly felt like they went above and beyond in my cats care. They are very reasonably priced (my cousin is a vet and told me what pricing should be for visit, vaccines, meds, etc) and the total of what I paid matched very close to the number they charged me for my visit. I was very pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone seeking a caring and educated vet! Read Less

Dr. Hernandez is the most amazing vet I have ever had the luck of meeting. She cares so deeply for each and every animal, as well as their humans. We followed Dr. Hernandez from another practice and have recommended her for over 10 years to every person we know with pets. She gives outstanding care and is incredibly compassionate. We are so fortunate to have someone like her and her team so close to us!!! Read Less

Loving and caring staff. Their always super friendly and you can tell they have a genuine love for animals. I took my in-laws dog there after he was hit by a car and they provided top notch care, he was running and back to normal ahead of schedule. And the cost came in under the estimate. Their good at letting you know what things could cost at the high end so you don't get those surprise heart attack bills. And their understanding when it comes to making decisions about your dog's health where you have to weigh the value against the cost. Very trustworthy and highly recommended. Read Less

Took my puppy (pitbull) here and the staff was very attentive and caring. It's hard to find a vet that is nurturing and gentle, especially with my hyperactive puppy, but they were just that. Their service is highly recommended. Read Less

If you can get pass the front desk you will find the kind of staff you would want for yourself and trust your with pet. I want to thank Kyle, their PR person, who's very patient and wants the best for his clients. Doctor Hernandez is the best. She's very personable, knowledgeable and clearly loves her job. I want to thank her for making my visit pleasant and fun. However, the front desk girls need to lighten up; be clear about information and at the very least smile, it helps. Over all, I would definitely bring my cat back to Bellerose Hospital. Read Less

I do not think anyone should ever take their pet to a vet that prefers surgery over noninvasive healing methods. I can not begin to explain the terror this office gave us. Not only did 3 different doctors call within 1 week but every time there was either a mix up or just flat out wrong information. Our dog was experiencing difficulty urinating so we took her in, got x-rays and it was determined she had bladder stones. Of course I am aware there are different types of stones and it was quite possible that she may have to have surgery. We were given a stone dissolving food and antibiotic and within 10 days from the diagnosis we received a call saying we should schedule surgery for the next coming Monday. Something did not seem right to me and I didn't care if I had to start from the beginning and pay for the same tests again but THANKFULLY I went to get a second opinion. Long story short - our 2nd opinion vet advised it was way too soon to determine if surgery was needed as it takes 1-2 months for the stones to begin dissolving or to dissolve completely (not 10 days not 2 weeks). We also learned it is rare for the stones to obstruct a females urinary tract and being that they were not large we did not have to worry (yet). STONES DISSOLVED AND 2ND X-RAYS WERE CHECKED OVER BY A RADIOLOGIST TO CONFIRM!!!!!!!! NO SURGERY IS NEEDED AND EVERYTHING BELLEROSE TOLD ME WAS COMPLETELY INCORRECT AND MISLEADING. I AM ALSO DISGUSTED THAT THE QUOTE FOR SURGERY WAS OVER DOUBLE THE COST WE RECEIVED WHEN GETTING QUOTES FROM 2 OTHER VETS. I really hope this vet office shapes up, I am sure they are aware that PETS mean the world to their owners and I would hate for this to ever happen to anyone else. Read Less

Extraordinary medical treatments combined with extraordinary compassion and care. I have been a client at Bellerose for 20 years. The veterinarians at Bellerose, under the directorship of Dr. Andrew Karmin, are all experts in the latest medical advances. What's more, all the staff members, including the doctors, technicians, and assistant technicians, treat their patients as though they were their own beloved pets. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Dr. Karmin and Dr. Mariliz Hernandez for saving Jack. Read Less

wonderful.!!! the prices are similar to other vets but for me what makes them the "BEST" is Dr. Hernandez! met her about 10 years ago at another office then lost track of her to my pets disadvantage. however I found her again here at Bellerose Animal Hosp. and cannot recommend her magic with getting pets better! her knowledge, patience and compassion is unmatched by any vet I've taken my pets to EVER! If you need a great vet, see Doctor Hernandez, I promise you will agree with me. everyone I recommend her to (and thats many) agrees that she's the best. you will too. Thank you Doctor Hernandez!
