St Francis Animal Hospital
Brooklyn, New York
General Info
St Francis Animal Hospital delivers veterinary care to Brooklyn and nearby New York areas by structuring visits as behavior-as-dialogue sessions that synchronize animal comfort with family input and clinical steps in real time. Examinations initiate not through physical contact but through mental focus. Staff scrutinize subtle animal actions such as eye contact initiation, breathing patterns upon hearing voices, and movement tendencies in response to motion stimuli. Care then unfolds in parts. The examination of a pet's skin, coat, and joints depends on its anchoring movements and how it leans or stiffens. Internal reviews teeth abdomen heart rhythm follow when signs of trust appear. At the same time owners deliver contextual information about alterations in daily patterns along with new sounds their pets respond to and shifts in walking or feeding routines. St Francis Animal Hospital provides an extensive range of services including early-life exams and diagnostics as well as energy balance strategies, oral health planning, age-related joint tracking, and illness-specific mapping. Behavioral patterns dictate varying timeframes. Certain appointments progress rapidly due to unmistakable consent signals. Some changes extend gradually over various phases which allows the animal to process each step. Pets who require recalibration before proceeding can access dedicated quiet areas and pause zones. The essence of post-visit care translates into complex household management processes. Elements to watch during sleep periods combined with methods for routine reestablishment and timing for silent cue observation including family withdrawal appetite loss and spatial guarding. It is recommended that owners document temporal patterns alongside symptomatology. At what time does restlessness appear? During which daily period do hesitations reach their maximum frequency? St Francis Animal Hospital provides guidance to Brooklyn families and nearby New York areas by recognizing pet behavior as a living signal which animals present through every pause nudge and daily shift instead of during crises.

This has been my veterinarian place for many years. I actually followed Dr. Brigande from his other job. I am so happy with all the staff. I've never met more compassionate, caring, loving and professional people. They feel your pain when you lose a furbaby. They go to the furthest possible to help your pet. I highly recommend this place for all your veterinary needs. Thanks St. Francis for all you do.

Balanced, reasonable vet. They offer a variety of treatments rather than insisting on an overpriced expensive procedure.
My cat Juju had red gums and a different vet had recommended expensive procedures involving possible tooth extraction. I came here for second opinion. They gave antibiotics, recommended brushing his teeth and after using the prescription for a couple weeks the infection in the mouth went away. I’m so glad that St Francis saved my boy from going through a painful and unnecessary procedure! I’ll be taking all of my pets here from now on.

Once again it has been confirmed that I will never go back to this office.They are nasty and overpriced. They gauge their prices at every turn. They think they know everything, and they don't. This is why I travel 40 minutes to go to a real vet. Always trust your instincts and never settle for subpar veterinary care for your dog!

Thank you guys for being in this neighborhood. They really take care of your pets.. Clean and professionals.. I found out that last time I visited them, they forgot to give me something but charged me for that.. No questions needed, they gave it to me right away.. The Italian doctor that I can't recall her name is great.. So friendly with me and my dog.. The Russian guy too.. Even if you have to wait a few more minutes than your appointment is scheduled for it worth the waiting... But the best on this animal hospital is the prices.. Really reasonable for what you get for.. See you on the next appointment guys.. Strongly Suggest it!!!

Nothing but good things to say about St. Francis Animal Hospital. We were seen fairly quickly but were there about 2 1/2 hours. My kitty is quite sick. They were so thorough, running many tests. Every single thing was explained to me in detail. They took their time. The staff treated my boy like royalty. Now I'm awaiting test results to find out what the next step will be. I should not have waited so long to switch veterinarians. I highly recommend St. Francis to anyone that needs animal care.

After moving to Brooklyn from Manhattan with an elderly boxer, I searched for a good vet. There was one on my doorstep. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic, the vets and the staff. Towards the end of his life, Oscar began suffering swelling, abscesses and other illnesses. St. Francis was there for me. And they were there for me at the end when I made the decision to end Oscar's suffering. The allowed me ugly-snot-cry, held me and him and were so gentle that I don't think I can ever forget the staff's kindness.

I can't say enough about this place. The staff and doctors are terrific. I brought our first westie spunky there to be boarded while we went away, for the weekend and they treated her so well, taking her for walks and playing with her. Even when we brought her in on her last and final visit, as her kidneys and liver were failing, dr Thompson was so amazing. We then thought we wouldn't get another dog for awhile, then one day Dr Thompson called and said she had a westie who was hit by a car, and if he survived the surgery would we want him, we immediately said yes, and she had been treating him until last October when we relocated to our new home in Arizona. We miss all the staff at St Francis animal hospital, and have text them to anyone of our friends in Brooklyn. As far as we are concerned the team at at francis is tops they get A++ in our book.

Dr. Steven Brigande and his assistant Paul were very inviting and explained the health issues my cat had. They really took the time to make sure my cat was comfortable. I didn't wait long for them to call my cat and I in. I would recommend this place even though it is a bit costly but very well worth it. It is hard to come across caring, knowledgeable doctors that will take the time in going in depth and explaining whats best for your pet.

One of my favorite vets. One of the few vets offices that I trust with my pup. The doctor is extremely helpful and honest. The staff is down to earth and understanding.

Once again it has been confirmed that I will never go back to this office.They are nasty and overpriced. They gauge their prices at every turn. They think they know everything, and they don't. This is why I travel 40 minutes to go to a real vet. Always trust your instincts and never settle for subpar veterinary care for your dog!

Thank you guys for being in this neighborhood. They really take care of your pets.. Clean and professionals.. I found out that last time I visited them, they forgot to give me something but charged me for that.. No questions needed, they gave it to me right away.. The Italian doctor that I can't recall her name is great.. So friendly with me and my dog.. The Russian guy too.. Even if you have to wait a few more minutes than your appointment is scheduled for it worth the waiting... But the best on this animal hospital is the prices.. Really reasonable for what you get for.. See you on the next appointment guys.. Strongly Suggest it!!!

Nothing but good things to say about St. Francis Animal Hospital. We were seen fairly quickly but were there about 2 1/2 hours. My kitty is quite sick. They were so thorough, running many tests. Every single thing was explained to me in detail. They took their time. The staff treated my boy like royalty. Now I'm awaiting test results to find out what the next step will be. I should not have waited so long to switch veterinarians. I highly recommend St. Francis to anyone that needs animal care.

Very over priced I pay $600 + just for blood work and a sono for my dog which had a weight drop, results came back as if my dog had nothing and they kept calling and insisting I leave my dog for over night testing charging additional 4-500, my dog gladly recuperated and is ok! I'm just mad for over paying for some simple blood work and a sono

After moving to Brooklyn from Manhattan with an elderly boxer, I searched for a good vet. There was one on my doorstep. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic, the vets and the staff. Towards the end of his life, Oscar began suffering swelling, abscesses and other illnesses. St. Francis was there for me. And they were there for me at the end when I made the decision to end Oscar's suffering. The allowed me ugly-snot-cry, held me and him and were so gentle that I don't think I can ever forget the staff's kindness.

I can't say enough about this place. The staff and doctors are terrific. I brought our first westie spunky there to be boarded while we went away, for the weekend and they treated her so well, taking her for walks and playing with her. Even when we brought her in on her last and final visit, as her kidneys and liver were failing, dr Thompson was so amazing. We then thought we wouldn't get another dog for awhile, then one day Dr Thompson called and said she had a westie who was hit by a car, and if he survived the surgery would we want him, we immediately said yes, and she had been treating him until last October when we relocated to our new home in Arizona. We miss all the staff at St Francis animal hospital, and have text them to anyone of our friends in Brooklyn. As far as we are concerned the team at at francis is tops they get A++ in our book.

Every time I took my Boxer Buddy I was treated wonderfully. Buddy didn't even mind going. On our last visit when I had to put Buddy to sleep the doc Steven Brigante was wonderful, compassionate and let me say good-bye in my own time. If I ever give my heart to another dog St, Francis will continue to be my vet. All the doc's , assistants and receptionists were wonderful.

They ripped me off by charging me almost $500 for blood work on a senior cat. Most other places charge 160-180.

Dr. Steven Brigande and his assistant Paul were very inviting and explained the health issues my cat had. They really took the time to make sure my cat was comfortable. I didn't wait long for them to call my cat and I in. I would recommend this place even though it is a bit costly but very well worth it. It is hard to come across caring, knowledgeable doctors that will take the time in going in depth and explaining whats best for your pet.

Been coming to this clinic for my temperamental little dog since 2006, and they have been nothing but patient, understanding and professional in all dealings about his welfare. Drs Battiato, Brigande, Thomson and Augiello are excellent with pet-handling skills to match (and my dog's a tough cookie!), and the vet techs are such wonderful souls. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
