I brought a rat to Dr.Greco under the assumption that he was a rather competent exotic veterinarian. When I first arrived, the door was locked and I was greeted by a slobby looking man, who, after about 5 minutes of standing in the rain, let us in without a word. The secretaries were extremely standoffish (when they finally mozied out from the back room to process us). After about 10 minutes, the same sloppy looking man greeted us as the veterinarian. After viewing the accolades hanging on the walls of the office (which he felt the need to make reference to), He took a quick look at my rat. In his ears and eyes and not much else. We asked if he might do a panel to check for disease and he declined and said it wouldn't be necessary. After our lightning quick visit, I was promptly charged $75 (for what?) and given a "clean bill of health". They recommended I bring him back for a neuter in 2 months (absurdly late in his life for this operation). About a week later, my rat, after acting extremely sluggish, died in the night time. I can't help but wonder if Dr.Greco put just a little bit more effort in, my rat would still be alive. In addition, I used to work for one of Dr.Greco's high profile clients who does reptile shows in this area. I was SHOCKED to learn that the animals had even been "cleared" by a vet because of their horrible and in some cases near fatal conditions. If you want to skip the attitude from the secretaries, and paying a fortune for no more than 5 hot minutes of this so called "renowned" doctor's time, skip this vet. Head 20 minutes east to Paumanok and I PROMISE you will leave feeling like you got your money's worth. Read Less
