Dr. Silverman is the nicest man I have ever known. Beyond being probably the most knowledgable vet I have ever come across, his bedside manner is something I don't even know how to describe. The man makes St. Francis look like your unfriendly aunt who hates dogs. I don't trust my dogs with anyone else. This is a vet who found his calling in life, and we as dog/pet owners, are all better off for it. I drive up from South Carolina (I moved) to bring my dogs to him. That's how good he is. He saved my dog's life when a vet in SC misdiagnosed my dog after reading an X-Ray wrong. I drove 12 hours with a half dead dog in my car and Dr. Silverman took him in immediately and had the problem solved within hours. My pup is alive, happy, and healthy today. Thank you for literally being the kindest man in the world and always taking the best care of all of our best friends, even in the hardest moments.(also, the ladies at the front are the sweetest and took amazing care of my Satanic puppy when he was sick and couldn't have been kinder. Always super easy to work with and all seem to be willing to go above and beyond to help everyone. You guys are awesome too!!!) Read Less

Garden City Park Animal Hospital holds a very special place in my heart. About 7 years ago, my Maltese got out while we were getting some work done on the house. She strayed about 1 mile and ended up getting hit by a car. Luckily some construction guys saw her and brought her to this hospital. She ended up with a broken jaw with some other injuries but they nursed her back. Doctor Silverman was our primary for the next 6 years and always helped us in a professional and compassionate way. Last week was our final visit with Dr. Silverman. Our Dahnbi lived a long 14 years and we will forever be greatful for GCPAH Read Less

This was my very first time visiting the vet w my first baby.I woke up Monday morning saw my little kitten was limping and not eating. I got super worried and decided to go to Garden City Park Animal Hospital. My friend Martha referred me to see Dr.Julie. I explained my situation to the front desk re: my pet limping and they were able to squeeze me in and accommodate my availability. Dr. Julie and her assistant greeted my baby so nicely, made her feel comfortable. Did a through assessment-- I was happy to know my baby has perfect over all health *knock on wood* X-ray was done to figure out why Purry was limping. Thankfully she didn't have any broken bones. Dr.Julie explained to me, about this being common w kittens Bc they are hyperactive. She also recommended I get a crate for Purry till she heals and gave her some meds to help w any discomfort she maybe feeling. As a first time pet owner, I highly recommend this place and Dr.Julie. Read Less

Its hard to find a great vet nowadays that you can trust. All around an extremely positive experience. Had cats my entire life and can trust Dr. Julie as my go-to vet for any needs. Exceeded expectations, was caring, trustworthy. Highly recommended. Great office and atmosphere. Read Less

Can't say enough good about this place! The staff is the best treat you and your pet like family. I've had Animals my whole life and never received this kind of service. Prompt courteous and knowledgeable staff receptionists and vet techs always willing to help. Recently had my 7 year old Beagle Layla diagnosed with diabetes  Thank God for Dr Silverman and staff they saved my dog. Needed her to be spayed and have tumors removed as well. Dr Silverman took on her case after other vets failed and gave her a new life! Drive by 20 vets in queens to see them well worth it: Read Less

My husband and I chose to bring our new puppy to Garden City Park Animal Hospital because of the glowing reputation it has for its service and care. My parents have brought their dogs there for years now and having seen the true hard work, dedication, and genuine care of the doctors and the staff, there is nowhere else I would ever choose to take my dog. Everyone is truly interested in the well being of your animals and it shows. They truly have their best interest at heart and it makes for a great experience every time we go there. I would recommend this animal hospital to anyone and everyone. Read Less

Garden City Park animal hospital has truly been a savior for me and my dog. The receptionist are fabulous the doctors are on point I particularly love Dr Silverman I think he is thorough compassionate very understanding and truly loves the animals I've previously went to three other veterinarians and did not get nearly the care that I receive at this place.  I recommend them for all your pet needs Read Less

ALL and EVERYone of the doctor's and vet techs are not only very knowledgeable, but also very professional, never had a bad experience with this vet. Since adopting my dog I've taken her to Garden City Animal Hospital, and no-place else in the world I would trust with my fur-baby. Highly recommended! Your animal can't speak so let this great staff speak to you for your animal! Read Less

Look no further for a Vet for your dog! This place is as good as it gets. A tremendously caring staff and I can't say enough about the doctors. Dr. B is an amazing professional and is available via phone or email. She is really a very special lady who is clearly in the right line of work! She is thorough and caring and kind beyond words. The staff is amazing as well. The girls at the desk literally come out to greet you when you get there and know you and your pet by name. This is my 4th dog and I have been to many different vets offices, but this one will be the last stop for me. They literally treat you and your pet like family. The level of care is on point. The office is immaculate. The doctors and staff superb. Look no further-make an appointment! Read Less

Long overdue review for Dr. Silverman- he is truly the best! My English bulldog is 7 and she has been to several vets through the years. Dr. Silverman is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He also really cares and takes the time to go through all of your questions and concerns. I couldn't be happier to have him as my vet and feel that my bulldog is in the best hands always. The prices are also very reasonable and the staff is so friendly. All of the receptionists and vet techs are great. Thanks for always giving Athena the best care! Read Less

Thursday 5/24/18 I will start with the positive by saying the staff is friendly.  However, friendly does not replace competence.  I had the unfortunate pleasure of having Dr. Dattner exam my dog last Thur. We had purchased our puppy from a pet store (Shake a Paw) & the contract requires us to use either of their affiliated vets.  I chose for convenience unknowingly, my puppy was home for all of 1 day and started to vomit and have diarrhea and refused to eat.  Dr. Dattner voiced his concern over Parvo virus and letting me know it's lethal for puppies (panic mode ensued).   He recommended I keep my baby overnight since dehydration can occur leading to a bad outcome, plus he stated the pets store would be paying for it.   I point blank asked him if it were he, would he have his family stay here (at GCPAH) overnight due to potential diagnosis or move him the West Hills Vet Hospital with round the clock care.  He told me to keep him there & they will do testing and hydrate, plus, we can visit. Friday 5/25/18Called first thing in the morning ~9a and was told by phone he DID NOT have Parvo Virus, when a professional tells you this, you are inclined to believe it was ruled out via testing. So needless to say, our family was ecstatic to hear the news.  1pm went to visit and spoke to Dr. Silverman just to understand we're they stood with his diagnosis and inquired about his lab work. His answer was,  it wasn't done, then I incidentally said, minimally I'm glad to know Parvo was ruled out.  Well to my horror, his response was, I don't believe that was done either.  I will check and make sure it gets sent out.  For his part, I want to thank Dr. Silverman for his follow through.  So my baby stayed another night awaiting blood work since he required hydration.Sat. 5/26/18My kids and I went there by 1pm to see him & to review his lab results with yet another vet, she voiced concern and I immediately took my baby out of there to West Hills.  Within an hour, they did a SNAP test and diagnosed him with Parvo Virus.  Such ineptitude & carelessness is repugnant & deplorable.  My baby lost 2 days of his short lived life there.  I called the office and pointedly asked why didn't this test get administered in the office, especially since I was told how dangerous it is for puppies, the answer is shameful, the test is costly & has a short shelf life.  If this was known from the start,  in good conscious Dr. Dattner, as a medical professional, should have sent me to the vet hospital.  Tues 5/29/18My baby died and I still have yet to even hear back regarding his Parvo virus results. No family should have to go through this worry and pain.  Shame on you and you affiliation with Shake a Paw, and I truly hope the lack of testing was not to help line your pockets. Read Less

Wonderful first visit for my new Havanese Puppy! Staff is so kind, Dr. Silverman is a wonderful kind Vet. We could not be more pleased. Would highly recommend and look forward to many years of taking care of our new baby. Read Less

Great experience!  Highly recommend this practice.  I adopted a cat about 3 weeks ago.  I brought her in because she was licking and pulling out her fur.  Dr. B was wonderful with her.  She's being treated for an allergy.  Also, the  assistant, Clay, was kind enough to show me the technique for clipping her nails.

I recently brought my dog here after being very dissatisfied with his previous vet. The front desk, Dr. Silverman and his vet technician, Mary, were friendly, thorough and extremely competent.  My dog has had a number of health issues and I left feeling for the first time like he was truly in good hands. I cannot thank them enough for their care and assistance. I highly recommend Garden City Park Animal Hospital. Read Less

I drove 12 hours from Charleston to see Dr. Silverman after 2 vets in SC completely misdiagnosed my dog and could have killed him. Dr. Silverman diagnosed him and had a plan within 15 minutes of me stepping foot into the exam room, and he is home now recovering. The entire staff is awesome. It's very clear that they love what they do, and Dr. Silverman has that something extra that makes a good vet, an amazing vet. Thank you for saving my dog's life and always being so good to my two fur kids. Read Less

Dr. Silverman is AMAZING! He is incredibly thorough and gives our pup the same care and concern he would his own. He recently removed a mast cell tumor from our Frenchie and the procedure, aftercare and follow up exceeded our already high expectations. I couldn't say enough, we are so beyond pleased with Dr. Silverman and we have found the perfect vet for our little Frenchie, I wouldn't take him anywhere else!That said, the nurses and lovely women at the front desk, make the experience a pleasure, it's funny our dog actually likes going there! They are always welcoming, knowledgable and make sure we have everything we need! Read Less

Usually we see Dr. Dattner, but we needed a quick visit, which led us to seeing Dr. Julie Vasilyeva. I gave 5 Stars for Dr. Dattner, he is amazing. The only Doctor we trust!! Always friendly and thorough. If I could give stars based on which Doctor we have seen, then Dr. Julie Vasilyeva would get negative stars. She was rushed, insensible, unintellectual, immature, and RUDE. Dogs get sick, it happens, hence why we have veterinarians. Some reasons are unexplained. Our dog was sick, and her demeanor was as if she was shaming us. As if the dog being sick was our fault and that we were terrible owners. Let me say, we love our dog and take such good care of him. It was extremely rude of a Doctor to act that way. Doctor Dattner would never have acted that way. Shame on her. Horrible addition to the staff! Read Less

I took my puppy Lola here 3 times now and I couldn't of chosen a better veterinary hospital to take her to. The doctors and staff are amazing here! Thank you for being patient with me as I'm a new doggy mommy and taking such good care of LolaRead Less

Amazing. I took my 2 year old kittens (yes to me they will always be kittens) to see Dr. Vasileyva after a friend's recommendation. I couldn't be happier. I met with Dr. Vasileyva and she answered all my questions, gave advice and was very caring with my kittens. I've been back several times for different issues and have always been happy with my experience. I've also called Dr. Vasileyva a few times w/ questions and she's always available to help. I would recommend Garden City Park Animal Hospital and Dr. Vasileyva to anyone in the market for a vet! They genuinely love pets! Read Less

I have been using this hospital for many years and always loved it. My family all use Dr Dattner, always have. Something is different my last several visits. My dog has been chronically ill for the last 10 months which brings us there regularly. It used to be warm and friendly. It doesn't feel that way anymore. I asked to speak to the manager, Sue who is always helpful. I found out she isn't there anymore. The new person is nice but everything is different. And not good different. The feel of the hospital is off, the staff is all new and there are some other staff are still there who should have been replaced long ago. It's lost the family feel. The staff was shouting at each other that I could hear while my dog was "in the back " and inappropriate language for work. Not a great experience as it once was. Shame. Now that my old girl is feeling better, I don't think we will be going back. Read Less

GCPAH is the best! They saved both my dogs life. My puppy contracted lepto and my 13 year old has cushings and Yuliya Bashkatova is the best ever. She makes herself available via email to answer any questions when your animals ill and the entire staff are so devoted and the animals feel the love. Read Less

We love Dr. Socci, she is great with our puppy and explains everything clearly to us. Front desk staff & vet techs also really nice. And I like the online portal with all my puppy's information.  The cost of services is a bit high but I don't think you'll find much cheaper in Nassau. And they have weekend appointments, which is a huge plus!  Great place, they know what they are doing Read Less

I recently switched to Dr Silverman for my 5 year old English bulldog. He seems very knowledgeable and caring. Any time I meet with him I learn something new about the breed. I have been here a couple times and I have always been seen quickly. The staff is very kind to my dog and I. They have reasonable prices and good hours! Read Less

As a local mobile groomer, I had a hard time finding a veterinarian that had the same passion and care for animals that I have... But when I met Dr. Silverman and his staff I was finally pleasantly surprised and amazed.. he diagnosed my toy poodle Pixie and helped her when many vets could not.. he truly pays attention to everything about your pet and does not give up where many have. What a gem.. Thank you GCPAH for your true dedication to helping out beloved pets. Keep up the amazing work! Read Less

Dr Silverman is such a delight, we were referred to GCP by our own vet for our frenchie's neutering so his soft palette could also be examined. He was so patient and helpful in explaining all possible scenarios and suggestions. Read Less

Our cat was suddenly very sick and ended up needing emergency surgery. Dr Silverman and the staff at Garden City Park Animal Hospital were able to save his life and made the experience as smooth as it could have been. We would recommend anyone take their pets here. Staff is amazing and they have shown that they pay very close attention and put in the effort to get to know each animal. Shadow normally does not do well at vets and it was very clear he felt safe and comfortable under their care. Read Less

Very impressed on our first visit here - my dog Jimbo was very happy with the staff and how receptive they were to him. Dr. Dattner is phenomenal and personable - he treated my dog as if he was his own. Reasonably priced and easy to work with - gave us different options on what to do. Read Less

I really do love the Drs. and the staff at Garden City Animal Hospital.  The problem I have is not the hospital itself but the cost.  Took my 14 month old pup for his yearly check up and walked out of there $495.00 out of my pocket.  They said he needed a rabie shot and yearly physical.  I was figuring 200.00.  He ended up getting 4 shots, blood work, need to bring in stool sample which I was never told and billed 65.00 for testing.  How about a heads up to your customers to bring a half a grand for a yearly check up.  It did not cost me this much to bring 3 kids to the  pediatrician.  I think this is insaneAfter speaking with Jennifer my problem has been resolved.  Like I said the hospital itself is great, doctors, assistants and front desk.  A heads up for high cost visits would be extremely considerate to customers. This is my only complaint.  Thank you for taking the time to discuss this matter with me. Read Less

We have two very energetic English Bulldogs and they love Dr. Silverman and the staff at GCP animal hospital. They have always accommodated us and answered all our questions. We have had them boarded here for a week with no trouble and have had successful spay/neuter procedures done as well. They treat our dogs just like they were their own! Read Less

Super friendly staff. Understanding and very helpful. Mary, one of the assistants, in particular, is AMAZING. I rescued my pit/boxer baby when she was a puppy from an abusive home. Ever since she has been very stranger aggressive and very over protective of me. I was sooooo scared to bring her to the vet...afraid she would bite someone or just bug out in general. GCPAH gave me a sedative to give her and have a private entrance for difficult dogs like my lil monster. Mary was the BEST. She was great with Rye....the first stranger Rye hasn't growled or barked at. I was a wreck the whole visit crying. Mary was sweet and answered all my questions and gave me so much information about how to move forward. She took an experience I was dreading and scared of and so upset about and actually made it a positive one. She rocks. Read Less

Dr. Silverman has been treating my dog since she was 8 weeks old. She was recently diagnosed with Addison's disease and became very I'll prior to diagnosis. Dr. Silverman was able to detect that it was Addison's and treated it right away. He literally saved her life. I trust my dog with no one but Dr. Silverman and garden city park animal hospital. His treatment of my dog was so above and beyond, my aunt immediately switch her dog from another vet to Dr. Silverman. He is the best in the industry. Read Less

GCPAH is THE BEST group of Vets I've ever been to. Dr. Dattner & Dr. Silverman have been outstanding in their diagnosis & care of my dog, Greco. Each time we come in, Greco is so happy to see everyone! That speaks volumes. Thank you EVERYONE for your warmth, professionalism & obvious deep compassion of all animals who mark (figuratively lol) your doorstep. Georgette Borden <3 :-) Read Less

We know there is a circle to life. Good veterinarians help us live through the joys and sorrow. We bring our pups and kittens for their first exams, live with them many happy years, tend to their needs with age, and eventually need to say goodbye with thankful hearts for the good times. The folks at Garden City Animal Hospital have been our partners in the care of all our pets since Dr. Dattner's arrival over twenty years back. Humanity, compassion, intellect, sincerity are not just words, but are in plain evidence on every visit. There is a feeling of comfort when you know your pet is receiving this level of care. You recognize the commitment to the pet and the pet family runs deep within every member of the staff. They are on your side, they are at your side taking joy in your happiness, and again when the circle inevitably closes once again. They are constant, steady, and reliable friends to all that come through their doors. They earn the trust that we place in their care. I am thankful for their skill, and grateful for their friendships. ---Jeffrey Chipetine Read Less

Love Dr. Jennifer Steiger . After having my diabetic dog treated unsuccessfully at other facility for over a year and a half, we were recommended to Dr. Steiger. Within a few weeks she had our dogs sugar under control. She listened to what we were telling her and she made a few tweaks to what we were doing at home and within weeks our dog was doing much better. She's wonderful and caring . Couldn't ask for a better vet Read Less

I wish I would have found this hospital a lot earlier in the life of our Jamie.This is the first hospital in Jamie's 15 years that she actually felt comfortable in. The wonderful love and expert care of all we came in contact at the Garden City Park Animal Hospital was an eye opener. My sessions with Dr. Joseph Silverman were enlightening and extremely satisfying... You'd think Jamie was his dog. The hospital's waiting room environment makes you feel welcomed and at home. The hospital and observation rooms are very clean. The receptionists are kind and accommodating. The doctor's assistants are loving and superb. Dr. Joseph Silverman treated us as a professional doctor, a teacher, a friend and Jamie's truly concerned health care taker.Jamie's last moments at the hospital made the most difficult task in my life, bearable. Their treatment of Jamie and my family's concerns was heartwarming. I wish I could have learned of this excellent hospital sooner. Read Less

Dr. Gary Dattner has been my Veterinarian since 1991, and for the past several years, adding Dr. Joey Silverman and Dr. Jennifer Steiger to my Veterinarian Team, they are the only ones I place my complete trust. With my own family dogs, all of the dogs I rescue and re-home and even my outdoor cats, they are truly a part of my life. Their combined talent is by far the best. They work with me, and we make decisions together on the care and treatment of my pets and those dogs in my rescue organization. I highly recommend them and they are the reason I drive from Babylon to New Hyde Park. Distance has no measure for the right care for my 4-legged family members. Read Less

For over 12 years, my dogs have been under the care of the vets at Garden City Park Animal Hospital. Their practice manager is always ready to lend a hand, the technicians are well seasoned and the front desk is commanded by staff wearing smiles under great pressure! Doctors Dattner, Steiger and Silverman always have time for my dogs and for that reason, we are so grateful! They are like family and not only an excellent group of veterinarians, but compassionate human beings as well! Are there any other vets? G. M. Sette Manhasset Hills, NY Read Less

We have been using GCPAH for our dogs for a few years and cannot say enough good things about the doctors and staff.  One of our dogs had a very rare condition treated at a specialty hospital and Dr Silverman at GCPAH provided the follow up care.  Besides being extremely knowledgeable about the rare condition, they were always attentive to his care with follow up calls.  Dr Silverman is a true professional that is not only extremely knowledgable but is a genuinely kind doctor who cares.  We have recommended numerous people to their practice and everyone has been extremely happy with them.

Dr. Silverman is the best vet. I by chance had him take care of my new puppy Roosevelt who was born with a deformed paw-- a condition called Ectrodactyly when we first adopted him. Dr. Silverman is a saint he is patient, caring and truly loves animals. He also takes care of my second dog Felix.  He is always accessible and has gone above and beyond for me and my pets-- answering emails, squeezing us in on busy days, and helping in emergencies. I can't thank him enough for all of his help and love for my dogs. Read Less

I have to say Dr. Silverman is the best vet I have ever went to. Not only is he an animal lover but is so caring and kind to your pet.

I would highly recommend Dr. Silverman for any of your veterinary needs!!! Read Less

The vets here are very caring and kind.  That being said, it is pricey, so if that is of concern you might want to find another place to take your pets.I was happy with the service provided to my dogs here, and continue to take them here for their checkups, health and dental needs. Read Less

With my experience in animal care, I have finally found a team of Doctors and staff who truly care and love your pets as you do. Dr Steiger is a brilliant and talented doctor and surgeon.

We have been going to GCPAH for 13 years. The doctors & staff are friendly, caring, kind, & knowledgeable. They have cared for our 2 dogs so many times. They have saved my one little guy Bailey, who just turned 13. We are forever grateful. Thank you guys! Read Less

Searched for a long time for a vet that "gets it"....my dog has some serious blood disorders and it would make me nervous when I would go some place and I knew more than the vets. Not here- they have gone above and beyond to help me with my special needs dog. Always willing to help me at anytimeI need. I use Dr. Silvermann but I have  met numerous vets at gcpah- and they are all amazing. Front end staff an vet techs are super nice too. Highly recommend. Read Less

I would absolutely NOT recommend Garden City Park Animal Hospital. Having visited the facility for the past few years for yearly route visits, it was fine. However, when one of our dogs developed arthritis and allergies, they were not very helpful. The lack of professionalism and COMMUNICATION was just plain unacceptable. The facility reached a level where there were too many clients and not enough vets. The "personal" interface we were receiving all these years was simply no longer there. All in all, too many incidents in a span of a few months was too much to deal with. At the end of the day, I want to be able to trust a vet who will take care of our animals the way we would; a vet who had their best interest at heart and not out for their own personal financial gain.

The staff here is great! Dr. Penyy has taken care of my senior boxer and although his recovery time is long, she and all of the staff are always willing to answer question, be forth coming with suggestions and be honest to say when something is beyond them. My boxer has gi tract issue and they truely have been ultra supportive.  I came here on a family recommendation, and I am very happy with Dr. Penyy. Read Less

GCPAH is one of the best places to bring your pet. They building itself is very clean, inside and out. The staff keeps the lobby extremely clean. Every time a dog passes through the lobby, one of the staff members cleans the floor. The exam rooms are near immaculate. I've seen them sterilize the exam tables every time a new pet is brought in. Outside the lot is usually immaculate; Unlike some other places where the lots have feces, GCPAH keeps it clean! In the past 3 months I've been coming (which has been quite a lot because I have a new puppy), I've never ever seen any kind of pet waste on the lot.I have a 5month old Lhasa Apso, and she absolutely loves the place and the staff. The receptionists, vet assistants and vets are all extremely friendly and are clearly pet lovers. They are more than willing to answer any (and all) questions that you have. They also love to shower your pets with love and treats! Read Less
