Babylon Animal Hospital

This vet insisted on costly knee surgery for my dog the day after his injury.  He was very adamant that we scheduled surgery that day.  We took him to another doctor for a second opinion who advised that we wait 3-4 weeks and my dog made a 100% recovery.  I would strongly caution anyone against using this vet.

Well this is probably the most disappointing experience I've ever had. My father came across an injured kitten on the side of the road , she has got clipped by a car, which he called in to them to have picked up and cared for. My father had told these people we were going to come and pick the cat up because we definitely wanted him. They told us to call in a few days and that wouldn't be a problem.. we did, they said the kitten was doing much better.. ok great... they told us to come back in one week. My father did so . They said they couldn't give her up yet... I thought it was weird but whatever. Anyway , we kept calling routinely , every time there was a new story on why the cat wasn't ready and giving us all these things she "might" have as per what they told us. About 1 month later and still going through the whole run around, we called all day trying to figure out why they were jerking us around trying to hold us off telling us lies about why she wasn't ready yet . WELL , turns out the kitten was fine but the real reason they wouldn't let us have the cat that WE TOOK IN AND STATED WE WOULD GET BACK , was all because an employee had a daughter who wanted it .... idk about anyone else but if you bring in a helpless cat who you saved and then trusted the facility to reach out and let you know when it was safe and we could come get her and they lie and give you the run around for a selfish reason , I would not recommend this place at all, they are not right for what they did just because an employee took it upon themself to take it . I have told everyone this story and they were genuinely appalled at how they acted. I will make sure if I ever hear someone mention the name of this place I'll gladly talk them out of going . NO STARS . Read Less

Babylon animal hospital. Took care of my companion and best friend But most of all family member for 12 years. Doctor Liguori knows his stuff. The staff is absolutely fantastic. And I wouldn't go any where else. Thank you Babylon Animal hostitial for eveything. Read Less

They actually cared about my dog and me. Best Hospital and Drs. Thanks again!!!!!! Read Less

Took my elderly cat there after we noticed she was struggling to breathe. I called as soon as they opened and they shoved us in their schedule literally a half hour after their doors would open (called at 8 was in the exam room by 8:30) with no trouble, the receptionist was obviously caring and understanding that I was very, very worried over the phone. The techs were very gentle with her and very sweet. The vet we saw was very kind and just as gentle and helpful. She immediately took action and took care of my cat when she saw she was in more distress than we thought. After close to an hour of observation and questions, the vet determined my cat would need a series of tests and even then it wasn't a guarantee that they could help her and suggested we put her down. While I was devastated I was very appreciative that she didn't try to push for tests and treatments to squeeze money from us. Once we made the decision, the vet answered all of our questions with no sense of rudeness or belittling in her tone. She made my cat comfortable and let us be there during the whole ordeal and even offered us to stay in the room alone with the cat. They placed her in a cardboard box for us to take home for burial. And after all was done it was only $200 which was more than reasonable. My only issue was we were there for a while, from 8:30 to nearly 12:00 but considering the state my cat was in, the services they provided and the fact we were emergency walk-ins on what seemed like an incredibly busy day, I really cannot complain or expect more. Wonderful place and will definitely be bringing my two new kittens here for their care. Read Less

Never ever everever take your parrots bird of any kind to this awful place!!!! They clipped her wings wrong missed a nail to be clipped and also put her carrier in backwards??? I wasn't aloud to go in with her but heard her screaming for a while (which happens for a min when I'm aloud to go in to DR MONACO I'VE USED HM FOR 30 YEARS BUT THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN WHEN I NEEDED NOT THEIR FAULT.  IN PLAINVIEW)so I don't know what they did to her) please don't bring your birds there. Lesson learned the hard way..my baby suffered and now her wings are totally MESSED UP!!!!!ONLY DR MONACO NO MATTER THE EMERGENCY.....!!! PLEASSSEEE DON'T BRING YOUR BIRD THERE Read Less

The year before last, they squeezed in my mother's dog for an emergency appointment on Christmas Eve, and this week they let me bring my dog in on New Year's Eve with only a couple of hours' notice.  The vet then diagnosed a chronic eye condition that my dog's regular vet had missed, despite my asking about her eye issues on more than one occasion.  She has been on the prescribed medication for a few days and is doing very well.  We will be back, and I look forward to trying their grooming services as well.

I am very grateful for this place and all they have done for my pets.  Everything was handled with care and everything was explained with compassion.   Staff is very friendly and very helpful.   It's usually busy but never seems to be overwhelming because the staff handles it so well.  I would recommend (and have recommended) this hospital to everyone and anyone looking for help with their pets.  I have also boarded my pets for periods of time when I had to go away and have never had a complaint about that either.  Wonderful hospital.  Wonderful staff.  You would be wise to go here.

Awful. Brought my puppy in just for a shot (this isn't my regular vet I just needed a puppy shot for my dog when my usual vet was away.) The vet gave my dog a half assed exam and th.n told me she was unable to give her the shot because she felt she wasn't ready for it yet (meanwhile her last puppy shot was 2.5 weeks ago.) I got my dog from a very reputable breeder who breeding for 50 years. This vet rolled her eyes at everything thus far that we have been doing with my dog as per the breeder. The vet even told me to give my bull terrier puppy Cheerios as treats! Doesn't she know that bully breeds are not supposed to have grains because of their sensitive skin? There's more-I was charged $66 for absolutely nothing! The vet tech took her temperature, clipped her nails, and weighed her. That's it! My only star is for the vet tech who was very nice. My regular vet doesn't charge even close to that, shots included! The vet could have told me before the exam when she looked at my dogs paperwork that she wouldn't be getting a shot instead of charging me for absolutely nothing. Take your animals elsewhere the vet here is ridiculous. Read Less

Our poor Annie was between the ages of 14 to 16 years old. Her quality of life had diminished. Unfortunately we brought her here to be put down the vet made this worse by offering ways to back out. They also Prayed for her. This is not an easy thing to do to a family member. After they sedated Annie the Vet came back in and said it is not too late to back out. They offered lots of meds to mask my dogs pain and did not think about the dog, Just ways to get money out of me playing on me being so upset. Will never go back and will not recommend. Read Less

This has to be the worst most incompetent bunch of so called vetenarians I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Basically they misdiagnosed both of my cats and preformed unnecessary surgery on one. Well unfortunately they both died one while in there care and the other three weeks after her surgery. If you love your animals do not  go to this place run quickly  I really mean this. The only thing this place has is a nice staff they are the only ones who seem to care. I think I have to put one star that is the only way I can post this. Read Less

I've been going to this amazing place for 16 years now. The staff is amazing! Dr L is an outstanding surgeon and he loves the animals like his own. Very affordable and honest vet. Appointments are easy to make and always available when needed. I since moved out east yet I rather drive the 45 minutes to Babylon animal hospital then trust my animals with any other vet. They truly are the best!! Keep up the amazing job!! Read Less

I highly recommend this animal hospital. I especially appreciate Dr. Parsley, she is highly knowledgeable, qualified, patient and kind. But moreover she does not suggest expensive unnecessary treatments. Read Less

Cancer is cancer. Dr Biedermann helped Shayna meet her end with dignity and grace and gave her the painless ending for not just Shayna but for all of us in the family. I was the first face Shayna saw when we got her 15 yrs ago. I made sure that my face was the last face Shayna was going to see at her end. We are still grieving her loss, but the Babylon animal Hospital was so helpful when we planned Shayna's end. It's important that you and the animal Hospital are on the same page and can communicate together and agree and approve your ideas. Thank you so much for going through this unbearable pain with us. Read Less

The doctor was very helpful. I called on a Sunday when every other place around was closed and they fit me right in when my dog seemed to be in a lot of pain. I felt so comfortable with the staff, they were all so friendly and really cared about my dog. He is now feeling so much better thanks to the great staff and doctors. I will continue to use them in the future. Read Less

Nothing spectacular. Brought my cat there because Little Shelter offered first visit free with a vet there. Got blood work done for a small concern, and was told I'd get a call the next day, the latest 2 days later. I waited almost a full week and called them. They couldnt find our file at first, was on hold for 21 minutes (i wish i could post a screen shot with this post). Every time they picked up the phone, they greeted me all over again and asked my name. DIANE was VERY rude while handling my call, putting me on hold without telling me, cutting me off when I'd speak. It was terrible. Finally got the vet on the phone who told me everything was fine. After 21 minutes of stressing out thinking something was wrong with my new kitten. Told me white blood cell count was high, but thats no concern to her. I think I'll get a 2nd opinion... I got my free visit. I'll never go there again. Now I know why they are always offering free visits! Oh also, clean your office...disgustingly filthy!Read Less

Dr. Frank Liguoris saw my cat Oliver here at Babylon Animal Hospital on 10/21/16 was hiding under the bed.

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE Read Less

I called to refill a prescription for my Dog and was told np come in they close at 8pm. I got there around 7:15 and they told me no they close at 7pm. I asked if I can just get his meds they told me no. I explained that I worked all of the following day and they told me to come when I can. I feel like they dont care anymore. I will have to look into getting another vet. and you should to. Read Less

Nothing but good things to say about this hospital and their staff. They took my dog in when she wasn't even a patient, cared for her and helped us make the difficult decision of putting her to rest. They were kind, helpful and compassionate. Thank you for helping us today!! Read Less

I called Today at 158 pm to see if I could bring my dog in later in the day. the girl on the phone asked why I was bringing my dog in . I replied , last year you guys took xrays and found my dog has hip displacement. he has been fine since last year. but yesterday he seems to be in a lot of pain it seems to be his lower back possibly his hips might be getting worse (he's only 3) i was told to come in at 5pm.. I arrived. I explained why I was there again. and said I'm sure we are going to need to have x rays again maybe to compare to last year's .. I was broght into the room, the vet looked at my dog. I said we definitely need another x ray. she said "oh we can't x ray for another 5 day the machine is broke" I said WHAT why didn't anyone tell me this before we made it this far ? now I have to bring him somewhere else . he's in pain!! the vet said well I can take a look at his old x ray . she walked out to get his x ray. she came back and said they where deleted when there server went down .. I said so now I have no answers . now I'm going to have to go to a emergency hospital and pay a fortune! I walked back out to the counter to see what I was being charged if anything . I was charged $88 and had no answers .. I asked for someone to reduce my bill . the lady said the machine broke before I came in and my appointment was made yesterday.. someone misinformed her.. and the vet said the machine went down in the am. .. I'm a grown man. who works hard for his money. they had multiple opportunities to tell me they couldn't perform the service I required ,so I could get my dog the treatment he needed . instead the just wanted the quick buck . I will never be back... mind you my entire family. 12 of us a bring our pets there... NOT ANYMORE!!!!Read Less

After several years of bringing my pets to Babylon Animal Hospital, I recently decided to stop. The truth is, they do seem less expensive than most vets and for routine visits they are satisfactory. It's when things get serious that they loss credibility. Months ago, my dog died after one of the vets failed to detect a growth, even after this vet saw him numerous times before and after we insisted that something was wrong. This vet finally detected the growth two days before our dog died. This past month we got a new puppy. After some serious trepidation about going back we brought him in for a check up and was told by the vet that he had kennel cough (which we knew) and she gave him an antibiotic. She seemed sure he would be fine. After a week he wasn't getting better, in fact he seemed worse. I called to get the vet's advice. The vet called me back 7 hours later. The next day the puppy was wheezing and was very lethargic. I called again first thing in the morning and expressed my serious concerns about the puppy. The front office staff was rather cold and told me they couldn't get him in that day because they were too booked, but they could get him the next day at 5pm. At that point I made the choice to bring him to another vet hospital. When I called, their staff said "well, we are booked, but bring him in anyway, we'll make it work" which is really what I expected to hear from BAH, a vet clinic that I have patronized for years. This new vet informed me that the puppy was seriously ill with pneumonia and that the antibiotic given at BAH was inappropriate and not potent enough for this strain of kennel cough. The new vet insisted that I bring him to the emergency animal hospital, which I did. The puppy was treated for pneumonia and spent a week in doggie ICU. He's doing fine now. Babylon Animal Hospital used to be better. They seemed more personable and attentive to the pets. The front office staff used to be friendly and warm and seemed to genuinely love the animals, but in the last couple of years the quality has decreased. The vets and the front office staff often seem overwhelmed and there is vet "mill" feel about it now. Most importantly, I do not feel that these vets spend adequate time with the animals and seem very quick to make or decline a diagnosis. They don't even remember my pets when they return. Truthfully, I'm not sure if they are much cheaper than other vets, and even if they are, I'd rather pay more for better quality. Read Less

Loved this place until Dr. Lieberman misdiagnosed my dog with dry skin instead of fleas. Months later my home is infested. Told her my dog was going nuts itching, licking. Gave her steroids instead of flea treatment. Read Less

Dr. Liguori has been a caring and qualified vet for many years. In fact, he mentored my daughter and, without his guidance, she would not have attended Cornell University and become the successful veterinarian she is today. Sometimes a pet owner with a very sick pet will put negative notes in a review due to the stress of the time. Usually a negative review will not tell the whole story. Dr. Liguori is a good vet - reasonable in price - a very dedicated veterinarian. Read Less

Nice people and good doctors. Got my dog from a local shelter and they said this hospital was really good with shelter dogs. They were right. Got lots of good advice and my new addition to the family is happy and healthy. Read Less

Dr. Ligouri treated my beloved canine for ten years and was marvelous the entire time and especially when I had to lay her to rest.  I have since adopted two wild cats and am very pleased with his care and expertise.  Witnessed his office in several emergency situations and admire their professional work ethic and dedication to the well being of animals in the rescue community.

I have been taking my dog to Babylon Animal Hospital for many years just for check ups and shots and have always been happy with the service and the prices! Then my cat got sick. I called them and told them he was just going in and out of the litter box all day. THEY SAVED MY CATS LIFE! They said to bring him in right away, that he could be having a problem urinating and needed to be seen immediately! Thank goodness these people know their stuff!! They saved my cats life!! I tell all my friends to go there!! Read Less

I am new to the area and needed a vet for my 8 year old lab mix, Sweetie. I am so happy with Babylon Animal Hospital.

You people should be ashamed of your self. I'm glad I don't bring my animals there. What happened to nugget is sad and you showed no sympathy for the dog family. How dare you. This hospital should be shut down. You don't deserve to have a liscense to practice medicine on animals. Read Less

I've only had good experiences with this business, especially while seeing a looking at their great reviews online. My Brother in NY, who live's in the Bronx was very pleased with his experience with this vet and said that the compassion they showed when their dog needed to be put down was exceptional and they couldn't imagine have gone through that with any business except for Babylon. It's truly a blessing to have them in Lindenhurst, it's a blessing to have them in New York State and it's a blessing to have such a caring animal clinic. Thanks guys from the bottom of our hearts and I wish your business all the success from your outstanding customer service. Read Less

ZERO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION!!! Here is all you need to know, my cat a stray who adopted us, was seen by Dr.Ligouri and all the other drs at this facility.  Since we knew nothing of this adorable stray who refused to leave out house, we had HER checked out.  We were told she was a spayed female.  Fast forward about 10 years, my poor kitty is really sick, vets closed, run HER over to the 24 emergency care.  First thing we find out....Our FEMALE is really a neutered MALE!  This cat has been treated for two serious animal bites from her time spent outdoors and had numerous check ups...NO ONE noticed that the cat they told us was female was actually male!   STAY AWAY!

If I could give you 0 stars, I would. My experience was not a recent one but it left me so bitter, I have to tell my story. I took my dog who suffered from a malabsorption problem. I became suspicious after he offered treatments which didn't make sense. One of the treatments  was an external spray to make my dogs coat shinier, really? I ran from there as fast as I could. On another occasion, I brought in a seagull in distress. I came across it at the nearby Boston Market. I only went to The Babylon Animal Hospital because it was literally across the street. The place was full, and the receptionist coldly charged me over $100. It wildlife!!!!! Do you people have any decency? I once again ran out of that greedy  s**t h**e and the bird was euthanized by the animal hospital in Amityville. Oh, by the way, free of charge. The seagull wasn't a pet, it was wildlife!!!!!!So, with that said, pet owners, please educate yourselves before you become victims at your pets expense. Now that I told my story, I can move on.

My 15 y/o dog had a persistent cough and I took her to this vet. We were first time clients and they did a nice job caring for my dog. The fees are a little steep but that's true of all health care. For a vet who's open on weekends this is a good place to take your pet. Read Less

Want to give no stars, killed my friends dog. then read other reviews how the misdiagnosed other animals, don't know how they are still in business. Guess Dr. Ligouri who owns the place is more concerned with running ice palace which the hotel and bar in fire island that he owns. Cross eyed Dr. Biederman is no help either. hopefully the lawsuits filed against them will teach him and his unfriendly staff a lesson. Read Less

I brought my cat here a couple of years ago when she was peeing on everything and I had noticed a couple of sores on her privates. The waiting room was extremely dirty. I knew I should have left then, but at the time I was low on cash and they had an add in South Bay for a free first visit. We were seen by an older female doctor, I can not recall her name. She was extremely concerned that I could not recall the brand of my cats food. I had informed her that I had recently switched brands, but assured her it was was a very high quality food (it was Blue Buffalo, but I couldn't remember for the life of me that day.) It was not enough for her. She insisted that I needed to find out the brand of food, that it was detrimental to my cats diagnosis, meanwhile she had been in the room for 15 minutes without even so much as glancing in my cats direction. When she finally got around to checking out my cat, the incompetent assistant had no idea how to restrain a cat. Luckily, I am a Groomer that knows what I'm doing and was able tore do it myself, not to mention my cat is very well behaved and he should have had no issues with holding her. She lifted her tail, and after about 30 seconds says "your cat has and bout urinary tract infection." Oh really? How did you determine that without even putting on gloves? She told me the cat would need an oral medication and a powder and recommended I meet their groomer. I told her that would not be necessary as I myself am a groomer. I guess she was ignoring me because she brought up up the groomer at least for more times. She then said they were going to apply the powder and meet me up front. I sat in the waiting room for another 45 minutes waiting for then to return with my cat and her perscriptions. When they finally came back they also handed me a bill for $250! Reading the bill, I found there was an $80 Grooming charge after I had adamantly stated numerous time thats I was a Groomer and would not require her services, they brought my cat in the back and did whatever they wanted with her, and had the audacity to charge me for it. I argued with the girls at the front desk to no avail. I bit the bullet and paid them just so I could get the hell out of there. I called to complain but was hung up on. When they sent me something in the mail asking for a review I sent back a two page letter of complaint, which I'm sure was promptly thrown in the trash. Needless to say I brought my cat somewhere else for proper treatment (Amittville Animal Hospital) and I will never return to that shit box of a place. The doctors and staff should be ashamed of themselves.Read Less

Fairly certain this animal hospital is to blame for the death of my cat, Tabitha. They diagnosed her with kidney disease and put her on medicine, and then her kidneys failed and another vet had to put her to sleep.I only wish that Yelp or other online reviews existed before I took any of my animals there. Had I know that they had such a terrible reputation, I never would have went in the first place.How they remain open is unknown to me. Read Less

Would not honor the online coupon for new customers, despite the fact I mentioned it when making the appointment.  My dog went in feeling fine, was sick a day later. The smell of this place was absolutely terrible. This was the first check-up of a rescue, and the bill was over $200 and did not include a full blood-panel, which to my disbelief, was not done.  I would not recommend this place, and will be looking for another vet in the area.

Very expensive and unorganized. Had to wait 25 minutes to pay because they couldn't find my paperwork. The vet was good but it cost me $175 for two shots and nails clipped on my cat. I'm not going back. Read Less

Had our Toy Fox Terrier euthanized today, she was suffering from Cushings Syndrome. What at HORRIBLE ordeal! It took forever for the sedation to make her sleepy and never actually did, then they went in with something stronger along with the acutal euthanization medication.
