This place been here for years. I've too been coming here for a long time. Nothing but courteous service. The whole entire staff.  Pricing is very affordable location is perfect -  just a few steps from the train and tons of shopping down the street. They don't beat around the bush. The doctor knows what he's doing and really cares for your pets.  This is my second cat. They've taken care of everything for the whole lifespan (spaying/neutering to vaccines to death). My kitty was well taken care of her whole life. My second kitty is getting just as much attention. Read Less

Dr. Tadros has been my vet for over 10 years now. The reasons why I've been bringing my pets to him all these years are many. But what matters to me most is his true passion for his profession and love for the animals. I've seen many clinics open up in the area, but believe me,  no one has the human touch, the compassion Dr. Tadros has . Everyone else is just running a business. The most important thing to them is to make money. I love my pets, they're my trusted companions. They deserve the best! My boy loves him too! Thank you Dr. Read Less

I actually stumbled upon this place accidentally, but I am so glad that I did! Yesterday my 5 pound dog somehow managed to find and eat an entire pack of rat poison. I frantically typed in animal hospital on my Uber and this place came up as being close to my apartment so that is where we went. I was extremely frantic and barged into the place like a crazy person. I have never been there before but I had called the receptionist to inform her that we were on our way over. The doctor, who honestly looked a little afraid of me and my craziness lol,  tried his best to immediately calm me down and get to work on my dog as quickly as possible. In the end, he ended up giving her some medication to make her throw up the poison, gave her a shot to counteract the poison, give her another shot to replace the nutrients she had lost and then some charcoal to absorb what was left. The entire visit ended up costing me $800, but it was worth it. He did not insist that she stayed there for observation or put an IV in her to try and drain me of more money which I really appreciated, because at that point they honestly could have gotten more money out of me.All in all, this doctor, which I was too frantic to even catch his name, but I wish I had, and his two technicians, were amazing and saved my dogs life.

I found worms in my cat's litter box, and not knowing if it was serious or not panicked and called the nearest vets office. The front desk staff were very polite and got me in right away. Once I met with the vet however things took a turn. He told me that because my cat was so old (5 years) these worms could be very dangerous, and used other scare tactics to rile me up. He also told me that because I was "young and pretty" he was going to do a test for t gondi. I told him that wasn't necessary but they still did the test, along with several other tests I was not told about but charged for anyways. Not knowing how much of a nightmare this would eventually be, I also asked for my cat to be microchipped. According to the company's site the average price for a microchip is $45 and it is so small that anesthetic is not needed. They charged me $95 plus $35 for a "topical anesthetic". After I left I realized they had not given me the registration number for the microchip. I went in to get the info but they had lost it and said I would have to bring the cat back in. These people prey on uniformed, scared pet parents so that they can order unnecessary and extremely over priced services. I included a picture of my bill, and a few minutes on Google shows how their prices are twice and sometimes 10 times higher that the average. In the end all I needed was a dewormer I could have ordered online for $10. If you decide to take your pet here do your research first and don't let them scare you into giving them all your money.

· May 6, 2018I received my cat, Princess, in 2006. Ever since then, she has been extremely friendly and a joy to have. Then recently, she started peeing outside the litter box, meowing loudly at night, and overall frustrating to deal with. I went to Dr. Tadros for help and he conducted some tests, made a professional diagnosis, and preformed the appropriate surgery. He removed the cancer riddled uterus from my cat and gave me very good advice on how to handle my cat after surgery. Now my cat is doing great and I would like to thank Dr. Tadros for the exceptional work he is doing. Thank you. Read Less

Dr. Tadros and the staff at Steinway Animal Hospital are deeply caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, thorough and attentive. I have been bringing my cats to them for many years. While they always give us the highest level of care and services, they never push me to needless treatments or services. Their prices are very reasonable, considering the very high level of care. We recently had to put an old cat to sleep, and Dr Tadros was as compassionate and caring to me as if it was a human relative. Afterwards I received a handwritten condolence card from Karen, who had been at the front desk that day. If you love your pets, you must bring them to Steinway Animal Hosp. Read Less

Although this clinic has done well in serving clients, it is completely unprofessional how the establishment is run and how they treat their staff. I have applied and was granted training based on my experience in the veterinary field. I must say though the manager and technicians were all kind, professional, and helpful throughout my training. However Dr. Tadros and his son Michael, were a different story. I had contacted Michael Tadros when I got home on Wednesday, he had given me his number my first day of training in case i had a question regarding the job and it was after clinic hours. I asked him professionally if they wouldn’t mind returning the copy of my personal information (id & ss) because i realized it wasn’t returned to me prior to my departure. There was no issue on my end and I asked if it was properly destroyed, that i be sent a documented confirmation. Therefore, the clinic and i would both be secured. He reacted in a harassing manner and made false accusations, of which i did not entertain. I had no choice but to make copies of our conversation and make a Federal complaint to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) for retaliation and the unfair treatment by Dr. Tadros during our last meeting. Before i left, i spoke to Dr. Tadros to clear up the questions i had about the employment process. He made it clear to me that he was not pleased that i was asking the appropriate questions regarding the next step in my process when it came to Federal forms, scheduling (along with being a student), and the ability to take vacation while employed since a trip had been paid for this coming June prior to my application at his clinic. And for these reasons alone i was dismissed. I also sent Dr. Tadros a letter explaining my request and the obscene harassment by his son. ALL OVER ASKING SIMPLE QUESTIONS THEY COULD NOT HANDLE. Never have I ever dealt with an experience like that, and I understand now why they were hiring cuz they lost a couple of people. Unbelievable & Wildly Inappropriate! Please I STRONGLY do NOT RECOMMEND APPLYING HERE if you are interested in a position in the veterinary field. There are more structured facilities that will leave you with less of a headache.

I have no idea why anyone would give this place a bad review... I've been to multiple vets and with all of them they only cared about the money not the animal in need of medical attention. But that's all different at Steinway animal hospital. Let's start with the staff Hector and Marilyn are absolutely phenomenal! As a worried cat mom I had 6 millions of questions and they were always able to answer them and ensured me that everything would be okay! They were beyond kind and just made me feel safe bringing my cat to them. They were super gentle when it came to handling my cat mittens and you can tell the amount of love they have for animals. Dr. Tadros is honestly the greatest vet. He speaks to your pet like it's his own and really makes sure that they are comfortable while checking them. What I like the most is he explains everything he's doing before he touches your pet. He also makes sure that if you notice any changes when you go home, you will be one of the first patients the following day to ensure your pet is well.  The prices at this hospital are also very fair it won't cost you an arm and a leg like most offices! At the end of your visit I also appreciate how they break down the funds to show you where everything is coming from. Unlike other offices who just hand you medicine and that's it hector and Marilyn literally explained everything before leaving such as how to care for my pet and how much medicine and how many times a day. They are all such genuine pet lovers and you can tell how humble they are. If you're looking for the best animal hospital you've found it. After coming here I will never look for another vet to care for my pets and you shouldn't either! Thank you again for caring for mittens I'm forever grateful ! Read Less

After 10 years of Living in NYC I finally found a go to  vet. I actually found Dr Tadros and Steinway Animal Hospital by mistake. I had a very sick 10 year old cat who was throwing up and needed to be seen right away. I called Steinway Animal Hospital and Dr. Tadros fit him in right away. The mistake happened because I 'thought" I had called another vet on Steinway that I sometimes will go to (but when I do go I'm not usually happy with)  and when I brought in my sick cat into the wrong office, this particular vet (not Steinway Animal Hospital) was very rude and told me I had no appointment and would have to wait at least an hour and they'd "try" to work me in. I immediately left and took my poor guy to the right place down a few blocks to Dr. Tadros and I was happy I did. This was my first time at Steinway Animal hospital and the staff was friendly and Dr. Tadros was caring and knowledgeable. Between the coarse of a month I have been to Dr Tadros multiple times for both of my cats. The staff is really great. Hector, Michael, Anna and one other girl who I dealt with are very sweet. They stayed open late for me one evening when I was running late, called me with updates when one cat had to get a procedure done, and they always know me and ask how both kitties are when I call. The prices are fairly reasonable for a NY vet as well. Although like any vet, ASK what they charges are ahead of time so you aren't in shock when you get the bill. It is ultimately up to you what you want done vs what is suggested and knowing ahead of time as well as good communication is key. Read Less

Horrible experience. I took my 22 year old cat to this vet because he was acting a little strange, and I wanted to make sure that he was not in any pain, or if he had an infection that needed to be treated, and that is exactly what I told this office. I did not want to cause my animal any pain whatsoever. The receptionist and vet tech were so nice, the vet tech was obviously very caring. But when the doctor came in, it was a different story. He was cold and insensitive. He gave my poor frail elderly cat an exam, and said that he has a heart murmur, and one of his kidneys "feels a little different". He was so vague about that, it had me a little suspicious. Then he proceeded to tell me that my can needs 350$ worth of blood work and an echocardiogram. The echocardiogram actually made me laugh a little, because its so ridiculous to even put my cat through that. Then he explained that my cat may be diabetic, in kidney failure, or even have thyroid problems, and all of these things needed to be explored. They said that they would take blood out of his back leg. His back legs are so weak, I told them I would never agree to cause him anymore pain, especially in that area that already causes him discomfort. I asked him if there was anything I could do or give him at home that would make him feel better, such as a senior diet or vitamins. He would not even recommend anything without the blood work. This guy is gross, he clearly does not care about the animals, and only wants money. No wonder his office was empty when I went there. I had an in home vet service come the next day to see my cat, and they were like a breath of fresh air. They listened to me and my concerns, they were so gentle with my cat, and gave me so many recommendations to use at home WITHOUT PUTTING HIM THROUGH ANY PAINFUL PROCEDURES. They truly cared, complete opposite from the Steinway Animal Hospital. If you love your animal, as I do, DO NOT TAKE THEM THERE!! Read Less

If you care for your pet and your bank account, do not take your animal here. I had to board my cat for the night and he needed an update on his vaccines. My regular vet was booked up for the day, so I had to find another vet; thus, I took him to Steinway Animal Hospital. The receptionists/vet assistants were very friendly, but once the vet himself walked in, he claimed a long list of things were wrong with my cat, including an ear infection and dental problems. He told me that my cat needed an $800 dental cleaning every 6 months to a year. He tried to tell me he needed Frontline and that he would apply it for me (even though he's an indoor cat, has no history of fleas, and we have no other animals). After the appointment, I immediately booked an appointment with my regular vet for a second opinion. First off, my vet said it didn't look like he had an ear infection at all. Secondly, the dental cleaning would only cost $270 with her. She said he wouldn't need a cleaning but maybe every few years. She said there was no need for Frontline given his history, etc. And she said the blood work for my cat would only be $80-$150 depending on the scope of it, unlike the $300 they quoted me at Steinway Animal Hospital.This vet is an alarmist, and I am certain he is committing fraud left and right to make more money. It makes me extremely sad for the animals and their owners who go here. Read Less

My boyfriend and I brought in our frenchie two times for a split nail. Since he was bleeding, this place was the closest. They charged us $300 to basically just bandage him up. They gave him unnecessary antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory shots both times we went as well. They told us we would have to keep him in a cone for 6 months while the nail grew out. I felt so bad for my dog so I took him to another vet. This vet only charged $70 and actually fixed the problem just by clipping his nail all the way down. Long story short- they're a rip off and can barely understand the guy because of his accent. Take your pets elsewhere Read Less

I took my cat in on a Sunday with symptoms consistent with a UTI.  I expected a bill of around $150-200, between the weekend exam rate (which is understandably higher than weekday) and antibiotics.  Without any sort of coherent explanation, talking around in circles, incoherently talking about crystals and blockages and stones (without actually explaining anything), and then jumping immediately to worst case scenario (despite the lack of symptoms for worst case scenario), he took x-rays and did blood work.  He also injected an antibiotic (understandable), and then gave me a bottle of antibiotic to give twice a day for 10 days.  I was then handed a bill of $540.  Once I had the bill in my hand, it took another 30 minutes for the receptionist to ring me up.  He was ridiculously slow, took another customer before me who had just walked in, and my cat and I had already been at the vet for an hour.  Had there been any communication from the doctor about what he was doing and why: "I would really like to take an x-ray to rule out x, y, and z, but it does cost $250, and the blood work is going to cost 200, but will tell us this, and the penicillin injection is necessary to clear up the infection" I wouldn't have even questioned it.  Then he says "You have to completely change his diet to this prescription food that you can only order by the case through my office."  I have another cat, and so if I change one cat's food, I have to change both.  He didn't seem to understand or address any of the concerns I had about giving prescription food to my other cat who has no urinary tract problems.  This is also the second time he has absolutely insisted that I change my cats' food to this special kind that I can only order through him, which already had me questioning his motives.7 days later, I ran out of the antibiotic that had been prescribed for 10 days, so I call the office.  The receptionist says "Right, well, the antibiotic expires in 7 days, so we can't give you more than that at a time, so if you need another 3 days, you'll have to pay for another bottle."  Again, this had never been communicated to me.  I was handed a bottle and told "give this to him twice a day for 10 days," so why should I have to pay another $35?  He seems to be in this business to scrape every last penny out of you as possible.  If you are going to go to this guy, I recommend asking a ton of questions, and not allowing him to do anything unless he gives you a reasonable answer.I will not be returning to this vet.

This place just wants your money.  I went here because my cat wasn't feeling well. She gets UTIs when stressed. Upfront the doctor seemed very nice and concerned about the cat and its condition. They did extras tests on her that they didnt tell me that i would be charged for. then said that she needed all of these drugs to cure her condition. and that she would have to be on a special diet all of her life. So i paid for all of these extras drugs that she hatted. when the antibiotics would have been just fine. after the months worth of drugs were taken and i changed her diet, she got another UTI. I tried to order more antibiotics through 1800pedmeds and the vet wouldnt authorize it saying that i need to bring her back in first. that it could be something else and that she just cant retake the same antibiotics. antibiotics are antibiotics. its the same freaking thing that was happening before..

Normally I wouldn't take the time to write a review regarding a poor experience, but this particular establishment seemed to warrant just a little bit more of my anger than others. First things first, my dog had chronic heart failure. His stomach was accruing excess fluid buildup and the root cause seemed to have been CHF, both sides. I had already taken my dog to the emergency animal hospital in Elmhurst, and made my trip over to Steinway Animal Hospital the day after. He was able to call a "heart specialist" to run an echocardiogram on the heart and livers and determined it to be the cause of the problem. At this point, I was simply a scared pet owner who wanted their pet to get better. Dr. Tadros butchered me on the examination costs, excess (and he himself admitted as useless) additional tests like blood panels, etc, medications, and dietary supplements. I was never informed nor consulted regarding what it was my pet needed, but simply charged and ordered to pay. Since my dog's diagnosis of chronic heart failure is a permanent condition, he would require medication for the rest of his life. A week later I sought to get prescriptions for the pet from an alternative pet drug store in NYC. Dr. Tadros was extremely resistant to the idea. I justifiably needed to fill 3 weeks worth of medication before his reexamination, and when I refused to purchase them from him, he made things difficult. There's something to be said about a man who does business in such a manner.I found Dr. Tadros to be a reasonably amiable guy when I had brought my dogs in for his "puppy package." I had no problems and thought he'd be a fine vet. It was only after an emergency, that I found myself hating his professionalism. I would stay away from him, since there are plenty of other viable vets in the neighborhood. Read Less

My dog had a medical emergency so we rushed him the Steinway Animal Hospital as it was super convenient and close to home.The receptionist was sweet, kind with my dog, which I really appreciated, but the Dr., on the other hand, (wish I could remember his name) barely checked my dog, automatically assumed the worst and told me he needed to go the the hospital (which he ended up healing just fine with some antibiotics, ointment and at home TLC). He also heavily criticized me for not having my dog up to date on shots, when I had taken him in from a home where he was left alone for several days at a time. It was just a very unsafe environment for myself and for my dog. My bill was rather large for having done very little for my dog, he made me feel terrible (literally laughed in my face) and didn't run a thorough check. The Dr. pretty much stood there shaking his head & not saying much. How this place has won so many awards is beyond meI only went back to this place for a check up as he was the Dr. that had originally seen him.I've resorted to the Human Society as well as the Animal Hospital on 62nd st and received stellar care. They really took the time to answer/address all of our questions/concerns, ran several tests, gave us options, had very positive attitudes and my dog was very comfortable with them which made me realize how terrible Steinway Animal Hopsital is.I've learned my lesson & will not be returning to this place.

I had been taking my dog to the Astoria Animal Hospital for all veterinary needs as I am a resident of Astoria and this place was very convenient. They offered a puppy package that saved me a load of money on my dog's vaccinations and they did a great job neutering him. I, however, am very unsatisfied with their services. About a year ago my dog got a pretty severe ear infection. He had been scratching at it regularly and the drops I picked up were extremely uncomfortable for him. I took him to see the vet here and all he said was that he had some hairs growing inside of his ears and the problem could be fixed by simply taking him to the groomer and asking them to remove the hairs. I followed these instructions and upon picking him up from the groomer she scolded me for not taking care of this issue, I told her what the vet said and she said he certainly had no idea what he was talking about and that the infection needed to be treated medically. Today I took my dog to be groomed at a new place and they called the vet asking for my dogs rabies vaccination certificate. The woman on the phone notified the groomer that my dog was not up to date on his vaccinations, in fact he was seven months behind on his rabies vaccine. I am absolutely furious that I was never even so much as told he'd have to receive the vaccine annually and on top of that the vets office didn't call to make sure that we were updating him even seven months later. Thankfully it's not too late and he hasn't contracted anything, but this office is highly irresponsible and isn't concerned with teaching a first time dog owner how to maintain a healthy pet.

We took my 15 year old toy fox terrier here for a second opinion because after receiving his annual rabies vaccination at another vet, he became increasingly lethargic (more so than the normal few days after the shot) Was hardly eating and was having difficulty walking. Dr. Tadros informed us that dogs over the age of 12 should not receive the yearly vaccination as it can cause more damage to their systems. Dr. Tadros  and the vet tech were extremely compassionate and informative. I would highly recommend them, as they actually care about the animals and are not just out to make money. Read Less

There aren't enough stars to give this place :)))))))) Whenever I come in, even in the most dire of circumstances, I am treated like family.  Drs. Tadros and Hanna are the best vets I've ever encountered and stay in constant contact with you day and night (and are willing to talk to you whenever you call).  They are true lovers of animals and in my opinion, their guardian angels.  They will work with you if you have financial needs but want to provide your animal with the best care possible for their condition. Most recently, my little kitty developed crystals in his bladder that prevented him from urinating and I took  him to the Elmhurst Animal Hospital as this vet was off for a holiday.  Once they opened they were very quick to arrange for all of my cat's tests to be sent over so that I could transfer him for bladder surgery, thus saving his life.  Dr. Hanna is always available when I call and willing to answer any questions I might have.  I love these guys and honestly as vets go, they just don't get any better than these two!!

I brought my 2 year old cat in for a check up appointment a few days ago (during the nice torrential downpour, which my cat LOVED experiencing), and everything went very smooth. I was concerned about a patch of fur that my cat had managed to lick completely away, and I thought that it was probably due to the stress of moving apartments recently but I wasn't sure. Dr. Tadros seemed to agree, especially since the spot on her stomach had already started healing during the several days between when I called and the appt. I was also able to get her rabies shot updated as well, which was an additional $25 on top of the check up fee of $53 (I walked after paying $78 total).Both Dr. Tadros and the support staff were gentle with my cat, allowed me to help in order to calm her down (she wasn't *too* anxious with the exception of shooting me the "I hate you, I really hate you" look during the rabies shot and when she was getting her temperature taken), and seem to actually care about the animals they see. Nothing too exciting happened and it was a fairly quick appt (I think I spent more time hailing cabs then I did in the appt), but when it comes to health, that's probably a good thing.My only complaint is that they pretty much expect you to pay everything up front (my bill was only $78, so it was certainly manageable for me this time). Vet costs, like medical costs, can be really expensive and unlike with medical insurance, most pet insurances will not cover routine check-ups and preventative care. If you did not have the pet insurance to cover the unexpected astronomical costs from, say, a broken bone or a serious illness, you could be expected to pay $1000 or more upfront. No one can really afford that these days. Read Less

I arrived home to find my cat had been throwing up for what had to be a good part of the day. I initially thought she just ate too fast or something, and that it would pass. As the night moved on, the vomiting did not. Worried, I kept waking up throughout the night to check on her. A couple times she would howl before throwing up again. Clearly this was serious. At 7am I called Steinway Animal Hospital (knowing they wouldn't be open yet, but hoping nonetheless). One of the staff members was already there, and I proceeded to inform him about the issue. He told me to just come in at 10:30am when the vet arrived and they would see my cat. I arrived around 9:45 just to be on the safe side if the place got busy. There was only one other person ahead of me, and although I did have to wait a little while, I was extremely grateful for them squeezing me in without an appointment! The waiting room is small, but as others here have said, quiet and comfortable. My cat cried the entire way to the vet, but calmed down once there. Thankfully, they had an hdtv playing Animal Planet, so I had something to watch while I waited! After we were called in, Dr. Tadros took a look at my cat using pretty awesome equipment I've never seen at a vet before (some sort of flashlight/camera contraption). Tadros and staff were very friendly to my cat, soothing her during this traumatic experience! He decided to do some bloodwork to ensure she didn't have some form of liver or pancreatic infection, as well as an x-ray to check for any metal or foreign objects she may have ingested. I knew he wasn't pulling my leg and performing unnecessary tests, since I had a cat earlier in life who passed away from a liver infection, and had similar symptoms. When Tadros returned with the x-rays, he pulled them up on a computer and displayed them for me on an hdtv, taking the time to show me in full detail what we were looking at. He was also extremely patient with me when I had tons of questions, or asked him to repeat what he had said (he has a thick accent). The bloodwork came back ridiculously fast (usually this takes a couple days!!), so my mind was quickly put to rest when he found no abnormalities! We ultimately believe she may have swallowed a feather from a cat toy I got her. I was given plenty of meds to give her, and reassurances that if anything happens, he'll get back at her immediately! He even offered to waive the cost of re-hydrating her if I couldn't do it at home (I just can't stick a needle into my cat!!). The cost was pretty expensive for everything, but not outside the realm of what you'd expect to pay for a vet visit. This experience has definitely convinced me to purchase pet insurance for my cat!! I can't afford any more accidental ingestions!! Thanks again Dr. Tadros and team! It's clear you care very much about your patients! I will definitely be back for my cat's check ups!*As an update, I took Jet back the next morning to get more IV fluids put  into her since she didn't drink any of the stuff they gave me to take home. I'm not entirely sure the place is even really open for business on Sundays, yet I was still able to bring Jet in and have them hydrate her for me. To further prove how much they care about pets, I saw this MASSIVE cat walking around the office. The assistant told me that he was abandoned my his owner (she brought him in for a check up and never came back to get him!!!). They decided to take him in and take care of him!For that, I've bumped my review from 4 to 5 stars for being a vet that truly cares about animals! Read Less

I actually stumbled upon this place accidentally, but I am so glad that I did! Yesterday my 5 pound dog somehow managed to find and eat an entire pack of rat poison. I frantically typed in animal hospital on my Uber and this place came up as being close to my apartment so that is where we went. I was extremely frantic and barged into the place like a crazy person. I have never been there before but I had called the receptionist to inform her that we were on our way over. The doctor, who honestly looked a little afraid of me and my craziness lol,  tried his best to immediately calm me down and get to work on my dog as quickly as possible. In the end, he ended up giving her some medication to make her throw up the poison, gave her a shot to counteract the poison, give her another shot to replace the nutrients she had lost and then some charcoal to absorb what was left. The entire visit ended up costing me $800, but it was worth it. He did not insist that she stayed there for observation or put an IV in her to try and drain me of more money which I really appreciated, because at that point they honestly could have gotten more money out of me.All in all, this doctor, which I was too frantic to even catch his name, but I wish I had, and his two technicians, were amazing and saved my dogs life.

I found worms in my cat's litter box, and not knowing if it was serious or not panicked and called the nearest vets office. The front desk staff were very polite and got me in right away. Once I met with the vet however things took a turn. He told me that because my cat was so old (5 years) these worms could be very dangerous, and used other scare tactics to rile me up. He also told me that because I was "young and pretty" he was going to do a test for t gondi. I told him that wasn't necessary but they still did the test, along with several other tests I was not told about but charged for anyways. Not knowing how much of a nightmare this would eventually be, I also asked for my cat to be microchipped. According to the company's site the average price for a microchip is $45 and it is so small that anesthetic is not needed. They charged me $95 plus $35 for a "topical anesthetic". After I left I realized they had not given me the registration number for the microchip. I went in to get the info but they had lost it and said I would have to bring the cat back in. These people prey on uniformed, scared pet parents so that they can order unnecessary and extremely over priced services. I included a picture of my bill, and a few minutes on Google shows how their prices are twice and sometimes 10 times higher that the average. In the end all I needed was a dewormer I could have ordered online for $10. If you decide to take your pet here do your research first and don't let them scare you into giving them all your money.

Although this clinic has done well in serving clients, it is completely unprofessional how the establishment is run and how they treat their staff. I have applied and was granted training based on my experience in the veterinary field. I must say though the manager and technicians were all kind, professional, and helpful throughout my training. However Dr. Tadros and his son Michael, were a different story. I had contacted Michael Tadros when I got home on Wednesday, he had given me his number my first day of training in case i had a question regarding the job and it was after clinic hours. I asked him professionally if they wouldn’t mind returning the copy of my personal information (id & ss) because i realized it wasn’t returned to me prior to my departure. There was no issue on my end and I asked if it was properly destroyed, that i be sent a documented confirmation. Therefore, the clinic and i would both be secured. He reacted in a harassing manner and made false accusations, of which i did not entertain. I had no choice but to make copies of our conversation and make a Federal complaint to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) for retaliation and the unfair treatment by Dr. Tadros during our last meeting. Before i left, i spoke to Dr. Tadros to clear up the questions i had about the employment process. He made it clear to me that he was not pleased that i was asking the appropriate questions regarding the next step in my process when it came to Federal forms, scheduling (along with being a student), and the ability to take vacation while employed since a trip had been paid for this coming June prior to my application at his clinic. And for these reasons alone i was dismissed. I also sent Dr. Tadros a letter explaining my request and the obscene harassment by his son. ALL OVER ASKING SIMPLE QUESTIONS THEY COULD NOT HANDLE. Never have I ever dealt with an experience like that, and I understand now why they were hiring cuz they lost a couple of people. Unbelievable & Wildly Inappropriate! Please I STRONGLY do NOT RECOMMEND APPLYING HERE if you are interested in a position in the veterinary field. There are more structured facilities that will leave you with less of a headache.

SCAMMERS! Beware! They will run every test available to charge you for it.  Took my dog in for a simple Lyme test and they charged me for x-rays, extra x-rays, sedation for the x-rays, a cast and she had Lyme Disease the entire time. They told me she needed surgery on her leg. They casted her. Then they tested her for Lyme disease after 3 hours of being there and sent me home with pills saying shell be fine. They left the cast on because they felt she still may have a small crack somewhere. They are there to get your money, not to care for your pet. Be warned! Read Less

I have no idea why anyone would give this place a bad review... I've been to multiple vets and with all of them they only cared about the money not the animal in need of medical attention. But that's all different at Steinway animal hospital. Let's start with the staff Hector and Marilyn are absolutely phenomenal! As a worried cat mom I had 6 millions of questions and they were always able to answer them and ensured me that everything would be okay! They were beyond kind and just made me feel safe bringing my cat to them. They were super gentle when it came to handling my cat mittens and you can tell the amount of love they have for animals. Dr. Tadros is honestly the greatest vet. He speaks to your pet like it's his own and really makes sure that they are comfortable while checking them. What I like the most is he explains everything he's doing before he touches your pet. He also makes sure that if you notice any changes when you go home, you will be one of the first patients the following day to ensure your pet is well.  The prices at this hospital are also very fair it won't cost you an arm and a leg like most offices! At the end of your visit I also appreciate how they break down the funds to show you where everything is coming from. Unlike other offices who just hand you medicine and that's it hector and Marilyn literally explained everything before leaving such as how to care for my pet and how much medicine and how many times a day. They are all such genuine pet lovers and you can tell how humble they are. If you're looking for the best animal hospital you've found it. After coming here I will never look for another vet to care for my pets and you shouldn't either! Thank you again for caring for mittens I'm forever grateful ! Read Less

After 10 years of Living in NYC I finally found a go to  vet. I actually found Dr Tadros and Steinway Animal Hospital by mistake. I had a very sick 10 year old cat who was throwing up and needed to be seen right away. I called Steinway Animal Hospital and Dr. Tadros fit him in right away. The mistake happened because I 'thought" I had called another vet on Steinway that I sometimes will go to (but when I do go I'm not usually happy with)  and when I brought in my sick cat into the wrong office, this particular vet (not Steinway Animal Hospital) was very rude and told me I had no appointment and would have to wait at least an hour and they'd "try" to work me in. I immediately left and took my poor guy to the right place down a few blocks to Dr. Tadros and I was happy I did. This was my first time at Steinway Animal hospital and the staff was friendly and Dr. Tadros was caring and knowledgeable. Between the coarse of a month I have been to Dr Tadros multiple times for both of my cats. The staff is really great. Hector, Michael, Anna and one other girl who I dealt with are very sweet. They stayed open late for me one evening when I was running late, called me with updates when one cat had to get a procedure done, and they always know me and ask how both kitties are when I call. The prices are fairly reasonable for a NY vet as well. Although like any vet, ASK what they charges are ahead of time so you aren't in shock when you get the bill. It is ultimately up to you what you want done vs what is suggested and knowing ahead of time as well as good communication is key. Read Less

Horrible experience. I took my 22 year old cat to this vet because he was acting a little strange, and I wanted to make sure that he was not in any pain, or if he had an infection that needed to be treated, and that is exactly what I told this office. I did not want to cause my animal any pain whatsoever. The receptionist and vet tech were so nice, the vet tech was obviously very caring. But when the doctor came in, it was a different story. He was cold and insensitive. He gave my poor frail elderly cat an exam, and said that he has a heart murmur, and one of his kidneys "feels a little different". He was so vague about that, it had me a little suspicious. Then he proceeded to tell me that my can needs 350$ worth of blood work and an echocardiogram. The echocardiogram actually made me laugh a little, because its so ridiculous to even put my cat through that. Then he explained that my cat may be diabetic, in kidney failure, or even have thyroid problems, and all of these things needed to be explored. They said that they would take blood out of his back leg. His back legs are so weak, I told them I would never agree to cause him anymore pain, especially in that area that already causes him discomfort. I asked him if there was anything I could do or give him at home that would make him feel better, such as a senior diet or vitamins. He would not even recommend anything without the blood work. This guy is gross, he clearly does not care about the animals, and only wants money. No wonder his office was empty when I went there. I had an in home vet service come the next day to see my cat, and they were like a breath of fresh air. They listened to me and my concerns, they were so gentle with my cat, and gave me so many recommendations to use at home WITHOUT PUTTING HIM THROUGH ANY PAINFUL PROCEDURES. They truly cared, complete opposite from the Steinway Animal Hospital. If you love your animal, as I do, DO NOT TAKE THEM THERE!! Read Less

If you care for your pet and your bank account, do not take your animal here. I had to board my cat for the night and he needed an update on his vaccines. My regular vet was booked up for the day, so I had to find another vet; thus, I took him to Steinway Animal Hospital. The receptionists/vet assistants were very friendly, but once the vet himself walked in, he claimed a long list of things were wrong with my cat, including an ear infection and dental problems. He told me that my cat needed an $800 dental cleaning every 6 months to a year. He tried to tell me he needed Frontline and that he would apply it for me (even though he's an indoor cat, has no history of fleas, and we have no other animals). After the appointment, I immediately booked an appointment with my regular vet for a second opinion. First off, my vet said it didn't look like he had an ear infection at all. Secondly, the dental cleaning would only cost $270 with her. She said he wouldn't need a cleaning but maybe every few years. She said there was no need for Frontline given his history, etc. And she said the blood work for my cat would only be $80-$150 depending on the scope of it, unlike the $300 they quoted me at Steinway Animal Hospital.This vet is an alarmist, and I am certain he is committing fraud left and right to make more money. It makes me extremely sad for the animals and their owners who go here. Read Less

My boyfriend and I brought in our frenchie two times for a split nail. Since he was bleeding, this place was the closest. They charged us $300 to basically just bandage him up. They gave him unnecessary antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory shots both times we went as well. They told us we would have to keep him in a cone for 6 months while the nail grew out. I felt so bad for my dog so I took him to another vet. This vet only charged $70 and actually fixed the problem just by clipping his nail all the way down. Long story short- they're a rip off and can barely understand the guy because of his accent. Take your pets elsewhere Read Less

I took my cat in on a Sunday with symptoms consistent with a UTI.  I expected a bill of around $150-200, between the weekend exam rate (which is understandably higher than weekday) and antibiotics.  Without any sort of coherent explanation, talking around in circles, incoherently talking about crystals and blockages and stones (without actually explaining anything), and then jumping immediately to worst case scenario (despite the lack of symptoms for worst case scenario), he took x-rays and did blood work.  He also injected an antibiotic (understandable), and then gave me a bottle of antibiotic to give twice a day for 10 days.  I was then handed a bill of $540.  Once I had the bill in my hand, it took another 30 minutes for the receptionist to ring me up.  He was ridiculously slow, took another customer before me who had just walked in, and my cat and I had already been at the vet for an hour.  Had there been any communication from the doctor about what he was doing and why: "I would really like to take an x-ray to rule out x, y, and z, but it does cost $250, and the blood work is going to cost 200, but will tell us this, and the penicillin injection is necessary to clear up the infection" I wouldn't have even questioned it.  Then he says "You have to completely change his diet to this prescription food that you can only order by the case through my office."  I have another cat, and so if I change one cat's food, I have to change both.  He didn't seem to understand or address any of the concerns I had about giving prescription food to my other cat who has no urinary tract problems.  This is also the second time he has absolutely insisted that I change my cats' food to this special kind that I can only order through him, which already had me questioning his motives.7 days later, I ran out of the antibiotic that had been prescribed for 10 days, so I call the office.  The receptionist says "Right, well, the antibiotic expires in 7 days, so we can't give you more than that at a time, so if you need another 3 days, you'll have to pay for another bottle."  Again, this had never been communicated to me.  I was handed a bottle and told "give this to him twice a day for 10 days," so why should I have to pay another $35?  He seems to be in this business to scrape every last penny out of you as possible.  If you are going to go to this guy, I recommend asking a ton of questions, and not allowing him to do anything unless he gives you a reasonable answer.I will not be returning to this vet.

This place just wants your money.  I went here because my cat wasn't feeling well. She gets UTIs when stressed. Upfront the doctor seemed very nice and concerned about the cat and its condition. They did extras tests on her that they didnt tell me that i would be charged for. then said that she needed all of these drugs to cure her condition. and that she would have to be on a special diet all of her life. So i paid for all of these extras drugs that she hatted. when the antibiotics would have been just fine. after the months worth of drugs were taken and i changed her diet, she got another UTI. I tried to order more antibiotics through 1800pedmeds and the vet wouldnt authorize it saying that i need to bring her back in first. that it could be something else and that she just cant retake the same antibiotics. antibiotics are antibiotics. its the same freaking thing that was happening before..

Normally I wouldn't take the time to write a review regarding a poor experience, but this particular establishment seemed to warrant just a little bit more of my anger than others. First things first, my dog had chronic heart failure. His stomach was accruing excess fluid buildup and the root cause seemed to have been CHF, both sides. I had already taken my dog to the emergency animal hospital in Elmhurst, and made my trip over to Steinway Animal Hospital the day after. He was able to call a "heart specialist" to run an echocardiogram on the heart and livers and determined it to be the cause of the problem. At this point, I was simply a scared pet owner who wanted their pet to get better. Dr. Tadros butchered me on the examination costs, excess (and he himself admitted as useless) additional tests like blood panels, etc, medications, and dietary supplements. I was never informed nor consulted regarding what it was my pet needed, but simply charged and ordered to pay. Since my dog's diagnosis of chronic heart failure is a permanent condition, he would require medication for the rest of his life. A week later I sought to get prescriptions for the pet from an alternative pet drug store in NYC. Dr. Tadros was extremely resistant to the idea. I justifiably needed to fill 3 weeks worth of medication before his reexamination, and when I refused to purchase them from him, he made things difficult. There's something to be said about a man who does business in such a manner.I found Dr. Tadros to be a reasonably amiable guy when I had brought my dogs in for his "puppy package." I had no problems and thought he'd be a fine vet. It was only after an emergency, that I found myself hating his professionalism. I would stay away from him, since there are plenty of other viable vets in the neighborhood. Read Less

My dog had a medical emergency so we rushed him the Steinway Animal Hospital as it was super convenient and close to home.The receptionist was sweet, kind with my dog, which I really appreciated, but the Dr., on the other hand, (wish I could remember his name) barely checked my dog, automatically assumed the worst and told me he needed to go the the hospital (which he ended up healing just fine with some antibiotics, ointment and at home TLC). He also heavily criticized me for not having my dog up to date on shots, when I had taken him in from a home where he was left alone for several days at a time. It was just a very unsafe environment for myself and for my dog. My bill was rather large for having done very little for my dog, he made me feel terrible (literally laughed in my face) and didn't run a thorough check. The Dr. pretty much stood there shaking his head & not saying much. How this place has won so many awards is beyond meI only went back to this place for a check up as he was the Dr. that had originally seen him.I've resorted to the Human Society as well as the Animal Hospital on 62nd st and received stellar care. They really took the time to answer/address all of our questions/concerns, ran several tests, gave us options, had very positive attitudes and my dog was very comfortable with them which made me realize how terrible Steinway Animal Hopsital is.I've learned my lesson & will not be returning to this place.

I had been taking my dog to the Astoria Animal Hospital for all veterinary needs as I am a resident of Astoria and this place was very convenient. They offered a puppy package that saved me a load of money on my dog's vaccinations and they did a great job neutering him. I, however, am very unsatisfied with their services. About a year ago my dog got a pretty severe ear infection. He had been scratching at it regularly and the drops I picked up were extremely uncomfortable for him. I took him to see the vet here and all he said was that he had some hairs growing inside of his ears and the problem could be fixed by simply taking him to the groomer and asking them to remove the hairs. I followed these instructions and upon picking him up from the groomer she scolded me for not taking care of this issue, I told her what the vet said and she said he certainly had no idea what he was talking about and that the infection needed to be treated medically. Today I took my dog to be groomed at a new place and they called the vet asking for my dogs rabies vaccination certificate. The woman on the phone notified the groomer that my dog was not up to date on his vaccinations, in fact he was seven months behind on his rabies vaccine. I am absolutely furious that I was never even so much as told he'd have to receive the vaccine annually and on top of that the vets office didn't call to make sure that we were updating him even seven months later. Thankfully it's not too late and he hasn't contracted anything, but this office is highly irresponsible and isn't concerned with teaching a first time dog owner how to maintain a healthy pet.

There aren't enough stars to give this place :)))))))) Whenever I come in, even in the most dire of circumstances, I am treated like family.  Drs. Tadros and Hanna are the best vets I've ever encountered and stay in constant contact with you day and night (and are willing to talk to you whenever you call).  They are true lovers of animals and in my opinion, their guardian angels.  They will work with you if you have financial needs but want to provide your animal with the best care possible for their condition. Most recently, my little kitty developed crystals in his bladder that prevented him from urinating and I took  him to the Elmhurst Animal Hospital as this vet was off for a holiday.  Once they opened they were very quick to arrange for all of my cat's tests to be sent over so that I could transfer him for bladder surgery, thus saving his life.  Dr. Hanna is always available when I call and willing to answer any questions I might have.  I love these guys and honestly as vets go, they just don't get any better than these two!!

I brought my 2 year old cat in for a check up appointment a few days ago (during the nice torrential downpour, which my cat LOVED experiencing), and everything went very smooth. I was concerned about a patch of fur that my cat had managed to lick completely away, and I thought that it was probably due to the stress of moving apartments recently but I wasn't sure. Dr. Tadros seemed to agree, especially since the spot on her stomach had already started healing during the several days between when I called and the appt. I was also able to get her rabies shot updated as well, which was an additional $25 on top of the check up fee of $53 (I walked after paying $78 total).Both Dr. Tadros and the support staff were gentle with my cat, allowed me to help in order to calm her down (she wasn't *too* anxious with the exception of shooting me the "I hate you, I really hate you" look during the rabies shot and when she was getting her temperature taken), and seem to actually care about the animals they see. Nothing too exciting happened and it was a fairly quick appt (I think I spent more time hailing cabs then I did in the appt), but when it comes to health, that's probably a good thing.My only complaint is that they pretty much expect you to pay everything up front (my bill was only $78, so it was certainly manageable for me this time). Vet costs, like medical costs, can be really expensive and unlike with medical insurance, most pet insurances will not cover routine check-ups and preventative care. If you did not have the pet insurance to cover the unexpected astronomical costs from, say, a broken bone or a serious illness, you could be expected to pay $1000 or more upfront. No one can really afford that these days. Read Less

I arrived home to find my cat had been throwing up for what had to be a good part of the day. I initially thought she just ate too fast or something, and that it would pass. As the night moved on, the vomiting did not. Worried, I kept waking up throughout the night to check on her. A couple times she would howl before throwing up again. Clearly this was serious. At 7am I called Steinway Animal Hospital (knowing they wouldn't be open yet, but hoping nonetheless). One of the staff members was already there, and I proceeded to inform him about the issue. He told me to just come in at 10:30am when the vet arrived and they would see my cat. I arrived around 9:45 just to be on the safe side if the place got busy. There was only one other person ahead of me, and although I did have to wait a little while, I was extremely grateful for them squeezing me in without an appointment! The waiting room is small, but as others here have said, quiet and comfortable. My cat cried the entire way to the vet, but calmed down once there. Thankfully, they had an hdtv playing Animal Planet, so I had something to watch while I waited! After we were called in, Dr. Tadros took a look at my cat using pretty awesome equipment I've never seen at a vet before (some sort of flashlight/camera contraption). Tadros and staff were very friendly to my cat, soothing her during this traumatic experience! He decided to do some bloodwork to ensure she didn't have some form of liver or pancreatic infection, as well as an x-ray to check for any metal or foreign objects she may have ingested. I knew he wasn't pulling my leg and performing unnecessary tests, since I had a cat earlier in life who passed away from a liver infection, and had similar symptoms. When Tadros returned with the x-rays, he pulled them up on a computer and displayed them for me on an hdtv, taking the time to show me in full detail what we were looking at. He was also extremely patient with me when I had tons of questions, or asked him to repeat what he had said (he has a thick accent). The bloodwork came back ridiculously fast (usually this takes a couple days!!), so my mind was quickly put to rest when he found no abnormalities! We ultimately believe she may have swallowed a feather from a cat toy I got her. I was given plenty of meds to give her, and reassurances that if anything happens, he'll get back at her immediately! He even offered to waive the cost of re-hydrating her if I couldn't do it at home (I just can't stick a needle into my cat!!). The cost was pretty expensive for everything, but not outside the realm of what you'd expect to pay for a vet visit. This experience has definitely convinced me to purchase pet insurance for my cat!! I can't afford any more accidental ingestions!! Thanks again Dr. Tadros and team! It's clear you care very much about your patients! I will definitely be back for my cat's check ups!*As an update, I took Jet back the next morning to get more IV fluids put  into her since she didn't drink any of the stuff they gave me to take home. I'm not entirely sure the place is even really open for business on Sundays, yet I was still able to bring Jet in and have them hydrate her for me. To further prove how much they care about pets, I saw this MASSIVE cat walking around the office. The assistant told me that he was abandoned my his owner (she brought him in for a check up and never came back to get him!!!). They decided to take him in and take care of him!For that, I've bumped my review from 4 to 5 stars for being a vet that truly cares about animals! Read Less
