Nassau Veterinary Clinic

Very attentive, concerned staff (from the doctors to the receptionists), always actively seeking the best health options for your pet. Multiple doctors on staff. Several exam rooms available. Usually able to schedule a visit pretty quickly (soon) according to the situation. Vet also has Saturday hours, in addition to an on-call service outside of their regular business hours. Services are pretty expensive, but that is true of most vets, and I feel like I'm getting good value for what I'm paying. Vet has a supply of pet toys and food on site for cats and dogs, including some "prescription" foods. Has comfortable waiting area, though you usually don't stay there very long. The checkout counter (where you pay for the visit) has hookups to allow you to attach a leash so that you don't have a pet tugging on your arm while trying to pay. HIGHLY recommend! Read Less

I have been going here for years. Dr Phillips saved my boxers life when he was a puppy. I remember my husband carrying him inside because he couldn't walk on his back legs extremely high fever. I really thought my dog was going to die and I remember Dr Phillips replying with.. not if I can help it and he was true to his word. He put him on IVs and he did a 360 and for that I will be forever grateful to Nassau vet.  My dog absolutely loves Dr Dietrich and Alex.  I have to say my boxer has a file full of health issues and Dr Deitrich has gone above and beyond as his vet. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pets and that say a lot because my pets are my world. Read Less

Condescending, smug, 'advocates' for my dog. No, you're an advocate for your bottom line. If getting nickel and dimed...I mean, if getting $20 and $50'd into poverty somehow makes you feel like you're 'doing night' by your animal, then this is the place for you.  I do believe they throw the condescending, air of superiority in for free....But I'd have to check my receipt to be sure.

I have been using Nassau Vet Clinic for years, as vet services, training, never boarding though.  Unfortunately a few months ago they gave both our cats a deadly dose of a medication.  They did not know the medication from the manufacturer was bad and should not have been given.  That being said, they have not assisted us to recover all of our medical costs while trying to save our two cats as well as the cost for cremation.  Knowing with all documentation this was the reasoning.  Very disappointed in how they handled this situation.  I will never do business with them again!  Two cats dead within a month of one another, b/c of their actions!

We recently needed to establish a regular vet for our two cats close to our new house. Nassau Vet has been wonderful. Friendly staff, responsive to calls and questions, and they were able to quickly fit us in for an appointment. They have very convenient hours, including evening nights and weekends.Our one cat is a bit of a difficult patient, and they were very accommodating. During her exam they had a vet tech stay and feed her treats to distract her. It worked like a charm! Overall they were very gentle and compassionate to our pets, clearly explained things, and made us feel very comfortable with the level of service and care provided. Highly recommended. Read Less

Wonderful staff from the moment you walk through the door to discharge. We never knew treatment could be this exceptional. They take the time to explain all options but never try to push anything. We recently started taking our two cats there and we could not be more satisfied. . Read Less

Taking your pet to the vet is rarely a pleasant experience. Between the worry that there might be something wrong with your little guy or gal to having to leave your pet behind for the day (or a couple of days) to have work done, it takes a special kind of place to alleviate the stress involved with this process. Nassau Veterinary Clinic is a professional operation on every level. It starts when you're greeted at the door by the clinic staff, all of which standing at the ready with smiles on their faces. The waiting area for patients is clean and organized. In each of my experiences here, I didn't wait more than a couple of minutes before being shown to a private room where you and your pet can both relax. The doctors at Nassau Veterinary Clinic are also fantastic. I worked with Dr. Phillips in identifying and correcting a handful of dental issues that had been affecting my cat. Before any procedures were scheduled, Dr. Phillips took the time to meet with me and thoroughly explain his plan, along with the reasons why he felt the procedure was necessary. He referred to contemporary research, presented pictures, and other information as he detailed these plans. This is something that I really appreciated and contrary to all other vet experiences I've had throughout my life.Then, when the day of the procedure arrived, the Clinic continued in providing the necessary support and resources to ensure that everything went smoothly. It was more than just dropping off and picking up my pet - there was a pre-surgery meeting when everything was detailed and specifics were confirmed, I received a call halfway through the procedure to report that everything was going fine, and there was also a post-surgery meeting to discuss aftercare. Even after returning home for a couple of hours, the Clinic staff called to make sure that everything was going okay. While this was a pricey endeavor, I would certainly rather pay a little extra to get the treatment that we received. The bedside manner, compassion, and professionalism of the Nassau Veterinary Clinic are truly unparalleled in my experience. When you are faced with the difficult decision of bringing your pet to a vet, you should absolutely make the drive to Nassau. You won't be sorry that you did. Read Less

I have a very nervous dog.  She recently had to have two ultrasounds.  Dr. Dietrich and her staff made this experience for my dog, Cricket, a calm one.  Cricket let them lay her on her back, something she does not like, and shave her little belly, she laid there and let the doctor do it.  Put jell on her little belly and use the wand to check her organs.  Everyone at Nassau was professional and welcoming.  If I didn't live an hour away, I would make Nassau Veterinary Clinic my dog's place to go.  Thank you to everyone there for making a stressful experience for me a good one.

Over the past almost 25 years, we've lived all over the country and had to make use of many different vets. Nassau is easily one of the best we've ever used. For six years we've brought our basenji to them, and no matter what we've had to do, from routine visits to some delicate surgery, the care is outstanding. No, they are not the cheapest solution. But, they do an excellent job of caring for our canine companion. They even recommended other vets when it was warranted. Read Less

This is a well rounded clinic that will care for your animals throughout their lifespan. I have my two dogs and one cat under their care since 2005. I attended their dog training program and HIGHLY RECOMMEND this program to all new dog owners Big and Small. The office staff are exceptionally friendly and caring persons. Marlene is wonderful. Thank-you to all who care for my animals. Read Less

EVERYONE is so kind and caring. Makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. They show so much love & respect for both pet & owner. We were so very fortunate to find Nassau Vet. as Dr. Phillips is one of only 73 in the nation that specializes in "doggie dental" & REALLY knows his stuff. He explained things about teeth to us that no dentist ever has. We had to bring our dog back in very late the day after surgery and everyone's attitude remained kind & most helpful.So grateful to have these folks!!!! Read Less

I live 45 minutes away from the clinic and I can honestly say it is well worth the trip. The Clinic offers amazing care with an incredibly caring and compassionate staff. The dog training classes are the best offered for 100s of miles. Puppy classes are awesome and there is something for everyone from Tails on Trials to Tracking. I would highly recommend Nassau Veterinary Clinic to EVERYONE, Read Less
