In the mid 1990s, I took my white German Shephard, Mocha, to see Dr. Kolins for a second opinion after she suffered from a variety of serious problems that no other vet seemed to diagnose correctly. To make a long story short, Dr. Kolins literally saved Mocha’s life and there began my long association with New Hyde Park Animal Hospital. Thereafter, I have had the privilege to have Dr. Santora and Dr. DiGrazia care for three more dogs, including my present dog, Pax. Both vets are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. It is not unusual for Dr. Santora to spend quality time with my dog before examination so that she (and I) are calm and comfortable throughout the process. In addition to providing excellent medical care for my dog, she is patient with all my questions and provides down-to-earth guidance and assistance with all my dogs’ needs throughout their lives. Dr. DiGrazia helped me to survive two difficult situations (one with my 14 year old beloved dog, Bella, and another with a new/young rescued dog), often giving up her own personal time to answer all my questions and to assist me in making very hard decisions (probably two of the hardest decisions I ever had to make in my life). As far as the office staff, everyone – from the receptionists to the techs – is polite, friendly and helpful. My dog and I always feel comfortable when we walk in the office, too. It is clean, orderly and pleasant. I highly recommend New Hyde Park Animal Hospital for pet care. Read Less
