I am forever grateful to Dr. Monaco and his empathetic staff. I brought in my 21 year old red eared slider as she wasn't eating. Dr. Monaco did whatever tests were necessary but agreed with me when I said that Β I was considering putting her down after discussing the results, rather than pushing additional unnecessary tests and procedures on her. He didn't charge me for an additional Xray he needed as I had paid for one at another exotic vet on one of his days off. I didn't even ask him to do this! He is compassionate and a terrific vet. Turtie was in the best of hands, it was just her time to go. When they gave me her body to bury , I found inside the box a sympathy note and a little bunch of flowers.This practice is amazing. Highly recommend!Marjorie from Woodbury Read Less

My dog has been loving coming here for two years now. I've had him vaccinated, checked up, boarded several times, and neutered here and have always had a great experience. I also buy his heartworm and flea preventative meds here. Dr. Monaco and Dr. Eisbruck are both great and friendly. The rest of the staff is also great and they always remember my little Elvis. My dog is scared of pretty much everything but wags his tail to see everyone here and whines when the door in the waiting area is closed because he wants to get to the other side ASAP! Read Less

We were forced due to my health to come down to Florida. All the people I knew recommended a particular vet here. Our dog was climbing the stairs one day and hurt her leg. We took her to the recommended vet and he told us she needed surgery. The Florida vet also claimed to know doctor Monaco. It seems he has a number of family members in New York and they all use him. I let him know I wanted to speak to doctor Monaco before considering something as invasive as surgery. Dr. Monaco spoke to the vet and suggested another course of action and our dog has not had an issue since. It has been four months now and she is still doing fine without the surgery. Thank God for Dr. Monaco!!!!!! There is no more qualified and wonderful veterinarian on earth. He's amazing!!!!! Read Less

Dr. Eisbruck took the time to go over our new pup with us in detail and was very gentle. You can tell right off the bat she is very knowledgeable and professional!

You immediately trust his knowledge and judgement. He is an incredibly skilled surgeon, as Cassi had many surgeries in her life (some with emergency vets) and Dr. Monaco's surgeries left her with little recovery needed and almost no bruising.

Dr. Monaco is an amazing veterinarian. He's knowledgeable and patient - and he tolerates my paranoia. I really appreciate that he's one of the few board-certified avian vets out there. Dr. Monaco is very gentle with my birds (ringneck/sun conure/alexandrine), and you can tell he adores animals. Bonus: the office staff are friendly and easy to deal with. My only complaint is that he's so far away from Brooklyn! Read Less

Very sad to see all the animals in need. Personally I wish I was able to take them all. But the staff is very nice, and seems like they genuinely care.

Dr Monaco is a wonderful, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate doctor who both knows his stuff, and also treats both pets and their owners with care. Dr. Monaco has taken care of our little parrotlets for years, and has helped keep them in excellent health. It is so reassuring to have a great avian specialist nearby, when they are few and far between. We are very thankfully for Dr. Monaco's care. Read Less

Dr. Monaco and his staff are the best. They cared for our ferret, Cassi, for seven years. Dr. Monaco is excellent at giving you all the facts and diagnosing underlying problems. You immediately trust his knowledge and judgement. He is an incredibly skilled surgeon, as Cassi had many surgeries in her life (some with emergency vets) and Dr. Monaco's surgeries left her with little recovery needed and almost no bruising. The staff there is top notch, with many of the vet assistants ready to help take blood or get medicine with a smile. I would recommend this clinic to anyone with an exotic.Read Less

I brought my turtle to Dr Monaco, a new experience for me as I've always had dogs and cats. Dr. M treated my turtle like an old friend and was very thorough. He found something wrong with him through a stool sample and sent me home with injectable medication so I could treat Big George properly without repeated visits. Sure enough, he was cured and healthy. I wouldn't take my turtle anywhere else. Read Less
