Setauket Animal Hospital

Dr. Brown and his staff are so kind and truly treat animals with such love and care. I couldn't imagine bringing my dog anywhere else!! I highly recommend bringing your beloved fur babies here,  they will be treated like family,  and so will you! Read Less

Satauket Animal Hospital should establish management classes for other vet clinics. Great staff. Dynomite vets. Super people and animal skills..which means so much when I bring my ailing shivering cats in. Bravo! Read Less

Dr. Brown, Dr. Cooper, and the entire staff truly go the extra mile - not only do they treat my cats with the utmost care and respect, but they take the time to answer all of my questions and treat me as a valued client. Exceptionally clean and friendly atmosphere too! Read Less

I can’t say enough about the staff at SAH. Compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and every visit treating your pet as their own. They do not try to sell unnecessary treatments and always make sure to recommend what’s best for your pet. They’re always 100% honest when it comes to costs and available treatments and what would be best for you and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for veterinary care!!! Read Less

Cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Brown and his staff treated my cat. He was a rescue and had lots of issues that needed attention. They were professional, compassionate, supportive and very kind. Over time with their help and patience (mostly with me and all my questions!) all of my cat's issues have been resolved. Read Less

I am not happy with their care at all. When I took my dog there for blood work it took several days before I got a phone call with the results, but this was expected. What I didnt expect was what happened after that call. Before ending the call with Dr Johnson,  I requested a hard copy of lab work & the treatment because I couldn't write it all down and it was troubling news to digest. All I wanted were the names of the meds, the dosage, what they were for and the cost. Well, it took 11 days and multiple phone calls to finally get the report which I needed for use in consultation with my breeder and maybe 2nd opinion / another vet. Dr Johnson had the nerve to say he tried to call me previously and that he left the report at the front desk. Little did he realize the report finally received was time stamped 15 mins before I got.   I told him in this day and age not one call showed up on my voice mail, caller id or phone records. Then it took several days to finally get the medication, which further delayed my dogs care and I ended up telling him " Delayed Care equals No Care" When I called asking for meds, Dr Johnson wasnt in, and Dr Brown wouldn't submit the scripts on my behalf. His response was that Dr Johnson was the only one that could call in the antibiotics and other meds. I have never experienced being denied care/scripts from being called in after the treating Physician has ordered it, any any other Dr/PA/Receptionist will do it without hesitation. This makes me believe the chart and meds weren't written down or made available. Another several days went by and I came in for another visit  (no post care phone calls from Vet) and I explained my dogs symptoms- lack of eating, etcAnother several days goes by and I had to call  Dr Johnson and inform him that my dog isnt eating. He says we could give her an appetite stimulant and I'm floored, and say "why wasn't I told this before when I mentioned this very problem multiple times previously." My pet may have had a fighting chance if she had started her meds sooner, was offered the one script to make her want to eat, but everything was so late. Maybe a followup phone call or two could have made a difference in careWell my poor girl died shortly therafter and I never heard from the office since that last visit. I recommend to any pet owner to question any advice, demand test results to be furnished immediately, get their prescriptions when promised, and dont let the vetdrag their feet after you advocate on behalf of your pet conveying their symptoms to let them spiral without intervention.

My wife and I have been bringing our two cats to Setauket Animal Hospital since we moved into the Port Jeff area a few years ago.  Changing vets can be stressful for pets and for their owners, but the great people here really made the transition easy.  It was evident to us from our first appointment that Dr. Brown and his staff really do care about the animals, which for any pet owner is the #1 priority when looking for a new vet.  We started here and continue to bring our cats here because we always felt like we were being given honest, fair, and safe options, which is not always the case with other vets (in my experience).  I've recommended Dr. Brown, Marti, and Setauket Animal Hospital to both friends and family and will continue to do so in the future. We love these guys! Read Less

Dr. Brown is the best Dr I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My dog has a rather serious diagnosis and dr brown took the time to kindly and gently examine my dog. You can sense his care and concern the moment that he walks into the room. Additionally he treated the owner too. My concern was at threat level red mostly due to lack of understanding of what was going on. He explained everything and listened to my questions and answered appropriately. On the second visit it was obvious that he listened to how I learn which was by reading and had printed out some documents that explained the disease and how the medication works. Perfect! Finally when the tests came back better then expected you could sense that he was excited (but professional). And he's not there to separate you from as much of your money as possible. It's not a charity but there is no Mercedes benz in the parking lot. Read Less

the absolute best. I cannot say enough about Dr. Brown and his wonderful staff. Such compassionate care when my elderly cat was declining and when he had to be put down. They were absolutely wonderful. Read Less

Dr Brown is the best. He is the real deal. It's a simple place, no fancy exam rooms, no high tech. But the genuine caring atmosphere is tangible when you walk in the door. He isn't going to over charge for his services and is very concerned about keeping his prices affordable. Yet it is his don't let that cause doubt about his knowledge of your pets health. He is going to talk to you, explain exactly what is going on with your pet, and give you options, in order of importance. He is coming in on his day off because of his concern for your pet. Yes, he is the real deal. Read Less

My mom brought in a squirrel that had been hit by a car to this hospital, in the hopes that the doctor would be able to put it out of its misery, as it was suffering. The doctor rudely told her that "putting it to sleep would come out of his profits." I have a hard time understanding how someone whose chosen profession is to care for and help animals could be so cold hearted. I understand this wasn't a dog or a cat, or someone's pet. But it was an animal that was suffering. Needless to say, I will be telling everyone I know that has pets to avoid this office. Read Less

Dr. Brown and Marty came to my house today to euthanize our baby girl, Chloe. She was 13 years old, FIV+ and took a turn for the worst Dr. Brown and Marty made this as easy as possible for us and was so compassionate throughout the whole experience. Thank you so much!!! I can't express my gratitude enough. Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about Setauket Animal Hospital! They have been amazing throughout my cat's 2 year battle with a rare cancer. The whole office rallied around us when we had to put him down, hugged me when I cried and walked us out to the car. In the mail I received a personalized card from each of the staff! Heartwarming! If your looking for a new vet this is it! Money isn't the basis for all conversations about care & they work with you. They never try to oversell procedures or product and there never is a long wait in the waiting room! Thank you guys so much! Max's mom. The Shults family! Read Less

Wonderful staff, clean facility, excellent care for my puppy. Could not be happier with Dr Brown and all of the staff. They are patient, helpful, and informative, and have been very accommodating with appointments. Great vet!!! Read Less

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Dr. Brown and his staff for their compassion this past weekend. Our beloved cat was nearing the end of her life and we had to make the worst decision to euthanize her. Dr. Brown stayed after hours and was comforting and compassionate the whole way. He was cautious with his words in front of our 10 year old, who was dealing with losing her "sister". Thank you for making this most difficult time just a little easier. Read Less

Dr. Brown is the best. He is one of the kindest people I've ever met and I just love his staff. They all make you feel so welcomed. Thank you for all you did for our cat Mishka before, during and after his surgery!!!!! And for taking such care with our new puppies as well. You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Read Less

A hidden gem in the Setauket area.I rescued a beautiful Cocker Spaniel a few months back and the past owner had been coming to Setauket Animal Hospital for check ups and booster shots.We walk in and they're all screaming, yay! He's such a good boy, thanks for rescuing him!!My Cocker Spaniel had a few ear infections and Setauket Animal Hospital has treated all of them. Always nice to come here, its a large office building with plenty of parking. The office is located on a nice quite road, no need to worry about cars doing 60 MPH and your dog running in the street like some other places that shall not be named...Words that come to mind are patient, considerate and clean would describe this business. The  name of this place throws me because its a Veterinarians office that will also Pet Board/Pet Sitting if needed. Don't make the mistake I did when I moved to East Setauket and go to another Vet. Setauket Animal Hospital should be your only stop for your pet Vet needs Read Less

We brought our dog Rocky in on Monday after being treated sat night in the ER in Selden. Rocky had eaten about a lb of grapes. Dr. Brown didn't like the fact that although Rocky's Creatine blood level was in the normal range, 1.4, it was the highest level of the range. The next few days even though he was being treated it ranged up to 1.8. Putting him on an IV would require 24 hour monitoring. Morgan, one of the caring employees that works there volunteered to stay overnight with Rocky so he could be administered continuous IV fluids. I understand she has some pics with him in her lap overnight because he does that when he's anxious. It requires you being able to withstand 95 LBS of Pit Bull in your lap. The next day with more fluids his level was down to a very normal 1.1. He went home and ate like he hadn't in months. It just shows you the dedication that Dr. Brown and his whole staff including Morgan, Marti, Genevieve and I didn't get the new male techs name, have to the animals they care for.Read Less

Tequila (My dog) and I are very happy customers! After switching from a different vet, we were recommended to try this guy out. A few people told me they come here so I finally had to take my pup in and it was a very pleasant visit. The front desk staff was so very friendly, kind and sweet. Dr. Brown was fantastic! Took no hesitation to get down on his hands and knees and figure out what exactly what going on with Tequila. We spoke about certain vaccinations and I said I'm unsure about them and he completely backed my up and understood me. Not pushy in the least bit about pills or shots or anything extra. Just told me the facts about what I should be doing and what I have a choice about doing. Very easy vet visit for me and my dog. I would highly recommend this vet, hands down!! Read Less

I took my two Yorkies to Dr. Brown for a check-up and was very pleased with the experience. Dr. Brown took his time with each dog; he was gentle and completely interested in their well being. His staff was professional and kind. Thank you, Setauket Animal Hospital.Read Less

Timothy Brown, DVM cared for my dogs and cats for over 4 years. My family mourned when Dr. Tim left the area to pursue specialized training in emergency medicine. He has recently begun his own practice to which he brings not only the breadth and depth of his knowledge but also his remarkable compassion for all animals - furry four-footed ones and humans alike.Read Less
