Have been waiting on an X-ray report on my dog since few days. Xray was taken on 5/26/19 and till 5/29/19 later afternoon and still no Xray report as I want to go for a second opinion to a different Vet. If you have a lot of money to spend and not get satisfactory care take your pet here. Coleen at the desk was very unsympathetic and who does not want to do anything to help patients. Upon me calling her several times on 5/29 throughout the course of the day just to get an Xray report for my dog was very upsetting, cause all she kept telling me "we are very busy and it will be sent as soon as possible." Even after my dog spending an overnight visit at the hospital on the night of 5/26 and we were assured he had no ticks we discovered 2 more ticks on him after we bought him home. We spent almost 1200.00 dollars between 2 days and yet this kind of service. Not even an apology from whoever is responsible to manage this facility.Will never visit this facility again....I wish I can give 0 stars!! Read Less

I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am to Dr. Gothelf and his team. I had recently moved to the area when my dog Major was attacked and was seriously injured. I myself was hurt trying to breakup the fight. I called several clinics before finding Syosset Animal Hospital who gave me the green light to bring Major in. We must have looked insane, I was covered in blood and still bleeding and my dog Major - who is a 90 pound staffie - was hurt badly. The reception team didn't even bat an eye, they got Major in a room and Dr. Gothelf and his tech came in to assess the extent of Majors injuries. They didn't judge us or make assumptions that he had been responsible for the fight, they were efficient and compassionate. They determined he needed to stay for a few days for treatment. Major has been my service dog for 5 years, I've never really been without him. I was so scared and upset that he wouldn't make it home. Dr. Gothelf told me that I just needed to take care of myself because he would take care of Major. In that moment, it was exactly what I needed to hear. Major stayed for 4 days. The techs sent me pictures and when I called (everyday) they were communicative and upfront in terms of cost, treatment plans and after care. They also were very responsive when I called with follow up questions. That day was truly one of the most difficult, I was convinced that my dog was dying. The team at Syosset Animal Hospital did everything they could to take care of my dog and he is almost at 100% again. These people are the real deal. I am so incredibly great full for their knowledge, professionalism and compassion. Read Less

Me and my boyfriend brought in our kitten a few weeks ago for a consultation and the vet said we had to test him because his gums seemed a little swollen. They did 2 tests (which when we brought him to a different vet said the tests were completely unnecessary) our first visit should have been free, but costed us $400. We asked how much his declaw and neuter would be and they told us $950. I understand the procedure is in humane but all our other cats don't have claws and he's starting to bully them and us. We found Mid Island Animal Hospital to do the procedure for $325. Syosset Animal Hospital is way too over priced Read Less

Where do I begin. Our family went through one of the most difficult times with our chocolate lab. Our little boy had experienced 3 seizures in 6 hours and we were so distraught. We were turned away from our veterinarian of almost a decade and didn't know where else to turn. A friend of ours recommended this animal hospital. We had called ahead and upon our arrival we were met outside by Dr. Silverstein and her team. They were so amazing and helpful in our time of need.         In the end we had to put our little boy to sleep rather than him suffer any longer. The staff of the animal hospital made the process and difficulty of this situation easier. The staff has such wonderful bedside manner and we will be forever grateful. We will be switching from our current vet to this facility. Amazing service, Bedside manner and empathy. Thank you. Read Less

I brought my 10 week old puppy here and she contracted kennel cough.  I had to take her to another animal hospital and now she is taking antibiotics.  The vet that we saw, Dr Silverstein is very young and does not seem very experienced.  My puppy was spayed and the stitches were supposed to be removed.  I realized after we left that she had failed to do so.  When I called to speak to her to inquire about this, she indicated that she was looking at the date we got her rather than the date of her surgery.  Needless to say, we had another vet remove them and will not be going back here.

I brought my kitten Mico @ 12wks old here & I continue to do so even though I have places closer to me because they truly care for their patients. The assistants are warm and caring and Mico feels very comfortable with them. They all give great advice not only in regards to Mico's health but also in regards to the type of insurance which would best suit me. If I had not gotton the advice I needed I would've purchased the wrong plan for my little guy. They saved me time & money. The Veterinarians are great and have patiently answered my questions. They explain things to me in detail making sure I have a clear understanding of what I need to do for Mico & why. I consider myself to be very lucky to have found the right people who continually provide a great enviornment not only for my Mico but for me as well. I highly reccommend this hospital and I have done so whenever I am talking to someone who is looking for a place for their little ones. Read Less

My cat and I are lucky to be in close proximity to such a wonderful place. I've had pets most of my adult life and have been to many animal hospitals and clinics, both in New York and on Long Island. Syosset Animal Hospital is, by far, the best experience my cat and I have ever had. The vets are very knowledgeable. Over the past year I had my kitten examined, spayed, and vaccinated there. All of the procedures and costs were reviewed with me before anything was to be done. Dr. Gothelf explained the laparoscopic spaying procedure to me in great detail, including the recovery period and the aftercare. All went exceptionally well and exactly as he had explained; by the way, the ultimate cost was actually less than what had been quoted. Dr. Gothelf is clearly well-informed on the recent advancements in veterinary medicine and it shows. He is a caring physician and my cat an I always feel very welcomed. Similarly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Silverstein. One evening, a couple of months ago, my cat ate chocolate (which, as it turns out, is more dangerous to cats than it is to dogs). I called the emergency number for the Syosset hospital and was quickly transferred to Dr. Silverstein. Unbelievably, this late in the evening, Dr. Silverstein interviewed me on what my cat had eaten, how much, and walked me through what needed to be done to assure my cat's safety. She had pulled out my cats chart in the meantime to get her weight and other stats. I was able to induce vomit and my cat was alright. Thank you!!!The receptionists and the support staff are warm, friendly and highly organized -- I've never had to wait extensively to be seen or discharged. Great team! Read Less

Unfortunately I had to give this vet one star when it does not deserve any. I have three pups at home and we took them here for about two years for minor issues. 1. Doggie # 1: had been getting cysts on its hip which had gone away the first time. The second time around the cysts came back Dr silverstein or whatever her name is did a culture and tissue sample on the cysts that had popped. She should have seen that there was a lot of dead tissue and the area was severely infected. We kept putting a spray on her which I later found out burns dogs. They gave me a ointment and antibiotic but neither was working because the area again was severely infected. We took her to another vet that said the antibiotic would have never worked and she needs to go into surgery to remove all the dead tissue. 2.Doggie # 2: My maltese was no more than 6 pounds. We had taken her a few months prior for a culture because i believed she had a UTI. They claim that she may have very well had a UTI, but that is very hard for me to believe. She was not getting better and since we put our trust in vets since they have the degrees we gave her a antibiotic. Few months later, I start to notice she is very skinny and not sure why. My puppy never had much of a appetite, but was insulted when the vet said I hope you are not giving her table food. Last time I checked giving a dog chicken with their meals is perfectly fine. She made me feel incompetent of taking care of our pets. Instead of checking how bony she was she said nope she gained weight and her teeth are really bad. I went there to resolve the puppy being so skinny not her teeth. Any good vet that would have seen my little girl would have known that this was not normal. Instead I put my trust in them and said she is ok. Few weeks later I see her slowly getting skinnier and skinnier. Unfortunately it was too late. All along she had something wrong with her liver and was not processing the proper nutrients. We had to put her to sleep due to the neglence of this vet. They are all about money. When I called to discuss doggie # 2 records I never got a prompt call and so I had to call. I had to yell at the receptionist to tell the other doctor who owns the practice to call me since I was an angry customer. Colleen was very helpful and remorseful, as for the other one she could care less like the doctor ms. silversten. All in all ill never get my puppy back, but this vet truly neglects the main issues of dogs and too busy recommending other things that have nothing to do with their condition. People forget that vets are not cheap and although $15,000 was spent on both dogs, it was because their cases were truly severe. We should not have to spend money on things that do not pertain to the condition of the our pets. Whats done is done. The male doctor is very nice, but still the trust and the way this places handles their cases is not up to par. Read Less

Worst care and cost anywhere. Could care less about your pet, only that you leave a credit card that we'll charge $1,000 but probably credit it back. Yeah right - $4,000 later and our cat was sicker than when we brought him in. Then they wanted to do surgery for about $2,000 (probably $4,000). They even suggested that maybe we should just put the cat to sleep! We took our cat to North Shore Animal League, a place that actually cares about your pet, found out cat was on wrong medicine from this place, surgery was absoluetly not needed and for a grand total of $250 he was cured.

Everyone can appreciate an emergency vet visit on a Sunday morning $$ but this is how I found my new vet!! My 11 year old daughter wants to be a vet and loves science, so I was sorry I didn't bring her to the appointment. Dr. Gothelf was so thorough and informative - I know exactly what to expect, how to know if something is wrong, and how my puppy's eyeball is feeling (this wasn't a life-threatening situation). It was an education for me. He even gave me useful diet info which wasn't even why we were there! Erin was so helpful when I called and everyone was so patient and unrushed.

Me and my boyfriend brought in our kitten a few weeks ago for a consultation and the vet said we had to test him because his gums seemed a little swollen. They did 2 tests (which when we brought him to a different vet said the tests were completely unnecessary) our first visit should have been free, but costed us $400. We asked how much his declaw and neuter would be and they told us $950. I understand the procedure is in humane but all our other cats don't have claws and he's starting to bully them and us. We found Mid Island Animal Hospital to do the procedure for $325. Syosset Animal Hospital is way too over priced Read Less

Where do I begin. Our family went through one of the most difficult times with our chocolate lab. Our little boy had experienced 3 seizures in 6 hours and we were so distraught. We were turned away from our veterinarian of almost a decade and didn't know where else to turn. A friend of ours recommended this animal hospital. We had called ahead and upon our arrival we were met outside by Dr. Silverstein and her team. They were so amazing and helpful in our time of need.         In the end we had to put our little boy to sleep rather than him suffer any longer. The staff of the animal hospital made the process and difficulty of this situation easier. The staff has such wonderful bedside manner and we will be forever grateful. We will be switching from our current vet to this facility. Amazing service, Bedside manner and empathy. Thank you. Read Less

I brought my 10 week old puppy here and she contracted kennel cough.  I had to take her to another animal hospital and now she is taking antibiotics.  The vet that we saw, Dr Silverstein is very young and does not seem very experienced.  My puppy was spayed and the stitches were supposed to be removed.  I realized after we left that she had failed to do so.  When I called to speak to her to inquire about this, she indicated that she was looking at the date we got her rather than the date of her surgery.  Needless to say, we had another vet remove them and will not be going back here.

I brought my kitten Mico @ 12wks old here & I continue to do so even though I have places closer to me because they truly care for their patients. The assistants are warm and caring and Mico feels very comfortable with them. They all give great advice not only in regards to Mico's health but also in regards to the type of insurance which would best suit me. If I had not gotton the advice I needed I would've purchased the wrong plan for my little guy. They saved me time & money. The Veterinarians are great and have patiently answered my questions. They explain things to me in detail making sure I have a clear understanding of what I need to do for Mico & why. I consider myself to be very lucky to have found the right people who continually provide a great enviornment not only for my Mico but for me as well. I highly reccommend this hospital and I have done so whenever I am talking to someone who is looking for a place for their little ones. Read Less

My cat and I are lucky to be in close proximity to such a wonderful place. I've had pets most of my adult life and have been to many animal hospitals and clinics, both in New York and on Long Island. Syosset Animal Hospital is, by far, the best experience my cat and I have ever had. The vets are very knowledgeable. Over the past year I had my kitten examined, spayed, and vaccinated there. All of the procedures and costs were reviewed with me before anything was to be done. Dr. Gothelf explained the laparoscopic spaying procedure to me in great detail, including the recovery period and the aftercare. All went exceptionally well and exactly as he had explained; by the way, the ultimate cost was actually less than what had been quoted. Dr. Gothelf is clearly well-informed on the recent advancements in veterinary medicine and it shows. He is a caring physician and my cat an I always feel very welcomed. Similarly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Silverstein. One evening, a couple of months ago, my cat ate chocolate (which, as it turns out, is more dangerous to cats than it is to dogs). I called the emergency number for the Syosset hospital and was quickly transferred to Dr. Silverstein. Unbelievably, this late in the evening, Dr. Silverstein interviewed me on what my cat had eaten, how much, and walked me through what needed to be done to assure my cat's safety. She had pulled out my cats chart in the meantime to get her weight and other stats. I was able to induce vomit and my cat was alright. Thank you!!!The receptionists and the support staff are warm, friendly and highly organized -- I've never had to wait extensively to be seen or discharged. Great team! Read Less

Unfortunately I had to give this vet one star when it does not deserve any. I have three pups at home and we took them here for about two years for minor issues. 1. Doggie # 1: had been getting cysts on its hip which had gone away the first time. The second time around the cysts came back Dr silverstein or whatever her name is did a culture and tissue sample on the cysts that had popped. She should have seen that there was a lot of dead tissue and the area was severely infected. We kept putting a spray on her which I later found out burns dogs. They gave me a ointment and antibiotic but neither was working because the area again was severely infected. We took her to another vet that said the antibiotic would have never worked and she needs to go into surgery to remove all the dead tissue. 2.Doggie # 2: My maltese was no more than 6 pounds. We had taken her a few months prior for a culture because i believed she had a UTI. They claim that she may have very well had a UTI, but that is very hard for me to believe. She was not getting better and since we put our trust in vets since they have the degrees we gave her a antibiotic. Few months later, I start to notice she is very skinny and not sure why. My puppy never had much of a appetite, but was insulted when the vet said I hope you are not giving her table food. Last time I checked giving a dog chicken with their meals is perfectly fine. She made me feel incompetent of taking care of our pets. Instead of checking how bony she was she said nope she gained weight and her teeth are really bad. I went there to resolve the puppy being so skinny not her teeth. Any good vet that would have seen my little girl would have known that this was not normal. Instead I put my trust in them and said she is ok. Few weeks later I see her slowly getting skinnier and skinnier. Unfortunately it was too late. All along she had something wrong with her liver and was not processing the proper nutrients. We had to put her to sleep due to the neglence of this vet. They are all about money. When I called to discuss doggie # 2 records I never got a prompt call and so I had to call. I had to yell at the receptionist to tell the other doctor who owns the practice to call me since I was an angry customer. Colleen was very helpful and remorseful, as for the other one she could care less like the doctor ms. silversten. All in all ill never get my puppy back, but this vet truly neglects the main issues of dogs and too busy recommending other things that have nothing to do with their condition. People forget that vets are not cheap and although $15,000 was spent on both dogs, it was because their cases were truly severe. We should not have to spend money on things that do not pertain to the condition of the our pets. Whats done is done. The male doctor is very nice, but still the trust and the way this places handles their cases is not up to par. Read Less

Worst care and cost anywhere. Could care less about your pet, only that you leave a credit card that we'll charge $1,000 but probably credit it back. Yeah right - $4,000 later and our cat was sicker than when we brought him in. Then they wanted to do surgery for about $2,000 (probably $4,000). They even suggested that maybe we should just put the cat to sleep! We took our cat to North Shore Animal League, a place that actually cares about your pet, found out cat was on wrong medicine from this place, surgery was absoluetly not needed and for a grand total of $250 he was cured.

My 11 year old daughter wants to be a vet and loves science, so I was sorry I didn't bring her to the appointment. Dr. Gothelf was so thorough and informative - I know exactly what to expect, how to know if something is wrong, and how my puppy's eyeball is feeling (this wasn't a life-threatening situation). It was an education for me. He even gave me useful diet info which wasn't even why we were there! Erin was so helpful when I called and everyone was so patient and unrushed.
