When looking for a vet for our new french bulldog, we asked for recommendations. Many people said wonderful things about Twins Veterinary, but unfortunately when I called they had no availability for months. I wound up getting an appointment here at Babylon Animal Hospital. During her first visit she got shots and a thorough examination. The very kind vet and vet tech were very patient, answering all of my questions and giving advice. We got her chipped, and they trimmed her nails free of charge. They handled her with care and she did not yelp or cry once, during shots, nail clipping, or having the chip put in. Right now our pup is there getting spayed. She has to stay the night, which is so tough for us.. the office told me when I could call to check in, and when i did, they gushed about how sweet she is and how much they were enjoying her. We cannot wait to pick her up tomorrow but they've made me feel comfortable that she's in good hands! read more

not very helpful. Im sorry my cat is dying and because I cant get to his vet you wont help.

Very welcoming and gentle people, my Clyde got all fixed up for a reasonable price . The doctor was on point and answered all my questions, the meds they gave him worked fast and to get refills very easy A+++ if you need a good long term vet this is the place! read more

Lying staff, uncaring Dr. ( Dr Jason Kirschbaum) Do not recommend. Cancelled my appointment, never notified me, I arrived and was told " oh we called you, the Dr went home, there is no Dr on premises". I asked the number they called, and sure enough it was my cell which I then showed them there was no call received. Then she blamed another receptionist who had already left. If you like this kind of disrespect they're the vet practice for you! read more

DISGUSTING!!! While I felt Dr Kirshbaum was helpful and honest. His reception/office staff is absolutely one of the worst. And unfortunately when you call the office and/or need something, that is who you have to deal with. Four phone calls from another Dr's office who is a specialist waiting for the X-rays and nothing. For an animal that needed emergency surgery that Dr Kirshbaum was not able to perform. When they finally sent them over, they emailed them in a way that was useless and unreadable. Dr. Kirshbaum if you see this review, there are plenty of people looking for jobs that will do better than what you have. read more

This may be the only veterinary practice that I have ever been able to give a good review to consistently. They have qualified caring people. Not just the primary doctor but also associates. The techs are strong and capable. As a team this practice really puts your pet in safer hands then most. Veterinary care is expensive but they are reasonable comparatively for surgeries and capable. Dr. Liguori could clearly qualify as a human surgeon / doctor. He and the staff I have met and recommended friends to have always been capable and compassionate. Too few good places. This is one. read more

I needed a new vet and my dog must have gotten kennel cough from boarding. They got me in within 24 hours. The vet was very nice and took great care of my boy. I'm happy to have a new vet close to home. read more

Dr Kirshbaum is very knowledgeable and the girls in the front are very nice . My only issue is they are very busy and getting an appointment with a sick animal may require a wait. read more

From the front desk to the medical staff, this was a seamless experience. It was my first time having a pet that needed surgery so I was anxious, nervous and had a lot of questions. EVERYONE was patient and explained everything to me.They all have a pleasant demeanor & made me feel like my cat was getting the top notch attention. I am glad I found Babylon Animal Hospital. I have no complaints and there is nothing I would change. FIVE STAR IS WELL DESERVED! read more

We were appalled when we received this 669 dollar estimate from Babylon Animal Hospital for our 7 month old kitten who was already a patient at the practice. Our first and only visit there, we were pressured to leave our cat to be neutered that day. We didn't feel comfortable leaving him without researching the office more and so we decided to call back for an estimate. We had to call three times before it was emailed to us. Due to COVID-19, it has been very hard to get pets spayed/neutered. Knowing how hard it's been they would rather attempt to extort us than keep us as long term customers. Suffice to say we will not give them the chance to do either. read more

Let me start by saying that I don't often write reviews but I feel like this one was necessary as I would do anything for my dog (my 93 pound pitbull who thinks that she is a lap dog). I want to personally thank Dr. Kirshbaum and the staff at Babylon Animal Hospital, you are the reason that my dog is not only here today but thriving! Dr. Kirshbaum first diagnosed my dog with a type of skin cancer on her back at 3 years old but he was able to surgically remove it and she was cancer free! Then at 9 years old Dr. Kirshbaum diagnosed a new/different type of cancer but this time it was on her leg, once again he was able to surgically remove it and get rid of all of the cancer. When she turned 11 this past year during a check up he found a small growth that turned out to be a new/different type of cancer again except this time on her stomach. After Dr. Kirshbaum completed surgery he was able to remove all of the cancer and at 11 years old my baby was cancer free again! Then more recently she had stopped doing stairs and of course Dr. Kirshbaum knew exactly what to do. After we spoke he told me he had a new injection to help with arthritis and boy was he right. Not only is my dog doing stairs again but she is a puppy again! Dr. Kirshbaum without your amazing diagnostic and surgical skills my Anna wouldn't be here today so thank you for being the best doctor out there! You are the reason why she wants to play 24/7 at the age of 11 years old (even as I am sitting here writing this read more

dr mercurio is very caring and thorough. I feel confident that he really cares about my dog and wants to get him the very best care I recommend Babylon Animal Hospital they follow up and want to ensure your dog is Healthy and happy read more

I took my dog Trooper here for the first time and from the minute you walk in the door everyone is friendly and made us feel so comfortable. You can tell everyone really has a love for animals. I highly recommend this Vet for all your pets needs. read more

Mr.Jason, If not for the woman who spent almost 3 hours on the phone apologizing repeatedly I would have reported your Doctor to the state. In 2 weeks of conversation NEVER was this discussed Nor, cutting her open within an hour, In the even you were remotely being honest and it was her HEALTH you were so concerned with the 63rd day would have NOT been exceeded and all details would have been clear also I'd like to mention 7 hours before your office closes was I there,, as I was offered a "room" AFTER your facility realized you F$%$$%% UP with the wrong patient! The fact is he thought it being the 63rd day, He would scare me into torturing her with a c-section and leaving this little girl in a strange place ALONE with STRANGERS, Noises, phones, barking, and crew more concerned with Face diapers then patients, ill also add, when I asked why didn't the girls inform me on this, his response was,"they don't know anything " Therefore someone who disrespects his staff says alot as well! I'd also like to add UNFORTUNATELY the USA has lost 7 mother dogs over 10 years due to complications of birth where pitocin was used DURING gestational, while being under doc care! read more

Truly love this staff!! Thank you for taking care of my boy during his surgery. He is doing very well.

Doctor Mercurio is the absolute best. He has taken such good care of my cat Jack. I would never bring him to any other vet. He always calls me back and addresses all of my concerns. After talking to him my mind is always at ease. I can see how much he cares for animals. Thank God for this incredible doctor. read more

My experience was terrific! The front desk was very accommodating and Dr. Mercurio did a great job explaining everything to me. I highly recommend Babylon Animal Hospital!! read more

I went into the office for medications for my sick cat and left a message for Dr. Mercurio requesting a call during the week. I called again this morning. I besides the original question a had others. I notice that Koolkat seemeed to be having difficulty with the food when he did attempt to eat. I order a past consistency cat treat to see if he ate it. Slowly but he did eat. I wanted to know if during the exam if he looked in Kool Kats mouth to see if there was anything going on with the mouth..I wanted to know if his thyroid felt swollen. I wanted to know if I should bring him in. I waited all day. Kept both my cell and the land line in my pocket (I was spending a lot of time on the floor in the closet making sure Koolkat ate. If I had to get up out of that position it would not be quick enough to get to the phone. I did not want to miss the call. I waited all day. I did not get to take a shower because again I did not want to miss the call. I was feeling very itchy around 4PM and decided to call to ask when I might expect the call from Dr. Mercurio. I got a tape stating they were closed....it did not take messages. Now no one will be there until Monday.............isn't that lovely? rating is really pending but so far on this...................... read more

I live in Syosset and drive past many veterinary hospitals to get to Babylon Animal Hospital - it's well worth the trip. The staff is friendly and efficient, and my cat get's exceptional care and is treated with love and kindness. In addition, it is a full service clinic, which is why necessary tests like my cat's x-rays and ultrasound could be done on-site. Dr. Kirshbaum is a terrific diagnostician, providing thoughtful analysis and treatment, and, in a recent visit, he had a top-notch ultrasound specialist in to perform that test. I've taken pets to a lot of vets at a number of hospitals, and this is clearly the best place to go. read more

First time there I was very impressed. They took great care with Max, and staff was extremely polite and professional. I highly recommend them. read more

The entire staff and doctors at this animal hospital are the most caring I've had the pleasure of working with. I live on the North Shore and the cost of pet care is so astronomical that I had to forgo simple treatments. It's really a pleasure to have affordable care at this facility. It means the difference of having a healthy pet or one that you must sacrifice their care because of high costs. My concerns are always answered in a caring manner. When I'm sitting in the waiting room the attitudes from the other pet parents is so positive because they know their pets are getting the best possible care. I highly recommend that if you love your pet, this is the place to take them for their care. You won't be disappointed. My profile comes up from SanFrancisco, Ca but I'm from Smithtown read more

Never ever everever take your parrots bird of any kind to this awful place!!!! They clipped her wings wrong missed a nail to be clipped and also put her carrier in backwards??? I wasn't aloud to go in with her but heard her screaming for a while (which happens for a min when I'm aloud to go in to DR MONACO I'VE USED HM FOR 30 YEARS BUT THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN WHEN I NEEDED NOT THEIR FAULT. IN PLAINVIEW)so I don't know what they did to her) please don't bring your birds there. Lesson learned the hard way..my baby suffered and now her wings are totally MESSED UP!!!!! ONLY DR MONACO NO MATTER THE EMERGENCY.....!!! PLEASSSEEE DON'T BRING YOUR BIRD THERE read more

Great service and wonderful caring people about their pets and our pets. I've taken three different dogs there and they're service is definitely consistent. Highly appreciate everyone! read more

I just love Dr.Kirshbaum now that he has taken over the practice. He and his new staff are so caring, and respectful for my 3 of my cats .... . Thank you so much for all you do read more

Dr. Beiderman is the best!! I always bring my cats to her, she is the only reason I go there.

This vet insisted on costly knee surgery for my dog the day after his injury. He was very adamant that we scheduled surgery that day. We took him to another doctor for a second opinion who advised that we wait 3-4 weeks and my dog made a 100% recovery. I would strongly caution anyone against using this vet. read more

If I could give you 0 stars, I would. My experience was not a recent one but it left me so bitter, I have to tell my story. I took my dog who suffered from a malabsorption problem. I became suspicious after he offered treatments which didn't make sense. One of the treatments was an external spray to make my dogs coat shinier, really? I ran from there as fast as I could. On another occasion, I brought in a seagull in distress. I came across it at the nearby Boston Market. I only went to The Babylon Animal Hospital because it was literally across the street. The place was full, and the receptionist coldly charged me over $100. It wildlife!!!!! Do you people have any decency? I once again ran out of that greedy s**t h**e and the bird was euthanized by the animal hospital in Amityville. Oh, by the way, free of charge. The seagull wasn't a pet, it was wildlife!!!!!! So, with that said, pet owners, please educate yourselves before you become victims at your pets expense. Now that I told my story, I can move on. read more

Have used this Vet for care of 2 dogs for several years. Nothing but very good experiences. Dr.'s and staff are kind and knowledgeable. They do not overcharge or perform unnecessary procedures. The new ownership has modernized the practice and is making improvements. Privately owned and operated. Feel very comfortable bring our animals here. read more

Fairly certain this animal hospital is to blame for the death of my cat, Tabitha. They diagnosed her with kidney disease and put her on medicine, and then her kidneys failed and another vet had to put her to sleep. I only wish that Yelp or other online reviews existed before I took any of my animals there. Had I know that they had such a terrible reputation, I never would have went in the first place. How they remain open is unknown to me. read more

Brought my cat in on Nov. 5th for she was not eating and not relieving herself. Dr. Mercurio checked her and said she's constipated - he extracted some feces and gave us laxatives to give her at home. He stated she will be fine in a couple of days. He recommended doing an xray and blood work. we agreed! He came back and stated he saw nothing on xray and that he would call us Monday or Tuesday with blood work results. We took our cat home and gave her the laxatives as he recommended. she was still not well by Monday. I called and left a message for Dr. Mercurio. (no returned call). I called him Tuesday and receptionist stated he was in surgery and that he would return my call. I called again 4 hours later and left another lengthy message with receptionist that my cat is not better and is very lethargic. still no returned call. Dr. Mercurio finally called Wednesday night at exactly 7:30pm. stated my cat had an infection (needs antibiotic) and that her blood sugar was high and she is now a diabetic. (needs insulin). All this information was a little too late. My cat died that morning!!! If he would have returned my calls, Maybe... just maybe my cat would still be alive! We are heartbroken!!! They will NEVER see any of my pets nor will I ever recommend anyone! I give ZERO stars!!!!! EDIT: I received a copy of the blood work.. let's add insult to injury!!! the bloodwork was reported to them on the 6th..... read more

I have never spoken out against a place of business before on social media but the negligence and incompetence of The Babylon Animal Hospital at 350 E. Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst nearly cost us the life of a family member, our beloved Newfi mix, Keegan. Keegan suffers from Addison's, whereby her body cannot produce Adrenaline to sustain her without daily doses of steroids and monthly injections of Cortisol. On 3/17/21 Keegan was examined by Dr. Biederman who professed to have knowledge and experience with Addison's. Dr. Biederman had examined Keegan previously and had adjusted Keegan's medication levels last October. On 3/17/21, Keegan was in an apparent Addison's crisis, she was not eating or drinking and had become listless. They determined she was dehydrated but provided no fluids, they never bothered to run the necessary blood work to check her Cortisol levels, because they lied about their knowledge and ability to administer such a test. They performed an X-Ray revealing a mass. They sent us home and told us to come back the next day for an ultrasound. Upon completion of the ultrasound first thing in the morning there was no mass, and they admitted the X-Ray was corrupted however this information was not shared until that evening at which point, we were advised to bring Keegan to a 24-hour facility and that she may not survive the night. The Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island took Keegan in and immediately reviewed the blood work performed by Dr. Biederman. They were appalled, stating that Keegan was dangerously dehydrated...yesterday. They immediately began administering fluids and steroids and we sat vigil all night not knowing if she would live or die. The people at the Medical Center offered us 24-hour access and through their heroic efforts Keegan recovered. Now after all this we re-approached Dr. Biederman and respectfully requested that they reverse all their charges totaling over $1,000 especially since they admitted to the corrupted X-Ray which necessitated the sonogram. After waiting a full week for their reply, they declined and so I am warning everyone against Dr. Biederman and The Babylon Animal Hospital; they are unprofessional, incompetent, negligent, and downright dangerous to the health and wellbeing of your pet.

awful, uncozy and uncomfortable environment. i had a pomeranian puppy who was less than a year old at the time. i got him from a reputable breeder; the breeder's primary vet office was babylon animal hospital so we had to take our little guy there for his first appointment. when we first arrived, the receptionist was cold and the environment was unwelcoming and stagnant. when it was time for my pup to be examined, the vet tech had to bring him to a back room for blood work, which i thought was strange. it scared me, because i already felt uneasy about being at this vet. then dr. lugori or whatever his name was gave him a mediocre, half assed examination and then we were on our way. we got into the car and i realized that my puppy's leg was BLEEDING. the vet tech didn't even WRAP HIS LEG UP. i would rate this place 0 stars. these people who work there are incompetent and rude. if anything, go to DEER PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL. dr. meyer is the best!! the event that i'm writing about happened 4 years ago. immediately after my dogs appointment, i wrote a nasty yelp review about my experience. however, i can't find it so i'm rewriting it. people need to be made aware of how animals are treated at this facility. i will never forget this experience. read more

Babylon Animal Hospital - look at my precious boy! i don't get how he was treated in such in awful way. - Veterinarians Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

I am very grateful for this place and all they have done for my pets. Everything was handled with care and everything was explained with compassion. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. It's usually busy but never seems to be overwhelming because the staff handles it so well. I would recommend (and have recommended) this hospital to everyone and anyone looking for help with their pets. I have also boarded my pets for periods of time when I had to go away and have never had a complaint about that either. Wonderful hospital. Wonderful staff. You would be wise to go here. read more

I have been bringing my family dogs here for years. I have never had a problem with any of the staff. There was one doctor I did not like. I simply told reception I did not want to see that doctor, and I never saw her again. They have always taken good care of my pets. I have never felt like I was over charged or told I needed a service I did not need. My whole family goes here and I would recommend them to all. read more

I'm not normally one to review but after my experience here today I will no longer be bringing my dog to this vet. This was my first time being able to go into the room with my dog since before COVID restrictions were put into place. My dog was immediately nervous going into the office which had never happened before. After getting into the room, with the handlers and the doctor, my dog was frantically trying to leave, which again is abnormal behavior for him. They tried to put a muzzle on him which was never done before and he was not letting it happen. I went for a checkup, 2 vaccinations, and to get his nails clipped. Because he was so nervous, they were only able to quickly give him the vaccinations. When I was checking out I was presented with a $150 bill that included an exam/office visit of $64. When I said that the only thing that was able to be done was the vaccinations, the receptionist went to the back to speak with the doctor and said that since the doctor went into the room it still counts as an exam. This is even though my dog didn't even make it up onto the table to be examined. I'm completely dissatisfied with my experience here and will be looking for a new vet for my pup. read more

ZERO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION!!! Here is all you need to know, my cat a stray who adopted us, was seen by Dr.Ligouri and all the other drs at this facility. Since we knew nothing of this adorable stray who refused to leave out house, we had HER checked out. We were told she was a spayed female. Fast forward about 10 years, my poor kitty is really sick, vets closed, run HER over to the 24 emergency care. First thing we find out....Our FEMALE is really a neutered MALE! This cat has been treated for two serious animal bites from her time spent outdoors and had numerous check ups...NO ONE noticed that the cat they told us was female was actually male! STAY AWAY! read more

Since moving to Long Island three years ago, my dog has seen NO ONE ELSE. I have had nothing but a great experience, Dr. Lopez is amazing & treats the love of my life (MY DOG) as if he were his own. Hes gentle, he listens, hes patient, hes kind & dealing with someone as neurotic as myself, its a damn blessing..Kristen ( the vet tech at the front desk) has been nothing short of amazing since I' ve met her, my dog absolutely loves her, & when ever he goes in for shots or testing she holds him and goes with him in the back.. it seriously means soo much to me.. I wouldn't trust any other Dr to ever look after my babies.. ever.. read more

Dr. Ligouri treated my beloved canine for ten years and was marvelous the entire time and especially when I had to lay her to rest. I have since adopted two wild cats and am very pleased with his care and expertise. Witnessed his office in several emergency situations and admire their professional work ethic and dedication to the well being of animals in the rescue community. read more
