    I happily give this vet's office a 10/10! I'm in law school, so not a ton of money, but my babies…read moreneeded dental help. I came here because they had great reviews, but primarily because they were the ONLY vet I could find that allowed me to be in the room with them while they were first examined. COVID meant that every single other office, both in my vicinity and further away, only allowed parking lot pick-up for an exam. Uh...no. So, that won them major points, but it was the actual care that I'm truly happy about. Let's just say things were waaaay more involved than I or the doctor imagined, but the medical care was truly top notch, and I'd recommend them to anyone else in a NY minute! Dr. Borgman was extremely thorough, and called to let me know how they were doing during the cleaning, which is really helpful for any nervous fur-mom. When I came in later, he also gave me an in depth explanation of their procedures, which I really appreciated. I've been a pet guardian for years, so I've experienced several vets, and this is a REALLY, REALLY good vet's office, folks.

    I brought my puppy in for a routine spay and initially thought everything was fine, but the…read moreexperience quickly went downhill. After drop-off, I received unexpected calls asking for additional procedures that were never discussed beforehand, which felt confusing and inappropriate, especially while my pup was already in their care. Communication was poor, inconsistent, and at times unprofessional. When I tried to get clarity, I was met with dismissive and unfriendly responses from staff and the veterinarian, Dr. Lemyre. I lost confidence in their care due to the lack of transparency and the way concerns were handled. At pickup, the environment felt uncomfortable, and my request for an apology was brushed off by Dr. Lemyre. To make matters worse, I was falsely accused of behavior that never happened. It's upsetting being falsely accused--based on apparent prejudice--of using profanity toward staff, which was definitely not true. I was in my own clinic with students from HPU present and the call was on speaker phone. Therefore, several staff members witnessed the conversation, including my the Clinical Manager and Executive Director. Despite this, Dr. Lemyre never offered an apology and instead suggested I could just come in and anyone can evaluate my puppy's surgical site in two weeks. Hindsight, she has been treating my puppy, and I can also have my records in to take my puppy elsewhere. Dr. Lemyre basically used tokenism today to mask her biased opinion, but it is very apparent. Overall, I left feeling disrespected, misled, and extremely disappointed. After paying a significant amount, I expected much better communication, compassion, and professionalism. She showed such lack of empathy for my pup as well and it made me question why is she a veterinarian she can't treat human beings with respect. I would not recommend this practice.

    I heard about this boarding facility through a friend and decided to check it out as I am always…read morelooking for a place where my dog could be comfortable and feel right at home when I was travelling or needed a short stay for my pup. I looked at the owner's website www.camp-ruff.com which describes their facility as a "lux camp" for dogs and puppies. I was intrigued and called for an appt to view the property and see the operations. I was met by the Camp Director/Owner, a delightful, sincere woman named Lucinda. She greeted me and my dog and proceeded to show me the camp home, which is divided into sections based on the needs and behaviors of the various dogs she was boarding. She listened to my description of my dogs needs, habits and observed her to judge how she would behave w other dogs. One by one she let a dog out from the house, where they have their "sleep over", cautiously to see what my dog would do. As the animals were about my dog's size everyone seemed to accept each other. Great news! Lucinda decided to take the next step by taking my dog w the small pack for some exercise on the trail in the woods behind the house. The dogs were running around having a great time which relieved my anxiety that my dog might not like to be off leash but she was running and getting some great exercise and learning to enjoy the pack mentality. No fighting or misbehaving, perfect! Lucinda works tirelessly to pamper the pooches morning and night. Morning feedings, evening feedings, medications and always careful observations of the pets. They all sleep like happy babies when the day ends in a real home environment. Prices are in line and reasonable I think for an overnight stay of $44 including feeding, walking, playtime and careful observation by someone who is highly qualified and very knowledgeable of pet behavior. All animals come in contact w other pets only when owner has documentation for boarding such as rabies vaccination, bordetello. This place is a well thought out and safe place to leave your precious pet while you are away. So relax, they got your back!

    Lucinda does a great job taking care of our baby. We've been with her for over a year now and never…read morehad a problem.
