She was unable to walk so I carried her into the exam room where a tech took her pulse, told me it was an urgent case, then left me and the dog alone in the room for over an hour with no update. I finally called the front desk from my cell to let them know we'd been forgotten, then someone came in and said the doctor would be in soon. We waited another half an hour for the vet to come in. When she did, she was unprofessional and downright rude. Any questions I asked were met with irritation, defensiveness, and outright lies (like when she claimed she didn't need to examine the dog because a nurse had conveyed the results of her intake exam in the back, even though no exam had been conducted). I understand they were busy, and I appreciate that being a vet is stressful. But this experience was unacceptable. I will not bring my pets back to Upstate Veterinary Specialties, and would not recommend them to anyone experiencing a medical emergency with their pet.

They gave me a muzzle, with peanut butter on it, to secure on Buddy. Then we loosely covered his head with a towel; while I kept talking to him and petting his head.

I went there stressed he had a UTI then you leave him covered in urine and also some STOOL, My poor baby looked terrible and they left him covered in his pee all scared and didn't even attempt to clean him other than putting a pee pad in his crate which did nothing to clean him otherr then soaking up the pee left in his crate. they also had to take his collar off and i wasn't going to put it on him until the next day to then realize they broke his collar taking it off him and didn't even tell me that...I love dr Kinney, she is the only good provider there but whoever treated my Milo that day did not care for him like you would your own pet, I'm extremely dissapointed with how he was cared for, i do not recommend any other vet then dr Kinney if you need to see someone there.

Generally I've heard negative feedback about Banfield as a company, and the amount they charge you…read moreVS the amount you're getting - but I will say that it is very clear that this location cares about how to treat their customers. It's actually some of the best customer service I've received in just about any type of business - anybody who has taken a 101 on hospitality would be impressed by this location and how they treat you and your pet. It's clear that the owner and employees of this veterinary chain are serious about hospitality. I can't say much for their services, but they do a decent job as far as I'm concerned. Could possibly get better treatment for the money, but overall impressive business from this particular Banfield. Edit: I've had a few disheartening moments with Banfield, so I've lowered my rating by 1. Most notably, a vet attempted to push sales on me that were completely unnecessary, and attempted to sell de-wormer (saying she could see worms on the cat), when they clearly weren't there. They also did the same with shots that my cat had already received, and were on record. This is dishonest business. Overall I still have faith that this Banfield has mostly caring, attentive employees, but I would be careful of this kind of business practice that audaciously tries to sell unnecessary service.

Are you kidding me?We're told to bring him right over! Then told us to take him to an urgent care center down the street , they might take him in sooner. We pay for the insurance for him to be seen there. Not add another vet. I am so disgusted with them. He will not be going back to the Latham office!! Liars and they had no regard for our boy. I will drive the extra time to bring him to a different banfield office!!!! No apology from them or nothing , just cold and harsh!!!

That's the reason I came back when I got my puppy and continued using them for vaccines and other concerns. Unfortunately, my experience since then has been very frustrating. Back in December 2025, I brought my puppy in because we were preparing for his first flight. I explained that he's very high energy and gets anxious. I was first told to try Benadryl, which did nothing. I called back and explained that it wasn't working and that I was concerned about him being on an 8 hour flight. They prescribed gabapentin and told me to try it ahead of time. I did, and it still didn't help at all. My dog was still extremely anxious, barking, and unable to settle. When I called back asking for other options, I was basically told there was nothing else they could do and that dogs sometimes surprise you on flights. That was not helpful advice. My wife and I ended up being kicked off our flight because our dog would not stop barking and crying. That situation was stressful and honestly could have been handled better with more guidance. More recently, my dog has been sick and we have spent over 2000 dollars on visits, bloodwork, medication, and ultrasounds. What has been the most frustrating part is the lack of communication. I have had to reach out multiple times just to get test results. This has happened more than once. When your dog is sick, you should not have to chase down answers. At this point, I feel undervalued as a client. I do not mind paying for care, but I expect communication, support, and follow through in return. That has not been my experience lately.
