"PANCREATITIS IS VERY HARD ON THE DOG SHE IS GOING TO BE LIKE THAT FOR A WHILE PANCREATITIS DOESNT GO AWAY RIGHT AWAY" then the male assistant only asked if she ate or not (which she did the night before.) You guys let me leave with her pain meds. You also stated you wouldn't have sent her home if you didn't think she was okay. Well you sent her home and she died. As for your very witty "We are not mind readers" comment, I clearly know that because you do not even have common sense to admit that you guys have screwed up. A pet dies and your reply is hope you get over it soon. For those of you planning on going here, my neighbor who lives across the street from me had the same breed dog who recently died under their care. BE AWARE AND GET A SECOND OPINION. I do not recommend this place at all.

We have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 12 years and he has always been great. Dr. Kaye is…read morevery caring and compassionate. Most importantly, he does not run unnecessary tests and put animals through unnecessary pain for money. My 14 year old Pomeranian recently got hepatitis and would've died without Dr. Kaye and his crew. They kept us informed of his status and gave us daily updates. Dr. Kaye would even come on his days off to ck on my dog to make sure he's ok. I could understand why other reviewers complaint about the bill. However, vet costs are generally pretty high, especially in New York. Besides, Dr. Kaye's rate is actually much cheaper than some other multi-specialty pet hospital (such as Blue Pearl). Also, both of my friend's dogs have been dr. Kaye's patient for the past 2 to 3 years and she's never had any problems either. In general, I'm really glad we have dr. Kaye as our vet. Unfortunately, people usually don't bother posting a review when they are happy with their vet experience. That s why I want to share my experience to provide a more balanced view.

Dr. Kwasnik is caring, honest, and thorough -- he only recommends what is truly necessary, explains everything clearly, and even calls to check in after treatment.

I live in Queens and will gladly continue to make the drive for wellness visits or anything my dog ever needs. I can't recommend him enough.

After reading some interesting reviews here, I wanted to weigh in on my experiences with Dr Selmer…read moreand his practice. Its a shame that some people have felt they were treated unfairly by Dr Selmer but I do believe that a thorough examination of your pet with full testing, even though sometimes pricey, will long term bring better results. And I have two healthy happy cats at home to prove my case. Case #1: JB February of 2014, JB, my 12 year old male cat started losing weight rapidly, eating excessively and drinking water like crazy. He went down to 9 pounds! I of course started freaking out and took him to my vet at the time. The vet told me he probably had cancer even though his blood test results came back negative. She told me to prepare for his demise in a few weeks because she couldnt figure out what was wrong with him. She was literally scratching her head with confusion. So, obviously heart broken, I started to search for a second opinion. Then I found Dr Selmer, but since he was on vacation, he referred me to a wonderful doctor at an Emergency Hospital for further testing till he returned. She did further tests and after a few weeks of waiting, JB's diagnosis came back with Irritable Bowel Syndrome which turned out to be totally manageable! Of course, all this testing was not cheap but he's my boy so I was prepared to get to the bottom of his illness. Dr Selmer then took over his care, ordered a nutritional diet and some chinese herbs to balance out his steroids. His whole concern was that JB have a better quality of life and not be so reliant on the Western medicine which can cause damage long term. As of today, almost 2 years later, JB is a healthy 13 pound tom cat playing with his toys and purring away everyday. THAT is only because of Dr Selmers care. JB does have to go in for blood work every 6 months which does cost a bit, around $700 but the results then lead to tweaking his herbs and his food as he ages and its worth it to me to have him in my life healthy and happy. Case #2: Sarah For years Sarah has scratched at her ears. The old vet would check for ear mites, and various issues but could never get to the bottom of her ear trouble. They instructed me to clean out her ears every other day, add drops, you name it. Then they thought she had an allergy to fish or plastic so there went the plastic bowls, to be replaced with glass. Then the old vet finally concluded that "Some cats just get gunk in their ears". Case closed for them. But yet still no relief for my suffering cat. Took her to Dr Selmer after the great results with JB and he asked if he could run tests on her ears for an infection. I of course said yes and then wondered why the other Vets didnt check for that. He said it was because of the cost of the test which was about $300. I agreed to it since we had no other answers and lo and behold, infection was the cause! He put a dissolving ear medicine into her ears which melted after a few days and BOOM, Kitty has no more ear scratching! That was done in February of 2015 and she's been infection free ever since. An integrative approach to Veterinary care is not inexpensive. And it can be time consuming. But for me, the results are what speak volumes. JB was basically left for dead from the old vet. Sarah was finally given up on as well with her issues. Dr Selmer is thorough and gets to the bottom of the issues and it does cost. But if you want the best, sometimes you just gotta pay for it.

I took Summer, my 7 year old Labrador mix to get checked for back pains. Dr.Selmer quickly got to the root of the problem and made a great difference with his remedies.

Needless to say, Dr.Selmer is a very caring and hardworking doctor. I recommend him to anyone considering visiting him.

Every time I write a review for her, I am near tears. She has helped my boy William so so much and even better, has calmed a nervous cat mom. William has been Dr. Budgin's patient since June 2020 and although there were many bumps in the road, she is the only person who has been able to give him a quality life. Every time he has an issue, she finds a way to solve it. She is smart and thorough and will handle your pet like a fine piece of china. After seeing her on July 7th, she took him off the Apoquel, and put him on a low dose steroid. He has never looked better! He is playful again and is enjoying his very spoiled life! I am sure there will be emergencies in mine and William's future, but I have no doubt Dr. Budgin will get to the bottom of his issue(s)! If there are truly angels on Earth, this woman is one. I couldn't recommend her highly enough! I will be forever indebted to her and her wonderful staff. Thank you again for all you do; you're just simply amazing! With much appreciation, Melissa and William
