It is upsetting to me to have to even write this review because every other staff at this clinic…read morebesides the front greeter is amazing. But after having 3 different awful experiences with this woman I cannot stay silent. My first encounter with her that went awfully was when I had brought me and my moms new puppy and intended to carry him so he did not have a leash since I was conscious about him touching the floor and carts being I did not know how well they had been cleaned and he had no vaccines yet and I was unsure if his mother had any vaccines. She spoke down to me once again, forcing me to put a slip lead on him and put him in a cart despite me being uncomfortable with this.  The next time we had been late on our puppies vaccines and he had to restart his vaccine course to which this woman spoke down to me and my mother about how if we had come in earlier he wouldn't have had to restart and in general was rude and nasty.  This last experience that I had yesterday is by far the worst and inexcusable. My personal dog who is human reactive had been muzzled bc he is large and scary when he barks but has 0 bite history. I stood with him near the door to try and catch the woman and ask her about where we should stand because my dog sometimes barks at people. when she came out she very rudely told me people had been waiting and I couldnt cut in line. I expressed that i was trying to alert her to my dog and keep him from people to which he is reactive. She told me she would have to help the others first and that the line started in the back. I assured again that was fine and she started helping people to which my dog started screaming because he saw another dog and got excited so she told me to go wait on the other side. I moved me and my dog to the other side of the door behind a pillar and was giving him treats and praise for ignoring the people and dogs. She came back to told me I needed to wait around the other side of the building all the way at the end and she would get me. I waited out there for 20-30 minutes crying because she made me feel shamed for trying to properly keep my dog under control and everyone comfortable. My mother ended up coming to help me speak to someone because of the treatment and we went straight back to the manager to speak yo him and were placed in line. When we walked in she tried to make an excuse that she somehow didnt know I was waiting outside despite her telling me to wait there. Everyone was amazing and helped us perfectly fine until my mother was trying to check out at the front with some items she was purchasing and heard the front desk woman telling other customers to "watch out for the girl and her mom with the muzzle dog who was lunging at others" to which my mom had an argument with her and left. My mom called me and informed me she was up there speaking about us and the woman standing in line next to us informed me that she had also been given the same warning about me and my dog and I alerted the manager of this. As I was leaving she was once again speaking about me and my dog If you look at any other negative review of this clinic it mentioned this woman and her repeated behavior like this. So this begs the question: are some dogs inherently less deserving of vet care because of their reactivity and does this woman get to decide?

I have been going to this clinic for a decade but will no longer be going here because recently…read morethey stopped letting pet owners go w/their pets to receive vaccines which I find to be highly suspect. The big reason though is they would only sell me 6mo. worth of heartworm medication when I normally buy a years worth because it is cheaper that way. The want me to pay for 2 tests a year when no other vet in this country does that. Of course they did not tell me this until AFTER doing the test so now I am forced to pay for it. My dog has NEVER lapsed on his tests or medications so there is NO REASON for them to not sell him a years worth of medication. This is VERY SHADY business & I wonder if it is fraud. I will be looking into it.

A strong word of warning about Dr. Ashley Powell and Animal Medical Center:…read more We took our dog in for an emergent but common procedure. He was diagnosed quickly and surgery was recommended (to be performed by Dr. Koegel). Hours go by with no updates so I called to find out what was going on. Dr. Ashley Powell (the co-owner of the practice) got on the phone to tell me our dog died during surgery and Dr. Koegel was upset so she sent her home. Dr. Powell gave an - we don't really know what happened the procedure itself went great he just didn't do well - explanation of what happened. We went in to say goodbye and during our second post-surgical interaction she said the same thing - no clear explanation of what happened. My husband and I are both in medicine and knew something was off here. On our THIRD conversation after demanding to know what transpired during the procedure step by step (and demanding to speak to the lead surgeon Dr. Koegel) we learned that Dr Koegel mistakenly cut into our dogs diaphragm and called Dr. Powell into the room to help stabilize him while Dr. Koegel attempted to suture the laceration. This unforced surgical error was what killed our dog (admitted by all parties in our 4th conversation). What is more disturbing to me than a mistake happening during a procedure is the lack of professionalism, transparency and ethics by Dr. Koegel and Dr. Powell at every step. Dr. Powell runs the practice and found it reasonable to send Dr Koegel home instead of doing the ethical thing of facing the family and explaining what happened and taking that responsibility. Most importantly, Dr. Powell was not honest during the first two conversations about what happened during the procedure even though she was in the room. Medical professionals have a solemn obligation to conduct themselves with integrity even in the tough moments and Drs. Powell & Koegel lack that fidelity. We can't accept the idea of something like this happening to another family so please reconsider your vet care - Dr. Powell also co-owns Ally Urgent Medical Care off North Great Neck Rd in addition to co-owning Animal Medical Center. Dr. Koegel has since left AMC.

Not sure how I've never left a review for Keats' vet, but it's long overdue! I've been bringing my…read morepup here for about 8 years, and they've taken amazing care of him every step of the way. Earlier this year, Keat had to have surgery to remove a mast cell tumor ... a super stressful and scary situation for any pet parent. The entire team did everything they could to make both of us feel comfortable and cared for. They explained everything clearly, checked in constantly, and were just as invested in his recovery as we were. His regular checkups and yearly exams are always smooth and efficient. The staff and vets are friendly, gentle, and keep Keat calm, even when he's a little nervous. We also stopped by just this week for a quick tech appointment and shots, and we were in and out in about 15 minutes ... can't ask for better than that. Whether it's something routine or a serious issue, I've always felt like I was in great hands here. So grateful to have a vet team I can trust with my pup's care. Highly recommend them!

She especially loved Amanda, who always was always happy to see Lillie's name on the board. The office and pharmacy staff are always responsive to my texts for prescription refills for all my fur babies. And they have shown such love and care after the loss of my Lillie. Dr. Baker also took wonderful care of Eason, my sweet petite golden girl before Lillie. And before that Dr. Morris took care of Georgia. Thank you to all for being the wonderful practice and people that you are. There's a special place in heaven for those who love and care for our fur children.

Let me explain what I enjoyed about this practice: - they had calming music (classical) playing throughout the office which immediately calmed my two cats. - there was feliway in every room of the vet! ***** FIVE stars just for that! Upon entering my cats immediately stopped meowing and were calm because we have feliway diffusers at our home too. - the veterinarian was very nice and so was her vet tech. The veterinarian was very knowledgeable. She took her time with both of my cats examinations. I felt listened to. She heard all of my concerns and addressed each one individually. I felt that she spent enough time with me and with my cats. A very pleasant experience. - the exam rooms were very cosy. They encouraged me to open up my carrier and let my kitties roam if they so pleased. There were little perches on the walls and good hiding spots to help my kitties feel safe, as well. - one of my cats had to get 2 vaccines which the vet tech & doctor performed effortlessly. He didn't even flinch! This office was a little bit of a drive for me but worth it for the care that I received. I would recommend this office to any bougie cat moms who want the best for their babies!

Fourth visit to this establishment, the people are generally nice who work here but they do not…read morerespect your time. If you make an appointment, expect to wait at least 40 minutes until after your appointment time for your cat to actually be seen. Even with an early morning appointment, which you would expect to not have any delays, you will still be waiting no less than 40 minutes. They require you to make appointments to pick up medication, which seems wildly ridiculous to me to begin with, and even for those appointments I have never waited less than 20 minutes to pick up medication. The first time I picked up meds at this place there was another woman waiting with her child and two cats, and I overheard her saying to her daughter that they had been there for almost 3 hours!! For a standard checkup! If you have all the time in the world then this may be the place for you, but unfortunately, as a person who has other places to be and other people to consider, I'm not sure that this will be the best long-term option for me and my two cats. Hopefully they can improve on this as it seems like a pretty easy issue to rectify, all they need to do is honor their actual appointment times.
